The Tianyang Mountains are located in the northeast of Liyang Star, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles. It is rich in spiritual energy and monster resources, and produces several rare fire-attributed elixirs that are rare in the outside world, attracting many cultivators to hunt monsters here.
In the southeast corner of the mountain range, Han Xuhong and Song Zihai stood on the top of a steep mountain, looking towards the distant sky from time to time.
"Why haven't they arrived yet? We've been here for more than half a month, nothing will happen, right?"
Song Zihai said with some concern.
"Probably not. Just wait patiently."
Han Xuhong comforted.
He looked up into the sky and saw a red light appearing in the distant sky at a very fast speed.
Not long after, the red light stopped, revealing a flying boat with flashing red light, with Song Ziyao and Song Qingqing standing inside.
The red flying boat landed in front of Han Xuhong, and Han Xuhong asked, "Senior Sister Song, is Senior Brother Sun not here yet?"
"Senior Brother Sun is busy and can't come. The four of us should be able to break this formation if we work together."
Song Qingqing explained.
Master Wanfa was more cautious and hid in a market town, as he was worried about an ambush.
Han Xuhong didn't ask any more questions and flew away with Song Qingqing and the other two.
After a cup of tea, they landed in a narrow valley covered with weeds.
"Right here."
As Song Zihai spoke, he made a gesture and a dazzling yellow light appeared on the uneven stone wall, revealing a huge cave.
With the lesson learned from last time, they were not in a hurry to break the formation. Song Qingqing set up a warning formation.
If a high-level cultivator approaches within a hundred miles of this place, it will trigger the warning formation.
They walked into the cave and after taking more than a hundred steps, they came to the end. On the ground they could see several green stone benches covered with spider webs. On the upper left corner of the stone wall there was a thick five-colored light curtain. Behind the five-colored light curtain was a green stone door, and they could not see clearly what was behind the stone door.
"Zi Hai, you are responsible for guarding, and the three of us will start to break the formation."
Song Qingqing ordered.
She took out a sixth-order formation and set it up in the cave.
Song Zihai agreed and stood guard holding the formation plate.
Han Xuhong and the other two activated their Dharma images and attacked the five-colored light curtain.
Song Qingqing pinched his fingers and countless red fireballs emerged from the void and smashed towards the five-colored light curtain. The shadow of the woman above his head waved her hand and slapped the five-colored light curtain, and a muffled sound was heard.
A rumbling explosion sounded, and whether they were activating the Dharma image or controlling the treasure, the three of them could not shake the five-colored light curtain.
Behind the stone gate, Han Changming and Ye Xin sat cross-legged on cushions with solemn expressions. In their hands, each of them held a five-colored flashing array plate and continuously injected magic spells into them.
They controlled the formation themselves, and Song Qingqing and the other two were unable to break it at all.
"This old guy is so cautious that he is not tempted by the sitting cave of a fusion cultivator."
Han Changming frowned and said, "Master Wanfa didn't come. It seems that something must have happened."
"We have made preparations for both situations. Anyway, they can't break the formation, and Master Wanfa will come sooner or later."
Ye Xin said with a smile.
They have a second plan and are not afraid that Wanfa Zhenren will not show up.
Nearly half a month had passed, and there was still no sign of the formation loosening.
The defense of the Five Elements Soul Locking Formation was already very strong. Han Xuhong and the other two were all in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, so they could not shake it at all. This formation could only be broken by the joint efforts of five Void Refinement Realm cultivators.
Inside the cave, Song Qingqing and the other two looked pale and bloodless.
"This formation is too strong! It has taken half a month to break it?"
Han Xuhong frowned and said, since it was not him who discovered the formation, he could complain at will.
Song Qingqing frowned. She pondered for a moment, took out the Star-Moon Plate, and entered a spell. Soon, the voice of Wanfa Zhenren rang out: "How is it, Junior Sister Song?"
"Brother Sun, the three of us can't break the formation!"
Song Qingqing said truthfully.
The formation plate in Song Zihai's hand suddenly shook, and a sharp scream was heard.
"Someone is coming."
Song Zihai said a little nervously.
Song Qingqing's face tensed and he quickly took out a formation plate that was flashing yellow light.
Outside the cave, a black-shirted man with ordinary features was floating in the air. He was holding a green animal skin in his hand and muttered to himself, "This should be the place!"
The big man in black shirt raised his right hand, and a flying knife with a flashing red light flew out and hit the stone wall in the valley with a muffled sound.
With a dull "clang" sound, the red flying knife left a shallow cut on the stone wall.
The big man in black flew into the valley and cast a spell to attack the stone wall.
The stone wall began to shake slightly. Inside the cave, Song Qingqing and the other two cast spells onto a yellow array plate.
They never expected that a Void Refining cultivator would discover this place.
Three days passed, and the big man in black failed to break the formation.
"It looks like this is the place. Let's go back and find Daoist Fellow Qian and the others to help break the formation."
The big man in black muttered to himself, collected the treasure and left.
Song Qingqing and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that the other party would break the formation. The other party was in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and the three of them had very little magic power left. If they really fought, they might not be his match.
"Brother Sun, a Void Refining cultivator has discovered this place. He has left temporarily. He must have gone back to call for help."
Song Qingqing reported.
"From his appearance, it seems that he was looking for an ancient monk's cave and found this place. Is it a coincidence?"
Song Ziyao asked doubtfully.
"No matter what, we must break the formation before him. He is in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Who knows if he will call on the late stage cultivators? If that happens, we will definitely die."
Han Xuhong said in a deep voice.
He naturally knew that the big man in black was Han Debiao in disguise. Han Debiao used the treasure to change his appearance and deliberately wandered around here to force Wanfa Zhenren to show up.
If Master Wanfa doesn’t come, then forget it, just follow Song Qingqing first.
"Okay! You guys stay there, I'll be right there."
Wanfa Zhenren pondered for a moment and gave the order.
Song Qingqing agreed and put away the Star-Moon Plate.
Han Xuhong breathed a sigh of relief. From what Master Wanfa said, it was obvious that he was in the Tianyang Mountains and had been hiding before.
It has to be said that Master Wanfa is too cunning, but he still came in front of the cave where the combined cultivator passed away.
In less than a cup of tea, Master Wanfa arrived.
He had been observing the vicinity of the Tianyang Mountains to see if there were any Han family cultivators, but found nothing unusual.
He has not had an easy life these years. He occasionally hunts a few sixth-rank monsters, and relies on Song Qingqing for support. However, with the increase in the number of Void-Refining Monks in the Wanfa Sect, their demand for resources has increased. He can't let Song Qingqing refine pills to support three Void-Refining Monks!
Apart from anything else, it was difficult for him to even exchange for Dharma materials. It was not so easy to exchange for Dharma materials using top-grade elixirs.
The Four Symbols True Man is a long-renowned combined cultivator. There should be many good things in his cave where he sits and passes away. Song Zihai has already obtained two celestial treasures, which is the best proof.
"Brother Sun!"
Han Xuhong and Song Ziyao hurriedly greeted them.
"Hurry up and meditate to recover your mana as soon as possible. The four of us will break the formation together."
Wanfa Zhenren ordered.
At this moment, the cave above began to shake violently, like an earthquake.
"Oh no, this is an ambush!"
Master Wanfa's face changed drastically, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes were full of fear.
Han Xuhong also showed a look of fear, looked at Song Zihai, and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Song, what is going on?"
"I discovered it by accident, it's impossible!"
Song Zihai frowned.
The cave shook violently, the stone door opened, and the five-colored light curtain dissipated and disappeared. A blue light shot out and instantly appeared in front of Master Wanfa.
Master Wanfa reacted quickly, with blue light emanating from his body. At this moment, an extremely strange hissing sound was heard.
Master Wanfa's head sank, and when he came to his senses, he found a giant blue ape standing in front of him. It was Han Yuan.
Han Yuan raised his fists and smashed towards Wanfa Zhenren's head.
With a scream, Wanfa Zhenren's head exploded, and his body turned into a talisman with flickering light. The talisman spontaneously combusted, leaving no slag at all. It was the talisman for disaster relief.
A blue light appeared in the void outside the cave, revealing the figure of Wanfa Zhenren, his eyes full of fear.
He never expected that this was an ambush. He had been observing for so long but found nothing unusual!
As soon as he appeared, a powerful gravity emerged from nowhere and his body fell uncontrollably towards the ground.
A giant stick with a flashing red light fell from the sky. Before it landed, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air. At the same time, a loud explosion was heard in the cave.
Master Wanfa was horrified and quickly offered a flag with flashing blue light. After flying around him, it turned into a thick blue water curtain that covered his entire body.
The giant stick hit the blue water curtain, and the blue water curtain suddenly sank, but soon, a large red flame surged out from the surface of the giant stick, and the flame quickly spread and submerged the blue water curtain.
A golden crow descended from the sky, spewing out a golden flame, which landed on the blue water curtain. White mist rose from the blue water curtain, and the spiritual light dimmed.
The spiritual light of the giant stick increased greatly, the blue water curtain shattered, and Zhenren Wanfa let out a scream and turned into a pool of meat paste.
A mini Yuanying flew out of the body, but before it flew far, it was covered by a black light and rolled back to Han Debiao.
Han Debiao held the mini Yuanying in one hand and searched its soul.
"Star sand! Xuanshui Palace!"
Han Debiao's face darkened. He knew the reason why the Han family was exterminated by the Wanfa Sect.
Han Changming, Ye Xin and Han Xuhong walked out of the cave. They had already dealt with Song Qingqing and Song Ziyao, but did not destroy their Nascent Souls, so they kept them for the time being.
"Fifth uncle, inform the clan leader not to destroy the Wanfa Sect cultivators in the outer sea yet. Xu Hong, you return to Xuanyang Star to issue orders and gather the high-ranking officials of the Wanfa Sect first. We must catch them all in one fell swoop and eradicate them completely."
Han Changming said in a deep voice.
He searched Song Qingqing's soul and found out that the Wanfa Sect had been preparing for this day and had sent many disciples to other immortal cultivation planets for refuge. If they directly destroyed the Wanfa Sect in the outer sea, these cultivators would hide, which would be a problem. Han Xuhong was Deng Chen, a refining cultivator of the Wanfa Sect, so he was the most suitable person to come forward.
Han Xuhong agreed and left. Han Debiao took out the Star-Moon Plate, contacted Han Zhangxiang, and told him in detail what had happened.
"Okay, I know what to do. You guys come back first and discuss the next step. I just got the news that Xuanshui Palace has joined the Xuesha Sect."
Han Zhangxiang's voice was heavy.
"Join the Blood Demon Sect! Humph, then let's temporarily let go of the Xuanshui Palace and destroy the Wanfa Sect first."
Han Debiao's face was filled with murderous intent. He had been holding this anger for too long, and he had to avenge his clan's genocide.
Behind the Xuanshui Palace is the Xuesha Sect. When beating a dog, you have to consider the owner's face. For the time being, we will not move the Xuanshui Palace, and we must not keep the Wanfa Sect.
After destroying the Wanfa Sect, the Han family officially unified Xuanyang Star. Of course, this was only in name. Without a combined cultivator in charge, other major forces would not have to worry too much if they wanted to deal with the Han family.
"Well, Changming's idea is good, let's do it this way first!"
Han Zhangxiang agreed.
"Let's go back first and destroy the Wanfa Sect. Then we can formally offer sacrifices to our ancestors."
Han Changming said seriously that bloodline cannot be severed, no matter how far they go, their roots are in the sea outside Xuanyang Star.
"Husband, inform Fellow Daoist Han! He can also help. The family is not ours, but also his."
Ye Xin suggested.
The Han family, to which Han Wenlong belongs, is also quite powerful and can provide some help.
Han Changming nodded and said, "Let's leave here first and notify him later."
He put away the stone man and stone flame, summoned the Vermillion Bird flying chariot, and carried them away.
······
Xuanshui Star, Xuanshui Palace.
In a secret room, Lin Yujiao sat on a blue cushion, holding a star-moon plate with a glowing light in her hand.
She planned to contact Master Wanfa, but she couldn't get through to him. This situation had happened before. Master Wanfa was in seclusion practicing, but when she contacted Song Qingqing, there was no response. This was strange.
Coincidence? Or were they all killed
Lin Yujiao remembered something, took out a communication disk with a flashing blue light, typed in a spell, and ordered: "Any information about the recent movements of Master Wan Hulu and other high-level officials?"
"I heard that Master Wan Hulu is on Baicao Star participating in the Li family's new virtual refining ceremony, and he hasn't shown up yet."
A respectful male voice came from the communication panel.
"Give the order to check the recent movements of the Han family's top brass. Forget it, there's no need to check. Strengthen the alert and guard against enemy attacks."
Lin Yujiao suddenly changed her mind.
If something really happened to Master Wanfa and Song Qingqing, it must have been done by the Han family. In this way, the spies of Xuanshui Palace would keep an eye on the movements of the top leaders of the Han family, which would be tantamount to telling the Han family that the Xuanshui Palace and the Wanfa Sect are in cahoots.
"Yes, Palace Master."
Lin Yujiao frowned and contacted Lan Weiwei, saying, "Junior Sister Lan, you and Junior Brother Yang should leave Xuanshui Star and go to other immortal cultivation stars to avoid the limelight! I have already contacted Fellow Daoist Sun and Fairy Song. Maybe the Han family has taken action."
"Understood, Palace Master."
Lan Weiwei agreed.
Putting away the communication disk, Lin Yujiao said to herself: "Han family, it's fine if you want to attack the Wanfa Sect, but if you want to deal with our Xuanshui Palace, don't blame me for being ruthless."
She took a deep breath and meditated.
