Chapter 1293: Tit for Tat (7K)

"They all ran away? What are you doing!"

"This group of monks is too fast! They move in unison and are well-trained. They don't look like scattered soldiers at all."

"It's not that they are fast, they just disappeared in front of us!"

An image spread in the Star Network of the Holy Dynasty.

It was obvious that the group of attackers was about to be caught up by the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty, but they turned into nothingness at the critical moment and drifted in the air.

The soldiers of the Holy Dynasty thought that the other party was teleported away and wanted to continue tracking.

But there was no trace of space fluctuations at all.

"Request support. At present, the number of soldiers in Luoyanzhou is the limit to maintain the defense of Tiancheng. We are unable to pursue and clear out the remaining forces of the Immortal Alliance in the country."

"We have cleared out all the resistance forces in Shilinzhou. We can rush over!"

"We are almost there! Brothers, hold on!"

...

Sun Erlang looked at the internal communications of the eastern battlefield and was considering whether to send another part of the troops to jointly encircle Luoyanzhou.

Suddenly, as if a flash of lightning lit up in his mind, Sun Erlang's heart jumped suddenly.

And a wave of doubts surged.

He suddenly remembered something that his master had said before.

"No, no. Luoyanzhou, Luoyanzhou should have been destroyed once. Although the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance later rebuilt Luoyanzhou, there is no way there are so many monks defending there..."

"How could I forget such an important thing?"

Sun Erlang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He had already noticed something wrong, and immediately issued an order to all the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty: "Put aside all support for Luoyanzhou. I will send someone to solve it myself."

"The 36th Corps responsible for guarding Luoyanzhou should also evacuate as soon as possible."

Military orders are like mountains.

No one raised any questions, but just quickly executed the order.

"I am Lan Xiangwen, the commander of the 36th Corps of the First Legion. I have led my troops to evacuate. We have retreated to Luoyingzhou according to the order."

"But... I don't see any of our people here."

"Lan Xiangwen, what nonsense are you talking about? We have been waiting for you at the agreed location, and you haven't seen a single hair! Where are you!"

"No, Lan Xiangwen, your location shows that you are still within Luoyanzhou! What are you doing with the 36th Corps?!"

...

There was a hint of confusion in the internal communication of the Eastern Battlefield.

Wang Xuanba, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Battlefield, decisively isolated the communication of this group of people, and then began to question them in detail.

At this time, Sun Erlang's voice also came over.

"Xuanba, there is something strange about this place. According to my confirmation, after all the soldiers of the 36th Corps entered Luoyanzhou, their positions have never changed. It's like they fell into a deep sleep."

"So don't believe any information they report. It should be an illusion in their dreams."

Wang Xuanba was a little surprised: "I have sent a strange beast body to sneak in, but I didn't find them. But I didn't expect it to be an illusion?"

"The newly built Luoyantian City was indeed breached before. The first batch of soldiers who were transferred did move away from Luoyanzhou. It should be some kind of means launched by the Immortal Alliance later. Even, it was not the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance..." Sun Erlang said his conclusion.

"My puppet body has reached the territory of Luoyanzhou..."

In front of Sun Erlang, the picture of Luoyanzhou came.

There was no human figure at the location where Wang Xuanba's strange beast body was sensed by the Sea of ​​Stars.

Even the entire Luoyanzhou could not see any battle.

It was calm.

"Even the puppet body can be dragged into the illusion?" Sun Erlang felt a little solemn.

"It's a pity that the fake is destined to never become real!"

The puppet with black and gold patterns stretched out its arm.

Energy surged in the puppet's body, and a longbow made of pure golden energy appeared in its fingers.

The bow was bent like a moon, and a silver arrow appeared.

Buzz!

After a short period of accumulation, the silver light was like a dragon, piercing the sky.

The huge energy shattered the space in front, and was about to reveal the truth under the illusory appearance.

At this moment, a pale hand stretched out from nothingness without any warning.

Gently grasped the Sky-Surveying Arrow.

No matter how the silver light of the arrow burst out, it was always firmly grasped and could not move.

In the end, the light was completely annihilated, and it became an ordinary arrow in that hand.

The space pierced by the Sky-Surveying Arrow before was also restored.

The pale arm that blocked the Sky-Surveying Arrow, and countless puppets controlled by Sun Erlang, also gradually became dim and empty.

Sun Erlang snorted coldly.

Mysterious golden energy surged from the puppet's body.

"Puff!"

A pair of arms stretched out from behind the puppet.

Then, another pair grew out from the left side of the torso.

After growing a total of eight pairs of arms, sixteen in total, the puppet stopped moving.

Because the body had many more structures, the overall size of the puppet had almost expanded.

The golden pattern seemed to come alive, flowing on the surface of the body.

Boom!

Like a thunderbolt, eight longbows appeared in the hands of the puppet one after another.

The bowstrings were fully drawn, and the eight sky-seeking arrows pointed in different directions, ready to be launched.

"Break it for me!"

Sun Erlang shouted angrily.

Eight silver dragons roared and roared, and shot out from the central puppet.

The gold and silver competed for glory, even temporarily obscuring the moon phase light transformed by the great revelation in the sky.

It was as if there was only this brute force creature in the world.

Wherever the eight sky-scanning arrows passed, the space was like a broken mirror, exploding layer by layer.

But strangely, the fragments did not continue to fly outward.

Instead, they stopped in the air.

The silver dragon continued to fly forward rapidly, completely smashing everything it passed.

But the places it destroyed seemed to be stuck in time.

The real scene outside the illusion was not really revealed.

What made Sun Erlang's pupils shrink was that the pale arm appeared again.

But this time he did not stop the eight sky-scanning arrows.

Instead, he slowly and quickly picked up the still, illusion fragments one by one, and then put them back in place.

If the pale arm was allowed to continue to recover, the sky-scanning arrow dance that was so powerful that it could seriously injure the eight combined Daos would probably be like a punch on cotton, and would not have any effect.

Sun Erlang would naturally not let the other party succeed.

"Even though it's just a puppet body, it refused to show its face from beginning to end..."

"Are you looking down on me a little too much?"

The puppet's eight pairs of arms moved on its body.

They wriggled and merged, and in the blink of an eye, they became a pair of extremely thick arms that were almost as big as the puppet's body.

The puppet instantly dodged and came in front of the pale arms.

Grab them hard!

However, this seemingly slender arm actually contained unimaginable huge power.

Creaky...

Not only did the huge puppet arm not stop its movement, but it was led by the opponent and forced to continue moving in the direction of the original movement.

The dark gold pattern on the puppet's body has already reached its limit.

Sun Erlang even felt that in this high-intensity power confrontation, the puppet's body had reached the limit of what it could bear.

It was about to collapse in the next moment.

A cold light flashed in Sun Erlang's eyes.

The long-range power support from other dark gold puppets was instantly infused into it.

Bang!

Under the golden light, the puppet's body instantly expanded several times.

The huge force that surged, pulled back the movement of the pale arm.

He was unyielding, and his energy exploded to the extreme, wanting to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.

The idea was good, but when Sun Erlang felt that it was about to be achieved, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Then, he felt...

It was as if another pale, cold arm was placed on the shoulder of the puppet's body.

With a little force, the puppet's previous limit state was broken.

The body staggered and lost balance.

Before he could adjust, Sun Erlang felt that one pale hand after another stretched out from the void.

Pressed on the puppet's body.

The power of each hand did not seem to be very strong.

But it was so firm, united, and pressed on the puppet, like a mountain and a sea.

The puppet was instantly submerged in a pile of white hands and could not move.

Buzz!

A drop of blood left in Sun Erlang's eyes, and he forcibly broke away from the puppet-controlling state.

He had a premonition that if he continued to control the puppet and was pulled into the unknown land by those pale arms, his original body would also be severely injured.

"Longevity Realm..." Sun Erlang had already determined the opponent's strength at this moment.

It was no longer something he could deal with. A trace of unwillingness flashed through his heart, but Sun Erlang did not force it.

"You retreat, leave this to me." Fortunately, at this time, the voice of the craftsman sounded in the puppet's ears.

"This treasure, but I finally succeeded in making it. I can't give it to you..." The craftsman muttered, and his figure immediately appeared beside the dark gold puppet.

The rotating knife light in his hand simply drew a circle on the pale arms that tightly grasped the puppet.

Countless arms were like torn white paper, breaking from the wound.

"Let's go!"

The craftsman patted the dark gold puppet's shoulder, and the puppet gradually shrank back to its normal size.

Then the light flashed, and it teleported away from here.

At the last moment, Sun Erlang discovered that the half-cut pale arms cut off by the craftsman were actually just willow branches.

"Willow tree?"

The craftsman also had this question.

He wanted to take the cut willow branches, but he touched nothing.

While he was stunned, the thousands of pale arms that were originally densely packed had merged into the space again and disappeared.

"You don't even want to show your hands? You don't respect me, the craftsman."

The craftsman didn't have any anger on his face, but he took out a round copper plate from his arms.

On the copper plate, there were several little people in funny poses.

The little people were playing, but after being taken out by the craftsman, they immediately became nervous and uneasy.

Pointing in different directions around.

Without seeing how the craftsman moved, a shadow like a rope flew out from his side.

It disappeared in the air while flying quickly.

After a while, as if it had hit something, the black rope began to sway.

The disc man kept pointing, and the black shadows around the craftsman kept shooting.

Soon, a strange and gloomy black giant net was built with the craftsman as the center.

The little man in the copper plate seemed to have completed his mission, and patted his chest with great relief.

The craftsman stretched out his hand and grabbed one of the little men.

Although the little man was very reluctant, he had no choice. He blew a whistle, and the little man turned into two.

He turned over, and the little man turned into four.

It didn't take long to go from a single villain to an army of villains.

Each villain jumped onto the black rope with a grimace.

Then, amid the faint sound of chants, the villains began to drag the black shadows in front of them.

The huge black net shrank instantly.

The surrounding space trembled slightly, and the recovered fragments exploded again.

Something more is about to be pulled out of the illusory surface.

Qiao Gong squinted his eyes and waited, while muttering: "Even the immortal puppet [Ancestor] can pull it, so what can he do to you?"

A sigh sounded out of nowhere.

There is a faint sound of the piano that seems to come from the horizon.

The little people who were originally very motivated suddenly became weak and started to be lazy one after another.

Qiao Gong showed a vigilant look and looked around.

"Why fight..."

The sad voice, like crying and complaining, kept echoing around Qiao Gong.

Qiao Gong rolled his eyes, then smiled and said: "That's good! Why do we have to fight! Qiao Gong, I'm not good at fighting..."

"Since neither you nor I want to take action, why not sit down and have a good talk."

In order to prove his sincerity, Qiao Gong also directly put away the disc.

The little people ended their work with joy, while Qiao Gong looked around with a smile: "I am in the world of heaven, Qiao Gong. Do you dare to ask me your name?"

The other party is indeed a strong person in the Immortality Realm.

However, during the brief battle between Qiao Gong and him, he did not notice any trace of the reversed principle of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Therefore, it was judged that the identity of the other party was the same as him, and he was a survivor from other destroyed worlds of cultivating immortals.

After a moment of silence, the gentle and solemn voice sounded again: "I, I can't remember."

"It's just that I don't want to see a fight. There is no malice."

Following the other party's words, Qiao Gong saw the scene in Luo Yantian City where all the monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Holy Dynasty fell into a deep sleep. Life is worry-free.

Qiao Gong was relieved inside.

Although they are not afraid, it is better for those who are in the Immortality Realm to try not to become enemies.

"Actually, we don't have any ill intentions..."

Qiao Gong smiled and started chatting with the other party.

Sun Erlang, who received the message from Qiao Gong, sighed slightly in his heart: "The difference between the Immortal Realm and He Dao is indeed as big as the world."

"However, if all the dark gold puppets were present at that time..."

"It may not be impossible to fight."

…

If we say that the defeat of the Holy Dynasty army in Luo Yanzhou was just an accident.

Then what they encountered in Tianling Province proved to one degree or another that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance did indeed have some background.

After the Holy Dynasty army spent a lot of effort to capture Tianling City, they suddenly discovered that it was actually an empty city.

The important monks in the city have already completed their transfer.

Only some monks with no background were left, relying on mechanisms and magic weapons to resist.

The soldiers of the Holy Dynasty quickly realized that this might be a trap, but before they could retreat, the entire Tianling City exploded.

The huge floating city, accompanied by nearly ten thousand monks from both sides, was instantly wiped out.

In the sky, visions of falling all erupted.

Many strange scenes are mixed and distorted. It's hard to tell the difference at all.

Tianlingzhou is a hidden valley.

"Thanks to Brother Sun's reminder, our Tianling Prefecture can turn disaster into good fortune." Song Mansheng, the Lord of Tianling City, stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Sun Liancheng's eyes were still fixed on the huge fire in the distant sky: "It still depends on the wisdom of the city lord. If the city lord hadn't been so decisive, even if I made suggestions, the effect of killing the enemy would never be so good."

Other monks in the valley agreed: "Yes, according to the movies we stayed in the city, at least more than 10,000 gangsters were killed in the explosion."

"Haha, fellow Taoist, you got it wrong. It's obviously 20,000!"

"...Um, yes, yes. I am just confused! Twenty thousand, indeed twenty thousand! There are video records to prove it!"

Everyone is in agreement but does not preach.

"Speaking of which, what is the origin of this group of people? They attacked without warning. The most important thing is that they can even affect the teleportation array and Tianxuan Mirror." Sun Liancheng interrupted everyone's celebration.

"Probably, not the Wu Lao Hui. I have fought against monks from the Wu Lao Hui, and the auras I sensed from them are completely different."

"No matter what his origins are, as long as the Central Committee of the Immortal Alliance takes action, they will all die. Now it is just a moment of rampage!"

"Sir Song, do we want to take advantage of the chaos to attack and make more achievements?"

Someone among the monks in the valley suggested.

Song Mansheng pondered for a moment and did not make a decision. Instead, he looked at Sun Liancheng aside.

Sun Liancheng narrowed his eyes and did not say anything for a long time.

After everyone waited for a long time, Sun Liancheng shook his head: "The situation is unclear and it is difficult for my subordinates to judge."

Song Mansheng nodded when he heard this: "In that case, let's wait. The situation is unclear and it is difficult to act rashly."

Everyone in the valley naturally agreed.

However, Song Mansheng and Sun Liancheng avoided the crowd and had a conversation alone.

"Brother Sun didn't tell the truth just now." Song Mansheng said solemnly.

Sun Liancheng smiled bitterly: "I really don't dare to say it to my face. Otherwise, I'm afraid of shaking everyone's military morale!"

Song Mansheng looked stern: "Is it so serious?"

Sun Liancheng said: "Yes. Your Excellency also knows that my ability to predict the thieves' attack this time was all due to the fortune of our Sun family. That day, I was chatting with my nephew, but suddenly I felt that the family's fortune was blowing in the wind. The candle is shaky..."

"In extreme panic, it took a lot of effort to determine that the cause was not from the Immortal Alliance, but from outside. I originally thought that it would be a surprise attack by the Five Elders, but I didn't expect it to be a group of unknown bandits."

"During this period, the family's future fortune has been wavering. Sometimes it is a sign of wealth and prosperity, and sometimes it is a sign of the severance of blood. It is really frightening..." Sun Liancheng sighed.

Song Mansheng frowned when he heard this.

Sun Liancheng advised: "No matter what, with the merit of bombing the city, your contribution will definitely not be missed when the merits are rewarded in the future. The merits are enough, so why take risks? I think the other party's support will arrive soon, and the combat effectiveness of the bandits is not low. Instead of taking risks, it is better to hide in the valley here."

"With the natural formation covering it, the other party should not be able to detect it..."

Song Mansheng was finally convinced and suppressed the idea that was about to move in his heart.

Sun Liancheng's judgment seemed to be very correct.

Just half a day later, Song Mansheng saw a large number of bandits swarming in.

They looked angry and carefully searched every corner of Tianlingzhou.

When they flew over the valley together, everyone in the valley had a cardiac arrest.

Fortunately, the fortune was on their side after all, and they were not exposed.

"How many are here? Aren't we stirring up a hornet's nest?"

"Why do we only see the other side's reinforcements? Where are our people from the Ten Thousand Immortals League!"

In the valley, everyone was nervous, looking up at the sky and whispering from time to time.

There was no more ease and carefreeness before.

Sun Qi of the Sun family came to Sun Liancheng quietly.

"Uncle, something is wrong."

Sun Liancheng was stunned, and then looked around very vigilantly. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he communicated with Sun Qi through voice transmission.

"The swaying family fortune began to stabilize on one side. If I continue to stay here, I'm afraid there is only one way to go."

Sun Liancheng's heart trembled.

Sun Liancheng still believed in his nephew's words.

It was because of his miraculous premonition that he set up an ambush, detonated Tiancheng, and eliminated a large number of bandits.

In the universe, branches and leaves spread out, and people scatter and the family declines.

And the reverse evolution of the universe that Sun Qi practiced can reverse this trend and make the family fortune more concentrated.

The price is that the more prosperous the family is, the more the accumulated power of decline will be concentrated on the practitioners of the skills.

Every level of breaking is as difficult as ascending to heaven. It can only be broken by a natural talent.

Sun Qi is such a genius.

"We will move immediately." Sun Liancheng was very decisive and made a decision directly.

"Now everyone is watching, how can we leave. There are so many of us in the Sun family." Sun Qi was a little uneasy.

"I have been prepared." Sun Liancheng said very confidently.

In the valley, the Sun family gathered quietly.

However, in the eyes of everyone, they did not leave. Still stayed where they were, accompanying them to talk.

"This [Golden Cicada Escape] secret treasure is a treasure I got when I was young. I have never been willing to use it, but now it is time to take it out." Sun Liancheng sighed.

The Sun family, without anyone noticing, had quietly left through a secret passage in the valley that only Sun Liancheng knew.

"Hurry, the secret treasure will not cover up the aura for long. Hide in another place." Sun Liancheng urged.

Just as they were evacuating, several white lights streaked across the sky, coming from afar.

The target was the same, which was the valley where they had been hiding not long ago.

Boom boom boom!

The white light hit the target, and unimaginable terrifying energy erupted from the valley.

The earth roared, and the shock wave swept across.

The fleeing Sun family was blown to the ground.

Fortunately, the secret treasure's concealment function was still effective, so they were not exposed.

Sun Liancheng and Sun Qi looked at the valley that had turned into a circular void with horror, their bodies stiff, and their minds blank.

"Hedao offensive! The explosion just now was definitely as powerful as a Hedao master's full-strength attack!"

"Is that... an arrow?"

Just when Sun Liancheng was dumbfounded, he was shocked to find that several more white arrows were whizzing through the sky.

He subconsciously shrank his head, and after finding that the arrows were not coming towards him, he hurriedly led the Sun family to the next planned hiding place.

"No, the entire Tianlingzhou is no longer safe. It is not advisable to stay for long, we have to find another place to take refuge."

Halfway through the journey, Sun Liancheng suddenly had a blessing and temporarily changed his route.

He fled quickly towards Shantengzhou, which borders Tianlingzhou.

When he was about to reach the white fog barrier at the border, the ground of Tianlingzhou suddenly shook violently.

And then, a terrifying scene that the Sun family would never forget happened.

In the sky, five rings were linked to each other, turning from virtual to real, and descending into the world.

From the five rings, countless tentacles stretched out, stretching towards Tianlingzhou below.

And one of them was flying towards the Sun family.

"Not good!" Sun Qi's face changed drastically, and he shouted hurriedly.

Sun Liancheng had already taken the lead.

He no longer cared about his family.

Only one person turned into a blood light and flew quickly towards the white mist barrier not far away.

But this escape technique that used the soul burning method was actually getting slower and slower at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was like there were countless tiny tentacles in the air, dragging and obstructing.

The blood light dissipated, and Sun Liancheng showed his true form.

He even seemed to have lost the ability to fly, and fell heavily from the sky.

The black wriggling tentacles in the sky quickly locked him.

They suddenly inserted into Sun Liancheng's body.

Sun Liancheng panicked and wanted to cast a spell to resist, but the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to solidify and did not listen to the command at all.

He could not resist at all, and the black tentacles quickly pierced Sun Liancheng.

The Sun family screamed, and they were also caught by the tentacles that differentiated in the air.

The wailing only lasted for a while, and Sun Liancheng's body was assimilated into the same black tentacles.

There was not even a sign of falling in the sky.

Sun Liancheng seemed not to be dead, but just turned into the black tentacles.

The Sun family members were captured one by one, but Sun Qi's heart was cold.

He did not dare to move.

Yes, in the entire Sun family, only Sun Qi survived.

Because at the moment when he was locked by those terrifying tentacles, Sun Qi felt a faint feeling in his heart.

Among the thousands of dead ends, he found the only shining possible way to survive.

So he did not hesitate at all and directly used the "Hua Gong Pian" of the [Taishang Yuanshi Zhenjing] to disperse his cultivation.

And expelled all the spiritual power stored in his body.

Without any reservation, he became a mortal completely.

A black tentacle as thick as an arm slowly floated in front of Sun Qi.

If it was spiritual, it would circle around Sun Qi.

Getting so close, Sun Qi could see clearly that these black tentacles were composed of countless densely packed black insects.

Not even daring to breathe, Sun Qi was stiff all over.

Fortunately, after judging that Sun Qi was a pure mortal without cultivation, the black tentacles let him go.

With the entire Sun family, which had also turned into black flying insects, they left with a whistle.

Sun Qi still maintained his original stiff posture and dared not move.

It was not until half a day later that he collapsed and fell to the ground.

"What on earth is this..."

His mind was full of thoughts, and it took a long time for him to cheer up a little.

Looking at the white fog barrier not far away and the five rings that had gradually disappeared in the sky.

Sun Qi gritted his teeth and started practicing again.

Not long after closing his eyes to practice, Sun Qi opened his eyes again.

He keenly noticed that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth...

was different from before.
