Chapter 1635: Returning with Failure
Let’s say Wan Zongsheng was determined to die, and he was above the Wanfa Lingtai.
Of the three Lingjie Tianzu sent by Lingzhuzi, only one escaped due to the perfect cooperation between Wan Zongsheng and Xiao Mian. If this person had not seen the opportunity quickly and left the battle group in advance when his companions were in trouble, Wan Zongsheng would not mind leaving him behind.
Unfortunately, he was unable to do it...
There is a saying that old age is still strong.
But there is also a saying that old age is frail.
Wan Zongsheng is old. If it were not for the various longevity secret medicines secretly refined by the Bai family and the immortal water presented by Xiao Mian, Wan Zongsheng would probably have died long ago.
He is very old and will soon die.
Moreover, the death of Kong Konger ten years ago and the death of Jiu Jianxian ten years later made Wan Zongsheng exhausted, and he no longer had a trace of luck.
In today’s battle, no matter whether Wanzong City is destroyed or established, whether it survives or dies, he, Wan Zongsheng, will not be able to escape death. The only difference is how many people he can kill!
Now it seems that I am afraid that I can't kill him...
Thinking of this, while the spiritual cultivation offensive slowed down, Wan Zongsheng's slightly turbid eyes swept over Nanzhimen, Xiao Mian and others.
The scholar is very good!
He is upright and self-reliant. If he can go further, he can protect Nanyue. Unfortunately, he is too upright and too soft-hearted.
Qingqiuzi is from the fox clan after all. Even if he ranks at the top in the future, he is a demon lord rather than a heavenly lord. Humans and demons are on different paths, and they must be guarded against.
The ancestor of the Bai family had already died in the previous confrontation.
Although the Dragon Subduing Venerable and the Tiger Subduing Venerable of the Tianlong Temple were lucky enough to survive, they were both severely injured, shaking their foundations and making it difficult for them to go further.
Although Dan Chenzi successfully switched to the ghost path, his combat power was similar to that in his life. If he wants to go further, he will have to endure it slowly.
Counting down one generation, Yuanren, Jiansheng and even Jingchu, who was born as a casual cultivator, are all very good, but unfortunately they are a little bit inferior.
Only this kid is always hard to see through...
With a deep gaze focused on Xiao Mian, Wan Zongsheng said nothing.
High-level Nascent Soul, three meridians cultivation, invincible at the same level, killing people of higher levels!
The number of spiritual world celestial masters who died at the hands of Xiao Mian is almost no less than Wan Zongsheng.
It is this kid, whom I couldn't see through since I first saw him decades ago; after that, I traveled around the world and could always hear his earth-shaking movements; later, he returned to Nanyue as the uncrowned king of Tiandu Martial Arts, rectified the Five Elements Sect, destroyed the Demon Shadow Sect, and was unrivaled at the time; then there was the battle of the East China Sea, where he made plans and was both wise and brave; the Duzun Mansion was opened, and this kid dominated the Duzun Mansion with his heaven-defying luck...
Until now!
Scheming, scheming, cultivation, and luck, all are not lacking!
I just don't know if the small Nanyue can tie him down...
That's all!
I have been a powerful figure for nearly a thousand years. Who can know what will happen a hundred years after my death?
I only hope that after I die, he can keep Wanzong City from being destroyed and Nanyue State from sinking!
Thinking of this, Wanzong Sheng nodded to Xiao Mian.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian's expression changed.
But the next moment, Wanzong Sheng had activated the Wanfa Lingtai and rushed out of Nanzhimen - Wanzong Sheng actually took the initiative to attack and kill Lingzhuzi!
Not to mention Xiao Mian was shocked, even Lingzhuzi was shocked.
This is clearly to - die with the enemy!
No matter how arrogant Lingzhuzi is, facing the death of Wanzong Sheng, he has to retreat - if he still doesn't want to return to the spiritual world!
Lingzhuzi has escaped, will other spiritual practitioners still persist?
Only the two spiritual practitioners entangled by Chilian Patriarch and Elder Hu wanted to escape but couldn't.
Catching the determination in their opponents' eyes, the two spiritual practitioners looked at each other, and without saying a word, they chased away.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian was overjoyed.
But when he looked at Chi Lian Patriarch and Elder Hu again, Xiao Mian's face changed drastically.
At this time, the two Heavenly Lords were clearly close to life and death!
Although Chi Lian Patriarch and Elder Hu were also senior cultivators, they were half a generation lower than Wan Zongsheng and others. In addition, they were both elders of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, and could be said to be Xiao Mian's direct line.
If he could save these two elders, Xiao Mian would do his best.
Unfortunately, in the face of Xiao Mian's rescue, Elder Hu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Chi Lian Patriarch made an even more shocking statement.
"Boy! No need to bother..."
In a few words, Chi Lian Patriarch revealed his own situation.
After hearing this, Xiao Mian was stunned.
Last time in Dongwuzhou, Xiao Mian was overjoyed when he heard that Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce had gained more than a dozen powerful Tianzun in one fell swoop, after all, Xiao Mian was the master of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
But thinking about it afterwards, Xiao Mian also felt it was amazing.
Creating twelve Tianzuns in one fell swoop, such a shocking method, I am afraid that the nine holy places cannot do it.
Xiao Mian always thought that Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce had an amazing foundation, but he didn't expect that there was something else!
Although Chi Lian Patriarch and others were all heroes of the time, it was not easy to cultivate to the Tianzun spiritual realm, not to mention that twelve elders broke through at the same time?
Their path to Tianzun was a trick!
Supreme Pill - a secret medicine against the sky, the effect is against the sky.
Chi Lian Patriarch and others took this Supreme Pill and jumped into the Tianzun realm.
However, all secret medicines must have side effects.
The more powerful the secret medicine, the stronger the side effects - this Supreme Pill will shake the foundation of the cultivator!
Just like the Chi Lian Patriarch and Elder Hu at this time, they seemed to be unscathed, but in fact they were in a state of deep distress.
Watching the two elders die in front of him, Xiao Mian was powerless...
Let’s talk about Wan Zongsheng, who chased a group of spiritual practitioners up and down with his own strength.
It's not that Wan Zong Sheng is invincible, but no one wants to fight a dead man!
There's no benefit in winning, what if you lose...
With a sudden cold snort, Ling Zhuzi flew towards the Shen Guang.
Looking at this posture, Ling Zhuzi clearly wanted to bombard Wan Zong Sheng with the Shen Guang.
Seeing this, others didn't do anything, but Xiao Mian snorted coldly.
Ling Zhuzi!
If you think you can do whatever you want with a heaven-level treasure ship, today I will let you know: you are not the only one who has a heaven-level treasure ship!
With a thought, Xiao Mian remained silent.
Let's say that there are two people in the sky above Nanzhimen, facing each other from a distance.
From the beginning to the end, the immortal Jin Hong and the demon king Boxun, like a pair of old friends, just stood in the sky above Wan Zong City, watching the show.
Neither of them took action, but just watched from the sidelines.
Occasionally, the two chatted for a while...
"Demon King! Do you think that boy would be so unwise?"
"Oh? Why does the immortal say that?"
"Wanzong City is doomed, and the retreat of Xuanwei Cave is cut off. Why is he so unwise and trapped here? Does he have any trump card?"
"...Who knows!"
"Hmph! Let me wait and see!"
While the immortal and the demon were talking, Lingzhuzi had already fled back to the Shenguang.
Just when Lingzhuzi wanted to order the bombardment of Wanzong Saint, the space in front of Wanzong City suddenly shook, and rounds of space ripples continued to spread.
The so-called space ripples are a sign of space fragmentation.
However, when ordinary-sized objects break through the space barrier, space ripples will not be formed. Only objects that are large enough can form space ripples.
The biggest possibility is the treasure ship-among the four-level treasure ships of Tiandi Xuanhuang, only the Tian-level treasure ship can perform space jumps!
The immortal Jin Hong and the demon king Po Xun had different expressions.
Ling Zhuzi on the Shen Guang had an ugly expression.
Only Xiao Mian remained calm.
Gradually, a round tip like a bucket broke through the space and appeared. The tip kept moving forward, and the diameter of the tip became larger and larger.
Correspondingly, the range of the space ripples became larger and larger.
It seemed slow but actually fast. In just a moment, the tip rushed out for dozens of miles, and the diameter of the tip had not decreased during this period.
The diameter did not expand until the tip rushed out forty or fifty miles.
But even so, the maximum diameter at this time also reached forty or fifty miles.
In other words, this foreign object that appeared out of thin air was like half an egg!
Eggs, naturally, are one by one...
Therefore, almost "whoosh", the second half of the egg appeared in front of everyone - shaped like an ellipsoid, smooth and round, clearly an egg!
It's just that this egg is too big - a hundred miles long and half a hundred miles wide!
Even Xiao Mian was a little puzzled when looking at this giant egg.
Fortunately, the next moment, a wave of movement came from the giant egg...
"Young Master! Xing Xuan is late, please forgive me!"
"Xing Xuan! You are here just in time! Bombard the Shen Guang for me!"
"Yes! Young Master!" Chu Xing Xuan responded respectfully, and issued a series of orders: "Right full rudder! Aim at the enemy ship in front, light energy cannon - fire!"
As soon as the words came out, the cannon was fired!
A faint beam of light erupted from the top of the giant egg, flashed by, and hit the bow of the Shen Guang.
Before that, Ling Zhuzi was trying to control the Shen Guang to bombard Wan Zong Sheng, but was startled by the ripples in the space and did not dare to act rashly.
I didn't expect Xiao Mian and Chu Xing Xuan to be so cruel. As soon as they appeared, they bombarded the Shen Guang - but this attack was not a spiritual energy cannon, but a light energy cannon.
Light energy cannon, fast, accurate, fierce, and stable!
Although the Shen Guang was also a dignified heavenly treasure ship, it had previously broken through the Endless Ocean and wasted dozens of psychic cannons in Wanzong City, which had a great loss of psychic energy. Its psychic energy reserves were almost exhausted, and there was not much psychic energy available for defense.
Besides, even if the psychic shield of the Shen Guang could withstand the full force of the giant egg psychic cannon, it was still unknown!
At that time, the entire Shen Guang trembled.
Then, the entire bow of the Shen Guang began to disintegrate...
This time, not to mention Ling Zhuzi, even Xiao Mian was frightened.
He was just angry that Ling Zhuzi dared to bombard Wanzong Sheng, so he ordered Chu Xingxuan to retaliate and bombard the Shen Guang, but he didn't expect it to be so clean and neat.
Before Xiao Mian could react, Ling Zhuzi made a decision first.
Today, it will be difficult to take Wanzong City...
With this thought in mind, Lingzhuzi bravely cut off his arm and split the bow of the Shenguang, and then drove the main body of the Shenguang to escape to the north.
This second southern expedition, Lingzhuzi was well prepared.
Both the Heaven Collapse and Earth Splitting Formation and the Heaven-class Treasure Ship Shenguang could attack Wanzong City, but it turned out to be such an ending.
Not to mention the heavy losses of the spiritual cultivators, Lingyunzi died.
Now, even the Shenguang was severely damaged, and Lingzhuzi had no choice but to retreat!
The giant egg forced Lingzhuzi to retreat-although it looked extremely ugly, everyone knew: the giant egg was a treasure ship!
And it was a top-grade Heaven-class treasure ship!
Otherwise, how could the Shenguang be severely damaged with one shot?
The collapse of the Shenguang finally brought Xiao Mian back to his senses-he did not expect: Lingzhuzi retreated so simply!
But at this moment, Chu Xingxuan's voice was heard again in the dome.
"Young Master! The enemy has fled, do you want to chase them?"
"Chase? This... can we still catch up?"
"As long as the young master wants, we can catch up!"
"Okay! Chase! Even if we chase him to Tiandu City, chase him!" Staring at the north, Xiao Mian said coldly: "Then, shoot it down for me!"
"Yes! Young Master!"
Having said so much, Chu Xingxuan said no more.
The next moment, the giant egg turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
The sky in the north is destined not to be lonely...
Before the others did anything, the immortal Jinhong and the demon king Boxun quietly retreated first, but before leaving, the immortal and the demon looked at Xiao Mian thoughtfully.
This kid - what a trump card!
Only then did Xiao Mian really breathe a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Wan Zongsheng, who had persisted until now, finally couldn't hold on.
Wanfa Lingtai collapsed, and Wan Zongsheng fell from the sky.
After catching Wan Zongsheng, Xiao Mian's face changed several times.
Nan Tianyisheng, who once dominated Nanyue Province for hundreds of years, now curled up in Xiao Mian's arms, his whole body cold and shivering...
"You...you are very good..."
"..., Senior!"
"Okay! Just do it! I believe in you! Just do it..."
"Yes!"
"Hehe...haha..." Laughing wildly, Wan Zongsheng suddenly stood up from Xiao Mian's arms, looking at the shaky but ultimately unfallen Wanzong City, and sighed quietly: "I have a clear conscience in Wanzong City; I have devoted my life to Nanyue Province!"
Having said this, Wan Zongsheng fell to the ground with a bang.
This time, he never got up again...
Outside Nanzhimen, everyone was mixed with joy and sorrow.
The joy was that they finally defeated the Shenguang and saved Wanzong City. The sadness was that although few people died in this battle, all those who died were top-notch fighters.
Wan Zongsheng, Jiujianxian, Wei Ying, Chilian Patriarch and Hu Elder, only three people were killed in the battle power of the Heavenly Venerable, Bai Family Patriarch died in the battle, Jianglong Fuhu narrowly escaped death.
Especially Wan Zongsheng, for Wanzong City and even Nanyue State, he is a symbolic mark. As long as Wan Zongsheng is there, Wanzong City is there!
Now, this mark is gone...
No matter what everyone feels, the mess must be cleaned up.
After that, Xiao Mian personally went to Beizhimen to appease Hunyuan Patriarch.
As for other things, Shusheng and other survivors will naturally arrange them properly.
Besides, Xiao Mian has an extremely urgent matter to deal with.
That is - Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm!
Although he was anxious, Xiao Mian had to call Heibu and Guitou first. After Heibu confirmed that the teleportation array still existed, Xiao Mian took action.
The next moment, Xiao Mian appeared in Xuanwei Cave.
Before Xiao Mian could recover from the discomfort of teleportation, a group of attacks had already crushed Xiao Mian - although these attacks were not very good, they were more numerous.
At that moment, there were nearly a hundred attacks on Xiao Mian.
Along with these attacks, there were also shouts one after another.
"Damn it!"
"Wrong hit?"
"Isn't this the young master?"
"Could it be the enemy pretending to be him?"
"Do you want to finish him off?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's see if he's dead first..."
...
Xiao Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
But it seems that either Lingzhuzi is deceiving him, or - No! If he is treated like this, there will be trouble in Xuanwei Cave!
But judging from the situation, Qi Liantian of Tianzhen Palace is in a worrying situation!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian suddenly shouted.
In an instant, five-colored light shone through Xiao Mian's body.
Xiao Mian's entire body was wrapped in a layer of black light, his hands were red, one was ice blue, his legs were platinum, one was green wood...
Supreme magical power - Five Mountains Facing the Sky!
First, the attacks launched outside Xuanwei Cave were numerous and chaotic, and it was hard to defend against them.
Second, Xiao Mian wanted to establish his authority and dampen the arrogance of these Xuanwei students.
Therefore, after a series of crisp ding-dong sounds, Xuanwei Cave was still the Xuanwei Cave, Xiao Mian was still the Xiao Mian, and all the attacks were gone.
"You little bastards, who said you wanted to finish off the enemy just now?"
"..."
Outside Xuanwei Cave, dozens of Xuanwei students were silent.
On the contrary, Tan Daoji stood out from the crowd and bowed.
"Young Master, are you okay? I was so stupid that I offended you!"
"Why did Mr. Tan say that? Where is that person?"
"That person is gone..."
At that moment, Tan Daoji told the truth in a few words.
Lingzhuzi did not deceive Xiao Mian. After knowing the roots of the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, Lingzhuzi did send Qi Liantian to sneak into the Xuanwei Cave with evil intentions.
However, Lingzhuzi, Qi Liantian, or Xiao Mian all underestimated the Xuanwei Formation Spirit!
If the Xuanwei Formation Spirit was placed in the outside world, it would be just a wisp of spirit.
But in the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, the Xuanwei Formation Spirit is a god-like existence.
As soon as Qi Liantian sneaked into the Xuanwei Cave, the Xuanwei Formation Spirit immediately sensed it. Because Qi Liantian came here illegally, the Xuanwei Formation Spirit temporarily imprisoned him in the Xuanwei Cave. No matter how Qi Liantian struggled, he could not get out.
Attracting Tan Daoji, Tan Daoji is not the ignorant Xuanwei array spirit.
Seeing Qi Liantian's evil intentions at a glance, Tan Daoji quietly joined forces with Xuanwei array spirit, one made plans, the other worked hard, and played Qi Liantian, the proud student of Tianzhen Palace, one of the twelve palaces in the spirit world, in the palm of his hand.
In the end, Qi Liantian didn't care whether Xiao Mian was Xiao Mian or not, and directly activated the protection mechanism of the forbidden experience, and fled back to the spirit world...
Poor Qi Liantian was ravaged by the Xuanwei array spirit. I don’t know if he will have a psychological shadow after escaping back to the spirit world, and how big the shadow area is?
That’s why everyone attacked together when Xiao Mian appeared.
Knowing that Xuanwei Cave was safe and sound, Xiao Mian felt relieved.
However, after discussing with Tan Daoji, Xiao Mian decided to temporarily close Xuanwei Cave to prevent Lingzhuzi from repeating the same trick and invading Xuanwei Cave again.
Anyway, the entire Xuanwei Cave secret realm is self-sufficient, and temporarily closing it is no different for Xuanwei students.
After flashing out of Xuanwei Cave, Xiao Mian appeared in Wanzong City again.
Wanzong City, which survived the catastrophe, was in a mess, but full of vitality.
The death of Wanzong Sheng and others is certainly sad, but to put it bluntly, even if there was no catastrophe today, Wanzong Sheng would soon reach the end of his life.
Just like what the Hunyuan Patriarch said: If you seek benevolence and get benevolence, what else can you ask for?
But at this moment, the scholar and the Qingqiu Patriarch came to Xiao Mian together.
"Two seniors..."
"Don't call me senior! Now your fighting power has surpassed mine. Even if I am poor, I am afraid I can't beat you. We should call you seniors!"
"Senior Shang! Qingqiu Patriarch! In my heart, Xiao Mian, you two will always be my seniors - it has nothing to do with cultivation, only morality!"
"Hmph! People's hearts are separated by their stomachs..."
"Fox! Stop talking nonsense and get back to the point!" It was the scholar who interrupted Qingqiu Patriarch's gossip and said in a good voice: "Xiao Mian! The two of us came to you this time to ask you for advice - Wanzong City, where should we go?"
"This... do the two seniors have any opinions?"
"Qingqiu means that since Wanzong City has declined to this point, the spiritual veins are cut off and the earth veins are withered, it is better to find another good place and start over!"
"Oh? What does Senior Shang mean?"
"I mean - where you fall, you get up there!"
When saying this, the scholar was calm and serious!
Xiao Mian was silent after hearing this.
Go? Or stay?
Xiao Mian had considered this question long before today.
What Xiao Mian didn't expect was that the Qingqiu Patriarch, who had always been brave and aggressive, chose to retreat; on the contrary, the scholar who usually followed the rules and kept to himself, actually chose to stick to it - it seems that worldly affairs really temper people's hearts!
"May I ask the Qingqiu Patriarch: If we abandon Wanzong City, where should we go?"
"This... Nanyue has beautiful rivers and mountains, there must be a place to stay, right? At worst, the Nanman Ten Thousand Mountains are vast and sparsely populated, and the spiritual energy is not weak..."
"Qingqiu Patriarch! Today, our Nanyue cultivators can abandon Wanzong City and find a good place; tomorrow, should we also abandon the good place and find another place?"
"But..."
"I know! Qingqiu Patriarch is worried that someone will attack Wanzong City again. Wanzong City has shaken its foundation and cannot resist." After suppressing Qingqiu Patriarch's words, Xiao Mian said word by word: "But if you move the city, you don't need to resist. Nanyue has removed itself from the list!"
For a moment, Qingqiu Patriarch's face changed drastically, and the scholar's expression did not move.
