Three days later, on the top of a mountain more than 500 miles south of Fengliang Mountain, the mountain towered into the clouds, and Li Yan led a hundred monks to fly over.
The mountains and rivers are no longer the clear mountains and green waters of the past. There are large pieces of fallen trees everywhere, as well as burnt and blackened vegetation.
Pieces of wasteland covered with rubble seemed to have experienced the coming of Shura, with large and small pits connected one after another, and various Dharma Treasure fragments scattered in many places.
Broken limbs and rotten intestines were hung all over the charred branches, and pools of purple and black were visible as far as the eye could see. A gust of wind blew by, and there was a strong smell of burnt odor in the wind, which made people sick to smell it.
"Junior Brother Li, are you sure that the order we received is to come here to take defense?"
As soon as they flew to the top of the mountain, the expressions of Gong Yuantai and the old members of the Qing Sixteenth Team became very ugly. After Gong Yuantai was sure that Li Yan was going to stop here, he asked with a complicated look on his face.
Li Yan After hearing this, a gleam flashed in his eyes. Of course he heard the vigilance and doubts in Gong Yuantai's words, and even a hint of dissatisfaction.
At the same time, he could also feel the abnormalities in the aura fluctuations of many monks after his death. These abnormalities were revealed as soon as he stayed in the air on the top of the mountain. They were all old members of the Qing Sixteenth Team.
Li Yan took out a Jade Slip. After Divine Sense sank into it, he looked around and then raised his hand and handed Jade Slip to Gong Yuantai.
"This is the Jade Slip given above. This is the right place. The location is clearly marked above."
Gong Yuantai immediately took Jade Slip over, and at the same time, Wang Ning, Wu Ye and other newly recruited fake alchemy monks nearby also felt the changes in the expressions of the old members of the Qing Sixteenth Team.
Wang Ning has a straightforward personality and immediately asked Gong Yuantai, "What's the problem here?"
Gong Yuantai pulled Divine Sense away from Jade Slip, and his expression became more serious. Before he could answer, at this moment, two figures flew quickly from below, and someone shouted at the same time.
"But are fellow Daoists from the Qing Sixteenth Team here to take over the defense?"
Li Yan With so many of them flying over, someone below had noticed it a long time ago, but Li Yan was coming in the direction of Fengliang Mountain, which was their rear area.
Fengliang Mountain Defenses are lined up, and there are two defensive points on the east and west sides, Tumo Ridge and Jianfuyuan, to complement each other. If there are so many enemies attacking, they will definitely be discovered, and they will also get a sound transmission as soon as possible.
In addition, they received the order last night that someone would be on guard today, so they were already prepared.
Seeing someone flying quickly from below, Gong Yuantai immediately swallowed his words when they came to his lips, and the others had no choice but to move their eyes to the person below.
The two figures flew in front of Li Yan and the others at extremely fast speeds. When the rainbow light disappeared, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared.
The man was about forty years old, with a slender figure and deep-set eye sockets, but his pupils were clearly black and white. At this time, they were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his aura was like a knife.
</di>
Like a sword, it looks like a tax profit.
The woman looked to be only about thirty, with a mediocre appearance, but a plump and fair figure. A pair of lotus-rooted arms were half exposed, and she held a foot-long lancet in one hand, with a slender and sharp blade.
She was wearing a lotus green dress, and looking at her figure, she looked quite charming, but from her half-squinted eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, anyone could see that this woman was definitely not a kind person.
The clothes of these two people were somewhat torn, and there were many dark brown stains on them.
Although the female cultivators' long green skirts were a little cleaner than the male cultivators' clothes, they also had a dusty aura. Li Yan felt a chilling aura and a strong smell of blood from them!
The person who had just asked the question was the lanky male cultivator. As soon as the two of them appeared, it was the male cultivator who spoke again.
"Please show Jade Slip for defense!"
His tone was cold and devoid of any emotion. After saying that, a pair of bloodshot pupils stared firmly at Li Yan's face. He had already seen that Li Yan was the leader.
Li Yan looked at the slender male cultivator. There was a kind of vigilance in his eyes that he did not trust anyone. The female cultivator beside him seemed harmless, but the light of the sword in his hand was unsteady.
The two of them didn't have any concerns when facing hundreds of monks. On the contrary, Li Yan was more like a lamb in their mouths.
Li Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand, and a light yellow Jade Slip appeared in his palm. With a slight throw, the light yellow Jade Slip flew lightly towards the slender male cultivator.
At the same time, Li Yan said calmly, "I am the captain of the Qing Sixteenth Team, Li Yan!"
Seeing the light yellow Jade Slip flying over, the lanky male cultivator did not reach out to catch it. Instead, he flicked his robe sleeves, and a burst of energy turned into a giant palm, grabbing the light yellow Jade Slip in the palm of his hand.
A pair of eyes were still staring at Li Yan and the others. After seeing that Li Yan and the others had no other abnormal behavior, they released a ray of Divine Sense. After sensing the periphery of Jade Slip for a while and confirming that there was nothing abnormal, the slender male cultivator carefully inserted Divine Sense into Jade Slip.
After a while, the slender male cultivator Divine Sense left Jade Slip, his expression softened a lot. He first nodded to the plump female cultivator beside him, and then raised his hand to Li Yan again.
"It turns out to be fellow Daoist Li Yan. Please follow me. We'll talk about traffic and defense in cave abode below."
Speaking of this, his face showed a strong look of fatigue for the first time.
After explaining something to Li Yan, the lanky male cultivator said no more. There was a flash of light in his hand, and a palm-sized bronze compass appeared in his hand. He waved the Luo Ban downwards.
The originally empty void below spreads
There was a "buzzing" sound, and then a faint light flashed across everyone's eyes quickly.
After seeing this, many people exclaimed, "This is... an offensive and defensive formation." At this time, many people understood that no wonder these two people were not afraid of hundreds of them. It turned out that they had already been within the attack range of the opponent's formation.
It's just that this kind of "offensive and defensive formation" that can cover the entire mountain is already very difficult to refine. It is said that only Nascent Soul level formation masters can refine it, and it is generally comparable to Sect Protection Array from a second-rate sect.
Of course, the amount of spiritual stones consumed by such a large formation is very astonishing. If it is a third-rate immortal cultivating sect, it will probably take less than half a month to disperse the sect and withdraw.
Li Yan was also amazed. When he flew over this mountain just now, he felt a death threat and guessed that there might be a formation restriction here, but he had Jade Slip with him, so he felt at ease.
I just didn't expect that it would be such a large formation. If the other party recklessly activated the formation ban as soon as they met, it would be possible for the hundred or ten of them to die immediately without any precautions.
The slender male cultivator closed the compass in his palm and plunged downwards. The plump female cultivator also showed a relaxed look at this time. After waving to Li Yan and the others, she also plunged in headfirst.
Of course Li Yan and the others had no objection to the other party's proposal, and the group of people followed the man and woman to the top of the mountain.
In the process of flying down, the two monks in front didn't say a word, and the faces of the former members of the Qing Sixteenth Team in Gong Yuantai were even more gloomy and scary, and everyone looked worried.
This made the other monks, including Li Yan, feel something bad.
During the flight, Li Yan felt as if he had hit an invisible transparent wall head-on, but his body lagged slightly and passed through.
The scene that appeared in front of me at this time was completely different from the scenery in the mountain that I had just seen from the outside. This mountain had a radius of about fifty miles.
At this time, although there are many places with large tracts of fallen forest on the rolling mountains, there are still at least 30% green dots, which is a lot more vitality than outside.
Here, a team of monks were patrolling in the air. When these monks saw Li Yan led by two slender male cultivators, they just took one more look, and then flew away without even saying a word.
Soon they landed on a small platform on the top of the mountain. This platform was very simple and should have been opened up at will by someone with the magic power. The color of some rocks on the ground was very different from the weather of the mountain. It must have been a short time ago.
The platform is not big, and there are eight or nine cave entrances, large and small, on one side of the mountain.
There are seven or eight monks or monks on the platform at this time.
</di>
Standing or sitting, some of them closed their eyes and meditated, while others stared blankly in one direction. Some even held a branch in their hands and drew or dotted it on the ground, not knowing what they were writing.
Their clothes were all badly torn, and two female cultivators even exposed a piece of skin on their thighs, but their skin was covered with mud. They didn't seem to care at all, and just glanced sideways at Li Yan and the others.
Each of these people seemed to have injuries on their bodies, and the parts of someone's cut clothes were still bright red, as if they had been treated just now.
Just the appearance of those two female cultivators made more than a dozen female cultivators on Li Yan's team, including Wang Ning, have expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Although some female cultivators among the monks do not care about their appearance, most of them still pay great attention to their external appearance. Although the two female cultivators on the platform below have torn and dirty clothes, their faces are very clean. Both of them have good looks, but they seem to be indifferent to the exposed skin.
When the people on the platform saw the lanky male cultivator, some of them just nodded, and even turned a blind eye to Li Yan.
The slender monk and the plump female cultivator just nodded slightly, remained silent, and led Li Yan towards the entrance of a cave in the northeast corner of the platform.
It seems that in this world, Li Yan and their arrival are just a gust of mountain wind blowing by.
Li Yan Ever since they entered, they have felt a deathly silence. Since it was broad daylight, they also felt lifeless.
This is a very large cave, at least it is completely different from what Li Yan looked from the outside just now. It should not be a problem to accommodate one to two hundred people.
There are still twelve monks in the cave. Their clothes are also in rags, with blood and unknown liquid on them, and they all look like they are seriously injured.
The twelve people were spread out in various corners of the cave, either sitting cross-legged and meditating, or lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. There was no trace of the appearance of immortals.
When some people saw Li Yan coming, they just raised their eyelids, and no one paid attention or cast questioning glances. They were as indifferent as the monks they met outside just now.
After entering the cave, the slender monk glanced at these people and sighed softly. Although the voice was small, Li Yan was following behind him, but he could hear it clearly.
At the same time, Li Yan also saw from the side the plump female cultivator's tightly biting lower lip and the whitened joints holding the lancet. The slender male cultivator's face became even more tired.
The slender monk led Li Yan hundreds of people through the indifferent monks, and soon arrived at the back of the cave.
Seeing Li Yan and the others following him in, the slender monk did not hesitate and showed a smile to Li Yan for the first time.
"Fellow Daoist Li, next, I will explain to you the defense purpose and defense range of 'Tonggui Ridge'."
