Chapter 170 Detective
After Yang Laozu of the Hongshan Sect made up his mind, he decided to use the greatest strength of the Hongshan Sect to capture Chaoyin Mountain. It would be best to kill a few Zifu monks of the Qingxuan Sect to weaken this increasingly powerful force. of enemies. Except for the four Zifu monks who had to guard the mountain gate, he sent out almost all the high-level monks in the sect.
Even he himself walked around and was ready to kill people himself if the situation was unfavorable.
Soon, seven Zifu monks from the Hongshan Sect, led by Mu Huaishan, arrived at the frontier stronghold of Qingliang Mountain.
Mu Huaishan summoned the foundation-building monks from Jiangkou County and asked directly: “Have your personnel found out the exact information about Chaoyin Mountain?”
“Reporting to Senior Mu, Chaoyin Mountain is very tightly guarded. Any stranger who approaches will be killed and detained by the monks stationed on the mountain. Although we have sent many people, no one can pass the news back.” Xiao Hongxuan, the head of the Xiao family.
Recently, the matter of gathering intelligence has been left to Xiao Hongxuan. In order to avoid too much loss and to avoid the vigilance of the Chaoyin Mountain monks, Xiao Hongxuan did not go out personally during this period, but sent a large number of low-level monks to try to Close to Chaoyin Mountain.
Unfortunately, the progress was not smooth. Although he sent seven or eight qi-training monks to the vicinity of Chaoyin Mountain, as soon as these qi-training monks approached Chaoyin Mountain, there was no news at all and disappeared without a trace.
What Xiao Hongxuan could do, apart from confirming that there was a powerful formation in Chaoyin Mountain, he almost didn’t get any useful information. Instead, he alerted the monks stationed on the mountain.
When Mu Huaishan heard Xiao Hongxuan’s nonsense, his face turned angrily and he cursed: “I asked you to go find out the information, not to scare off the enemy.”
Although Mu Huaishan was unhappy knowing that Xiao Hongxuan did not dare to risk going to Chaoyin Mountain, he also knew clearly that even if Xiao Hongxuan took action himself, he would end up like those Qi-training monks. It would be impossible to destroy the large formation in Chaoyin Mountain. Find out.
Mu Huaishan turned around and said to an old man with a simple appearance: “Senior Brother He, these vassal foundation-building families are probably useless. It seems that we have to rely on ourselves to find out the truth about Chaoyin Mountain.”
This simple old man is the leader of the seven Zifu monks of the Hongshan Sect. He is wearing a blue-grey robe, and the crown on his head also looks a bit old. His face is pale and has a lot of wrinkles. , showing a hint of old age, looking like he has lived for a long time.
This person’s name is He Zhenze, and he is the oldest Zifu monk of the Hongshan Sect. He is now over four hundred years old, and his cultivation level has reached the ninth level of the Zifu, no less than that of the ancestor Heishan Liang.
At this age, He Zhenze’s life is running out, but for the future of the Hongshan Sect, this person still takes the initiative to take charge of the overall situation of this battle.
“Junior Brother Huaishan, do you think Chaoyin Mountain is a trap?” He Zhenze is over four hundred years old. He has seen many intrigues among immortal cultivators. He has a very calm personality. If he doesn’t understand the situation of Chaoyin Mountain, he will not Will take action easily.
Mu Huaishan had been analyzing the situation in Chaoyin Mountain for a long time. When he heard He Zhenze’s question, he immediately expressed his thoughts.
“Judging from the information obtained now, a small spiritual stone mine should have been discovered here, so Qingxuan Sect will let the five local foundation-building families get a share of the pie. Judging from the situation, fourth-level spiritual veins should have been cultivated on Chaoyin Mountain and arranged To do this in a short time, there must be more than three Zifu monks on the mountain, including a fourth-level formation mage.”
He Zhenze nodded silently and said: “Since Chaoyin Mountain is ready, there must be many monks guarding the mountain. And if we want to cross the Duanyun Mountains, it is impossible to send a large number of manpower to attack Chaoyin Mountain, otherwise Transporting spiritual rice along the road will consume a lot of money. This long-term war of attrition is very detrimental to us.
“Senior Brother He is right. It’s too late for us to get the news. Here in Chaoyin Mountain, Qingxuan Sect has already taken the lead. They have deployed a fourth-level formation, leaving only one Zifu monk to cooperate with the low-level monks stationed there. It can contain the three of us. Now that we have alerted the snake, the monks of Qingxuan Sect must be on guard. I don’t think it’s better to take action easily until we know the truth about Chaoyin Mountain.”
The speaker was a middle-aged Taoist nun in her forties or fifties. This person is also the elder of the Zifu of the Hongshan Sect. Her name is Dong Hongyu, and her cultivation level has reached the fourth level of the Zifu. She is not only the fourth-level formation mage of the Hongshan Sect, but also the only female cultivator among the seven Zifus in this operation.
“Since we want to find out the truth, why don’t the seven of us act together and break into the fourth-level formation on Chaoyin Mountain? This way we can take care of each other and avoid being defeated by the monks of Qingxuan Sect.” He Zhenze was the head of the seven people. It was no longer possible to take him by surprise, so he was going to let seven Zifu monks explore Chaoyin Mountain first.
The seven He Zhenze were all monks who had opened up the Zifu. Their flying speed was already very fast. In just one day, they crossed the Duanyun Mountain Range and arrived near Chaoyin Mountain.
At this time, the area hundreds of miles away from Chaoyin Mountain was wrapped in a large thick fog. Even the five mortal towns near Chaoyin Mountain were tightly protected by the thick fog.
“Junior sister Dong, how is the situation?” He Zhenze looked at the large formation below and asked the fourth-level formation mage beside him.
In order to seize the spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain, the Hongshan Sect went out in full force. In addition to the high-level monks stationed at the mountain gate, even the sect’s fourth-level formation mage personally took action.
Dong Hongyu flew around Chaoyin Mountain a few times, frowned and said: “It’s the Jiuding Formation. This formation is very troublesome. There is no clever way to break the formation. You can only use stupid skills to break the formation. As long as you take down three formation eyes, You can defeat this great formation.
I don’t know how many monks from the Zifu of Qingxuan Sect have come. If there are less than five, we will be sure to break the formation. If there are more than five, we may suffer losses if we rush into the formation. “
“Instead of rushing to attack the big formation, why don’t we act separately, take down the vassals of Taicheng County first, and see if the Zifu monks in the big formation are separated.” He Zhenze said with a cold smile.
The seven Zifus of the Hongshan Sect looked at each other and smiled, then separated and headed towards the five major families. In order to avoid being scattered and defeated by each of them and damaging the Zifu monks, they were actually bluffing and were far away from each other. close.
Once attacked, the seven Zifu monks can quickly respond to each other.
Just as the seven Zifu monks of the Hongshan Sect left, a line of wolf smoke rose from Chaoyin Mountain, and immediately after, three sword lights flew out of Chaoyin Mountain.
Three sword lights followed the Hongshan Sect monks and quickly disappeared without a trace.
