"Junior Brother Bai."

Outside a blue-tiled house in a complex of ancient buildings shrouded in mist, a young man wearing a light blue robe, with his hair tied up, and a fair face with a kind smile said hello. road.

The Junior Brother Bai he was talking about was a short, chubby young man with a stocky build and a somewhat chubby appearance. At this time, he was sitting seriously on a futon in the blue-tiled room. His appearance was solemn, as if he was practicing meditation. But based on the man's understanding of him, he understood that this guy was lazy and dozing off again.

When he heard someone greeting him, the short and fat young man named Junior Brother Bai quickly woke up from his half-asleep state.

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhao." When he saw the person coming, Junior Brother Bai stood up from the futon with an embarrassed look on his face and greeted him with a naive smile.

"Hey, is it time to hand over the shift already?" Then, Junior Brother Bai looked up at the sky outside the house and said excitedly.

Obviously, this junior brother named Bai is just like the white-collar workers in the secular world, full of enthusiasm for rest and so on.

"Yes." Senior Brother Zhao confirmed with a smile.

"Great, I can finally go back to sleep." Junior Brother Bai said in a tone that sounded like he was relieved. Then he quickly took out a blue-white jade slip from his arms and handed it to Senior Brother Zhao.

"Now that the handover of things is over, I'll leave first, Senior Brother Zhao." Junior Brother Bai looked at Senior Brother Zhao with an expectant look.

"Okay, let's go." Senior Brother Zhao shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile.

"Hehe. I'll leave the one stationed in the Spirit Hall to Senior Brother Zhao. I'm leaving." Junior Brother Bai chuckled when he heard this, turned around and ran out of the blue-tiled room quickly, and disappeared into the thick night after a while. .

Senior Brother Zhao shook his head helplessly, raised his head and looked into the room called the Soul Residence Hall.

Instantly, one after another, like ancient copper oil lamps, with brass bases and small flames burning on them, came into his eyes. They were spaced apart from each other in rows and placed high or low. on wooden shelf.

These oil lamps have a scientific name. It's called a soul-awakening lamp. As the name suggests, every flame lit on the lamp here represents whether the person's soul is intact. If something goes wrong - that is, a disconnection such as death occurs, an oil lamp will go out on its own. In this way, he can report his status to the people such as Senior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Bai and others who are here. To attract the attention of the teacher.

Senior Brother Zhao looked at the many intact oil lamps and nodded slightly. He turned around and walked to the futon beside him and sat down cross-legged. However, just when he was about to close his eyes and start meditating, an oil lamp suddenly went out with a "whoosh" sound.

Seeing such a change, Senior Brother Zhao took action. There was a look of surprise on his face.

But in the next moment, the flames burning on more oil lamps were extinguished one after another.

"This is... things are going to change..." Senior Brother Zhao looked at the dozens of extinguished soul lamps in the Soul Residence Hall with trembling lips and murmured with dull eyes.

"call!"

Another oil lamp went out.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Zhao immediately came back to his senses, jumped off the futon, hurriedly walked to the extinguished oil lamps, took out the green and white jade slip that Junior Brother Bai had given him before, made a seal with one hand, and put a trace of The thread of silk smoke was drawn from the extinguished oil lamp to the jade slip.

The next moment, familiar or unfamiliar names appeared on the blank surface of the jade slip.

Then Senior Brother Zhao did not dare to hesitate, held the jade slip in his hand and hurried towards the palace where the elder on duty was staying.

In less than a minute, Senior Brother Zhao appeared in front of a magnificent ancient building.

Senior Brother Zhao stood still and said in a respectful voice, "Zhao Shouren, who is on duty at the Soul Hall, would like to see Elder Wang. I have something urgent to report."

After the sound, there was silence in the building in front of him.

Zhao Shouren did not rush him, but still kept his bowed posture and waited outside the door.

Then about ten seconds later, accompanied by a strange "crunching" sound, the door was closed tightly in front of Zhao Shouren and slowly opened to both sides.

"Follow me." The male disciple who opened the door said in a cold tone.

After saying that, he ignored Zhao Shouren, turned around and walked into the inner room. Zhao Shouren did not dare to hesitate, followed quickly with light steps.

Under the leadership of the male disciple, the two walked through the spacious courtyard and entered the room. They walked straight through several halls and rooms until they stopped completely in front of a closed door.

"Master, I've brought you here." At this time, the male disciple who led the way bowed at the door and said.

It turns out that this man is the disciple of the elder, no wonder his attitude is so cold.

"Let him come in." An old voice came from the room through the door.

"Yes." The male disciple responded respectfully, then stepped forward and opened the door.

Zhao Shouren bowed to the male disciple and walked quickly into the room.

The room is not big, about the same size as the ancient bedrooms in movies and TV series, and even the decoration is the same. A middle-aged woman wearing brocade clothes, with a fair and solemn face, and long black hair tied on top of her head with a jade hairpin, sat cross-legged in a meditative posture on the antique brown wooden bed with intricate carvings in the room.

This middle-aged woman was the elder Wang that Zhao Shouren asked to see.

"I've met Elder Wang." Zhao Shouren bowed and saluted.

"What's the matter?" Elder Wang asked in an indifferent tone without moving or opening his eyes, still maintaining a meditating posture.

"The soul lamp in the Soul Hall has gone out." Zhao Shouren replied quickly.

"You can just report this kind of trivial matter to the steward. Why do you need to come and tell it to me?" Elder Wang said in a cold voice, his brows furrowed slightly when he heard this. Obviously. In her mind, she just regarded this as an ordinary soul lamp being extinguished, and did not think about the death of a large number of people. Instead, she was thinking about whether this disciple wanted to use this as an excuse to express himself to her and seek her to look at him differently. .

After all, although things like this were rare in the past, it was not unheard of.

"No. Elder, this time it was not just a simple soul lamp that went out, but at that moment, as many as twenty-eight soul lamps were extinguished at the same time. This matter has exceeded the authority of the steward, so the disciple came to directly Let me inform you." Zhao Shouren, sensing the change in the elder's attitude, quickly explained.

"What!?" Hearing the number of soul lamps extinguished, Elder Wang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining directly at Zhao Shouren and exclaimed.

The moment Elder Wang opened his eyes, a powerful pressure enveloped Zhao Shouren.

"Yes, Elder. This is the list of disciples whose soul lamps have been extinguished. Please take a look at it." Under the pressure and shock, Zhao Shouren, who turned pale, took out the green and white jade slip and brought it to Elder Wang with both hands.

Elder Wang grabbed the jade slip, lowered his head and browsed quickly.

"These are..." Looking at the names appearing on the jade slips. Elder Wang's expression couldn't help but change.

As an elder within the sect. She knew something about the pie. So the moment she saw the names on the list, she knew who these people were and what they were currently responsible for. So almost instinctively, Elder Wang understood that someone must have been attacking the recently acquired enclave of Mingfeng Cave. Otherwise, how could there be such huge casualties?

"Who is it? Is it someone from the Loushan Sect?" Elder Wang's expression changed again and he thought to himself.

Until now, she had not thought about the possibility that someone else had attacked them.

"No, please inform the leader immediately."

Thinking like this, Elder Wang immediately stood up from the wooden bed, transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared from the room in an instant.

The next moment, Elder Wang's figure appeared in front of another majestic house. He stretched out his hand unceremoniously and pushed open the door in front of him. While walking quickly inside, he shouted in a loud voice, "Is the leader here, Wang Xuexia?" ask to see."

"What's the matter?" Almost at the moment Wang Xuexia finished speaking, a man with a majestic face suddenly appeared in the room, frowning slightly and asking in a deep voice with a slightly unhappy look on his face.

"Meet the leader." Seeing the person coming, Wang Xuexia quickly stopped and bowed.

The man nodded slightly, walked to a chair nearby and sat down.

"The leader is in trouble, something happened over there in the enclave." After saluting, Wang Xuexia said anxiously.

"What?" The man's face moved slightly and he asked.

"I just received a report from the disciples stationed in the Soul Hall. A large number of disciples' soul lamps suddenly went out. After checking the list, I found that these dead disciples were all the disciples stationed in the enclave before! So if nothing happens, If so, the enclave must have been attacked and has probably fallen now." Wang Xuexia said, handing the white and green jade slip to the leader.

The leader took the jade slip and looked down at it. Then there was a "whoosh", and the man suddenly stood up from the chair, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Come here, call Elder Liu and Elder Xing!" the man ordered in a loud voice.

"Yes." A disciple's voice responded.

Then two or three minutes later, two middle-aged men of about the same height, one with a majestic face and a cold expression, the other with a kind face and always smiling, walked into the room.

"I've met the master." When they saw the man sitting on the master's seat, they both saluted and greeted him.

"Junior brothers, please take a seat." The man pointed to the empty seat beside him and said.

The two of them didn't show any pretense when they heard this, and each sat down.

"I don't know why the master brother summoned us so late at night?" the kind man asked.

"Junior sister Wang, please tell me." The leader ordered.

"Yes." Wang Xuexia agreed, then turned to look at the kind man and the cold man and said, "Brother Xing, Junior Brother Liu, just now..."

Wang Xuexia explained the entire incident to the two of them in detail.

"What do you think about this matter?" After Wang Xuexia finished speaking, the leader asked.

"Who else could it be? It must be the family members of the Loushan sect. Otherwise, how could our disciples be so seriously injured in an instant! And only Wang Fuxiao of the Loushan sect could force Liu Shan to stay. Junior brother, let him not even send a signal back." Wang Xuexia said through gritted teeth.

Hearing Wang Xuexia's words, the eyes of the leader and the other two people moved.

"Probably not. The Loushan Sect is a big sect anyway, and I would never do such a breach of contract." The kind-hearted man with a smile said hesitantly.

This is also the reason why the leader and the other person did not make a decision immediately.

"Junior brother Liu, money and silk are very touching." Wang Xuexia shook her head and said.

"In the world of wealth and silk, we have already divided what we can divide earlier. Now all that is left is the medicine garden in the enclave. The people of the Loushan sect should not be so unwise to fight for that little elixir. We're so embarrassed." The dignified man, Senior Brother Xing, disagreed.

"If it's not them, can it be someone else? Who has the courage to offend both of our factions at the same time? Aren't you afraid that we will attack them in groups!" Wang Xuexia sneered with disbelief.

"Could it be those women from Mingfeng Cave?" the man surnamed Liu said with a frown.

"Probably not. There are only two golden elixirs in their lineage, and the head of them, Long Ying, was deprived of his cultivation by us and became a useless person. Although the other one, Bai Yunzhu, escaped, but in terms of cultivation and Liu There is still a certain gap between Junior Brother and Junior Brother. It is absolutely impossible to force Junior Brother Liu to the point where he cannot even send a signal back. Moreover, it is impossible for our disciples to die so many people at once, so I think an attack from external forces is the most likely possibility. ." Senior Brother Xing analyzed.

After hearing what Senior Brother Xing said, except for Wang Xuexia who seemed to be convinced that it was the Yushan Sect that was responsible, both the leader and the man surnamed Liu felt that it made sense.

"But the top priority now is to send manpower to Mingfeng Mountain to see the situation there and to see Junior Brother Liu who may still be there after rescue." Then, the man surnamed Xing said again.

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the room all turned their attention to the leader.

"That's it." The leader said decisively, and then raised his voice and ordered, "Elder Liu, Elder Wang."

"My subordinates are here." Wang Xuexia and Elder Liu stood up and said, clasping their fists.

"I order you two to immediately lead eight Pill Mirror disciples and twenty Foundation Establishment Stage disciples to Mingfeng Mountain to check the situation."

"Yes." The two of them accepted the order, then turned and left the room.

"Elder Xing, from now on, the entire mountain is on alert. We must not leave any opportunity for possible enemies." Then, the man in charge turned his attention to Elder Xing and ordered.

"Yes." Elder Xing stood up and responded, and then exited the room, leaving only the man in charge who was frowning and thinking about something.

Then about seven or eight minutes later, a group of thirty people turned into a ray of light and shot into the night sky, flying rapidly towards the direction of Mingfeng Mountain in Yunnan Province.

At the same time, people from the Yushan Sect in your province also made the same choice as them.

Now the screen shifts to the Mingfeng Cave side of Mingfeng Mountain, and the time moves forward slightly.

Under the attack of Ito Cheng, who had reached the crushing level, almost instantly, except for the two golden elixirs, all the disciples of the two factions left behind at the gate of Mingfeng Cave were captured and killed by Ito Cheng, using the rules of space to kill them. The body was sent to another world.

Then Ito Cheng's figure flashed and returned to the main building... (To be continued...)
