Journey to the head

The second layer of calamity clouds had no power to dissipate, and the third layer was about to fall down with a vibration.

Lu Qian had already injected a little spiritual light into the jade slip and whispered, "Quickly deliver this message to the Spirit Beast Sect and Xuanwei Sect. Yuanying from other states are about to invade our Mianlong Mountain. Please support us."

He then said to Dong Chengjun: "I already know the cause and effect. The prefectures have their own laws, and it is impossible for Qiming Lingjun to abuse his power in Cangzhou. Zhenren should move to rest and recuperate first, and relax."

Dong Chengjun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Then I'll leave everything to you, Master Lu. For your help, our Danxia Sect will definitely repay you generously. In addition, Qiming Lingjun may come to us soon, so Master Lu, please be careful. If you can get external help, please ask them to come as soon as possible."

He glanced at Wu Yan who was preparing to face the third level of thunder tribulation in the air, and once again admired her great fortune. After two levels of thunder tribulation, Wu Yan only lost a lot of spiritual power, but after all, she was not injured. She had a good chance of winning the third level of thunder tribulation.

Lu Qian ordered his disciples to take him to the sanatorium to rest for a while, and continued to give orders: "Inform all partners and subordinate sects. The Zhou family will select two foundation-building warriors, the Linglu Sect will select one foundation-building warrior, the Xianyou Sect will select one foundation-building warrior, the Shouzhuo Sect will select one foundation-building warrior, and there are two foundation-building warriors from Erqimen and Huanmeng Temple. Go to Mianlong Mountain immediately and wait for orders."

"Brother Wang, after these foundation-building masters arrive, you will lead Xiao Tianci, Ding Shu, Zheng Duan, Xu Yingcai, Hao Qiuguang, Jiang Baitao, Su Yan, Li Da, Wang Ruoyu, and Shen Jialuo, a total of 18 foundation-building masters, ready to use the Immortal Dragon Slaying Diagram at any time."

"Senior Sister, you will take charge of the defense of Mianlong Mountain. In addition, gather thirty inner sect teams and be ready to respond with the Vast Sea Star Formation at any time."

"Immediately transfer Tao Zhongxian back from Lingsha City and have him debug it again to ensure that the first-generation machine can be operated at any time."

The thunder in the sky was getting more and more urgent, and Lu Qian's speech speed was getting faster and faster. Thinking of the strange Yuanying who was about to come, everyone present felt heavy in their hearts, and their attention on Wu Yan was distracted a lot.

After arranging the defenses in one breath, Lu Qian turned his gaze back to the sky, but his mind was full of thoughts.

According to Dong Chengjun, the Danxia sect had lost the battle, and some of the disciples were dispersed, while others retreated to the Liuxia Mountains. The Liuxia Mountains were surrounded, and those disciples who had temporarily dispersed had no way to return, which made defense even more difficult.

Moreover, both Sapindus mukorossi and Akabane Masamune suffered serious injuries.

But the situation should have remained stalemate. The Danxia sect had developed for 800 years and occupied two and a half counties. It was a small tyrant with very strong strength.

In terms of their own strength, once they gather the garrisons scattered in the two counties, they will become a strong army. With the support of both inside and outside, they should be able to make a breakthrough.

As for external support, although they have old enemies, they also have many friends and allies, as well as friendly Nascent Soul Sects. They will definitely be able to get support and break the deadlock.

Although the company has suffered considerable damage from this failure, its structure remains intact and it will recover in eight to ten years.

I just don’t know when Soapberry will be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and whether this battle will have an impact on his plan to overcome the tribulation.

I have sent a request for help to the Lingshou Sect and the Xuanwei Sect. Will they come to support us?

Before Wu Yan underwent the tribulation, Lu Qian still had an 80% chance of success, but after her spiritual roots were exposed, it would be hard to say.

Yunshan Sect is an independent sect. Although the Spirit Beast Sect thinks highly of them and is friendly to them, they have no obligation to rescue them. Xuanwei Sect is the leader of this state. Logically, if a Yuanying from another state breaks in, they must stop him and ask him clearly, but they cannot rule out other situations.

Also, even if they decide to come to our aid, the journey is too long, so can they make it in time?
A huge explosion interrupted Lu Qian's rapid thinking. The third level of calamity clouds completely gathered, lightning raged, thunder twisted, and the purple lightning in the thick dark clouds gathered inward.

There was a loud buzzing sound!
A huge thunder axe that was a hundred feet in length emerged from the dark clouds and pressed down inch by inch.

The aura of all-destruction spread out, and the disciples below couldn't help but shudder.

The big axe was formed entirely of bluish-purple lightning, wrapped with dense arcs and lightning. It was very slow at first, and then it became faster and faster. With a sharp whistling sound, it chopped down Wu Yan's head!

The strong sense of oppression made Wu Yan sweat a little. She knew that success or failure depended on this move, so she raised her head and took the Red Heart Pill to stimulate her potential and suppress her injuries. This medicine has great side effects, but now as long as she can survive the heavenly tribulation, the injuries will naturally recover when the golden pill is formed.

The medicinal power surged, the spiritual pressure rose, the lightning-proof and scattered lightning bell shone with brilliance, and the fine runes flew out of the bell body, forming a brilliant light outside the bell. The original sixteen clear torrents covering the space ripples suddenly turned into thirty-two, flying around the outside of the bell body, spinning at high speed.

With a loud bang!
The purple thunder axe chopped heavily on the lightning-proof and scattered thunder bell. The lightning and runes in the sky collapsed and a brilliant halo suddenly expanded and swept across the sky.

The thirty-two rapids danced into a phantom, and the heavenly thunder dispersed from the Purple Thunder Axe spread out in all directions like a fan. For a moment, the sky above the Mianlong Mountain was filled with lightning.

Everyone was dazzled by what was happening, but Lu Qian was very clear in his mind that compared to Gu Nishang's head-on, fierce and fierce attack against the heavenly calamity, Wu Yan used softness to overcome hardness, dissipating and directing the force, and dispelling the violent and ferocious thunder with the magical method of the empty spirit root.

The Purple Thunder Axe was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, but just as everyone felt relieved, they heard a snap and a long crack appeared on the Lightning-Proofing Bell!

Then there was a sharp sound of shattering, and the runes on the Lightning-Proofing Bell emitted the last ray of light, exploded with a bang, and exploded into a sky full of streams of light!
The thunder axe continued to strike down, and Wu Yan stretched out her hand and waved, and the thirty-two rapids condensed again, wrapping around it like a giant python, but after hearing a loud rumbling sound, after diverting a part of the lightning, they were dispersed by the thunder into water splashes all over the sky.

The remaining purple thunder axe, which was the size of a person, chopped towards Wu Yan's head with irresistible momentum!

At this moment, Yuanpin Pearl Spirit was about to take off. Lin Le screamed and many people closed their eyes nervously.

Wu Yan raised her sword finger and slashed forward, a faint light flashed in her clear eyes. In her dantian, the spiritual flower shook wildly, and in her sea of ​​consciousness, all kinds of enlightenment surged into her heart, and mysterious fluctuations flashed in the air.

Just as Lei Yue was about to approach, spatial ripples suddenly appeared in the extremely thin gap between the thunder and Wu Yan. For a moment, Lei Yue was clearly only a millimeter away from Wu Yan, but it seemed as if there was a mountain and sea between them, and he could not be reached.

The next moment, the space twisted slightly, as if an invisible giant hand gently wiped away most of the Thunder Axe!

Of course Lu Qian knew what this was.

This is Wu Yan’s ultimate move, a pseudo-magical power derived in advance from the Dao Mengdie Heavenly Book!
The pseudo-magical power flashed by, and Wu Yan was finally exhausted. She only had time to summon the last stream of water to protect her body. The only remaining lightning hit her body with a bang, knocking her down from the sky.

The disciples of Yunshan kept exclaiming, and Lin Le rushed towards the figure, but Lu Qian felt relieved and smiled.

An elusive, illusory, yet mighty and powerful spiritual pressure rose up and spread in all directions!
The spiritual vein of Mianlong Mountain shook violently, and a surge of spiritual energy surged like a gusher, drawn toward the sky and injected into the falling figure.

In the huge vortex of spiritual energy, Wu Yan stopped falling and slowly rose up.

The spiritual energy disappeared, the light scattered, and the Fairy Jiaojiao stood quietly in the air without any external help. She seemed to be shrouded in a layer of hazy light, and she was even more fairy-like and charming than before.

The disciples of Yunshan stared at the figure in a daze. Suddenly, cheers rang out, and then became one, like a sea tide.

Wu Yan, overcame the golden elixir tribulation and achieved the golden elixir realm!

My Yunshan Sect has added another Jindan Zhenren!
The spies around Mianlong Mountain were also busy passing this information layer by layer. The news that Wu Yan of the Yunshan School had obtained the golden elixir would soon spread in Cangzhou.

After a few breaths, Wu Yan opened her eyes, and her golden elixir consciousness swept over. She flashed and flew in front of Lu Qian, kneeling down with gratitude on her face.

"Master, I have accomplished my mission and have achieved the Golden Core realm."

"I was a poor girl in the market town in the past, but now I have achieved the Golden Elixir. It was all thanks to my master who saved me from the sea of ​​suffering, led me into the Dao, taught me day and night, and cultivated me with care. The love of rebirth and the grace of rebirth are the greatest!"

With tears in her eyes, she kowtowed heavily.

Lu Qian helped her up, and his heart was filled with warmth, his eyes slightly wet. He was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he slowly said: "I am very pleased that you have such a grateful heart. In the future, you must also be brave and diligent and climb up. The future of Yunshan Sect will eventually depend on you."

The elders of Yunshan came forward one after another, full of joy and sincere congratulations, and Wu Yan also thanked them one by one. The disciples also rushed forward, expressing their envy and admiration. When Wu Yan turned around, she saw Lin Le standing at the foot of the mountain, outside the crowd, quietly looking over here.

Wu Yan was at the top of the mountain, and Lin Le was standing at the steps. They looked at each other, and time seemed to stand still.

"Xiaoyan." Lu Qian suddenly spoke. Wu Yan was startled and came to her senses. Lin Le had already left.

"Master, please give me your instructions."

Lu Qian suppressed his joy and became serious: "Originally, your achievement of the Golden Elixir was a great joyous event. We were going to invite fellow Taoists, hold a banquet to celebrate, and choose a Taoist name for you. But now things have changed. You didn't know that you were going through the tribulation just now."

At the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect, in the main hall, Yuanxu Lingjun sat high on the main seat, and six Jindan Zhenren sat below, talking in a flurry.

The topic of discussion was naturally Lu Qian's message. The matter was of great importance, and Lu Qian was worried about being held accountable afterwards, so he did not dare to hide it, and even explained Gu Nishang's special identity.

What Lu Qian didn't know was that in addition to his message, there was also a note sent jointly by Ningzhou Xingyuan Palace and Lanshan Island, informing them that Lanshan Island's Qiming Lingjun had entered Cangzhou to hunt down the wanted criminals Gu Nishang and Dong Chengjun, and asking fellow Cangzhou people to cooperate.

At this time, the latest information arrived, and Yuanxu Lingjun frowned: "Wu Yan of Yunshan Sect has successfully survived the heavenly tribulation and obtained the golden elixir."

A Jindan Zhenren below recalled that he had once been driven to the point of ecstasy by the Seventh Lightning Tribulation, and snorted coldly, "This is also to be expected. With a natural spiritual root favored by the heavens, who can't survive the Threeth Lightning Tribulation?"

Another Jindan said sourly: "The spiritual roots will definitely enter the Jindan stage, and there is an 80% chance that they can enter the Yuanying stage, right? The cultivation is so fast, from now on when you first enter the Jindan stage, it will take 90 years to complete the Jindan stage, and there is still plenty of time to prepare to overcome the inner demon tribulation."

"Besides, his cultivation is smooth and he has great luck. His teacher regards him as a treasure. How can such a person have any inner demons?"

Yuanxu Lingjun coughed and brought the topic back: "Okay, now let's discuss whether to support Yunshan Sect as requested by Lu Qian."

The first Jindan to speak said, "I think it's better to ignore it. First, Xingyuan Palace and Lanshan Island have sent us a note, so we might as well give them some face. Second, we didn't know Wu Yan had a natural spiritual root before, so we wanted to help Yunshan. But if Wu Yan grows up smoothly in the future, Yunshan Sect will also become our competitor. Why should we help a future competitor?"

Another Jindan said, "The two families' letters are just their personal requests, not an official announcement from Ningzhou. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. I think we can take control of Yunshan Sect. They are quite arrogant and don't want to become our subordinates. We might as well take this opportunity to warn them. If Lu Qian agrees to be our vassal, we can save him."

Yuanxu Lingjun looked calm and asked the first person on the left, "Youde, what do you think?"

It was the leader of the Spirit Beast Sect, True Man Youde.

He did not dare to neglect it and said respectfully: "Uncle Master, I think I should help you."

He looked around the field and said, "We in the Spirit Beast Sect are good at doing business. Isn't this the best investment?"

"Our original intention was to support the Yunshan Sect to guard the northwest, cut off Qingzhou, and serve as a northern barrier for our Spirit Beast Sect. Now that Wu Yan has development potential, isn't that better?"

"Before, our sect has shown a friendly and supportive attitude towards Yunshan Sect. If we change our attitude immediately, we will be ridiculed as being intolerant, which will be disadvantageous for employing people in the future."

"As for competition, if you think about it from another angle, how can it not be cooperation? The contradiction between my sect and the Sikong family and the Qinglian Zhenzong is getting deeper and deeper. If we can tie the Yunshan sect to our chariot and fight the enemy together, and completely wipe out one of them in the future, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"If the Yunshan Sect grows up and becomes my support, when my uncle-master makes further progress in the future, he will have an extra helper."

"As for Ningzhou Xingyuan Palace and Lanshan Island, we have no friendship with them, so we don't need to take this private note to heart. If saving Gu Nishang would offend them, then we would also make friends with the Yuanying Sect behind the Danxia Sect, right? Besides, my Lingshou Sect has been here for two thousand years. Whoever we want to save or whoever we want to pull in, no one from other states needs to interfere."

"It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to help in times of need. If I can help you this time, I will surely be grateful to you."

Yuanxu Lingjun nodded slightly and asked again: "Xichan, what do you think?"

Taoist Xichan, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up, jumped up and said, "Ah, Lu Qian is a filial boy--"

"Alright, alright." Yuanxu Lingjun waved his hands helplessly, "You keep saying this over and over again."

"Brother Xichan, what you said is correct." Master Youde said with a smile, "Everyone has seen the history of the development of Yunshan Sect. Looking back at what Lu Qian has done over the past few decades, we can see what kind of person he is. He can be regarded as a sincere gentleman. As an ally, he is still reliable."

The hall fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Lingjun's decision.

Yuanxu Lingjun slowly stood up and said, "In this case, I will help him."

A moment later, the Spirit Beast Sect's mountain gate formation opened, and Lingjun's escape light broke through the air and flew towards Mianlong Mountain.

But just after walking a hundred miles, Yuanxu Lingjun stopped and looked at the person blocking his way. His tone became heavy: "Sikong Sheng."

Triumphant Spirit Lord Sikong Sheng looked at him coldly: "How about asking Brother Yuanxu to stay?"

At the Xuanwei Sect's mountain gate, the debate over whether to take action to stop Qiming Lingjun continued.

A Yuanying said: "No matter what, Yunshan Sect is our Cangzhou Sect. Now that the Spirit Lord from another state has come to attack us, how can we, as the leader of Cangzhou, sit back and watch?"

Another Yuanying shook his head: "But this is an internal dispute of Ningzhou. Look, the two Yuanying forces in Ningzhou, Xingyuan Palace and Lanshan Island, have sent us a message. It's just that Gu Nishang hid in Mianlong Mountain, which attracted Qiming Lingjun to come. Think about it, if we are chasing a serious criminal in the state and he hides in another state, will we stop moving forward?"

"In the end, it's still Yunshan Sect's own fault for employing the wrong people. Gu Nishang's identity is ambiguous. She is both a Danxia disciple and a Yunshan elder." Another Yuanying snorted, "But after all, her Danxia identity comes first. If Qiming Lingjun only wants Gu Nishang, it would be better for Yunshan Sect to hand her over, so as not to hurt the harmony between the two states."

Miaomiao Xuanjun closed his eyes and was thinking about something when suddenly a disciple came up to report.

"Mr. Xuan, the envoys from the Sikong family and the Qinglian True Sect have arrived together."

On Mianlong Mountain, it should have been a day of great joy, but now it was filled with solemnity. Everyone had already followed Lu Qian's instructions and were ready to deal with the powerful enemy.

Lu Qian was sitting beside Gu Nishang's bed, talking to her who had just woken up.

Lin Le suddenly came in a hurry and reported: "Master, the sentry point has detected the escape light of a strange Yuanying, and it is still a thousand miles away from Mianlong Mountain!"

It’s Lord Qiming Lingjun who is coming!

Gu Nishang struggled to get up, but was held down by Lu Qian.

She became anxious: "You haven't even survived the Heavenly Tribulation, how can you possibly face the Nascent Soul?"

Just as Lu Qian was about to speak, there was a flash of lightning on his forehead.

There was a slight look of surprise on his face, but he took a deep breath, regained his composure, stood up, and smiled at Gu Nishang.

"Isn't this the time to cross the calamity?"

With a loud rumble, thunder crashed down from the sky! (End of this chapter)
