Chapter 1087: Red Desert

Tao Tao Jiexing drove the wind out of the Xuanmiao Temple, his heart heavy and indescribable.

"Looking at his appearance, Lord Wei cannot attain the Dao."

Although Tao Tao Jiexing was not deeply involved in the world, he had attained the Dao at a young age and was extremely intelligent. He had been tricked out by Qi Qi Lanyan for two months and had not been able to return yet. He had his suspicions, and hearing this, he understood. His heart felt somewhat dazed:

"Cannot attain, cannot attain... is actually having attained."

The Tao family had a close relationship with Zhixuan and was a large family that often practiced the Three Yin in ancient times. When his great-grandfather cultivated the Dao, he achieved 'Non-Purple Robe' and attracted cultivators from more than half of the Zhao Kingdom to come and congratulate him, which was extremely glorious.

But the old man returned to the family privately... yet he was lost and wept uncontrollably.

"The old man said... Jue Yin was punished by the secondary Yang and became a demonic disciple. Today, the high hanging in the sky is called Zhixuan entering the world to wear purple robes for them. How can 'Non-Purple Robe' be achieved? Not achieving it is walking the right path. He cultivated this 'Non-Purple Robe,' but actually, the purple robe was hidden beneath the white robe, becoming a 'Masking Garment'."

Tao Tao Jiexing understood in his heart that Lord Wei not being able to attain the Dao now... was actually an extremely terrifying and dangerous situation.

"This Lord Wei... sitting at the very top of the Zhixuan Pavilion, the entire Zhixuan is completely intervening in the immortal Dao, almost manipulating the entire world situation. The 'Masking Garment' is inevitably achieved, yet he can stay out of it... Not to mention what kind of cultivation and ability this is... Lord Yao cannot be unaware of the mystery, yet he assigned him to Zhixuan. This meaning is already very clear."

"His aspirations will probably make the mountain very difficult."

In Tao Tao Jiexing's view, Mount Luoxia Mountain was actually very tolerant, otherwise Lord Wei would not have the cultivation of a Great True Person today... but how the mountain thought, who dared to guess?

In a daze, Tao Tao Jiexing had actually arrived at a gray, misty mountain forest. The mountains and rivers rose and fell in the night, and gray-white flags fluttered in the wind. It was the 【Bai Ye Duxian Dao】.

This place was Ye Gui's mountain gate. It seemed very inconspicuous in the struggle between the north and south, but it was also protected by a Early Zifu grand array. Tao Tao Jiexing took a deep look at the mountain forest hidden in the dark night and stepped down with the wind.

Compared to the pitch-black loneliness outside the array, there was infinite light inside the array. The ground was covered in gold, and layer upon layer of palaces had almost no immortal cultivators in Daoist robes, but were filled with dense crowds of monks!

And on the main hall, two Mohas had turned to the size of ordinary people, sitting cross-legged, their golden bodies brilliant, drawing a burst of Sanskrit sounds in the hall. Only a man in feather robes sat on the side, eyes closed, silent.

This small 【Bai Ye Duxian Dao】 was actually filled with released cultivators!

Not only were there Mohas led by Lord Lord Guangchan and Nu Zi, but there were also released cultivators and small cultivators such as Nu Yan, Xu Wang, and Lue Jin, arranged in order beneath the Jin Huang Lotus seat. There was also the Tuoba family True Person, Tuoba Ci, who sat silently on the side!

This was the strategy Ye Gui offered to Qi Qi Lanyan!

Across the wilderness was the 【Bai Ye Duxian Dao】, with a vast territory. To the northwest was Bai Xiang Valley, which could serve as a springboard to attack Mount Bianyan and relieve the siege of Mount Tangdao Mountain—the Great Song was doing the same.

But Qi Qi Lanyan calculated that the Great Song cultivators were anxious to reinforce and would not attack the mountain gate of 【Bai Ye Duxian Dao】 before repelling the northern cultivators. They would inevitably pass by the side to go to Bai Xiang. During the previous few battles, he had secretly used the Tuoba family's demonic methods to arrange for released cultivators to hide in the mountain gate of the Bai Ye Duxian Dao, accumulating over time, and had long ago hidden Lord Lord Guangchan and the others over.

The mountain gate of the Duxian Dao, which seemed to have been abandoned by the True Person, isolated and helpless, and tottering, actually hid a surprise force!

With such an arrangement, if Liu Bai and the others stopped to attack the 【Bai Ye Duxian Dao】 on the side, they would inevitably fail to conquer it after a long time, and the north could immediately surround them. And now, Liu Bai and the others were rushing north, and this surprise force could immediately emerge in full strength to cut off their retreat, having a great destination!

Helian Helian Wujiang, Helian Helian Wumeng, and the others were all bait. The only one who knew the truth was Ye Gui himself!

This group of monks had been waiting here for a long time and had long been eager to move. Seeing Tao Tao Jiexing, they were overjoyed. Lord Lord Guangchan, who was at the top, immediately jumped down and laughed:

"Cousin... is it done?"

To prevent being detected by the south, everyone did not even connect the grand array, operating the Early Zifu grand array to cut off the Grand Void. Naturally, they were completely unaware. Tao Tao Jiexing hurriedly joined his hands and replied:

"Exactly—they have gone north!"

In an instant, everyone was overjoyed. The man in white robes sitting on the side also opened his eyes, a few smiles rising in his gaze, and said:

"Why not go south now!"

Clearly, he meant to take the opportunity to cross the wilderness and strike directly at the heart of the Great Song!

But this joke of his made everyone's expression change slightly. No one dared to respond to him. One person stood with his hands behind his back, laughing secretly in his heart:

"This group is all here to scrape for fate, not to fight for their lives. Who would fight with you to the heart of the Great Song? Zhixuan gave no orders. If we offend the Underworld, do we still want our lives..."

Furthermore, there was still no definite news of Yang Yang Ruiyi. If they really didn't go to block Liu Bai but went deep into the south, and Situ Huo, Liu Bai, and the others abandoned the mountain to reinforce, cooperating with Yang Yang Ruiyi, they would be the ones isolated and surrounded!

"If we really want to go south, it's better to be practical about Wangyue Lake... but with Li Li Ximing and Li Li Zhouwei joining forces, we can't take it down in a short time. In the end, it's the same outcome..."

No one responded to him. Only Lord Lord Guangchan laughed awkwardly:

"Then please, Daoist, go south. We still have to go north and catch them off guard."

Liu Bai and the others attacking Mount Bianyan in the north was already difficult. How could they withstand these people attacking from the rear? Why gnaw on a hard bone instead of taking risks deep in enemy territory?

As soon as this sentence came out, the middle-aged man immediately closed his mouth and said nothing. Tao Tao Jiexing only said:

"Time is tight, please, everyone!"

In an instant, countless golden lights erupted, and they stepped into the Grand Void together, heading north. The colors in the sky were chaotic and turbulent. Lord Lord Guangchan laughed:

"I and Daoist Tuoba will go first. You wait here and intercept their defeated troops!"

Bai Xiang Valley.

Bai Xiang Valley was originally a treasure land with beautiful scenery. In the early years, it was the place where the Su clan of the Ning Kingdom established their clan. The hills were low, and maple trees were everywhere. But now, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, and the canals were crisscrossed.

The massive golden body isolated the heavens and earth. Countless eyes looked down from above, overlooking all living beings. In the sky, colors merged, and thousands of pink illusions crossed the heavens, one after another, layer upon layer, reflecting ten thousand purple and red colors.

Guarding this place was none other than the Empty-Nothing Dao Measure Power—Maha Zhelu!

This Jinlian Mohe was the Empty-Nothing Dao Measure Power, reincarnated six times, with extremely strong power!

And the sword cultivator standing opposite him, stepping on a piece of pure white light, was Liu Bai.

This True Person's divine abilities were bright, filling the heavens and earth. He stepped on the Green Jade Cliff, avoiding disasters, and pointed his long sword directly at the Jinlian Mohe, not showing any weakness. Wherever the sword edge reached, thousands of eyes closed in turn, shedding tears.

And behind this True Person Zhu Sheng, there hung a circular jade ring as large as a table and as thin as a cicada's wing. It was divided into two circles, inside and out. The smoke color rippled, and the rouge was dyed through. Under the support of his cultivation and Dharma power, it was like a True Immortal Dharma wheel, with infinite divine power!

The 【Supreme Bright Profound Jade】 obtained from Li Li Zhouwei's hands back then had now been refined by this True Person into an extremely formidable treasure!

With the simultaneous support of the jade wheel and "True Qi," he did not show any weakness, and even had a bit of the appearance of overshadowing Maha Zhelu!

His sword Qi swept across, inducing celestial phenomena, while Helian Helian Wujiang and Lord Murong Yan were still entangled with Chen Yin and Xiao Xian Yao. On the other side, Ting Lan appeared much more embarrassed.

Her opponents were Gao Gao Fangjing, whose fierce fire was surging and whose spiritual weapons were fierce, and Chang Yun, who controlled gold and seized baleful Qi, with high-level Daoist methods... Gao Gao Fangjing was secondary, but Chang Yun, although from a loose cultivator background, had already achieved mid-stage Early Zifu, and his divine abilities were extremely strong!

Ting Lan relied on the 【Non-Measured Water and Fire】 and the 【Purple Seat Mu Ling Pavilion】 to circle back and forth, but the injuries on her body were increasing, and she felt a sense of exhaustion...

"The manpower in the north is truly too much! Bai Xiang and Mount Bianyan... are absolutely prepared!"

This woman's heart was heavy. Her gaze quickly swept across the battlefield, discovering that the most relaxed ones were actually the three Li family holders of the Profound who were entangled with several Lianmins in the low altitude.

Nothing else, dealing with released cultivators, especially the Lianmins beneath the Jinlian Mohe, the 【Non-Illuminated Water and Fire】 was truly too easy to use...

This golden, purple-bright True Water and Fire only needed to fall on these Lianmins, and it was simply more terrifying than the 【Non-Measured Water and Fire】! The 【Non-Measured Water and Fire】 burned the surrounding Grand Void, but the 【Non-Illuminated Water and Fire】 made these Lianmins directly disconnect from the entire Grand Void!

For the Lianmins, this was not as simple as not being able to travel; the light of the released earth's reception disappeared instantly, and all released methods associated with the released earth became invalid. Even though the Jinlian Mohe Measure Power was on the side, and the released earth was closer than ever before, it was impossible for them to join forces to form an array and receive the light together! Unless Maha Zhelu, who was before them, was anxious and ordered the Empty-Nothing Dao released earth to manifest and communicate with the present world, these Lianmins would not even get a star of care.

Yet Li Li Jiangliang and the others were not easy characters. The light of martial cultivation became purer and purer, descending one after another without any obstruction, actually having a bit of the flavor of being at their fingertips.

This undoubtedly greatly reduced Ting Lan's pressure and reduced many worries. She raised her brows, once again forcibly using the 【Purple Seat Mu Ling Pavilion】 to suppress Chang Yun's golden blade. Her face turned pale, and she had no time to resolve the vibration in her body. Just as she was about to speak, her expression changed suddenly!

The True Fire that Gao Gao Fangjing had pierced through was fierce and bright, but a point of yellow light appeared from within!

The mysterious yellow Qi intertwined, actually supporting a bright and sharp large halberd. Before it reached her, a suffocating pressure had already rushed toward her—this halberd was prepared, and its accumulated divine abilities were aimed at taking her life!

"Tuoba family!"

At this moment, Ting Lan's two spiritual objects and the Non-Measured Water and Fire were all suppressed outside, her divine abilities were parrying, and she was suddenly left wide open. Chang Yun's eyelids twitched, and he secretly called out bad!

But at this very moment, a light suddenly shone from Ting Lan's brow, and a mirror leaped out!

This mirror was silver-white and bright, only the size of a palm, but it blocked the halberd with extraordinary strength. In an instant, the silver light shattered, reflecting silver light that pierced the heavens and earth!

"Boom!"

Only hearing a heaven-shaking thunderclap, the entire sky actually changed color. The silver light was like flowing water, falling in thousands of divine thunders like a waterfall.

"Clang!"

The thunder that filled the heavens and earth was truly formidable, actually clearing the atmosphere, breaking evil, eliminating form and hiding—revealing everyone floating in the sky one by one!

Ting Lan's pupils dilated suddenly.

She saw Tuoba Ci appearing before her at a glance, and her heart sank. Her reaction was very keen. She immediately realized something and suddenly raised her brows, looking at Li Li Jiangliang and the others in the mountains.

A point of white cicada suddenly leaped out of the Grand Void!

This thing was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, its wings buzzing. Ting Lan was extremely familiar with it—she recognized it in an instant, and her heart was suddenly terrified:

"Lord Lord Guangchan?!"

"This monk... is aiming for the son of Mingyang!"

"Hahahaha!"

Almost at the same time, a heaven-shaking loud noise exploded in the heavens and earth. Countless golden lights rose from between the three, and the face that towered into the clouds appeared again. The bridge of the nose was like a peak, the eyes were like halls, the giant mouth was wide open, and the tongue turned into a white cicada baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, as if grinning ferociously.

Lord Lord Guangchan did not hesitate and had already manifested his golden body!

His golden body was massive, casting a huge shadow on the ground, not only causing the three to stop in unison, but even causing the few Lianmins surrounding them to fall, their faces filled with terror.

"Lord Lord Guangchan?!"

Li Li Jiangliang only felt his whole body turn cold. The balance the three had been struggling to maintain among the Lianmins was broken, and they were pushed out nine steps by this huge roar, stalling for a moment, their faces all covered by the huge shadow.

The clean, sharp teeth opened and closed, and the mountain-like white cicada leaped out. In a pair of compound eyes, thousands of human eyes stared at him, pulling out limbs submerged in infinite darkness, and fiercely hugged them together!

A dignified five-generation Jinlian Mohe had been lurking for a long time, attacking with all his strength, and was mercilessly targeting him.

Li Li Jiangliang was covered by the shadow of this huge mouth, only feeling as if he were in a raging fire. His expression changed suddenly. He joined his hands to form a seal and cast a spell, sensing martial cultivation, trying to escape... but he felt the white cicada's pair of red eyes piercing toward him, using divine abilities to capture him!

"Dong!"

A melodious bell sound seemed to ring in his ears.

"Fourth Brother!"

Li Li Jiangxia's roar resounded through the heavens and earth, but everything before his eyes seemed to stop. A golden light was born from the darkness, only the size of a palm, yet it seemed to have turned into a mountain-like majesty, as if it were a fierce tiger that had been lurking in the depths of the jungle for a long time, suddenly leaping out and striking squarely on the white cicada's face.

"Boom!"

The dazzling golden light dispelled all darkness, and the sounds of shattering and bursting followed one after another. The buzzing chanting and bell sounds in his ears vanished, leaving only tranquility.

"Ao!!"

Everything around him was like a river flowing backward, chaotic and disorderly. The heaven-shaking screams echoed in the heavens and earth.

Li Li Jiangliang felt everything before his eyes fade away. Infinite strong winds swept past him, and in the red desert, the heavens and earth were vast, and the sounds of killing rose everywhere.

He only felt the world spinning. The golden sunset was rising backward from the west at a terrifying speed. A dark golden king's halberd was inserted into the pale cicada shell, and a pair of invisible eyes unfolded in the heavens and earth.

Before this bright, massive sunset that was like a wild beast lurking in the desert, he, Li Li Jiangliang—together with his two brothers, lowered his head at the same time, as if his spine had been pulled out, turning into three black dots, three ants before the infinite golden light like a White Qilin, kneeling on the ground in the desert wind.

The four stars between the heavens and earth flickered, and the dark golden long halberd fell back into its master's hand. His brother Li Li Jianglong's face changed in light and shadow, his eyes closed tightly, and he spat out two words in a strange mixture of fear and joy.

"Father." ===== CHAPTER 1088 =====
