Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 147 Eve
Yanming Mountain is located at the pivotal position of the earth veins. When you climb up and look into the distance, you can see the three mountains of Tianli, Biye and Guangya standing outside.

A formation was set up on the mountain early on, and the earth veins were dug up. Dark and deep evil energy gushed out, covering the entire mountain along the formation patterns. There are only three peaks on this mountain, and a flag was erected on each of them to control the formation.

There is a palace in the middle, built with black stone and decorated with white bones, which looks eerie and scary. The name of the palace is [Yisi], which was originally a place for Tiandu Mountain to prepare ceremonies and offer sacrifices to ghosts and gods. Now that people have left the palace, it has become a place where a group of wandering cultivators and sorcerers can benefit.

The hall was empty. It was obvious that Tiandushan had moved all the objects away when he left. There were three newly carved stone chairs in the hall, and there were people sitting on each of them. All of them had the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Shu Chun was now wearing a dark green robe, with kind eyes and a smile on his face. He looked at the two people beside him and said:

"Well, I said we should guard Yanming Mountain, and the other three mountains will send subordinates to watch over us. We can use the formation to escape at any time and we can defend against the immortal cultivators."

Sitting on the left was a boy with an indignant look on his face. He looked no more than ten years old and was dressed in maroon clothes. When he spoke, his voice was that of an old man with a hoarse expression.

"What's the use? The four mountains to the north have all been occupied. My men were killed by those people. What should we do if they come over?"

Shu Chun still had a warm smile on his face, a little black light emerged from his fingertips, he rubbed them slowly and said with a smile:
"These people won't come. The four mountains to the north have all been refined by witches and are not something we can touch. You are greedy and have occupied Bi Ye, and now you want to covet Wushan. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

The boy beside him gradually showed a fierce look on his face. He looked straight at Shu Chun and said in a deep voice:

"Shu, stupid, do you think you know a lot and are therefore unscrupulous? I want to see what gives you the confidence!"

"It's easy, you can give it a try."

There was still a smile on Shu Chun's lips, and the black light on his fingertips became brighter. Gradually, the sound of ghosts crying could be heard, surrounding them.

Poisonous fire gradually began to grow beside Zhan Yi, who was wearing a maroon coat. A sense of scorching heat enveloped his surroundings. His body was gradually covered with red armor, and he held a pair of crimson scissors in his hands, like insect jaws.

"That's enough! The immortal cultivators are right in front of us, what are you still fighting for?"

The man on the right stone seat slowly rose, shrouded in a wide, tattered gray robe. His features were obscured, and darkness shrouded the gray robe. This man was a sturdy figure, nearly two men tall. Standing up, he looked like a giant, his entire body shrouded in the gray robe.

He first turned towards Shuchun and spoke in a deep masculine voice.

"Shuchu, you know the most, yet you're so secretive. How can we trust you?"

Then the gray-robed man turned around, looked at the boy in the maroon coat, and scolded:
"Zhan Yi, you've cultivated the [Red Fighting Centipede], so you should have controlled your temper. You've finally conquered a sacred mountain, and you still want to run around like a stray dog like before?"

A fierce look flashed across Zhan Yi's face. He looked at the gray-robed burly man, and poisonous fire ignited all over his body. However, the other party did not give in at all and looked straight at him.

The boy snorted coldly, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he looked at the person in front of him with some fear. The hoarse and fierce voice of the old man sounded, saying only:
"Qionghe, you are not from Wuhuang, so you have no right to control me."

After saying this, Zhan Yi rode the bright red poisonous fire and fled straight out of the hall, heading to the sacred peak where he was stationed, without saying anything more.

"Old man, you act like a ghost all day long, it's disgusting to watch."

Shu Chun was still smiling, and the smile seemed to be fixed on his face. Only when he saw Zhan Yi leave did he chuckle and curse.

Qiong He, who was wearing a gray robe, stopped talking. There seemed to be a hint of doubt in his eyes hidden under the gray robe. Then he said:

"The four mountains in the north have each been refined with a magical power of disaster and poison. There is still one remaining [Poison Observation Association]. Where does it fall?"

Shuchun's eyes darkened slightly, and he only said in a low voice:
"You'll find out soon enough."

Qiong He did not ask any further questions, but stood in front and said in a firm tone:

"In all the tribes of Wuhuang, how many mortals live lives worse than those of pigs and dogs."

"Sky Poison Mountain has never had the slightest thought of rescuing these people. Shuchun, you also come from a small tribe, so you should understand."

Qionghe's grey robe fluttered, and his extremely powerful magic power surged unsteadily. He seemed to be warning, but also threatening, and said in a deep voice:

"I have only one wish, which is to unite all tribes and establish laws and disciplines so that the Wuhuang can prosper and the mortals of each tribe will no longer be reduced to blood-eating slaves."

"No matter what you want, as long as it does not conflict with my goals, I will not stop you."

Shu Chun raised his head, still with a warm smile on his face, and said softly:
"I will naturally help you. Don't worry. Once we leave Tiandu Mountain, Wuhuang will belong to us."

There was some fanaticism in his eyes, and black light surged around him, transforming into the shape of a hideous ghost, and all kinds of blasphemous words rang out.

Qiong He said no more, turned around and left, his wide gray robe fluttering in the wind, as if it was empty.
-
"Yanming Mountain has set up a formation to connect the three mountains. With Yanming in charge, he can use the formation to quickly support the three nearby mountains and take the initiative."

Duan Chengsi looked at Yan Mingshan from afar with a serious expression. Xu Xuan and Liu Qiuci beside him also looked unhappy when they heard this.

The Duan family is one of the few families in the area that understands formations and talismans. This is not just because one or two people in the family have practiced them, but because the family has a long tradition of learning and perfect training, and has produced talents in these two fields through the generations.

Xu Xuan looked at Duan Chengsi, his eyes obscure. What was Zhu Yucheng's intention in advising him to have less contact with the Duan family? But the Zhu family was also trying to wipe out Qingwei, so his family had no choice but to join forces. "Under normal circumstances, these families would have had several people who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage in every generation. The last demonic disaster resulted in only one person from each family."

"If one can steadily reach the Foundation Establishment stage, why haven't we heard of anyone reaching the Purple Mansion stage in all these years? Is it because they don't have the skills, or are they too afraid?"

Xu Xuan silently looked at the two people beside him. Liu Qiuci beside him closed his folding fan, looked far to the north, and said in a deep voice:

"Whose sect are these cultivators on those four mountains to the north? They've taken over four sacred mountains in one go. Aren't they afraid they'll take advantage of us fighting and attack us?"

Duan Chengsi followed Liu Qiuci's gaze and smiled. His black robe fluttered in the wind, like a reef standing in the wind and waves, unmoved. He said in a deep voice:
"I received news from Dingji Mountain that the four mountains to the north belong to the Ye family, the descendants of the Qi State. This family was ordered by the court to take over the four sacred mountains and will not cause any more trouble."

Liu Qiuci, who was standing beside him, still had a worried look on his face. He was still holding the precious green willow in his hand and said softly:

"Fellow Daoist Cheng Si has information about Dingji Mountain, so there's nothing to worry about. However, there are too many people involved in this place, which makes people feel uneasy."

Duan Chengsi's expression did not change at all. He frowned and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Qiuci, don't worry. My family has already brought out our deepest resources and used the [Unrest Ceremony] to hold the fort. However, by then, Yanming and Guangya Mountains will belong to my family."

"That's fine, of course. If you're willing to take out such a valuable weapon, you should definitely take more."

Liu Qiuci's expression eased slightly, as if he knew what this [Unresting Instrument] was. He turned to explain to Xu Xuan:
"The [Unresting Instrument] is an ancient magical instrument, and it is also an extremely rare and powerful instrument that can suppress an entire area. It can stir up the earth veins and disrupt the formation."

When Xu Xuan heard this, he realized that it was the first time he had seen a magical weapon that could break an array. The Duan family was indeed very powerful.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng Si seems to be determined to acquire these sacred mountains. I wonder what the reason is?"

Xu Xuan spoke at this time, somewhat curious.

Duan Chengsi looked normal, looking towards Guangya and Yanming, and said in a deep voice:
"My family cultivates the 'Gen Earth'. Regardless of its production or spiritual energy, the sacred mountain itself is of great benefit to spiritual practice and is the foundation of one's life."

He said this, and said no more:
"In my opinion, if we want to capture this place, we should split into two groups. The ones who build their foundation will attack Yan Ming with their magical tools, and the rest of the people will surround the three mountains, making it difficult for him to deal with both ends."

"The other party wants to send a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage to guard Yanming and provide support to all parties. We only need to hold back the leaders and let the tribute take care of the rest of the barbarians."

Xu Xuan looked towards Lingshan in the distance and asked:
"Are all the late foundation building cultivators here on Yanming Mountain?"

Duan Chengsi had obviously checked it before, and now he said:

"I've already inquired. The three late-stage cultivators, Shuchun, Zhuanyi, and Qionghe, are all stationed in Yanming to provide assistance to all directions. There may be a few more people hiding in the dark. We need to be careful."

"Although the magical instruments and skills of these independent cultivators are not very good, they have fought their way out. I have prepared talismans for some of them, ready for the attack on the mountain."

As he spoke, Duan Chengsi cast out two talismans, which emitted a bright white light and fell into the hands of Xu Xuan and Liu Qiuci.

Liu Qiuci had obviously seen this talisman before, and was slightly surprised. He said in a low voice:

"[Yuan Ling Fu], you've prepared everything."

Xu Xuan, who was standing by, took the talisman, not understanding its function. He only felt that it contained an extremely pure spiritual energy. It did not look like a talisman, but more like a big pill.

Duan Chengsi saw Xu Xuan was puzzled and explained in a deep voice:

"This talisman is specifically used to increase mana in a short period of time. It can quickly narrow the gap in cultivation level and can last for dozens of breaths."

"But after using it, you will feel your mana is depleted, and you need to take pills and regulate your breathing to recover. Be sure to use it with caution and treat it as a killing move."

Xu Xuan took the talisman, thanked him softly, and accepted it.

According to the plan, he was to deal with Shuchun, a late-stage cultivator, cultivating the "Huozhu" technique, whose immortal foundation was [Yi Shou Xiang]. The other party rarely attacked, and the actions were carried out by a demon under his command in the middle stage of foundation building, so the situation was unclear.

Although I don't understand the other party's methods, as long as I can hold him back and send my disciples to capture Tianli, I will be successful.

As for Delirium, this person occupied Bi Ye and was dealt with by Liu Qiuci. Xu Xuan was very familiar with the immortal foundation that this wizard practiced, [Red Fighting Centipede], so he couldn't help but pay attention to him.

Finally, there was only one person left, named Qionghe. His Taoist tradition and immortal foundation were unknown, so Duan Chengsi was responsible for dealing with him, so Xu Xuan didn't need to worry about him.

Finally, he looked towards the four sacred mountains in the north. There were many cultivators walking on them, and there was indeed no offense. According to Duan Chengsi, the four mountains were occupied by the Ye family, and they had received an order from the court. I wonder why?
The involvement of the Song family made Xu Xuan feel a little gloomy, but he was determined to obtain Tianli Mountain. For the sect, this sacred mountain was better than any magical instrument or spiritual object, and it was the foundation of prosperity.

"This may result in death, but it has to be done."

Xu Xuan took a deep breath, and a faint light appeared on his back.
