Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 446 Illusory Array
As soon as this remark came out, several people couldn't help but looked at each other, all of them looked suspicious. What does Mozong mean by this?He had just occupied the Spirit Mine and sent heavy troops to defend it, and within a day, he had to return it after changing hands.

Wei Xuande said: "Your words represent the meaning of the Youmei Sect?"

He Qiandao: "Of course, how dare the younger generation decide on such a big matter without authorization? This is what the head teacher of our sect said personally. He said that if the seniors of Qian Yizong take the matter of the Jingyun Lingmine as a grudge, they will return the spirit mine. .”

Peng Wanli said, "What about your conditions?"

He Gandao: "We sincerely hope to make peace with the noble sect without any additional conditions. If possible, I hope that the noble sect can return the black-toothed fish spirit beasts that robbed the sect last time. I heard that these spirit beasts have been kept in Guizong for a long time. Zong, as far as the noble sect is concerned, it is useless to get it, and it is a pity to abandon it. If I can return it to my sect, it will be more valuable to my two sects to reconcile."

Several people looked at each other, Wei Xuande said: "You step back first! Let me discuss this matter, come here."

A man from the outside came in from outside the hall and saluted: "What is the order from the head?"

"Take this man to rest.

"Yes." The man replied.

"The junior will take his leave first and wait for the senior's order." He Gan said, turned and left the hall.

"The Demon Sect returned our spirit mine unconditionally. Junior brothers, what do you think?" Wei Xuande said.

Peng Wanli said: "There are still conditions. Didn't they ask us to return the black-toothed fish that we looted earlier?"

"Junior Brother Peng, what do you think is the purpose of Mozong's move?"

Peng Wanli said: "This is a method of retreating. I guess the real purpose of the Demon Sect is to devour us every step of the way. They don't want to fight us to the death. The reason why they sent three Golden Core monks to occupy the spiritual mine is just a bluff. That's all."

"Sect Leader, please think carefully. Not only did the Demon Sect not lose anything this time, but they gained many benefits. First of all, they robbed the spirit stones stored in the spirit mine, and they can use this as an excuse to get back the batch of spirit beasts." So as to achieve the goal of seeking peace and developing with peace of mind, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

Wei Xuande nodded and said, "What does Junior Brother Peng mean?"

Peng Wanli said: "Thinking about the Demon Sect in this way is like putting out a fire with a salary. The fire will not go out if the salary is endless. Today they occupy the spiritual mine and ask for a condition, and tomorrow they attack another place and ask for a reward. What is this sect doing?" It won't be a plaything for them to slaughter, and how can anyone in the world seek peace by attacking and plundering first? We must base ourselves on war, and we must not take chances with the Demon Sect."

Wei Xuande said: "What do Junior Brother Cheng and Junior Brother Jiang think?"

Both of them nodded slightly: "Senior brother Peng is right."

Wei Xuande said: "Very well, I will order Junior Brother Shi and others to return immediately, and take back the Jingyun Ling Mine first."

In Xushu Mountain Spirit Mine, within the majestic cave, Zheng Jiehuai, head teacher of Youmei Sect, sat opposite to a white man.

The man asked: "Since we have won the Jingyun Ling Mine, why did the head send someone to negotiate peace? If so, wouldn't our efforts be wasted?"

Zheng Jiehuai smiled slightly: "The time is not right, now is not the time to swallow Qian Yizong, we must try our best to avoid a decisive battle with their main force, no matter whether we win or lose, it is not good for us. It is not good for us to maintain the current situation Say it's the best."

The man asked: "Since you are not planning to start a war with Gan Yizong, why do you want to attack Jingyun Ling Mine?"

Zheng Jiehuai said: "The reason why I want to win the Jingyun Ling Mine is just to increase the bargaining chip in the negotiation. Now that everything is ready, we only need to wait for Dongfeng, and when the world changes, we will eliminate Xuanmen in one fell swoop and occupy Xingang. Only when we have a real place to live in, before that, we still have to forbear and develop."

The man asked suspiciously: "Who is the head?"

Zheng Jiehuai pointed to the north: "The Xuanmen of the Mubei Grassland has retreated in a row. Although they are holding on to the southeast corner, the defeat is almost a foregone conclusion. As soon as they withdraw from Mubei, it is time for us to counterattack. If we take down Mubei, we will have to go straight to Qingzhou. At that time, it would be easy for us to take advantage of it to wipe out the Xingang Taoist sect in one fell swoop? Why bother to argue with it now."

The man said in admiration, "The vision of the sect leader is beyond my reach."

...........................

The Yuyun boat sailed on the blue sea, where it passed, it stirred up countless waves.

Everyone has been on the sea for more than [-] days since they left the pier. Tangning was quite interested in everything at sea at the beginning. After a few days, everything he could see was blue, except for the occasional fishing boat that appeared on the bottom of the sea. There is nothing, only the sound of rushing water and waves as companions.

Gradually, he also felt bored and lost interest. Like everyone else, he sat cross-legged in the boat and closed his eyes to practice Qi.

At night, a fishing boat slowly rises from the bottom of the sea and floats on the water. The word Yunhe is written on the flag on the bow of the boat, and the two boats are gradually approaching.

"Qinglinzi, how is the harvest this time?" A dark-complexioned and burly middle-aged man stood on the bow of the boat and greeted him, and the voice of rough mine came from afar.

Qing Linzi opened his eyes, his figure flashed, and he reached the bow of the boat, and responded with a smile: "Just went out to sea, and haven't started yet, how are you doing?"

The man said: "It's been a year since I came out, and I only hunted four monsters and a red-eyed tailed lion. It's a pity that it escaped. I heard that the Yunjin team captured and killed two third-tier monsters last month."

"Really?"

"Half a year ago, a third-tier armored whale appeared [-] nautical miles to the northwest, and its whereabouts are unknown. You have to be careful."

The two were talking and exchanged a few words of maritime information. Two fishing boats passed by and headed in two different directions.

Yu Yunzhou drove for two months and came to an unknown island reef. From a distance, the entire island reef was in the shape of a hexagon, with a radius of only a thousand miles, and there were towering giant trees everywhere.

Yu Yunzhou traveled for several hours and landed on a rocky hill.

"This is it." Qinglinzi said, everyone jumped off the Yuyun boat, Tangning was wondering if there was nothing here.

Xun Tianguan stepped forward and moved a few scattered stone pillars. In an instant, there was a sudden change in front of his eyes, but he saw an unknown figure with a height of more than one hundred feet resembling a mound.

The entire hill was wrapped in yellow mist, and it was hard to see clearly inside. There were eight tall stone pillars around the hill, and the stone pillars were covered with black symbols.There are no rocks around, it's empty.

"This is?" Tangning was startled.

Qing Linzi explained: "When I came to this island with a few fellow Taoists to take a break, I found a black brilliance flashing in the sky. When we arrived here, it was the same scene. There was a mess of rocky hills around. It appears and disappears in the rocky hills."

"We immediately guessed that it was a hidden formation, but none of us knew how to form it, and the mound of earth hidden in it was invisible, like a ghost."

"I left Brother Xiao and the others to guard them. When I returned to Xuanyi Island, I asked Fellow Daoist Xun to break through the formation. Although the outer layer of restriction was broken, the inner formation couldn't be broken. According to Fellow Daoist Xun, this is eight locks. It takes at least eight foundation-building monks to break the chain formation. Therefore, we returned to Xuanyi Island and made a one-year agreement. One will prepare the materials, and the other will wait for Fan Daoyou to come back to break the formation together.

Xun Tianguan said: "The outer area of ​​the earth mountain is actually a phantom formation, and the chaotic stone hill is transformed from this formation. The reason why you see the earth mountain that appears and disappears from time to time is because the outer phantom formation is restrained by the inner force. Break through, and there is a broken corner."

"As I expected, the black light you saw that day should be inspired by the prohibition of this stone pillar. This formation is called the eight-chain chain formation. The octagonal circles in the formation are interlocking. When they are in motion, they take advantage of each other to complement each other. It's a third-tier top-tier formation."

"Originally, it was absolutely impossible to break through this formation based on our cultivation ability, but after a long period of disrepair, a corner of this formation has been destroyed, and its power has been greatly reduced. The black light you see is the corner that was destroyed. It was ejected, and it destroyed the phantom formation outside, so it was exposed to you."

"Look carefully, the stone pillar in the northwest corner, the black character on it is obviously missing a section, this is the missing foot."

When everyone heard this, they came to the stone pillar in the northwest in a flash. At first glance, they didn't realize that there was something wrong, but when they looked carefully, they were indeed a bit inaccurate.

Although everyone didn't know the way of formation or the meaning of the characters on the stone pillars, they still found some clues after looking closely.

There is a section of talismans on the stone pillar that is quite different from other talismans, and a long section of it is the same symbol, densely arranged.

"Fellow Daoist Xun, are you referring to this passage?" Hua Tuofeng asked, pointing to the passage with the same characters.

Xun Tianguan nodded and said: "That's right, it's this section. According to the arrangement of this formation, this section of talisman should be a spell representing the wind attribute, but the talisman on it is a mess. Obviously, this section There's a problem with the footing."

Tang Ning asked, "Fellow Daoist said just now that the large formation was in disrepair and destroyed the outer phantom formation. Why was it still a mess of rocks when I arrived?"

Xun Tianguan said: "That's because before we left, we were worried that others would find this place, so we repaired the phantom array outside."

"I see."

When several people were talking, Fan Yuanming was walking back and forth along the eight huge stone pillars, observing carefully.

After a long time, he stopped in front of the stone pillar in the northwest corner, resting his chin in thought without saying a word.

"Brother, how is it?" Xun Tianguan asked.

Fan Yuanming said: "The structure of this formation is very complicated, and I don't have much confidence, so I can only try my best. It is best to wait for a crack to appear inside the formation, which is the black light you saw last time. The structure of the big formation is the loosest, and it can be broken in one fell swoop."

Qing Linzi said: "Fellow Daoist, when will there be cracks in this formation?"

Fan Yuanming said: "It's hard to say, it may be ten or a month, or it may be ten or eight years, or longer."

Qinglinzi said: "Since that's the case, please try your best, fellow daoist, and if it doesn't work, think of other ways."
