Chapter 414 - AppearanceWhen the beast kings of the Silvermoon Forest made their moves, it was like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples!
On that day, the Azure Flame Grand Lightning Formation above Qin Feng City had its first abnormal fluctuation. At the top of the Grand Formation, a scarlet red disk floated in the air. With a flash of scarlet light, the round disk expanded with the wind, turning into a gigantic disc that blotted out the sky and blotted out the sun!Shortly after, rays of light shot out from all directions of the city and flew towards the round disc!
At this moment, an old man wearing a fiery red robe sat silently in the middle of the disc.
The grand elder"s face was calm as he closed his eyes. There were no powerful energy fluctuations around his body, but behind his head, there was a ball of flames that emitted a faint light. It was quite magical.Suddenly, in the air in front of the old man, a boy dressed in green clothes appeared. He held a jade ruyi in his hand, and his facial features were extremely exquisite; it seemed as if he was no more than seven or eight years old.
This adorable little boy looked to be about the same size as the gatekeeper of a secular monastery. However, this little boy dressed in green floated strangely in the air. His bright eyes, however, did not match the depth and distance of his age.The moment the little Daoist appeared, the old man in front of him suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were red, and when he saw the little boy in front of him, the old man"s mouth curved into a surprised smile.
"So it"s the Milky Way Sword Sect"s" Big Sword Bu Er "Elder. We haven"t seen each other for over a hundred years, but Brother Bu Er still has the same demeanor!"
An old man actually called a little boy his brother, even mentioning the past for over a hundred years. If this were in the mortal world, people would probably think that the two of them had gone mad.
Facing the red-robed old man"s greeting, the cyan-clothed little boy calmly accepted it, and then cupped his hands in return. As if he was an elder, he said in an aged voice: "Hehe, so it"s Elder Hong Ye from the Heaven"s Reflection Sect. I haven"t seen you for a long time, how have you been!"Just as the two of them exchanged pleasantries, another silhouette appeared on the round disk. This person was short and stooped. He was holding a shiny black dragon head staff in his hand and was walking slowly. It was an old woman.
The old woman walked over in the air. With each step, an inscription would light up beneath her, causing the old woman"s every step to shine brilliantly, like a lotus flower blooming with each step she took.
Upon seeing this person, both Hongye of the Heaven"s Reflection Sect and Swordsman of the Milky Way Sword Sect clasped their hands and said at the same time, "Greetings, Brother Ling Xu of the Heavenly Law Sect!"
Seeing the two people on the plate, the old woman grinned, revealing her spa.r.s.e yellow teeth. She said in a hoa.r.s.e voice: "So you are the only two people here. It seems like my legs are quick and came earlier than others."
"That may not be so!"
As soon as the old woman finished speaking, a cloud appeared in the empty s.p.a.ce three meters in front of her, and a person actually stepped out from it. Her beard was like a snowy peak, and her bald head was like a bright moon, but her lean body was shining brightly."Hur Hur, so it"s actually an Immortal River, you old thing. I have already fallen because of you!" The corner of the old woman"s mouth curled into a cold smile when she saw the Immortal River appearing in front of her.
When the Immortal River heard this, it also sneered and said, "Old Woman Ling Xu, since you"re still alive, of course my Immortal River won"t die. If you want to leave, you should be the one walking in front!"
"Hmph, that may not be so!" The old woman coldly snorted and replied!
Following which, another two people appeared on the plate. One of them was dressed in spotless white robes, holding a golden book in his hand, giving off a transcendent aura, his hair was tied up like a crane in a dream. The person beside him, however, was a disheveled old man in tattered clothes, and the two of them appeared almost at the same time.The white robed elder closed the book as he smiled at the crowd, "So there are already so many dao friends here. I am the new elder of the Heavenly Mystery Realm, Yun Zhengqing. Greetings, my fellow daoists!"
At the side, Old Qi also cupped his hands and said, "Wu Yang from the Palace of WarG.o.ds, how have you been?"When everyone saw this, they hurriedly returned the greeting. All of them did the same …
The elders and even the supreme elders had heard and heard about each other, as well as their old acquaintances. Now that they had met each other, they were talking and laughing, friendly and amiable.
However, right at this moment, a sinister laughter broke the silence in the hall.
"Hehe, all of you are worthy of being called righteous masters. You are truly magnanimous. Before long, you will fight to the death for the G.o.d Summoning. But now, you can still talk and laugh. I admire you!"
At this moment, a snow-white youth with a jade-like face, holding a folding fan in his hand, walked slowly towards the crowd with an otherworldly temperament, as if he was an elegant gentleman.
Upon seeing the young man, everyone"s expression changed slightly. That old man in ragged clothes cast a sidelong glance at them and said.
"We are gathered here today on the same righteous path, why is it that the ghost from the Heavenly Fiend Sect dares to come here and behave atrociously? Aren"t you afraid that if you are a little bit careless, your soul will shatter?"
Facing this blatant threat, the youth was not dissatisfied. Instead, he chuckled and said, "You have gained the divine summoner. Why? Can"t you let my Devil Dao step in just because you want to fight to the death?"
Hearing this, Lao Qi"s eyelids jumped. He was about to say something when Elder Hong Ye laughed out loud."Haha, since the divine summoning is from the heavens, naturally, everyone in the world can have it. Right now, it"s not only the seven sects that are fighting over it, the Heavenly Demon Sect is fighting over it as well."
"As far as I know, more than half of the world"s second-rate sects and sects are already gathered here. Of course, there are also the Myriad Demon Sect, Nether King Palace, and the upcoming Beast King Mountain!"
The young man cupped his hands and smiled, "It"s still Elder Hong Ye of the Heaven"s Reflection Sect who can differentiate right from wrong."Hong Ye smiled and turned his head to look at everyone as he said, "Everyone, the reason why we have invited everyone here today is to once again reaffirm our agreement that this Heaven Descending Divine Summoning is an opportunity that belongs to the younger generation in this world. We cannot act rashly and disobey the rules.
Everyone slowly nodded when they heard this. However, their eyes flickered with a bright glint. Clearly, they all had their own thoughts. For the chance of obtaining an outstanding younger generation within the sect, they would naturally each have their own tricks!Not to mention the meetings between the several major powers of the Qin Feng City, the situation of the Northwest Lands of the Windcloud Nation had already reached a point where it was ready to erupt at any moment.
Another day pa.s.sed. Xiang Yun was still seated within his cultivation room inside Qingming Peak. He had been swept up by the storm of Yun Li"s power from all sides.
With these two or three days of cultivation, coupled with the sect head"s three times increase in cultivation rooms and the increase in his spiritual roots, Xiang Yun"s cultivation had advanced at a tremendous pace. At this moment, he seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the middle stage of the Yellow Cloud Realm, advancing to the peak level of the Yellow Cloud Realm.However, from the fact that Xiang Yun was still frowning as he cultivated, it could be seen that his mind was not at peace. He was still thinking about that difficult problem.
Suddenly, Xiang Yun felt a familiar aura lingering outside the cultivation room. He immediately stopped cultivating and headed outside. Just as he reached the door, a white silhouette shot over from the center of the room and landed on Xiang Yun"s shoulder. It was that little fox.
In the past few days, this little guy had loved to jump onto Xiang Yun"s shoulders and play when he was bored to death. Now, he had grown used to it.
Walking out of the cultivation room, Xiang Yun saw Liu Hong standing outside."What happened?" Upon seeing Liu Hong, Xiang Yun instantly tensed up, afraid that he would hear some bad news.
Seeing Xiang Yun come out of seclusion, Liu Hong finally said, "Your Highness, don"t worry. Nothing has happened to Qingming Peak."
Hearing this, Xiang Yun relaxed before asking somewhat doubtfully, "Then what are you doing?"Liu Hong pointed to a tall mountain to the west and said, "Your Highness, there was a loud sound coming from the west just now. According to what your subordinate found out, the Sect Guardian Formation of the Joyous Sect has disappeared.
"What? The Great Formation of the Joyous Sect has been broken!"When Xiang Yun heard this …
The first person that came to his mind was the Sect Leader of the Joyful Union Sect, the peerless Lan"er who had seduced him in the City Lord"s Mansion.
Before leaving the Qin Feng City, he, Liu Hong, and Zhang San had once come to the Acacia Faction, and he had met Lan"er, who had transformed into the Sect Leader of the Acacia Faction.
Back then, Joyful Union Sect had left a rather deep impression on Xiang Yun. The entire mountain gate had been filled with women, all of whom were beautiful and charming. Xiang Yun had not expected that the current Joyful Union Sect would also be broken through by the beast tide.Liu Hong also secretly let out a sigh of relief when he saw Xiang Yun"s expression fluctuate.
Previously, he and Zhang San had wondered if the crown prince and the Sect Leader of Joyful Union Sect had met for a long time, and if the two of them had fallen in love with each other. This was also the reason why he had hurriedly come to report.
"Your Highness, why don"t your subordinate and Zhang San rush to the Joyous Sect to help?" Liu Hong probed.
However, Xiang Yun immediately shook his head, "No, the beast tide today is no small matter. Since the two of you are unable to fly in the sky or travel underground, pa.s.sing through the beast tide will also be extremely dangerous. You should stay here!"
"Then, the Joyous Sect …" Liu Hong did not continue speaking."You can leave first. Let me think about it!" Xiang Yun waved his hand as he spoke.
"Yes sir!" Liu Hong hurriedly retreated.
After Liu Hong left, Xiang Yun came to the cliff at the back and looked to the west. He saw the Acacia Gate, which had been shining brightly with the light of the formation, disappearing now. Instead, black smoke began to rise from all directions, and violent fluctuations of cloud power could be felt from time to time.
"Save or not?" At this moment, Xiang Yun was struggling internally.
The Acacia Faction had a large number of people, and rescuing them wasn"t an easy task. If he wanted to save them, he would have to spend the Heaven and Earth Escape Emblem, and he would also have to use array formations to protect them.
But since he still could not find a way to stop the beast tide, and he did not know how long Qingming Peak could last, he did not want to waste these backup plans.
While he struggled in his heart and hesitated, Xiang Yun"s consciousness subconsciously entered his storage ring. His gaze wandered over the Heaven and Earth Escape Talisman and the remaining formations.
Suddenly, Xiang Yun noticed that in the corner of his storage ring, there was a delicate scented sachet embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks.
On the scented sachet, there was a beautiful "Lan" character. This was the gift that Lan"er had given to him when he left the Joyous Sect. She had said that it could be used to save his life in times of crisis.Xiang Yun did not know what was inside the scented sachet, but upon seeing this red scented sachet, his heart stirred and he couldn"t help but let out a bitter laugh.
"It really is a cycle of karma. Everything has its limits. Forget it, just treat it as me repaying you, the scented sachet. One of the principles of chivalry is that if there"s enmity, you must repay it with kindness."
Xiang Yun had ultimately decided to go and rescue them. Moreover, he had gone alone, because only the Heaven and Earth Escape Emblem could allow him to come and go freely in this beast tide.
Xiang Yun had originally wanted to choose the Escape Symbol, but the Escape Symbol had already been used twice. He didn"t want to use it the last time and ultimately chose the Celestial Escape Symbol!He took out the talisman and stuck it on his chest. The talisman blossomed with a golden light, and in the next moment, Xiang Yun discovered that his body had suddenly turned transparent, merging into the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
Moreover, he felt that his body was incomparably light and agile. He was actually floating on the ground, as if he could fly into the blue sky with just a thought.
The little fox who had been sitting on Xiang Yun"s shoulder suddenly discovered that Xiang Yun had disappeared. It was also shocked, jumping off Xiang Yun"s shoulder. Only then did it realize that something was wrong. It turned to look for Xiang Yun, but it could not find any trace of him.
The little fox"s nose sniffed the air, attempting to sniff out Xiang Yun"s scent. However, after sniffing for a while, it was shocked to discover that there was no longer any scent of Xiang Yun in its surroundings.
