"Everyone, do you have anything to sustain your life? I can't bear it anymore... If this goes on, I can only burn my life!"
Two days have passed since the tug-of-war. Li An's triple formation is now shaky and struggling. In the sky, the green knife shadow of the cloaked man does not stop, and even has a tendency to become more and more violent.
Li An himself is out of breath, looking like he is about to die.
He has been planning for a long time, and at this moment, his strange power suddenly loosens, and a corner of the formation is broken. A green knife shadow instantly penetrates. Everyone is horrified and hurriedly dodges. The green knife shadow explodes in the valley.
"Ah——"
Others avoided it, but Chen Hui, who was seriously injured, was affected. If it were normal, this little injury would not be fatal to him, but now it is like the last breath of blowing out the wick. His vitality has been exhausted and he is dead after all.
In other directions, several green knife shadows came through the formation and killed in.
Li An did it on purpose. After all, if he only let one knife in to kill Chen Hui, it would arouse suspicion, so he let more knife shadows in as a cover-up.
Anyway, letting these knife shadows in would not really kill the others.
Everyone was frightened and tried their best to resist. After a lot of effort, they finally eliminated these knife shadows, but they were really scared and said hurriedly:
"Brother Gu, you have to stay calm!"
"Be sure to stay calm. Burn your life first. After you get out, we will definitely find something to keep you alive!"
"Brother, you are my brother, you can't relax!"
Everyone was very nervous, and their hearts were in their throats. If Li An couldn't hold on, the cloaked man would come in and kill them, and they would all die!
"Brother, if you really can't hold on, just let go. There are seven or eight of us here. We may be able to deal with him together..."
Xu Yuan was worried.
Li An nodded in his heart. This kid is still a bit human!
But in fact, he was pretending to be like this. Everything was to hide his incompetence. After all, if he easily blocked the guy outside, it would be too conspicuous.
Besides, his goal in the Fire Phoenix Nest has been achieved - becoming an immortal.
Now in the Fire Phoenix Nest, the Palace Master and Li Nianxue are there, which is very strange. Secondly, Xu Cheng and others will not clean him up. He has no way to clean himself up and truly enter the orthodox immortal way, so there is no point in staying.
After getting out safely, Li An will find a chance to leave.
From a certain perspective, the current Immortal Restoration Organization is much more dangerous to him than the weird forces.
Therefore, he is now deliberately consuming his vitality in preparation for the subsequent departure.
"Fight!"
Li An roared and really began to burn his "little remaining" vitality. Immediately, the three major formations were all vibrated, cooperating with each other, as solid as the Great Wall, and the sky full of sword shadows was barely blocked again.
"Fuck, I'm not going to eat you, why are you fighting for your life?!"
Outside, the cloaked man saw this and his mentality was a little exploded.
He clearly saw hope.
"I'll let you go, get out, don't stop me from killing other people!"
He couldn't help but speak loudly.
In the valley, the faces of the others changed, and they all looked at Li An with some worry, but Li An was determined and said: "How can you deceive me with a plan to sow discord? Don't even think about it!"
The formation became more fierce!
...
Time flew by, and the cloaked man tried his best, attacking fiercely from morning to night.
Li An's vitality was visibly fading, his back became more hunched, the wrinkles on his face were like gullies, and his skin looked lifeless.
"Time is almost up..."
Outside the valley, the cloaked man hated to the extreme!
If there were another three days, he would definitely, definitely be able to break these formations and kill everyone in the valley.
At that time, he should be able to absorb enough life energy, and his life seed will most likely be truly cultivated.
Unfortunately, there is no time now.
Even if the Palace Master can only buy him three more days, if time is too long, the great masters will definitely rebound...
"Wait for me, I will not be a human being if I don't kill you!"
The cloaked man stared at Li An, extremely angry, but after saying this, he retreated instantly, no longer lingering-
Inside the valley.
"He left?"
"Did he give up?"
"Great!"
The people who had been nervous for days were overjoyed at this moment, and they had walked through the gates of hell.
"Brother Gu, take a rest..."
Xu Yuan came to Li An and wanted to support him. Li An looked too weak now.
But Li An shook his head, "Don't panic... This world has not yet opened, maybe this is just a trick of the other party!"
He still supported the formation, not relaxing at all.
At this moment, in secret. "Fuck!"
The cloaked man who came back quietly stared at the valley for a long time, and couldn't help but get even more angry. I'm gone, do you still need to guard against it like a thief?
He originally thought that once he left, these people would definitely relax their vigilance, and he could kill them all with a surprise attack. Unexpectedly, the strange creature was so vigilant and careful?
Meeting such a cowardly thing, like a fucking turtle shell, he was really helpless and finally retreated angrily.
...
Outside world.
"The fluctuations of the great way of heaven and earth have disappeared, and this world has become calm again. Now, it can be opened."
Master Lianyan spoke lightly and walked forward.
Everyone was looking forward to it and was the focus of everyone's attention.
Master Lianyan took a deep breath and displayed his great magical power on the spot. For a moment, his divine light was shining, and the magic seal in his hand kept changing. The order of heaven and earth was manifesting, resonating with his means. Finally, among the thousands of immortal lights, this small world finally gradually manifested, and the power of heaven and earth was released, and a light shield had appeared.
The small world has returned to normal, and people can enter and exit freely!
"Huh? Why hasn't anyone come out yet?"
"Yes, where are the people..."
However, there was no fluctuation in the barrier, as if it was dead silent.
The great masters were full of doubts, while Master Lianyan was slightly relieved. It seemed that Chi Yilan should have killed everyone.
He felt happy, but couldn't help but sigh with disappointment. After all, they were all geniuses of the Fire Phoenix Nest, but now they died in the hands of their own people...
But this was the instruction of Fairy Zi. In order to recreate the era of the Heavenly Court and eliminate the weirdness from this world, they had to sacrifice them...
This was the necessary price!
"Huh? What, we were attacked?!"
And at this moment, Master Xu Cheng of the Xu family suddenly spoke out.
He received a message from Xu Yuan and others, and was shocked to learn about what happened in the small world.
"Someone secretly attacked the genius? How could this happen!"
"What happened..."
Chen Wanli, the master of the Chen family, and Mu Lingkong, the master of the Mu family, also received urgent news from their descendants. They were being hunted and were hiding in a valley. They didn't dare to go out at all. They said that they asked the family leaders to pick them up.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
The masters and masters of several major families were all anxious and plunged directly into the barrier!
And next to him, Zhenren Lianyan saw this scene and was suddenly confused. What happened? What happened?
Didn't they kill them all? How come there are still people alive and people sending messages?
What happened? !
Just when he was puzzled, he had received a message:
"Palace Master, I met a bastard and didn't kill them all. I'm afraid you can't hold on, so I'll retreat first..."
Zhenren Lianyan was shocked and his heart suddenly jumped. For a moment, the powerful Golden Immortal was actually a little panicked. Someone survived... Will it reveal anything?
He frowned and followed him in immediately.
Beside him, Li Nianxue was also surprised. How could this thing go wrong?
...
Inside the valley.
Although the geniuses of the major clans had contacted their top leaders, Li An remained motionless and maintained the operation of the formation.
His nerves were tense. After all, if he didn't really confirm the safety until the last moment, every negligence would be irresponsible for his own life.
Even when others suggested that they could leave this world, Li An directly refused and asked them to call someone in to pick them up.
When everyone heard this, they also felt that it made a lot of sense. They praised Li An for his thoughtfulness and then sent a message to the clan members.
"Chen Hui!"
"Xu Tian, are you still alive?"
"I'm here!"
At this moment, outside the valley, rays of light appeared. Xu Cheng, Mu Lingkong and other celestial masters had arrived, and even Lian Yan Zhenren was among them!
Li An, who looked like he could no longer hold on, spat out a mouthful of gray blood, and suddenly fell to the ground. His eyes went dark and he passed out.
"Gu Fan!"
Xu Yuan hurried over to support him...
...
Li An woke up three days later.
He was placed in a side hall of the Phoenix Palace. When he woke up, Xu Yuan was guarding him.
"Junior Brother Xu, am I still alive?"
Li An asked with sleepy eyes.
"Junior Brother Gu, you are finally awake... still alive, still alive!"
Xu Yuan was quite excited.
Li An nodded, but felt extremely weak, so he smiled with difficulty and said, "It's good to be alive, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't live for more than two years..."
His vitality was almost exhausted.
"Brother, why do you say that? This time, you saved so many of us. The Fire Phoenix Nest will definitely treat us well. Don't worry!"
"The Palace Master has already said that when you wake up, he will help you refine the third-level immortal pill, which is enough to extend your life for a hundred years!"
Master Lianyan?
Li An's heart moved, and he said, "Has the murderer... been caught?"
"No... By the way, the Palace Master and all the respected teachers said that you should report immediately when you wake up. I will go and report first."
...
Not long after.
Li An staggered into the Phoenix Ancestor Hall. The senior leaders of the Fire Phoenix Nest, Master Lianyan, Mu Lingkong, Xu Cheng, and Li Nianxue were all there.
"Gu Fan, tell me one by one about what happened in the place where the phoenix eggs were born."
Xu Cheng spoke solemnly, but Master Lianyan remained silent.
Li An had heard from Xu Yuan about the follow-up events. After receiving the remaining disciples, the great masters were furious and investigated in various ways, but there was no clue in the small world. No one knew where the man came from and where he disappeared to.
Zhen Lianyan repeatedly investigated and finally gave an explanation: someone from the demonic way sneaked into it, and the world lost control in the middle of the journey.
Even, a passage dug by the demon was found.
This incident caused an uproar in the Fire Phoenix Nest. Zhenren Lianyan was obviously prepared, so the evidence and clues of the follow-up investigation all pointed to the demon, and the dirty water was not thrown on him.
In addition, he was the palace master, and even several of his own disciples died in it, so naturally no one would suspect him.
"Palace Master, all respected teachers, after entering the place where the phoenix egg was born, I went into seclusion with Xu Yuan. But later, many geniuses attracted thunder tribulations, and my place of seclusion was also affected. I felt powerless to resist the heavenly tribulation, so I fled all the way to the edge, and then I stabilized..."
"Later, there was a wave of war in Zhongshan, and I rushed over. I saw the cloaked man fighting with everyone. I joined in and used the immortal scroll, but found that the other party had a backhand, so I fled..."
Hearing what Li An said, Xu Cheng and others couldn't help but nod.
It matched the situation they investigated.
Li An's initial place of seclusion was close to Xu Yuan, but they learned from the other two disciples that when the war broke out, Li An rushed from the periphery to the inside. They did find a cave with a strange atmosphere in the periphery, which was naturally where Li An was.
In fact, although Li An performed outstandingly, the biggest doubt was actually on Chen Hui. How he found the demon was also puzzling to Xu Cheng and others, but Chen Hui was dead and there was no way to verify it.
"The talisman you used is quite powerful... It should have some origin? We have been dealing with Zixiao Mountain for many years, but we have never heard of it."
Mu Lingkong spoke.
"Respected Master, when I was in Zixiao Mountain, I was a seven-petal true immortal, and I was also a fairy talisman master. The fairy talisman was made by myself."
Mu Lingkong and others also nodded: "You are worthy of being the disciple of Golden Immortal Leng Rufeng!"
"You have fought with that demon for a long time. Do you have any clues?" Zhenren Lianyan suddenly asked.
Li An shook his head: "The cloak on that person can block the perception of spiritual consciousness, and it is completely impossible to detect his true face, life energy, etc. However, the green knife in his hand must not be an ordinary item. From what I have seen, it should be a Xuanxian level or even higher fairy treasure, but his strength is limited, so he has not been able to fully exert it."
"This person's realm should be just an immortal, or a Xuanxian, not too high, otherwise the disciples would not be able to stop him."
Everyone nodded, and the information Li An guessed was not much different from theirs.
"Thanks to you this time, if you hadn't taken action, I'm afraid my Fire Phoenix Nest would have been wiped out in one battle."
Realman Lianyan said lightly, "You have sacrificed thirty years of your life to save them, and you have paid a lot. I have contacted several Taoist friends and asked them to help you refine a furnace of three-turn immortal pills. It should take a short time for you to take it and extend your life by a hundred years."
Li An knew that this was just an empty promise, and he didn't know how to hate Li An for ruining his plan. Now he was just pretending in front of everyone, but Li An still saluted respectfully and said excitedly: "Thank you, Palace Master!"
"Okay, you go down and rest."
Li An retreated.
"Since the death of the Taotian Great Demon, the people in the Demonic Path have disappeared, and now they have reappeared, and dared to attack my Fire Phoenix Nest, they really deserve to be killed!"
Mu Lingkong spoke heavily, with murderous intent in his words. A Xuanxian genius of their lineage has died, and the loss is heavy.
"Yes, although the weirdness is hateful, those people in the Demonic Path are more worthy of vigilance!"
"Palace Master, we should hunt down the demons immediately!"
Everyone spoke up.
But Master Lian Yan sighed: "Everyone, it is not surprising that the people in the Demonic Path have made a comeback."
"You forgot that Leng Rufeng of Zixiao Mountain once planned to snatch the Taotian Demon Pot, but he returned empty-handed... He was frustrated, which shows that there must be masters of the Demonic Path in Zixiao Province!"
Everyone nodded.
In fact, Master Lian Yan was able to draw their attention to the Demonic Path because everyone knew about Leng Rufeng's plan to seize the Demon Pot through Gu Fan before. Everyone had a preconceived idea in their hearts and knew that the Demonic Path existed. He then used the Demonic Path to cover it up, which was logical and not abrupt.
"If we put our energy into pursuing the path of evil, it will be bad. We will expose ourselves and be targeted by Zixiao Mountain, and then we will be doomed." Xu Cheng said, "Does this matter end?" Lian Yan Zhenren said, "Of course not." "But the most urgent task is to nourish life and forge immortals... There are still seven geniuses who have survived the heavenly tribulation. Although they have not really succeeded, they have a certain foundation. If there are other opportunities, there may be a chance.
Life."
"Do you still remember the Immortal Vine Cave, one of the three major immortal places in Zixiaozhou?"
Immortal Vine Cave!
Everyone pondered for a moment.
"Zixiao Mountain, Fire Phoenix Nest, and Immortal Vine Cave are the three major immortal places in Zixiaozhou during the Heavenly Court era. They all have immortal Taoist traditions. Zixiao Mountain is the Taoist temple of Zixiao Zhenren, Fire Phoenix Nest is the birthplace of a fire phoenix, and Immortal Vine Cave is said to be the result of a primordial immortal vine becoming a spirit and becoming an immortal..."
"Fire Phoenix Nest and Immortal Vine Cave are both secret places, but the weirdness has come, and the Green Wave County of Zixiaozhou is completely covered by the weirdness. The Immortal Vine Cave is located in the Green Wave County, and I think it no longer exists."
Everyone was puzzled.
Realman Lianyan said lightly: "I have asked people to find out that the Immortal Vine Cave has not been eroded by the weirdness. "
"Inside the Immortal Vine Cave, there is an old root of the beginning of time. The entire Immortal Vine Cave depends on this root for its existence. When the strange came, the old root had its own sense of nature, moved and hid, and avoided the disaster. It is no longer in Green Wave County."
Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard this, and asked, "Where is it now?"
"Duanxia Mountain!"
Duanxia Mountain!
"When the strange came in the past, Taiyi Golden Immortal Zixiao Zhenren tried his best to resist, and led Zixia 30,000 miles to turn into a blue dragon. It was really a supernatural power against the sky, but he was killed in the end. The Zixia dragon was broken, and Zixiao Zhenren's Taoist body turned into ashes... He died in Duanxia Mountain!"
"But, Duanxia Mountain... is too close to Zixiao Mountain! "If so, if we want to get it, we must fight with Zixiao Mountain..." Several great masters frowned. "Not really--" But the real person Lianyan smiled: "The power of the life-nourishing immortal technique can resonate with the root of the beginning. Now, we only need to let the geniuses who have survived the heavenly tribulation go to Duanxia Mountain, and there is a great possibility that they can enter the Immortal Vine Cave. At that time, we can control the root of the beginning and fly away from Duanxia Mountain with the Immortal Vine Cave!" Several masters were slightly moved, and Li Nianxue next to him raised the teacup, took a sip, said nothing, looked down at the things in his hand, and seemed to be in deep thought. In her hand, there was the ashes of the talisman paper. ...
