Although it is only early summer, the sun is still scorching at noon. On Tianhuang Sect Donghua Peak, the 100-meter-high Shanmen Archway shines under the scorching sun, and the nine coiled dragon white jade pillars cast a row of short shadows on the ground. . Two teams of Tianhuang Sect disciples stood at the gate of the mountain as if facing a formidable enemy, each holding a law enforcement weapon, and the atmosphere was tense.
At this moment, the most eye-catching thing is not the majestic mountain gate pavilion, but the majestic firebird above Tianhuang Palace.
I saw a large, colorful bird bathing in the fire, exuding a strong aura. It flapped its wings from time to time, or extended its neck and chirped twice. It was like there was an extra sun in the sky. The disciples of the Tianhuang Sect passing by would look at the splendor of this mountain-protecting spiritual beast with awe. I heard that this red-feathered fire phoenix was a sixth-level spiritual beast and was specially given to Master Li Xiang by the sect leader before entering the eighteenth floor.
In the Tianhuang Sect's main hall, all the senior officials were gathered together. Even people from the Shao family and the Semi-Spirit clan were present. The atmosphere was gloomy and tense. Deputy Sect Master Shangguan Yu sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression, and everyone present also looked solemn. Li Xiangjun sat on Shangguan Yu's desk, frowning slightly, looking worried.
Li Xiangjun rushed back to the mountain gate as soon as she received the news that the Netherworld Desert Island was occupied by the demon army, but what she worried about still happened.
Just today, the Gong family, the three top forces in Youri City, launched a brazen attack and robbed the spiritual mine that originally belonged to Chaos Pavilion. They also seriously injured Ning Zhongtian, who was responsible for guarding the spiritual mine. Fortunately, he escaped. Hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid your life will be in jeopardy. For a moment, the entire Tianhuang Sect was in panic. Li Xiangjun hurriedly asked Xiaohuo Phoenix to transform into a real body and rise to the sky above Donghua Peak. It must be said that as soon as the mid-stage Nascent Soul strength Niyu Fire Phoenix appeared on the top of the mountain, the disciples of the Tianhuang Sect couldn't help but They all felt at ease.
However, this is obviously a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.
After all, the Tianhuang Sect was founded only a short time ago and has a very shallow foundation. The sect leader Chu Jun is like a sea-fixing needle, holding together several golden elixirs that have surrendered from the Shao family, the Immortal Cultivator Guild, the City Lord's Mansion, and the Chaos Pavilion. Tianhuang Sect is as stable as a rock. Now that there is something wrong with Chu Jun's sea-fixing needle, the instability of the Tianhuang Sect has been exposed. This can be seen from the fact that the Gong family dared to snatch the Tianhuang Sect's spiritual mines without hesitation.
Shangguan Yu said in a deep voice: "Let everyone come to the meeting. I believe everyone knows what is going on? Our spiritual mine in the east of Youri City was robbed by the Gong family, and many people were killed and injured. What do you think?"
"It goes without saying, just grab it back!" Qu Zhengfeng said angrily.
"But the Gong family is a top-notch force, with four Nascent Soul stage masters alone. There's nothing we can do about them!" Yuen Long said.
Shao Qian nodded in agreement: "Elder Yuan is right, it is unwise to confront the Gong family head-on!"
"Then we just have to swallow our anger? The Gong family saw that we didn't even dare to let out a fart, and they didn't dare to push the envelope even further. We're going to get even worse. In a few days, I'm afraid even the spiritual mines in Huashang Peak will be robbed!" Qu Zhengfeng said solemnly.
Everyone present was immediately speechless!
Looking at the helpless people, Li Xiangjun felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. When Chu Jun was gone, the entire Tianhuang Sect seemed to have no backbone. She was arrogant and wise, and could handle everything properly. However, when faced with such a major event that related to the life and death of the entire sect, she realized that she was just one person. If a vine wants to thrive, it must have a towering tree to rely on.
"Our Tianhuang Sect does not have the ability to confront the Gong family head-on, but if we do nothing, it would be extremely inappropriate to let them occupy our spiritual mines!" Shangguan Yu nodded.
"Shangguan, maybe we can ask the Immortal Cultivator Guild for help!" Shao Min suggested.
Everyone couldn't help but shine. Chu Jun was able to invite Liu Suifeng and others from the Immortal Cultivator Guild to help him. He must have a very good relationship with them. If he could invite the Immortal Cultivator Guild to take action, he might be able to retrieve the spiritual mine.
Shangguan Yu frowned and turned his attention to Li Xiangjun. He knew that Chu Jun's Sanqing Token was in Li Xiangjun's hand.
Li Xiangjun couldn't help but sigh secretly. The Gong family is from the eldest prince's lineage. Now Du Wu and Chu Jun are on the 18th floor, and the Netherworld Desert Island is occupied by the demon clan again. Even if Liu Suifeng can be invited to come forward, it will probably be a big mistake. The Gong family poses no threat unless the Immortal Cultivator Guild is willing to expend great efforts to put pressure on the Gong family. But in addition to the Gong family, there are also Bing Xuan Sect and Huan Qian Pavilion. They may not have no idea of exploiting the spiritual mine. It is just that the Gong family strikes first. How many times can the Immortal Cultivator Guild help the Tianhuang Sect
Of course, these words cannot be said. Li Xiangjun said calmly and calmly on the surface: "Well, I will ask General Manager Liu to negotiate with the Gong family. In addition, the young city lord Wei An has a good relationship with the sect master. The city lord should also put pressure on the Gong family. Yes, everyone should take defensive measures during this period and try not to cause trouble! "
Everyone couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but the gloom in their hearts still lingered, because everyone knew that Chu Jun was trapped on the 18th floor, and the worst thing was that the Netherworld Desert Island was also occupied by demon soldiers.
"The people who occupy the Netherworld Desert Island are just a lone army of the Monster Tribe. They can't hold on for long. As long as Youling Continent and Bingyun Continent send troops to encircle them, and if Bahuang Continent sends troops, they can be wiped out very quickly. The sect leader will be in ten It’s almost a year since I was on the eighth floor, I believe I’ll be back soon!” Li Xiangjun said again.
"Damn it, when the boss comes back, I have to fuck all those bastards from the Gong family!" Da Bang Chui glared at him with a murderous look.
Shaowen said with a smile: "Bangchui, there are only four Guang Yuanyings in the Gong family, and there are probably fifty or sixty Jindans. They are not so easy to deal with!"
"So what? Wasn't Chaos Pavilion a fool at first? Didn't the boss lead everyone to kill him? Has the old demon Hunyuan been enough? He's dead! The old ghost in the palace dares to touch us. You really don’t know how to live or die!" Big Hammer slapped his chest and said angrily.
Jin Dan, who had surrendered from Yuen Long and several others from Chaos Pavilion, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
Shangguan Yu coughed lightly: "Okay, everyone, go back, remember to be vigilant and strengthen the defense of the Huashang Peak Spirit Mine!"
In the end, no proper solution was reached in a meeting, and everyone dispersed in silence!
Only Shangguan Yu, Li Xiangjun, Shi Tai, Wu Yanshou and others were left in the hall!
"Shi Tai, how powerful is our mountain protection formation?" Li Xiangjun asked.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly. Everyone knew what this sentence meant!
Shi Tai touched his bald forehead: "The original mountain protection formation of Chaos Pavilion is also very defensive. The eight surrounding peaks are connected together. There is also a defensive formation on the main peak of Donghua. Even the attacks of Nascent Soul masters can withstand attacks for half a day. It's a pity that I The Vientiane Formation has not been completed yet, otherwise even a hundred thousand people would be defeated!"
"Well, regardless of anything else, from today on you try to strengthen the defensive array on the main peak!"
Shangguan Yu said in a deep voice: "Master Li Xiang, it shouldn't be necessary, right?"
"There are hundreds of billions of spiritual mines on Huashang Peak. This attraction is undoubtedly fatal, and it is inevitable that it will attract the covetousness of other forces. Now that the Gong family has blatantly occupied one of our spiritual mines, there is nothing we can do if other forces find out. It’s inevitable that other thoughts will arise!”
Shangguan Yu couldn't help but remain speechless.
Li Xiangjun turned his attention to Wu Yanshou again and asked calmly: "Old witch, is the soul-transformation lure you gave Yuen Long and the others reliable?"
Wu Yanshou's eyes flashed and he nodded: "Absolutely reliable!"
"Very well, if there's anything wrong with them!" Li Xiangjun raised his right hand.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and the eyes they looked at Li Xiangjun couldn't help but change.
…
The night is deep, there is no moon and few stars.
In a valley outside Da Ri City, Ding Qing put on the phantom robe and phantom boots, looked herself up and down, and said with a smile: "Boy Chu, it seems you have a lot of treasures! "
For the sake of the sixth-grade magic weapon, Chu Jun risked his life and took out the Death Drift suit and lent it to Ding Qing.
"Wear this!" Chu Jun handed the Lianxin Ring to Ding Qing. Ding Qing took the Lianxin Ring and put it on her finger. Her pretty face blushed slightly, but her face was already red.
Chu Jun put the hood of his robe over his head and said, "Let's go!"
The two of them took advantage of the darkness and ran towards the Great Sun City, like two puffs of smoke.
With their cultivation and the Drift Suit, they easily evaded the demon soldiers guarding the city gate and sneaked into the city.
Ding Qing went straight to the city lord's mansion with a clear goal.
