Chapter 697: Confusing
Just when Duan Qing and the other two were in a stalemate with the black-robed man, the mysterious woman who had entered the underground palace suddenly raised her eyebrows and glanced at the black-robed man beside her.
Those ants actually noticed the change in the Five Elements Array and notified the Five Elements Sect!
Logically speaking, with this person's attainments in the array, it would be very easy for the three of them to enter the Earth Spirit Peak without anyone noticing.
This was also her original plan, and she had thought so before.
But according to the report of the black-robed man, it was obviously not the case!
It seems that someone wants to fish in troubled waters!
Thinking of this, the mysterious woman's mouth slightly grinned, revealing a weird smile.
Who is the fish and who is the fisherman is still unknown.
Some people just like to be smart!
…
In the passage of the Earth Spirit Peak, the black-robed man did not move, and Duan Qing and others did not dare to act rashly.
The four people were in a stalemate.
But suddenly, the black-robed man seemed to have received some order, and attacked the three people without saying a word.
His movements were so fast that they made people shudder with fear. Almost in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the three people.
Seeing the black-robed man move, Duan Qing did not hesitate at all. He immediately used the Suzaku Armor, held the Red Spirit Sword in his hand, and stepped forward to prepare for the enemy.
Huyan Heng and Luo Renjie also looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
However, it was strange that the black-robed man did not intend to attack Duan Qing in front of him, but bypassed Duan Qing and attacked Huyan Heng on the side of Duan Qing.
Such a situation made Duan Qing very surprised and he did not react for a while.
Facing the attack of the black-robed man, Huyan Heng raised his hand and punched the black-robed man in the opposite direction.
When he punched, the heavy ring on his wrist hummed, and it was obvious that he used all his strength.
At the same time, Duan Qing, who had come to his senses, immediately drew his sword and cooperated with Huyan Heng to slash at the black-robed man.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Huyan Heng hit the black-robed man with a punch and directly knocked him out.
Duan Qing's sword hit nothing awkwardly.
The black-robed man flew out for dozens of feet and landed steadily, as if he was not injured at all.
Seeing that the black-robed man was unharmed, Duan Qing was more certain that the man in front of him was at least a strong man in the Spiritual Life Realm.
He knew very well how powerful Hu Yanheng's strongest punch was.
No one below the Spiritual Life Realm could withstand his punch and remain unscathed.
He was invincible!
Duan Qing made a judgment in an instant and shouted to Hu Yanheng and Luo Renjie: "Quick, retreat!"
The two obviously knew that the black-robed man was powerful, and they retreated directly into the stone chamber without any hesitation.
Many of the stone chambers in Tuling Peak are protected by prohibitions.
Especially this kind of stone chamber with a giant spirit tree used for communication, the prohibition strength on it is even more terrifying.
At present, the only way for the three people to retreat safely is to hide in the stone chamber temporarily.
After the two retreated into the stone chamber, Duan Qing also put away his sword and flashed into the stone chamber.
As soon as Duan Qing entered the stone chamber, Luo Renjie immediately activated the talisman to close the stone door.
However, at this time, the black-robed man also chased outside the stone chamber.
Seeing that the stone door was about to close, the black-robed man waved his sleeves and shot out a black light, which penetrated into the stone chamber before the stone door closed.
The target of the black light was not any of Duan Qing and the other two, but the giant tree in the center of the stone chamber.
Before Duan Qing and the other two could react, the black light accurately hit the trunk of the giant tree.
With a crisp sound, the giant tree was instantly broken in half.
At the same time, the door of the stone chamber was completely closed, tightly closed.
The three of them looked at the broken giant tree, looked at each other, and their faces were ugly.
Especially Luo Renjie, his face was so gloomy that water could almost drip out.
Tuling Peak was invaded by outsiders, and he must report the matter to the Five Elements Sect as soon as possible.
He retreated into the stone chamber, on the one hand, to avoid the black-robed man’s edge.
On the other hand, he also wanted Shui Daozi to send support as soon as possible with the intention of reporting.
But now that the giant tree was destroyed, his plan was directly frustrated.
Luo Renjie walked to the giant tree without giving up, trying to use the half-remaining giant tree to communicate.
After trying for a while, Luo Renjie shook his head dejectedly and sighed helplessly: "The giant tree is destroyed!"
Duan Qing removed the Vermillion Bird Armor, his face heavy, and asked Luo Renjie: "Is there any other communication formation in Tu Ling Peak that can be used to communicate with the outside?"
"No, in the entire Tu Ling Peak, only the giant tree here can communicate with the Five Elements Sect!" Luo Renjie looked depressed.
Duan Qing also felt a headache when he heard this.
Now that the giant tree was destroyed and could not communicate with the outside, and there was the man in black robe outside, could he really wait for Shui Daozi to come here?
Thinking of the man in black robe, Duan Qing noticed that there seemed to be no movement outside the door.
Suddenly, Duan Qing realized something and hurriedly shouted to Luo Renjie: "Quick, notify Fellow Daoist Lin and others to find a place to hide!"
Luo Renjie reacted immediately and quickly took out the rumor jade slip and prepared to send a message to others.
Holding the message jade slip, Luo Renjie was stunned, and then his face became extremely ugly, and veins on his forehead bulged.
However, he still said in a deep voice to the message jade slip: "Junior sister, Tuling Peak has been invaded by outsiders, you quickly hide in the stone chamber and don't go out!"
After sending a message to Lin Ziyu, Luo Renjie did not send a message to others, but held the message jade slip, stunned.
Duan Qing felt that something was wrong and asked Luo Renjie: "What happened?"
Luo Renjie looked at Duan Qing and murmured, "Except for the junior sister, all the other junior brothers stationed at Tuling Peak are dead!"
Just now, he found that more than a dozen marks in his voice transmission jade slip had disappeared, all of which were the disciples of the Five Elements Sect currently stationed at Tuling Peak.
Dead!
Duan Qing was shocked.
Could it be that the black-robed man had killed the others before he came to find the three people, or did the black-robed man have accomplices?
In either case, it shows that the black-robed man was obviously prepared.
But Duan Qing couldn't figure out why the black-robed man came here to Tuling Peak and kill the disciples of the Five Elements Sect stationed there.
According to Lin Qiuheng, the black-robed man was the culprit of the ghost chaos in Lingzhou, and he had seen the black-robed man at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain with his own eyes.
If he was really the culprit of the ghost chaos, based on what he had done before, he should have gone to the densely populated mortal city, why did he come to the sparsely populated Tuling Peak.
You have to know that there are only a few people on the Earth Spirit Peak right now.
This is completely contrary to what he did before.
Suddenly, Duan Qing had a flash of inspiration and thought of something!
What if the black-robed man's target is not the mortal city, not the transformed ghosts, but the Earth Spirit Peak!
As soon as this thought came out, Duan Qing's mind immediately started to work rapidly, and the things that happened after arriving in Lingzhou flashed through his mind.
Lingzhou broke out in a ghost chaos, the Five Elements Sect asked for help, and the Earth Spirit City fell!
These things gradually connected in Duan Qing's mind.
