After the world collapsed

Chapter 138
When Xiao Yicai came to his senses, he immediately asked his colleagues around him what had happened, and when he learned that the guardian array could not be opened, he knew that the matter was not that simple.

Xiaoyaozong's protective array is called Zhenyan Seven Tribulations Array. It is a large array formed by the second-generation old suzerain with seven mountain peaks as the base point a hundred years ago. The core of the control array is an old temple on the mountainside of Tianjie Peak. middle.

Once the Zhenyan Seven Tribulation Formation is launched, it can instantly affect the entire range of Xiaoyaozong, and if there are only three or more foundation-building monks to control it, it can be said that it is effortless to deal with these foundation-building monks.

It wasn't until Xiao Yicai rushed to the mechanism of the mountain guard formation that he realized that someone had already set up heavy sword formations around the perimeter, and at this time several fellow disciples were struggling to decipher these sword formations.

The enemy's preparations in advance are obviously sufficient, even here they have tampered with in advance.

To be able to set up so many sword formations here quietly is to delay Xiaoyaozong's opening of the mountain guarding formation, and it may take several hours for these sword formations to be dismantled one by one.

Xiao Yicai frowned slightly, it was obvious that there was a traitor in the sect, and thinking about the attack on Cong Lingshan before, he felt that he could not delay any longer.

"Where is Song Shenzong?" Xiao Yicai frowned and asked his junior brother.

"The acting suzerain took people to Qingqiu Mountain two days ago." The younger brother replied immediately.

Qingqiu Mountain?Could it be that……

Only then did the junior remember that Senior Brother Xiao didn't seem to know about the sect's general election, so he quickly explained it.

Xiao Yicai nodded after hearing this, and then asked: "Before leaving, did you say to whom the sect's affairs will be temporarily handed over to?"

"Yes, hand it over to Senior Brother Song Zhi of Tianjie Peak."

"Where are the others?"

"This……"

Obviously, he didn't know where Song Zhi was at this time.

"Stay here and help them destroy these sword formations. I'll go to the peaks to see the situation." Xiao Yicai immediately left for other peaks after speaking.

After patrolling around, it was found that the situation of each peak was okay. After the enemy's main force in Tongtian Peak was slaughtered by the sword intent, the rest of the branches attacking the peaks quickly retreated.

Don't chase after poor bandits, and it's not certain whether there is an ambush behind the opponent, so the monks of Xiaoyao Sect just followed to the mountain gate.

The Shouzong disciples outside the Xiaoyao Sect's mountain gate had been killed for a long time, which also led to the fact that those monks had already entered the mountain gate square and crossed the double bridge before being discovered by the outer disciples.

But by then it was too late.

At this time, many Xiaoyaozong monks gathered in the Shanmen Square, and many of them were injured to varying degrees.

After Xiao Yicai arrived, these people immediately surrounded him.

"Senior brother Xiao! Did you come out of the sword mound?" Cong Lingshan saw him immediately, and immediately rushed over to ask in surprise.

Originally, she had planned to go to Tongtian Peak with the disciples of Moon Moon Peak to welcome Senior Brother Xiao's return, and she firmly believed that Xiao Yi would not fall into the sword mound.

Unexpectedly, such a thing happened before they went down the mountain, and they forgot about Jianzhong when they started fighting.

Xiao Yicai saw that Cong Lingshan was in good condition, and her cultivation had obviously improved, which showed that Song Shenzong's Shattering Pill had worked, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. If something really happened to Cong Lingshan, he really didn't know how to confess to Jiang Tianshi .

It's too late to greet everyone, there are still many corpses from the same sect in the phantom formation outside the mountain gate that they need to take back.

The disciples who are eligible to guard outside the mountain gate must be above the Foundation Establishment Stage. No matter how many people are on the opposite side, it is impossible to quickly approach them in a short time and succeed.

This means that they may not have died at the hands of the enemy, but by someone they knew, otherwise they would not have died quietly without warning.

Xiao Yicai took a look at Chen Coffin, and found that the elder brother was in good condition, but his breath was a little unstable, which should be due to the use of the spell in the battle just now.

So he said to many fellow disciples around him: "Okay, you guys go to deal with and count the casualties of the disciples in the sect, especially the disciples of the outer sect. You must be detailed. Before the acting suzerain comes back, I will personally sit in the mountain gate. Senior brother, you and I'll go with you."

Xiao Yicai called senior brother Chen Coffin to sit outside the mountain gate with him.

Seeing this, Cong Lingshan hurriedly said, "I want to be with you too."

"Go and search for all the places in the sect where magic circles can be arranged, so as to prevent the enemy from leaving behind such as teleportation circles."

"Ah? Teleportation circle?" Huang Shaofei in the crowd was a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Junior brother Huang, take someone to count the casualties of the outer sect disciples, and search it by the way." Xiao Yicai immediately said to Huang Shaofei. He knew that this junior had just been a mountain patrol envoy in the sect before, and this task was entrusted to him. It couldn't be more appropriate.

Huang Shaofei responded, but he didn't think any of those black-robed monks could set up a teleportation circle.

Because the conditions for arranging the teleportation circle are relatively harsh, we have to start with the magic circle.

Magic circles were more popular in ancient times, but in recent years there has been a tendency of decline. Immortal cultivators have become more concerned with their own improvement, and have gradually abandoned the method of relying on external forces like magic circles.

Moreover, the way of the magic circle is too profound, and fewer and fewer people spend a lot of energy on it.

Of course, there is another most important reason, and that is the appearance of the spirit plate.

The spiritual plate is a product of psionic technology, it can help a monk who is not proficient in this way to arrange the corresponding magic circle.

In general, the prototype of the magic circle is arranged in the spirit plate. Just place the spirit plate at the destination and inject the elemental force to generate the magic circle in the spirit plate in advance.

Compared with the traditional method of arranging the magic circle, the Lingpan can generate the magic circle immediately, and even have an unexpected effect.

There are advantages and disadvantages. If the magic circle arranged in advance in the spirit plate is released through the spirit plate, the power will naturally not be as strong as the magic circle arranged on the spot.Moreover, the cost of the spirit plate is quite high, not to mention the value of the magic circle contained in it, the larger the magic circle, the rarer the material of the spirit plate used to carry its foundation.

For example, an ordinary four-element array might be able to fit in a wooden spirit plate, but it is just a dream to use this wooden spirit plate to hold the Zhenyan Seven Tribulations Formation.

It is even more difficult to quickly arrange such a large magic circle through the spirit plate.

Therefore, most spirit disks can only carry some relatively ordinary small magic circles, but this is enough for most immortal cultivators.

The teleportation circle is a special existence in the way of the magic circle. Its scale can be large or small, but no matter how big or small it is, it is extremely difficult to arrange.

First of all, the runes of the teleportation array are extremely complicated. To successfully arrange it, it requires a lot of energy from the people who set up the array to support the completion. Without the blessing of cultivation above the alchemy level, the energy is not enough at all.

And because of its special function, this magic circle needs to have energy stored in it.

Energy naturally refers to vitality.Some teleportation circles will automatically absorb the vitality of the surrounding space, while others require the user to actively add vitality when the magic circle is activated.

This is why the general election of Xiaoyaozong is held every five years, because the huge teleportation circle at the mountain gate needs a long time to slowly replenish and absorb the surrounding energy.

If you want to use this huge teleportation circle at any time, you need to consume a lot of primordial stones when you use it. No one has figured out how much, but it must be an amount that even a big cultivator like Xiaoyaozong can't afford. .

All in all, although Huang Shaofei didn't believe that the enemy might leave behind a teleportation circle, he still went to patrol the mountain according to Xiao Yicai's wishes.

Xiao Yicai assigned tasks to many fellow disciples, and he tried his best to think about all the aspects he could think of. He was even thinking about what he would do if Song Shenzong was here at the moment.

It's just that the acting suzerain took people to Qingqiu Mountain, thinking that the situation there would not be much better than in the sect.

Everything can only be said after they come back.

Walking out of the mountain gate, the phantom formation has already been destroyed by the enemy. The two attics are lined up on the left and right, not far apart. Only by passing through these two attics can one avoid being trapped by the surrounding phantom formation.

Xiao Yicai led a few people into an attic, saw the tragic death of a few fellow disciples inside, then led people to wrap them up personally, and carried them all to the mountain gate square.

As for the corpses of the enemy monks, they were counted and incinerated on the spot to prevent any fish that slipped through the net.

When more than a dozen disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect who were in charge of counting the corpses came to Tongtian Peak, they were dumbfounded when they saw the fragments of limbs, and some even vomited them out on the spot.

Biefeng managed to capture a few alive and imprisoned them, but there was no complete body found on Tongtian Peak.

They couldn't help asking each other: "Is this all done by Senior Brother Xiao?"

"I heard from those Tongtianfeng senior brothers that this is indeed the case."

"It's said that the killing move flew out of Qingfeng Hall before Senior Brother Xiao arrived, and before he even had time to see clearly what method it was, these people were already dead."

"Could it be that Senior Brother Xiao has broken through to the Alchemy Realm?"

"How is that possible? Brother Xiao was only in the middle stage of foundation establishment before he entered the Sword Tomb. I think he has broken through to the late stage now, so I don't know for sure."

Xiao Yicai naturally didn't know that what happened on Tongtian Peak had spread throughout the Xiaoyao Sect in just one afternoon.

The disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect who had been sluggish for a while suddenly cheered up a little.

At least they have something to rely on if someone comes to attack them again.

At night, Xiao Yicai closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the second floor of the attic outside the mountain gate, while Chen's coffin was in another attic.

Suddenly, there was the sound of rushing upstairs behind him.

A Heavenly Tribulation Peak disciple hurried up to the second floor, and said in an extremely sad tone: "Senior Brother Xiao, we have found Senior Brother Song Zhi."
