As soon as the old man from Sixiang Peak said this, the others thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement, saying that the other party's analysis was not unreasonable.
Wei Chongran smiled and said, "Haha, Senior Brother Tian is right. I just received a message from a senior. Even if the opponent still uses this magic weapon to attack next time, we can get a warning in advance.
I think the seniors have a plan for how to deal with the opponent's magic weapon, so don't worry too much about it, just be careful."
Having said that, Wei Chongran changed the subject and didn't seem to want to talk about it any more. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Yan.
"This is my youngest disciple. Thanks to the care of several senior brothers and fellow Taoists during the previous battle, he was able to save his life. Li Yan, you need to come over and thank the elders!"
The first half of his sentence was directed to everyone, especially the five cultivators. Just now when Li Yan was attacked by three demons, the five of them all took action to block the demons in the air.
One of them was the uncle-master from Lingchong Peak. Li Yan was somewhat familiar with him, but he didn't know his name. The other four were Jindan cultivators recruited from other sects.
Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to all the Jindan cultivators, including the five cultivators.
"Thank you all for saving my life!"
Li Yan was a very smart person. He immediately understood Wei Chongran's intention of keeping him here. This was to find more amulets for himself on this battlefield.
The battles here occur so frequently and fiercely that no one can guarantee that Li Yan will be targeted by the opponent's mid- to high-level cultivators at any given time.
With Wei Chongran's favor, these cultivators might take action at a critical moment.
If Gong Yuantai and others below knew about this opportunity, they would probably go crazy with jealousy. Even if one of the cultivators here could take action at the critical moment, they might at least avoid disaster once. This is what is called "having one's back to the main road to enjoy the shade."
"Haha, Brother Wei, you are being too modest. If you had taken action just now, there wouldn't have been a need for us.
Besides, your disciple's cultivation is not simple. It is true that we stopped the demon from attacking him, but considering his elusive body movements, it should be difficult for a demon to stop him."
"Master Wei Feng, your disciple's cultivation is probably not inferior to some of us, and our care for him is limited!"
"My nephew's move just now really scared me. Junior Brother Wei, each of your disciples is an outstanding person. Li Wuyi has come from behind and surpassed some of the Jindan masters in the sect in just a few years. I really envy your method of educating people!"
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Wei, let's not talk about your disciple's cultivation for now. His ability to hide in the enemy's territory and poison us was not discovered by any of us. If he hadn't revealed himself at the end, no one would have known that he had been hiding in the enemy's territory for a long time and had made some moves."
"I agree with this point. This concealment method should have been taught by Fellow Daoist Wei. It is a first-class magical power..."
“Hehehe, the killing method this kid used just now was also very sharp. If I remember correctly, he alone killed 11 of the opponent’s demon soldiers. He is a demon cultivator with super strong combat power.”
… …
Some of the Jindan cultivators who had seen Li Yan take action just now smiled and shook their heads.
Some cultivators who did not see Li Yan take action thought that Wei Chongran asked everyone to look after this disciple on the battlefield.
When he heard someone next to him say this, he couldn't help but ask the people around him who knew about Li Yan with a puzzled look on his face.
After they heard the other party briefly describe Li Yan's fighting power just now, they looked at Li Yan again with disbelief in their expressions.
For a moment, Li Yan felt frightened as he stood there and was stared at.
"Let's talk about what happens next. Although the demons have retreated temporarily, the next attack may come at any time. Now we need you to take action.
We still need to temporarily rebuild our defenses. At the same time, some seriously injured fellow Taoists also need someone to escort them back to the rear. So I'll trouble Senior Brother Ma and Senior Brother Peng to arrange these two things."
Now that Li Yan had been introduced, Wei Chongran immediately returned to the main topic. He looked at Elder Ma from Lingchong Peak and Elder Peng on the other side.
At this time, Elder Peng was looking Li Yan up and down with strange eyes. He was far away just now and did not see Li Yan make a move. Now that he knew Li Yan's strength, he was even more surprised.
He was the one who brought Li Yan to the secret realm. He knew very well about Li Yan's performance in the secret realm. At that time, he thought that this disciple was extremely amazing.
With their identities, they certainly knew how many disciples Li Yan had saved in the secret realm, and that he had ruined the alliance between the other three sects. However, this matter should not be publicized, and was only known to the core elders within the sect.
Those Jindan elders who stayed in the Wuliang Sect as worshippers and had their own family branches outside would naturally not know about it.
When Elder Peng looked at Li Yan again, he could no longer believe that only two years had passed and this kid's cultivation had reached this level. He could kill more than a dozen people of the same level and his body movements might not even be able to break through the demons.
After listening to Wei Chongran's arrangements, Elder Peng still pointed at Li Yan.
"Very good, very good, just as unexpected as it was at the beginning!"
Elder Peng said twice, “Very good!”
Li Yan naturally knew this uncle, and immediately bowed respectfully. Next, he listened to Wei Chongran's arrangements for a series of matters. There were 24 Jindan from Fengliang Mountain who came to Tonggui Ridge today, and five of them died in the battle just now, and in the end, only two demons from the other side died.
A Jindan often has to practice hard for a hundred years, or even longer, before he can achieve the right result, but in just half an hour, he will wither and die like a grass.
As for the seriously injured Jindan on both sides, there are still four or five of them. Now they have swallowed pills to heal their wounds in a temporary magic circle below.
As for Elder Chi Gong and his men, they led other Jindan to help out in the other two wings behind "Mogu Mountain".
There were more than fifty of them before they set out, and no one knows how many are left now.
After hearing Wei Chongran's arrangements and looking at their fellow monks who were recuperating below, several monks showed some sadness on their faces. Among the five monks who died, there were also their good friends.
They were still talking and laughing half an hour ago, but in the blink of an eye, they were separated forever. Among them was a Jindan elder from Lingchong Peak of the Wuliang Sect.
When facing the enemy, no matter you are from one of the four major sects or a small, unknown sect, the outcome is unknown, and the result will only be known at the end.
The eyes of Elder Ma from Lingchong Peak dimmed and he flew downwards. The deceased elder had been friends with him for more than three hundred years. The two of them often drank tea and discussed philosophy. Such a scene would never happen again.
Seeing Elder Ma flying away sadly, several Jindan cultivators looked at each other, said hello to Elder Peng, and left with Elder Ma. They still had a lot of things to do.
After a while, all the Jindan cultivators went about their business, leaving only the master and his disciple in the air.
Li Yan also wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Gong Yuantai and his men had almost finished cleaning up the battlefield.
Since the master has arranged for Master Ma and others to rebuild the defenses here, and has not ordered Li Yan to lead the team to leave, it is likely that more people will be sent to reinforce. They have to continue to hold on here.
But Wei Chongran looked at him and spoke first.
"The information that Yuanying Patriarch just transmitted to me was not just that little bit of information. They have already found out about the powerful magic weapon that attacked Tonggui Ridge today."
Wei Chongran suddenly said this, which was completely beyond Li Yan's expectations. He was a little puzzled. Why didn't his master explain these words to those Jindan cultivators just now, but told them to him instead.
"This should be a very confidential matter. Master just told me a little bit to let me know that the powerful magic weapon that attacked here has been dealt with by the Yuanying ancestor. This allows me to rest assured and stay here."
Li Yan thought so in his heart and asked in a low voice.
"This means that the Yuanying ancestors have already figured out who the opponent's magic weapon is carrying. The person who can carry this magic weapon must also be a Yuanying-level demon general, so that he can exert such a powerful power."
Wei Chongran nodded and said, "The name of this magic weapon is still unclear, but it is not just one, but eight. It can be said that it is carried by a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But to be more precise, it was controlled by a Nascent Soul-level demon general who set up an altar in a valley a thousand miles southwest of here.
The altar is guarded by hundreds of demon cultivators and human cultivators who have defected to the demon cultivators. Most of them are foundation-building cultivators, led by several Jindan cultivators. They are mainly responsible for policing the surrounding area within a few hundred miles and handling some miscellaneous matters.
Those human monks among them should be the monks from the sects who once assisted the remnants of the demons of the Desolate Moon Continent to find the "Break the World Pearl". They are different from the monks of the South Sea who were planted with restrictions. They are all wholeheartedly assisting the demons. "
"It's those traitors who defected to the demon clan again, their ghosts are still lingering around!"
Li Yan thought to himself that since he first started his training, the figures of these traitors from the Wild Moon Continent would appear from time to time in places he had been to, and he could still see them now.
Wei Zhongran continued, "This kind of magic weapon requires magic crystals to control, and the higher-ups have determined that the demon army that crossed over from the South China Sea this time only has a limited amount of magic crystals.
Therefore, this is also an important reason why they have not used, or have not used this magic weapon frequently.
Of course, these are all speculations, but I think the ancestors' speculations are very close to the facts."
Li Yan began to feel that something was wrong. Why did his master tell him so much in detail? This made him feel uneasy.
However, at the same time, Li Yan complained in his heart, "Are those old guys human or demons, or are they real immortals? It has only been less than an hour since the other party used the magic weapon, and they have already found so many things."
Wei Chongran's next words interrupted his train of thought again.
"But no matter what, this kind of extremely powerful magic weapon will definitely pose a huge threat to the defense of our three locations, so the ancestors will try to seize these magic weapons. If they cannot, they must be destroyed so that the other party cannot use them again."
"Of course, otherwise it would be too much of a threat to us to hold on here. Even if there is a large formation like the 'Yin Yang Boundary River Formation', the result is probably not going to be good."
"Hehe, actually the 'Yin Yang River Formation' is not as weak as you think, but it is very strong. It's just that your strength is still low and you can't bring out its true power.
However, the more important reason is that you have just taken over, and your control has reduced the defense by nearly 30% compared to the previous "Heavy Front Battalion" Second Team.
This is also the main reason why the other party deliberately let you take over the defense smoothly, and then suddenly used this magic weapon to attack."
