Immortal Road.

Chapter 244 Demon Sect Golden Pill
Master Zhankong's star map is indeed an imitation of the virtual star map. With the help of more than a dozen disciples around him, it really does look somewhat similar!
Even if Lin Shan came and saw it with his own eyes, he would have to sigh at this old thing's ability to copy. Just from the function of the seismometer, it is 70% similar to the virtual star disk.

I saw that on this hexagonal disk, mountains were moved and rivers were changed, and in a short while it was completely transformed into a Jingchuan topographic map.

However, the price they paid was that the auxiliary instruments similar to the armillary sphere in the hands of the disciples all around seemed to be overloaded, and they exploded and shattered to the ground with a bang. After all, they were not magic weapons and could not withstand the pressure of the power of heaven and earth.

Master Zhan Kong fiddled with the astronomical disk, looking for a suitable place to set up the formation in the nearby mountains and rivers, while also taking into account a hiding place. In less than a moment, he had determined a new place to stay.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise of people outside, along with the sound of footsteps on the grass and screams.

"Bang bang bang~~~"

"Huh? What's this? Why can't my magic weapon break it?"

"Idiot! Don't you see the array pattern spreading? There is clearly a large array blocking this place!"

"A large formation? Could it be those gray-robed rats? Have we finally found their hiding place?"

"Come quickly, there is something unusual here!"

"Clang clang clang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Clap clap clap!"

There was a clanging sound outside, and everyone in the formation was startled. Before they could retreat, the enemy was already approaching. What should they do?
As more and more people joined the attack, the concealment formations and illusion formations on the periphery could no longer hide, and thick white fog appeared, softly resisting the intrusion from the outside world.

I only heard a monk shouting:

"Hurry up and inform Protector Qiu that we have found it!"

"Yes!"

The sound of footsteps was soon drowned out. The group of people were still trying to break the formation violently. However, this formation was set up by Master Zhan Kong, and a group of Qi training and foundation building monks could not break it for the time being.

Everyone in the formation was extremely anxious, and they urged Mu Yan:

"Master Mu, let's run away!"

"Yes, before the Jindan-stage cultivator on the opposite side arrives, kill them right away!"

"If we don't escape now, we will be trapped. The enemies on the other side are all evildoers. If we fall into their hands, we will definitely end up in trouble!"

"Master, there is no need to hesitate!"

……

Mu Yan was very sober at this time. He waved his hand to stop these people from making noise, and shook his head to ask them to be quiet and not disturb Master Zhan Kong.

"Run? Where can we run to? Even if we fight our way out, can we outrun a Jindan-stage master? Without the protection of the formation, we will be exposed to the enemy and there is no way we can survive. Use your brains!"

"That's right!"

Master Zhan Kong fiddled with the astronomical disk while agreeing with Mu Yan.

"With the formation I have set up, it is no problem for me to hold off a Jindan-stage True Person for half an hour. If you get out, you won't be able to hold out for even a few breaths!"

Everyone was still extremely anxious and stamped their feet on the spot.

"What should we do? We can't just stay here and wait to die, right?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm still here, right?"

The old fellow now took out a white grid-shaped crystal stone. Circles of ripples were evenly rippling in the void, which was very beautiful.

"This is the Void Crystal Stone, also known as the Teleportation Stone."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they looked around.

Master Zhankong's bad habit of showing off came up again, and he couldn't help but explain with a smile while stroking his beard.

"This is my unique way of escaping, which has enabled me to avoid countless disasters while living and traveling in this old age."

"As long as we use the astrological disk to lock and map the nearby terrain, and then use the teleportation stones to set up a temporary teleportation formation, we can accurately teleport to any location on the disk and escape easily!"

"This self-explanatory combo has helped me escape two fatal pursuits. The men who pursued me both times were very powerful, but after I escaped back to my lair, I mobilized my influence and connections as a master of formations and easily killed them without having to do anything myself!"

"You must know that I have lived for most of my life, and I have earned a lot of spiritual stones by building and maintaining formations for major sects. Who doesn't know that I am rich when I travel around? It is common for me to encounter robbers. How can I survive without some skills!"

"Not to mention that even if you are on guard, you can't prevent a thief from roaming around in your own house. Some time ago, I discovered that my eldest disciple often appeared in the rockery in my courtyard. Maybe he wanted to inherit my legacy in advance! Humph, what a wicked disciple. He wanted to swallow up my wealth before I died, so I beat him up severely."

He was still explaining at the beginning, but he was gradually going off track.
A formation master apprentice behind him reported carefully:
"Master, the eldest brother actually discovered that there were thieves in your cave courtyard, so he went in several times to catch the thieves."

Master Zhankong was stunned, as if he had not expected this to be the reason, but his face remained stubborn:

"Humph! Tianfu Mountain belongs to my sect. It is the place where the leader and vice leader are in seclusion. How could any thief dare to break in? What's more, I have seen my eldest disciple often break into the room of my fifth concubine. He must have some shameful thoughts!"

The old man became very angry when he thought of this. Although I am old and my legs are short, and I have the will but not the strength, you can't take advantage of me when I'm in trouble!
Another array master apprentice responded:
"Master, the eldest brother said that he saw the thief sneaking into your concubine's room frequently, so he rushed in to ask for clarification!"

Master Zhankong still didn't believe it. His old face was ferocious with shame and anger, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Not only did the evil fellow break into my concubine's room, he also tried to force himself on her. When I came back and found him, my sweetheart burst into tears. She must have been raped by that fellow!"

It can be seen that Master Zhankong was also a romantic man when he was young, and was very loyal in love.

Another array master apprentice spoke up:
"Master, my elder brother saw that your concubine would not speak, and because she had been loyal to you for many years, he could not bear to see you suffer the pain of being cuckolded without knowing it, so he interrogated her and forced her to confess."

Master Zhankong seemed to have not expected that at this critical moment, his family's scandal would be exposed, and he simply shouted in anger:
"Did he find out who it was? Who dared to put a hat on me?"

More than a dozen formation master apprentices stared at Mu Yan, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

"!!!"

Mu Yan was sweating coldly. Ever since he learned the "Dongxuan Miaolun Yinyang Shenqi Jing", he had taken in eighteen concubines at once, and he couldn't recognize what they all looked like for a while. And after that drunken sex, he found out that Master Zhankong's concubine had caught him and often threatened him to have sex. So, he really didn't like other people's wives, but was forced to do so!

An unsatisfied woman is terrible!

Everyone around was shocked. They didn't expect that Xun Gu Sect had only been established for a few years, but the mountain gate had already been in such a mess.

If the leader came out of retreat and knew about this, wouldn’t he be so angry that his nose would be crooked?

However, before they could start an internal conflict, the external formation suddenly suffered a severe blow.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!~~~”

Dazzling white lights flashed, and what was blocked outside was the thick black air. The outermost concealing formation and illusion formation were broken at once. The third line of defense counterattacked in response and blocked the shocking blow at the critical moment.

The two sides inside and outside could see each other's faces in an instant. Outside the formation, there were men in black squatting all over the mountains and fields, bombarding the formation crazily. A white auspicious cloud was hovering low in the sky, and an old man in a black robe and in the Jindan stage was riding on the cloud, staring coldly at everyone in the formation.

The two black lines stretched infinitely, and while they were dancing and shuttling back and forth at a high speed all around, one could only see fleeting shadows, and it was impossible to tell what was flying.

After the great formation was attacked by an unknown black shadow, streaks of shining white light exploded and the deafening roar echoed in everyone's ears, striking heavily on the hearts of all the disciples of the Xun Gu Sect. The black-clothed men outside were greatly encouraged and fought even harder.

Master Zhan Kong no longer cared about whether he was a green or not. He just wanted to find a way to save his life first.

A cloud of mist rose from the astronomical disk in his hand. He also knew to conceal the place where he wanted to escape to prevent the black-robed old man outside from seeing it. At the same time, he began to throw materials out of the storage bag.

I have to say that the master of formation is different. He is neither panicky nor trembling when setting up a large formation, not to mention the legendary teleportation formation.

However, what has been arranged now is a small teleportation array, which can probably only teleport a few hundred miles. When the time comes, we can jump out of the encirclement and find another place to hide for a month or so.

A bunch of array master apprentices around him also helped out, some picked up hoes to dig holes, some carved array patterns on materials, some picked up rakes to plow the soil, and some picked up pickaxes to dig trenches.
This is also the reason why Master Zhan Kong always brings his apprentice with him wherever he goes. It is too strenuous for him to do the work alone with his old arms and legs, unlike the Black Skeleton Demon Lord who can command a group of skeleton soldiers to do the rough work, because "formation infrastructure" is also a science.

The people inside the formation were secretly sweating, praying in their hearts that Master Zhan Kong would be more efficient, while the people outside the formation attacked regardless of the consequences, hoping to kill these people as soon as possible and then leave the State of Lu quickly. After all, they were a group of people from the evil way and were also panicking when they were in the territory of the Confucian school!
The black-robed old man in the Jindan stage in the sky had a cold gaze, and two black lines were attacking non-stop with a "swish swish swish" sound. The sound was so fierce and violent that the people inside were so scared that they dared not look directly at it.

They knew that facing a Jindan stage master, they should not even think about resisting. This was a suppression between the two realms, and they had no strength to fight back. They had no choice but to find ways to escape. Fortunately, there was a formation master in the team, otherwise this trip would be fatal.

At this time, the people outside the formation gradually realized that something was wrong. It seemed that among the hundreds of people surrounded inside, there was a group of formation masters who were busy with infrastructure construction, and it seemed that they were going to set up some formation again.

The old man in black robe frowned slightly. He didn't think about the teleportation array, but just felt that this should be another master-level confrontation array, which would add some trouble.

Now he was in the eastern part of Lu State, surrounded by enemies, which made him feel a little impatient. He asked loudly to the people in the formation.

"Who are you and why did you kill my disciple Lao Mo?"

Mu Yan stepped forward to respond and at the same time buy time for Master Zhan Kong.

"Master, we are all disciples of the Luxi Xun Ancient Sect. The killing of Lao Mo was a misunderstanding! If he hadn't stolen the body-building secret technique that my sect leader specifically requested, he wouldn't have been hunted down by us. And we didn't know that Lao Mo had a backer like you behind him."

The old man in black robe had flickering eyes and ignored his explanation. Instead, he asked for information about Xun Gu Sect, trying to estimate the strength of the enemy's reinforcements.

"Oh? Xun Gu Sect? I am ignorant and don't know much about the major forces in Luxi. I wonder what the scale of your sect is?"

Seeing that the other party was still busy breaking the formation while speaking, Mu Yan quickly responded actively.

"Master, please wait, we can sit down and talk slowly! Xun Gu Sect is one of the founding forces of Luxi Lujiang League. Lujiang League spans both sides of Lujiang River. There are more than ten Jindan stage cultivators and more than a hundred foundation building stage cultivators in the league. They are all well-known giants in Luxi. Master, please think twice if you want to be our enemy!"

Mu Yan is trying to switch concepts here, putting the Lujiang Alliance on his own head in an attempt to intimidate his opponents.

The old man in black robe was also shocked after hearing this, but he was experienced and reacted immediately. He laughed coldly twice, and his hands' movements became more and more violent.

"You little brat is so sharp-tongued, and you even know how to wave the flag! I asked about the Xun Gu Sect, but you told me about the Lujiang League. I guess your sect is not worthy of the public? What's the matter? There is not even a Jindan-stage cultivator in your sect, so you are too embarrassed to speak up?"

When the disciples of Xun Gu Sect heard the provocation, they all jumped up and shouted angrily.

"Nonsense! Who said that there are no Jindan Zhenren in my Xun Gu Sect? Elder Hei Ku of my sect is at the Jindan stage, and is also a well-known formation master. His formation level is even higher than Master Zhan Kong. Who in the entire western part of Lu State doesn't know this?"

"Oh?"

The old man in black robe paused when he heard this and started to become cautious. He didn't expect that the Jindan Zhenren behind the other party not only had the same cultivation as himself, but was also a master of formations. This might make things a bit tricky.

Moreover, looking at the faces of these Xun Gu Sect disciples, they don't seem to be faking it. The formation level of the so-called Elder Hei Ku is even more powerful than the white-bearded old man in the formation now. Doesn't that mean he is close to the level of a formation master?
The people from Xun Gu Sect below saw that the black-robed Jindan-stage elder was stunned, and they all hurried to strike while the iron was hot.

"My elder Hei Ku may already be on the way, and he has gathered a group of allies from the Lujiang League. If you don't want to be left in Lu, please leave quickly. Let's just regard today's incident as a misunderstanding. This will be good for both you and me!"

Not only did these words fail to produce any effect, but they also provoked the old man in black robe to attack even more violently!

He punched himself hard in the chest, and black air instantly came out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and gradually a black demon shadow condensed in front of him.

This demonic figure looked like a human figure, but it had no facial features. However, when it walked in front of the formation, it let out a long and shrill howl towards it.

"Cry!!!~~~~"

The sharp screams spread into the formation, and all the disciples of the Xun Gu Sect felt a splitting headache. They rolled on the ground with their hands on their heads, as if their brains were being stirred up.

Among them, Master Dazhankong and his apprentices who were setting up the formation were interrupted and could not help but wailing, their temples throbbing violently!
The black-robed old man outside the formation sneered. You still want to set up a formation to resist him? How can I let you do it so easily? Jindan Zhenren has many tricks, and he can stop you even through the formation!
Just like this, the men in black outside continued to attack fiercely. Whenever the people inside wanted to set up a teleportation array, they would be interrupted by the Demon Shadow's screams. The situation was once precarious.

Seeing that the outer defense formation had been under attack for a quarter of an hour, the white light gradually dimmed, and it seemed that it could not last long. The people of Xun Gu Sect hurriedly took out spirit stones from their pockets and placed them there, and the white light slowly recovered.

A group of formation master apprentices no longer had time to set up the teleportation array, and instead began to repair the large defensive formation. Only Master Zhan Kong was left there to slowly work on it. The situation began to become deadlocked, and for a while no one could do anything to anyone else.

The old man in black robe had no intention of stopping. He knew that the people in the formation could not maintain the formation forever, because the consumption of spirit stones was a big hole, a bottomless pit, and there would always be a day when they would run out.

"Fight as much as you can. The more you resist, the more excited I will be! I haven't taken action for thirty years, so I'll just come out to help you guys out! Today, none of you can escape, so just be my bait!"

At this moment, a gray rainbow light flashed across the distant sky.

A long, earth-shaking roar was heard, coming from far away and getting closer, from low to high. It was faintly audible at first, and later became audible by the ear, like the low buzz of a mosquito turning into a volcanic eruption!
"Who are you, you rascal, to dare to bully my disciples? Do you think that there is no one in my ancient sect?"

All the black-robed men all over the mountains were shocked. They stopped and looked towards the distant sky. The old man in the Jindan stage was also horrified and turned to look back where he came from.

Everyone in the formation was delighted when they heard the words. This was a familiar recipe, this familiar taste!

Could it be that the leader has come out personally to rescue us?
