Chapter 1344 Li Fan's Self-Defense
The elders of Xianzhou are not as young as they look.
For thousands of years, they have repeatedly used the ancient character formula to trace back to themselves. Rejuvenate and maintain youth. But tracing back cannot be equated with immortality.
Aging is still quietly accumulating in them.
Now, Lu Yuzhi and others are attacked by the death energy of Master Yin, and the aging accumulated in the past years has also violently erupted.
The result is that the effect of this death character formula is far better than expected.
The three people in Xianzhou have white hair, which is instantly stained by frost. Deep wrinkles quickly occupied their faces.
The breath called decay emerged in their bodies.
"Gu!" Lu Yuzhi, who woke up, forced himself to calm down, and with a slightly trembling hand, quickly wrote an ancient character in the void.
The target is not the unknown enemy, but themselves!
Under the power of "Gu", the rapid aging of the body has been alleviated to a certain extent.
But it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
The one that exudes the power of retrospection is not the real seal script of the True Immortal. It is just a poor imitation. The extent of retrospection of the past state is far less than the speed of aging.
And the death storm raging around is still getting more and more intense. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the four people present will soon turn into white bones!
Under the influence of the double power of the death storm and the ancient seal script, Li Fan and Xu Gongding also woke up suddenly.
They looked terrified and at a loss.
"Go!"
Lu Yuzhi struggled to support and shouted at Li Fan.
Li Fan's long hair, which was originally black and white, has completely turned white. However, he looked at the direction where the seal sphere disappeared and struggled a little: "But the gray chess piece..."
"If my life is gone, then everything is gone!" Lu Yuzhi also had reluctance in his eyes, but he still roared.
"Ah ah!"
In the long howl like venting, the phantom of the wooden sword was unsheathed, temporarily alleviating the attack of death.
The sword flashed, leading the four people to escape from the terrifying deathly aura.
The figures of the four people disappeared into the sky, and Baihua and Yin Shangren slowly revealed their true faces.
It was not an easy task for Yin Shangren, who had just absorbed the Yin-Yang Pearl, to suddenly control the outbreak of such a large-scale death storm.
As if out of control, the vortex in his black and white eyes turned faster and faster.
Yin Shangren had to close his eyes to calm down.
And Baihua, according to Li Fan's instructions, shot out golden light and sealed the sphere he had just snatched.
"I don't know who the three people who just went with the Saint Master are?"
"The characters they typed seem to be exactly the same as the remaining true immortal power in the star sea..."
"But speaking of it, the Saint Master's acting skills are really good. If he hadn't actively sent a message for us to cooperate, I would have been fooled by him." Baihua's expression was subtle, and the sealing array in his hand kept moving.
This sealing array is extremely exquisite, but with Li Fan's guidance, Baihua could barely complete the arrangement.
…
Outside the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm.
The group of people on the Xianzhou who escaped from the world still looked frightened.
Even though they escaped from the range of the deadly storm, there was still a little dead air in their bodies. It was constantly reducing their lifespan.
"Go back to the Xianzhou first." Lu Yuzhi had become extremely decadent at this moment, like an old man in his seventies or eighties, and seemed to be about to reach the end of his life. Even these four short words were said by him with all his strength.
The performance of the other people was not much better.
Especially Li Fan, who could only shake his head slightly, indicating that he was extremely weak and had no energy to use the magic of escape.
Among the four people, only Nangong Lie was in a relatively better state.
He helped everyone, flying towards the Xianzhou while sending out a distress signal.
After a cup of tea, Zhong Daogong and seven Xianzhou elders hurried over. In order to prevent it from being a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, they did not go out in full force even if it was related to the life and death of the four elders.
Zhong Daogong and his supporters looked at the four people who were dying and shrouded in the aura of decay and decay with serious expressions.
However, they also knew that saving lives was important, so they did not immediately ask the reason for the incident, but took the four people back for treatment first.
Through the efforts of the original [ancient] characters and many life-extending magic weapons, the few people finally got rid of the crisis temporarily.
Three days later.
Li Fan stood in the courtyard, looking a little dazed.
"Only about ten years of life left."
"Half of it was lost after going out!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuzhi smiled bitterly: "My situation is similar to yours. Less than half a hundred years..."
Nangong Lie and Xu Gongding's faces were also extremely ugly.
Such a big thing happened, the Elders' Council must investigate it carefully. They told their own experiences truthfully.
Zhong Daogong comforted them well and tried to extend their lives in various ways.
But all had little effect.
"Hmph!"
The courtyard was quiet for a while, and suddenly Nangong Lie slammed the stone table in the courtyard: "We suffered a great disaster, and even the four gray chess pieces were robbed..."
"It's a great shame! He Zhong Daogong should lead the crowd immediately, not to mention seeking justice. At least find out the details of the murderer."
"Now it's good, it's been so long, and he didn't make any moves. When asked, he said something nice. What do you need to think about it in the long run... Bah! I think they are scared after seeing the end of us!" Nangong Lie vented his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Lu Yuzhi frowned: "But what Elder Zhong said is right. The death energy storm is indeed too strange and terrifying. Even if I come back to my senses and think about it these days, I still haven't found a way to confront it head-on. method. The four of us suffered heavy losses, and Xianzhou cannot suffer another similar blow in a short period of time."
Li Fan also nodded in agreement: "Although it is helpless, it is indeed the truth. This death energy appeared too suddenly, and it is obviously coming towards the gray chess pieces in our hands."
"Don't forget, there is still one in the immortal boat. Maybe, the unknown enemy will hit the door at any time..."
Li Fan's words instantly silenced the people present.
Xianzhou has always put the overall situation first.
They can still distinguish between temporary grudges and the overall interests of Xianzhou.
"The enemy is coming fiercely!" Lu Yuzhi sighed, his eyes full of worry.
In order to deal with this unknown enemy, Xianzhou soon held a joint meeting of all elders.
Li Fan, as a witness to the incident, also attended.
Zhong Daogong first made a concluding speech: "The opponent must be coming for the gray chess piece. Now, the gray chess piece in our hands has lost some of its sensitivity to other chess pieces. It should be the one that was kidnapped by the opponent. Four."
"However, there are two doubts."
"First, how did they clearly locate the location of Elder Lu Yuzhi and his party."
"Secondly, what method did they use to block the induction of our gray chess pieces?"
"As for the death energy storm used to attack..."
"After searching for Xianzhou records, we have found some possibilities."
Zhong Daogong's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing Daosheng cough lightly, he explained: "Death and vitality are in opposition and dependent on each other. After the great destruction, most areas fell into the darkest star sea of silence. Theoretically, it is impossible for such a huge death to exist. Angry."
"So we speculate that the source of this death energy should be a certain world of immortal cultivation."
"And if they can use the expendable death energy as an offensive weapon, the amount of death energy they have in their hands... is absolutely unimaginable." Seeing Daosheng's tone was a little heavy.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xianzhou quickly raised his doubts.
"The star sea catastrophe, all realms have been destroyed for a long time. Where can they collect so much death energy?"
"It's completely unreasonable!"
Zhong Daogong sighed: "This is the crux of the problem. I'm afraid these death auras have been accumulated by the opponent since ancient times, before the Star Sea suffered disasters."
"The other party is probably like us, a civilization that has survived from ancient times to the present day."
"Being able to predict and avoid the attack of the True Immortal's seal characters; knowing the gray chess pieces created by the True Immortal very well, caught us off guard. From the beginning to the end, the opponent did not show up..."
"Judging from their various performances, this unknown civilization is only stronger than our fairy boat."
After Zhong Daogong finished speaking, the meeting fell into a strange silence.
All the elders frowned, not knowing what they were thinking.
Li Fan broke the silence and sighed: "I didn't expect that in this seemingly dead sea of stars, besides Xianzhou and Daqi, there are other brilliant civilizations."
The elders of Xianzhou all focused their eyes on Li Fan.
Seeing Dao Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, is it possible that this unknown enemy attacking you is your hometown Daqi?"
This is also a question that all the elders in Xianzhou have in mind.
Seeing Daosheng ask the question at this moment, everyone stared at Li Fan, wanting to hear his answer.
"Da Qi?" Li Fan obviously didn't expect to ask Dao Sheng like this.
"How could..." He subconsciously denied it at first.
But soon, he seemed to realize something, frowned and fell into deep thought, and his words suddenly stopped.
After a long time, Li Fan spoke again and said softly: "First of all, one thing I can be sure of is that there is absolutely no surveillance method of Daqi on me. I will never be an internal agent of Daqi..."
"I can't provide any evidence. But you have been with me for such a long time, so you must know what I am like."
Li Fan paused and said proudly: "To tell you something that you won't listen to, if I am really a Daqi spy and my target is the gray chess piece. When I was helping to rebuild the immortal boat protective array, I was alone in the sea of stars. With the escape technique, I can just steal it and escape."
"No need to go to such great lengths."
The meeting was quieter.
No one refuted. The vast majority of people were silent about Li Fan's statement, but there were still a few people who looked at Li Fan with a little suspicion.
Li Fan's self-defense continued: "Besides, when we were attacked, we were planning to continue to the depths of the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm to collect more. If I was really an inside agent, why didn't I wait to find more before notifying us to take action? Catch them all in one fell swoop?”
"After it's done, why should I return to the Immortal Boat?"
"At that time, the other three immortal boat elders were all extremely weak. Without the help of my escape skills, I am afraid they would have died long ago. Wouldn't it be good to let them disappear from the world and do things without anyone noticing? Why spend so much money? Zhou Zhang?”
Li Fanyue said, anger seemed to be born in his heart.
He snorted coldly: "If it weren't for it, at the end of my life, when I came into contact with Xianzhou, I already regarded Xianzhou as my destination, and I wouldn't talk so much nonsense to you."
"If I want to leave, who among you can stop me?"
None of the Xianzhou elders could refute.
After all, the phantom of the wooden sword could ignore almost all the restrictive forces, which was incredible.
Zhong Daogong hurried out to smooth things over. He smiled and comforted: "Daoyou Li, don't be so excited. We absolutely believe in you, but we know very little about the Daqi behind you. Naturally, we will have doubts."
Li Fan's anger subsided a little.
He thought for a moment and answered carefully: "There are many factions within Daqi. I am only familiar with the research of my master's lineage..."
"However, I have never heard of anyone in Daqi with such a huge amount of death energy."
"Besides, my face is also a bit famous in Daqi. If the other party is really from Daqi, he will never dare to attack me! Otherwise, even if I die, my master will not forgive him!" Li Fan said with great confidence.
Zhong Daogong nodded slightly and stopped asking for the time being.
"I have made some guesses about the whole process of the attack. Let's talk about it and discuss it with everyone."
"The gray chess piece has been lying peacefully in the secret storage of the fairy boat for so many years, and nothing has ever happened. But now it is suddenly attacked..."
"After excluding the possibility of someone deliberately leaking the secret, perhaps too many chess pieces were gathered at once, which attracted attention."
Zhong Daogong said loudly: "This unknown civilization may have been looking for traces of gray chess pieces for so many years. But without gray chess pieces in hand, it cannot search through induction."
"But in the process of our collection, the gathering of numbers allowed them to find traces. Therefore, it was exposed to the attack..."
The elders present all fell into a deep voice after hearing this.
It sounds a bit bizarre, but it is the only reasonable explanation at present.
"If my guess is true, then what we need to worry about now is the attack on the fairy boat by this unknown civilization." Zhong Daogong's tone suddenly changed.
"The gray chess pieces can sense each other. The one that turned into the keratin armor on the outside of the immortal boat can undoubtedly always provide the opponent with the approximate location of the immortal boat..."
"This is obviously unacceptable to us."
The elders of the immortal boat were all pale at this moment.
"The most urgent task is to solve this matter first."
"Either, peel off the keratin armor and separate it from the immortal boat. Simply abandon the gray chess piece."
"Or, find a way to block the induction between the gray chess pieces." Zhong Daogong concluded.
The elders of the immortal boat looked at each other.
For a while, they fell into a debate.
