Chapter 405: Shadow trapped in formation
Although Li Xiuchang had known for a long time that his senior brothers and sisters would return to Xianchen Sect, he still pretended to be embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee whether it will work."
"Thank you, brother!" Liang Daocheng looked grateful. As the leader of the Xianchen Sect, he was not such a person who did not understand etiquette. He immediately took out a storage bag and stuffed it into Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang glanced at the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness. Liang Daocheng was naturally not stingy in taking action. There were many spiritual stones in the storage bag.
However, Li Xiuchang had a rich net worth and had long looked down on this "mundane thing". He pushed the storage bag back and said with a straight face:
"Brother Liang, you are insulting me!"
Liang Daocheng was stunned, and for a moment he didn't notice that Li Xiuchang's address to him had changed from "Senior Liang" to "Brother Liang".
Liang Daocheng observed Li Xiuchang's expression to make sure that he was not too young, and then said with emotion: "I didn't expect there to be such an upright and noble person as you, brother, in the world, but it's hard to let your elders help in vain... …”
In order to win the help of Zhang Wanzhi and others, Yintian Sect and Dengxian Pavilion offered a lot of benefits, and he, Xianchen Sect, had to express his gratitude.
Liang Daocheng sent a message to Li Xiuchang and promised that as long as Zhang Wanzhi and others are willing to go to Xianchen Sect to help, they can let Zhang Wanzhi and others choose a treasure in the Xianchen Sect's treasure house.
"Except for a few special items in my Fairy Dust Sect treasure house, you can choose from all other treasures at will." Liang Daocheng said solemnly.
Li Xiuchang couldn't help but be moved. The Xianchen Sect had a profound foundation and there were many top-notch treasures in the treasure house. He was actually willing to open it up and let him choose, which showed Liang Daocheng's sincerity.
"Brother Liang is really willing to give up. With Brother Liang's words, I will definitely live up to his trust."
Liang Daocheng smiled and said: "Compared with the safety of the sect, those treasures that are left to eat ashes in the treasure house are just external possessions and are not worth mentioning."
Li Xiuchang walked over and communicated with several senior brothers and sisters for a while. Originally, Zhang Wanzhi and the others planned to leave here first and then return to Xianchen Sect to help secretly.
But now that Liang Daocheng took the initiative to invite them, they could help openly.
"The Xianchen Sect is so sincere, it's really hard to refuse such kindness." Zhang Wanzhi looked apologetic and expressed his apologies to Ping Tianzhen and the two supreme elders of Dengxian Pavilion.
Ping Tianren looked at Liang Daocheng and glared. The foreign aid he invited ended up making wedding clothes for the Fairy Dust Sect.
Liang Daocheng could only laugh along and quickly left with Zhang Wanzhi and others.
Along the way, Liang Daocheng and Zhang Wanzhi kept chatting and expressed their gratitude to Motu repeatedly.
Before, the Xianchen Sect was besieged by Tianxiang's love slaves, and the last demon lord had come to help. This was known to everyone in the Xianchen Sect.
Several people hurried on as quickly as possible and soon arrived near the Fairy Dust Sect.
"Guys, please wait here, I'll go back and arrange it first." Liang Daocheng said.
If he brought Zhang Wanzhi and others into the Fairy Dust Sect in a big way, those shadows might be disturbed.
He planned to go back and discuss with a few trustworthy Supreme Elders, and then prepare to deploy a formation to seal off the core area of the inner gate.
Mo Tu said: "There's no need to go to so much trouble. We'll just hide our cultivation and follow you in disguised as ordinary disciples."
Liang Daocheng said: "Our Fairy Dust Sect has strict rules. Whether you are the sect leader or an ordinary disciple, you must verify your identity token when entering the sect. Without an identity token, even I cannot take you in at will, and you must register. That’s it.”
We all have identity tokens... Li Xiuchang suppressed his laughter and suggested, "How about putting us all into the beast control bag?"
"This..." Liang Daocheng hesitated slightly, but agreed.
This actually violated the Xianchen Sect's sect rules. It was not good for a sect leader to take the lead in violating the sect rules. If he was found out later, he would be fined. However, for the safety of the sect, Sect Master Liang had no choice but to make an exception.
Zhang Wan knew: "Are you planning to set up a formation to block the core area of the inner gate? We have a friend who is very accomplished in formations. Maybe he can help?"
Liang Daocheng hesitated and said, "Is it too late to call him here to help?"
"It's not too late, we just happened to have a clone of him with us."
"Ah?" Liang Daocheng didn't know what to say for a moment, and he still brought something like this?
A bunch of you go out and carry someone else's clone with you?
In fact, Zhang Wanzhi and the others certainly don't have Chen Changsheng's clone, but this is the Fairy Dust Sect. Isn't it easy to get Chen Changsheng's clone?
Li Xiuchang and Zhang Wanzhi restrained their cultivation and were put into the beast-control bag by Liang Daocheng.
With the cultivation strength of a few people, they can easily break the beast control bag and rush out, and they can also detect everything in the outside world with their spiritual consciousness.
Liang Daocheng pretended to be unhurried and relaxed all the way, and flew into the core area of the inner gate of Xianchen Sect.
Then he went straight to a cave and knocked on the door.
After the door opened, there was an old man who looked like an immortal. This old man's name was Jiao Hong. He was one of the oldest elders in the Xianchen Sect. He was highly respected and respected within the sect.
"Why bother me in retreat?" Jiao Hong asked calmly.
Why don't you stay in seclusion? Didn't I see you outside the fairy shade yesterday... Liang Daocheng cursed in his heart.
Among the people who went to intercept the key to the mission list that day, Jiao Hong worked the hardest. Although everyone was disguised, Liang Daocheng still recognized Jiao Hong among the crowd at a glance.
It was Jiao Hong who asked him to return the Golden Light Seal to the Yintian Sect. Unexpectedly, he started to pretend to be serious again.
Liang Daocheng said angrily: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny and returned the Golden Light Seal to the Yin Tian Sect."
Elder Jiao Hong's face changed, and his two white beards trembled: "What are you talking about? What golden seal?"
The two people entered the house noisily, and as soon as they closed the door, Liang Daocheng's face suddenly became serious...
A moment later, Liang Daocheng left Jiao Hong's cave.
And Jiao Hong began to visit other great elders everywhere.
...
Xianchen Sect was as calm as usual, but under this calm appearance, there was an undercurrent.
A huge storm was brewing.
Some things were going on quietly.
For example, the great elder Chu Tianfan left the core area of the inner sect and called Chu Ya and other core disciples, saying that there was a task assigned to them.
Chu Tianfan was absolutely trustworthy, because this guy was timid and had never been to Xianyin.
Even when the beast tide broke out in Xianyin before, a large number of great elders of Xianchen Sect went out in full force, and Chu Tianfan was the one responsible for guarding the house.
In addition, he was weak in cultivation and was a lower-level immortal. If he stayed in the core area, he would be cannon fodder once a fight broke out.
So he was simply driven out in advance.
Some elders also took action quietly, collecting all the disciples and deacons who lived near the inner gate into the beast-controlling bags, and evacuated them collectively.
The top formation masters of the sect received a secret mission and entered the core area of the inner gate and took action quietly.
These formation masters were affixed with the immortal talismans from Li Xiuchang, and they were invisible and quietly arranged the formation.
Zhang Wanzhi threw out a clone of Chen Changsheng at the right time. Chen Changsheng relied on his outstanding formation attainments to quickly convince several chief formation masters of Xianchen Sect and became the leader.
The chief formation master of Xianchen Sect became a formation apprentice, helping Chen Changsheng. Under the leadership of Chen Changsheng, a super-strong immortal formation to trap the enemy was taking shape.
Li Xiuchang was not idle either. Knowing that a war might break out next, he secretly made a large number of Immortal Hidden Talismans and distributed them to the trusted Supreme Elders of Xianchen Sect.
Moreover, he could not intervene in the battle in the core area, but if a battle broke out in the outer gate area, he could still help.
It is impossible that only the Supreme Elders were replaced by shadows, there must be some elder-level figures.
However, these elders are relatively less threatening, so the four major immortal sects still give priority to dealing with the shadows at the level of the Supreme Elders.
After cleaning up the team of the Supreme Elders, it will be much easier to screen the team of elders.
But by the same token, once the shadows know that their identities have been exposed, the elder-level shadows will definitely flee at the first time. Unlike the shadows at the level of the Supreme Elders who may cause trouble, the elder-level shadows generally do not have the courage to do so.
Because with their cultivation strength before becoming immortals, they can easily be captured alive.
Li Xiuchang plans to deal with these escaped elder-level shadows at that time.
For such a big event, his original body and blood diamond clone also came out of retreat, but he still arranged for a clone to put on the Immortal Hidden Talisman to watch the battle near the core area of the inner gate.
...
"When will we start?" The invisible Li Xiuchang asked the brothers and sisters who were also invisible around him.
A group of them put on the Immortal Hidden Talisman and waited near the core area.
Chen Changsheng's clone said: "The main part of the formation has been completed. Now it is just some icing on the cake. It is enough, but we are not in a hurry. If they don't move, we won't move."
Every minute and every second of time is precious. We can use this time to transfer more disciples away.
Therefore, as long as the shadows don't move, they will also stay still.
At this time, one after another figures appeared in the fairy shade. Their bodies were born from the shadows and condensed by the shadows. Everyone was naked and had nothing.
If Li Xiuchang was here, he would find that everyone's face was familiar.
These are the shadows that they killed recently. Every once in a while, they will be resurrected collectively.
However, the locations where these people were resurrected were not fixed, but scattered all over Xianyin.
As soon as they appeared, the shadows gathered towards a certain area of Xianyin in tacit understanding.
This was a temporary base that they had agreed on long ago, and some things they would need after resurrection were hidden here.
They dug up the soil, broke the seal of the formation below, and took out a storage bag.
Someone took out a sound transmission talisman from it and began to pass on the message...
The core area of the inner sect of Xianchen Sect, where the Supreme Elders lived, was rarely visited on weekdays. The Supreme Elders had been in seclusion for a long time, making this place the quietest place in the entire Xianchen Sect.
However, the Supreme Elders who were in seclusion woke up one after another at this moment.
They were communicating something secretly and did not act rashly.
After a while, a Supreme Elder came out of seclusion and flew outside.
His move attracted the attention of many people.
This was just a supreme elder with human immortal cultivation. The Xianchen Sect's strong men who were waiting in the dark hesitated for a moment and did not stop him, but they also sent people to follow him quietly.
If this supreme elder was a shadow, he should have been sent out to test him.
The supreme elder went out of the inner gate, flew to the outer gate, and flew out of the sect.
He left the Xianchen Sect and flew far away, holding a sound transmission talisman in his hand.
If there was any abnormality, he would send the news back.
However, the supreme elder of the Xianchen Sect who followed him secretly was not in a hurry at all. He was just a human immortal. It didn't matter if he let him run away. It was worth it as long as he could paralyze the other shadows in the sect.
After this shadow immortal left Xianchen Sect, he used a sound transmission talisman to report his safety to his companions in Xianchen Sect.
So a moment later, another supreme elder of Xianchen Sect broke through the barrier and flew out of the sect gate.
"Are you trying to transfer them all one by one?" Zhang Wanzhi sneered.
Now it is basically certain that these supreme elders who have taken action are all shadows!
However, the one who is leaving this time is a heavyweight figure, which makes the strong men of Xianchen Sect feel shocked and unacceptable.
"I didn't expect that even Elder Park was replaced!"
"It has been more than 500,000 years since Elder Park came back from the upper realm, right? When was he replaced?"
Elder Park has the cultivation of a golden immortal, is highly respected, and is one of the real decision-makers of Xianchen Sect.
The human immortal just now was just a small test. Now Elder Park has taken action himself, which is coercion.
If a human immortal is let go, it will be let go, but what about a golden immortal?
Let's see if you, Xianchen Sect, dare to let him go?
If you dare to let him go, he will run away!
Elder Jiao Hong of Xianchen Sect decisively ordered: "Start the formation!"
He dared to release the shadow with human immortal cultivation because he was sure that he could control it quickly and was not afraid of what the other party would do.
But he did not dare to gamble with Elder Pu, who had the cultivation of golden immortal.
Otherwise, if he could release him and move the battlefield outside Xianchen Sect, it would be a good thing.
The formation was activated, and Elder Pu was blocked.
Some other shadows who were secretly observing saw this scene and their hearts sank, knowing that there might be a fierce battle today.
They guessed that Xianchen Sect might take action, but they did not expect Xianchen Sect to be so strong that they actually used the formation to block the core area and trap them. Was it planning to catch them all in one fell swoop?
"Jiao Hong, what do you mean?" Elder Pu looked cold and looked at Jiao Hong who appeared.
"There is a traitor in my Xianchen Sect. We need to investigate. Elder Pu will cooperate."
"What do you mean? I have worked hard for the sect for hundreds of thousands of years. You suspect I am a traitor?"
Jiao Hong sighed: "Stop pretending. When did you replace Elder Pu?"
Elder Pu did not answer, but suddenly exerted force and attacked the formation.
The formation shook violently, and the ground shook, which made the disciples in the Xianchen Sect aware of it.
Although the formation arranged by Chen Changsheng was powerful, it was short of time after all. It could block the attack of the Golden Immortal, but it was impossible to block the continuous attack of the Golden Immortal.
However, with so many strong people in the Xianchen Sect, it was enough to stop these shadows, and there were also a large number of formation masters outside to repair the formation.
Elder Pu directly attacked the formation, which also forced Jiao Hong and others to take action.
Jiao Hong had to leave, and joined forces with several other Xianchen Sect's supreme elders to force Elder Pu back.
The huge fighting noise completely awakened all the retreating great elders in Xianchen Sect.
"What happened?" Some great elders didn't know the specific situation, and when they opened their eyes, they thought the enemy had come to the inner gate. (End of this chapter)
