Alienated Martial Arts

On a sunny March afternoon, it suddenly rained heavily.

The whole world was completely white.

Cover everything.

Rainwater gathers into streams of water, automatically flowing from high places to low-lying areas.

But on Qingyu Mountain, the rainwater flowing down has a faint dark red color.

This is the location of the main mountain gate of Qingyu Sect, and a fierce battle is currently taking place.

Before the battle started, everyone from Qingyu Sect Master to the disciples below were in a state of surprise and confusion.

Because not long ago, they just heard about Beidi Qiuyue's name.

It was because of the forces affiliated with the sect that the Qiu family monks occupied the spiritual spring and reported the news to Qingyu Mountain. This was the first time I heard the name of Qiu Yue who came out of a remote and bitter place.

Originally, in the eyes of the Qingyu Sect, this level of dispute was just a child's play, not worth paying too much attention to.

All the problems can be easily solved by just sending two envoys from the Spiritual Spring realm.

However, the two sect envoys failed to come out of the mountain.

The Lingyuan monk from Qiuyue in the North has already arrived in front of Qingyu Mountain.

Its speed was completely beyond their expectations.

However, what was even more beyond the Qingyu Sect's expectations was the secret letter handed over by the Yu Qiu family.

The content written above is very simple, with only two points from beginning to end.

One is to make the entire sect surrender and believe in the Lord of Pain wholeheartedly.

The second is to release the Qingyu Mountain spiritual vein gathering place and put it under the control of the Lord of Pain.

This kind of unabashedly excessive demands was the first time I had seen it with my own eyes since the Qingyu Sect established its sect here.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the battle broke out.

When he saw Beidi Qiuyue's military flag for the first time, the Qingyu Sect monk's surprise and confusion reached its peak in an instant, and he even couldn't help but want to laugh.

No one expected that it would turn out to be a group of heavily armored soldiers, arranging in order to reach the foot of Qingyu Mountain.

The entire team was not surrounded by spiritual energy, and looked almost the same as an ordinary military formation.

Only one person did not smile.

He is the new disciple of the Qingyu Sect Master.

Whether it was his talent, his character or his will, Qing Ling was highly praised by the sect master. He even bluntly praised him more than once, praising him as the leader of the entire sect's younger generation.

Even several senior brothers and sisters who are immortals are completely unable to compare with him.

If the time is right, you can even achieve the achievements of the founder.

"Junior Brother Qingling, what's wrong with you?"

"Does your face look a little bad?"

At this moment, a soft female voice sounded, with a strong hint of concern.

Qing Ling did not respond, but just stared at the battle flag with the blood moon in the sky, faintly sensing the manic and violent aura hidden in it.

This aura even made him a little scared, and his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

In the process, some vague images came to mind, bit by bit breaking and disrupting his consciousness, turning it into something completely different.

"Junior Brother Qingling, are you sick?"

After a moment, the soft female voice asked again.

"Senior Sister Qingluo, there's nothing wrong with me. I just suddenly felt cold all over. I don't know what the reason was."

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm his complicated and chaotic thoughts.

"Then junior brother, please go back and rest first. Just leave the matters here to us."

Qing Luo smiled slightly, "With these reckless things, it doesn't take so much trouble to capture them."

Qing Ling was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

He took one last look at the battle flag with the blood moon in the sky, resisted the chaotic memories welling up in his heart, and turned around to walk in the direction of the sect.

At this moment, a shrill horn penetrated the rain curtain and continued to circle and echo at the foot of Qingyu Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the battle formation wearing heavy armor began to advance.

He quickly approached the Qingyu Sect monks.

In an instant, spiritual energy gathered in the void.

Countless cyan lights suddenly lit up.

Covering the military formation coming from the north.

Suddenly scarlet blood gradually rose.

It completely enveloped the entire Qiu family battle formation.

The Qingyu Sect's attack fell, and part of it was directly absorbed by the thick armor, but even the part that could penetrate it seemed to have no effect and could not stop the Qiu family's battle formation from pressing forward step by step.

Qing Ling suddenly stopped and looked back.

The originally confused eyes gradually became clear, shining with a deep light that resembled chaos.

"I abandoned my physical body and entered Taixu. After all, I was unable to maintain my spiritual clarity. The remnant soul of my true spirit fell into the rut. I can only find a way to escape from this state and search for the most important essence of Taixu."

"But I didn't expect that the monster would come so fast. Without its disturbance, I wouldn't wake up suddenly at this time."

"What I didn't even expect is that it has become so powerful. It's hard to imagine what kind of talent and qualifications it has that can make it so powerful in such a short period of time, with almost no bottlenecks."

boom! ! !

Suddenly there was a rumble of thunder.

Silver electric light breaks through the clouds, illuminating the dark sky.

The faces of the monks from the Qingyu Sect who participated in the battle suddenly changed. They stared at the bloody battle formation devouring the spirit essence, and then exploded with an even more ferocious momentum. Everyone lost their voices almost instantly and could not even utter a word.

A great monk in Lingquan Realm.

All of them were actually great monks in the Spiritual Spring Realm.

Qing Luo was in a state of despair, with an unbelievable look of fear on her face.

The military formation that she had just laughed at with disdain, thinking it was vulnerable, turned out to be that every soldier in it was a spiritual spring realm monk.

Especially the two old men carrying the flag in front and the young woman between the old men may have already broken through the spiritual spring and reached the realm of spiritual enlightenment that only the sect master can achieve.

A group of Lingquan realms, plus three Lingming realms, with such a terrifying strength level, even if the sect's mountain protection formation is activated, they may not be able to stop their advance and impact.

boom! ! !

The second thunder exploded, reverberating in Qingyu Mountain.

The leader of Qingyu Sect was alerted and personally led his elite troops out from deep inside the mountain gate.

As a result, before reaching the edge of the battlefield, he was enveloped by a sudden bloody light.

Everyone died instantly without saying a word, leaving only a large pile of blood mixed with the rain, dyeing all the mountain steps dark red.

The Qingyu Sect's defense line collapsed at this moment.

All the resisters were slaughtered, leaving only the monks who devoutly believed in the Lord of Pain alive.

Before that, Qing Ling, the closed disciple of the sect master, had already fled desperately without looking back, narrowly avoiding the subsequent search for the mountain.

Not long after, Bailu Mountain, which was as famous as the Qingyu Sect, was also swept by the bloody light and had to give up the underground spiritual spring that had been guarded for generations.

The peaceful years that lasted for a long time were blatantly broken by the monks from the remote north.

………………

……………………

Wow!

Qiu Mei crossed the swollen stream after the rain and soon arrived at the manor deep in Qiuyue Mountain.

Ever since the Qiuyue flag was raised and the Qiu family's battle array moved south, this place has been designated as a forbidden area that no one can approach. Except for her and the increasingly crazy Master Modu, not even the two ancestors of the Qiu family dared to cross the thunder pool. .

Not far from the entrance to the underground space, the stone tablet still stands on the ground.

A little closer is the Qiu family ancestral hall that has been vacated.

It seems no different than before.

Qiu Mei stopped in an open space and looked at the stone monument of his ancestral home quietly, trying hard to get rid of the illusions that were constantly distorting in front of his eyes, and let the memories gradually occupy all his thoughts.

Time passed little by little.

She smiled slightly.

Scenes from long ago came to mind.

Whenever the New Year comes, this is the busiest place, with carefree children like them playing various childish games to kill time.

But what has passed away will never come back.

Different choices made in the past will also lead people in completely different directions.

Whether it is herself, the Beidi Qiu family, or even the entire spiritual world, they are about to face a forced drastic change.

As for whether this change was good or bad, she thought she could understand it before, but as time went by and more and more spiritual springs came under control, she suddenly fell into confusion and couldn't understand it anyway. .

Qiu Mei slowly closed her eyes, an expression of sadness gradually appeared on her face.

Time passed little by little.

Clouds gathered in the sky and drizzle started falling again.

Qiu Mei came back to his senses at this moment.

She took one last look at the stone tablet ancestral hall, and her sad expression disappeared, returning to her indifferent and cold look, and she quickly sank into the dark and silent underground space.

Although this was not his first time in and out of this place, Qiu Mei was still surprised by the scenes before him.

The original silver spiritual veins have disappeared.

What replaced it was as black as ink, and scarlet blood that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

There are countless illusory snakes meandering around, and they have even broken through the limitations of spiritual veins, and more and more of them have begun to appear in the underground stone walls.

When she walked in it, it was as if she had entered the Abyss Blood Prison. There were ferocious and twisted scenes of horror everywhere, completely enveloping her whole body.

However, only here can Qiu Mei find true peace and calm.

But when you are in the outside world, although you no longer have this mountainous oppression, you will be harassed by increasingly heavy illusions.

What you see with your eyes, what you hear with your ears, and even what you perceive through your spiritual energy are completely different from the living world in other people's eyes.

She seemed to be living in a fog, and everything around her became illusory and distorted, affecting her perception all the time.

In addition, there was the dark void that seemed to be getting closer and closer, as well as the rotting corpses located deep in the void, making this illusion and distortion become weird and real, almost beyond the limit of what she could bear.

Qiu Mei walked slowly in the underground space.

As it gets closer and closer to the location of the spiritual spring, whether it is heavy fog, dark void, illusion, distortion, or weird reality, it gradually disappears under this increasingly strong oppression.

She let out a long breath, finally able to relax her mind and not be as tense as before.

At this moment, light footsteps sounded, slowly approaching from far away.

Qiu Mei stopped and bowed in that direction, "Praise for pain, Qiu Mei has seen the God of Mo Po."

"How's it going outside?"

The footsteps disappeared silently, and a weak and hoarse voice came from the darkness.

But Mo Du was not seen from the beginning to the end.

Qiu Mei straightened up and replied slowly, "Hui Mo Divine Envoy, there are already two spiritual lakes under our complete control where the nine main spiritual veins gather underground.

In the giant tree forest further to the south, the expeditionary force's war is about to cease. In this way, there will be another spiritual lake where spiritual veins gather. In addition, if many other branches meet spiritual springs, their number, location and other information will be in the attribute. Among the jade slips brought down. "

Having said this, she took out a piece of jade talisman from her sleeve and gently threw it into the depths of darkness.

There was a soft click.

A ray of green light quietly lit up, and the jade slip disappeared.

"The Lord asked me to tell you that you did a good job."

After a dozen breaths, Mo Du's voice sounded again, with a hint of smile.

Qiu Mei took a deep breath, straightened his clothes and bowed, "The pain is high, my Lord's will is what our swords point to, even if it costs everything, we must complete it with all our strength."

Speaking of this, she suddenly frowned slightly and looked at the bloody light that suddenly lit up on one side.

"God Envoy Modu, I remember that the God Lord once issued a decree, asking us not to be too anxious to open the divine pattern array. It is best to wait until we occupy more spiritual vein manifestation places, and then open it at the same time according to the situation. How? Is there already the unique light of the Divine Pattern Array here?"

"This is a task assigned to me personally by the Lord God. As for the specific reason, I don't know much about it."

Modu paused for a moment, and then spoke in a more speculative tone, "Perhaps the God Master wants to test whether the magic circle set up by our slaves is really usable. If there is any problem, he can also guide us in advance. Tweak and fix.”

"What the envoy of Modu God said makes sense."

Qiu Mei nodded slowly and began to carefully observe the operation of the magic circle.

Under the faint scarlet light, she saw more and more tentacle-like black shadows emerging from her spiritual veins, meandering on the stone walls of the underground space, and an inexplicable and strange thought suddenly came to her mind.

The Lord of Pain has never appeared again since he entered Qiuyue Lingquan retreat.

And as time went by, the places where the spiritual veins intertwined and converged were brought under control, and these looming black shadows all appeared inside. Could it be that across such a long distance, that person could actually transmit the power without loss? ?

If this continues, will all the places where the spiritual veins gather be collected and turned into the same weird situation as before?

What is the ultimate goal of the Lord of Pain?

What is the relationship between these black shadows and the Lord of Pain?

Qiu Mei thought silently, and suddenly recalled the person who once said that there were several issues that he had not thought clearly before the start of the retreat practice. When he found out, it had become inconvenient to move, so he helped the Qiu family monks become stronger. Form a battle formation to occupy more spiritual springs on his behalf.

Could it be said that these black shadows are the Lords of Pain?

That young man, after entering Lingquan retreat, turned himself into this indescribable appearance?

"What is Miss Qiumei thinking?"

Mo Du's voice sounded slowly from the darkness, with a hint of scrutiny and inquiry.

Qiu Mei looked away from the underground spiritual veins, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "What I said to the Divine Envoy Hui Mo, I was just thinking about the past, and suddenly I sighed with emotion."

"It is better to look forward to the future than to think about the past. Only by breaking through the fog of illusion can we see the ultimate reality."

"The Lord of God already knows your purpose of coming, and these are the words of proverb for you."

Mo Du said slowly, and a ray of blood-colored light flew out from the depths of darkness and landed in front of Qiu Mei.

"Remember this breath. It appeared between heaven and earth not long ago, and then disappeared. Your most important task now is to find it and mark it with this light."

Qiu Mei stretched out her hand to catch the ray of blood, and her heart couldn't help but move slightly.

A figure that seemed clear but somewhat fuzzy also appeared in front of her eyes. It was the closed disciple of Qingyu Sect whom she had come into contact with twice before.
