Chapter 678: Lu Gong
All along the way, the group was unstoppable and encountered almost no major trouble.
This made Duan Qing feel very strange.
According to Yu Fan and Wu Fang, they were blocked by ghosts during the breakout, which is why they were separated from the rest of their fellow disciples.
You should know that Yu Fan and Wu Fang are disciples of Tiangong Sect and Huanjian Sect respectively, and their sects are both one of the seven super sects in the Central Plains.
Logically speaking, the aid teams of Tiangong Sect and Huanjian Sect should be much stronger than Tianyun Sect.
Why are the two sects as strong as being dispersed by ghosts, but they are able to move forward so smoothly?
Thinking of this, a faint sense of foreboding lingered in Duan Qing's heart.
And as they got closer to the north gate of Diling City, this feeling became stronger.
When they were less than ten miles away from the north gate of Diling City, Duan Qing gradually found that there were fewer and fewer ghosts in front of him, and there were only a few dozen ghosts on the stone bridge connecting the traffic hub.
Of course, these were just living ghosts.
On the road, piles of ghost debris were piled up, almost raising the ground by one level.
This situation indicated that someone had already broken through this road before everyone else, and had experienced a fierce battle.
The ghost debris everywhere made everyone present feel extremely depressed.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but become uneasy.
If the person who broke through in front succeeded, it would undoubtedly clear the road for everyone in advance, and the possibility of everyone leaving Diling City would certainly be much greater.
But if the person in front failed to break through, then what was waiting for everyone in front was self-evident.
Since about five miles away from the north gate of Diling City, Duan Qing and others have not encountered a ghost. All they can see along the way are countless ghost debris and traces left by various magic.
Even among them, occasionally you can see the remains of monks.
Seeing this scene, a sense of sadness can't help but grow in everyone's hearts.
With a heavy heart, everyone walked forward for a while, but suddenly found that someone had set up a formation in front of them.
A huge elliptical light curtain covered an area of about one mile in front.
And outside the formation, there were two monks stationed.
The two stationed monks were both wearing mechanical armor similar to that of Yu Fan.
One of the stationed monks saw Duan Qing and his group, looked around at everyone, and shouted first: "Please tell me your name!"
Wu Zhongze walked in the front, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "I am Wu Zhongze, the deputy head of Tianyun Sect, leading the people of Tianyun Sect to go to Wuxing Sect for help."
"It turned out to be head Wu, I'm sorry!" Hearing that it was Tianyun Sect, the stationed monk's expression eased a little.
"Senior Brother Tang Yuan, Senior Brother Liu Gan, it's my junior brother Yu Fan!" At this time, Yu Fan walked out of the crowd and looked at the two with a look of surprise.
"Junior Brother Yu, you are not dead yet!" The two were also very surprised to see Yu Fan.
"Lucky to meet an old friend and be able to come all the way here!" Yu Fan said with emotion.
After that, he asked the two of them: "Why are the two brothers stationed here? Where are Uncle Lu and the others?"
"This is not a place to talk. Junior Brother Yu and Sect Master Wu should enter the formation first!" As he said that, Tang Yuan of Tiangong Sect immediately offered a talisman and opened a gap in the light curtain.
"Please, Sect Master Wu." Tang Yuan made a gesture of invitation and walked into the light curtain first, as if he was ready to lead the way for Wu Zhongze.
Wu Zhongze didn't waste any words and followed Tang Yuan into the light curtain.
After Duan Qing and others all entered the formation, Liu Gan, another person stationed in Tiangong Sect, also offered a talisman to close the opening on the light curtain and continued to guard alone.
Seeing that Tang Yuan and Liu Gan of Tiangong Sect were so cautious, Duan Qing felt more and more uneasy.
Under the leadership of Tang Yuan, Duan Qing and his party came to a large courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, Duan Qing found that there were many monks standing or sitting in the courtyard.
Many monks were dressed in different clothes, obviously from different sects. At first glance, there were at least hundreds of people.
Among them, there were the Tiangong Sect members wearing mechanical armor, and the Huanjian Sect members with the Huanjian Sect logo embroidered on their collars and carrying flying swords. The largest number of them added up to about a hundred people.
Among the hundreds of people present, the lowest cultivation level was the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm, and there were even more people in the Spiritual Sea Realm.
There were even a few people whose cultivation level Duan Qing could not see through at all.
Duan Qing simply glanced around the courtyard and actually saw a few familiar faces among them.
Huyan Heng and Liu Wanhan from the Wuxiang Sect, who had been separated from him in the Tongtian Tower, were standing on one side of the courtyard.
In addition, Zhaixing, a person Duan Qing hated very much, was also in the crowd.
Seeing Huyan Heng and Liu Wanhan, Duan Qing felt a little relieved.
It seemed that the two were lucky. They should have been randomly teleported to the north of Diling City and were relatively close to the north gate, so they arrived before him.
Hua Ying's task was to accompany the two to the Five Elements Sect and hand over the storage bracelet to Shui Daozi.
If anything unexpected happened to the two, he would have a hard time explaining himself.
As for Zhaixing, Duan Qing simply ignored him.
In the wasteland, he had long been fed up with this idiot.
In the crowd, a middle-aged fat man with a goatee, less than five feet tall, who looked like Zhaixing, a bald boy, but as wide as A-di, walked up slowly and looked at Duan Qing and his group.
Seeing the fat man with a goatee, Yu Fan stepped forward first, bowed respectfully to him and said, "Yu Fan greets Uncle Master Lu!"
"You are lucky, kid Yu! Not bad!" The fat man with goat beard smiled, stroked his beard on his chin, and nodded slightly.
Wu Zhongze secretly looked at the fat man with goat beard, showing a thoughtful look.
Then, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly bowed to the fat man with goat beard and said: "May I ask if you are Senior Lu Gong of Tiangong Sect?"
"Yes, it is me." The fat man with goat beard admitted directly.
"Junior Wu Zhongze of Tianyun Sect, meet Senior Lu!" Wu Zhongze looked respectful, and was a little shocked in his heart.
She didn't expect that Tiangong Sect actually sent Lu Gong here!
You must know that Lu Gong has a high seniority in Tiangong Sect, has a deep attainment in the field of machinery, and is also proficient in the field of formations. He is a famous formation master in the Central Plains.
Long before she ascended to the position of deputy head of Tianyun Sect, Lu Gong was already a great power in the spiritual realm.
Now, after many years, it is really hard to imagine how far Lu Gong has cultivated.
"It's Master Wu. I wonder how young friend Qingyunzi is doing these days!" Lu Gong asked casually with his eyes narrowed into a line.
"Thanks to you, my husband is fine!"
Lu Gong nodded slightly. "Have all your people from Tianyun Sect arrived?"
"Senior Lu, all fifteen of us from Tianyun Sect are here!" Wu Zhongze replied without thinking.
"Yes, that's right. Master Wu and his group can help us break through and increase our chances of winning!" Lu Gong nodded while stroking his goatee.
Break through!
Hearing this, Wu Zhongze's expression changed slightly and asked Lu Gong: "May I ask Senior Lu, why are so many people gathered here?"
