Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 148 Attacking the Mountain
The sky was gloomy. Wuhuang was already full of miasma, and the sunlight was not visible at this time, and the sky was dark.

On Yanming Mountain, Qiong He stood in the clouds, with a surging crimson blood light around him, which then turned into clear and dazzling auspicious clouds, supporting his figure.

Beside him were Zhan Yan and Shu Chun, both of whom were looking not far away, as if they had noticed something.

"coming."

The foundation may be hidden, but refining Qi is difficult. Qiong He can already feel the momentum of the storm coming outside the mountain.

He activated the token, and the barbarians moved in response, each holding a sword and driving insects and beasts. Those who had some cultivation in various Wuhuang tribes were all here, roughly nearly a thousand people, most of whom were practicing fetal breathing, and few were practicing Qi training.

"Shuchun, activate the formation as you said."

Shu Chun on the side summoned a formation plate, with Yanming Mountain as the center, and the surging evil energy overflowed, connecting the three mountains of Tianli, Biye and Guangya.

It was extremely quiet at this time, with only the chirping of insects in the mountains. Among the barbarians stationed below, someone shot an arrow, which streaked across the sky and fell straight into the mountains to the west.

Suddenly, bright yellow precious light emerged, and a magical instrument with a closed lid, shaped like a wine jar, was suspended high in the air. In the middle, there was a pillar made of precious gold. Nine copper snakes coiled their tails on the pillar, with their heads sticking out, activating the earth's veins. It was the [Unrest Ceremony].

The originally stable formation began to shake at this time, and the bright yellow Gen Earth light swept down, knocking down the originally surging evil spirit.

The three wizards on Yanming Mountain looked calm, as if they had already expected this result.

The cultivators from various sects rode on clouds and mist, carrying magical weapons, and came from the western mountains in an instant. They were divided into three groups and headed towards the three mountains nearby.

Shouts and cries of killing filled the air, and all kinds of magical lights, water and fire swept down, along with spells and bones, completely disrupting the tranquility of the mountains. Countless barbarians and monks fought in one place, staining the mountains and forests with blood.

Three people came flying from afar and arrived in an instant. Xu Xuan, Liu Qiuci and Duan Chengsi had already arrived. They wanted to use the formation-breaking ability of [Unrest Instrument] to completely trap the opponent and prevent them from rushing to help.

Xu Xuan slowly pulled out Hengguang and looked at the wizards in front of him. His gaze finally settled on the man wearing a dark green robe and a smile on his face. It was Shu Chun.

Qiong He's grey robe fluttered, his face unclear. Auspicious clouds formed by his blood and energy floated around him. He spoke first, his voice deep and powerful:

"Wuhuang is the place where we were born and raised. We will not allow you immortal cultivators to invade."

Liu Qiuci held up the lush green willow, looking very graceful, and said with a smile:
"We only want Lingshan. If you give it up, we can retreat naturally."

The boy in the maroon coat stared at him fiercely with a stern look in his eyes and cursed in an old voice:
"What bullshit are you talking about? You are only in the early stage of foundation building, and you dare to speak nonsense here."

Liu Qiuci's expression remained normal, and he only said:

"Try?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the delirious Yan could not bear the provocation and immediately took action. Bright red poisonous fire poured down, and the man was quickly covered with red armor as hard as fine iron. Two arms grew out from the side and he came straight towards him to kill.

Seeing that the other party moved first, Qionghe and Shuchun on the side had no choice but to rush over and support them.

Liu Qiuci's skills were superb. The willow branches intertwined, emitting green light, blocking the opponent's way.

Delirium held a sword, a knife, and an axe in each of his four hands, and turned into a ball of bright red fire cloud. It rolled and rushed into the willow branches, with weapons in its hands flying and poisonous fire spitting out of its mouth. It killed in an instant.

One is as soft as a willow branch, with a green glow, and the other is as poisonous as a fierce one, with a bright burnt flame. They are mixed together, each casting spells and showing off their power and ferocity. This one is a young man from a noble family, and that one is an old monster, and neither of them gives in at all.

When the green light settled, all living things in the plants and trees turned into soldiers and came to help. Poisonous fire spread, and poisonous creatures in the mountains and fields were summoned, and they all roared hoarsely. For a moment, the monks and barbarians below were shaken and uneasy, fearing that they would be hurt.

After all, it was because Zhan Yan had a profound cultivation level that Liu Qiuci gradually lost the upper hand, but he still pestered the other party and trapped him.

Let’s not talk about this here for now. Xu Xuan and Shu Chun have already started a fight. Thunder roars, ghosts cry, the dark clouds in the sky are stirred up, and rain falls down.

Shu Chun held a spear carved from white bones, a top-grade magic weapon for foundation building, with astonishing power. The evil aura around him was so strong that it could even eliminate the lightning.

Xu Xuan held Hengguang, and the sword energy slashed across. A dark pool of disaster appeared above his head, with lightning surging and heavenly sounds roaring, blessing the sword.

The sword energy crisscrossed and surged out from different directions, which was exactly the power of Hengguang [Mirror Return].

A murderous wind swept over Shu Chun's body, revealing his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building. He eliminated all light and sound. He waved his hand to reveal a black stone altar densely engraved with spells, and confronted Xu Xuan Lei Chi.

The bone spear was swung, surrounded by an extremely thick black light, pressing down. Many spells and sacrificial sounds emerged from the black stone altar above, blessing Shu Chun.

On Xu Xuan's sword, the hazy and changing sword energy appeared and was swung down casually, destroying all the black light and spells. With a firm mind, nine [Great Shock Prayer Thunder Lights] emerged from the sword as if calling for generals.

Shu Chun's face changed, and he stood still with the gun in his hand. The black light and the spell intertwined, and he turned into a ferocious ghost-like image with a green face and fangs, wearing black armor covered with spikes, and hugged towards Xu Xuan.

He opened his mouth and took a breath, his mouth opened very wide, and the rolling evil energy from Yanming Mountain rushed in and fell into his stomach. Then he exhaled again, and the evil energy surged in all directions, swallowing up all nine lightning bolts.

The ghost had already rushed over and tried to hug Xu Xuan. Its body was covered with ferocious spikes. Xu Xuan turned into lightning and dodged in an instant.

Duan Chengsi was in charge of the Unrest Instrument, Qionghe controlled the formation, the rolling evil energy and the Gentu treasure light collided, and neither side wanted to give in.

Seeing that the formation was showing signs of decline, Qiong He snorted coldly and rushed over in a flash of blood, holding high a huge red sword in his hand, which turned out to be an ancient magic weapon. His gray robe fluttered and he slashed straight at Duan Chengsi.

Although Bu Ningyi wanted to resist the formation, Duan Chengsi did not look panicked at all. He just threw talismans at him one after another.

He possessed all five elements, and he actually relied on the talismans to attack hard, and defeated the cultivator in the late foundation building stage in front of him.

Qiong He was frustrated and roared in anger. He raised a giant sword as tall as a person, and pure blood light surged. His lower body was revealed from his gray robe, and it looked like the tail of a dragon or snake.

"Demon?"

Duan Chengsi was somewhat surprised and doubtful. He raised a small flag with his hand, and a bright yellow light gradually emerged, suppressing the enemy.

"Demon?"

Qionghe said coldly:
"I am a human, not a demon, and certainly not an immortal."

He raised his sword and slashed forward, exerting an extremely terrifying force that chopped the precious flag and sent it flying backwards. The blood and energy like a deep ocean began to surge at this moment, which was extremely captivating.

The dragon and snake half stood upright, while Qionghe's upper body was still hidden in the gray robe, his face not visible. He gripped the heavy sword in his hand and said coldly:
"Remember, I am a human being, an upright human being."

Duan Chengsi's words seemed to have touched a sore spot for this person. Blood spread out and the heavy sword swung down without any pattern, but it was able to directly chop off the opponent's talismans and magic weapons.

Xu Xuan was fighting with Shu Chun. The opponent knew that his magic sword was powerful, so he immediately avoided the fight, using the evil energy below to eliminate the lightning and hide his body.

The movement of Qionghe nearby caught Xu Xuan's attention. He used his spiritual sense to investigate and was slightly surprised to find that the dragon-snake half was exactly the strange appearance recorded in the [Jade Blood Heavenly Heart Technique] of Fu Yi's body.

"Has this person also practiced this magic? Or was it born with this?"

The shouts and cries of killing in the distance were getting more and more urgent. The barbarians could not resist the monks and gradually fell into a disadvantage. Even though there were several wizards in the early and middle stages of foundation building, they were soon suppressed by the priests of various families.

Shu Chun, however, showed no sign of being in a hurry and kept dragging his feet, which made Xu Xuan gradually feel confused.

"If we delay any longer, the barbarians in the three nearby mountains will be defeated. What on earth is this man thinking?" The black light and the incantation rushed towards him slowly, asking Xu Xuan to destroy them easily. Shu Chun didn't know what kind of "evil spirit" magic he had practiced, but he took advantage of the evil spirit energy surging from the formation below to hide and avoid it, just delaying.

Xu Xuan thought it would be a fierce battle, but the other party was not willing to fight any longer.

However, Zhan Yan on the side used all his means, exchanging his life for injury. Even though Liu Qiuci used Qing Yuliu to protect himself, he was still burned by the poisonous fire, and his face did not look very good.

Qiong He, holding a giant sword shrouded in blood, pushed Duan Chengsi back. Then he looked back at the mountains and fields, looked at the defeated barbarian tribes, and roared.

"Shuchu, are you ready?"

Shu Chun, who had been hiding in the dark and evil aura, appeared, still with a kind smile on his face. He waved his hand and sent the black stone altar to the front of Qionghe.

The [Ceremony] Hall in the mountains shook continuously, collecting all the blood and energy left by the fights between the barbarians and the monks in the mountains, as well as the evil energy in the earth veins. An endless stream of blood and evil energy surged out of the hall and fell on Qiong He.

The originally clear and pure blood around him gradually became turbid, and his aura became more terrifying. The voices of ghosts and gods gradually sounded around him, as if they were waiting.

The red scales on the dragon-snake half of Qionghe's body emitted precious light. He raised his sword and swung it, and the surroundings were instantly blocked by surging blood evil, trapping Xu Xuan and the other two.

Shu Chun fled away in an instant, taking the fighting Zhan Yan with him, and headed straight towards the three mountains nearby, with a clear goal.

Some kind of powerful force blocked the surroundings, mixed with blood evil, and it was impossible to break out for a while. Qionghe's aura had risen to its peak at this time. He said coldly:

"Yanming Mountain is where the ritual is held. The [Ghost Feast Ritual] has been activated. If you want to leave, kill me first."

"But before that, Shuchun and Zhanyan might have already taken action to eliminate all of your men."

Xu Xuan could see clearly that the other party was cultivating "blood qi", and even the most orthodox kind. He was originally cultivating his own nature, but at this time he accepted external blood qi to bless his Dharma body.

"Orthodox monks of "Blood Qi" can use their blood and energy to perform transformations beyond the reach of ordinary people."

The person in front of him was definitely not ordinary. Xu Xuan's mind sank a little. These wizards seemed to have triggered the arrangements left behind by Tiandu Mountain and blocked the surrounding area.

Duan Chengsi activated the Restless Instrument, and the Gen Earth Light washed down, but it could not shake the blood evil, and it could not escape. He could only say in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid it's really as he said. If he doesn't die, it will be difficult for us to leave."

Xu Xuan's face was solemn, he pointed his sword forward and said coldly:
"Then kill him."

Xu Xuan pointed his sword at the opponent, and purple thunder surged up and merged with the sword energy. It was as if the sky suddenly brightened, and thunder roared from the sky one after another, endlessly and seemingly endlessly.

"Shuchun is gone, Liang Yong and Fan Qingzhu are here, they should be able to stop it."

Even though he believed that nothing serious would happen with the two foundation-building masters around, a shadow gradually loomed over his heart, and he felt extremely uneasy. Even his immortal foundation could sense it, and the increase in power meant that he was in danger.

'What went wrong?'

Xu Xuan swung his sword, his face turning pale as the sword collided with the giant sword in Qiong He's hand, making a roaring sound.

Liu Qiuci and Duan Chengsi on the side also took action. With the combined efforts of the three, Qiong He could no longer be violent. He just used his blood and energy to continuously repair his injuries, determined to hold the few people back.

Xu Xuan suddenly felt something in the Jade Child in his arms. It was a warning from his disciples. He summoned the [Original Spirit Talisman], and his mana surged instantly, almost reaching the late stage of foundation building. He shouted to those around him:

"Hold the line for me."

Liu Qiuci and Duan Chengsi on the side took out their magic weapons and used spells to lock Qionghe, making him unable to move.

Xu Xuan gripped the magic sword tightly, and the thunderclouds in the sky felt it. A heavenly soldier holding a sword appeared from his visualization, walked out from the calamity pool, and merged with his body.

The figure of Qionghe below was surrounded by blood and energy, gradually merging with the great demon in the [Tianpeng Zhumotu] that was connected to Jiuzhou and whose blood and energy penetrated the outside world.

Xu Xuan seemed to have grasped the true meaning of this picture. His mind sank, and his pupils shone with bright purple, with thunder and fire intertwined.

"I'm here to slay the demon."

He chanted softly, holding up Hengguang. The surging lightning in the calamity pool rolled together, and the purple thunder rolled, gradually generating a point of white light. An extremely strong sense of calamity and punishment emanated from the thunder pool and met with the sword energy.

The rolling blood evil shrank in an instant, like snow encountering the warm sun, the lightning and sword energy merged into one, and it poured down like a floodgate breaking in the sky.

Everything returned to silence. The blood around Qiong He disappeared, and his wide gray robe was torn into pieces, revealing the petite body of a woman. The originally agile dragon and snake half of his body shrank and turned into thin and pale legs.

That face was stained with blood and tears, and he looked at the blood, fire, and corpses below with extreme sorrow. He fell straight down, and the huge red sword turned into a pure blood light, wrapping up the Qionghe River and escaping downwards.

Xu Xuan had no time to waste. He turned into a flash of lightning and rushed towards Tianli Mountain in an instant.

His heart began to tremble violently. The ritual of Qionghe had been broken, but the power of [Jiang Lei Ze] was still increasing and still giving a warning!

In the direction of Tianli Mountain, dense black spells surged, mixed with wailing sounds, from both barbarians and monks. Then, changes occurred in Bi Ye and Guangya Mountains.

In the center of the nine sacred mountains, an extremely tall golden statue appeared at this time. It had a ferocious face, was dressed in ancient animal skin, and had a golden skull all over its body.

As the sounds of sacrificial prayers rang out, the thick golden aroma of incense surged from the void and poured onto the golden skeleton body of the god.

A furious roar was heard from afar. It was Qiong He. The grey robe she used to cover her figure was torn to pieces, and her body was in tatters. She ignored her injuries and roared:
"Shuchu, what are you going to do!"

Without the cover, her voice sounded weak, not as strong and majestic as before, her face could even be called petite, but her tone was filled with a brutal murderous intent.

The black spell rolled down, and Shu Chun had already flown to the side of the golden statue, holding a boy's head in his hand. It was Delirium.

Shu Chun still had a smile on his face and said:

"Qionghe, you don't understand the overall situation. You don't even dare to show your true face to others, and you still want to re-enforce the law."

His face suddenly became serious. He turned around and looked at the golden skeleton. He issued a decree, and the fire on it fell into the golden skeleton.

Shuchun's figure gradually blurred and merged into the golden body. The skeleton slowly uttered black spells, which gradually turned into the word "Qi".

The four sacred mountains in the north suddenly rose from the ground and fell into the golden skeleton, condensing into the shape of internal organs. The monks in them all turned into blood and qi, without dodging or avoiding, as if they had expected it.

Black spells continued to spew out from the mouth of the golden skull, gradually turning into the word "Shu". The four sacred mountains that several people were fighting for also shook. Only Chongxi Mountain remained motionless, standing quietly in its place.

At this time, Xu Xuan remembered what Duan Chengsi had said before, that the four mountains in the north were the remnants of the Qi State, and he came here on the orders of the imperial court.

He gritted his teeth and rushed towards Tianli Mountain, slashing the dense black spells with his sword. It seemed that apricot-yellow fire was burning in the sky.

"It's not Tiandu Mountain, it's the Song family. What exactly is this family trying to do?"

There was darkness on Tianli Mountain.
