The speed at which the situation collapsed far exceeded Spirit Origin Sect's original expectations.

Originally, after the invasion, these demonic cultivators just harassed everywhere and did not cause particularly big losses.

But since Four Great Wanderers appeared one after another, the situation began to deteriorate rapidly.

In the past three days, at least ten Foundation Establishment Family were killed and more than twenty resources Stronghold were lost.

The map from Falling Goose Mountain to Looking Swallow Mountain is basically covered in red.

What's even more worrying is that the scope of activities of the demonic cultivators is still rapidly spreading outward.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Looking Swallow Mountain is lost.

The bad situation has affected everyone in the Spirit Origin Sect, and the atmosphere of the entire sect has become depressed, as if there is a dark cloud hanging over it.

On Yuan Magnetic Peak, Sect Master Gong Lingfeng lives directly in the Scripture Pavilion.

I want to find Secret Method who can fight against Soul Severing Needle from the classics left by the sages.

But as a secret technique written in a separate book, it is not that simple to crack.

According to the predictions of several Transmission Elder, it will take at least two or three months to develop effective countermeasures against Soul Severing Needle.

This time has been too long, so long that Spirit Origin Sect cannot accept it.

Spirit Origin Sect Elder Hall Here, we are also very busy.

Now you Elder not only have to worry about Soul Severing Needle's problems, but you also need to be responsible for liaising with manpower, shrinking the defense line, and re-planning the security levels of different areas.

Grand Elder Yao Dehai, staring at the map and frowning. "Is there no news from Mingjie yet?"

On the latest map, Qiu Ping County to Cyan Sun County have also fallen into the control of the Divine Fire Sect.

Especially the left and right sides of Cyan Sun County were lost immediately.

Yao Dehai had a premonition that something was wrong, and specially sent Du Mingjie as a messenger to remind Xiao Chen to evacuate from Cyan Sun Spirit Mine in time.

Cyan Sun Stone is not an important material, and it does not matter even if it is temporarily abandoned.

However, two days have passed and there is no news from Du Mingjie.

Soon a disciple responded, "Report Elder, there is no news about Master Uncle Du yet."

Yao Dehai immediately ordered, "Notify Minghui, send people to Cyan Sun Spirit Mine again, and tell Xiao Chen to evacuate in time."

However, a moment later, a new disciple came over. "Qi Elder, East Plain County was attacked by two Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator, and the head of the Yang Family has lost contact."

East Plain County is located one hundred miles west of Cyan Sun County.

Yao Dehai waved his hand to mark Dongyuan in red on the map, and saw that Cyan Sun County had been completely surrounded by red.

He couldn't help but feel his heart sink. This was not good news.

Although from the current point of view, Xiao Chen has outstanding escape skills and is not afraid of ordinary Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator.

But Divine Fire Sect was obviously aware of this, so it deliberately bypassed Cyan Sun.

Once you are trapped in a tight siege and besieged by demon cultivators from all directions, no matter how superb your escape skills are, you will still be in danger of unexpected events.

But now, Dongyuan is lost and the messenger can no longer get in Cyan Sun.

Yao Dehai can only hope in his heart that Xiao Chen can detect the abnormality by himself and take the initiative to evacuate from the spiritual mine.

In other words, after discovering a demonic cultivator nearby, he broke out directly to the rear.

Cyan Sun Spirit Mine.

Du Mingjie is currently wandering at the entrance of the Spirit Mine, anxious.

A whole day and night have passed since he arrived at the Spirit Mine.

But Xiao Chen was never seen, let alone informed of his evacuation in time.

I asked all the Qi Refining team leaders, but they only knew that Xiao Chen suddenly left Yu Jian, and no one knew where he went.

"I'm sorry if I can't wait another two hours. If I still can't wait until noon."

Du Mingjie After much thought, I still feel that I can't waste too much time here.

The situation in recent days has been chaotic, and he has to think about himself.

Suddenly, Sword Light appeared in the distance.

Du Mingjie quickly looked up and saw Xiao Chen flying back slowly.

"Oh, Daoist Xiao, you are finally back."

?

Why do you say this as soon as we meet?

Xiao Chen was a little surprised when he heard this. He had just heard a similar opening statement from Chang Shunping in the morning.

He asked curiously, "Daoist Du, is there something urgent?"

Du Mingjie took three steps at a time and stepped forward, looking nervous. "Daoist Xiao, Cyan Sun are in danger now. The specific situation is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words."

"In short, the surroundings have been completely surrounded by demonic cultivators, and the situation is extremely critical."

"Yao Elder specially asked me to inform you that we need to evacuate this place quickly."

Evacuate?

This doesn't make sense, right? It's just a few demon cultivators sneaking into the rear, how could it get to this point?

Xiao Chen asked, "Daoist Du, please don't be impatient and tell me what's going on. Why don't you miss this moment?"

Du Mingjie quickly told the story about Break Needle.

Although there is some lag in the news here, he knows far more than Chang Shunping does.

"Daoist Xiao, according to reliable information, there are currently three people in Divine Fire Sect Four Great Wanderers, all of whom have been confirmed to have participated in this intrusion."

"Looking at this situation, there should be four people here."

"This is definitely not a simple invasion, there must be follow-up measures."

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, Eastern Traveler probably couldn't come.

"I'm going to say something I shouldn't have said."

Du Mingjie licked his lips and whispered, "Falling Goose Mountain may not be able to save it."

This is not difficult to guess, because although Divine Fire Sect will send cannon fodder in to die, he will never send Four Great Wanderers in to die.

Since Four Great Wanderers dares to invade together, it means that they are sure that they will not fall into a siege.

"Oh, that's it."

After listening, Xiao Chen nodded slightly. "So, the problem now lies with Soul Severing Needle, right?"

Since Falling Goose Mountain is still there for the time being, it means that Demonic Golden Core hasn't come in yet, so it's not a big problem.

Du Mingjie looked at the calm Xiao Chen and was stunned for a moment, feeling that he did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

He quickly explained, "Daoist Xiao, I know you are extraordinary, but this time the situation is different."

"Divine Fire Sect and Four Great Wanderers are all top-notch strong men."

"Everyone has mastered the extremely evil Demonic Method, and even three or four Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator are no match for them."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "Daoist Du Don't worry, I'll also know a little bit about Law Technique."

Judging from the strength of Eastern Traveler, the remaining three are probably not very good either.

Du Mingjie hurriedly emphasized. "Daoist Xiao, don't underestimate the enemy!"

"When I came here, I heard that Wind Chasing Fox Senior Meng had been harmed by a demon cultivator."

Wind Chasing Fox is also one of Ten Heroes of Li Province. He is famous for his proficiency in Wind Escape Technique. He is said to be able to cross a hundred feet in an instant.

Logically speaking, Foundation Establishment Cultivator should be one of the hardest to kill.

After all, there is an escape technique nearby, so even if you can't defeat him, you can easily escape.

However, no one expected that he would be the first to die in He Province.

The fall of Wind Chasing Fox was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, and all the monks nearby were afraid.

They thought they were not as powerful as Wind Chasing Fox, but now even the other party could not escape their bad luck.

Then when it's their turn to face the demon cultivator, what chance do they have of winning?

Du Mingjie wanted to say something else, but suddenly saw another Sword Light light up behind him.

Then a figure in a blue robe stumbled down near the spiritual mine.

.

"Daoist Du?"

The other party looked up and saw Du Mingjie, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he staggered over as if he was drunk.

It seemed that he had just used some kind of secret escape technique and had the sequelae of it.

Xiao Chen Judging from the scattered aura, the opponent should have the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Stage 6.

"Daoist Yang, why are you here?"

Du Mingjie stepped forward in surprise and helped the other person.

The visitor is none other than Yang ZhengHao, the head of the East Plain Yang Family's family. Logically speaking, he should never appear here.

Du Mingjie rolled his eyes, and then asked in disbelief, "Is it possible that something happened to Dongyuan?"

Yang ZhengHao nodded weakly and sighed, "Oh, three Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator suddenly came, and I really have no choice."

"The other side came prepared and blocked the evacuation route in advance."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen, bowed his hands and said, "I also heard that Cyan Sun Spirit Mine has a Daoist Xiao who is very powerful."

"That's why I came all the way here and asked fellow Daoists to take me in and help me get through this difficult time."

After Yang ZhengHao finished speaking, Du Mingjie immediately froze on the spot.

The fall of Dongyuan means that Cyan Sun has fallen into a tight siege, and now he is trapped in Cyan Sun and cannot leave.

Xiao Chen returned the favor and said, "Daoist Yang is serious. You and I are both Righteous Cultivator. We should help each other. How can we accept it?"

He glanced behind Yang ZhengHao, but unfortunately he didn't find the pursuers.

"Daoist Yang?"

There was an exclamation, and it turned out that it was Chang Shunping who also came over with his tribe members.

Naturally, he also knew Yang ZhengHao. When he saw the other party appearing here, he was immediately shocked.

Du Mingjie turned around and saw Chang Shunping dragging his family with him. He couldn't help but sigh again and stopped mentioning the evacuation.

Now that Dongyuan has fallen, except for Xiao Chen who should be able to break through, they probably won't be able to leave even if they want to.

It's better to stay together in one place to keep warm, maybe there is still a chance of survival.

"Everyone, why don't we go in and talk."

Xiao Chen looked as usual and greeted, "Daoist Chang, there are still a lot of open spaces here, why not arrange the location first and talk about old times later."

After hearing this, everyone also returned to the spiritual mine together to rest and reorganize themselves.

Du Mingjie, Chang Shunping and Yang ZhengHao have similar cultivation levels, so they move around a lot on weekdays.

They exchanged the latest information with each other, and their expressions suddenly became serious.

Especially Yang ZhengHao, once again brought bad news.

As far as he knew, just yesterday morning, Senior Ruan, one of the eight Demon Slayer Guard, caught a clue and wanted to kill the lone Northern Traveler.

Unexpectedly, at the time of application in the afternoon, the Life Tablet left at home suddenly broke into pieces. It was obvious that something unexpected had happened.

Ruan Family is not far from East Plain County, so the news reached Yang ZhengHao immediately.

Chang Shunping looked like a bitter gourd. "This... this... how can this be good?"

Du Mingjie remained silent, not knowing what to do.

Logically speaking, the most sensible thing for him to do now is to remind Xiao Chen to break out of the encirclement quickly.

At the same time, they brought back the news that the three of them were trapped in Cyan Sun Spirit Mine.

If enough manpower can be gathered as soon as possible, we can come back to assist them.

But Du Mingjie knows very well in his heart that the reason why Cyan Sun is not haunted by magic cultivators now is because Xiao Chen killed White Bone Giant here not long ago.

Once Xiao Chen leaves, it is very likely that the three of them will be surrounded by demon cultivators from all directions before they can wait for support.

Therefore, out of selfish considerations, the best choice now is to keep silent about the breakout.

Keeping this most important combat force in Cyan Sun Spirit Mine can protect them for a while longer.

Maybe we can wait for a new turn of events.

However, Xiao Chen looked at him. "Daoist Du, you know the most comprehensive situation. So far, it seems that Soul Severing Needle has not appeared many times."

"So the current situation is that only Four Great Wanderers can use Soul Severing Needle Secret Technique, right?"

He had just listened carefully to the three people's stories and found that this secret technique did not seem to be popularized.

Du Mingjie was stunned when he heard this and didn't know why Xiao Chen would pay attention to such a thing.

He recalled it carefully, and then replied, "Yes, judging from the current situation, apart from Four Great Wanderers, no other magic cultivator has mastered Soul Severing Needle."

"But the problem is that the sect currently has no way to deal with Soul Severing Needle."

In fact, Spirit Origin Sect has long been concerned about this situation.

The reason why Divine Fire Sect's invasion was so overwhelming was because Four Great Wanderers relied on Soul Severing Needle to create a huge gap with the other Foundation Establishment Great Perfection monks.

If not, Ten Heroes of Li Province and Demon Slayer Guard wouldn't be helpless against them.

But the problem now is that at the level of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, Spirit Origin Sect is at an absolute disadvantage.

However, Du Mingjie's eyes suddenly lit up. "Daoist Xiao, you are asking about this situation."

"Do you have some way to fight Soul Severing Needle?"

The other two people also looked expectantly when they heard this.

Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. "That's not true, I don't know much about this aspect."

Du Mingjie's eyes darkened, then he laughed at himself.

This kind of thing definitely needs to be looked at by Transmission Elders. They have a lot of Law Techniques and rich experience, so it is easier to come up with ways to crack it.

However, the next moment, Xiao Chen changed the topic. "But I have a way to solve this problem."

As he spoke, he took out a map. "Daoist Du, Daoist Yang, please mark on the map the places where Four Great Wanderers is rumored to have been."

Du Mingjie Suddenly saw hope again.

He couldn't wait to ask, "Daoist Xiao, do you really have a solution?"

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?"

"There is a saying that goes well, if you can't solve the problem, solve the people who created it."

"Since only Four Great Wanderers can use Soul Severing Needle, then I will kill Four Directional Travelers and everything will be fine."

After listening to the three people's complementary intelligence, he had a basic understanding of the invasion.

Although it seems that the magic cultivator has a huge momentum, it is actually Four Great Wanderers that relies on Soul Severing Needle to obtain partial high-end combat power.

A large number of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and Foundation Establishment Late Stage ordinary monks were simply frightened by Soul Severing Needle.

Maybe there was no fighting at all in some Stronghold, and the original stationed monks had already run away before the demonic cultivators came.

So as long as he takes action to kill Four Great Wanderers, this invasion of demon cultivators will naturally fall apart.

???

Du Mingjie, Chang Shunping and Yang ZhengHao were all stunned in place.

This... seems to make sense.

Killing Four Great Wanderers will mean that no magic cultivator will use Soul Severing Needle, which is equivalent to solving the problem of Soul Severing Needle.

But isn't the problem now just that Soul Severing Needle cannot be solved, so Four Great Wanderers cannot be defeated?

.

Although the three of them have repeatedly advised me, I hope Xiao Chen will be more cautious.

But he still declined with a smile and got the activity track of Four Great Wanderers.

"Just think of it as being promoted to Demon Slayer Guard in advance."

Xiao Chen Follow the map and come directly to Sinew Bamboo Ridge northeast of Qiu Ping County. There is a small Spirit Vein here.

There are many dwarf pine trees on all sides of the ridge, with old trunks bent and green roots and leaves.

But many of the original houses have now been reduced to ruins.

Hundreds of disciples of the Qi Refining Realm had their blood drained and abandoned in front of the warehouse.

The warehouse where Spirit Stone was once stored was forcibly broken open, and a large number of Spirit Stone inside were looted.

Xiao Chen urges Illusion Breaking Spirit Eye to check the surrounding area.

But it is a pity that because it has been so long, there are no traces in the warehouse.

He turned around and wanted to leave, but saw a burst of fire, a Formation Flag appeared at the door of the warehouse, and then the entire warehouse was enveloped in the formation.

"Hmph, hey, there are indeed some fish that slipped through the net."

A rough voice sounded outside, and then only a command was heard, "Divine Fire Descends!"

Immediately, a large number of Spirit Fire appeared out of thin air, turning the entire warehouse into a sea of fire.

Xiao Chen Take out Hidden Fire Treasure Gourd and directly close the nearby flames.

But immediately new Spirit Fire were born, seemingly in an endless stream.

"It's interesting."

Xiao Chen really hadn't encountered many formations before, but before leaving, Du Mingjie repeatedly emphasized that Inner Demon must be careful about the traps built by Inner Demon. At this time, he became curious.

Therefore, I did not immediately use Li Fire Thunder to try to break the formation, but wanted to try the effectiveness of the formation.

However, it seems that before the Spirit Stone driving the formation is exhausted, collecting the nearby Spirit Fire alone should not be enough.

So he took out Flying Sword and wanted to see if he could break the formation violently.

"Seven Stars Swordplay--Kaiyang."

The next moment, Formation Flag at the door flashed under the control of the magic cultivator outside.

The majestic Sword Light broke out of the formation and landed directly on the hillside not far away, cutting down a large pine tree.

However, the formation itself remained intact and dodged the attack.

The person who arranged the formation to ambush here was a demon cultivator from Foundation Establishment Stage 6 - Ge Yonghai.

He turned his head and looked at the hillside outside, and was immediately startled.

If the Sword Light just fell on him, he would really be unable to eat it.

Fortunately, he had arranged the formation in advance and could use Formation Power to fight the enemy.

But the next moment, Ge Yonghai heard a sword cry, "Seven Stars Swordplay--Shaking Light."

In mid-air, the shadow of Big Dipper loomed, and seven meteors fell in succession.

In an instant, the formation was blown to pieces.

The aftermath swept over Ge Yonghai who retreated hastily, knocking him to the ground.

"This formation seems to be almost interesting."

Xiao Chen walked out slowly, carrying Flying Sword and looked at him. "Answer me a question, and I can give you a pleasure."

"Four Great Wanderers Now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ge Yonghai slapped the ground, and a large amount of dust suddenly rose up to obscure his vision.

"Bang!"

At the same time, a large wave of strong Black Mist erupted, blocking Spiritual Sense Probe.

Then Ge Yonghai turned around and ran away, turning into a streak of fire and quickly fleeing towards the east.

Xiao Chen subconsciously took out Immortal Binding Cord, trying to escape in front of him, how could it be so easy.

But just before taking action, he temporarily changed his mind, put away the rope again and chased after him with his sword.

And he deliberately controlled his speed, not far nor close, hanging fifty feet behind Ge Yonghai.

When encountering danger, monks will subconsciously choose a safe direction to escape.

For example, Yang ZhengHao will come to Cyan Sun Spirit Mine.

Therefore, the direction in which Ge Yonghai escaped is probably where Four Directional Travelers is.

The two of them chased each other and ran away, running a hundred and twenty miles eastward in one breath.

Seeing Xiao Chen catching up, Ge Yonghai used Talisman again, used pills again, and even gritted his teeth and used Blood Escape Technique once.

But no matter how fast he speeds up, the opponent can always follow him.

The only thing that makes Ge Yonghai happy is that Xiao Chen seems to be unable to close the distance.

"I'm warning you, Northern Traveler is nearby."

While Ge Yonghai was desperately urging Flying Sword, he turned around and tried to use Northern Traveler's name to scare the other party away. "If you dare to chase me again, you will be dead when Lord Walker comes over!"

However, Xiao Chen acted as if he had not heard anything, and continued to pursue, even closing a distance.

Ge Yonghai is actually trying his luck, but he does guess that Northern Traveler is here.

And this time, he made the right bet.

Not far away, under a green pine tree, a young man in a blue cloak was sitting cross-legged and meditating.

Standing near him was a two-foot-tall aqua blue Divine General, exuding no less pressure than Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, guarding him with a serious expression.

Before Xiao Chen came, I heard that Northern Traveler was good at Spirit Summoning Technique and could summon Icy Water Divine General.

Apparently, this should be the Divine General he raised.

"Master Walker, help me!"

Ge Yonghai rushed over in a hurry. "There is a fool who doesn't know how to live or die, how dare..."

Before he finished speaking, the tall Divine General lifted him up.

"Uh... well..."

Ge Yonghai struggled desperately, but his neck was directly broken, and then squeezed into a ball of blood by big hands.

Along with the top-grade Magic Robe on him, they were all crushed to pieces by Divine General.

Judging from this strange power, this Icy Water Divine General definitely has the genuine Foundation Establishment Great Perfection combat power, which is not weaker than the ordinary Body Cultivator.

Northern Traveler stood up calmly, looked up and down, and his eyes fell on East Flower Wind Sword: "Are you Xiao Chen of Cyan Sun Spirit Mine?"

"You seem to be very pushy lately."

"It is rumored that you are only Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, and you have strength comparable to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection. I wonder if it is true or not?"

Xiao Chen shook his head. "Rumors cannot be taken seriously. Of course they are rumors."

This is really not modesty.

As early as Foundation Establishment Stage 6, he was almost as strong as Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Northern Traveler A sneer hung from the corner of his mouth, "Your hypocrisy is disgusting."

"If the boss hadn't stopped us from going to Cyan Sun to find you, I would have killed you first to sacrifice the flag."

"But, since you came here to die today, you can't blame me."
