Fairy Tree

After the white-haired old man finished all this, his expression suddenly changed, and he saw a black halberd falling from the sky and shooting in his direction.

With a wave of the white-haired old man's sleeves, a thunderous shield suddenly appeared in front of him. The surface of the shield, which was several feet in size, was flashing with dense lightning runes.

"Boom~"

There was a loud noise, and the halberd was pierced directly on the shield, and a large amount of black demonic energy exploded and spread in all directions.

But then the white-haired old man's face turned pale, and he saw a ball of black demonic energy shoot directly through the shield and onto the rock behind him, and then disappeared silently into the rock. .

"Jie Jie, now you are my food, and you will be swallowed up by me." The black demonic energy in the sky gathered in mid-air, turned into a human body, and grabbed the old man with one hand from a distance.

A black demonic hand dozens of feet long grabbed the white-haired old man from the air.

There was no color on the face of the white-haired old man. He pinched the magic formula with both hands. The nine-mouthed thunder sword floating beside him suddenly burst into lightning. The lightning entangled together and turned into a thunder ball, shooting towards the black magic hand. passed.

Under the lightning, it exploded directly and turned into thunder light all over the sky. However, the black magic hand shook slightly and exploded a large amount of magic energy, blocking the thunder light. However, the black magic hand continued to grab the white-haired old man. .

The white-haired old man's eyes flashed with despair, and his heart was desolate. At this moment, all the past events emerged one by one in the sea of ​​consciousness.

He thought of his high spirits when he was young and his hard work in middle age. Until now, he has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, but it is impossible to go further. That's why he took over the guarding seal of the Cold Valley Forbidden Land. The mission is precisely to retreat here and hit the bottleneck of Nascent Soul's peak.

However, after hundreds of years of hard training, I still can't take that step. I feel unwilling to think that my path to immortality will stop here in this life.

Thinking of this, the old man's eyes suddenly burst into absolute light, and a long thunder knife beside him went directly towards his neck. He was already planning to break up his troops, release the Nascent Soul, and self-destruct to die with this monster, even if You can't kill him, at least let him be seriously injured. You can't do evil in a short period of time to buy time for the sect.

"Demon, don't be so rampant." Suddenly a loud voice shook the world, and a white light suddenly broke through the dark clouds in the void, rushed down from the sky, and directly hit the black demon hand.

The black magic hand and the white light collided together, and suddenly exploded, turning into black magic energy that filled the sky and spread everywhere.

The white light also spread, dispersing the dark clouds in the valley, and then revealed its true form, which turned out to be a sword radiating cold light, shining with pure white light.

"Aura of awe-inspiring power?" the man in black robe said in a solemn voice, and the scene from that year immediately appeared in his mind. The scene from that year had long been shattered in his sea of ​​consciousness, but his memory was still fresh. It seemed that it was this white light back then, It was only after he was shaken away by his demonic energy that his body was chopped off, leading to his current fate.

The sword suddenly turned into a white light, shot into the void, and fell into the hands of an old man in a white robe with gold patterns. Behind him, there were two people standing side by side. The aura emanating from these three people made the black robe People are also secretly frightened.

"Join the three chief elders." The white-haired old man stopped fighting at the critical moment. After seeing the true face of the visitor, he suddenly showed a look of joy, and at the same time, he also felt a sense of weakness that he had survived a desperate situation.

"Junior Brother Zhao, thank you for your hard work. Please go aside and adjust your breathing for a while. Leave this demon's remnant soul to me."

"Jie Jie, yes, three decent ones came at once, but I have just recovered a little strength, so I don't want to fight with you. I will let you go for now. The day when he makes a comeback, you will be killed by Jiuyou. time."

After speaking, a large amount of black demonic energy erupted from his body.

"Don't leave, demons." The sword in the leader's old man's hand burst out with a white light, directly cutting into the demonic energy, cutting the demonic energy into pieces, but the figure of the black-robed man in the demonic aura had already disappeared.

"Senior Brother Wang, although this demon only has one soul and one soul, the magical powers and secrets it performs come from the upper world and are extremely mysterious. It seems that he has escaped through some kind of magical power."

"Hey, I didn't expect that this monster would be born one day. It seems that our Middle-earth has been peaceful for too long, and there will be trouble again."

"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Song, Junior Brother, I think you are too worried. This demon only has one soul left, and its strength has recovered less than 10%. Now we have failed to break the cold valley seal. Let's take a moment. Later, he mobilized his disciples and set up a heaven and earth net. Even though the country is huge, there may not be a place for him to stay. "

"Junior Brother Li, don't be too pretentious. This demon's ambition is not just to fuse his own three souls and seven souls. In all likelihood, it comes for the Dragon Spirit Illusion. In recent days, for some unknown reason, those from the Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect of the West Pole have The monk has begun to look covetously at my Daqian Dynasty again, which has involved a lot of our energy. Now that this demon has appeared again, I really feel that I cannot take care of everything at the same time. "

"What Senior Brother Wang said is true. We should go back immediately to report it to the Sect Master. In addition, should we burn incense, pray, and tell these uncles about this matter?"

"Senior Brother Song, some trivial matters will alarm several junior uncles. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

Hearing this, Senior Brother Wang waved his hand and said: "Whether I want to report to the Senior Uncles or not, it still needs to be decided by the Sect Master. Junior Brother Song, it is better for you to guard this place for the time being. After I report it to the Sect Master, we will see how the Sect Master handles this matter." ”

"Senior Brother Wang, don't worry. Song is guarding this place. Even if the demon turns back, it will definitely not succeed."

"Junior Brother Song's awe-inspiring spirit is not inferior to that of my brother in terms of realm. It won't be a problem to suppress this demon, so we will leave first."

After saying that, the leader of the old man waved his sleeves and robes, and under the flash of white light, he and the monk surnamed Li disappeared without a trace.

While the three of them were talking, the white-haired old man stood uneasily below, saying nothing and not meditating to recover his mana.

The monk surnamed Song waited until the two left and then glanced at the white-haired old man: "Junior brother Zhao, you'd better return to the sect first and nurse your injuries, especially junior brother's state of mind, which is already showing signs of collapse. It's better to nurse him back. Otherwise, I may not be able to reach the realm of a great monk in this life.”

When the white-haired old man heard this, he sighed softly. He knew that what the monk surnamed Song said was true. After this experience, he indeed found that there was a big problem in his state of mind.

He actually showed his cowardice in front of the demon. This is indeed very dangerous for him who has practiced the Haoran Xuanzong method. This is not only related to whether he can advance to the rank of great monk in the future, but also related to his future cultivation. , will it go crazy?

He couldn't help but think of Senior Brother Yin, who was still lying on the bed now. It was precisely because of his mental state that he forcibly practiced Haoran Xuanzong's Heart Art. The elixir saved his life, but in reality he was no different from a dead person.

The white-haired old man cupped his hands towards the monk surnamed Song, turned around and left silently.

The monk surnamed Song looked at the white-haired old man leaving, and just sighed, then landed on the rock platform and sat down cross-legged.

...

The news that the demon broke into the Hangu forbidden area did not spread. After the white-haired old man returned to the sect, he returned directly to the cave and closed himself in death.

As for the death of the eight second-generation elders, the news was blocked by the senior officials of the Emperor Haoran Tianzong, so it did not spread among the lower-level disciples.

The entire Haoyang Mountain is still very peaceful.

But this peace was broken thirty years later. The Daqian Dynasty and the Xiji Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect fought again. The Xiji Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect encouraged the secular army to invade the border of the Daqian Dynasty. The battle was extremely brutal. .

Both sides invested more than 10 million soldiers, and tens of thousands of soldiers died every day.

But for the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, these did not even make a splash. The Daqian Dynasty had hundreds of millions of soldiers, and such secular wars would happen almost every few decades. For immortal cultivators, It’s not surprising anymore.

After fighting for several years, both parties will naturally retreat and recuperate after losing a lot of energy.

However, ten years later, this war not only showed no signs of stopping, but instead intensified. In the end, many immortal cultivators even participated in it.

Suizhou, the western border of the Daqian Dynasty, was plunged into war, and many immortal cultivators supported by the Daqian Dynasty began to join the battlefield. In the end, the true emperor of the Daqian Dynasty even sent people to the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong to request reinforcements.

This made many chief elders of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong unable to sit still. In the past, the wars launched by the Ancient Buddha Tianzong in the West were mostly for the purpose of occupying land to develop believers and spread their faith.

After seeing that the resistance of the Daqian Dynasty was extremely strong, most of them chose to retreat. After all, the area controlled by the Ancient Buddha Celestial Sect of the West Pole was also vast. The only shortcoming was that the population was relatively sparse.

Therefore, they have been eyeing the Daqian Dynasty with a large population.

On Haoyang Mountain, a peak nearly ten thousand feet high, stands a simple white hall. This is the center of power of the Emperor Haoran Tianzong and the pillar of the entire Daqian Dynasty.

At the end of the steps of the main hall, stood an old man in his fifties in a white robe. On the snow-white robe, the cuffs and collar were embroidered with golden threads, and on his chest, there was a golden cloud embroidered. Very conspicuous.

Under the steps, there were three people standing. One of them was wearing a purple python suit and an official hat, standing with his hands behind his back. On the side next to him, there were two people, one of whom was clearly the one standing in front of him. The old man surnamed Wang appeared in the forbidden area of ​​Hangu.

The other person is a middle-aged monk in his forties, also wearing a white gold robe, but like the old man named Wang, the golden clouds on his chest are obviously much smaller.

"Sect Master, the bald donkeys from the West are coming this time. Not only have there been many wild monks, but there are also at least dozens of people in the early stage of Prajna in the Arhat Golden Body. These people are specially designed to deal with our tens of thousands of generals or more. "General, we have lost more than a dozen generals so far."

"If that's all, His Majesty the True Emperor will naturally not send his disciples here. In fact, the True Emperor has judged that at least three of the golden bodies of Buddha Lotus Bodhisattva at the Bodhi stage have also arrived."

"The golden body of Buddha Lotus Bodhisattva in the Bodhi stage?"

The monk surnamed Wang next to him had a stern expression on his face: "This is equivalent to the existence of our immortal monks. Even these existences have entered the territory of our Daqian Dynasty. Could it be that the Ancient Buddha Tianzong of the West wants to start a full-scale war with us? Can’t do it?”

"Senior Brother Wang, those bald donkeys in the West have been coveting my ancestral land of the Dragon Veins of the Middle Earth for a day or two. Maybe they have stronger wings now and feel they can defeat us, so they launched this attack brazenly."

"Zhuo Bangyan, I wonder what Junior Brother Ji thinks of the invasion of the Xiji Ancient Buddha Tianzong this time?" The Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong Sect Master on the steps had been silent all the time. After Zhuo Haoran finished speaking, he stroked his three long beards and asked lightly.

"His Majesty the True Emperor has a different opinion."

"Oh? Zhuo Bangyan, since the True Emperor has a different opinion, why didn't he say it earlier?" Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Wang immediately showed a dissatisfied expression.

"Brother Wang, calm down. His Majesty the True Emperor is just guessing. Since the Sect Master asked, Zhuo will naturally tell you in detail."

After a pause, Zhuo Haoran continued: "This time, the Xiji Ancient Buddha Tianzong was originally launched by the many Buddhist countries in the Western Regions as usual, but a few years ago, people from the Xiji Ancient Buddha Tianzong suddenly intervened, and the direction of their attack was also from Suizhou to the east. They were supposed to enter Luzhou and use it to capture Luzhou City, so that they could control the two states."

"But in the Xiji Ancient Buddha After the Tianzong's intervention, the Buddhist army suddenly turned north and marched straight into Youzhou. Our Daqian Dynasty naturally resisted with all its might, but we did not expect that the people of the Xiji Ancient Buddha Tianzong would not hold back this time. The armies of the major Buddhist countries were surprisingly fearless and had already penetrated into the Beihuang Mountain in Youzhou. As long as they crossed the Beihuang Mountain, they would be able to reach the capital of Youzhou, Langyan City. "Hearing this, the leader of the Dahuang Haoran Tianzong suddenly opened his eyes, flashing two cold lights, which actually illuminated the entire hall. But soon the leader's eyes returned to normal. He looked at Zhuo Haoran with a serious face and said lightly: "It seems that Junior Brother Ji and I have the same opinion. This time, the goal of the Xiji Ancient Buddha Tianzong should be Tiandang Mountain." "Tiandang Mountain Longyin Valley, Longling Fantasy?" At this time, the monk surnamed Wang on the side suddenly showed a look of surprise and said in surprise. "Yes, that's what the True Emperor judged. The only explanation for the unusual behavior of the Ancient Buddha Tianzong of the West is that they want to occupy the Dragon Song Valley of Tiandang Mountain. We all know that the entrance to the Dragon Spirit Illusion is in the Dragon Song Valley, so the True Emperor judged that they wanted to enter the Dragon Spirit Illusion." Zhuo Haoran stopped talking, and the whole hall fell into silence. The monk surnamed Wang and the middle-aged monk in his forties beside him looked at each other, and they saw expressions of surprise and joy in each other's eyes. "Is the Dragon Spirit Illusion about to open?"
