After a moment of silence in the hall, the great master finally said, "The key point is whether the cultivators below can break through the cracks in the Yin Demon Cliff. By then, my three brothers and I will keep our promise to the 'Demon Emperor'. I can deal with Da Ling and another incarnation by myself.
The remaining person will be dealt with by the three of you together, so that even if a fifth-level monster appears, there is still hope."
After hearing what the master said, Tu Tai smiled, but he was not very satisfied in his heart.
Because he knew that with the strength of this great master, even if he could deal with all three gods alone, he should be able to hold them off for a while.
Then he and his men would be able to free up their hands and easily take over the crack in the Yinmo Cliff. However, the other party could offer to fight one against two, which was also a fulfillment of his promise.
"In this way, apart from the fifth-level monster that may appear unexpectedly, all breakthroughs will depend on the cultivators below.
Whether it is Nascent Soul or Golden Core, as long as someone can rush into the crack of Yinmo Cliff, holding the 'Small Boundary Breaking Bead' I brought, and work together with my demon army on the other side to destroy the seal of the formation, it is still possible to succeed."
Tu Tai responded, no matter what, in the end only a real fight can decide everything.
"How come you demons have rested for such a long time, but you have only managed to refine a fake 'Boundary Breaking Pearl'?"
After listening to Tutai's words, the great gentleman nodded, but when he thought of the so-called "small boundary-breaking bead", he still asked in confusion.
After listening to Mr. Da's question, Tu Tai hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Alas, you three gentlemen don't know that my demon race suffered from a serious shortage of resources due to refining several 'Boundary Breaking Pearls' tens of millions of years ago, and many necessary raw materials can no longer be grown and obtained.
Otherwise, the passage to the Desolate Moon Continent would have been reopened long ago over the years. The cracks in the Yinmo Cliff were already damaged, so just throw in two more 'Boundary Breaking Pearls'.
Why bother to go through so much trouble to find the 'Boundary Breaking Pearl'
But our Demon Emperor has never given up the plan to refine the 'Boundary Breaking Pearl' and has been looking for refining materials. Unfortunately, in the end, he could only refine the 'Small Boundary Breaking Pearl' to assist in destroying the two-world barrier."
After listening to this, the great master thought about it and realized that this was true. A magic weapon that could destroy the barrier between the two worlds was an incredible treasure. Even in the vast Demon Realm, those rare materials might have become extinct.
In fact, Tu Tai had another important reason that he did not tell, because it was a shameful thing for the demon clan. Many years ago, a cultivator with terrifying cultivation level sneaked into the demon world.
When he learned that the Demon Realm was still preparing to attack various human continents, this person actually sneaked into the Demon Emperor's palace alone, and stole the jade slip for refining the "Boundary Breaking Pearl" right under the Demon Emperor's nose.
The method of refining the "Boundary Breaking Pearl" is the most precious secret of the demon clan. The top demon clan leader who created the method to refine the "Boundary Breaking Pearl" placed a restriction on the jade slip in order to prevent it from being copied.
The magical power of this top demon has reached the level of the legendary Demon King. After he ascended and disappeared, even the Demon Emperor could not break the restrictions on this jade slip, let alone copy it. The most he could do was read it.
So when this extremely rare jade slip was stolen, the demons could no longer refine the real "Boundary Breaking Pearl", and they would never be able to refine it again.
In the end, it took the Demon Emperor's painstaking efforts to restore and engrave some of the methods of refining the "Boundary Breaking Pearl", but its power was still disappointing, and in the end it could only be called the "Small Boundary Breaking Pearl".
Now that the matter was brought up by the Great Master, Tu Tai originally did not want to talk about it, but with the Great Master's level of cultivation, it would be difficult to find an excuse to fool him, so he briefly explained it.
Tu Tai, as a high-ranking cultivator of the demon clan, naturally knew some inside information. He even knew that the cultivator who stole the rare jade slip was a human cultivator, who was so bold as to leave his name.
The Demon Emperor was furious. Not only did he search everywhere himself, he also sent out several incarnations to various places in the Demon Realm. However, he was unable to find this person even after searching the entire Demon Realm. It was truly embarrassing.
Tu Tai certainly didn't want to say more on this topic, so he changed the subject.
"Another important piece of news we received is that since the last time a demon general led his men to attack the Yin Demon Cliff Crack, the top masters of the Wild Moon Continent have readjusted the route of the passage that can enter the Yin Demon Cliff Crack.
Of the three human defense points we are facing now, only one of them actually leads to the crack in the Yinmo Cliff. They have set up a teleportation array leading to the crack in the Yinmo Cliff there, so we must find this defense point as soon as possible.
Apart from the last exploratory attack, we have not launched any large-scale attacks recently. We are also analyzing more intelligence. After all, the number of people we have is limited, and we cannot launch attacks on three places at the same time.
If success fails once, the opponent's top powerhouse may adjust the route to enter the crack channel of Yinmo Cliff again.
However, through the continuous intelligence collected by scouts from all directions during this period, we have almost grasped the distribution of the enemy's forces.
There are only about 6,000 monks stationed in Fengliang Mountain; there are about 13,000 monks stationed in Tunmo Ridge; and there are also about 10,000 monks stationed in Jianfuyuan.
There are also a large number of monks roaming outside, who can support these three defense points at any time.
At present, it seems that the location of the teleportation array that can enter the crack of Yinmo Cliff... is most likely in the Devouring Demon Ridge or the Sword Fuyuan..."
Then the four of them began to lower their voices, and in the hall, Master Nei and Tu Tai discussed for a whole incense stick of time before they finally decided on the marching plan.
Seeing that the meeting was over, Tu Tai felt relieved and bowed to the three people.
"The analysis that Master just gave makes a lot of sense, and every word is a military strategy. So let's do everything according to Master's opinion.
There is still some intelligence being reported back. Once these information are collected and confirmed with what we have just discussed, we will immediately launch a full-scale military attack.
This matter should be completed within ten days, the sooner the better, we have given the other party plenty of time to maneuver. In addition, I will definitely send more scouts to inquire about the matters entrusted by the master.
Oh, by the way, I don’t know much about the ‘picking’ thing that Mr. Liu asked about just now. It is said that it is a battle between five teams. One battlefield is a picking area, and the other seems to be a ‘wheel of life and death’…”
Before Tu Tai could finish his words, the three masters' bodies were shaken violently, and they shouted at the same time, "Wheel of Life and Death?"
… …
When Li Yan and his companions returned to Fengliang Mountain, Bai Rou went to hand over the mission.
After saying goodbye to Chu Weixiong, Sun Guoshu and others, Li Yan flew directly to the temporary cave where he lived.
When he landed on the platform in front of the cave, he saw a white talisman in the forbidden formation in front of the cave, which was bumping around in the forbidden formation like a headless fly.
This is a sound transmission note, "Who is looking for me?"
Every time Li Yan went out on a mission, the entire Ninth Squad of the "Heavy Front Battalion" had to report to the Deacon Hall, and then count the personnel after returning. So when Li Yan and his team went out, they only needed to check to find out, but someone still sent a message to him.
Li Yan stretched back a little, and the forbidden formation immediately made a buzzing sound. Then, the sound transmission note, which was like a spirit snake, rushed left and right and shot towards Li Yan's face.
The next moment, Li Yan grabbed it in his hand. After Li Yan crushed the sound transmission talisman, Wei Chongran's voice immediately rang in his mind.
"When you come back, come to your master's place as soon as possible!" After these simple words, there was no further news.
He didn't know why Wei Chongran wanted to see him, but Li Yan didn't need to think too much about it. He would know when he got there. He didn't even enter the cave and took off into the air again.
When Li Yan just landed in front of the cave on the hillside where Wei Chongran was, the fog in front of the cave gate surged violently, revealing a passage, and the cave gate inside was already wide open.
Wei Chongran's gentle voice followed, "Come in!"
After Li Yan stepped into the cave, he unexpectedly discovered that Wei Chongran was not the only one in the cave. On his right side, sitting on another stone chair was an old man with white hair and beard.
This person has an immortal appearance, white hair and a youthful face, just like an immortal in a painting. He is also wearing the dark green robe of the Wuliang Sect.
Li Yan had never seen this person before, and what surprised Li Yan was that there was another person standing below with his hands hanging down. It was Bai Rou, who had just parted not long ago. She had also come here.
When Bai Rou saw Li Yan coming, she glanced at Li Yan, nodded awkwardly at him, and said nothing. Now, Li Yan was even more confused.
Li Yan had many guesses on the way here, such as Wei Chongran might be looking for him to ask about his recent situation;
What is more likely is that there may be news about his senior brothers and sisters, or one of them may come forward, but the current situation is completely different from what he thought, and he is even a little confused.
Li Yan took a step forward and stood not far from Bai Rou's side. He then bowed and said, "Greetings, Master and... Uncle Master. I wonder what you are calling me here for?"
Li Yan didn't know who the old man with a fairy-like appearance was, but perhaps he could feel the powerful golden elixir aura from him, so he bowed down to him together.
"He is your little disciple? His cultivation is pretty decent, but what about his appearance? It's really ordinary." Before Wei Chongran could speak, the old man with a sage-like demeanor spoke first.
But when Li Yan heard this, he was stunned.
"Who is this person? It's understandable that he mentioned his own cultivation level. After all, for cultivators, when elders meet their juniors, the first thing they usually notice is their cultivation level. But why mention your appearance right after meeting them?"
Although we know that this old man is a cultivator from the Wuliang Sect, we don't know which peak he is from. The old man holds the armrest of the stone chair with one hand and places the other hand flat on his leg, which happens to cover the logo on his sleeve.
Li Yan couldn't use his spiritual sense to scan, and for a moment he really didn't know who this person was.
But at the same time, Li Yan discovered that Bai Rou beside him turned her face away quickly after hearing these words, and her face instantly turned pink.
"Haha, how many people can have such a good-looking appearance as you? Li Yan, why don't you come and pay your respects to Elder Chi Gong of Sixiang Peak?"
After hearing Wei Chongran's words, Li Yan finally knew this man's origins.
"This is Bai Rou's master!"
Of course Li Yan had heard of Elder Chi Gong's name more than once, but this was the first time he saw him in person. He was still wondering why Elder Chi Gong spoke like this when they met.
But despite his doubts, Li Yan still bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple greets Master Chi!"
Elder Chi Gong shook his hand and motioned Li Yan to stand up.
After Li Yan stood up, Wei Chongran spoke again this time, "I have been very busy with my duties as a teacher recently, so I haven't been able to learn more about your recent situation. Bai Rou just came here, so she hasn't had time to ask about your team's situation.
However, I did get some news from the Deacon Hall a few days ago. The completion of the tasks you have carried out during this period is at the forefront. Not bad, not bad!!”
To Li Yan, these words sounded like the preface of a narrative. He thought to himself, "Could it be that something big happened? Why did they call me here again?"
