Chapter 223 The Saint’s Shock ([-]st update, please subscribe)
Three days later.

Emperor Xu Mansion, Xia City!

This is where the head of the Xia family, the head of the nine great families, is located.

From the name of the city, it can be seen that the Xia family enjoys absolute dominance over the entire city.

In the entire Daqian, only relatives of the queen like the Xia family can enjoy this kind of treatment.

Xiacheng covers an area of ​​10,000+ acres, with fertile fields and numerous restaurants, shops and teahouses.

On the bustling streets, there is an endless flow of businessmen, scholars, knights and other people from all walks of life.

Various shops are lined up in rows, selling specialties from the Western Region, the Demon Clan in the North, and the Eastern Sea Region, which is dazzling.

This is indeed the hinterland of Daqian, extending in all directions, and its prosperity is even no less than that of the capital city!

It can be called another imperial city of Daqian.

'It is indeed the heart of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It is prosperous. The Xia family has been operating here for so long, and the treasures the family has collected may have reached astronomical figures. '

'The annihilation of the Xia family this time will attract the attention of many forces. It is estimated that there will be many ghosts, immortals or martial saints involved. '

Inside a teahouse.

Li Xuan and his external avatar were sitting by the window, looking at the street below.

in fact.

as early as a day ago.

Li Xuan rushed to Xia City to observe the situation in advance.

To avoid falling into a trap when the time comes to attack the Xia family.

these days.

Li Xuan was also practicing and becoming familiar with the Tai Chi Divine Fire. With the bonus of the Pure Yang Dao Soul, he quickly mastered the Tai Chi Divine Fire!
This Tai Chi Divine Fire can transform one's own Qi, blood, and essence into the power of the soul's thoughts, thus strengthening the soul.

It’s a magical skill!
With this Tai Chi Divine Fire, I can cast the "God Spell" without burning my thoughts.

The price is that the energy, blood and essence will be depleted, and the physical body will become extremely weak in an instant.

but.

This is always much less expensive than wasting ideas.

After all, if your qi, blood, and essence are depleted, you can take some first-grade elixirs to replenish your energy, and it will take another ten and a half days to recover.

If the thought is lost, without external assistance, it will take a day for a thought to recover.

Six thousand thoughts and it would take 16 years to recover!

This difference is not just one point or two points.

of course.

With the current strength of his flesh and blood, it is estimated that he can only support the burning of three thousand thoughts at most.

If there are any more, then my physical body may collapse directly!

'No matter what, this is a sure-kill skill that can threaten the ghosts and immortals of the second thunder tribulation! '

Li Xuan drank all the tea in the cup, looked outside and said:

"Let's go, all the sects and aristocratic families in Zhongzhou have probably gathered."

Li Xuan paid the bill and walked out of the teahouse with his avatar.

This summer city is divided into two areas: the outer city and the inner city.

The outer city is populated by ordinary people, while the inner city is where the Xia family lives.

It is also this time that various sects and aristocratic families want to capture the ground.

The place where families from various sects gathered this time was in front of Tianque Mountain, ten miles away from Xiacheng.

When Li Xuan and his external avatar arrived, many disciples from sects and aristocratic families had gathered here.

Li Xuan naturally saw Jiang Miaoyi in white clothes and a veil.

"Fairy Jiang, I shouldn't be late, right?"

The incarnation flew to Jiang Miaoyi with Li Xuan.

The eyes of the others flashed slightly when they saw the strength of the incarnation outside.

The Grand Master, as the top combat power under the Martial Saint and Ghost Immortal, deserves people's attention no matter where he is placed.

Jiang Miaoyi said with a smile on her face: "It's not too late, we are ready to go to Xia City."

"That's good." The avatar nodded.

He looked around, but he didn't see the three-time thunder tribulation leader of the Ghost Immortal of the Randen Sect.

"Brother Li, our leader is hiding in the dark to prepare for the Xia family's head's counterattack and will not show up." Jiang Miaoyi said secretly.

The incarnation outside the body was clear and no more words were said.

at this time.

Among the disciples of the Randen Sect, a handsome man wearing a crane cloak and holding a feather fan floated over.

His aura was ethereal, his brows were full of grace, and he looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom.

"Junior sister Jiang, if you want the Xia family's treasures, you can come to me. I will definitely help you. Why bother to act like an outsider? If anything happens, I will feel guilty."

Jiang Miaoyi's eyebrows condensed, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Brother, you should take care of yourself. Although the Xia family is forced to hide in Xia City by various sects, this is also the moment when the Xia family is the strongest. , If one of them is not good later, the senior brother will also fall. At that time, I am afraid that the sect will have to choose another holy son."

The man smiled and didn't mind at all: "The Xia family is just surviving. If this power can kill me, then I am not worthy of being this holy son. But junior sister, please don't let others plot against you. When the time comes, It’s too late to regret it.”

"Senior brother, I don't need to worry about it anymore." Jiang Miaoyi was too lazy to say any more.

The man looked at the avatar outside and showed a meaningful smile, but he didn't say anything more and just left.

The external avatar then transmitted the message: "It seems that Fairy Jiang is being targeted by senior brother you."

He knew that the man wearing the crane cloak was named Yan Changsheng, and he was the contemporary saint son of the Randen Sect.

She is much stronger than Jiang Miaoyi. She has reached the peak of corpse dissolution and can survive the thunder tribulation at any time and become a ghost immortal!

Of course, thunder tribulation is difficult to overcome, and not every Dharma cultivator in the corpse dissolution realm has the courage to survive the thunder tribulation.

Thunder contains a lot of masculine and violent energy. If it is not done well, it will lead to death.

Therefore, this is why there are many Dharma cultivators in the corpse realm in this world, but there are very few ghosts and immortals.

Jiang Miaoyi pursed her red lips: "Well, this Yan Changsheng is very scheming. He probably knows that I want to find the Dragon Transformation Stone that is crucial for me to break the sky. When the time comes, he doesn't dare to do anything to me. , but he will definitely cause trouble and may take action against Brother Li, so please be careful."

The person incarnate outside the body smiled half-smilingly and said: "Fairy Jiang, if you invite me to come here to hunt for treasures, you probably have the intention of asking me to resist Yan Changsheng."

Jiang Miaoyi heard this and said calmly:

"I do have this idea, but with Brother Li's ability, I am not afraid of Yan Changsheng. Moreover, as long as Brother Li helps me, I only need the dragon stone, and I can take nothing from the secret place. Brother Li also It’s not a loss.”

The external avatar looked calmly and said, "If I take action against Yan Changsheng, will your leader intervene?"

Jiang Miaoyi said: "The leader has always been about letting nature take its course. Since nine years ago, the leader took action once to pursue Xiao Yourong, he has never taken action again. Therefore, Brother Li, you can rest assured. As long as you don't kill Yan Changsheng, the leader will naturally not interfere. After all, the leader also knows that you are the helper I invited. Yan Changsheng and I are both the son and saint of the saint, and the leader will not favor anyone."

The external avatar nodded slightly: "That's okay. If Yan Changsheng dares to take action, I will naturally stop him for Fairy Jiang. This can be regarded as repaying the favor of Fairy Jiang for taking me into the secret place."

Although he has not yet practiced Zhen Gang and tempered the five internal organs, with the powerful power of the spiritual embryo of heaven and earth, he is no less than some great masters who have understood the artistic conception of martial arts.

It is more than enough to deal with Yan Changsheng.

Moreover, the purpose of blocking Yan Changsheng was not only to repay Jiang Miaoyi's favor, but also to allow the main body to obtain more treasures from the secret place.

Otherwise, if Yan Changsheng intervenes, it will be difficult for the main body to search for treasures with peace of mind.

"So, thank you Brother Li." Jiang Miaoyi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the avatar outside her body didn't care.

at this time.

Yan Changsheng soared into the sky and his voice spread loudly: "Fellow Taoists, it's almost time. Let's go. The Xia family has colluded with evil spirits, and the head of the Xia family is more likely to be parasitized by the devil. Therefore, don't show mercy later. If you dare The Xia family members who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Of course, in order to prevent some sects or aristocratic families from taking advantage of the trouble or fishing in troubled waters, when they attack the Xia family's formation later, each sect must send a grand master or a cultivator from the corpse dissolution realm to attack. If there is no grand master or a cultivator from the corpse dissolution realm, , then after attacking the Xia family, we must take the lead, otherwise we will not be blamed for the Randen Faction liquidating them afterwards."

He glanced at some sects that did not have great masters or practitioners in the corpse dissolution realm. It was obvious that these words were meant for these sects.

The leaders of these sects naturally clasped their fists to express their willingness to take the lead!
As the saying goes, wealth is gained through danger. For a behemoth like the Xia family, if they want to get a piece of the pie, they must pay a price.

Some sects and aristocratic families even tried their best to bring over most of the elite disciples of the sect.

A large number of these disciples may become cannon fodder in the fierce battle later.

When Yan Changsheng saw all the sects responding, he nodded slightly, and then the voice came out loudly:

"I know that there are still some people hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities to snatch treasures. You also have to weigh it. If you want to take advantage of the situation, you must decide whether you are qualified or not. Don't steal the chicken but lose the rice."

After giving a warning, he moved and flew towards Xia Cheng.

obviously.This time the crusade against the Xia family was led by the Randen sect, one of the Six Great Sects!

Although Yan Changsheng's cultivation level is not the highest, he is still qualified to command other sects and aristocratic families.

after all.

These sects and aristocratic families also need to consider the leader of the Randen Sect who is hiding in the dark and has never appeared.

The vast team lined up one after another and rushed towards Xia City in an orderly manner.

After only half an hour, they rushed to the front of Xia City.

The city guards were just Xiantian realm warriors. Naturally, they had never seen such a battle. They did not even dare to resist and immediately fled back to the city.

Yan Changsheng led the disciples from various sects and aristocratic families and rushed into the city without any hindrance.

He looked around and spread his voice throughout the city: "It has been found that the Xia family has colluded with evil spirits. The head of the Xia family, Xia Shanhe, has long been parasitized by the devil. As a sect and aristocratic family in Zhongzhou, how can we tolerate the evil spirits raging in Zhongzhou? Today During the crusade against the Xia family, all idlers and others should stay away."

As his voice echoed throughout the city.

The streets that were originally bustling with traffic suddenly became deserted. People immediately fled back to their houses and closed the doors tightly.

Naturally, Yan Changsheng would not care about these ordinary people. He led the disciples from various sects and aristocratic families and quickly passed through the streets of the outer city and arrived in front of the inner city!
There is still a city gate here that completely separates the inner and outer cities.

Inside is where the Xia family lives!

Vaguely, you can see a transparent light curtain outside the inner city, looming, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

It is obviously a powerful array, even more powerful than the "Four Symbols Infinite Formation"!

"All the great masters and cultivators of the corpse realm, come out and follow me to break the formation!"

Yan Changsheng shouted.

Whoosh whoosh!
In an instant.

Figures wearing different clothes soared into the sky!

There are more than a dozen of them, and their external incarnations are naturally among them.

"Brother Han, you're fine." Ling Haoran, the second head of the Ling family, looked outside and said.

The avatar outside the body handed over his hand: "It turns out to be Brother Ling. Judging from Brother Ling's aura, he should be back to his full strength, or even further. It's gratifying."

He saw that Ling Haoran's broken arm seemed to be equipped with a prosthetic limb, and his whole body exuded a fierce aura!

This means that Ling Haoran is only one step away from comprehending the artistic conception of martial arts.

Obviously, during this period, Ling Haoran also gained a lot of benefits after attacking various Xia family's territories.

"Haha, it's a blessing in disguise. I didn't expect Brother Han and Fairy Jiang to join forces. It seems they are determined to get the Xia family's important treasure." Ling Haoran smiled.

The incarnation outside the body said: "That's not true, I am just a thug, helping Fairy Jiang to stop some young people."

not far away.

When Yan Changsheng heard this, he took a deep look at his external avatar and said sternly without saying anything more:

"Attack!"

In an instant.

Waves of powerful fluctuations suddenly raged out from high in the sky.

The Grand Master and the corpse-dismantling cultivator in mid-air immediately used their own methods to blast towards the large formation in front of them!
boom boom-

A violent sound suddenly arose.

The Xia family's mountain-protecting formation wreaked havoc with layers of ripples.

Followed by.

A blazing heat radiated out and turned into blue fireballs, shooting out violently!

"This is the "Nine Nether Fire Formation", be careful and keep attacking!"

Yan Changsheng waved the feather fan in his hand, and in an instant, tornadoes flew out, smashing the flying fireballs into pieces!

but.

There were still some fireballs falling on the ground, instantly turning into a sea of ​​fire, burning some low-level disciples directly into ashes!
"Concentrate on attacking!"

Yan Changsheng waved his hand.

In an instant.

All attacks were bombarded in one area.

No matter how powerful this "Nine Nether Fire Formation" was, it couldn't stop the attacks of more than a dozen great masters and cultivators of corpse dissolution realm. After blocking for four to five minutes, it finally collapsed!
"Kill, defend my Xia family's ancestral land to the death!"

at this time.

One by one, the elite disciples of the Xia family came out with weapons in hand.

Most of these people are Xiantian realm warriors, headed by several great masters and cultivators in the corpse dissolution realm, as well as eight or nine master realms.

Boom!

The battle is about to break out!
The sounds of handovers of war are endless!
A majestic aura, accompanied by the smell of blood, instantly filled the Xia family's ancestral land!
"follow me."

The moment the battle started.

Jiang Miaoyi also flashed and immediately rushed inside.

Li Xuan naturally followed closely behind, not slowing down at all.

After a while.

Li Xuan and Jiang Miaoyi joined forces to deal with some Xia family disciples who were blocking the way.

The strongest of these people is only at the Grandmaster level, so naturally they are no match for the two of them.

The two of them walked around the rolling fields, as well as the sky-high towers and splendid palaces, and soon came to the depths of a dense forest.

There are actually nine tombstones located here, vaguely seeming to form a mysterious magic circle.

Whoosh!
at this time.

The external incarnation also fell from the sky and landed in front of the two of them.

They all have sensing charms on their bodies and can roughly sense each other's location!

Jiang Miaoyi said:

"The Xia family's secret place is hidden under these nine tombstones."

"On these nine tombstones, there are thoughts of the Second Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, vaguely forming a large formation. Non-core disciples of the Xia family will be attacked by this large formation if they step into it. Only by destroying this large formation Only by breaking it can you enter the secret place."

Li Xuan's eyes flickered, his law-breaking eyes started to work, he looked at the tombstone in front of him and said directly:
"First attack the third tombstone from the left, then the fourth tombstone from the right, and then we attack the first from the left and the ninth tombstone from the right together!"

"Okay." The avatar nodded.

Whoosh whoosh!
The two men's figures flashed, and they immediately started attacking the tombstones in the order specified by Li Xuan.

Rumbling--

In an instant.

The tombstone shook crazily, and thoughts floated on it, as if they wanted to fight back.

However, before these thoughts could take shape, they were shattered by the continuous attacks from Li Xuan and his external avatar!

Bang!
Accompanied by a loud bang.

These tombstones have cracks.

then.

Rumble!
The ground shook violently and moved to both sides, revealing an underground passage.

'Can this still happen? ! Jiang Miaoyi's pupils shrank slightly and she couldn't help but look at Li Xuan.

You must know that there is no special method for this formation. If a grand master attacks it forcefully, he will be injured.

However, the man in front of him found a flaw in the formation with just one glance, which was simply unbelievable.

This magic circle attainment is many times stronger than hers.

"Let's go, time waits for no one." Li Xuan glanced at Jiang Miaoyi.

After reading Master's experience and insights about the magic circle, his understanding of the magic circle has reached a higher level.

Coupled with the magic-breaking eye that is specialized in restraining restrictions and detecting loopholes in the magic circle, it is almost effortless to break the magic circle in front of you.

"Well, let's go."

Only then did Jiang Miaoyi react, nodded, and led the way into the underground passage.
