Chapter 854 Spirit Demon Heavenly Cauldron Formation

But why did the sect declare to the outside world that the ancestor died of serious injuries, instead of saying that he fell into a trap?

Shi Feng thought for a moment and understood.

After the death of the ancestor, the sect lost the Yuanying monks. According to the rules, the Tai Chi Sect was removed from the nine sects of the Yan Kingdom and demoted to a second-class sect.

Moreover, once the ancestor dies, the Demon Puppet Sect will definitely launch an attack.

It is said that the ancestor of Huangyan was seriously injured by the purple-haired demon Ren Jiu during the battle between good and evil, and even died of treatment. Then the real person Huangyan died of justice. How could the other four righteous sects such as Xu Qingguan have the nerve to stand by and watch!

Seeing Shi Feng in a daze, Zang Jizi thought the news was too shocking and frightened him silly.

After a long time, Shi Feng continued to ask, "What happened next?"

His voice was trembling, for fear of hearing the news that all Tai Chi Sect members were massacred.

"Our Hualing Sect expresses deep sympathy for the death of the ancestor of Guimen and even sent people to express condolences. However, the Demon Puppet Sect is different. When they heard the news, they were overjoyed..."

"Has my Tai Chi Sect been destroyed by the Demon Puppet Sect?" Shi Feng asked directly after listening to Zang Jizi's rambling.

"That's not true..."

Shi Feng suddenly let out a long breath, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.

"...But that's about it." Zang Jizi continued.

Shi Feng choked on his throat with a sip of wine and coughed repeatedly.

Long Er laughed and said, "This guy talks like a stupid bird. He stutters and gasps for air. It's really annoying!"

Xiao Hei in the distance glanced at him coldly and spit on the ground.

"What's going on?" Shi Feng asked hurriedly.

"In the first ten years of the war, the four righteous sects did come forward to mediate, but the Demon Puppet Sect was determined and refused to listen to any persuasion. The offensive became more and more fierce. Guimen retreated steadily and their territory was gradually eroded. Now, now ..."

Zang Jizi glanced at Shi Feng and said, "...Only the three hundred miles around Shigu Mountain are still in his hands. The rest of the territory has been taken by the Demon Puppet Sect."

Shi Feng's expression was gloomy. The Tai Chi Sect had an area of ​​influence covering more than a thousand miles. In just thirty years, it had lost 70% of its territory.

"and after?"

"Later, probably five or six years ago, the Demon Puppet Sect concentrated its forces and stormed Shigu Mountain.

However, in that battle, to everyone's expectation, the Demon Puppet Sect came back defeated. "

"Oh?" Shi Feng perked up, "Why is it that the ancestor of our sect died unfortunately and no one can defeat Old Monster Mo? Why did the Demon Puppet Sect lose instead?"

Zang Jizi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, you underestimate your sect too much. After all, your sect has produced ascended immortals, and its foundation is still very deep.

I heard about that battle, and your faction suddenly used a strange magic weapon. With the help of the magic weapon, the five elders actually joined forces to fend off the siege of Old Monster Mo and his four golden elixir disciples..."

Shi Feng's heart moved, and he immediately realized that it was a picture of sword dancing under the moon!

Back then, he and Qianchu's master Bo traveled to Shuzhong just to repair this magic weapon.

Unfortunately, the Sword Dance Diagram is too complicated to completely repair, and only the defensive part can be repaired.

Even so, with the five leaders and the sword dance diagram, it is more than enough to withstand Mo Laowei's attack.

Zang Jizi continued, "...In that battle, the Demon Puppet Sect lost many men and horses, and their vitality was severely damaged, so they changed their strategy..."

Shi Feng asked, "Are they just surrounding instead of fighting?"

Zang Jizi knocked on the table lightly, "Fellow Taoist Shi is so smart! The other territories of Taiji Sect were taken over by Demon Puppet Sect, and Shigu Mountain became an isolated island, surrounded by people from all sides. People from Taiji Sect couldn't even get out of the mountain gate. .

This has always been a stalemate. A month ago, I left Yan State to come to Fengqiu, and the situation is still like this. "

Shi Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "If we were surrounded by people and isolated from the inside and outside, why could our sect be able to persist for five or six years?"

Zang Jizi hesitated for a moment.

"What? Is there anything difficult about hiding a few fellow Taoists?"

"No, no." Zang Jizi smiled bitterly, "I only heard about some things, and Brother Shi just listened to them."

He lowered his voice a bit, "The Gui Sect and the Demon Puppet Sect have been fighting each other for thirty years. Naturally, the other sects will not just sit idly by."

"But according to the original mediation plan of the three super sects, the sects of Yan State are not allowed to form an alliance. How can other sects intervene?"

"The agreement is dead, but the people are alive! In our country of Yan, the two factions of spirits and demons are roughly equal in power. If the Demon Puppet Sect annexes the Taiji Sect, then the Demon Elimination Sect and the Righteous Sect will definitely not be happy.

Besides, the ancestor of Gui Sect died in the battle between good and evil, and Xu Qingguan could not ignore it, both public and private, and they secretly helped Taiji Sect behind the scenes.

Through the teleportation array, personnel and supplies were transported, so the Demon Puppet Sect was besieged for five or six years, but the Taiji Sect remained strong as before. "

Shi Feng's eyes turned, "Then your Hualing Sect knows about this and won't you come out to oppose it?"

Zang Jizi sneered, "Why should we object! The only blame is that Old Monster Mo is too stingy. He annexed the seven hundred miles of your Taiji Sect's territory, but refused to give an inch to others! The three of us have hinted several times , he turned a deaf ear.”

Shi Feng understood as soon as he heard that the other demon cultivator sects were jealous when they saw the Demon Puppet Sect becoming big, so they turned a blind eye even though they knew that Lingxiao Pavilion and other sects were secretly helping Taiji Sect.

He was slightly relieved. If this was the case, the sect would be safe for the time being.

"However, this matter changed again last year," Zang Jizi suddenly changed the subject.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Shi, do you know that the Demon Puppet Sect is backed by the Lingxiao Sword Sect?"

"Well, I know. A hundred years ago, the Demon Puppet Sect secretly formed an alliance with the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Although both sides did not admit it, everyone knew it.

Old Monster Mo dared to refuse the requests of the other several families to divide the territory, probably because he relied on the Lingxiao Sword Sect behind him.

Why, did the Lingxiao Sword Sect openly send people to participate in the war?"

Zang Jizi smiled slightly, "Of course he didn't dare. The original mediation agreement clearly stated that no force was allowed to participate in the civil war in Yan. How dare the Lingxiao Sword Sect risk the world's disapproval.

Besides, the Demon Puppet Sect is backed by the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and doesn't your sect also have the Taishan Sect behind it?..."

As a disciple of Taiji Sect, Shi Feng knew that his sect had a deep connection with the Taishan Sect of Qi.

Back then, Taiji Zhenren defeated the Hai Clan three times and saved the Taishan Sect, which was like a rebirth.

The third generation leader Wuyi Zhenren once came forward to quell the fight between the three branches of the Taishan Sect and saved the almost destroyed Taishan Sect.

But thousands of years later, the status of the two sides reversed, Taiji Sect gradually declined, and Taishan Sect became one of the six major sword sects.

"... However, although Lingxiao Sword Sect did not send people to participate in the war, it secretly gave the Demon Puppet Sect a great killing weapon and helped the Demon Puppet Sect to set up the Spirit Demon Heavenly Cauldron formation."

"Spirit Demon Heavenly Cauldron formation?" Shi Feng was stunned.

He had obtained a large number of formation secrets from Baili Guyue, and was carefully instructed by Feng Qitong, so his attainments in talisman formations were also quite good.

There are generally three functions of talisman formations in the world, attack, defense and assistance.

There are many kinds of auxiliary formations, such as the Soul Returning Curse Seal that Shi Feng obtained in the Wanling Fantasy Realm, which can calm the soul and quickly fall asleep.

Other formations, such as increasing firepower when refining equipment and alchemy, absorbing vitality when cultivators form pills, and forming a spiritual vortex backflow, can all be classified as auxiliary formations.

The same is true for the Spirit Demon Heavenly Cauldron Formation. As the name suggests, this formation is to bury a huge Heavenly Cauldron deep in the Spirit Eye to transform spiritual energy into demonic energy.

As far as Shi Feng knows, the Goddess Peak of the Demon Clan has built nine Spirit Demon Heavenly Cauldron Formations to transform the majestic water and ice spiritual energy on the top of the snow peak into demonic energy for disciples to practice.

However, what does the Demon Puppet Sect's arrangement of this practice formation have to do with attacking Taiji Sect?
