On the third day after arriving at Bright Mountain, Fang Yuan watched helplessly as Chen Sect Leader went out early in the morning with a happy face.
"Chen Sect Leader What's going on?"
She asked her master curiously.
"I heard that I got in touch with that Nine Mountains Sect Zheng Sect Leader..."
When her master saw that Chen Sect Leader was not around, he spoke a little bolder and gossiped to her in a low voice, "I heard that Venerable Chengkong got a lot of points from Nascent Soul Cultivator all the way to the Nine Mountains Sect, and Chen Sect Leader was chosen."
Fang Yuan nodded secretly. Now, Chen Sect Leader got what he wanted and got on the Nine Mountains Sect's thigh.
Being happy is natural.
But Chen Sect Leader came back crying.
As soon as he came back, he sat on the stone bench in the yard without saying a word, just staring at the clouds in the sky, and occasionally squeezing out a sigh from his mouth, which was extremely sad.
Fang Yuan was curious but did not dare to ask. However, among the people who came with him, there were also Chen Sect Leader's direct disciples. One of them asked with concern:
"Master? Isn't it a good idea for you to go out in the morning?"
"I... didn't know that Zheng Sect Leader wanted me to wait to call Spirit Transformation this morning!"
"Ah? How is this possible?" The disciple was surprised, frowned, and suddenly thought of something, glanced at Fang Yuan and the others, and whispered, "Do you want Master to be cannon fodder?"
Fang Yuan and his master lowered their heads and looked at each other vaguely, feeling that maybe...
Yes!
The cycle of cause and effect leads to unhappy retribution!
"Those Nascent Soul Cultivator..." Old Yuan sighed, "Still don't trust me enough Nine Mountains Sect."
Nine Mountains Realm Heavenly Palace Island, Old Yuan, Uncle-Master Pang, and Aunt-Master Huang all looked a little angry, but Zheng Fa comforted them:
"They regard the disciples of the affiliated sects as cannon fodder, so they naturally use themselves to judge others. They think that I, Nine Mountains Sect, also have bad intentions."
The three of them all nodded, but Uncle-Master Pang said sadly:
"If that's the case, the power of the immortal formation is too low. I'm afraid it won't be able to block Spirit Transformation's blow, and it will also let down Xiao Fairy's good intentions."
Zheng Fa looked towards Xiao Yuying on the other side.
Xiao Yuying waved his hands and said, "I can make a profit by seeing the immortal formation, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help."
Zheng Fa asked for twenty Nascent Soul Cultivator from Venerable Chengkong, and together with the four in front of him, they originally made up a Heavenly Circuit Divine Thunder Immortal Formation of Nascent Soul level.
The twenty-four people in Heavenly Circuit Divine Thunder Immortal Formation are divided into four groups. One person in each group must be the pivot, and the rest only need to obey his orders.
On the other hand, only these four people are the brains of the Immortal Formation, and they really want to understand the mystery of the Immortal Formation.
Because of this, it is impossible for these four candidates, Zheng Fa, to choose those unknown Nascent Soul - this thing is Nine Mountains's black technology, and Zheng Fa is not so generous.
Among the Nine Mountains Realm, Zheng Fa has the imperial envoy Sun-Moon Bell, and Senior Sister Zhang wants to fight with Nine Mountains Patriarch, choose four more Nascent Soul, except for the three elders Taishang, there are only Xiao Yuying or Madam Xuanhua.
But Madam Xuanhua is unsatisfactory - she is first-rate in refining weapons, third-rate in formations, and Thunder Method is unsatisfactory.
Therefore, we can only let Xiao Yuying come. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yuying understands the power of this immortal formation:
"To be honest, it's normal for them not to believe it. If I hadn't really learned this immortal formation, I wouldn't have believed... that a group of Nascent Souls could really have Spirit Transformation combat power if they cooperated."
"It's definitely incomparable." Old Yuan, the main developer of the Immortal Formation, said, "The formation has its limits. Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang and I have deduced that this Divine Thunder Immortal Formation probably has the most power, which is only eight points of Spirit Transformation's power, and it is still the weakest Spirit Transformation."
Zheng Fa slowly shook his head and said, "I don't really expect to be able to compete with Spirit Transformation. Counting me and Senior Sister Zhang, I just hope that I can withstand Great Freedom Demon Cult's offensive before Venerable Chengkong and the others come to help."
Zheng Fa Don't ask for one plus one plus one to equal three.
If it equals two, he will be satisfied.
This is how a poor child is born... Even if you put everything together, it still works.
Uncle-Master Pang sighed again, "If there are orders and prohibitions, it is naturally good to cooperate with each other tacitly... The problem is that now, they have their own agendas, and they work against each other. I am afraid that not only will they not help, but they will do bad things."
After that, he cursed again:
"I thought these disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect were difficult enough to lead!"
"Only when I meet them do I realize how well-behaved my disciples are!"
Zheng Fa and the others looked at each other, but they didn't have much good ideas in mind. Each of these Nascent Soul had lived for who knows how long, and their thoughts were very complicated, and it was not easy to let down their guard... It was really difficult to get them to work together.
We can only train these Nascent Soul Cultivator slowly.
On the fifth day after arriving at Bright Mountain, the group of people from the Nine Mountains Sect followed Chen River and entered the territory of Chenyang County.
There are about twenty Nascent Soul, more than eighty Golden Core, and nearly seven hundred Foundation Establishment.
Senior Sister Zhang led Nascent Soul Cultivator in front, followed closely by the seventy-two disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect, and then followed by the disciples under Golden Core from other sects.
The name Chen Commandery comes from the Chen River that runs through the county. Chenyang County is a county town next to the Chen River. The county town is nothing special, but the ferry at Chenyang County is extremely famous.
"Chenyang Ferry, Thousands of sails are racing, and thousands of boats are gathering. Business is like rain, and goods are like water. Within thousands of miles, the prosperity of the commercial port is unparalleled. People from other counties often get lost when they come here."
This is a record in Chenyang County Gazetteer collected by Zheng Fa. When writing this paragraph, the author's pride and pride are quite impressive.
But now, everything that made this author proud has disappeared.
There was no one on the ferry, no matter whether they were foreign merchants or local porters, there was no trace.
There are still boats, but they are just lying sideways in the water, letting the wind and sun blow and no one is taking care of them.
The only thing that could tell the word lively was the cloth banners whistling beside the shops on the shore, still trying in vain to attract customers.
"Where are the people?"
Fang Yuan looked at this scene in confusion and asked in confusion.
It was not only her who was confused, but also Senior Sister Zhang and others in front.
Uncle-Master Pang beside her whispered, "Venerable Chengkong said that the refining of this Blood-Baleful Flag would probably kill all living beings Essence Blood..."
"..."
Senior Sister Zhang said nothing, just looking at the empty ferry, his eyes darkened again.
The group of people entered the county town, and as expected, the place was deserted.
"Arrange disciples to search everywhere..."
Bringing so many people is naturally useful - the main purpose is to search everywhere, even if the things to be searched are not people, but to see if there is anything weird.
After all, Demonic Sect's methods are impossible to guard against. Venerable Chengkong and others made extremely detailed arrangements. Even though Divine Sense was searching with Nascent Soul Cultivator, he also told Zheng Fa to send someone to investigate in person and make sure not to miss anything.
Senior Sister Zhang also understood that this was a big deal. As soon as he entered the city, he took out the map and scattered the disciples of Golden Core and below everywhere.
Lin Bufan followed the other twenty-three Qi Refinement Realm disciples to search a small village outside the city - he begged Zheng Fa, and Senior Sister Zhang recalled a Foundation Establishment disciple and asked him to cooperate with the other twenty-three people to form an immortal formation.
Now they are a small team.
One person in the team was holding Comprehensive Mirror, with his eyes closed, and seemed to be communicating with other people in the forum.
"We Foundation Establishment disciples walked close, not far from the county seat, and discovered something. True Person Zhang and the others can rescue it." After a moment, the man said.
Lin Bufan nodded secretly in his heart, feeling a little relieved.
"Those Jin Alchemist brothers have gone to the nearby valley, and the other group of Foundation Establishment disciples are far away from us."
"Did you find anything?"
"Same as us."
Lin Bufan pursed his lips tightly, feeling that the other disciples were looking at him - after all, he was born in Great Freedom Demon Cult. If these people had doubts, they would naturally want to ask him.
"I'm afraid they're all dead."
Lin Bufan said.
This answer is not surprising, but it is enough to make people silent.
After searching this small village, everyone found nothing and walked towards the nearby valley. There was another village at the foot of the mountain.
Halfway through, the disciple holding Comprehensive Mirror suddenly shouted, "Brothers Jin Alchemist have discovered something!"
Everyone looked at him.
"In the valley, there are disciples of Great Freedom Demon Cult in the valley..."
Everyone looked at each other, lined up, and walked toward the valley.
"What kind of fragrance is this?"
As soon as we reached the mouth of the valley, a burst of fragrance spread to everyone's noses in the wind.
"Don't suck!"
Lin Bufan suddenly shouted. Everyone had no time to think and hurriedly threw out Clear-Qi Talisman. After a moment, someone was afraid and said, "Thank you for reacting quickly, otherwise we would have suffered."
The aroma entered their bodies, giving them a burning sensation that made their blood boil.
Clear-Qi Talisman Sweeping away the scent, their bodies gradually calmed down, but there was still the sound of something boiling:
"Gulu gulu, gulu gulu."
Lin Bufan and others walked forward following the sound, and within a few steps, they understood the source of the aroma and sound.
The valley was already low, and now a large piece of it was dug out, turning it into a pot with no visible edges.
What's boiling in the pot is... blood!
Red, black blood.
The blood boils and rolls in the pot, and dense bubbles rise and burst, releasing bursts of fragrance.
Although they could no longer smell the aroma at this time, everyone couldn't help but feel nauseated when looking at the blood pool.
"What is that?"
A disciple pointed at the blood pool and shouted.
"People..."
They finally knew where all the people from Chen Commandery had gone.
The skin and flesh of these people had long been boiled away, leaving only the bones, which reflected a stark white light in the pool of blood.
Men, women, old and young, densely packed and surging.
Lin Bufan lowered his head and looked at the skeleton of a child on the shore, which was only as high as his calf, bumping against the red-stained mud, seemingly asking him why in confusion.
"There are footprints..."
He suddenly said.
Everyone lowered their heads and saw a line of footprints walking from a distance to the edge of the pool and then disappearing.
They can all imagine the origin of this footprint--
Immortal cultivators do not have such deep and heavy footprints.
Only mortals.
These mortals lined up, ignorantly driven, like cattle and sheep towards the blood pool, and then cried and struggled, alive and conscious, and were boiled until the skin was torn apart and only the skeleton was left, and even the skeleton was boiled.
Although they are not mortals, fear and sadness arose in their hearts at this time - In the eyes of the big shots, what is the difference between Foundation Establishment disciples and mortals?
"Someone is having a fight!"
In the northwest corner of the valley, thunder and blood lit up.
"It's Heavenly Circuit Divine Thunder Immortal Formation! Those golden Alchemist brothers!"
Everyone recognized the origin of this thunder light, so the other party was naturally a disciple of Great Freedom Demon Cult. Judging from the aura, they were probably some disciples of Golden Core Stage.
"Those golden Alchemist brothers have immortal formations. As long as there is no Nascent Soul Cultivator, there is no danger!"
The disciple holding Comprehensive Mirror shouted and whispered, "Let's guard the mouth of the valley..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw several black rays of light flying from the northwest, all of them were Golden Core.
Presumably, they also discovered that disciple Nine Mountains Sect Golden Core was outrageous and ran away directly!
Those few golden elixirs were getting closer and closer. Lin Bufan raised his eyes and couldn't help but his eyes were split open - one of them was Lin Yangtian, who he thought about day and night and would never admit his mistake until he died!
Lin Yangtian originally ran for his life in a hurry, but Taniguchi's group of disciples flew up and blocked their way out.
Behind him, Nine Mountains Sect's group of Golden Core disciples seemed to have almost finished cleaning up the mess.
Being attacked from both sides, Lin Yangtian was naturally a little panicked, but upon closer inspection, he relaxed again.
"Lin Bufan? Are you still alive?"
He looked at Lin Bufan and shouted condescendingly.
Lin Bufan didn't speak, just gritted his teeth and quickly formed an immortal formation with other disciples.
Lin Yangtian saw that he and these Nine Mountains disciples were cooperating tacitly. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Brothers, it would be a sin for us to lose this blood pool, but it seems that my servant has taken refuge in the Nine Mountains Sect."
"The elders in the sect seem to be very interested in the Nine Mountains Sect."
"If we can capture him and dig out some of the Nine Mountains Sect's secrets..."
"Not only can I make up for my mistakes, I'm afraid I can also make some great achievements."
As soon as he said this, several other disciples were a little excited, but when they looked back, Nine Mountains Sect and those Golden Core disciples were almost chasing after them, but they were flying a little slower because they had to maintain their formation.
Lin Yangtian said, "Brothers, please stop the enemy behind me. This Lin Bufan is only Foundation Establishment, and he is my servant. Give me three breaths, and I can take him down..."
Upon hearing this, the other disciples of Great Freedom Demon Cult thought for a while. It was not difficult for monk Golden Core to capture monk Foundation Establishment.
What's more, Great Freedom Demon Cult has a strict hierarchy, and those at the lower level have no power to resist those at the upper level.
In this way, it is really easy for Lin Yangtian to capture this traitor Foundation Establishment.
"Hurry up, I won't be able to stop you for long!"
Lin Yangtian glanced at Lin Bufan and saw that he kept casting spells. He smiled and said, "Those things you have learned are all given to you by me..."
He raised his head towards Lin Bufan, and grabbed Lin Bufan with a big bloody hand that screamed and was filled with a billowing stench.
He didn't even use the second move, he just smiled and watched Lin Bufan move around, seemingly admiring his death struggle.
He has reason to be confident that this is a move that only monk Golden Core can learn from the secret teachings in Great Freedom Demon Cult. Not only has Lin Bufan not learned it, but even if he had learned it, he would never be able to stop it with his cultivation!
But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.
Thunder!
Lin Bufan Suddenly, dazzling lightning surged around his body!
The thunder flew around Lin Bufan, condensed into a blue spear, flew out suddenly, and pierced the palm of the big bloody hand. The thunder light spread along the lines of the palm, swallowing up Lin Yangtian's inevitable blow.
"Are you Lin Bufan?"
Lin Yangtian actually asked such a sentence.
This shows his disbelief.
Lin Bufan was startled, and suddenly understood what he meant - no, you Great Freedom Demon Cult traitor, how could you, uh, no, how could you deserve to use Thunder Method?
A strange smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Isn't this... thanks to you, Master, for sending me to the Nine Mountains Sect?"
Lin Yangtian's face froze.
"In the Nine Mountains Sect, not only can I learn Thunder Method, but I can also learn any technique..."
"..."
Lin Yangtian's face was full of disbelief.
"I gave Soul Seal to Zheng Sect Leader, but he hardly forced me to do a thing..."
"..."
Lin Yangtian stopped looking at him and only looked at the other disciples. Seeing that their expressions were the same, it seemed that Lin Bufan was not lying, so he was a little doubtful.
"Don't believe it? Have you seen this Immortal Formation Method?"
The one who was condescending just now was Lin Yangtian.
But at this moment, his former servant, Lin Bufan of the Foundation Establishment Realm, smiled like the one with a high level of cultivation. He looked at Lin Yangtian and asked word for word, "Can you learn this secret method in Great Freedom Demon Cult?"
Lin Yangtian's expression cracked inch by inch.
Of course he has seen this immortal formation.
Just now, those Nine Mountains Sect's Golden Core cooperated to defeat them. He even knew that this immortal formation could allow the Golden Core monks to exert Nascent Soul Realm's combat power.
It can be described as shocking!
An absolute secret!
But Lin Bufan...
A traitor!
A former disciple of the Demonic Sect!
Can you actually learn this secret technique?
But looking at the thunder lingering around Lin Bufan, I thought about the power of the thunder spear just now.
He had to believe it.
"Lin Yangtian, my uncle and nephew went through life and death for you, in exchange for dying in peace. I hate you day and night." Lin Bufan said, "But I also have to thank you, thank you for sending me to the Nine Mountains Sect..."
"..."
After he said this, Lin Yangtian felt a little dazed.
Lin Bufan saw that this person's defense had been broken by him, so he stopped talking nonsense and started running Heavenly Circuit Divine Thunder Immortal Formation with other disciples, vowing to kill Lin Yangtian.
As the two parties fought, Lin Yangtian's expression became more and more broken - because Lin Bufan did not lie, he and Nine Mountains Sect's disciples cooperated tacitly, and really understood the essence of the immortal formation.
At this moment, thunder suddenly came from behind him. When he turned around, he found that the previous Jin Alchemist brothers had long since disappeared!
Nine Mountains Sect's Golden Core disciples were flying towards him with eager eyes.
He was panicking, and naturally he could no longer stop the attacks from Lin Bufan and others. Three consecutive Heavenly Thunder pierced through his head and passed through his entire body, causing him to collapse on the ground, unable to resist anymore.
Lin Bufan walked towards him slowly.
"You're just... leaning on others."
Lin Yangtian looked unwilling and said intermittently.
Unexpectedly, Lin Bufan actually said, "I can rely on you, but who can you rely on? Those who can run faster than you?"
Lin Yangtian never uttered a word before he died.
Seeing his enemy die in front of him, Lin Bufan's legs went weak, like a person who had walked a long way and finally reached his destination. His whole body was weak and he fell backwards.
An arm supported him, and when he turned his head, he saw a Nine Mountains disciple supporting him and smiling at him.
He seemed to have another strength in his heart.
Senior Sister Zhang and others flew in from outside the valley, and they were holding in their hands the Golden Core disciples who had escaped before.
Lin Bufan felt that True Person Zhang seemed a little satisfied when he looked at him.
What made him even more strange was that those Nascent Soul who came from the outside seemed to be looking at him, their eyes full of deep thought.
"Why do you think these people are so serious?"
Old Yuan looked at Nascent Soul who were leaving, frowning with confusion on their faces.
Zheng Fa remembered what Senior Sister Zhang had said before, and immediately understood the reason:
The first, of course, is that the Immortal Formation really showed its effect.
Secondly...
The figure of a master scolding Fang Qiu could not help but appear in his mind:
If I give one million to a traitor, wouldn't those who are loyal to me only have several hundred million?
