Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2092 Bad News

‘Crack! ’

The sound of thunder seemed to explode in their ears. Qin Li and the little fox couldn't help but shudder, but their faces were blank.

The little fox raised its chin and glanced outside, but it was just an instinctive action, and then it lowered its head.

They were in a cave at this time. The small cave could only accommodate the two of them and a jade pillar with a dragon. Three dragons were carved on the surface of the jade pillar. They were majestic and lifelike, showing the momentum of flying with their heads held high.

The Chilong Jade Pillars were formation tools, scattered all over the island, countless in number. The two of them were responsible for guarding this place, which was considered lucky, because unless the formation was broken, the enemy's attack would not fall on them.

But in this position, they could clearly see the situation on the battlefield and were under incredible pressure.

The source of the loud noise was the island protection formation, which was under fierce attack by the enemy.

During this period of time, they have become accustomed to it and do not make a fuss about it, but their minds are always tense and every loud noise shakes their hearts.

The islands in this sea area are scattered all over the place, and all of them are protected by large formations set up by the monks of the Storm Realm. The light shield formed by the island protection formation is half above the sea surface, and the power of the formation is also protecting the sea surface, leaving the enemy no chance to take advantage.

The formation was like an eggshell. They hid in the "eggshell" and were safe for the time being, but they could never leave.

Outside the formation, there were dark clouds, wind and rain.

The weather turned out like this before the Changyou army arrived, as if foreshadowing how brutal the upcoming war would be.

Amidst the violent storm, shadows were floating in the sky and on the sea. They looked like dark clouds, but in fact they were the Changyou army and the magic ships they operated.

The crowd outside was like ants, and looking around, the enemies were endless. You know, this place is not the main battlefield, and the main force of the Changyou tribe is not here. With so many troops, it can be seen that the Changyou tribe's attack this time is unusual, and they are determined to take the North Sea.

In the shadows, the monks of the Changyou clan formed a circle. The one in the center had the highest cultivation level. They did not use any magic weapons, but they were muttering to themselves, chanting some kind of spell.

Wisps of water-blue breath floated towards the person in the center. His four ears trembled slightly, sucking the breath into his ear holes, which seemed like a bottomless pit. When he absorbed enough water-blue breath, the sea surface beneath him suddenly became turbulent, forming huge waves. The sea water surged up and condensed into a water giant on the sea surface.

Unlike the water giants that the Changyou people had transformed themselves into before, these water giants were larger in size, and they didn't need to hide inside their bodies. Even if the water giants were destroyed, they could not be hurt.

"go with!"

The man in the center pointed towards the island. The water giant roared, stomped his feet heavily on the water, jumped up, and rushed straight towards the island. The whole person curled up into a ball in mid-air, like a huge rock thrown up by a catapult, smashing hard into the formation.

'boom! ’

The water giant crashed into the light shield, and that was how the loud noise came from. So far in the battle, the Changyou tribe had not used any sophisticated tactics or powerful magic weapons. They only used this method, with teams of monks taking turns, and the offensive was one wave after another, in an orderly manner.

With such a simple and direct tactic, the Storm Realm was helpless because they could not find the enemy's weakness. Active attack could not achieve good results and they could only passively take the beating.

This time, however, was a little different.

The little fox silently counted the waves of attacks and murmured, "Why won't it stop today?"

"Could it be that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived?" Qin Li asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, we have enough supplies. And there must be other arrangements on the island that have not been used. Even if there are more people, as long as we can't break through the formation in one go, we will be safe and should be able to hold out," the little fox comforted.

The attack continued until late at night, and after a brief pause it began again, continuing for three days without any sign of stopping.

The little fox was no longer so confident. The situation outside must have changed. But they did not dare to leave their post without permission, and could not get any news.

After waiting anxiously for another two days, the enemy continued to attack. Finally, someone came to find them. It was General Hong. He handed them a bottle of spiritual liquid and brought an order.

"The formation gate will be opened at midnight tonight and we will launch an active attack. When the time comes, you will refine the spiritual fluid into the Chilong Jade Pillar and immediately meet me at Luer Mountain on the east side of the island."

"What are we going to do next?" the little fox asked.

They had long been mentally prepared that they would be sent to the battlefield sooner or later, and after these years of tempering, they were no longer as afraid as they were at the beginning. When one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer, and some things are unavoidable.

General Hong hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth. Now that they were blocked on all sides by a large formation, there was no need to worry about the news leaking out. "We should let low-level cultivators evacuate first!"

"Are you going to retreat again?"

The little fox was stunned.

General Hong whispered, "Rumor has it that the main force of the Changyou tribe is approaching us. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave!"

Qin Li and the little fox both took a deep breath. The current enemies were already overwhelming for them to deal with. Once the main force of the enemy arrived, the formation would certainly not be able to hold out for long.

The only thing to be thankful for was that those powerful seniors did not abandon them and were willing to stay behind to cover their retreat.

"Don't delay!"

General Hong gave one more instruction and left in a hurry.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was midnight. Qin Li locked onto the Chilong Jade Pillar with his spiritual sense, and finally sensed the subtle fluctuations. He nodded to the little fox, and the little fox opened the jade bottle and cast a spell to draw out the spiritual liquid.

The spiritual liquid flowed along the gaps in the Chilong's scales. The Chilong became smooth and jade-like, and looked energetic, as if it wanted to break free from the jade pillar. At the same time, Qin Li was shaken away by a huge force, and felt that the power of the Chilong jade pillar surged, as if it was going to overdraw all its strength at this moment!
"Come on!"

The little fox shouted, and the man and the fox rushed out of the cave and immediately flew towards Kagoshima. Under the dim sky, rays of light gathered towards Kagoshima from all directions.

When they arrived at Kagoshima and met General Hong, the Dharma Boat was already waiting there. When they boarded the Dharma Boat, the sky suddenly became brighter, as bright as day. Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a raging fire burning in the sky. The sea of ​​fire seemed to burn the sky through.

In an instant, the vegetation on the island dried up, the rivers dried up, and turned into a barren land. Although they had cultivated well, they gradually felt exhausted.

The sea of ​​fire was formed by the island protection formation, and its power can be seen from this.

The next moment, streams of fire shot out from the sea of ​​fire, like countless fire snakes, covering the sky and the earth.

By using their spiritual eyes, they could see that among those fire snakes, there were some human figures. Each of them had a powerful aura, and they seemed to be controlling heavenly fire and rushing towards the enemy with supreme power.

The time they chose happened to be when the Changyou tribe was rotating, which immediately caused a violent commotion.

"go!"

General Hong shouted loudly, waking everyone up, and then the magic boat under his feet took off and flew through the air.

The opportunity was fleeting, and the magic ships rushed forward like a rain of arrows. Fortunately, there were no enemies blocking them ahead, and they quickly moved away from the battlefield.

Qin Li and the little fox only saw the sky full of red clouds and the sea rising high. Faintly, there were also mysterious magic weapons floating in the sea that were as high as mountains.

Water and fire collided directly and violently, and the fog spread wildly, instantly engulfing the islands. The waves caused by the collision were extremely terrifying, and they could also feel it here.

This was the last scene they saw. They didn’t know who would win or lose in this battle, and whether those powerful senior warriors could escape unscathed.

Just as they were escaping, a huge fleet was breaking through the waves on the sea in the distance.

These treasure ships are all the most sophisticated warships of the Changyou tribe. When formed into a ship formation, they can attack or defend and are extremely powerful.

One of the largest treasure ships was the one that General Minshan carried. Minshan was on the ship, leading his troops personally.

In the meeting hall, Minshan dismissed his attendants and sat alone behind the desk with a frown on his face.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he looked towards the door, and saw a figure emerging there.

"Master Tao!"

Minshan stood up and saluted, "You are finally here!"

The person who came was an old man, the most respected elder of the Changyou tribe, and his status in the tribe was second only to the tribe leader.

Tao Lao walked into the hall, took a look at Minshan, stroked his long beard, and said, "The general must have many doubts."

Min Shan smiled bitterly. "According to my opinion, we should have gathered elite troops and attacked the Crescent Moon Realm in one fell swoop to destroy the teleportation formation. Several elders brought the order of the patriarch, and I dare not disobey, but I need an explanation."

Before the attack, he formulated a complete strategy, but it was completely overturned, forcing him to change his goal and turn to a frontal attack to seize Beichen Territory.

But if the teleportation array is not destroyed, Zhongzhou will be able to continuously send reinforcements, which will not change the overall situation, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be missed.

Elder Tao smiled slightly, "There is a piece of news. Because the time is not right, the clan leader has issued a gag order. Without the clan leader's order, they dare not spread it. Now we can tell the general..."

As he spoke, his lips moved slightly. Min Shan glared at him and said, "Are you serious?"

"How dare you report false military information?"

Elder Tao laughed, "The clan leader has just broken through, and he still needs to consolidate his cultivation. We should wait for the clan leader to come out before destroying those foreign tribes. Seeing that the general has great ambitions, the clan leader agreed to this proposal. The clan leader must be concerned about the tribe members and does not want to see too many sacrifices. Let's occupy Beichen Territory first, recuperate, and wait for the clan leader to come. It will be a piece of cake to destroy Beihai!"

Minshan was extremely excited, but also a little depressed. This was the best time for him to make achievements, but unexpectedly the clan leader made a sudden breakthrough, and one person was enough to change the situation!

For practitioners, cultivation is indeed the foundation!

Minshan sighed secretly.

"What's the current battle situation?" asked Lao Tao.

"Qingyang Temple invited many Beihai experts to leave, leaving the first line of defense empty and was destroyed by us in one fell swoop. However, they were also decisive. They saw that the situation was not good and evacuated quickly. Apart from losing the first line of defense, the loss was not great."

Minshan flicked his finger, and a sea map appeared in the void. He clicked several times, "The defense line behind is scattered. Even if the Beihai sects regroup, it will be difficult to counterattack in a short time. I ordered several elders to divide their troops and pursue them, creating the illusion of a full-scale attack on the Crescent Moon Realm to attract the enemy. I will personally lead the troops to launch a surprise attack on the Beichen Realm. With the help of Elder Tao, it will be foolproof!"

After listening to his plan carefully, Master Tao nodded with satisfaction, "Let's follow the general's plan!"

……

The waters west of the North Sea were in chaos.

The enemy was in high spirits and the monks from the North Sea retreated again and again, losing several lines of defense in a short period of time.

As the news spread, people throughout the North Sea were in panic, as if the end of the world had come.

The letter for help quickly reached Zhongzhou and Qingyang Temple.

In Qingyang Temple.

Li Yufu sent a letter to Beihai some time ago, asking his good Taoist friends to come and help Qingyang Temple to form a formation.

There are the fairies Qiu Mubai and Qiu Zhi, masters from Xuantian Palace, the Lord of Lei Mansion from Xianyue Realm, and the cold lizard from the demon clan.

With the reputation of Li Yufu and Qingyang Temple, all the sects in Beihai would give him some face. These masters gladly accepted the invitation, and the consequence was that Beihai was left empty-handed and was caught off guard by the Changyou tribe.

When receiving the letter for help, Li Yufu had already summoned all the masters and started to form a battle formation.

Over the years, all the sub-formations of Qingyang Temple have been built. Every mountain, every river, and even every inconspicuous rock and plant may hold a secret.

This move not only consumed a huge amount of energy and resources of Qingyang Temple, but the difficulty of the final step of forming the formation was beyond imagination.

Everyone was amazed when they saw the Qingyang Mountain Guarding Formation, but they were also secretly worried. Even with so many experts together, there was no absolute certainty of success.

Things have come to this point, we have to try no matter what. Li Yufu asked everyone to take charge of a corner. Of course, the core part of the formation was guarded by him, Shen Chen and Yu Nu.

Not long ago, Ji Hong also came back, but Su Nu is now in Beichen Realm.

Li Yufu, Shen Chen, Yunu and Ji Hong who were disguised as human beings, sat cross-legged at four directions of the main peak respectively, and worked together to activate the formation. The main peak emitted spiritual light, which rushed straight into the sky.

'Swish, swish, swish!'

Beams of light flashed in all directions, echoing them from afar.

In Qingyang Temple, strange lights appeared on the mountain peaks one after another. They did not form pillars of light, but turned into strange halos floating on the mountain tops.

The Qingyang audience disciples activated the formation equipment, and under the guidance of Li Yufu and others, they immersed their minds in the formation and forgot themselves completely.

The wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed, and the light was dazzling. Even though there was a large formation to cover it, all kinds of strange phenomena were formed outside.

Li Yufu and the other three changed their seals one after another and successfully stabilized the situation, but it was not easy to combine the formation. They had to carefully merge all the sub-formations. Even if the speed was fast, it would take dozens of days or even months.

At this critical moment, the bad news came and everyone was shocked.

"Master Li, what should we do now?"

"The first line of defense has been lost, the North Sea is in danger!"

“Can we interrupt it?”

"Hurry up and ask other Taoist friends for help!"

……

Everyone was extremely anxious and kept communicating with each other. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for them to concentrate and form a formation.

Li Yufu's face changed constantly, and finally he sighed, his face full of sadness and solemnity: "The safety of Beihai is of great importance, fellow Taoists, please withdraw your true essence immediately!"

There was a moment of silence. Everyone could see how much effort Qingyang Temple had put into this. Once the formation started, it must not be interrupted, otherwise the internal energy of the formation would collide and would be difficult to suppress. Qingyang Temple would inevitably suffer heavy losses and might not be able to arrange it a second time.

But they couldn't just sit back and watch the North Sea fall, so they could only stop quietly.

In the forbidden area, Qin Sang felt something and slowly opened his eyes.
