Chapter 127 The Tragedy of Long Chao
At the same time as the incident happened here, Long Xuan's Xiaoqiong Peak unexpectedly welcomed a group of uninvited guests. A spirit boat stopped in front of the magic cube formation, and there were six Gu cultivators with the spirit sea stage sitting on it.
"What a large trap formation. This is the first time I have seen a formation that covers such a large area. I'm afraid we need to take a detour." An old man at the front of the spirit boat said.
"Taking a detour is really a waste of time. We don't have much time to waste. Can't we just jump over from the sky?" Another old man on the boat walked to the bow and said.
The old man who spoke earlier shook his head and said, "If it were that easy, I wouldn't stop. Powerful formations are likely to have air-blocking formations."
"And I can feel that this trap is square, and it should be stacked with several worlds. It takes the same amount of time to go up and go left and right."
Another old man said anxiously, "It's a waste of time to take a detour. A formation with such a large area must be made of cement, which is not vulnerable at all. I think it's better to break it directly. You wait for me here. Give me a few breaths and see how I can destroy this small formation in seconds!"
As he said that, the old man broke into the formation alone, and his figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The old men on the boat waited quietly, but until a long time passed, he didn't come out of the formation. The old men gradually changed their faces and could no longer sit still.
"Didn't you say he would come out in a few breaths? How many breaths have passed? This rubbish! He can still be trapped by a small formation. I'll go in and get him out. You wait for me on the boat."
Another impatient old man couldn't help it anymore. After leaving a word, he also flew into the formation.
However, after who knows how many breaths, there was no movement in the formation. At this time, everyone on the boat couldn't sit still again.
"Why is it so slow! How long has it been! We don't have much time to waste!" An old man couldn't help complaining.
"It's likely that something went wrong. It seems that this formation has some tricks. We underestimated it. I'll go in and take them out! I'll be back soon."
As he said that, the old man was about to jump off the boat.
However, the old man standing on the bow of the boat hurriedly held him down and said anxiously: "Don't! Don't send me off!"
"This formation is not simple." The old man's face changed drastically.
"Take a detour! Take a detour!"
The old man said, without giving the people on the boat a chance to react, and hurriedly drove the spirit boat to fly away...
The old man was rational, but they had already wasted a lot of time in this place, and it was too late to do anything now.
As expected, when they drove the spirit boat to the Long family and prepared to attack the treasure house, the battle on the holy land had already ended, and all the invaders were killed.
At this time, the masters of the Long family were not delayed by anything, and the tiger away from the mountain had lost its effect. If this group of people rushed in again, wouldn't they be walking into a trap?
So the Long family just dealt with this group of invading enemies, but found a small boat flying from a distance, late, and went straight to the treasure house.
Everyone was confused, and didn't understand why they sent batches after batches. What kind of plan was this?
Everyone couldn't understand, but if only a few people dared to attack the Long family, how could they not swallow them all in one bite?
Everyone smiled grimly and surrounded those people.
The final result is naturally predictable. When the people on the boat found something wrong, it was too late. They just turned the boat around and prepared to fly back, but were hit by a lightning.
Then a group of Long clan Gu cultivators rushed forward and resolved the battle not long after. Those Soul clan Linghai stage Gu cultivators died miserably.
"There shouldn't be anyone else coming to send them off, right? This is already the third batch!" Long Lie looked into the distance and said with a strange look on his face.
"It's hard to say. This group of people likes to fight with fewer people. Maybe there will be a fourth batch, or even a fifth batch. Be careful! Always pay attention to the sky." Long Buhui looked at the sky and said uncertainly.
"Long Lie, this time it's all thanks to you. Although these scoundrels are not very smart, if it weren't for your intelligence, the Holy Land would suddenly have so many Linghai stage strongmen, and it would really be a big trouble. You have made a great contribution this time." Long Wanli looked at Long Lie and said solemnly.
However, Long Lie was a little absent-minded when facing this question. He frowned and said, "I don't know where this group of people came from. They don't seem to be a local force. The group of people just now was obviously weak, but this group of people is unexpectedly strong."
The others also showed a thoughtful look. This group of people who suddenly appeared was too weird. Their moves were unfamiliar. They had never met them before, let alone had any grudges. They didn't know how they provoked this force.
At this time, a Long family Gu cultivator ran to the head of the family holding a fat big fat worm and said respectfully, "Head, we found this thing in the brains of those dead bodies."
"The brains of those people seem to have been eaten up by this thing. These things are what control those human bodies to fight."
Long Wanli immediately approached and looked at the big fat worm. His face suddenly changed drastically and showed a solemn look.
"It's a brain Gu, there should be no mistake. This group of people should be from the Hun family in the West."
Long Wanli frowned deeply. Obviously, he knew very clearly how difficult this family was.
The elder of the wealthy clan came over and said with a wry smile: "If it were this family, it would be in trouble. The Hun clan is one of the strongest clans in the West. They can control the corpses of many powerful creatures by refining brain Gu, both human and spiritual. There are beasts and aliens, and they often raid major tombs and use brain poison to control the corpses of many powerful people.”
"Therefore, this Gu cultivator family has a lot of high-end power above the spiritual sea stage, but the combat effectiveness of the corpse controlled by the brain Gu is far less than that of the corpse before it was alive."
"This is why you think the previous batch was easy to fight and this batch is difficult to deal with. It is also the reason why the previous batch of people were able to escape from the insect breeding bag, because the essence of that group of people was insects, not humans."
"Furthermore, brain Gu is no less intelligent than humans. After it devours a person's brain, it can obtain all of that person's memories and abilities. Once it is inserted into another family to act as a spy, it is basically difficult to detect."
"Long Chen did this because his brain was eaten by this thing. It's a fluke that we could detect that something was wrong with him."
The elder of the two clans said at this time: "It's true that there are many high-level Gu cultivators of the Soul clan, but we don't need to be afraid of them. Strong dragons can't suppress the local snakes. The Western Land is too far away from here, so they can't invade in a big way."
"What's more, it is said that they are currently at war with the Gui clan and have no energy to worry about us. We can form an alliance with the Xitulong clan during this period, and then we will not have to fear them at all."
Long Wanli said with undiminished worry: "Although that is true, without absolute power, there is no absolute security. We cannot rely on the safety of the family on speculative security."
"It would be best for the family to have a second Gu King. With two Gu Kings in charge, unless the Hun clan leaves no Gu King to look after the family, we can be 100% safe."
Long Wanli's suggestion made all the senior members of the family look thoughtful.
Speaking of which, the family has developed rapidly in recent years, with total income reaching new highs every year, and the wealth earned is enough to cultivate a Gu King.
Thinking of this, all the clan elders were very excited. The benefits of having a second Gu King in the family were obvious.
The most important thing for every family is always the power of the Gu King. One more Gu King has endless temptation for any family.
Besides, the Long family now has more and more wealth and coveted things, and it does need more Gu kings to protect it.
The elder of the wealthy clan said excitedly: "It is really time for our clan to launch a plan to cultivate a second Gu King. Even if there is no threat from foreign enemies, this plan must be carried out."
"It's just that we should spend a lot of money to trade the realm-breaking elixir, or let Long Ao refine it. Although he is already a third-level alchemist, after all, he has just become a third-level alchemist not long ago. He has little experience, and I don't know if he can refine it with the highest difficulty. The realm-breaking elixir.”
The elder of the two clans stroked his beard and said: "Then we can only ask how sure Long Ao is about this matter first, but among our group of people, Long Buhui is the only one who has touched the bottleneck of Gu King, right?"
The elder of the two clans looked at Long Buhui, and everyone else also focused on him.
Everyone understands that if nothing unexpected happens, this person will be the second Gu King in the clan, and he will be another pillar of the Long family.
Long Buhui was a little flattered. He waved his hands hurriedly and smiled modestly: "No, no! I haven't done much for the family, so it's not appropriate. This is definitely inappropriate. Let's consider others."
In fact, he already knew in his heart that the opportunity to break through the Gu King was his own, and he was almost going crazy with excitement, but on the surface he still had to act modest, and he had no choice but to accept it after trying to push the envelope.
"Brother Bugui! Don't belittle yourself. You have made a huge contribution by guarding the holy tree for the family for so many years. The credit is enough. You must be the king of Gu, so don't refuse."
The rich man patted his shoulder and laughed.
Long Buhui shook his head. Just when he was about to make a modest excuse, someone shouted, "No! Something happened to the holy tree!"
At this moment, all the senior members of the family changed their expressions and ran towards the Holy Land like crazy.
The faces of the other ordinary Gu cultivators from other families also changed greatly, and they hurriedly followed.
Not long after, the quiet holy land became noisy again, and a large group of people broke in like crazy. After seeing the appearance of the holy tree at this time, everyone was stunned and almost crazy with anger.
No one knows the status of the sacred tree in the hearts of the Long clan.
"Who is it? Who did this?" The rich man hurried to the holy tree and emotionally touched the broken branches of the holy tree. He burst into tears.
"What a soul clan, how dare you do such a cruel thing to our clan's sacred tree, they and I are not at odds with each other!" Long Lie shouted excitedly.
Long Buhui had a sullen face and suppressed his anger. He had guarded the sacred tree for fifty years without any incident, but something happened on the last day. He was about to explode.
The elder of the second clan took a deep breath, patted Long Lie on the shoulder, and said with sharp eyes: "Don't be impulsive, it might not be the Hun clan who did it. If it was the Hun clan, why not destroy the entire tree, or directly Taking them all away, but only destroying such a small part, I think the person who did this is someone else."
The eyes of the elders of the two clans flashed with fierce murderous intent.
"What do you mean..." Long Buhui asked, looking thoughtful.
"Hmph! If it wasn't the Hun clan, it would have to be one of our own."
"The barrier that protects the holy tree has been broken. Not only has the formation here been destroyed, but also the formation that protects the family has been destroyed."
"Who else can silently destroy our family's protective formation, except a domestic thief? It's really hard to guard against a domestic thief, and you can't even raise a white-eyed wolf."
The old man from the second clan had a ferocious look on his face, and was about to faint from anger. His eyes had been completely ignited with anger.
Long Wanli looked around with a livid face and shouted angrily: "Who? Who did it! Who was the last to leave just now! Stand up!"
Hearing this, all the Long family Gu cultivators who had just entered here looked at each other.
Long Xuan also had an angry expression, looking left and right.
He was not panicked at all. In order to avoid being suspected, he was not the last one to leave. What's more, the person who stole the branches of the holy tree was Long Xuan. What relationship does it have with his flame clone? You can check it at will.
At this time, Long Chao, who was lying on the ground, was finally revived. He opened his eyes in confusion and said confusedly: "Huh? What happened?"
The next moment, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
If anyone is the last to leave, it must be this person. He has never left at all, and he has stayed here alone for an unknown length of time.
