Wonderland

Chapter 276 Conspiracy
Xiao Lin silently watched the changes in everyone's expressions, feeling a little depressed in his heart. It seemed that most of the casual cultivators had the same plans as him.

That is to look at the right time and leave Ziyang Immortal City. No matter how powerful the beast swarm is, the disciples of Beilanzong will naturally resist. These monks of Beilanzong usually hold high above the ground and control most of the rent income of shops in Immortal City.

When the beast hordes attacked, they should naturally put in more effort. They were protecting the assets of the Beilan Sect, but it was different for many casual cultivators. They were rootless duckweeds.

Although he settled down to practice in this fairy city, he had no property, and he had always lived a miserable life. It is said that if one person is full, the whole family is not hungry. In this state, naturally, he has no motivation to fight with monsters.

The old man in hemp robe glanced coldly at the many casual cultivators, with a look of disdain on his face. As a cultivator at the golden core stage, he naturally understood that these casual cultivators would not work together with them to guard the fairy city.

Although the great sect is a place of cultivation that many casual cultivators yearn for, it can provide cultivators with cultivation resources and exercises. In normal times, this advantage is extremely obvious, and for the disciples of the sect, even if they walk outside, they will be greatly affected. respect.

However, when the Zongmen encounters a catastrophe, it is also obliged to help the Zongmen survive the catastrophe, and the catastrophe that can make the Zongmen encounter is usually only a large-scale war in the cultivation world.

In the face of this kind of war, the level of personal cultivation seems a bit insignificant, and the mass of low-level monks in the Qi training period can easily become cannon fodder, and the probability of surviving in the face of such disasters is not high.

Even the ancestor of Jindan, although he has a long lifespan of more than 500 years, in case of a war in the cultivation world, the probability of falling is not small.

Only by entering the Nascent Soul stage can one greatly increase the probability of one's own survival. A monk in the Nascent Soul stage is not an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. Strength, that is far beyond the Jindan stage monks.

In this kind of catastrophe, Nascent Soul stage monks rarely appear, but this does not mean that Nascent Soul stage monks will always stay in the sect and let their disciples go out to serve as cannon fodder.

These Nascent Soul monsters will also attack, but their actions are generally not seen by those low-level monks. The battle between Nascent Soul monks has broken away from the fight between ordinary level monks. In a sense, it is a decision. The key to the rise and fall of the sect.

The fighting of low-level disciples, in the final analysis, is a reshuffle of the aptitude and cultivation level of the monks. Those who can survive the catastrophe undoubtedly have a certain amount of luck. Go farther on the road.

There are more than a thousand disciples of Beilanzong in Ziyang Xiancheng. Among them, the old man in hemp robe is a cultivator at the Jindan stage. Naturally, he is the garrison of Beilanzong in Ziyang Xiancheng. There are twenty or thirty people stranded under him. An outer disciple of the Foundation Establishment Period in the Immortal City.

At this moment, he was letting it out to kill the spirit-swallowing mouse monster that had already rushed to the foot of the mountain.

From among those people, Xiao Lin also saw Meng Hu's figure, and besides more than 300 people who were maintaining the operation of the large formation protecting the city, the remaining hundreds of people were standing on the city wall, full of people. He looked at the monsters outside with a solemn face.

"It's over, it looks like we can't get out at all."

"I didn't expect to be so unlucky. I was planning to leave Ziyang Immortal City and go to Yuanwu Immortal City. I didn't expect to be delayed for a day because of a temporary incident, and I was trapped."

"I don't know how long this beast tide will last? Will the Beilan Sect send people to reinforce it?"

"Hey, once the beast tide breaks out, it will be endless. You must know that the area of ​​the demon field is vast and boundless. No one knows how big it is. There was a Yuanying ancestor who wanted to explore the edge of the demon field and took the risk himself, but It’s gone forever.”

"That's right, at least tens of thousands of years have passed since the first outbreak of the beast horde, and there are no fewer than ten Yuanying ancestors who have entered the Yaoyuan and have no news of it."

"Hey, I hope that there will be no emperor-level Dzogchen monsters in this beast tide. If there are such existences, no one will be able to fight against them unless some Supreme Elders from the Beilan Sect take action."

"I just hope that there will be no monsters above the emperor level before the elders of the Beilan Sect come to reinforce them."

"It depends on my luck. It is rumored that in the previous beast hordes, there were even monster-shaped monsters. Once the monster-shaped monsters appear, our Ziyang Immortal City may be breached in an instant."

Discussions from those casual cultivators came from around Xiao Lin. After hearing this, Xiao Lin's face became more and more gloomy. He is not a cultivator within the sphere of influence of the Beilan Sect, so he has no reason to work hard for the Beilan Sect.

So Xiao Lin has been thinking about the way to leave. The southeast of Ziyang Immortal City is facing fierce attacks from monsters. Perhaps only the northwest direction is the safe way to leave.

But if he wanted to leave Ziyang Immortal City, it was impossible to do so when the city protection formation was activated, and Xiao Lin noticed from time to time that although the old man in hemp robe did not encourage a large number of casual cultivators to attack monsters.

But the gloomy light in his eyes let Xiao Lin know that this person would definitely not turn on the aura of the city protection and let many rogue practitioners leave, and once the most critical moment came, these rogue practitioners would be regarded as If the old man in hemp robe doesn't speak, they will choose to make a move.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then gasped in horror, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

After thinking of this possibility, Xiao Lin flew towards the west of the city without looking back, and quickly returned to his house, then got into the tunnel he dug in the house, and entered the cave in the middle of the mountain. Inside the cave.

Xiao Lin first sat cross-legged in the cave, his face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water, he just thought of a terrible possibility.

The beast tide attack once every 300 years is definitely not as simple as it has just started to behave now. Even several times in the beast tide, the Beilan Sect was almost wiped out.

It is conceivable that the attack of this beast swarm is quite unusual, and once the beast swarm really erupts, Ziyang Immortal City probably won't be able to hold on for long, once the protective array is opened and the defenses are wide open.

Not only the thousands of Beilanzong disciples, but also hundreds of thousands of low-level casual cultivators in Ziyang Immortal City will be completely exposed to the monsters.

When this scene happened, the result can be imagined. In order to save their lives, many casual cultivators naturally had to fight against a large number of monsters. In this way, hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators would consume monsters for Beilanzong Strength.

No matter what the final outcome is, for Beilanzong, the worst result is nothing more than the loss of thousands of outer disciples in the Qi training period and dozens of disciples in the Foundation Establishment period. As for the old man in hemp robe, in Xiao Lin's view, once When it comes to crisis, there must be a way to escape.

In other words, the Beilan Sect may not have planned to send reinforcements from the beginning, but wanted to use the lives of many casual cultivators in Ziyang Immortal City to consume the first few waves of the beast tide.

As for the millions of ordinary mortals in Ziyang Immortal City, they are probably even more insignificant in the hearts of the people of Beilanzong.

Thinking of this made Xiao Lin break out in a cold sweat, and he also had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this cultivation world. Sure enough, in the eyes of the people of Beilanzong, many low-level casual cultivators and a large number of mortals are like ants. If you die, you die.

Before he died, he was able to resist a few waves of beasts for the Beilan Sect, and it was considered a well-deserved death.

After Xiao Lin pondered for a while, he stood up, took out the Ice Luan Sword, and dug towards the stone wall on one side. After an hour, Xiao Lin's Ice Luan Sword made a "clang~", as if it hit some kind of hard on things.

Xiao Lin walked over with a gloomy expression, looking at the stone wall in front of him, the stone wall here is no different from the one cut by his envoy Bingluan Sword before, but the stone wall in front of him would emit colorful aura from time to time, flashing passed away.

Xiao Lin's face was a bit ugly, it seems that this underground is also within the protection range of the protective formation of Ziyang Immortal City, it is undoubtedly a dream for him to break through the five-color aura of the protective formation.

Unless he can become the old monster of Nascent Soul, even if he immediately enters the golden core stage now, he will not be able to break through the five-color aura mask.

At this time, Xiao Lin calmed down instead, and he returned to the cultivation cave, sitting cross-legged on the futon, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a while, Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped the pouch on his waist, and dozens of spirit-eating fire Gu flew out from it, followed by Xiao Lin's hand and pointed slightly towards the cave he opened up.

Those dozens of spirit-eating fire Gu turned into a cloud of fire, flew towards the cave, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Lin sat cross-legged, but his spiritual consciousness closely followed the Soul Devouring Fire Gu and entered the cave.

In Xiao Lin's mind, this five-color aura shield is also formed by gathering spiritual power. Since the spirit-eating fire Gu has the ability to devour aura, if it can tear open a hole, let him pass through it.

Then he could leave Ziyang Immortal City. Once he left Ziyang Immortal City, Xiao Lin made up his mind to return to Dancao Mountain immediately, and he would not be able to retreat.

After all, he can't tell how long this beast tide will last. If the scope of the spread is further expanded, and even spread to most parts of the Southern Territory, the entire Southern Territory will be in chaos.

It doesn't matter if you come out to venture out when it's safe, but when it's chaotic, the best way is naturally to find a hidden place and retreat and cultivate quietly. This is the best choice to save your life.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Lin showed hesitation on his face, but soon a gleam of joy appeared on his face. It turned out that although the dozens of Soul Devouring Fire Gu could devour the spiritual light on the five-color shield, they had just Swallowing a small piece of spiritual light, the disappeared spiritual light immediately replenished.

After "seeing" this scene, Xiao Lin was filled with disappointment, but he suddenly thought that the number of Spirit-eating Fire Gu he had released was too small after all. circle, devouring the aura outward

In this circle, thousands of spirit devouring fire Gu will be released to gnaw away the aura of the shield. In this way, it is impossible for the light shield to recover immediately. You can take advantage of this short time to pass through the shield Covered with aura, he left Ziyang Immortal City.
