Chapter 1,282 A Dragnet
Outside the Five Elements Mountain, demons were dancing wildly.
The Demon Shadow Gorge, tens of thousands of miles away, was not peaceful either.
At this sensitive period when the Demon Shadow Sect attacked the Five Elements Sect, the Demon Shadow Gorge, as the headquarters of the Demon Shadow Sect, was sparsely populated.
However, sparsely populated does not mean that no one came.
At noon on this day, when the sun was at its hottest, a man in a single green cloth came from afar, entered the Demon Shadow Gorge straightly, and disappeared.
Although the Demon Shadow Sect was attacking the Five Elements Sect, it naturally did not dare to neglect the defense of its own headquarters.
Therefore, soon, a cultivator from the Demon Shadow Sect discovered the man's whereabouts.
In just a quarter of an hour, a pair of more than ten foundation-building cultivators surrounded the man.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
"Huh..."
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, the man snapped his fingers.
After snapping his fingers, the dozens of foundation-building cultivators who surrounded him stood still, and the man walked by without leaving any trace.
After a long time, the foundation-building cultivators came back to their senses.
But everyone looked at each other, and no one knew why they appeared here.
No matter how long they thought about it, they couldn't figure it out...
Patrolling the mountain?
Then continue patrolling the mountain!
Besides, the person who invaded the Demon Shadow Gorge was Xiao Mian!
At midnight the day before yesterday, Xiao Mian, with the help of the little monk, teleported from the Yunyahai Pavilion of Dutian Peak to Tiandu City.
After that, after politely declining the help of the little monk, Xiao Mian used a stool to teleport back to the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm.
Leaving Xuanwei Cave and entering the Songyue Mountains.
Taking the Yinshang Realm Blood Pool as the base point, Xiao Mian used the Blood Pool Teleportation Array and teleported from Yinshang Realm back to Nanyuezhou in one breath...
The nine blood pools in the world are themselves intercontinental teleportation arrays!
The blood pool teleportation array was Xiao Mian's trump card to rush back to Nanyue Province in an instant!
However, the blood pool in Nanyue Province is located in the southern wilderness of Nanyue Province.
Xiao Mian pushed his speed to the extreme, and it took him a day to rush to Wuxing Mountain.
Looking at the scene of the demons dancing outside Wuxing Mountain, Xiao Mian did not show any expression.
After releasing Qing Jing in Wuxing Mountain, Xiao Mian left casually.
The reason why Qing Jing was able to avoid the Wuxing Gate's mountain protection array and sneak into the Wuxing Gate without being noticed was because of that secret passage.
The reason why Xiao Mian let Qing Jing sneak into the Wuxing Gate first was to tell those people in Wuxing Gate that he cared about - he, Xiao Mian, was back!
Qing Jing, a fighting force, should not be underestimated. There are few rivals below the Nascent Soul.
I think with the help of the little guy, the Bi Bo Tan lineage should be able to hold on until he completes the plan at hand and rushes back to Wuxing Gate.
Xiao Mian had no idea that the Bi Bo Tan was no longer the same as before...
At this moment, Xiao Mian was only looking around in the Demon Shadow Gorge, looking here and there from time to time - just like strolling in the garden.
Xiao Mian was naturally not interested in the scenery of the Demon Shadow Gorge, he was playing a big game of chess.
He not only wanted to save Zhao from Wei, but also wanted to attack Huanglong directly!
But to play this big game, Xiao Mian alone was not enough.
Luckily, Xiao Mian still had Hei Bu to help him!
Everywhere he went, Xiao Mian would summon Hei Bu.
Hei Bu seemed to know that Xiao Mian was in a bad mood, and what he did was even more extraordinary. It was rare that he did not ask for snacks before going to work.
But Xiao Mian also knew that Hei Bu was crucial to the success or failure of this chess game.
At that moment, Xiao Mian took out a large pile of top-grade spiritual materials without any stinginess.
Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave cloth!
After swallowing all those top-grade spiritual materials, Hei Bu was full of energy. With the Demon Shadow Sect as the center, he set up a shocking formation in the heart of the Demon Shadow Gorge!
For three days and three nights, one man and one cloth almost stepped through the Demon Shadow Gorge!
On November 23, Xiao Mian reappeared in front of the Demon Shadow Gorge.
Standing in front of the Demon Shadow Gorge, Xiao Mian shouted.
"Listen, people inside! You have been surrounded!"
This voice without any reason was spread by Xiao Mian in a way similar to the lion's roar of Buddhism, and almost in an instant, it exploded throughout the Demon Shadow Gorge.
Today, the Demon Shadow Sect is attacking the Five Elements Sect with the power of the whole sect. The defense ability of the sect is not strong. Who would have thought that it would be surrounded?
When the monks of the Demon Shadow Sect rushed out of the Demon Shadow Gorge and saw Xiao Mian standing alone in front of the Demon Shadow Gorge, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
Where did the madness come from?
With only one person's power, dare to talk about encirclement?
Besides, judging from the man's appearance, he is at best a Jindan cultivator. If he is a Yuanying ancestor, his words can make the Demon Shadow Sect cultivators think twice.
How dare a mere Jindan cultivator speak so arrogantly?
Although the Demon Shadow Sect is attacking the Five Elements Sect and has indeed invested a lot of high-level cultivators in the Five Elements Mountain, there are still Jindan cultivators in the Demon Shadow Sect.
The purpose is to prevent the situation like today from happening...
As for Xiao Mian, facing those Demon Shadow Sect foundation-building cultivators, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This - it's really not easy to start!
It has been decades since Xiao Mian entered the Tao, and the enemies he encountered were all stronger than himself.
Along the way, Xiao Mian has always defeated the strong with the weak, but never bullied the weak.
Now, it seems that God can't stand it and gave him this opportunity...
"Everyone! You are no match for me! Call out the Jindan monks stationed in the Demon Shadow Sect - it's best to call them all out at once! Save trouble!"
After thinking it over again and again, Xiao Mian still couldn't bear to attack these foundation-building monks.
Unexpectedly, his kindness did not cause the other party to return the favor.
It is said that there are more than a hundred foundation-building monks who came out to fight Xiao Mian this time. The leader is a monk at the peak of the foundation-building realm, named Zhang Suhe.
When Zhang Suhe first saw Xiao Mian, he was also secretly shocked.
But when he looked at his own lineup again, Zhang Suhe felt relieved.
"Brothers! Set up the formation! Tell this Jindan senior who came from afar to see our Demon Shadow Sect's Nine-Turn Demon Shadow Formation!"
"Yes!" The voices of promise came one after another. Among the hundreds of foundation-building monks, eighty monks were separated and stood behind Zhang Suhe, making up the number of ninety-nine eighty-one.
The formation changed, and the eighty-one, including Zhang Suhe, turned into a black shadow.
The black shadow was like ink, covering Xiao Mian and wrapping him tightly.
The formation changed again and again, and the black shadow slowly rotated, spinning faster and faster. In the end, Xiao Mian's figure completely disappeared in the black shadow...
Seeing this, the remaining dozen or so cultivators who were watching the show applauded.
The Nine-Turn Demon Shadow Formation of the Demon Shadow Sect is a battle formation.
The power exerted by the formation of ninety-nine eighty-one foundation-building cultivators is enough to trap a high-level Jindan cultivator in it and prevent him from getting out.
This point was verified by Duan Shuiliu, a Jindan cultivator of the Demon Shadow Sect!
But at this moment, Duan Shuiliu had already died.
The so-called Nine-Turn Demon Shadow Formation is even more of a joke in front of Xiao Mian!
First, Xiao Mian's realm is a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator.
Second, how can Xiao Mian's strength be compared with that of ordinary cultivators?
Let alone ninety-nine eighty-one foundation-building cultivators, even if there were ten times more, and ten nine-turn magic shadow formations were set up, Xiao Mian would not be trapped!
Xiao Mian just felt that it was a bit ugly to attack these foundation-building cultivators.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian changed his mind very quickly.
It was Zhang Suhe who touched Xiao Mian's reverse scale unintentionally.
"Who are you, sir! Judging from your cultivation, you should be at the high level of Jindan, right? If you were a native cultivator of Nanyue State, how could you be unknown? Although my Demon Shadow Sect is attacking the Five Elements Sect, and the strength of the sect is slightly inferior, you should put away your idea of taking advantage of others, so as not to end up like the fairy Biluo!"
"!"
As soon as Zhang Suhe finished speaking, the entire nine-turn magic shadow formation suddenly stopped.
"What did you say?"
"I... I'm asking who you are!"
"The last sentence! What did you say?"
"Fairy Biluo? Ha! You mean that crazy woman? You don't know? That's right! Now my Demon Shadow Sect has surrounded the Five Elements Mountain, and the news of the Five Elements Gate is not known at all. You naturally don't know: how miserable the Five Elements Gate is now! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: my Demon Shadow Sect will soon be able to break through the Five Elements Gate! By then..."
"Fairy Biluo, what happened?"
"What happened? She's dead! She's been dead for more than a month!"
"Who killed her?"
"Who killed her? What? Do you still want to avenge her? Well! Today I'll do you a favor and tell you. As for whether you dare to avenge her, it depends on your courage - Fairy Biluo Leng Ningyu died under the great heavenly tribulation!"
With a light word, he flew into the Nine-Turn Demon Shadow Array and disappeared.
Seeing that the Jindan cultivator trapped in the Nine-Turn Demon Shadow Formation had lost his voice, Zhang Suhe was secretly glad.
But the next moment, a wave of fluctuations spread out from the Nine-Turn Demon Shadow Formation as the center - the instinctive fear made Zhang Suhe jump out of the formation and escape.
However, Zhang Suhe, who was in mid-air, couldn't help trembling when he saw the huge crater on the ground, and almost fell from the air.
In front of the Demon Shadow Gorge, a huge pit with a radius of a hundred feet appeared in front of him.
The location of the huge pit just included the entire Nine-Turn Demon Shadow Formation, but looking around, where is there a living person in the huge pit now?
No!
Not that there is none!
In the center of the huge pit, a person knelt on one knee and punched the ground.
But except for this person, there was no living thing in the huge pit - within the range of the huge pit, the ground was cracked and rocks were flying through the air.
The eighty foundation-building cultivators who had formed the Nine-turn Demon Shadow Array under Zhang Suhe's command before were missing arms, legs and heads, and none of them survived!
The only survivor was Zhang Suhe!
"Master! Unfilial disciple, I'm late!" Kneeling on one knee, Xiao Mian lowered his head and cried bitterly: "Wait! I will first bloodbath the Demon Shadow Sect, then go back to kowtow in front of your spirit to apologize, and mourn for you for three years! Master! Wait for me!"
Suddenly raising his head, letting the tears slide down his cheeks, Xiao Mian roared to the sky.
The originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain...
Zhang Suhe saw this scene, and then recalled Xiao Mian's words and deeds. Gradually, a name that was tabooed by the Demon Shadow Sect appeared in his mind.
Xiao Mian!
Xiao Mian of the Five Elements Sect!
He-is back! ?
With a pale face, Zhang Suhe turned around and fled back to the Demon Shadow Sect, while screaming-killing! Someone died! Xiao Mian of the Five Elements Sect—is back to kill!
Xiao Mian did not kill Zhang Suhe, even though he fled.
In his eyes, everyone in the Demon Shadow Sect was already dead. What difference would it make if they died earlier or later?
Let Zhang Suhe's shouting wake up the Demon Shadow Sect from their nightmare!
Soon, the entire Demon Shadow Sect was in turmoil...
Sword lights flew up from the Demon Shadow Sect, but they did not dare to take a single step outside the Demon Shadow Gorge.
Just because, outside the Demon Shadow Gorge, there was a person crying!
After a long time, Xiao Mian let his tears dry up and looked at the Demon Shadow Sect monks with cold eyes.
"I am Xiao Mian from the Bi Bo Tan of the Five Elements Sect! I came here today not to pay respects to the mountain, not to visit friends, but to destroy the entire Demon Shadow Sect! But God is merciful! In the great swamp, there are dragons and snakes; although not all are good, they cannot be all evil! I will give you a chance: if you want to leave the Demon Shadow Sect now and swear never to do evil in the future, I can let you go. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Speaking of these extremely arrogant words in an extremely calm tone, Xiao Mian just stood quietly in front of the Demon Shadow Gorge, not giving an inch.
Besides, those Demon Shadow Sect cultivators, although intimidated by Xiao Mian's great reputation, still couldn't believe what Xiao Mian said.
If this was said by a Yuanying ancestor, it would still have some weight.
You, Xiao Mian from the Five Elements Sect, were once a figure, but times have changed after all!
Isn't he just a Jindan cultivator?
It's not like there are no Jindan cultivators in my Demon Shadow Sect!
Let's see how you die!
Almost all the monks of the Demon Shadow Sect thought so.
However, there were exceptions - one person, under Xiao Mian's shouting, gradually left the Demon Shadow Sect camp and walked away from the Demon Shadow Gorge.
"Zhang Suhe! Do you want to abandon the sect?"
"..."
"Hmph! Facing a powerful enemy, retreating without fighting is equivalent to apostasy! Zhang Suhe, die!"
With a cold and angry shout, a sword light rushed out from the Demon Shadow Gorge and shot directly at the back of Zhang Suhe who turned against him.
Zhang Suhe closed his eyes and waited for death, but he did not die.
Xiao Mian had said before that since Zhang Suhe chose to leave the Demon Shadow Sect, Xiao Mian would not attack him - Xiao Mian wanted him to live, who could let him die?
After rescuing Zhang Suhe, Xiao Mian nodded to him.
Zhang Suhe trembled all over, no longer caring about anything else, and ran away.
It was this fear that saved Zhang Suhe's life.
After that, Zhang Suhe left Wanzong City and became a monk in Tianlong Temple.
Throughout his life, Zhang Suhe never committed any evil deeds again. He even saved the dying and the wounded after the spiritual battle and became a great monk of Tianlong Temple...
Of course, that was a story for later, so I won't mention it.
Let's look at today - a net of heaven and earth, one person sealed the mountain!
