Taiping Inn

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuandu said, "Continue to attack the tower and break the formation. This time we should be more prepared. Even if Wang Tianxiao comes again, he can't make any waves."

Xiao Shiyu said, "This time when we attacked the cave of Zaoge Sect, we encountered ghosts and evil masters like Wang Tianxiao, but we didn't see any Zaoge Sect disciples or Yin Yang Sect disciples."

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the people of the two sects have other plans."

Xiao Shiyu said, "The people of the evil sect don't have strict requirements for their disciples. There are often mud and sand, and the good and the bad are mixed, so there are many people, but the Yin Yang Sect is an exception. There are not many disciples, but they are all good players. They are the elite among the five sects. If they hide in the dark and attack, it will be impossible. Unprepared."

Li Xuandu said: "Under the current situation, we are many and the enemy is few. Even if the Yin-Yang Sect can launch a sneak attack, it will be difficult to escape unscathed. Even if it kills 1,000 enemies and loses 500 of its own, the Earth Master is not willing to do it. So in my opinion, the Yin-Yang Sect will not send ordinary disciples to participate in the battle, but will only let the masters in the sect wait for an opportunity to act."

Xiao Shiyu said: "If we can seize the opportunity and kill two more Ming officials, it will be equivalent to cutting off one of the Earth Master's hands."

Li Xuandu said: "It's too early to say this. Now we should break the key to the formation here."

While the two were talking, a five-colored thundercloud suddenly rose from the south, red, yellow, blue, purple, and green, and then five huge thunders fell, crashing into the ghost country.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to shake. For a moment, everyone felt that their souls were also shaking, just like the sound of spring thunder, hibernating insects came out of their holes, and ghosts dissipated.

Then a strong wind blew between heaven and earth, as if a bulging bag was torn open, and the Yin Qi in the "bag" rushed out through the hole. It was the same as the "Yin-dividing Halberd" that Yan Feiqing used to release the Yin Qi, but in terms of power, it was much greater.

"That's the direction of the Zhengyi Sect, or the great master has a profound cultivation, and has already broken through a key point." Xiao Shiyu's expression was a little more relaxed.

Li Xuandu said: "In this case, we can't delay any longer and break the formation immediately."

This time, the four great masters of the Heavenly Man Wuliang Realm, Li Xuandu, Xiao Shiyu, Qin Yiyi, and Shen Yuanzhong, gathered their strength, and hundreds of masters from various sects assisted. Although the ghost army was surging, without the intervention of Wang Tianxiao and other Yin Yang Sect, they only resisted for half an hour before the formation was broken. Then Li Xuandu cut off the tower with a sword, and the seven-story pagoda on the ground fell to the ground, but it did not become a ruin. It remained intact, but it changed from standing upright to lying horizontally, which shows that the tower is solid. This also revealed the entrance to the underground palace hidden underground.

The entrance is not big, roughly the same as the stairs upstairs, and can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

Li Xuandu said, "I will go in with Sect Master Xiao, and the Great Elder and Senior Qin will lead all the disciples to meet us outside. How about that?"

Although Xiao Shiyu was too upright and almost pedantic, and had a bad temper, he never shirked his responsibilities in such matters. He was much better than many sect masters who were full of calculations. After hearing this, he agreed without any hesitation.

It was just that Qin Su's face was not very good. However, in front of so many people, she had to protect Li Xuandu's face and could not openly oppose Li Xuandu. She could only look at Li Xuandu.

At this time, Qin Yiyi said, "This is not appropriate. The underground palace is dangerous and unpredictable, and Master Li has just been injured. How can he take risks again? It is better for Master Li to stay upstairs to take charge of the situation, and the three of us will go down and take a look."

Qin Yiyi, an "outsider", said so, and Shen Yuanzhong, a "family member" of the Taiping Sect, naturally had to say something, saying, "Old Qin is right, so please stay upstairs."

Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

After that, the three great masters of the Heavenly Realm entered the underground palace, and Li Xuandu and Qin Su stayed upstairs.

On the other side, Zhang Haishi split a seven-story pagoda in half from top to bottom with a sword, revealing the same entrance to the underground palace. The three Quanzhen Taoist masters formed a three-talent formation and bombarded the magic that had been prepared long ago. For a moment, thunder and fire surged, the sky shook, and the earth shook, directly expanding the entrance of the underground palace by more than double, and then Situ Xuanlue replaced the Three Xuan Masters and rushed into it with Taiwei Master and Wanshou Master.

Zhang Haishi put his sword into his bamboo stick, sat cross-legged not far from the entrance of the underground palace, leaned on the bamboo stick with one hand, and silently recovered his energy. Behind him, the disciples of the four sects were on full alert. Even if someone attacked, it would be difficult to successfully break through the formation of hundreds of people.

Zhang Haishi's face did not show much joy or anger. Although Sanxuan Zhenren was attacked by Zhuge Zuan, he was fortunate to have Wanshou Zhenren. In terms of the ability to treat people's illnesses and injuries, Wanshou Zhenren dared to say that he was second, and no one dared to say that he was first, even the four immortals in the realm of immortality could not do it. Zhuge Zuan was not Wang Tianxiao, and his attack was not so cruel, so Sanxuan Zhenren had now recovered from his injuries and was not in serious trouble.

Zhang Haishi didn't care about this. What he really cared about was the development of the situation. If the great celestial master Zhang Jingxiu defeated the Zaoge Sect and the Yinyang Sect this time, he would not only be able to regain the face lost by the Zhengyi Sect, but also raise his own prestige to a higher level. This reminded Zhang Haishi of an old incident when the Qingwei Sect was just starting to prosper. As we all know, the Qingwei Sect made its fortune on the East China Sea, where maritime trade was prevalent, and the Qingwei Sect's fleet was half merchant and half pirate. After the Qingwei Sect set the rule of paying for the pass flag, many merchant ships did not take it seriously, so the Qingwei Sect wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. The first time it sank the merchant ship of the Tianle Sect, people in the rivers and lakes laughed at the Qingwei Sect for only bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The second time the Qingwei Sect sank the merchant ship of the Female Sect, people in the rivers and lakes said that the Qingwei Sect only bullied women. The third time, Qingwei Sect sank the merchant ship of Wudao Sect. The tone of the people in the Jianghu changed and they praised Qingwei Sect. It turned out that Qingwei Sect did not bully the weak, but treated everyone equally, with character and courage, which was completely different from the previous evaluation.

As the saying goes, if you want to praise, you must first suppress. Yinyang Sect's attack on Zhengyi Sect is undoubtedly "suppression". If Zhengyi Sect can regain its face, it will be "promotion". The effect of suppression and praise is much greater than Zhengyi Sect's simple attack on Beimang Mountain.

In this situation, Qingwei Sect is very disadvantageous. No matter what the differences between him and his master and the third brother are, he is the deputy leader of Qingwei Sect after all. He cannot sacrifice public interests for personal reasons. He must consider the entire sect. Even if he agrees to stop the war and negotiate peace with Zhengyi Sect, he does not want to see Zhengyi Sect suppress Qingwei Sect.

After thinking about it, Zhang Haishi still believed that the key lies in Li Xuandu. If Li Xuandu completely turns to Zhang Jingxiu, then Qingwei Sect will have no chance of winning. That is, Zhang Jingxiu has no daughter or granddaughter, otherwise Miss Qin will have a headache. If Li Xuandu cares about the old relationship, then Qingwei Sect can suppress Zhengyi Sect. If Zhang Haishi asks his junior brother who has grown up with him, Li Xuandu will definitely agree to it because of their relationship. However, Zhang Haishi is unwilling to do so much. After all, Li Xuandu has left the sect, and it is his business to do what he should do.

At this moment, a loud noise came from the west gate, followed by a beam of light rising into the sky, dyeing the sky golden.

Zhang Haishi gathered his thoughts and turned his head to look. Because the distance was too far, the beam of light seemed a little slender. It can be imagined how magnificent this beam of light would be at a close distance.

Zhang Haishi said to himself: "It's not easy to force Bai Xiushang to use all her strength."

After the words fell, the light column shrank rapidly. Soon, there was only a line left in Zhang Haishi's sight, but this line was more condensed and the light was more dazzling, as if it was going to split this cave into two.

Old Man Zang was finally defeated by Bai Xiushang, who had the help of many Buddhists, and had to escape deep into the city.

After losing Old Man Zang, the remaining formations could not stop the Buddhists led by Bai Xiushang.

Not long after, the ground shook in the direction of the east gate and the west gate, and it was obvious that the formation key had been broken. Although the north gate where Zhang Haishi was located was a little slower because of the injury of Sanxuan Zhenren, it also successfully broke the formation key soon after.

In an instant, a light column rose in each of the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast.

Here, the world shook in all directions.

On the Cuiyun Peak, the geomancer put his hands behind his back, looked at the four beams of light shooting straight into the sky, and said with a faint smile: "The chess pieces are knocked and the lamp flowers fall."
