Chapter 467 The real purpose is revealed

Luyang County has a population of one million. Because of this plague, 400,000 people were killed or injured. 200,000 of them died directly from the plague, and the remaining 200,000 people fled into the mountains. Only a small part of this population can survive, and it is estimated that less than 30,000 to 50,000 people will be able to return to their homeland after the plague.

To restore the current population size, even if every household develops smoothly, it will take at least sixty years of hard work.

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan and the others had refined the elixir to suppress the plague, they would soon be able to suppress the plague. Liu Yi'an, the demon cultivator who was hiding in the dark, finally couldn't help but reveal his true colors and prepared to get rid of Zhang Zhixuan, his nemesis.

This man is a demon cultivator at the sixth level of the golden elixir, and his master is Ma Xingyue, a giant in the demonic path that everyone fears.

The main reason why Liu Yi'an wanted to spread the plague was to use dead humans and animals to refine a magic weapon called the Pox Plague Flag.

Ma Xingyue was born in the Western Qin Dynasty and accidentally inherited the magic way. However, this person was extremely talented and actually developed a unique plague spell. By chance, he reached the realm of Nascent Soul. However, when he spread the plague, people would naturally yell at him and beat him. He was besieged by seven Nascent Soul stage monks from the Western Qin Kingdom. He lost both legs and an arm, and his cultivation level could no longer improve.

Demonic monks are fiercely competitive and have a cunning and cruel personality. They dare not easily turn around and practice, otherwise their disciples may secretly rebel and kill him when he is weak.

As the fourth disciple of Ma Xingyue, Liu Yian had a good chance in the early years and got rid of Ma Xingyue's secret control. After Ma Xingyue suffered a heavy blow, he immediately chose to rebel, escaped the control of his master, and became free.

As for his senior brothers, they did not have such good luck. Ma Xingyue, who was seriously injured, was worried that he would not be able to suppress several disciples, so he used the previous prohibition to kill all the golden elixir disciples and turned them into unconscious corpses. , only after the hidden dangers have been eliminated can we start to recuperate.

The reason why Liu Yi'an came to the Yu Kingdom was that the Yu Kingdom was remote and weak. In recent years, it had lost its backers and there were no Nascent Soul monks to protect the sect.

He chose Luyang County because although Luyang County has a large population, it does not have fourth-level spiritual veins and has few high-level monks. Qingxuan Sect will not invest too many resources in the first place to investigate the person behind the plague.

He had originally planned to leave in half a year. After all, the spread of plague in Luyang County had killed many people. Once the matter got too big and caused public outrage, he might be found out and killed.

After discovering that Qingxuanzong had found a way to suppress the plague, Liu Yi'an's expression changed instantly and he quietly followed Zhang Zhixuan and the others. His cultivation was higher than the others, and he was cautious along the way. Although the four of them were vigilant, they never found the devil.

Liu Yi'an's most powerful method is to spread the plague, and the foundation is his own magical weapon, the Pox Plague Flag.

After he discovered that the Purple Sun Orb refined by Zhang Zhixuan was the nemesis of the Pox Plague Banner, although he felt the danger in his heart, in order to get rid of this tormentor, he still chose to take risks and decided to get rid of four people and completely destroy the Purple Yang Orb.

After following Zhang Zhixuan and the others for a month, Liu Yi'an already knew the cultivation level of the four of them. He thought to himself: "Although I am not good at head-on fighting, the four opponents only have one golden elixir and three purple mansions. If If one person is eliminated in a sneak attack, there should be a chance of winning in a fight. Even if the Golden Pill cultivator cannot be eliminated, as long as the treasure pill that restrains the plague banner is destroyed, it can be considered as what we want. Besides, my cultivation level is far higher than that of the four of them, so they won't be able to leave if they want. There is no way to stop it. The initiative is mine. Although this battle is risky, I will definitely win."

Thinking of this, Liu Yi'an specially set up a formation on the path that the four of them must pass, preparing to rely on the power of the formation to kill Zhang Zhixuan and the four of them.

Although without the help of spiritual veins, this simple formation is far less powerful than the mountain-protecting formation, but Liu Yi'an, who cooperates with the sixth level of the golden elixir, once they fall into the formation, it is still difficult for Zhang Zhixuan and others to have a chance of winning.

The four of them had just treated the injured near Qiyuan Mountain and were about to rush to the next spiritual mountain. Suddenly they felt the light was dim, a cold wind blew in, and the weather turned out to be a bit gloomy.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan's expressions changed, their eyes flashed with purple light, and they released the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique one after another. They suddenly discovered that there were fifty-six flags, large and small, planted around them.

The flags were pitch black, with many bones and skeletons painted on them. On each of the four flags in the southeast, northwest, and east, there was a ferocious-looking, ashen-colored dead human skull. The skull's eyes glowed green, and its mouth was full of white teeth, as if it wanted to seize people. Eat in general.

Qing Chan raised his eyes and saw that there were nine skulls of different sizes floating in the sky, appearing like shadows in the cold wind.

"This is the Nine Ghost Life-seeking Formation. The person who arranged this formation must be the Golden Core Demonic Cultivator. Master Lu immediately activated the Jade Book of Psychics and notified Patriarch Jin to come for help."

After absorbing Liu Xuanyan's memories for decades, Qingchan's knowledge is no weaker than Lu Hongniang's, and may even exceed it in some special ways. As soon as she saw this environment, her expression changed and she immediately shouted to Matchmaker Lu.

The top brass of the Qingxuan Sect knew that Yu State had the golden elixir cultivator Lu Shaoling. Decades ago, Lu Shaoling had a battle with three golden elixirs from the Huanshui Sect, severely damaging the two golden elixirs Lin Ruohua and Xia Youqing.

If it weren't for the large number of cultivators in the Purple Mansion of the Huanshui Sect who formed a formation to act as backup, the three golden elixirs of the Huanshui Sect would all have suffered a big loss. Although Lu Shaoling was successfully repelled in the end, he was still able to escape unscathed, which posed a great hidden danger to Yu State.

The nine skulls were looming, changing constantly, and soon they let out shrill shouts one after another.

The four people were trapped in the formation. When they were in it, they felt dizzy and dizzy in an instant. The cold wind was also dancing wildly in the formation, which made Zhang Zhixuan's hair stand on end and shiver.

Hearing Qingchan's reminder, Lu Hongniang immediately took out the spiritual jade book, activated her magic power instantly, and a flash of spiritual light gently passed the message to Qingyang Mountain.

The spiritual jade book is a very important fifth-level magic weapon of Qingxuan Sect. If you want to stop the spiritual jade book from transmitting messages, you often have to prepare in advance and block the space.

The Nine Ghosts Life-Calling Formation is an offensive formation and does not have the effect of blocking space. In an instant, Jin Laozu on Qingyang Mountain received a request for help.

Although Jin Laozu was in retreat and could not take action, he notified Tianchan Cave of the news, and then notified Hu Peiyu to go down the mountain immediately to reinforce everyone.

Because Liu Guyan of Tianchan Cave practiced Ziyang Tianhuo, he could not move his body, so he could only send Tang Fenglan and Nie Xingyuan to support.

However, both reinforcements were far from Luyang County. Although Hu Peiyu's side was slightly closer, it would take four days to get there from Qingyang Mountain. Tianchan Cave was even farther away. Even if Nie Xingyuan and the others traveled day and night, it would take even longer to reach the battlefield.

After passing on the information, the four of them looked at each other, and they all used their profound skills, collected their minds, released their defensive magic weapons, and protected themselves, and then released four flying swords to attack the main banner on the platform.
