Journey to the head

Chapter 48 Surrounded
The white jade flying boat galloped in the air, carrying Lu Gan and the other two people straight to Yuqing Mountain.

Meihuafang City is a thousand miles away from Yuqing Mountain, and it would take five hours for the flying boat to fly at full speed.Jiang Qingfeng couldn't help but become a little anxious: "Junior brother, can we make it in time?"

Lu Gan nodded: "The foundation-building Taoist priests control the spiritual weapons and can escape extremely fast, covering eight hundred miles in one hour. Zhou Chao is taken flying by the two Taoist priests, so he will be able to get back in time. As long as Zhou Chao doesn't get crazy. , relying solely on the defense of Yuqing Mountain’s mountain guard, the Chaosheng Gate cannot be attacked.”

At this moment, it was Xuan Jizi who was controlling the flying boat. He turned around after hearing this and said, "Then by the time we arrive, maybe the Chaoshengmen will have withdrawn their troops?"

"It's not that fast. The Chaoshengmen attacked with all their strength. How can they retreat easily? It's most likely a stalemate." Lu Gan unfolded the map, and all the forces in Chongming County were marked by him with different numbers. Color, "There are dozens of qi-training sects in Chongming County, and they are basically vassals of the foundation-building sect. Before the decline of the Zhou family, they had been suppressing the Chaosheng sect. Therefore, the Zhou family had three qi-training sects, and the Chaosheng sect fell. There are only two.”

Jiang Qingfeng looked at the map carefully: "But Zhou Chao said that his three vassals are now semi-independent."

Lu Gan drew a circle around the three qi-training sects: "This kind of semi-independence must be instigated by the Chaosheng sect. Fortunately, these qi-training sects are too close to the Zhou family and too far away from the Chaosheng sect. Don’t dare to betray easily until the loss is divided. Otherwise, we may now have to face the Chaosheng Sect plus five vassals of the Qi Training Sect.”

Jiang Qingfeng asked: "Now that the Zhou family has found two foundation-building guest ministers, these three sects should join again."

Xuanjizi smiled: "That's natural. I've been around for so many years, and I've seen a lot of these small qi-training sects, and everyone has become accustomed to being a stranger. They are very good at following the wind."

Jiang Qingfeng smiled in her heart when she heard this.The current Yunshan Sect is probably worse than the average Qi training sect, but as long as the junior disciples are here, everything will be fine.

"It's just that Zhou Chao and his Taoist priests are in a hurry to return to the defense, and they can't take care of them for the time being. If we want them to join us, it will probably have to wait until after the war... wait..." Lu Gan's finger clicked on the position of the three vassals. , entered into contemplation.

Xuan Jizi and Jiang Qingfeng immediately stopped talking, and the spirit stones continued to be thrown into the spirit gathering array in the flying boat, allowing the white jade flying boat to maintain its peak speed.

In a blink of an eye, the sunlight slanted, and it was already late, and the flying boat entered the territory of Zhou Zhou's family on the map.In a green mountain range lying in the distance, there are several spiritual veins such as Yuqing Mountain, which gave birth to the Zhou family and several qi-training vassals.

After flying for a while, Xuanjizi suddenly slowed down, and the invisibility talisman flew out from his hand, adding a layer of hazy cover to the flying boat.

"It seems that we came at the right time." He put up the awning with his hands and looked forward, "My dear, the battle is not small."

Ten miles away, a mountain peak stood towering, and a huge blue defensive formation was fully revealed, protecting the mountain in the shape of a hexagonal prism.Dozens of rays of escaping light surrounded the mountain peaks and launched a fierce attack. Dots of firelight bloomed on the formation, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Is this the Liuhe formation inherited by the Zhou family?" Lu Qian asked, "It seems to have good defense. It will be unbreakable for a while."

"That's right." Xuanjizi watched with fascination and shouted, "That Heitantou owes us a lot. The secret book of the Liuhe formation and the first-level high-level spiritual veins. He can't be in trouble, otherwise we All the benefits are gone."

Getting closer, Jiang Qingfeng raised her dark eyebrows and whispered: "Junior brother, look, it's an aerial ship!"

In the light surrounding Yuqing Mountain, two large ships stood out from the crowd, with sails hanging high and flags flying. Every few breaths, spiritual beams of different colors radiated from the ships, bombarding the ships below. above the formation.Lu Qian naturally recognized it. It turned out that there were three ten-foot-long floating ships in the Yunshan Sect.Unfortunately, it was suddenly attacked and the battleship was captured by the enemy before it could take off.

Aerial ships are the collective name for monk warships, which are mainly used in the warfare of low-level monks.An aerial ship usually carries dozens of Qi Practitioners. When approaching the enemy, dozens of people attack together, and spiritual light cannons are used for long-range attacks.

This kind of warship looks majestic, but it can only bully Qi training monks.Once a monk reaches the foundation level, he can directly control the spiritual weapon to escape light and fly, and the escape speed is several times higher than when practicing Qi.Aerial ships fly slowly, and unless several ships bombard them at once, it is extremely difficult to hit a foundation-building Taoist priest.

Not to mention that the monks have been promoted to the golden elixir, their magic weapons are mysterious, and their magical powers are amazing. The floating ship is just a big toy in front of them.

To put it bluntly, as the cultivation level increases, the individual combat power of the monks exponentially increases, and the collective combat power of aerospace ships is quickly eliminated.

However, for Qi-training monks who must rely on flying magic weapons to even fly, the aeroplane is definitely the overlord of the air.Flying magic weapons with weak defenses can easily be destroyed by spiritual cannons. Even if they barely get close, which Qi-training monk can withstand the warm greetings of dozens of people of the same level?

Therefore, although the aerospace ship is expensive to build and the spiritual cannon powered by spiritual stones is very expensive, it still firmly occupies a place in small-scale sect wars.In addition, some foundation-building Taoist priests and golden elixir masters will also use aeroplanes as guards of honor and vehicles for travel, which seems to be much more pompous than light-escape flight.

At this moment, the foundation-building Taoist priests on both sides were on guard against each other, and neither took action. The only thing that could resist the aerial ship was the aerial ship.But Yuqingshan was quiet, no warships took off, they just showed an appearance of fighting to the end.

Could it be that the Zhou family even sold the aeroplane in order to treat Zhou Bing's injuries?

The white jade flying boat got closer, and even the flag pattern on the floating ship could be seen clearly.Several escaping lights were wandering near the battlefield. They should be monks serving as scouts. If they moved forward, there was a risk of being discovered.

Lu Gan and the other three stopped.Now two aerospace ships were hanging on the mountain-protecting formation and bombing indiscriminately. Dozens of escaping lights carried more than a hundred monks scattered in all directions, surrounding Yuqing Mountain.

"Boy Lu, how are we going to get in now?" Xuanjizi stroked his goatee, "Don't count on me. My set of jade seal formation bases are still being recast in Fang City, and now this set of command flags will count. Even if we set up a defensive formation, we can't withstand the bombardment of dozens of cannons from aerial ships."

Lu Gan carefully identified the sect flags on the floating ship and determined that there were only Chaosheng Sect and its two vassal Qi training sects - Qingli Mountain and Liuhua Valley, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out the map again, glanced at it a few times, and said with a smile: "If I can't get in, I won't go in."

"Then where are we going?" Jiang Qingfeng asked curiously, knowing that Lu Qian must have a plan in mind.

Lu Gan clicked on the map and said, "Let's help Zhou Chao do what they can't do in time and mobilize this extraordinary force."
