Chapter 584: Tense Confrontation
Chapter 584 Tense Confrontation
A battle with a huge disparity in numbers and unequal strength, the outcome was doomed from the beginning. The attacker thought he was the one who had the upper hand, but found that the other party had become the upper hand. The sand dunes in front of him were like a trap, trapping the 46 disciples of the Five Elements Flag.
The battle did not last long. Li Chenfeng of the Thick Earth Flag raised a yellow cloth banner and waved it a few times, blowing the wind and sand all over the sky, like a sandstorm. The remaining disciples of the Five Elements Flag took the opportunity to leave the battle circle and retreat in all directions.
When they gathered together again, only 33 people were left out of the original 46, and 13 people were buried forever under the yellow sand.
The two flags of Tianhuo and Ruijin, which were originally responsible for the main attack, did not suffer much loss, mainly the Thick Earth Flag and Tianshui Flag suffered heavy losses.
Only three of the eight disciples of the Thick Earth Flag escaped, and five died in an instant. Although Li Xianyue wanted to rescue the five young female disciples of Tianshui Banner who were trapped by the Qi sword, she was powerless and all died under the Qi sword shooting.
A big storm between the righteous and the evil sects was opened again at this time, after a hundred years.
Ye Xiaochuan didn't know what happened in the desert thousands of miles away. After eating and drinking, he lay in the small mountain cave. Perhaps because he was unconscious for two days and didn't feel sleepy, Yun Qiyou took out the demon-suppressing ancient zither and started playing the zither.
Outside, the wind and rain were still there, with lightning and thunder, but in this small cave, there were heavenly sounds, which were intoxicating, as if it was another world.
Three days later.
In the past three days, many things have happened in the world. The Duantian Cliff Fighting has completely ended. The top three are Yang Ling'er of Piaomiao Pavilion, Gu Jianchi of Cangyunmen, and Du Chun. It is exactly the same as what Ye Xiaochuan guessed when he woke up.
Gu Jianchi competed with Yang Linger for one in the last battle. Although he was extremely cautious and focused on defense, he still failed to block the first blow of the fish intestine dagger that was faster than lightning and difficult for even the divine consciousness to capture.
Since the Kunlun Twelve Immortals defeated the Five Elements Flag disciples who returned from Tianshan a thousand miles away from Yumen Pass three days ago, these twelve people are like ghosts in the desert, appearing frequently. Every time they appear, there must be swords and shadows, bloody winds and rains. In the past few days, at least hundreds of the disciples of the Demon Cult who have returned from Tianshan have died under the swords of these twelve people.
This incident caused an uproar. Tens of thousands of disciples of the Demon Cult have recently been watching the fighting competition in Tianshan. As the person in charge, Tuoba Yu, the leader of the Tianmo Sect, gave an order, and 20,000 demon sect cultivators pointed to Kunlun Mountain, intending to fight to the death with the righteous path in the Central Plains.
However, the thunder was loud, but the rain was small. After all, there were more people on the righteous side. The two sides confronted each other on the Kunlun Mountain line, but no one had the intention to take action.
For this situation, the head of Cangyun Sect, Yu Jizi, was disdainful. How could this old fox not know that this confrontation between the righteous and the evil was actually a conspiracy of Xuantian Sect?
The status of Xuantian Sect as the leader of the righteous path was in jeopardy in the rise of Cangyun Sect. At this time, Xuantian Sect needed time, and the old Qiankunzi lacked time.
In this environment, if Xuantian Sect wanted to maintain its position as the largest sect of the righteous path, it must take other actions. The most direct and effective one was to provoke a fight between the righteous and the evil.
Only when the relationship between the righteous and the evil reached a state of war again, Xuantian Sect could take this opportunity to rely on the appeal of the Xuantie Order to command the heroes of the world and enhance the prestige of Xuantian Sect.
Just like the generals in the mortal court, when the world was peaceful, the emperor would never show mercy in killing the generals, and at the very least, he would deprive them of their military power. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, many smart generals secretly cooperated with the hostile forces outside the Great Wall, letting them come to harass them every now and then, knock on the gate, and make a profit.
In this way, the emperor cannot do without those generals who lead troops to fight.
The intention of Xuantian Sect is almost the same. After Qiankunzi learned that Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou of Cangyun Sect were missing, he felt the breath of danger and made a prompt decision to send the twelve Xuantian immortals to perform a secret mission, which was to use the Demon Sect as a target. The more tense the situation between the righteous and the evil, the less likely the righteous path will split at this time, and no one will mention boring things like the righteous alliance.
As long as his successor Li Xuanyin can stand on his own, with the overall strength of Xuantian Sect, it may not be defeated by Cangyun Sect.
However, this situation is not easy to control. Cangyun Sect has used it a lot in the past, so even a fool can see the intention of Xuantian Sect. If the Demon Sect does not cooperate, there will be two results. One is that the Demon Sect will be angry and really evolve into a war between the righteous and the evil. The other is that the Demon Sect will not play with you anymore and pat their butts and go home.
The long-term confrontation and long-term tense situation that Qiankunzi hopes for is extremely difficult to form.
This day, Yun Qiyou brought Ye Xiaochuan to Mount Xumi. Guanzizai Peak was still standing tall. The Bodhi trees on the cliffs behind the mountain that were cut down by Yun Qiyou with a sword had not recovered their original appearance after half a year.
After several days of recuperation, Ye Xiaochuan could walk except that he could not activate his true essence and spiritual power. He was almost like a weak young scholar, and he had to breathe a few times after walking a distance.
Yun Qiyou helped Ye Xiaochuan sit down in front of a big tree that had fallen for who knows how many years, and said loudly: "Senior Xuanying, I, Yun Qiyou, have something important to ask for."
She said it over and over again, from morning to afternoon, but there was no other sound in the surrounding valley except her echo.
The cave where Xuanying lived was covered with the Sumeru mustard seed formation. Only she and Fairy Liuyun knew how to open this formation. Although Yun Qiyou knew that Xuanying's cave was right in front of her, she could not find any clues no matter how hard she looked. She could only shout, hoping that Xuanying in the cave could hear her.
Seeing that Yun Qiyou had been shouting for a whole day and her voice was hoarse, Ye Xiaochuan said, "Don't shout. Xuanying hasn't come back yet. Alas, you shouldn't have taken me away from Tianshan. Maybe Xuanying would have found me by himself a long time ago."
Yun Qiyou was very disappointed. Xuanying didn't respond at all. Could it be that Xuanying really hasn't come back from Tianshan yet?
Seeing that it was getting dark, Yun Qiyou lit a fire in the valley behind Guanzizai Peak. During the three days of camping with Ye Xiaochuan, his cooking skills improved and he became more picky about food. He no longer used burnt black steamed buns to deal with it. He caught a few fat fish in a mountain stream, scraped the scales, removed the gills and removed the internal organs, and then set up a casserole on the fire and started to cook fish soup.
Although Ye Xiaochuan could walk now, he still had no intention of doing it himself. He sat aside and directed, with an attitude that this young master was born to be a young master.
Of course, no matter whether the food made by Yun Qiyou was delicious or not, he would eat it and would not make negative comments on the food.
This was a lesson learned from blood and tears. At night, two wild geese were caught and cooked. Ye Xiaochuan said, "The wild geese you cooked are not delicious."
Now that Ye Xiaochuan's physical strength has gradually recovered, Yun Qiyou dared to take action. As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked by Yun Qiyou and fell to the ground.
