A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 357: White Pond Mountain

Views:

The west peak of Baichi Mountain is bigger than Han Li imagined. There is not only an ancient temple built on the entire peak, but also more than a dozen large and small stone pavilions, where groups of immortal cultivators have had long talks.

Of course, outside the pavilion and the monastery, some monks were also sparsely walking back and forth. It seems that this Baichishan gathering, some people have already arrived early in a hurry.

Han Li looked over the peak for a while, then circled around and landed at a remote corner of the peak. Afterwards, Han Li took Qu Hun and casually walked towards several nearby stone pavilions.

With Han Li's strong spiritual sense, he could clearly hear all the conversations of the monks in the stone pavilion in a short while.

One of them, the stone pavilion where four immortal cultivators were talking at length, entered Han Li's eyes.

Han Li listened intently, and what he was talking about was the battle between the seven factions of the Yue Kingdom and the Demon Dao.

"This big defeat against the Demonic Dao not only forced the six sects of the Yue Kingdom to flee their homeland, but even our Yuanwu and Zijin countries will face catastrophe in the future. Now let's see that the next step of the Demonic Dao is to attack our Yuanwu first, It's time to attack Zijin." Among the four, the pale-faced middle-aged man said with a sigh.

"Yes, in the last battle, although the strength of the six sects was greatly damaged, 50 to 60% of the monks from the two countries who went to help the boxing also lost 50% to 60%! This time, the Tianxing sect and other immortal sects will be devastated!" Another one in his twenties The young man gloated and said.

Hearing the young man's words, the two old men among the other three looked as usual and didn't respond, but the middle-aged man who had just started talking couldn't help but smiled wryly, and opened his mouth to say something more.

But at this moment, someone else's voice came from the side.

"I'm afraid that the big sects such as the Tianxing Sect are in dire straits, and the life of us loose cultivators and immortal cultivators will become even more difficult. People in the devil way pay attention to the law of the jungle, and we will not be as relaxed as we are today. Feel free." Han Licong walked over slowly, but he revealed the original intention of the middle-aged man's wry smile.

When the four people heard that there were outsiders nearby, they were startled at first, and immediately fell silent.

But when they found out that Han Li's cultivation level could not be seen, several people showed a trace of uneasiness on their faces, and they all stood up and saluted Han Li respectfully. The middle-aged man hurriedly wanted to excuse the young man and said: "Senior, Nephew Yu Xian just said it casually just now, but he didn't mean any disrespect to the other factions, don't take offense at the senior!"

These few people actually regarded Han Li as a high-ranking monk of some immortal sect in Yuanwu Kingdom.

The young man's expression also became tense.

"Hehe, fellow daoists, don't get me wrong. I'm just a casual cultivator! Just now I just added a word casually." Han Li smiled and explained gently.

After hearing what Han Li said, several people felt relieved. Although he didn't know the identity of what Han Li said was true or false, it was very clear that the other party didn't pursue the meaning of the rash words just now.

So Han Li also sat down at the stone table in the pavilion while being greeted by several people.

"Senior is able to come here, it's my honor to wait for this junior. But with senior's cultivation, how can I participate in this level of communication?" The red-faced old man with the deepest cultivation among the four asked a little cautiously.

It's no wonder that this person was so surprised. You must know that small local gatherings like Baichi Mountain are generally difficult to attract monks in the foundation period. If high-level monks communicate, there will naturally be another higher-level gathering.

"Some time ago, I have been cultivating in a barren mountain not far from here. I just heard the news that our country's monks were defeated in the Yue Kingdom not long ago. I felt that there would be a big change in the world of cultivating immortals, so I went out to inquire about the news. Do fellow daoists have any latest news about the Demon Dao and Yue Kingdom?" Han Li said lightly.

Hearing what Han Li said, the four of them looked at each other for a while, but immediately three of them looked at another thin old man.

"In terms of being well-informed, of course Brother Ding must be counted. After all, the Ding family has many secular industries that are directly established in Yue!" The red-faced old man laughed dryly and said lightly.

The other two also echoed their approval, which made Han Li's eyes twinkle when he heard this.

When the old man surnamed Ding saw this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He had no choice but to say: "The children of our Ding family in Yue State have indeed sent back some of the latest situation of Yue State to the family recently. Originally, the family did not want these news to be spread to the outside world, but since they are all close friends of Ding, This senior also wants to know something, so let’s talk about it! However, please don’t leak it easily.”

Hearing the old man surnamed Ding's words, the other three couldn't help cheering up, saying yes again and again, and Han Li nodded slightly.

So, the old man coughed lightly, and said slowly: "I just received the news a few days ago that the current state of Yue is in chaos. Although the Demon Dao defeated the coalition forces of the six factions, there are still many six factions retreating." The monk did not leave the country of Yue, but relied on the terrain to keep attacking the demonic people. I heard that there were still a few monks in the alchemy stage who did not evacuate, which made the demonic people a little busy and exhausted. After all, the alchemy stage Cultivators are not so easy to deal with. In addition, the six factions have taken root in the Yue Kingdom for many years, and the potential power is still not small, so it is still a bit tricky for the Mo Dao to take over the Yue Kingdom's immortal cultivation world."

"As for the Cultivation Clan of Yue Kingdom, they are now divided into three attitudes. One kind sees the defeat of the Six Sects, and immediately turns against them, and voluntarily surrenders to the Six Sects of the Devil. The other is because they are too close to the Six Sects. Forget it, they simply withdrew from the Yue Kingdom like the six factions. The last family is still in the wait-and-see stage, and we are going to see the situation before we talk about it."

"As for the seven sects that have occupied the important sects for many years, it is said that except for the concealed moon sect and Jujian sect that have not yet been breached by the six demon sects, the other four sects have been completely captured, but it is said that very few things were seized. The rare items were taken away by the retreating disciples of the six sects."

"In my opinion, the Demon Dao cannot stabilize the Yue Kingdom for a day, and they will not attack our country or Zijin for a day. After all, no matter how many people they have, they may not be able to take care of two small countries and a medium-sized country at once. That's why we have no way to deal with those monks from the six sects who keep making trouble."

The old man slowly said the above words, and revealed some of his own opinions.

"Brother Ding, how long do you think the magic way can give us a chance to breathe, can the various factions in our country still resist the attack of each other?" The red-faced old man beside him couldn't help but interjected.

"It's hard to say? After all, what I know is only superficial information. I'm afraid only the top leaders of the various factions know the real truth." The old man surnamed Ding shook his head and peeked at Han Li. glance.

Apparently, he still believed that Han Li was a monk of a certain sect in his country, so his words were a bit veiled.

Then, the old man surnamed Ding didn't seem to want to continue talking about related issues, so he suddenly smiled and told something that surprised Han Li.

"Because of the hasty evacuation this time, the six sects of the Yue Kingdom all adopted the gecko tail-docking method, and only took away the elite disciples with better aptitude in the sect, leaving many other disciples sacrificed in the dark Yes. It is said that the most ruthless ones here are the high-level officials of Huangfenggu. In order to let the real confidantes and elite escape from the country, they sacrificed two batches of disciples in a row. This is almost all the monks except Huangfenggu who evacuated the disciples. Tsk tsk , the method is really amazing!"

Although the old man spoke casually, Han Li's heart suddenly sank when he heard it, and his expression changed slightly. However, fortunately, no one dared to stare at Han Li closely, so no one noticed his strange expression.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, what happened to Huangfeng Valley that you said sacrificed two batches of disciples? I am very interested!" Han Liqiang suppressed the shock in his heart and asked calmly.

"Hehe, since the senior asked the question, the junior naturally told the truth. The thing is like this. I heard that as soon as the senior officials of the Yue Kingdom received the news of the defeat ahead, they immediately came up with a trick to get out of their shells. They first let the people inside the door A group of disciples evacuated first, but secretly leaked the news to the spies of the Demonic Dao, saying that these disciples were the elite of their Yellow Maple Valley, and brought a large amount of spiritual stone raw materials and other property, which completely attracted the pursuers of the Demonic Dao. Another group of disciples who were kept in the dark were left inside the door, and they were asked to use the large formation to form a confrontation with the remaining demons. With these two groups of disciples attracting the enemy's full attention Only then did the senior officials of Huangfeng Valley let the true confidant elite disciples retreat from the opposite direction with thousands of years of savings in the sect."

"I heard that although the number of people in Huangfeng Valley retreated safely was the least, they took the easiest way among the six factions to evacuate. Although the other five factions gathered their people together to retreat, they were still being chased by the pursuers one after another. , fought many times, and a lot of property fell into the hands of the devil. This matter was tricked by the devil, so it has been widely spread in the world of cultivating immortals in the country of Yue." The old man dared not neglect to tell Han Li told it again.

"Oh! Here's the thing, those abandoned Huangfeng Valley disciples are really stupid!" Han Li said in a low voice, his expression unchanged.
