Taoist master wants to ascend

At night, the main hall of Shenbing Valley was brightly lit.

When Li Yuan walked into the main hall, there was a lot of noise inside.

The elders, guardians, and even many old soldiers and inner disciples in the valley were in the hall, and it was a mess at the moment.

He saw Fang Yunxiu with a heavy face and Gao Gang yawning.

"What are you arguing about?"

Lei Jingchuan shouted, suppressing the noise in the whole hall. As soon as he heard the news, he took Li Yuan back to the mountain gate.

"Elder Lei."

Feng Zhong had already stood at the head, his face was as gloomy as water, and when he saw him coming, his face relaxed.

"What's the situation?"

Lei Jingchuan glanced at the hall, and a disciple handed over a letter, and also handed a copy to Li Yuan.

Everyone in the hall had a copy.

Li Yuan sat down next to Lei Jingchuan and opened the letter, which only said three things in total.

First, Duanmu Shengduo had led his army to deploy defenses a few days ago, and the Sanyuan Army was stopped at the "Kaiyue City" seven hundred meters away.

That was the southernmost side of Zhelong Mansion.

The second thing was that Qi Ying, the eldest disciple under the command of Sanyuanwu Sect Master Wan Ya, led hundreds of elite soldiers to intercept Shi Hong and tried to stop the rescue.

The last thing was that Jing Shuhu rode out of the city to rescue a few days ago.

Bang!

Lei Jingchuan slammed the table heavily, and glanced coldly at the Supervisory Hall Master "Wang Jingyun" who was looking heavy-faced:

"Old Wang, hundreds of elite soldiers from Sanyuanwu are lurking outside the city, and the Supervisory Hall has no news at all?"

There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Wang Jingyun.

Shenbing Valley is divided into internal and external, five internal halls, and eight external halls. Wang Jingyun is one of the eight elders of the outer sect.

"This is my fault. When the Valley Master returns to the mountain, I will apologize."

Wang Jingyun put down the letter in his hand, his voice hoarse:

"But now is not the time to ask for punishment. This palace meeting is to discuss the response."

While speaking, he glanced at Feng Zhongyi, who sighed and nodded:

"What Elder Wang said is very true. Now is not the time to ask for punishment."

There was fatigue in his voice. Obviously, he was exhausted after running around for a while.

Lei Jingchuan looked at Wang Jingyun coldly: "Is it Zhenwu Hall?"

"No evidence."

Wang Jingyun did not deny that the only forces that could be hidden so well under his nose were the government office and Zhenwu Hall in Zhelong Mansion.

"This account will be settled sooner or later!"

Lei Jingchuan asked again: "What is the situation outside the city?"

Wang Jingyun looked at the hall, a disciple with blood-stained clothes:

"You tell me."

"Yes."

The disciple bowed and repeated what he had said before.

Nine days ago, Shi Hong led more than a thousand divine guards to rescue the city. Because the large group of people marched slowly, he sent a team of elite soldiers to travel light. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed on the road. After a bloody battle, hundreds of people died and only a few disciples escaped by chance. The one who did it was Qi Ying, the first true disciple of Sanyuanwu in the contemporary era. "Qi Ying led hundreds of people to ambush, how did you escape?" Lei Jingchuan frowned and stopped. Li Yuan's heart was also slightly moved. He did collect information about several other major sects in Huizhou. He also had some impression of Qi Ying. The disciple of Sanyuanwu Sect Master Wan Ya, the first true disciple of the contemporary era, has the ability to open meridians, superb swordsmanship, and martial arts talent is not inferior to Shi Hong. "This..." The disciple's face was pale. "Then what?" Lei Jingchuan asked subconsciously, but felt that his tone was not good, so he comforted him a few words and motioned him to continue. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go get a bottle of Yuan Dan and have a good rest."

"Thank you, elder."

The disciple retreated respectfully.

"Since it was an ambush, there would be no survivors. Qi Ying probably wants to transfer us out of the city!"

At this time, Wang Jingyun spoke, and the others nodded in agreement.

Only Lei Jingchuan frowned:

"My senior brother has been out of the city for several days!"

Feng Zhong nodded and looked over with some doubts:

"Before the news came, Elder Jing had already left the house. I'm afraid he knew the information in advance, but why didn't he tell us?"

Lei Jingchuan shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly. Seeing Feng Zhong looking at him, he talked about the cause and effect of the encirclement and suppression of the ruined temple that night.

He suspected that Jing Shuhu learned about this from Su Wanxiong and left in a hurry because he knew the situation was urgent.

"You said that Elder Jing suspected that there were followers of the evil god in the Remnant God Temple, so he took action directly?"

The elders and guardians in the hall were a little surprised.

This doesn't seem like something that Jing Shuhu would do...

"Yes."

Li Yuan didn't want to take credit, so he naturally took himself out.

"Is Sanyuanwu also connected with the evil god?"

At this time, Feng Zhongyi frowned even deeper, and the other elders and guardians also realized something and looked unhappy.

"First it was Qianjun Cave, then Sanyuanwu... There are four major sects in Huizhou, two of which are connected with the evil god? No, I'm afraid there are more than two, that Liexue Mountain..."

Li Yuan was a little frightened, and figured out a lot of things.

'Perhaps the reason why Lao Han and others want to destroy Qianjun Cave is that they have noticed that these major sects have also been connected with the evil god, and they want to defeat them one by one? '

Thinking in his mind, Li Yuan became more and more uneasy. This battle is much more dangerous than the previous sect wars in the past few hundred years.

Thinking back to the murder of the Palace Master a few years ago, the assassination of the Second Elder of the Weapon Casting Valley, the rebellions in various counties, and the blood sacrifice incidents that occurred...

When these things were connected one by one, he vaguely felt like there was a big net covering the outside.

"The water is too deep!"

The elders and guardians in the main hall were still discussing and arguing. Li Yuan held the letter in his hands. He was a little ashamed that his first thought was to run away.

"I, Li Yuan, the true successor of the Divine Weapon Valley, a wizard of weapon casting, and a future divine craftsman, my reputation, status, and wealth are all here...

No, I still want to run! "

Looking at the elders and guardians who had been arguing for a long time without any idea, Li Daoye felt more and more that a storm was coming and the building was about to collapse.

No one should be afraid of this!

…

This quarrel lasted for an hour or two. It was late at night, and there was no result from the discussion.

Finally, Fengzhong had spoken and summoned all the disciples, including the handyman disciples who had left the sect, to actively prepare for the war.

At the same time, Feige and others sent a message to the Valley Master, the other inner sect elders, and other sects under their jurisdiction.

Shenbing Valley is the largest sect in Hidden Dragon Mansion, but there are also many small and medium-sized sects below. Duanmusheng has been transferred once before.

"follow me."

After leaving the palace gate, Lei Jingchuan looked unhappy and worried.

Li Yuan followed and was silent all the way.

It wasn't until they arrived at Hantan Cave that Lei Jingchuan spoke:

"Do you think that the so-called elder protectors are just a bunch of people who don't live up to their name?"

"……No."

Li Yuan almost choked and waved his hands quickly.

"I think so too."

Lei Jingchuan sneered: "The Valley Master wants a quick victory when he goes to war. It will be decided in one battle. Naturally, the elite will go out in full force, leaving behind..."

He paused and said, "Except for me and my senior fellow apprentices, um, Lao Feng and Duan Musheng, the others are just drunkards who indulge in pleasure and have no desire to make progress."

"ah?"

Li Yuan looked up, and he actually saw a hint of wisdom on the face of this rough man.

"The Valley Master had anticipated this turmoil five or six years ago, and since then he has continued to recruit guests and protectors from various places..."

Lei Jingchuan said secretly.

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, but this was one of the pieces of information that he had never been able to find out before.

"The turmoil in Huizhou is really a natural disaster. I don't know the reason. I and others don't know the reason. The arrival of Wanchuan revealed something..."

Lei Jingchuan sighed, feeling that disaster had fallen from the sky:

"It should be six years ago that in the East China Sea, a negative palace spirit turtle fell from the sky and landed on the shore of the East China Sea..."

"The negative palace turtle?"

Li Yuan was excited and remembered Wang Wenyuan's letter. The old master also mentioned this matter in his letter.

And according to what was revealed in his letter, it was the Evil God Cult Leader who was eyeing the Valley of Divine Weapons, or in other words, the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer...

"This is a disaster that fell from the sky. Whether you know the cause or not, it actually doesn't make much sense."

Lei Jingchuan rubbed his temples, feeling quite stressed.

"This is indeed a disaster coming from the sky."

Li Yuan maintained the shock on his face and felt a little heavy in his heart.

The Evil God Sect has an inextricable relationship with the imperial court, and is an enemy of all the major sects in the Four Seas and Five Realms. However, it has survived for thousands of years, which shows how powerful its power is.

Being targeted by this behemoth...

"The Valley Master has been planning for several years and has a way to deal with this turmoil. You don't have to worry too much."

Seeing that Li Yuan was worried, Lei Jingchuan comforted him.

"What's the best way to deal with it?"

Li Yuan was a little surprised.

"What the Evil God Sect is spying on is the legendary Divine Weapon of Destiny, but at its root, it's just the cold pond in our Divine Weapon Valley."

Lei Jingchuan glanced at the deep cold pool water under the pit:

"The Valley Master said that the inheritance of our ancestors cannot be lost, but if something cannot be done, it can be abandoned!"

Good guy, is this decisive?

Hearing these words, Li Yuan's view of the Valley Master suddenly changed a lot. Not everyone has this kind of courage.

The ancestral foundation is not only the Shenbing Mountain, but also Zhelong Mansion, the most prosperous city in Huizhou!

so……

Li Yuan reacted quickly: "So, the Valley Master came out in full force, determined to win Qianjun Cave?"

"good!"

Lei Jingchuan was very satisfied with his reaction. Who said blacksmiths can't use their brains?

This guy reacts very quickly!

Changing homes?

After saying this, many doubts in Li Yuan's mind were suddenly wiped away. No wonder not even an inner sect elder was left behind this time.

"No wonder..."

"But this is the last option."

Lei Jingchuan stood up and looked around the Hantan Cave: "This is the best place for forging weapons in Huizhou. The ancestors have inherited the mountain gate for 1,400 years..."

There was some reluctance in his eyes.

"Where the people are, the mountain gate is there."

Li Yuan comforted him, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

It turned out that not only he wanted to run away, but Lao Han and the Valley Master also wanted to run away.

Well, the heroes think alike?

"This matter is top secret. If it weren't for you, I would never say a word."

Lei Jingchuan warned with a straight face.

He knew that the elders and protectors of Valley Master Liushan, apart from being too conspicuous in large numbers, might not be without the intention of testing them.

But that's all for others, Li Yuan, he really doesn't want to be tested.

A disciple who has just started for less than a year wants to live and die with others?

Even with his hard heart, he felt that it was too harsh.

"Disciple, please remember this!"

Li Yuan responded solemnly, with distracting thoughts surging in his heart.

This is the benefit of a genius. If it were an ordinary disciple, it would be impossible to know such a top secret.

"During this period, I may have to go down the mountain, but you, no matter what, don't go down the mountain!"

Lei Jingchuan looked serious.

Li Yuan nodded. He was already considering selling the weapon forging shop. Of course, preparations for running away must be made as early as possible.

only……

After taking a look at the cold pool water, Li Yuan felt a little reluctant to leave. The Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer was still here. He didn't want to run away unless he had to.

"If I really want to run away, I have to try again, superimpose my hammering talent, and break into the Red Fusion Cave..."

The thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind that he was really unwilling.

For more than half a year, he had been working underground and working hard in Chirong Cave for many days, just for this Heavenly Fortune Mysterious Weapon.

No matter what, he wants to give it a try.

"Well, come with me."

After warning him, Lei Jingchuan thought for a while and led Li Yuan to another hidden tunnel.

"After this tunnel, there are thousands of different tunnels connected, leading to various parts of the Shenbing Mountains..."

Over the course of more than 1,400 years, the Shenbing Valley was hollowed out, of course, more than just an inner island. The Shenbing Mountain Gate was filled with various tunnels.

This is the final guarantee for the survival of the sect.

Even a master who is as strong as Zang Zang Refining will never be able to catch up with all the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley in such a complicated tunnel.

"In the next few days, I will send you a map just in case."

Lei Jingchuan let out a long breath. It was obvious that he had made this decision with great determination.

"Disciple will never reveal anything!"

Li Yuan bowed and his sleeves fell to the ground. He was truly grateful.

This tunnel map may seem useless, but to some extent it is the last resort for all the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley. If they don’t truly trust it, it will never be leaked to anyone.

"Um."

Lei Jingchuan waved his hand and didn't look back. He just looked at the crisscrossing deep tunnels, lost in thought.

"Disciple resigns."

Li Yuan bowed and retreated.

After leaving the cave, he didn't waste a moment and went back to tidy up at night, mainly bringing the little mouse, various iron materials and bedding stored in it.

"call!"

Letting go of the little mouse who was very active after coming underground, Li Yuan shook his sleeves and walked towards Chirong Cave carrying various iron materials.

Prepare to hit the third heavy hammer first.

…

…

Huhu~

There are more than 700 people to the northwest of Zhelongfu City.

Roaring, neighing, screaming, clashing of swords, and the sound of blood splashing...

In a windy and snowy night, thousands of people were fighting fiercely. One side was holding swords or clubs and spears, while the other side was holding swords and sickles of the same color.

"Kill!"

"kill!"

Amidst the sound of swords clashing, Long Sheng moved his swords and sticks together, leading the army to charge towards the elite of the Three Yuan Army who was ambushing here.

Shi Hong galloped forward on horseback and struck the target with his long sword, causing a bloody storm.

With a cold expression on his face, he looked at the young man riding a white horse and holding a long sickle by the dense forest:

"Qi Ying, you alone dare to ambush me, you really don't know how to live or die!"

"act recklessly?"

The young man glanced coldly, raised his sickle, and cast a cold light:

"Shi Hong, let me take you on your way!"

Zheng!

Shi Hong raised his sword and the dragon neighed:

"Brothers, follow me and charge!"
