Chapter 184: One Generation Has One Generation's Things to Do (6k)
This scene left Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao full of shock.
Soon Yan Xiaohu reacted and immediately took out his big knife.
"It's over, we've been ambushed by these damn guys!" After saying that, he was about to lift his knife and rush in.
Mo Xingjian slapped him on the back of the head, then frowned and looked at the periphery.
Many demonic beasts were fighting with the disciples of the five sects; it should be that they rushed out before the array was activated.
"This array has been activated, do not enter!" After Mo Xingjian finished instructing, he killed his way over.
Zhou Qing took out his broken sword, looked at Lu Yaoyao, and immediately went to support.
For a time, blood splashed, and broken limbs flew everywhere.
Yan Xiaohu was stunned, seemingly not having reacted yet.
"No, what's going on?"
…………
Because Canglan Mountain is vast, everyone could only carry out clearing operations along the edge area.
For a time, sword light flickered, and spell light soared into the sky.
By the time the demonic beasts on the edge were wiped out, a full day had passed quietly.
And the disciples of the five sects had long been blinded by killing; after a short rest, they rushed in without hesitation.
Mo Xingjian stood on the side, watching the blood completely dye the earth red, the thick blood gathering together to form shocking blood creeks, winding and flowing.
Inside the array, the sounds of killing, screams, and the roars of demonic beasts intertwined, echoing over the entire Canglan Mountain, making one's hair stand on end.
"Your Shibo woke me up just because he was worried you would disobey and rush in. After all, if he used some means, there would be no need for such trouble, but he did it to respect you, do you understand?"
Mo Xingjian looked at Zhou Qing with gentle eyes and said earnestly.
Zhou Qing met his Master's gaze, seemed to understand something, and nodded silently.
Mo Xingjian suddenly reached out and gently touched the heads of Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu, a kind smile appearing on his face.
"Without knowing it, you have all grown so big. Since you are adults, you should be obedient. Will you listen to Master's words?" Mo Xingjian asked softly, his eyes full of expectation.
The two were moved, their eyes slightly red, and they hurriedly said in unison: "Yes."
Mo Xingjian was full of relief, nodded gently, and said: "Master believes in you."
Subsequently, he slowly turned his head, cast his gaze toward the huge and mysterious array in front of him, his expression becoming solemn, with a trace of determination, and said slowly.
"One generation has one generation's things to do. Inside there, there are Master's relatives, old friends, and even more, it belongs to the few memories of Master; how could I be missing?"
"Master..." The two's eyes felt hot.
Mo Xingjian turned his head to look at Yan Xiaohu and said seriously: "Old Three, keep an eye on your Shidi. You have never been reliable for so many years; this time Master begs you to be reliable!"
Yan Xiaohu naturally understood what Master meant by this.
Now there is no knowing how many Divine Transformation powerhouses are fighting in the array, and the situation is extremely dangerous. Old Four is the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top, possessing infinite potential; this time he must absolutely not fall into danger.
"Don't worry, Master, this disciple knows what to do." Yan Xiaohu hurriedly guaranteed, and while saying that, he slapped Zhou Qing on the back, urging: "Hurry up and speak."
Zhou Qing clenched his hands tightly, as if wanting to condense all his emotions into this grip, then said firmly: "Master, rest assured, this disciple promises you, I will absolutely not go in."
After Mo Xingjian heard this, the corners of his mouth lifted into a relieved smile.
Seeing Mo Xingjian lift his foot to leave, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly shouted: "Master, after entering Canglan Mountain, can you go to Demon King Hou Shan's cave first? That jade bed and the spiritual mushrooms everywhere are worth a lot of money, while others haven't discovered it yet... Master..."
Before Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, Mo Xingjian flashed his figure, instantly entered the array, and disappeared.
Facing the resentful looks of Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao, Yan Xiaohu coughed dryly, sighed, and said: "You are still too young. Shixiong saying this also has deep meaning. Inside, there is no knowing how the killing is going; Master can avoid a head-on collision as late as possible."
The two gave a "hehe."
Just in case, Zhou Qing took the two and hid on the side first.
And at this time, Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao learned from Zhou Qing what exactly happened, and were full of shock.
The broken fifth-level 【Demon-Sealing Strangling Array】, the hidden fourth-level killing array, the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, the hope of Soul Severance, the various plots of the five sects united...
Without a sound, how did you cause such a big battle?
It's just that there is some doubt, why did Sect Master Shibo want to bring you?
Also, when did you become a first-level array master?
The two of us Shixiong have always been together; how could you master such a desirable status behind my back?
【Heart Appraisal Point +8】
The entry note on Yan Xiaohu's head, 【The Little Shidi who wants to pluck a few nose hairs】, quickly changed to 【The Little Shidi who makes progress secretly】.
Zhou Qing didn't explain too much; after all, the matter was too complicated, and it couldn't be explained clearly in a short while, and now was not the time to explain.
Swish swish swish!
Just at this time, other small sects that received the news of the five sects counterattacking the demonic clan also arrived quietly, cautiously approaching the edge of the battlefield.
Under the gaze of Zhou Qing and the others, these people approached cautiously, then frantically searched through the corpses of the five sect disciples.
Greed flashed in their eyes; storage bags, weapons, magic treasures, and some even didn't let go of the dead's clothes and boots.
As for the corpses of those dead demonic beasts, they also excitedly and deftly collected them; if they encountered one too large, they would skillfully cut off the valuable parts.
Besides these low-level disciples, scattered Jin Dan and Nascent Soul stage cultivators also arrived.
They were sneaky and didn't look at these things at all. As they touched the array with their hands, they could easily penetrate it; this discovery made them happy.
Now that the five sects are fighting in a melee and millions of demonic beasts are fighting inside, if they could mix in, various storage bags, demon cores, etc., would simply be as easy as having hands.
The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. By the time it gets to the end, no matter which side wins, they won't have a chance.
What they want is this chaotic situation now, to fish in troubled waters.
After thinking clearly, they prepared and plunged in.
Seeing these Nascent Soul and Jin Dan cultivators enter successfully, some sect ancestors appeared.
As Divine Transformation realms, they were much more cautious, directly wrapping themselves up, not revealing any appearance, and entered one after another.
The three of Zhou Qing watched this scene quietly, not stopping them for a moment.
There are thousands of sects large and small in the Eastern Region, and some sects even have two or three Divine Transformation ancestors; of course, most are early or mid-stage.
If they united, they would also be a force not to be underestimated.
The reason the five sects are strong lies in the accumulation of the number of strong people over generations, working together, not so scattered.
Moreover, with these people joining, the five sects' chances of winning might at least be a little higher; once they are inside, they will be unable to help themselves.
"Entering is easy, leaving is hard. The entire Eastern Region is nothing more than the five major sects, countless small sects, and these eighteen Demon Kings. Now they are all gathered together to fight. No matter the result, the power of the Eastern Region will be seriously weakened."
Yan Xiaohu on the side sighed, his heart feeling somewhat worried.
Zhou Qing just watched the various blurred figures flashing inside, the bloody smell coming through the barrier, and didn't know what kind of human purgatory it had become inside.
Hope the other three regions of Lingyun Prefecture don't take advantage of the fire at this time.
Fortunately, with the paving of the past few years where no Divine Transformation realm had entered, such extreme pulling made them probably not expect that such an unprecedented slaughter would suddenly break out.
If they really had any thoughts, by the time they reacted, this side would have long ended.
Just like this, time passed day by day. Until a month later, the three of Zhou Qing couldn't remember how many people who wanted to be the fisherman had entered, but they had never seen one person come out.
The sounds of fighting and beast roars inside were still constant, but they had lessened a lot.
Thus, another month passed, and outside, they rarely saw others entering. Inside the array, huge fluctuations occasionally came, showing that this tragic slaughter had not ended.
Gathering almost all the power of the entire Eastern Region, fighting continuously for two full months, now there is no need to think about what kind of scene it is inside.
"I am a little worried about Shizun and Shixiong and the others!" Lu Yaoyao, who had rarely spoken, suddenly spoke.
Don't know where Da Shixiong Li Daoxuan went?
Does he know what is happening now?
Regarding Lu Yaoyao's worry, Zhou Qing understood very well; in normal times, he would have gone in long ago.
After all, his current combat power, fighting with ordinary Nascent Soul perfection, is not at a disadvantage at all, let alone those demonic beasts that are huge and not flexible enough.
Where Tetanus passes, you just wait to slowly bleed and faint.
However, Master repeatedly instructed before leaving, and he also promised.
"How about I go in and take a look?" Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but say.
The two looked at him instantly.
Yan Xiaohu spread his hands, looking indifferent, and said: "Anyway, Old Mo said I am unreliable, so it doesn't matter this time. But you don't go in; I will make gestures to you from the barrier not far away later..."
Before Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, suddenly a mini fragrance wafted over, but after smelling it, it made people shudder, as if the soul was frozen.
The three immediately held their breath and concentrated, observing the surroundings vigilantly.
"Could it be that the Nine Nether Demon Lotus has really been catalyzed?" Zhou Qing was somewhat shocked.
Boom!
Just the next moment, a huge roar suddenly came from inside, as if a Divine Transformation realm had self-destructed.
This startled the three, and they hurriedly stood up, full of worry.
Boom boom boom!
The next moment, such self-destruction sounds came continuously, making Zhou Qing and the others feel their scalps tingle.
Especially the array in front of them, which directly turned blood-red, and there were even runes like ghost shadows flickering constantly.
"No, I have to go in and take a look!" Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing immediately took out Tetanus.
But he was stopped by Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu grabbing his arms from left and right.
"What can you do if you go in now?" Yan Xiaohu said with anxiety and dissuasion on his face.
Lu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of horror, and said: "Zhou Shixiong, don't go in. If you are worried, I can help you go in and explore the situation."
Zhou Qing looked at the two and comforted: "Don't forget, I am an array master. If something really goes wrong inside, I can also help a little..."
But before Zhou Qing finished speaking, he saw a light at a location northwest of the three, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at, carrying the momentum of overturning mountains and seas, soaring into the sky from the 【Demon-Sealing Strangling Array】.
In an instant, the whole world seemed to stagnate, and immediately after, there was a deafening loud noise.
The barrier light curtain that had turned blood-red, its runes flickered violently, and then it was torn open like fragile thin paper, revealing a huge gap.
For a time, terrifying spiritual power overflowed wildly, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds.
Following that, disciples dressed in Taiqingmen attire rushed out frantically.
Their figures appeared so urgent and embarrassed against the backdrop of light and spiritual power.
Seeing this, the three hurriedly ran over.
Looking through the gap, inside it was densely packed with Taiqingmen disciples, each face full of fatigue and pain, their whole bodies already dyed red with blood, unable to distinguish whether it was their own or the demonic beasts'.
But even so, their eyes were full of excitement, as if they saw hope in a desperate situation.
And behind them were countless corpses of demonic beasts, and even the rocks and trees of the entire Canglan Mountain had become blood-red.
The fishy bloody smell even surged out continuously through this gap.
"It's Zhou Shixiong, the Sect Master didn't lie to us!"
"He really predicted that the Cangyan Dao Palace set a trap to pit us, so he was here to meet us early."
"Zhou Shixiong, Zhou Shixiong—"
…………
The moment they saw Zhou Qing, countless disciples cheered, and their emotions were instantly ignited to the peak.
They ignored the pain on their bodies, waved their arms vigorously, their faces full of the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.
Even those disciples behind who couldn't see the front, although they couldn't see, excitedly pulled their throats and kept shouting "Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing".
That sound gathered together, shocking like thunder, resounding through the entire Canglan Mountain.
Zhou Qing stood outside the gap, hearing this deafening cheering, but his face was full of shame.
He really couldn't imagine what the Sect Master Shibo had said to them in that life-and-death desperate situation, to make the disciples place their hope on him.
This sudden trust made him both moved and self-blaming.
"Hurry hurry hurry!" Yan Xiaohu, who reacted first, hurriedly gave Zhou Qing a wink, and immediately organized the disciples who came out to rest on the side.
Zhou Qing also acted quickly.
But soon, Zhou Qing discovered that the torn exit had actually begun to self-repair at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the speed was extremely fast.
This made his expression change, and the many disciples rushing out inside were also shocked, and the panic spread rapidly in the crowd.
Zhou Qing couldn't care about anything at this moment, and the spiritual power light bloomed between his hands, fiercely injecting into the gap that was about to close, frantically impacting that self-repairing power.
But it only slightly slowed down the closing speed.
At this rate, in less than a few breaths, the gap would close completely.
Swish!
Beside him, an icy cold aura suddenly came, landing at the opening. Zhou Qing turned his head and saw Lu Yaoyao's face full of stubbornness.
As her hands quickly formed seals, ice-blue spiritual power threads flew out from her fingertips, winding around the edge of the gap, trying to freeze that repairing power with extreme cold power.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu immediately pulled his throat and shouted loudly: "Those who can still move, send all spiritual power to me, must ensure other brothers and sisters all come out safely."
"Yes!"
Countless disciples who had just rushed out, although their bodies were exhausted and their spiritual power was nearly depleted, immediately responded to the call, gritted their teeth, endured the pain of their bodies, and without hesitation gathered the remaining spiritual power and sent it toward the gap.
In an instant, a majestic spiritual power torrent created by many disciples formed at the gap.
Various spiritual powers intertwined, like a huge invisible hand, firmly supporting the gap that was about to close.
And under the support of this power, the closing speed at the gap was greatly slowed down.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing felt a glimmer of hope in his heart and shouted loudly: "Everyone hold on, the fellow disciples inside are still waiting for us!"
Hearing this, the disciples erupted with all their power again, and even others who had just rushed out with only one arm or one leg left were infected by this scene.
Roaring, even if only a trace of strength remained, they threw it directly, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
And on the other side of the gap, the Taiqingmen disciples inside saw this scene and were already in tears.
They supported each other, accelerated the speed of rushing out, and as soon as they went out, they immediately joined in.
"Hurry hurry hurry!"
Cao Zhengyang and many other Peak Masters, Elders, Deacons, etc., after opening the gap with the help of the jade slip left by Zhou Qing, did not escape first, but supported a light curtain with spiritual power, resisting the attacks from the four-color killing array.
Everyone was pale and tottering.
What they could do now was to buy more time for the disciples who were still alive.
After all, it was they who brought them in, so they should bring them back safely.
At this time, they also saw Zhou Qing at the exit with a flushed face, and a relieved look appeared on their faces.
"You wouldn't really want to cultivate my Old Four into the next Sect Master, would you?" Mo Xingjian was covered in blood, but still couldn't hide his heroic spirit, and laughed loudly at this moment.
Cao Zhengyang was panting, every breath accompanied by the violent heaving of his chest, and there was a shocking huge blood hole in his abdomen, with blood still seeping out intermittently.
Facing Mo Xingjian's words, he said without hesitation: "That's right, such an excellent child, I have seen his growth over the past few years with my own eyes."
He paused slightly, seeming to fall into memories, the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily. "From the green ignorance when he first entered the sect, to now standing out in crisis after crisis, every step of his transformation is amazing; I have forgotten when I had this idea."
"And this time the four-color killing array, as well as the jade slip of the Soul Severance Realm, all originated from him; it was he who saved us all." Cao Zhengyang's voice gradually increased, carrying uncontrollable excitement.
If it weren't for Zhou Qing making them prepared early, and after entering the array, under his order, everyone didn't disperse much, Taiqingmen would have been completely wiped out.
Mo Xingjian nodded slightly, then said: "So, this is the reason you told the disciples in the desperate situation that Zhou Qing was meeting them on the other side?"
"Haha, this child not only killed the five great geniuses of the Cangyan Dao Palace, but now saved everyone; everything that can convince people will be there!" After Cao Zhengyang finished speaking, there was another violent cough.
Mo Xingjian laughed and said: "Shixiong, let me make a bet with you?"
"What?" Cao Zhengyang asked curiously.
Mo Xingjian smiled and said: "Taiqingmen is too small; the position of Sect Master will only become a shackle trapping him."
"Haha, it seems your expectations for him are even higher than mine. I am very curious, what kind of Heavenly Dao Qi did you refine for him?" Cao Zhengyang asked curiously.
Mo Xingjian shook his head and said: "I didn't give him anything; Er Daye gave it."
Cao Zhengyang was stunned.
Immediately after, his thoughts flowed, seeming to recall the past, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.
Subsequently, Cao Zhengyang looked at the various killings not far away, didn't continue to entangle on this topic, but sighed heavily, his eyes full of worry and helplessness.
"Mo Shidi, am I a bit selfish?" Cao Zhengyang asked with a trace of confusion and self-blame.
Mo Xingjian also cast his gaze toward the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, his eyes complex, without words.
He knew Cao Zhengyang's state of mind at this moment and understood his difficulties.
This slaughter that lasted for two full months, plus the terrifying self-destruction of the Demon Kings, don't know how many people stayed here forever.
When everyone thought victory was in sight, the hidden four-color killing array suddenly activated. Except for their Taiqingmen being prepared early, others were caught off guard.
Countless people were turned into dust under that terrifying red lightning.
The disciples of the three sects whose spiritual power had long been exhausted in their meridians... no, to be precise, it was the disciples of the four sects, including the Tianji Sect, who were slaughtered indiscriminately.
As for the high-level officials of the Cangyan Dao Palace, don't know when they had already quietly retreated.
Before, they thought that the Tianji Sect, as a lackey, must have something to leave with, but they didn't expect that the other party was also calculated into it.
And Jin Leizong and Qingyu Xian Sect had several Divine Transformation elders who directly chose to self-destruct, trying to open a way out with their own sacrifice.
Alas, everything was in vain, and all failed.
As for items like teleportation scrolls, under this powerful four-color killing array, they all failed, as if imprisoned by some mysterious power.
And Cao Zhengyang did not stop the people of Jin Leizong and Qingyu Xian Sect from trying to save themselves.
When seeing that all their methods were exhausted and they fell into complete despair, he quickly gathered his own disciples and used the jade slip left by Zhou Qing to open a gap, finding a glimmer of life for the Taiqingmen disciples.
Mo Xingjian looked at his Shixiong, knowing that his heart was full of entanglement, but who made him be in that position.
It is precisely because he understands that no matter what, he will not let Zhou Qing face such a choice in the future.
After a brief hesitation, Mo Xingjian said: "Shixiong, you should have seen it; Sikong Yan is not a late-stage Divine Transformation realm, but a perfection realm. Your future path is also long; at this time, you shouldn't add inner demons."
"Moreover, Jin Leizong and Qingyu Xian Sect this time, being able to retain forty percent of their strength is already very good. I, go call them together!"
After speaking, after greeting other Peak Masters, Mo Xingjian left instantly.
Cao Zhengyang opened his mouth, then turned into a bitter smile.
Myself, still not ruthless enough; but if I were truly ruthless, I wouldn't be Cao Zhengyang.
