The team of monks marching along the river was even more spectacular than expected. The reason was that Zhanglong Sect had recruited a large number of Xiangxi rogue cultivator. Liu Xiaolou was in the team and couldn't see exactly how many people there were, but he couldn't help but feel a little excited: I'm afraid we are sure to win this battle!
The brigade set off from Wu Chao Town and walked about twenty miles. In front of them was the main mountain pass for entry and exit from the southeast of Wulong Mountain. The large ship traveling on the Wu Chao River docked on the shore. Zhanglong Sect leader Qu Congji disembarked the ship with all the masters and came to the front. He looked up at the mountain without saying a word. After a while, he made a gesture.
Zhanglong Sect inner disciples turned around and shouted, "Set up the formation!"
The team immediately started moving and dispersed in all directions.
Liu Xiaolou followed Zang clan in the queue. There were twenty people in total. Except for the twelve people Zang family, the other eight people included himself and. Including Tan Bazhang, they were all Rogue Cultivator from Sakon. I don't know when Zang family was transferred from Hou Zheng. Where have they been placed these past few days? Suddenly they were crowded together like this.
Among the six Rogue Cultivator, Tan Bazhang actually recognized one of them and had a good relationship with him. His nickname was Tiger-Head Flood Dragon. It was said that he was Rogue Cultivator who had wandered here in the south of the Yangtze River. He was covered in tendon meat and seemed to be following the path of body training?
Tan Bazhang introduced the two of them. After Tiger-Head Flood Dragon heard that Liu Xiaolou had signed up, he put a smile on his face and came up to hold hands to meet each other with great enthusiasm. With such a posture, he wanted to join Liu Xiaolou on the spot. This made Liu Xiaolou very puzzled and muttered to himself, am I famous?
Zang Baili led the team to a mile away in the northeast. He held a piece of jade in his hand. Liu Xiaolou recognized it at a glance as a formation disk. A wave of light like running water flashed across the jade array disk. Zang Baili turned back and looked in the direction of Sect Master Qu, quietly waiting for the Zhanglong Sect's next order.
In addition to Zang family, more than ten vassal branches such as Mingyu Villa, Black Tiger Stockade, Changshan Sword Sect, Zheng, and Dongxi also dispersed in groups, each standing within three miles of Fang Yuan, guarding the Zhanglong Sect main sect in the central front.
Liu Xiaolou has refined the formation disk, and now it is clear that Zhanglong Sect has set up a large formation and is ready to fight Qingyu Sect.
The fight between the Renowned Great Sect is indeed different from that of Rogue Cultivator. They are playing with formations, while Rogue Cultivator are playing with a wave of rush and judgment.
Now that there is a large formation to protect him, Liu Xiaolou in the formation feels much more at ease and is no longer so worried. He chats with Tan Bazhang and Tiger-Head Flood Dragon for a few words, relaxes his tense mind, and even looks forward to the capture when the battle is won - if there is a chance to capture it.
After just a few words of chatting, Zhanglong Sect's main formation flew out two sword lights. The sword lights were as fast as galloping horses, flying left and right towards the two wings. Zang clan was on the right wing of the formation. The sword light stopped in front of Zang Baili. There was a person wrapped in the sword light, it was Zhanglong Sect Sword Control Technique!
This is a method only available to people with cultivation levels above Jindan. Zang Baili stepped forward to greet him, "Elder Qu!"
Qu Clan is the main branch of the Zhanglong Sect, and has always firmly controlled the Zhanglong Sect portal. Not only the leader, but also many elders have come from the Qu Clan over the years. This Elder Qu ordered, "Qingyu Sect has not moved, send someone into the mountain to investigate."
Zang Baili bowed and answered, "Yes!"
Zang Baili turned around and said, "Tan Bazhang, Liu Xiaolou, you two are from Wulong Mountain. You are familiar with the terrain. Go into the mountain quickly to investigate and report back the details of the mountain."
Liu Xiaolou suddenly felt bitter and reluctantly walked out of the queue with Tan Bazhang.
Suddenly a person came out and said loudly, "Master Zang, I have known Xiaolou and Eight Palms not long ago, but we hit it off instantly. We are brothers of life and death. Although I am not talented, I am willing to go with these two brothers!"
Liu Xiaolou was speechless. He looked at Tan Bazhang and even Tan Bazhang was a little dazed. Why did he feel like old friends at first sight? Why are brothers living and dying?
Zang Baili stroked his beard and said, "Great kindness! If you don't care about your life, how can I care about money? In this way, if your three brothers find out the enemy's situation, after reporting it, each of you will be rewarded with a spiritual stone!"
Huh? Didn't it mean that being drafted into a war meant that one could only snatch property from the enemy? There is actually a reward today? It's really unprecedented!
In any case, there are people who are willing to take risks and go with them, and there are rewards waiting behind them. Liu Xiaolou's uneasy heart has regained its peace of mind, and his courage has increased sharply!
It's just a trip home. Qingyu Sect is a foreigner. No one is familiar with the terrain of Wulong Mountain. Well, it shouldn't be a big problem.
The three of them left the formation and rushed towards Wulong Mountain, two miles away. Liu Xiaolou and Tan Bazhang were both landlords, so of course they would not take the main road foolishly. There were many paths into the mountains, which were as difficult for ordinary people as the trails to the sky. For monks like them, it was just a little extra movement - using their hands and feet together, and they soon entered Wulong Mountain.
Standing on the hillside of the first mountain, looking back to where I came from, I saw that the formation set up by the Zhanglong Sect at the foot of the mountain was beginning to take shape. Hundreds of monks were divided into thirteen places, forming thirteen formation nodes, like a circling dragon, roaring at Wulong Mountain with its teeth and claws.
"Is this Purple Gold Roaming Dragon Formation of the Zhanglong Sect?" Tan Bazhang murmured.
"Purple Gold Roaming Dragon Formation? Is it awesome?" Liu Xiaolou is also the first time he heard this name.
"I heard it's very powerful, and it kills fiercely... Let's go and come back quickly." Tiger-Head Flood Dragon urged.
The three people agreed on a plan and prepared to climb Jade Maiden Peak to investigate. Jade Maiden Peak is a high mountain, which is good for overlooking. So Tan Bazhang asked Liu Xiaolou for his opinion, "Xiaolou, should we go with Broken Arm Cliff or A Thread of Sky?"
Liu Xiaolou went up the mountain when he was eight years old, and Tan Bazhang just moved from the bottom of the mountain last year. In terms of route selection, Liu Xiaolou is naturally the authority. He immediately said, "There is also Jade Maiden Peak from Viewing Rock in the north. Don't you know Brother Tan?"
Tan Bazhang shook his head. "I really haven't been there. Then take Viewing Rock, there are fewer people walking that way."
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon suggested. "Since there are three roads, why don't we and the three of us take one each, and finally end up at Jade Maiden Peak? Three roads concurrently, we can see more."
Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and said, "That's fine. None of you are familiar with Viewing Rock, I'll take that path; Brother Tan will take Broken Arm Cliff; Brother Hutou will take A Thread of Sky...Brother Hutou Look, heading west from here, have you seen the pine forest? Yes, through it, there are two forked mountain roads. Go straight down to the forked road and you will see a creek. Follow the creek and you will see A Thread of Sky... The cliffs on both sides are very narrow at the narrowest point, and the sky looks like a line..."
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon looked at the mountain road according to his instructions and nodded in agreement. "I know, don't worry!"
Liu Xiaolou was actually not at ease with him. After all, he was a foreigner and had never entered Wulong Mountain, so he said a few more words, pointed to a few more easily identifiable sign locations, and then warned, "I heard Brother Tan say, Brother Hutou, you are Qi Refining sixth layer, so I guess. You are not weak, at least you are better than my brother. But Wulong Mountain is full of fog and miasma, which hinders the perception of true energy. Brother Hutou is from the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that the terrain there is flat and dominated by rivers and lakes, so the perception may be sharp, but in many places in Wulong Mountain, perception cannot be relied on. It is only right to see and listen more."
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon smiled and said, "Thank you Xiaolou. Brother Wei knows it. In fact, this is the case in most mountains everywhere. Brother Wei has experienced a lot!"
So the three of them separated and each went his own way.
