Seeking Immortality

After a commotion, the back mountain of Jiuhua finally regained its former tranquility.

Not far in front of Xu Qingfan, the flames were surging all over the sky, reflecting Xu Qingfan's face, which was uncertain, just like his mood at the moment.

His thoughts unconsciously returned to forty years ago, when Yue Qingru was still alive, 6 Huayan was still alive, and Nangong Qingshan was still his junior brother. During that time, the memory of everything was still so vivid, but now it seems like a lifetime ago when he recalled it.

In the flames, Nangong Qingshan's screams were extremely high at first, resounding throughout the back mountain, but now they are gradually becoming low, even inaudible.

When Nangong Qingshan's screams finally disappeared completely, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly, but never looked at the place where the flames were burning, but turned around and flew quickly towards the direction of his cave.

After dealing with Nangong Qingshan, he was now only anxious to confirm whether Ting'er was safe.

According to Nangong Qingshan, his master seemed to be very interested in Ting'er for some reason, which made Xu Qingfan feel a sense of crisis. Although he didn't know who the master in Nangong Qingshan's mouth was, Xu Qingfan knew that he would make another move next time. And with that guy's strength and character, once he makes another move, he must be very sure.

As for Nangong Qingshan's body, Xu Qingfan ignored it. It's not that Xu Qingfan's resentment towards Nangong Qingshan has reached the bottom of the body, but because after the Phoenix Spirit Fire, only a handful of dust was left, and it was gone with the wind after the fire was extinguished. Just like Xu Qingfan and his grievances, they will never see each other again.

Although there is no body after death, everyone misses it, no one resents, and no one knows everything Nangong Qingshan did during his lifetime, maybe. This is also the best destination for Nangong Qingshan.

Although he sighed in his heart, Xu Qingfan's flying speed did not decrease at all. In a few dozen breaths, he returned to his cave in the back mountain. After pushing the door open, he saw Ting'er still lying quietly on the bed without any injury. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He just wanted to reach out to wake Ting'er up, but his hand stopped halfway.

Xu Qingfan suddenly found that although Ting'er was sleeping at this time, her face looked very peaceful and relaxed after sleeping. Although Ting'er was awake at ordinary times, she always wrapped herself up tightly with indifference, and in the indifference, there was a strong sense of fatigue and uneasiness.

In Xu Qingfan's impression, Ting'er always stood there alone with a frown. Although Ting'er rarely frowned in reality, Xu Qingfan knew that in Ting'er's heart, she was always frowning.

Maybe, she should rest for a while? In the days when I was away, Ting'er must have been practicing day and night again, right?

Xu Qingfan thought secretly.

Just when Xu Qingfan was hesitating, a pressure and momentum beyond Xu Qingfan's imagination came from the front mountain, as if a god had descended to the earth. Then, the originally chaotic spiritual fluctuations in the front mountain suddenly disappeared, as if they were also increased by such momentum and pressure.

Just when Xu Qingfan was frightened by this momentum in his heart. He kept guessing who this momentum came from. The front mountain suddenly became chaotic again, and countless strange and peculiar spiritual fluctuations began to appear continuously. The sounds of fighting and roaring suddenly magnified, and even Xu Qingfan could hear them clearly in the back mountain.

Then, a burst of rapid bell ringing began to sound one after another, and it rang nine times in a row. Although the sound was clear and distant, the sound was so rapid and the interval was so short, but it all showed the urgency in the heart of the knocker.

These bell sounds were the sounds of the "Hualing Bell" used by Jiuhua Sect to summon disciples. The nine consecutive rings meant that there was an invasion by foreign enemies and all Jiuhua disciples were summoned to resist together. It would never ring unless Jiuhua Mountain was in a state of emergency.

So when Xu Qingfan heard the sound of the "Hualing Bell", his body shook violently. He immediately thought of the big hole that he and Zhang Hualing and others had broken in the "Jiuji Formation" when they broke into the mountain. Now Jiuhua Mountain was in chaos, and the life and death of the mountain guardian elder Hou was unknown. Naturally, this loophole had not been repaired in time.

Could it be that other sects on Zhantai had been bewitched by Zhou Huahai's substitute and had already attacked Jiuhua Mountain at this time? Impossible, Zhou Huahai's real body should still be fighting with Zhang Hualing and others. His substitute came with the heads and elders of the major sects, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing the gang?

But when he heard the urgent bell, Xu Qingfan didn't bother to think. He glanced at Ting'er who was sleeping, hesitated slightly in his heart, and finally did not wake her up. Instead, he walked out of the door and pinched his fingers towards the house. Under his control, a barrier slowly appeared, surrounding Ting'er's room. As long as someone breaks this barrier, Xu Qingfan will know immediately.

After thinking about it, Xu Qingfan finally decided not to wake up Ting'er for the time being and let her have a good rest. After all, Ting'er was too tired during this period, and it was time to have a good rest.

The location of Xu Qingfan's cave is very secret. Unless it is a guy with ulterior motives like Nangong Qingshan, no one else will notice it. Now Jiuhua Mountain is in chaos and there are crises everywhere. If Xu Qingfan goes to the front mountain to gather, it will be inconvenient, and it will even be more dangerous for Ting'er. It will be safer for her to stay here alone. And with her current strength, if someone wants to harm her, it is actually the same whether she wakes up or not.

After setting up the barrier, Xu Qingfan no longer hesitated and controlled the "Wanli Cloud" to fly quickly towards the front mountain of Jiuhua.

Although Xu Qingfan had consumed a lot of spiritual energy in the battle with Nangong Qingshan just now, and his right leg was almost useless, he was worried about the situation in the front mountain, so he controlled the speed of "Wanliyun" and flew to the mountainside of the front mountain in less than a cup of tea.

But when he arrived at the front mountain, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

At this time, the fairyland-like scenery of the front mountain of Jiuhua Mountain had long disappeared, but was flattened by many powerful Taoist flowers, becoming an ordinary barren mountain.

On the barren mountain, a melee unfolded in front of Xu Qingfan.

It seemed to be a replay of the war in which humans monopolized the vast land of Shenzhou more than ten thousand years ago. A large number of demons and immortals fought together. Looking at these strange and terrifying demons attacking the disciples of Jiuhua Mountain, some with three heads and six arms, some with two horns and three eyes, and some with two wings and green skin, it is not an exaggeration to describe the situation of Jiuhua Mountain at this time as a group of demons dancing wildly.

Although Xu Qingfan thought he was knowledgeable, he had never heard of the appearance of these demons. He was very surprised.

What race are these demons? How did they appear in Jiuhua Mountain? What happened in Jiuhua Mountain at this time?

Just when Xu Qingfan was shocked by the scene in front of him, two demons who were constantly looking for prey also found Xu Qingfan standing on the edge of the battlefield. The confused look on his face seemed very weak and vulnerable. So they roared, blood-red eyes flashed, and they rushed towards Xu Qingfan.

The skin of these two demons was blue, with eyes on their backs, and the horns on their heads reflected the cold light in the sun. The overall image was very terrifying.

They seemed to be frightened by the appearance of the demons. And they seemed to have not noticed the attack of the two demons at all. When the two demons pounced not far in front of Xu Qingfan, Xu Qingfan still stood on the edge of the battlefield and kept looking left and right, as if he was considering the situation in Jiuhua Mountain at this time.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's reaction, the two demons' bloodlust became stronger, thinking that Xu Qingfan was destined to be their ghost, but just when the two claws were about to touch Xu Qingfan's body, the ground beneath them suddenly broke, and two huge and brightly colored carnivorous plants suddenly appeared, rushing towards the two demons as fast as lightning. At the same time, they opened their petals, swallowed them into their bellies and chewed them quickly, and streams of green blood began to flow slowly from the gaps between the petals.

Xu Qingfan didn't care about the scene in front of him at all, just kept looking at the situation on the battlefield. Through observation, Xu Qingfan found that the two demons who attacked him just now were only the weakest kind. They only had the cultivation level of the late stage of Bigu. The strongest demon among them had the cultivation level of the late stage of Lingji. They accounted for about one-third of the demons.

At this time, the entire battlefield was divided into three parts.

The most eye-catching part of the battlefield was in front of Hualing Palace. Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang led a large number of Jiuhua disciples to fight against the large army of demons. There were already hundreds of corpses of demons or Jiuhua disciples on the ground. Obviously, the demons' attacks in the initial stage caused heavy losses to the younger generation of Jiuhua.

But as time went by, the Jiuhua disciples who gradually got used to the terrifying faces of the demons began to deal with them calmly. Although the average strength of the demons was far greater than that of the Jiuhua disciples, the Jiuhua disciples stood in a group, taking advantage of the dense numbers, concentrating their strength to defend or attack, and with the help of Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang, they did not lose the upper hand in a short time.

Speaking of which, the disciples of Jiuhua Mountain actually have the most practical experience among the disciples of the six holy places. Because since Zhang Hualing took over as the head, he has been allowing the Jiuhua disciples to fight privately, and if there are casualties, he will not pursue them too much. In the previous internal competitions, many disciples were killed or injured. In such a cruel situation, although Jiuhua lost a lot of excellent disciples, it also gave most of the disciples rare practical experience. Now think about it, it seems that Zhang Hualing, the old fox, had expected this day.

The most moving part of the battlefield was in front of the hole in the "Nine Extremes Formation". Most of the elders of Jiuhua Mountain were gathered there. Obviously, there were many demons. Now the demons on the front mountain were only a part of them. There were also follow-up troops preparing to enter Jiuhua Mountain through the hole, but they were blocked by a group of elders and could not move forward or backward.

Although these elders had just experienced a fierce battle, they were in the Jindan stage after all. They could use all kinds of powerful Taoist methods at will. Under the power of their Taoist methods, just looking at the dazzling five-colored light flashing in their position and the roars coming one after another, you can know how terrifying the Taoist methods they used were.

It was just that the subsequent demons seemed endless. Although the elders' magic was extremely powerful, they had not been able to kill all the remaining demons. Sometimes demons survived by chance under the elders' magic by sacrificing their companions, and rushed into the elders' crowd to cause chaos. But in any case, this part was the most reassuring among the three parts of the battlefield.

The third part of the battlefield was also the most tragic part of the battlefield, which was the sum of the sporadic battles in all places in the front mountain. In the front mountain, many Jiuhua disciples did not have time to gather with most of the Jiuhua disciples for a while, and kept running around in the front mountain of Jiuhua, and they became the prey of some demons.

However, there were still about ten elders who kept running around in the front mountain, attacking and killing all the demons they saw, and protecting all the Jiuhua disciples who could be protected.

This is a story of a cicada, a mantis and a yellow bird. Jiuhua disciples were constantly killed by demons while escaping, and these demons were killed by an elder in an instant. These demons were extremely fierce by nature. From time to time, some demons exploded in the hope of dying together with the Jiuhua elders, making those elders embarrassed.

In short, at this time, Jiuhua Mountain was in chaos with demons dancing wildly.

"It seems that killing is inevitable today." After observing the scene on the field, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly, but he did not hesitate to drag his injured leg and attack the lone demons like those elders. Among the three battlefields, this was also the easiest for him to intervene.

But at this moment, Xu Qingfan originally thought that the most frightening part of the three battlefields - the hole in the Jiuji formation guarded by most of the Jiuhua elders, was suddenly changed.
