Immortal Road.

Chapter 174 The disaster star comes to the world
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

East Gate Pass, on the front line of the Luosong Mountains.

At this moment, the shouts of killing were deafening, and countless lights flew up from the west, like a grand meteor shower in the night sky, smashing into the position of the demon camp with unstoppable force.

Strange beasts were running wildly on the ground, wearing iron armor with inscriptions on their bodies, with sharp magical knives on their heads and signal flames hanging on their tails. They were galloping and roaring fearlessly, and rushed directly into the enemy camp opposite.

Further behind were rows of chariots and flying boats, carrying the righteous monks who had been gathering their strength for a long time. Some of them came from sects and families, some lived in the deep mountains and forests, and some came out to help from secluded sects. They had all been preparing for this counterattack for a very long time.

In an era of great contention, it is also a time for reshuffle!
After entering the eastern part of the Song Dynasty, the resources of the cultivation world will be redistributed, and it will definitely be linked to military merits.

As long as the contribution is large enough, the independent cultivator forces may have the hope of being promoted to a family of cultivators. A small sect can be transformed into a medium-sized sect in one go, and a medium-sized sect may even be able to capture sacred mountains and blessed lands and become an energy giant in the world of cultivators!
After all, the Zixiao Sect suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. In order to rebuild the combat effectiveness of the Central Theater, they promised huge benefits after the future war. Driven by the interests, all the righteous monks were aroused to the greed of hungry wolves, and their combat effectiveness soared.

The opposing demonic camp seemed to have learned about the participation of Qianyun Pavilion and Yushou Valley in the war in the northern and southern war zones at some point, and knew that the situation was hopeless. After a hasty resistance, they began to suffer a large-scale defeat.

For a time, the entire Luosong Mountain Range, which runs across the north and south of the Song Dynasty, was plunged into war and conflict.

Dongmen Pass, Chaisang Port, Qixi Slope, Fulongjin, Zixia Road. One by one the narrow passes were breached by force, and the demonic camp collapsed across the board. The sky, the ground, and the water were filled with demonic monks who were trying every means to escape, and they all wished they had two more legs.

Countless righteous troops in the rear launched a pursuit. They knew that in such an environment, they could just move freely and boldly without worrying about being alone in the deep.

Because dozens of forces in the eastern hinterland have been instigated to rebel, and the top righteous sects have spared no expense in building large teleportation arrays, countless armies of righteous monks have already airdropped after the general offensive was launched tonight.

As soon as the front line is broken, the rear will be full of battlefields and ambushes dotted everywhere. The demonic camp will never be able to gather in an orderly manner and can only be strangled to death in repeated encirclement and interception.

Until the entire territory of the Song Dynasty was recovered and all coastlines were completely recaptured.

……

Shangdang County, Gongsun Family.

In the dead of night, a group of more than twenty people were sneaking in a corner on the edge of the formation.

Everyone gathered around a skeleton, watching it tremblingly taking out pieces of material and arranging them, making the final preparations.

"Are you capable of this? It takes so long to prepare. If you delay any longer, the teleportation formation over there will probably be completely activated!"

Lin Shan couldn't help but remind them while he and his men looked into the distance, where there was a cylindrical light curtain that twisted the void. Compared to the physical clan protection formation next to them, the teleportation formation over there could stir up a riot of the vitality of heaven and earth more.

The colorful energy in the sky was stirred into a huge colorful funnel, slowly rotating around the teleportation formation over there, covering the sky and the earth. No wonder the Gongsun family wanted to activate the clan protection formation to seal off the entire clan, allowing no one to enter or leave.

If such a huge phenomenon were to spread outside, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

Of course, the Demonic Front is already overwhelmed by its own problems, so whether it can take care of this place is another matter.

The two Jindan-stage ancestors of the Gongsun family stood side by side quietly, watching Master Mang in front of them finish the last inspection, and then pointed at the treasure "Teleportation Stone" in the formation from a distance, and a white stream of light popped out from his fingertips.

"Om~"

The teleportation formation began to rotate automatically, and the ground around it began to crack inch by inch. In a blink of an eye, all the land within a dozen feet outside the formation was affected, and a large circular pit about three feet deep was opened. Countless dirt and gravel shot up into the sky, spiraling around the teleportation formation.

“Hula~Hula~Hula~”

As the teleportation array began to draw spiritual energy from the underground spiritual veins, its power was gradually increasing, and the scene in the array became increasingly blurred and distorted. Mang Zhenren outside the array was still adjusting his position intensively, as if he had some unique spell to locate and connect with the other side of the teleportation array.

All the members of the Gongsun family present widened their eyes. It was the first time for them to see the teleportation formation with their own eyes. In the past, they had only heard about it from jade slips and from their elders. In reality, seeing is believing. Now they can finally brag about it to outsiders.

After all, high-end formations like the Teleportation Array must be hidden deep within the top sects and kept aside. Ordinary sects and families simply do not have the foundation to inherit and collect these drawings.

Moreover, treasures like the "Teleportation Stone" are extremely rare in the world of cultivation. If it weren't for the fact that this time the deployment of the demon camp was to be completely disrupted and the front-line adopted a strategy of spreading troops everywhere, the three major righteous sects would not have been willing to spend such a strategic resource.

This was a feast for the eyes for the monks from the Gongsun family.

Seeing that Master Mang had completed the quality inspection, review, debugging, and final positioning in succession, and activated the teleportation formation in all directions, he began to pull people to the western part of the Song Dynasty thousands of miles away.

“Click, click, click.”

The protective formation outside the Gongsun family shook twice, the sky darkened instantly, and the light curtain stopped flowing and rotating, suddenly stopping.

"Woo~wu~wu~"

After the formation was forcibly disrupted, it began to emit warning sounds on its own, and in an instant the sound echoed throughout the Gongsun family.

"Brother Gongsun, what happened?"

Man Mang, who was presiding over the teleportation formation up front, also noticed something was wrong, but he couldn't get away at the moment, so he quickly sent a message to inquire about the situation.

The clan leader and the great elder of the Gongsun family responded quickly, telling Master Mang not to worry, that there must be some malfunction in the clan's formation, but it would not affect the normal operation of the transmission formation, so Master Mang should not worry, the two of them would handle it.

He immediately ordered the second eldest brother, Sun Lu, beside him: "Immediately contact the tribesmen on duty everywhere and ask what happened to the tribe protection formation!"

"Yes!"

Gongsun Lu took out a stack of sound transmission talismans, muttered a few words quickly, and then scattered them casually. The talismans immediately flew in all directions, each looking for the person in charge of the night shift under martial law in various parts of the tribe.

After receiving the sound transmission note, each member of the Gongsun family hurriedly checked the area they were responsible for, and soon they all flew over to report the results by sound transmission note.

"Report! There is nothing unusual in the Sutra Library."

"Report! Everything in the Spirit Beast Garden is normal."

"Report! There is nothing wrong with the spiritual medicine field."

"Report! The weapon refining workshop is operating normally."

"Report! The VIP building is empty!"

……

"Um???"

The second eldest brother, Sun Lu, instantly discovered something was wrong and hurriedly asked around about the whereabouts of the magic delegation. He also specially sent a team of people, gave them elder tokens, and went to explore the deep veins in the forbidden cave in the back mountain.

"Explore again!"

He had just given the order and ten breaths had passed when the clan protection formation resumed its operation. Sound transmission notes were still pouring in from all around like snowflakes.

Everyone was confused. Could it be that this was just an occasional malfunction?

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, at the same time, an unpleasant sound of "cloth tearing" began to echo in the family.

“Hiss~hiss~hiss~”

The experienced elders in the tribe who were proficient in formations immediately heard that someone had taken advantage of the moment when the formation stopped working and seized the opportunity to forcibly break the formation.

The sound of cloth tearing was definitely the groan of the clan protection formation that could not bear the destruction, indicating that it was suffering devastating damage!

"This is... a formation master is here to break the formation!"

Now not only Gongsun Lu was in trouble, but even the clan leader and the great elder could not stand idly by. The clan protection formation was the lifeline of the Gongsun family's safety, how could they tolerate others destroying it at will?
What's more, now is the critical period for the transmission presided over by Master Mang. If the transmission of the righteous army is disturbed, the Gongsun family will probably be in trouble.

"Check! Check quickly, where is the person breaking the formation?"

On this tense night, stacks of sound transmission notes began to fly around the Gongsun family. The on-duty clan members in various places began a crazy carpet search, and all the information was being transmitted all the time.

I have to say that the Gongsun family is very efficient. After only about five breaths, news came back from the southeast corner of the clan. It seemed that the reply was made just in the first wave, but it was delayed until now due to an accident.

"Report! A group of demon envoys have been spotted at the edge of the martial arts arena in the southeast corner. The demon envoy leading them is leading people to break through the formation! And judging from their appearance, they seem to be making rapid progress.
Whoosh~Puff~! Ah~hoho~Plop! "

The talisman that flew back stopped recording here, and there was blood on the talisman paper. It was obvious that this tribesman had been discovered and shot to death by a sword from a long distance, but the talisman was still sent back.

At this time, fifteen breaths had passed. Gongsun Lu was shocked after hearing this and hurriedly prepared to call a few elders to fly over to check.

But the patriarch and the great elder of the Gongsun family were already furious. This cult envoy was indeed very bold. Not only did he break the formation on his own family's territory, he also dared to kill people!
We haven't caused you any trouble yet, and you dare to take the initiative?

Good boy, you have a very keen sense of smell.

However, how can a cooked duck let you fly away?

"You stay here, we two old men will be back soon!"

The two great Jindan ancestors of the Gongsun family instantly flew into the air, set up a beam of light and whizzed away.

A Jindan-stage cultivator could normally travel a thousand miles in an hour, and if he overdrew his mana in a short period of time, he could burst out at three times the speed. It only took four or five breaths to fly from the cemetery teleportation formation to the southeast corner of the family.

The two Jindan ancestors had already seen from afar ahead that more than twenty furtive figures were surrounding a skeleton and cheering it on. The two bone claws of this skeleton monster were incredibly flexible, and they actually opened a half-person-high gap in the clan protection formation!
"How dare you! You evil villain, don't run away, or I'll kill you!"

The two old ancestors suddenly shouted loudly, and the entire Gongsun family could hear their thunderous roar. The twenty or so figures in front were even more frightened after hearing it, and each of them was like a frightened rabbit.

And at this time, it was no more, no less, just twenty breaths.

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord struggled to maintain a gap that was half a person's height. It was equivalent to going against the entire protective formation and underground spiritual veins of the Gongsun family. One can imagine how much pressure it was under at the moment.

"What are you waiting for? I can only hold out for five breaths. Hurry and run!"

His younger brothers hurriedly bent down and began to crawl into the dog hole. Before leaving, they did not forget to secretly glance at Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord behind them.

It’s not that Lin Shan didn’t want to leave, but he simply couldn’t leave. The two Jindan stage ancestors on the opposite side were already roaring over, and the moment they discovered them, they used an inexplicable light from afar to kill them.

If no one covers their rear, none of them will be able to escape!
The time that the Black Skull Demon Lord had deduced before was incredibly accurate. As expected, everything happened as he expected. The Jindan stage cultivator on the opposite side arrived just twenty breaths later, neither too early nor too late, exactly.

Lin Shan ignored the group of flustered brothers behind him, and without hesitation activated the small magical talisman he had prepared for a long time - the "Raging Fire Talisman".

This talisman was used by him to protect himself when he had just broken through the foundation building stage in Yichuan and was about to leave for the Black Lotus Sect. At that time, the future was uncertain, and his horizons were not broadened. He had not fought with so many people later, so he was very nervous about going to the Demon Sect, so he strengthened this life-saving method for himself.

Now he happened to be caught in a huge crisis. The front line of the Demonic Camp collapsed, and a fire broke out in the hinterland and the backyard. He was trapped in the Gongsun family on the verge of life and death, and was about to be captured by two Jindan Zhenren and handed over to the righteous side as a token of his allegiance.

Whether you can escape from the predicament depends on this one thought.

Lin Shan is not the kind of person who likes to be fussy. Life-saving props are meant to save lives. They must be used at critical moments and must not be saved. Would he not keep them for the New Year if his life was in danger?
The two Jindan ancestors of the Gongsun family opposite had extremely grim faces, and two streams of light flew out of their hands and crossed the sky. It could be vaguely seen that they were two "shuttle"-type magic weapons, and they were aimed directly at the gap in the large formation ahead. They were determined to kill these evil villains on the spot.

Anyway, it has come to this point. The other party is about to escape. Why bother to capture him alive or not? Just kill him directly!

Being able to live for hundreds of years and cultivate to the Golden Core Stage, the two old monsters of the Gongsun family are naturally decisive in killing. They will not give you a chance to say more and will kill you with one move.

The moment the red talisman in Lin Shan's hand was activated by him, the pictographic patterns on it were connected. There was no earth-shattering vision, nor dazzling light, only a red line as thin as a hair flashed out.

"Hey~"

The palm-sized red talisman in his hand suddenly ignited without wind, and turned into ashes that scattered from between his fingers, as if nothing had happened, and there was an eerie silence all around.

then,

There's no after that
"???"

Time just froze in place as they watched two streaks of light shooting into the sky from afar. A group of younger brothers behind them had just begun to dig their way through a dog hole, and their greatest reliance just went silent, as if it were a farce.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and panic was spreading in the dullness.

The Black Skull Demon Lord who was maintaining the formation on the side was stunned!

What is this Gou Ba Fu Zhuan? Before it could show its power, the talisman paper burned up by itself! This demon king has traveled to so many worlds, and this is the first time I have seen such a three-no product!
Fortunately, you were so confident before. Didn’t you check it before using it?
Now all the plans made before have become empty talk.

Lin Shan’s brain was also confused for a moment.

How can it be?

Hardened panels can be fake and cheat me? What a joke!
He hurriedly looked around again, and after a search, he found that he was not mistaken. The so-called "small magical talisman" that was comparable to the full-strength attack of a late Jindan master had completely disappeared.

It seemed to dissipate like the breeze.

It turns out to be a dud!
Apart from the two rays of light that were locking onto this side from a distance, there were no spells created by any magical powers to resist or confront.

Lin Shan felt a chill all over his body. Seeing that the incident happened suddenly, his mind was working rapidly and he didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly looked for the wind escape talisman in the storage bracelet and planned to escape.

Without my trump card, I can’t hold out for even one breath, let alone five!

The Black Skull Demon Lord at the side saw the boy's expression, how could he not know that he had failed at the last minute? He immediately ignored everything and directly pushed the brothers who were crawling out to the side, crouching down and ready to go first.

The younger brothers nearby were all very anxious. They had agreed that one would maintain the formation and the other would resist the golden elixir. How come the one who was resisting the golden elixir was out of action? The formation master was about to run away? !
If you run away, who will maintain the gap in the formation? What should we do?
The Black Skull Demon Lord said that even at this time, there is no point in maintaining a gap in your formation. I would rather die than let my friends die, so I, the Demon Lord, will leave first!

At this critical moment, the younger brothers had no time to blame Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord for not living up to their expectations. They all rushed together and wanted to escape immediately. At this time, how could they care about their usual friendship?
Of course, your own life is the most important!
What shocked people was the old man Zhong in the crowd. This old guy was usually timid, but at this moment he punched hard. I don’t know where he got the strength from, but with a single slap he slapped the Black Skull Demon Lord who wanted to cut in line and sent him flying!
"Pah! Plop~"

Then, in the astonished gaze of everyone, he was the first to crawl out with a grunt, hunched over his old back!
"!!!"

Everyone's jaw dropped in shock, unable to believe the scene they had just seen. Even Lin Shan, who had just taken out the Wind Escape Talisman, paused.

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord covered his face and lay on the ground in a daze. The soul fire in his skull was in a trance, as if he was dizzy from the slap just now, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

A skeleton in the foundation-building stage was slapped away by an old man in the Qi training stage?

This person actually has such strength.

Is it a natural supernatural power?
However, now they were at a life-and-death moment, and after a moment's pause, everyone reacted and hurriedly continued to crowd into the gap in the formation. In a blink of an eye, they forgot about the strange things that had just happened and focused on their own lives first.

Lin Shan hurriedly began to activate the Wind Escape Talisman. He didn't need to compete with these younger brothers for the dog hole. He could just escape through the gap. After all, he had wasted a small magical talisman to cover the rear, which was already a great kindness.

It’s not that I want to abandon you, but the “Raging Fire Talisman” failed at the critical moment. What do you want me to use to resist the Jindan stage cultivator!

The Black Skull Demon King was also in a panic. He staggered several times and tried to get up, but for some reason, the slap from Old Man Zhong was so powerful that he was still dizzy and couldn't stand up.

At the critical moment,
At some point a ray of fire lit up in the sky, like a rising red star. The majestic and blazing light instantly overwhelmed everything, illuminating all directions above and below the ground!

The entire Gongsun family under the night sky, whether it was the brilliance of the clan protection formation or the teleportation formation, was dimmed under the suppression of the red star. The area within a radius of dozens of miles instantly turned into a sea of ​​red and yellow.

For a moment, all the members of the Gongsun family couldn't help but raise their heads, their faces flushed with a ripe, attractive red. The radiating flames exuded its dominance that illuminated the world, representing unparalleled control over vital energy.

Big Sun Real Fire!

A bright sun hung high in the sky, dispelling the dark night. Violent heat became the main theme of this area, and countless fire auras began to surge between heaven and earth.

Lines of fire connected in all directions, as if being drawn inexplicably, converging towards the red star in the center like a pilgrim.

There seemed to be transparent spider webs in the void, covering everything in the sky and on the ground. Clusters of flames kept moving along the spider webs, and in the blink of an eye they spread all over the Gongsun family. An extremely huge fire net was spread out.

When everyone came to their senses, they found that their hair was curling due to the heat, and it was difficult to put out sparks if they accidentally got on their clothes. Their whole bodies were sweating profusely, and they felt so hot that their chests and backs were pressed against each other as if they were in volcanic magma.

The surrounding flowers, plants and trees were contaminated and began to burn fiercely, and countless palaces, houses, pavilions and towers also caught fire unconsciously. The wind helped the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind. The smoke was scorching the sky and the fire was burning. The sound of "crackling" was endless.

"Moo~Baa~Awoo~"

One by one, the spiritual beasts began to riot and roam around in the family. The forbidden formations were burned through by the sparks, leaving them full of holes. What was worse was that the spiritual fields were attacked by fire, and all the spiritual rice and grains could not escape the evil clutches.

There are also many medicine gardens, where the plants are all the rare and magical flowers and herbs that the Gongsun family has collected over thousands of years. They are carefully cared for day and night by countless clansmen, who roam around and take good care of them, in the hope of refining them into furnaces of elixirs as nourishment for the clansmen's cultivation.

But under the burning of the Big Sun's True Fire, the restrictions in the medicine garden were rendered useless. After being burned through, sparks fell into the medicine field, setting the whole field ablaze in an instant.

Surrounded by the fire, all the members of the Gongsun family stood there stupidly. They had no idea how the fire started, and why it happened so quietly and in such a short period of time, they secretly gathered together and revolted at the same time as if it was a convention!
If the fire was only in one or two places, they might have rushed over to organize firefighting immediately. But now there was fire everywhere and even they themselves were about to be set on fire. What was there to save and where should they go?

The two Jindan stage ancestors in the sky were also dumbfounded, looking at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky within a radius of ten miles, sparks starting a prairie fire, meteor showers pouring down from the sky, the ground all full of flames, wailing everywhere, as if the end of the world had come.

How could they not know now? This was clearly the power of flaming fire!
In a flash, their sight was directly occupied by the flames. A violent explosion sounded from the front, and a surging wave of fire hit them in an instant. The two ancestors felt a pain in their hearts at the same time, and two white streams of light shot back.

It was the magic weapon "Cloud Piercing Moon Shuttle" that they had shot out earlier, which had been blocked in the air long ago. Later, it was hit in the face by the minor magical spell. In the blink of an eye, their own magic weapon was damaged, causing their minds to be affected. The two of them could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Before they could suppress their injuries and regain their focus to continue hunting down the demonic envoys or command the tribesmen below to put out the fire, the "Red Star" suspended in the air in front of them seemed to be full and secretly absorbed enough fire spiritual energy within a radius of ten miles, preparing to release all the energy to show its final brilliance.

I saw pillars of fire shooting out in all directions, tongues of fire spewing out in disorder, and fire bombs thrown into the distance. This "Red Star" that gathered countless Big Sun True Fires suddenly grew bigger and bigger. After expanding to a certain extent,
The ultimate self-destruction was initiated.

The red sun burns the sky!

"Bang!~~~"

An earth-shaking explosion shook the void, and rings of fire spread out from the center like lightning, mixed with sound waves and heat currents compressed to the extreme, performing a grand and magnificent fireworks display.

“Clatter~Clatter~Clatter~”

Countless flaming meteors exploded and then scattered in all directions. The Gongsun family members underground fled in all directions. For a moment, cries, curses, cries for help, and shouts overlapped together, making it a mess.

At this time, no one cared about the family business, and no one organized to take the lead in putting out the fire and rescuing people. Even the two Jindan stage ancestors in the sky were blown away to somewhere unknown. The fire network that was initially constructed and connected became more rampant, burning everything in sight.

The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell like sulfur, as well as the strange smell of burning various materials and exotic flowers and plants, and was covered with billowing gray-black smoke. The sound of collapsing beams was accompanied by sparks.

All the spirit beasts were frightened and ran around in panic. Trampling accidents occurred frequently as they rushed around in the family. I wonder how many more souls were killed by their hooves.

And the residual power of the small magical spell does not stop there. Although the red star has exploded, the vitality of heaven and earth in the air is still gathering. The fire spirit energy is gathering in threes and twos under the previous guidance. From time to time, there is a torrential rain of fire in the sky, as if celebrating tonight's carnival.

In the midst of this chaos, outside the large formation in the southeast corner, more than twenty figures, covered in dust, crawled out of the dog hole.

"cough cough"

The guys coughed hard to expel the fire poison in their lungs, and looked inside through the slowly closing gap in the formation with lingering fear. Over there, the flames shot up into the sky and flew with the wind, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting, and the building was about to collapse, and the thunder roared and rolled, as if the end of the world was coming.

They moved their sore eyes away and looked outside at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the twinkling stars, the fragrance of grass and trees mixed with the clear air, and for a moment they couldn't help but feel dazed.

The inside and outside of this formation are simply two different worlds, heaven on the left and hell on the right, but at least they escaped.

Just at this moment, a loud and clear laugh suddenly rang in their ears.

"Who? Who else!"

Everyone was startled reflexively and turned around quickly to find that the person making the noise was none other than their envoy.

Lin Shan was in high spirits at this moment. He flicked the light curtain of the large formation beside him with great enthusiasm. Listening to the elastic "bang bang bang" sound of the large formation, he kept imagining the blurry picture inside.

The enhanced panel is really good!

How could the golden finger that I was born with when I traveled through time and space be a fake?
Products made from reinforced panels are bound to be high-quality products.

What the hell is this Gongsun family? With just their limited strength, they have gathered a bunch of random people and want to capture this envoy alive and hand him over to the righteous cause?
Are you dreaming?

The bunch of younger brothers nearby also reacted one after another, showing their relief at surviving the disaster, and hurried over to hug his thighs and flatter him, all kinds of compliments popped up like mushrooms after rain.

This time, the Black Skull Demon Lord did not hold back, but instead did his job diligently and responsibly. After coming out, he did not forget to tinker with the Gongsun family's protective formation, temporarily changing the defense from outside to inside, and cleared the aura of everyone.

He then took out the bone banner and replicated the operation he performed in the stormy sea area. He dismantled the skeletons of a group of skeleton soldiers and assembled them into a bone flying boat in a few seconds.

Then, relying on the superb weapon-refining skills of a master, he casually carved a few flying inscriptions and formation restrictions, and a brand new flying magic weapon was born.

Lin Shan and a bunch of his younger brothers jumped onto the flying boat. They laughed heartily and after doing their bad deeds, they patted their butts and left.

As for the Gongsun family within the formation, what will happen after they suffer such devastation?
It’s none of my business!

After I leave, I don't care if there's a sea of ​​fire behind me
