Chapter 985: The Battle to Protect the Sect (Part 3)
At this time, a group of three-color clouds flew from a distance, and you could vaguely see shadows on it, as if countless immortal cultivators had gathered.
When the three old men in green shirts saw this, their faces showed solemn expressions, because they did not know whether the people coming were enemies or friends.
"Huh?" A surprised voice came from the sky, and a dark green light flashed a few feet away from the black-robed woman, revealing a handsome young man in his twenties, who was Xiao Lin.
"Brother Xiao?"
"Xia Mo?"
Xiao Lin had a look of astonishment on his face. He didn't expect to meet Xia Mo here. After Xia Mo disappeared that year, he had always suspected that he was abducted by ghosts.
Looking at his clothes now, his guess has been confirmed in nine cases out of ten.
"Witch, although you killed two of your accomplices, you killed hundreds of disciples of our Qingshan Villa. How can you not avenge this and take your life?" The silver-haired woman next to the old man in green had an angry look on her face. Tan opened his mouth and shot out a fiery red flying sword, slashing towards the black-robed woman in the air.
"Xuanji, no." The old man in green shirt had already made some assumptions in his mind after seeing Xiao Lin. He was shocked when he saw his junior sister suddenly attacking, but it was obviously too late to stop him.
Xia Mo was in a trance at the moment, looking at Xiao Lin, tears dripping down, and she didn't feel that the flying sword was coming.
"Hmph." Xiao Lin snorted coldly and came to Xia Mo in a flash. He stretched out his hand to grab the red flying sword. The flying sword shrank rapidly under the light of his palm. It quickly reduced to the size of three inches, trembling like a spiritual snake.
But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't escape Xiao Lin's grasp.
"Mo Xiujie pays homage to the chief elder. Xuanji is rude. Please forgive me for the chief elder." The old man in blue shirt had already guessed Xiao Lin's identity and hurriedly made a gesture to the two people beside him, then bowed and saluted.
Only then did the other two people suddenly realize that the young man in front of them turned out to be the chief guest elder who was now at the peak of his power. Xiao Lin's deeds in the Eastern Territory had already spread throughout the Tiangu Continent, and some of Xiao Lin's past had also been revealed, at least. Most of the immortal cultivators above Nascent Soul are aware of all the things Xiao Lin has done that shocked the world of immortality.
The Yinchai woman was even more uneasy. She understood that the young man in front of her was already recognized as the greatest monk, and he might be able to kill her with just a few moves.
"Master Mo, there is no need to be polite. Fellow Taoist Xuanji, this is your magic weapon. Please take it back." Xiao Lin smiled slightly, and as soon as he withdrew the magic power in his hand, the red flying sword immediately returned to the Yinchai woman with great spirituality. Accepted by him.
"Xuanji is rude, please forgive me, Chief Elder."
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist Xuanji." After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he turned to look at Xia Mo.
At this moment, Xia Mo had stopped crying, and her face was pale and bloodless.
"Mo'er, what's going on? Why did you come to attack Qingshan Villa?" Xiao Lin walked up to Xia Mo and asked softly.
When Xia Mo heard this, the tears that had stopped flowed down again, and then she told the story.
It turned out that after Xia Mo was injured by Lu Dongxuan that day, he was actually rescued by the third elder of the Tianzong of Beiming Youdu, the ghost. The reason why the ghost rescued Xia Mo was not out of good intentions, but because he valued his heavenly spiritual roots. qualifications and their special physique.
After returning to the sect with Xia Mo, Youhun taught Xia Mo the Youluo Soul-Destroying Palm technique in the Netherworld Dafa and asked him to practice hard.
But Xia Mo didn't know that the skills given to her by the ghosts actually contained magical tricks, which made her unknowingly controlled by the ghosts during her training.
Although her cultivation realm has advanced rapidly, and even the ghost is surprised and pleasantly surprised, but she gradually lost herself, only following the ghost's destiny.
This time she was sent to kill the three hundred and sixty villa masters and their disciples, but when she passed by the Red Stone Valley, she entered the Red Stone Valley unknowingly. When she saw the tombstone of her grandfather, Old Man Xia, , unexpectedly woke up inexplicably.
Memories from the past also flooded out, allowing her to return to her true nature, and that was how everything happened later.
After Xiao Lin heard this, he also blamed himself. He knew that Xia Mo was abducted by ghosts, but in his opinion, Xia Mo's physique was suitable for practicing ghosts, so he originally thought that this was her Opportunity.
She didn't expect that she would be taken advantage of and have her mind controlled. Fortunately, her passing through the Red Stone Valley awakened her memory, otherwise she would have been regarded as a knife in the hand by the ghost.
At the same time, Xiao Lin thought of Lu Dongxuan. He had only practiced rudimentary ghost skills for Xia Mo, but he had to destroy both his body and soul. The initiator of all this was Lu Dongxuan.
"Master Mo, please come with me to the Haoyang Mountains to deal with the Demonic Dao and the Ghost Sect. Mo'er, why don't you follow me first and make arrangements after the enemy is retreated."
After hearing this, Xia Mo pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Lin and said: "Brother Xiao, my grandfather is dead. In the past, Mo'er's mind was controlled and he could not come to visit. Now, although his old man is dead, Mo'er I still want to observe mourning in front of my grandfather’s grave for three years.”
Xiao Lin heard this and knew that although Xia Mo wanted to keep his filial piety for his grandfather, the most important thing was that he did not want to harm Xiao Lin because of his identity.
Of course, Xia Mo didn't know that Xiao Lin now held the Divine Transformation Order and was already the visible controller of the Emperor Haoran Tianzong. Naturally, some rumors were insignificant.
But Xiao Lin didn't want to offend Xia Mo's filial piety.
Xiao Lin nodded, and after comforting himself, he led Dean Mo, the 40-year-old man, and the silver-haired woman to control the escape light and chase after the original three-colored cloud.
After watching Xiao Lin and others leave, Xia Mo shook slightly and turned into a ball of gray smoke, floating towards the Red Stone Valley.
......
"What? Thirteen of the soul lamps left by the 36 Mountain Sect's leader in the sect have been extinguished, and more than 120 soul lamps in the 360 courtyards have been extinguished?" Yu Lin Zhantian said loudly with anger in his stunned expression.
The monk surnamed Song beside him was also full of anger: "I learned from several mountain sect masters who fled back to the sect that the three demon kings of the Eternal Forest actually led hundreds of transformed demon cultivators to attack the thirty-six mountain sects and three hundred and sixty courtyards separately, which led to heavy casualties among the monks of our sect."
"The demons of the Eternal Forest have also mixed in? I didn't expect that the Nine Infants Blood Refining Saint Sect and the North Ming Youdu Tian Sect could actually persuade the three demon kings of the Eternal Forest. It seems that the three demon kings are also desperate this time and want to kill us."
The devil flames are still raging in the sky. The attacks of the Demon Dao and the Ghost Sect have lasted for several months.
The main reason why the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong did not fall as quickly as the Jitian Holy Land was that they had made preparations in advance. Moreover, when the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong attacked the Jitian Holy Land, they gathered many Yuanying cultivators from the East Territory and the South Territory, exactly 700 to 800 people, and almost exhausted all their immortal strength to break the mountain protection formation of the Jitian Holy Land in one fell swoop.
At present, neither the Nine Infants Blood Refining Holy Sect nor the Beiming Youdu Tianzong has such strength and foundation, so the current stalemate has formed.
Yu Lin Zhantian originally hoped that the opponent's replenishment would be insufficient. After all, in such an immortal war, the spiritual stones consumed every day are an astronomical number. Even the two major Tianzongs will feel exhausted after a long time.
But the result disappointed Yu Lin Zhantian. The attacks of the Demon Dao and the Ghost Sect have lasted for several months, but there is no sense of decline. If the attack continues, the spiritual stones stored in the sect may not be able to supply.
Once there is a shortage of spirit stones, the mountain protection formation will be broken in an instant. By then, the defeat will be like a mountain. It will be extremely difficult for the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong to recover from the decline.
Yu Lin Zhantian frowned. The whereabouts of the current leader Long Ci was unknown, and Uncle Fu had not returned yet.
If this continues, the future of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong is worrying. Thinking of this, Yu Lin Zhantian couldn't help but feel irritated. The state of mind of hundreds of years of cultivation actually fluctuated at this moment.
Above the layers of demonic clouds, Xu Huanniang sat cross-legged in the air, with nine groups of blood light flashing behind her.
These nine groups of blood light twisted, and from time to time flashed the faces of children with various expressions, sometimes frightened, sometimes vicious, sometimes irritable, sometimes evil smile, and sometimes dignified.
Various expressions kept changing, and every few breaths, there would be bursts of laughter that made people's scalps numb.
Not far from him, Ming Jiuquan looked at Xu Huanniang, with a complex expression in his green eyes.
The nine balls of blood behind Xu Huanniang were actually Xu Huanniang's biological children, and they were also his flesh and blood.
Looking at the various strange expressions that appeared from time to time in the nine balls of blood, Ming Jiuquan's thoughts suddenly went back to hundreds of years ago.
At that time, Ming Jiuquan had just formed a pill, and Xu Huanniang was just a female cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and was also his dual cultivation partner.
Originally, according to the physique of cultivators, it was difficult to get pregnant and have children, but in the twenty years after Xu Huanniang married him, she gave birth to eight sons and one daughter for him, and these eight sons and one daughter actually all had spiritual roots, among which all eight sons were true spiritual roots, and the girl was even more amazing.
This made Ming Jiuquan ecstatic. Xu Huanniang gave birth to a small sect for him. As long as he was well trained, he would surely carry forward his Ming family in the future.
Since Ming Jiuquan himself practiced the ghost way, he specially searched and bought many immortal ways for his children to practice, and planned to let them join the immortal sect after they practiced to the seventh or eighth level of Qi training, and practice the immortal ways.
Ming Jiuquan's path to immortal cultivation was a coincidence. After practicing the ghost way, he also brought many physical changes. In the ancient Tiangu Continent where immortals are popular, ghost cultivation is not welcome.
So Ming Jiuquan wanted his children to join the immortal sect, and Xu Huanniang was a disciple of a sect called Yangxin Sect.
This Yangxin Sect was not in the mainstream among the immortal sects. There were only a few hundred people in the entire sect from top to bottom, and the sect master was just an immortal cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
However, Ming Jiuquan was already an outer sect elder of the Beiming Youdu Tianzong at that time, so it was not a problem for him to find a few top immortal cultivation techniques.
Originally, everything went well as he had imagined. If nothing unexpected happened, his children would soon be able to join the immortal sect. In order to allow his children to join the immortal sect smoothly, Ming Jiuquan was always elusive and concealed his whereabouts when he went to visit Xu Huanniang. Even his children did not know that their father was a ghost cultivator.
Unfortunately, things did not go as Ming Jiuyou imagined.
Once, when Xu Huanniang was practicing on the cliff, the nine children were beside her. Some were meditating and practicing, and the youngest was naturally playing.
Unexpectedly, they were seen by the passing Wandu Demon Lord. At that time, the Wandu Demon Lord was already a great cultivator and the leader of the Jiuying Blood Refining Holy Sect.
When he saw Xu Huanniang and a group of children, he was overjoyed when he learned that these children all had spiritual roots.
The sect-protecting technique of the Nine Infants Blood Refining Saint Sect was actually the Nine Sons Mother Heavenly Demon Technique. However, the cultivation conditions of this technique were very harsh. It was basically impossible for a cultivator to give birth to nine children who all had spiritual roots.
You should know that cultivators refine essence into qi, gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and use it to transform themselves and increase their lifespan. This was originally an act against the rules of heaven and earth. Therefore, even if cultivators form a Taoist couple, it is extremely difficult to have a child. Of course, the probability of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage giving birth to children is still very high, but the probability of cultivators giving birth to children drops sharply after the foundation is established.
It is still possible to have one or two children, but it is extremely rare for a cultivator like Xu Huanniang to give birth to nine children in a row in the late stage of foundation building.
This made the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Lord ecstatic. He rolled up a demon cloud without saying anything and took Xu Huanniang back to the Nine Infants Blood Refining Holy Sect.
After being taken back to the Nine Infants Blood Refining Holy Sect, Xu Huanniang refused to obey at first, so she endured all kinds of cruel tortures from the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Lord. Xu Huanniang's will was also extremely firm. Although she was tortured by the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Lord in every way, she also swore to die and refused to obey, which made the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Lord a headache.
In desperation, the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Lord began to torture Xu Huanniang's nine children. The nine children of the Nine Sons Mother Heavenly Demon Art need to be at the foundation-building stage at least before they can be refined into demons.
And Xu Huanniang's eldest child is only at the eighth level of Qi training, but this is not a problem for the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon Lord.
After he imprisoned Xu Huanniang, he began to personally teach the nine children the immortal way of cultivation. The immortal way of cultivation that he taught would be regarded as a sacred scripture even in some second- and third-rate immortal sects.
Moreover, he had no shortage of these low-level cultivation resources, so under his teaching, the cultivation of several children immediately made rapid progress.
Not long after the eldest brother cultivated to the foundation-building stage, he suddenly disappeared without a trace for no apparent reason.
More than a year later, the second brother also broke through to the foundation-building stage, and just like the eldest brother, he suddenly disappeared not long after.
This naturally aroused suspicion and dissatisfaction among the other children, but the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Lord did explain that after breaking through to the foundation-building stage, one needs to practice in seclusion to consolidate the realm. After all, the children were not very old, so they did not have too many doubts.
In fact, after breaking through the foundation-building stage, the eldest and the second brother were refined into the Nine Sons Demon by the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Lord.
