Text Chapter 285: Prelude to War (Part 2)

No one knows that at this moment, above Rongcheng, beyond the reach of the foundation-building monks and families, and beyond the reach of the highest limit of 12,000 meters for ordinary airliners, there is a majestic palace about 20,000 meters away. , is hidden in the sea of ​​clouds.

It is in the shape of a turtle. Here, the sunlight is particularly bright, shining on it and refracting countless rays of light. It's like coming to life, swimming in the sea of ​​clouds.

Qingtian Palace, Gu Songzhen's palace.

Main hall.

"How is it?" Ancestor Gusong asked casually, holding a cup of tea.

There was no one in the hall, but a rough voice echoed from the hall: "It's almost done, everything is set up."

"That's good..." Master Gu Song sighed and walked down slowly holding the tea cup. What he wanted to say finally turned into a long sigh.

"After all, we have been together for decades, how can a beautiful lady like you become a thief?" He looked to the north with a hint of loneliness in his eyes, and shook his head in a subtle way.

After a few seconds of silence, a rough voice spoke: "So your disciples? And those big families?"

Gu Song said nothing.

The voice said calmly: "Northwest, southwest, my lips and teeth depend on each other. This matter... the consequences are too serious. How many monks in Longsu Province... can survive? Even Nanzhou City must be completely rebuilt."

Still didn't speak. After a long time, Master Gu Song asked an irrelevant question: "Have you checked it clearly?"

"Of course." The voice also sighed: "In fact, rather than finding out clearly, it is better to say that since the great changes in Danxia Palace, the resurgence of the great demon's soul hidden in the first personality has been difficult to conceal at all. The Forbidden City The demonic energy in it...hehehe, others can't feel it, how can I not feel it if I am famous for being a monster?"

"If not, why would we forcefully blockade Longsu Province for half a year in the name of exploration?"

Gu Song finally spoke: "Confronting fellow Taoists of the same level... no time is too long to prepare. It's a pity..."

He glanced down with compassion: "The sacrifice is too great."

This time, it was the rough voice's turn that he did not speak. After a few seconds, he said: "On the 31st, at four o'clock in the morning, all those involved in this matter in Longsu Province evacuated. You take over and let the monks in Rongcheng rest for ten minutes. , it’s not difficult for you.”

"Can."

The rough voice asked again: "Your apprentice?"

"If circumstances permit, I will save his life." Gu Song said calmly.

The voice laughed loudly: "Old Niubi... You seem to be the nicest to your disciples among us, but in fact you are more indifferent than anyone else... Ever since you heard about the Qinglian magic, you have probably had the intention to kill it. Right? You also gave him a mountain guarding formation... and told Yuyangzi to send him "inside"? Has it really become a dead tree?"

Master Gu Song withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Riding a tiger, follow the trend. You should know that this time... it will definitely come. There is no better battlefield than here. Destroy an imperial capital, and destroy a Nanzhou, we will What are the options?”

"Do you think I am willing to watch such a promising apprentice die? If the war in Nanzhou is not completely triggered, how can it worry about the secret being discovered? How can it be possible to move Fengjia from the imperial capital to come here?"

His voice has become louder, and the hall is echoing: "Am I acting? For the Chinese cultivation world and a disciple, which one do you choose?! If he doesn't be the guide/fuse, who will!"

There was no answer. After a few seconds, the voice sighed: "Being your apprentice... nine lives are really not enough to die."

"I have said that if circumstances permit, I will definitely save his life! Unless he dies, this place will be his! Isn't this enough to risk your life? You go, I don't want to talk nonsense with you!" Gu Song The real man snorted coldly, turned his head away, and never turned around again.

Behind him, the voice smiled: "At that time...you still have the energy to save people? Old man, is it fun to deceive yourself...hehehe..."

The voice disappeared, and a hint of helplessness flashed across Gu Songzhen's eyes. After a long time, he sighed.

"Those who know me tell me that I am worried...those who don't know tell me what I want..."

"Thousands of years of practice and inheritance, someone must sacrifice, and someone must carry on the past and open up the future, but...what?"

Time passes day by day.

The 20th... there are only ten days left before Longsu Province is reopened to monks.

"Huh..." On the plane flying from the imperial capital to Rongcheng, a man frowned and yawned. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the afterglow of the evening dyed the horizon into a red glow. We will arrive at our destination, Chengdu, in just over an hour, and this boring flight can finally end.

However, at this moment, he suddenly found that... the TV board in front of him was put away. While they were frowning, one flight attendant quickly walked into the corridor and bowed sincerely to all the passengers.

"Dear passengers, due to unpredictable supernatural phenomena ahead, the plane will temporarily land at Kyungyang Airport and take off again in about three hours. We ask for your understanding of the inconvenience caused... Repeat: Dear passengers, Because there are unpredictable things ahead..."

On the plane, everyone who was napping got up. A woman frowned and said, "What? Grounding? Paranormal activity? Are you kidding me?"

"Yes! I have something urgent to do! An important meeting is waiting for me! How can the flight be suspended suddenly?!" A man in a suit said anxiously: "Does it have to be suspended? There is no other way? Transfer?"

"Sorry, sir." A flight attendant kept smiling: "According to the notice, all routes within 3,000 meters ahead are closed."

"What the hell?!" The man sat down with a fist in anger. What the hell is this reason? I have never heard of it! Supernatural phenomenon? ! Who knows if the plane is temporarily dispatched! This kind of service attitude must be complained when I go back!

However... his anger did not hesitate for long.

Because... the next moment, a dazzling red light appeared on the other side of the plane!

"Oh my God!!" A man with some gray hair suddenly put his face against the window, looking at the sky as if he had seen a god, his voice trembling: "Super, super, supernatural phenomenon... It's really a supernatural phenomenon!!!"

On the other side, all the people by the window leaned on the window and stared at one side in amazement. It was packed!

They saw... more than a thousand meters away from them... a red cloud column formed between the clouds below them and the clouds above them! It was like a tornado of clouds! Lightning bolts were running back and forth in the cloud column!

It was surging like a storm, and the wind in the sky shook the sea tide.

At this moment, the sky above and the clouds below were completely connected by the cloud column, surging like the sea, shaking like the tide, and red light like an explosion sprayed out from the cloud column, shining thousands of meters above the cloud with lightning!

At an altitude of 20,000 meters, Master Gu Song glanced down lightly, and then retracted his gaze without any concern.

"Get off the plane! Get off the plane quickly!!" On the plane, someone shouted hoarsely, and then everyone on the plane screamed! Even the well-trained flight attendants and flight attendants were all stunned!

"Get off the plane! Hurry!" "Captain, change the route!" "Oh my God... My God!! Is this the end of the world?"

No one knows what is happening on the plane. At this moment, Xu Yangyi and Chu Zhaonan stand in front of the window, looking at the sky solemnly.

Mortals can't see... At this moment, all the cultivators in Rongcheng look up at the sky.

Half an hour ago, all the clouds in the sky were agitated, and a giant cloud vortex with no end in sight slowly condensed in mid-air!

It took thirty minutes to condense. From the violent agitation at the beginning to the gentle rotation now, the cloud is still a cloud. The only difference is that in the eye of the vortex cloud, a terrifying spiritual pressure is constantly expanding in it!

Qishan Bottomless Cave, White Tiger Hall in the cave, Linghu Family on the hall. The head of the White Tiger Hall of the Linghu Family has already poked out of the clouds, looking at the cloud column that reaches the sky and the earth under the setting sun.

Above the tiger head with the character "王", an old man with white hair, leaning on a cane and wearing an ancient robe, climbed to the top of the mountain.

Under his feet, there was a vast sea of ​​clouds, and above his head, there was a red sky. This pillar of cloud was at the junction of Longsu Province and Xichuan Province.

The robe and snow-white eyebrows were blown by the wind. Next to him, there were two middle-aged men in Zhongshan suits, with golden vertical pupils and their hands in their pockets. The three people looked at the huge pillar of cloud with great solemnity.

Linghu family... the feared Linghu Sanhu!

"Here... Here..." The old man stretched out his arms and closed his eyes, as if to welcome this huge storm, and even more as if to embrace this bloody curtain. The voice was hoarse because of the coming bloodthirstiness: "Nanhuai Province, Jinling Zhao Family's Chaisang City... arrived..."

Xu Yangyi looked at the sky with an extremely solemn face. This terrifying spiritual pressure... This is not a natural phenomenon at all... It is a super-large teleportation, a space distortion caused by thousands of meters of teleportation!

Tianyu Palace, Baihetou, five old men in long robes and hairpins on their heads, standing in the air. With hooked eyes, staring at the cloud column.

The five elders of the Lou family. The highest authority of the Lou family!

Nine thousand monks, nearly six hundred guards, twenty-eight foundation-building monks, and two half-step golden elixirs!

"Chaisang City..." A bald old man opened his dim eyes: "It's really an old rival worth remembering..."

"Boom!!!" A thunderbolt that penetrated the sky and the earth, from Xu Yangyi, could only see a piece of red gold light above the clouds. He and Chu Zhaonan knew very well that it was the result of the completion of the teleportation array.

The next second... the clouds broke.

Above Xu Yangyi's head, a huge shadow quickly enveloped the entire Rongcheng!

It was not high, only 50 or 60 meters high. Compared with the towering white crane and the hundreds of meters high white tiger, it was not comparable at all.

But... it was half the size of Rongcheng!

"Boom boom boom..." A dark stone, with countless gray runes lingering on it, and on those walls, there were countless traces of magical powers, and gullies several meters deep spread on it, with an invisible atmosphere of killing. Holding the endless sea of ​​clouds, it slowly pressed down from the mid-air like a monster.

Xu Yangyi did not speak, and gently clenched the cup in his hand.

"This is Chaisang City." At this moment, the door was silently opened, and a low and familiar male voice sounded: "Jinling Zhao Family, this city was originally in Xunyang. It was dragged back to Jinling by the Zhao family as a trophy."

Xu Yangyi did not answer, because he had already seen it... As the city wall emerged more and more from the clouds... At least five hundred monks wearing black armor, stepping on the blue clouds, as cold as a sharp sword, slowly appeared with Chaisang City.

Huge pressure, huge city, like heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the Lingxiao Palace! The white clouds were like waves, broken by the huge city, and the corners of the houses and towers with carved beams and painted rafters, with a dead color, appeared in front of everyone little by little, and the lonely clouds appeared in front of everyone.
