Chapter 648 Foreign invasion
After eight years, perhaps because of the evil aura in the monks from the country of Li, the Green Boy Demon King of Poison Dragon Pond finally stopped jumping up and down and returned to his lair.
Because the Qingxuan Sect monks took the initiative to retreat, the fourth-level spiritual veins such as Jiaohe and Tuoshan fell into the hands of the fourth-level monsters.
However, on Guiyuan Mountain, there is still no fifth-level monster that dares to appear.
Compared to the demonic beast forces in the Poison Dragon Pond, the power of the Yu Kingdom monks is already stronger.
With Liu Lingjun, Liu Guyan, and Qing Chan in charge, apart from being unable to attack the Poison Dragon Pond, the Yu Kingdom monks have become more proactive.
Under the command of Qingtong Demon King, apart from the descendants of his own Poison Dragon Pond headquarters, there are only four fifth-level monsters left.
These four fifth-level monsters have been frightened out of their wits. They are not lacking in spiritual veins, so naturally they dare not come to Guiyuan Mountain to provoke Qingxuan Sect.
During the eight years that Zhang Zhixuan was refining alchemy, many major events happened in Qingxuan Sect.
Zhu Wuya passed away three years ago. Because Zhang Zhixuan couldn't get away from making elixirs, Han Yan attended Zhu Wuya's funeral on his behalf, sending this veteran Zifu on his last journey.
After Zhou Zijian refined the inner elixir of the demon beast, just as Patriarch Jin and others expected, he failed to form the elixir successfully.
A precious fifth-level monster inner elixir was wasted on him.
On the contrary, Su Dehui, a disciple of Gu Xuanzhou in Tianchan Cave, successfully formed the golden elixir and became the sixth golden elixir stage monk in Tianchan Cave.
Huanshui Sect Chen Yunfeng has two fifth-level demonic beast inner elixirs in his hands, and he should be able to cultivate a golden elixir.
However, Chen Yunfeng and the other three have different opinions and have not yet decided who to train?
The reason why Zhang Zhixuan insisted on leaving the demonic beast inner elixir to Zhou Zijian was just to set a strict rule.
When it comes to redeeming a key spiritual item like the fifth-level demon pill, there must be a clear explanation and clear conditions.
The most taboo thing is to be vague and leave gaps for future generations.
Qingxuanzong has always been weak in strength in the past, and each generation devoted all its efforts to cultivating a golden elixir seed.
As for who will be trained? The decision is almost always made by the ancestor of the sect’s golden elixir.
Unfortunately, in the generation of Patriarch Jin and Zhang Zhixuan, Qingxuan Sect gradually developed and expanded, and this rule can no longer be enforced.
There are only two conditions left to redeem the elixir-forming spiritual items, the first is based on merit, and the second is based on qualifications and spiritual roots.
Since we have decided to put merit first, even if there are losses, we must resolutely implement and maintain this rule.
Unless it involves Qing Chan and Han Yan, Zhang Zhixuan has always been a person who values rules. However, his personality is not rigid, so he will not be bound by the rules of the family, and he will sometimes be flexible.
It took eight years to refine the elixir, which somewhat slowed down Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation progress.
He was preparing to retreat for a period of time when an urgent transmission note appeared in his cave.
In the past few years, five Jindan monks have been crowded in Qingyang Mountain, and the spiritual energy on the mountain has become somewhat insufficient.
Lu Hongniang simply returned to her cave in Zhongxuan Mountain. Zhang Zhixuan and the others also needed to refine spiritual stones and practice in order to avoid draining Qingyang Mountain's spiritual energy.
"What happened? Did you interrupt our retreat?"
Zhang Zhixuan said: "Wei Bohan sent the transmission notes. Yuntai Shanfang City was invaded. Zifu monk Han Wangpeng was killed on the spot. Four of the foundation-building monks guarding Yuntai Mountain died in the battle."
Qingchan then asked: "Who made the move?"
"It's not clear yet, but there is only one monk who took action. It seems that he should be a master of Jindan, otherwise he would not kill Han Wangpeng easily."
There are now four Golden elixir monks settled on Qingyang Mountain. The Jin ancestors had closed the death gate five years ago and were preparing to break through the eighth level of the Golden elixir.
Only when there is a danger of destroying the door can one alert him to open and close the door.
Therefore, Wei Boxan could only send the transmission talisman into Zhang Zhixuan's cave.
Zhang Zhixuan smiled bitterly, opened the door of the cave, and went directly to the General Affairs Hall with Qing Chan.
When he saw Wei Boxan, Zhang Zhixuan stopped him from bowing and saluting, and said directly: "What is the situation in Yuntai Mountain?"
Wei Bohan said: "I am confused now. According to the reports of the surviving disciples, a Jindan monk sneaked into Fang City, killed Senior Brother Han, and then looted Baoguang Pavilion. If it weren't for saving time, just I’m afraid that all the monks in the city will die.”
"How much time has passed?"
"According to the information sent by my disciples through the psychic jade book, it has been more than an hour."
Zhang Zhixuan shook his head. The golden elixir monk's escape speed can cover at least three thousand miles in one hour. Such a long journey has exceeded the spiritual sense of a monk at the Nascent Soul stage.
He didn't have time to be polite to Wei Bohan, so he took the Qingyang Mountain teleportation array directly to Lingjing Mountain, saving a lot of distance.
Then he launched the divine boat all the way and flew towards Yuntai Mountain.
Although I don’t know what happened to Yuntai Mountain, I can’t ignore it. Moreover, Han Wangpeng has a close relationship with Zhang Zhixuan, and Zhang Zhixuan also wants to avenge him.
Yuntai Mountain is located in the northern part of Duanyun Mountain Range and is a large area of alpine dense forest.
In the past hundred years or so, the four northern counties have been peaceful. After Jindan Demon Cultivator Liu Yi'an died in Luyang County, ordinary low-level demon cultivators did not dare to come to Yu Kingdom to fight the autumn wind.
After more than a hundred years of peace, Yuntai Shanfang City has developed extremely fast, earning a net profit of 14,000 spiritual stones for the General Affairs Hall every year.
Yuntai Mountain is still relatively far away from Lingjing Mountain, about less than 20,000 miles away.
Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan drove for a long time before arriving at the gate of Yuntai Mountain.
It was evening, and the city was already silent.
The three foundation-building monks of Qingxuan Sect are still guarding the scene to prevent anyone from destroying the clues and causing the Jindan Patriarch to find his enemy.
The foreign monks who entered the market for shopping were also gathered together, ready to investigate and inquire at any time.
The two entered the market and came to the place where Han Wangpeng was enthroned. A thin line passed directly between Han Wangpeng's eyebrows. In the Baoguang Pavilion shop, more than ten disciples died almost at the same time.
"What do you think?" Zhang Zhixuan turned his head and asked Qingchan in a low voice.
More than half a day has passed. According to the speed of the golden elixir stage monks, they may have already traveled tens of thousands of miles.
There were very few clues at the scene, and Zhang Zhixuan was also a little frustrated. Whether he could find his enemy could only depend on fate.
After entering Fang City, Qing Chan's face was a little solemn. She put up a layer of protective shield and said with a gloomy face: "They were all killed in one blow. There were no traces of fighting, and no extra mana was used. Manipulating the mana It’s so delicate and the heat is no weaker than mine.”
After listening to Qingchan's analysis, Zhang Zhixuan's expression changed and he said, "Could it be the old monster Yuanying who did it?"
Qingchan nodded lightly and said: "It is more likely that he is the person who seizes the body or reverses the calamity. Looking at the mana fluctuations left at the scene, this person should have just formed the elixir, and is far inferior to you and me."
"Is there any way to find someone?"
"It depends on whether this person is proficient in the demonic power. If it is the demonic Nascent Soul's transformation, my method will probably be useless."
