Chapter 388 Spirit Mine Battle
After the previous wave of raids, the monks in Gufeng Mountain finally reacted and began to stop the attack of the Minghe Sect, which was the source of strength.
"Hmph! The rats from the Minghe Sect dare to come here to die again." With a sharp shout, a bearded man in black came out of the mountain directly with a giant sword, and stopped the thinker. Tao Hede and others are going to destroy the formations everywhere.
The cultivation of this big man in black has reached the peak of foundation building, and his strength is also very good. He stopped several monks from the Minghe Sect, including Tao Hede, and the remaining monks from the Minghe Sect were soon hacked. The companions who followed closely behind the burly man blocked the entrance to the formation.
When Tao Hede saw that the other party reacted so quickly, he quickly shouted to Song Qingyu and others behind him: "Everyone, the formation-breaking beads can only last for half a stick of incense. Please hurry up and destroy the Five Elements Formation Eyes. These Leave the people to us.”
Now that the benefits of the Minghe Sect have been accepted, everyone naturally has to contribute when they get here. Master Mulong, who has the highest level of cultivation, has taken the lead and rushed to the front. He came to a location shining with green light and casually With one wave, several Qi Refining Stage monks guarding the place were knocked away five or six feet away.
Immediately afterwards, Master Mulong's palm suddenly turned silver-white, as if it had become a silver iron hand. He smashed the shield protecting the blue light into pieces, destroying the formation. .
This Master Mulong was originally a very famous casual cultivator in Zheng State. This person has cultivated to this point only by his own talent. He can be regarded as a rare and strange person among the many casual cultivators in Zheng State. However, this person has a very special temperament. He is casual and doesn't like to be bound by sect rules. Otherwise, if he joins a large sect casually, he has some hope of forming an elixir.
Seeing that one of the formation's eyes had been damaged by the opponent, the men in black were shocked and quickly ordered the Qi Refining monks below to blow a very dull horn sound to summon the monks who were still in other places on the mountain to come here quickly. support.
Although there were nearly a hundred monks on the side of the black-clothed monks guarding Gufeng Mountain, only six of them had reached the foundation-building stage. Facing the attack of more than 20 foundation-building monks from the Minghe Sect, they struggled to resist under the leadership of the big man in black. Next, they were beaten back quickly, but after only one stick of incense, all the formations were destroyed.
"Senior Brother Xu, it's better to retreat first. The opponents are all foundation-building monks. We have too few manpower. If we continue to fight, we will not be able to defeat the opponent." Seeing that the battlefield situation was getting more and more unfavorable, a man in black stood beside him. A woman in the late stage of foundation building quickly offered advice.
This second-level five-element formation only has five formation eyes. Now that the four formation eyes have been destroyed, its power has been greatly reduced. It can no longer exert much restraint on the foundation-building monks who enter the formation. If we continue to fight like this until the last formation eye is destroyed. When the other party destroys the formation and the formation fades, everyone can only resign themselves to their fate.
Seeing that the last formation could no longer be saved, the big man in black was entangled by many monks from the Minghe Sect and could not escape. He could only grit his teeth and sigh. Just when he was about to issue a retreat order, someone from the far side Suddenly, a gray airship floated over quickly in the sky, with some confused figures standing on top of the airship.
"It's Patriarch Qian who's coming. Everyone, hold on, don't panic, reinforcements will be here soon." Seeing the figure of this flying boat, all the monks on the black-clothed man's side suddenly felt happy and began to use various powerful magical powers. Fight the enemy harder.
There were seven or eight figures standing above the gray flying boat, all of whom were monks at the foundation-building stage or above. The one standing at the front was an old man with white hair and a childish face, and kind eyes.
However, the flying boat had just flown to a position that was still more than ten miles away from Gufeng Mountain. Before Song Qingyu and others could see clearly, a huge white cloud quickly rolled over from the other side of the sky, swallowing up the gray flying boat. Got into it.
"Old ghost Qian, I know you must be hiding around here. Since I'm here today, you should just stay in the sky and leave the following matters to these juniors."
The old man surnamed Qian in the white cloud looked at a young man in white who suddenly appeared in front of him. His face instantly became a little serious. He secretly transmitted a message to the several foundation-building monks on the flying boat: "You go and help first." Qiu Long and the others, please remember not to be wary and return directly to Nanyun Mountain after destroying the mineral veins.”
As soon as the old man surnamed Qian finished speaking, he quickly took out a small golden sword in his hand. The golden sword rose with the wind and suddenly turned into a giant sword four to five feet high. Then the giant sword moved towards Qian The old man swung his side violently, and the white cloud that had enveloped the flying boat was instantly cut into a huge gap.
"Go quickly!"
Hearing this sound coming into their ears, the people standing on the flying boat quickly jumped towards the gap, turning into a few rays of light and flying directly out of the white clouds. After escaping from the cage, this A few people didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly went straight to Gufeng Mountain with their magical weapons.
The people who were still fighting on the mountain only saw the white cloud suddenly covering the approaching flying boat. They didn't know what was happening there. They only saw five or six figures flying through the clouds towards this side quickly. .
These figures were all wearing black clothes, and they looked like they were with the big man in black. After arriving at Gufeng Mountain, these people quickly began to help them contain the monks from the Minghe Sect.
Song Qingyu and He Mengxin teamed up to fight against a black-clothed monk. They were already beating the opponent hard. Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man with a sixth-level cultivation suddenly appeared and stopped the two of them. people.
This middle-aged man was obviously much more powerful than the previous one. Relying on a sharp broadsword in his hand, he fought back and forth with He Mengxin and was not at a disadvantage.
Seeing that the other party had a high level of cultivation, He Mengxin hurriedly sent a message to Song Qingyu secretly, saying: "This man has a high level of cultivation. Qingyu, be careful and don't be careless."
He Mengxin fought with the middle-aged man while reminding Song Qingyu, but Song Qingyu seemed not to hear her words. He was just standing in the air and staring blankly at a battlefield not far away.
At that location, three foundation-building cultivators from the Minghe Sect were besieging two people from the other side. One of them was a horse-faced old man with a high level of cultivation and had reached the late stage of foundation-building. He was the main force on the battlefield. The other was a woman with a half-covered veil. She looked young and had a low level of cultivation. She was only at the third level of foundation-building. It was obvious that she had not been building her foundation for a long time.
After the old horse-faced old man forced back several people from the Minghe Sect, he saw that the leader Xu Qiulong was being besieged by several people from the Minghe Sect, so he quickly came to his side to help him share some of the pressure.
"Junior Brother Wang, why didn't the ancestor come?"
The black-clothed man was a little surprised when he saw that only a few foundation-building cultivators came to help. He had just seen the flying boat used by the ancestor, but it was only a few foundation-building cultivators under his command who didn't want to help.
The horse-faced old man did not directly answer the question asked by Xu Qiulong, but secretly transmitted the message: "The ancestor has ordered us to activate the formation arranged in the spirit vein before, blow up the spirit mine and retreat to Nanyun Mountain."
"What! Do we have to blow up this mine now?"
Xu Qiulong, who was very excited in the battle just now, heard the words of the horse-faced old man approaching him, and his face immediately changed. He couldn't believe the order he heard.
"Junior Brother Xu, the ancestor has been entangled by the Jindan ancestor of Minghe Sect and cannot get out for the time being. We can't defend this place today by ourselves. We should make a decision early. If we lose the mine to Minghe Sect in the future, it will be difficult to explain if the ancestor blames us." Seeing that the black-clothed man was still hesitant, the horse-faced old man suddenly raised his voice a little, and quickly urged him to obey orders. While the two were talking, several more Qi-refining monks and a foundation-building companion fell into the hands of the other party. "Okay! Notify everyone immediately and prepare to retreat." After Xu Qiulong's giant sword quickly forced back the two Minghe Sect monks who besieged him, he suddenly put away the giant sword in his hand, took out a golden talisman from the storage bag, and began to recite it in his mouth. "Not good, this is the Zhenjin Talisman, go and stop him!" When everyone on the Minghe Sect saw the golden talisman in Xu Qiulong's hand, their faces suddenly changed. Tao Hede, who had already recognized the power of this talisman, shouted and ordered everyone to stop the other party from casting spells. However, the black-clothed monks were naturally well prepared. Soon, the four or five foundation-building monks closest to the black-clothed man came towards him and quickly formed several defenses to protect him.
When they took this spiritual stone vein from Minghe Sect a year ago, they had already arranged some backup plans in the spiritual vein below. As long as the black-clothed man activated this third-level spiritual talisman given by the ancestor, not to mention the spiritual stone vein below, even the spiritual vein of Gufeng Mountain would be seriously damaged, and the spiritual vein grade would at least drop by one level.
Although the Minghe Sect had a large number of people, it was difficult to break through the defense of these people in a short time. Although everyone used all their means and magical powers, they still failed to stop the black-clothed man from shooting the spiritual talisman in his hand directly into the ground.
There was a deafening roar, and the entire Gufeng Mountain immediately began to shake violently. The Qi Refining cultivators who were still on the mountain and had not had time to escape suddenly began to lose their balance. Song Qingyu and other Foundation Establishment cultivators also immediately stopped fighting and began to fly far into the sky.
The Zhenjin Talisman used by the black-clothed man was a third-level spiritual talisman with a relatively ordinary effect. This talisman did not have much power against ordinary cultivators, but it was very useful for destroying spiritual veins.
Gufeng Mountain was originally a second-level upper-grade spiritual vein. Under the effect of the Zhenjin Talisman, the spiritual energy on the mountain has gradually become disordered. The spiritual energy in various spiritual veins has begun to leak violently out of the ground, and some of the Qi Refining cultivators who fell to the ground were washed down the mountain by the uncontrolled spiritual energy.
In a mine cave next to the spiritual vein of Gufeng Mountain, there are thousands of mortals hiding there who are mining spiritual stones. These people were originally arranged by Minghe Sect to mine spiritual stones here. After the Minghe Sect’s garrisoned monks took over the mine vein after being driven away by the black-clothed big man a year ago, they did not make things difficult for these mortals, and still let them help them mine spiritual stones as before.
This time, these mortals hiding in the mine cave thought they could avoid the battle between the immortals outside, but they did not expect that after a violent vibration in the cave, the entire mine cave began to collapse and fell into the mine cave like raindrops. The mortals hiding inside were killed and injured in an instant.
In the fight between cultivators, both sides generally do not take the initiative to vent their anger on mortals, but sometimes it is often just a momentary decision by a high-level cultivator. Unintentional actions will cause a large number of mortals to suffer innocently. This is also something that is difficult to control in the world of immortal cultivation. After all, even for a cultivator in the foundation-building period with low cultivation, thousands of mortals are too fragile in his eyes.
Seeing the mineral vein they had just obtained turned into a ruin in an instant, Tao Hede and other Minghe Sect monks were instantly furious. Looking at the black-robed monks who were escaping, they shouted loudly:
"These scum of the Tianxing Sect dare to destroy the spirit stone veins. They are really looking for death. I also ask all fellow Taoists to help. As long as we can kill the head of a foundation-building monk from the other side, I, the Minghe Sect, are willing to pay 3,000 spirit stones to use it as a weapon." Thank you and never break your promise.”
We had already helped the Minghe Sect to take over the spirit stone mine, and everyone had fulfilled their previous agreement. They had no obligation to help the Minghe Sect hunt down the escaped monks, but now that they heard what Tao Hede said, these people next to them The foundation-building monks he invited suddenly became agitated, and soon several rays of light followed the monks from the Minghe Sect and chased him out.
He Mengxin came here just for the Jade Dragon Pill. Now that the pill has been obtained and the agreement with the other party has been completed, she naturally does not want to continue to wade through this muddy water. When she was looking for Song Qingyu in the crowd, she found that She had already spotted one of the other monks and chased after him.
"Didn't you agree not to get involved in this matter before? What happened to this girl today? She is so desperate for the spirit stone. I didn't hear her say that she is short of spirit stones recently." Although there was some discomfort on her face. Explanation, but He Mengxin was still worried about Song Qingyu's safety, and hurriedly chased after him.
After Song Qingyu chased him dozens of miles away, he gradually got closer and closer to the target she was chasing. The monk who was escaping not far in front of him was the half-hidden monk she had been watching closely before. veiled woman.
The veiled woman turned around and looked at Song Qingyu, who was chasing after him, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. After a moment, a trace of emotion flashed in the woman's eyes, and she finally stopped on a flat ground in front of her.
Not long after, Song Qingyu, who was speeding towards her, quickly stood in front of her. Seeing that the other party seemed to have no intention of taking action, Song Qingyu looked at the other party closely and slowly said:
"This Taoist friend, do you still know me?"
The veiled woman looked at Song Qingyu expressionlessly, and then slowly lowered the veil on her face.
"Well! I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's really fate."
