Journey to the head

The enemy will arrive at any time, there can be no delay!

Wu Yan's eyes narrowed and her dantian vibrated.

At this time, the moon was rising and its light was gradually increasing. Only then was there a loud shout from Master Qiu Ming, who was tied up in the water whip and struggling to support himself. The originally dim moonlight suddenly became bright and dazzling, like mercury pouring on the ground, and silver gauze appeared in the area of ​​a hundred feet!

The senior brothers will be here soon and will not let you escape!

Master Qiu Ming activated his spiritual power, and the thick moonlight that filled the surroundings vibrated and surged like waves.

Mystical power: Xuanque Chan Palace!
The moonlight rolled, and in an instant a palace shining with bright light condensed in the air!

The heavy palace gate is carved with fairies and osmanthus trees, the palace walls are painted with jade rabbits and medicine pestles, and neat and sturdy pillars are wrapped around black phoenixes, supporting the carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets. The roof of the palace overlaps three layers and is covered with dazzling glazed tiles, and the eaves are decorated with palace lanterns with flashing runes.

The mysterious Moon Palace sealed Wu Yan and Jiang Baitao tightly inside!
At this moment, the seventy-two water whips that had been tightly locking around Master Qiu Ming's body and continuously increasing their strength immediately weakened and were about to dissipate.

Feeling the force on his body suddenly lighten, Master Qiu Ming sneered.

My Moon Palace is both a lock and a defense. I seal you inside, blocking the flow of spiritual energy. You can't use any of your secret techniques through the Moon Palace. You have to break my Moon Palace.

But breaking my extremely tough Xuanque Chan Palace is easier said than done!

Just stay there honestly!
But in the next moment, Wu Yan, who was locked in the Moon Palace, showed no fear at all. She folded her hands, with her knuckles facing each other, and pressed hard in the direction of Master Qiu Ming!
The golden elixir shone brightly, and mysterious fluctuations came into being.

The smile on Master Qiu Ming’s face froze.

An elusive light flashed slightly, and a ripple instantly spread in the air, actually directly penetrating the Xuanque Chan Palace, and then penetrating the defensive magic weapon of Master Qiu Ming, like hitting a bull from behind a mountain, and directly imprinted on his body!
Master Qiu Ming let out a scream, and his body shook violently, like a scene in steaming water vapor on a scorching summer day, hazily twisting and shaking.

This spatial fluctuation actually penetrated all defenses!

No, no, this power—

Spatial fluctuations came from all directions, wrapping him tightly. Unpredictable and irresistible powerful forces began to tear and squeeze him. Master Qiu Ming let out a howl from his throat. His joints were dislocated, his bones were broken, his muscles were torn, and his blood vessels burst.

Magical power: space strangulation!

This is a mysterious magical power that is sure to hit the mark. It can overcome obstacles, penetrate gaps, and directly distort and collapse the entire space, annihilating and destroying everything in it!
In the past, Lord Qiming Ling used his innate magical power, his indestructible golden body, to withstand the strangulation of space, but now, True Man Qiu Ming certainly does not have this ability.

"Junior Brother!" A loud shout came from a distance, and the enemy's golden elixir finally arrived.

But it was too late. With the last shock and the pulling of space, the word "save" from Master Qiu Ming was stuck in his throat, and a cloud of blood mist burst out.

Why is this happening? I clearly still have many secret techniques that I haven’t used yet, and I still have a bright future ahead of me—

With a muffled "puff" sound, only a mass of flesh, blood, and bones was left in the air. A sparse rain of blood poured down, and the magnificent and heavy Xuanque Toad Palace collapsed at the same time.

Master Qiu Ming was killed by Wu Yan!
"Damn it!"

A moon blade flashed in the air and pierced through Wu Yan's body at lightning speed.

Before Jiang Baitao could even utter a scream, Wu Yan suddenly appeared on the other side, pulling her away and trying to fly away.

At the same time, the body that was pierced by the moon blade dispersed into a cloud.

Bai Tao widened her eyes. This was Yunshan’s secret teaching: Wind Shadow and Cloud Body!

Lu Qian had also taught her this secret technique, but she had always found it difficult to get started. It turned out that Wu Yan had already learned it!

But just when the two of them flew a few feet, Wu Yan's face changed and she stopped. In front of her, there was a crackling sound of cold air, and a huge ice wall condensed in the air and then exploded with a loud bang.

A sky full of black frost and hail came down on her head. Wu Yan had to hold up the water shield again to take the frost and hail. At the same time, her body froze and she was caught up by the oncoming people.

A man and a woman, one in front and one behind, trapped Wu Yan and Jiang Baitao.

The man was also very handsome, but now his face was full of anger and distorted. This was the Palace Master of Lanyue Palace, Master Ningqiong.

The female cultivator was tall, hot, and beautiful. When Wu Yan saw her, the memories of the city that never sleeps came back to her mind.

"It's you!" Wu Yan's face was solemn, and she called out the other party's identity in a deep voice, "The Mi family cultivator from the Xianyun Islands, Mi Mengyin!"

Mi Mengyin raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had no recollection of meeting Wu Yan before. But it didn't matter. Just capture her.

A black ice spike in Mi Mengyin's hand flashed with a faint light. There was a heavy snowstorm in the air, and the spiritual pressure from the perfect golden elixir made it difficult to breathe.

"Don't be afraid, Yunshan Sect's head disciple, I will spare your life."

Half an hour after Wu Yan left, Yueli Mountain welcomed a new guest.

"Excuse me." Several foundation-building feathered monks stood in front of the mountain protection formation, followed by a group of Qi training monks. "We are monks from the Lanyue Palace. The palace master just ordered that we invite your sect's Jindan Zhenren to the banquet, but it is too rude to leave the others on Yueli Mountain."

"So you sent us to bring you fine wine and delicacies, magical flowers and fruits, and various gifts. You will set up a banquet on Yueli Mountain to entertain all of you fellow Taoists and have fun together."

As they spoke, they made way, revealing boxes and trays of varying sizes, filled with all kinds of fine wines, dishes, fruits and snacks, as well as many jeweled gifts that were very appealing.

After verifying that he was indeed a cultivator from Lanyue Palace, the Yunshan disciples on duty in the formation also became enthusiastic and immediately reported to the current defense chief, Cui Linglong.

Cui Linglong arrived at the front of the formation and met the leader of the foundation-building group of Lan Yue Palace. Both of them laughed. It turned out that they had met each other at a banquet not long ago and were considered acquaintances.

As a result, the monks from Lanyue Palace became more enthusiastic. Cui Linglong was delighted by the enthusiasm of Lanyue Palace and gave orders.

"Release the formation!"

The order was passed down, and the disciple on duty beside the spirit vein stretched out his hand and pressed the formation diagram on the spirit vein.

At this moment, a spiritual force suddenly vibrated and knocked his hand away!
"What—Brother Lin?"

"Wait a moment." Lin Le was already near the spiritual vein as he was preparing to build his foundation. When he heard the order to release the formation, he flew over and stopped the actions of the disciples on duty.

"Uncle Jiang and the others haven't come back yet, why do you want to release the formation?"

"It was the cultivators from Lan Yue Palace who came to visit. They said that Senior Sister Wu was invited individually, and they were afraid of leaving us out, so they sent us wine and food and planned to host a banquet for us." After hearing the reply, Lin Le became puzzled and ordered his disciples to suspend the execution. He flew to the front of the formation with a flying magic tool, took a few glances, and his suspicions deepened, and he even felt alert.

"Senior Brother Lin?" Cui Linglong came forward.

“Don’t release the formation.” Lin Le said in a deep voice, “Send a banquet and invite a few envoys. There is only Junior Sister Cui who has established her foundation on Yueli Mountain, but why are there so many envoys from Lanyue Palace? There are four of them who have established their foundation.”

"Besides, if you really wanted to host a banquet, you could have proposed it when you invited Xiaoyan to leave. Why would you have to make up for it later?"

Cui Linglong was stunned for a moment, and then she said repeatedly: "Brother Lin is right, I will contact Sister Wu for instructions."

Outside the formation, the monk from the Lanyue Palace saw the two discussing from afar. Before the formation was activated, he urged them, "Daoyou, please do not be suspicious. Since Lanyue Palace has lent us the spiritual vein, how could we have other intentions? It is too much to reject our original master."

Cui Linglong smiled awkwardly. Lin Le didn't care about them and activated the telescope that was connected to Wu Yan. However, after urging it several times, there was no response from the other side. Lin Le's heart skipped a beat.

I'm afraid something has happened!
Cui Linglong watched his reaction and responded to the people from Lanyue Palace while hanging in the formation: "Dear fellow Taoists from Lanyue Palace, our sect's cultivators are about to establish their foundation, so it is inconvenient to disturb them. I have rejected your kindness today. I will come to apologize when our sect completes the foundation building."

The monk from Lanyue Palace said a few more words, trying to persuade with reason and emotion, but he also brought up the master's identity, with a hint of threat.

But Cui Linglong remained unmoved, and the faces of the monks in Lanyue Palace suddenly became gloomy.

They stopped arguing, sneered a few times, threw away all the banquet food in their hands, then retreated a hundred feet away, quietly hanging in the air to monitor.

Lin Le was very anxious. What happened? Why did the situation change so suddenly? Xiaoyan went to Lanyue Palace to cut off contact. At the same time, the monks of Lanyue Palace wanted to trick them into Yueli Mountain and there was a trend of attack!

He turned his mind, made deductions and calculations, forced himself to calm down, and suppressed his panic and anxiety.

Although Junior Sister Cui has already established her foundation, she has little experience and is not thoughtful enough. In this critical situation, I must not panic. At worst, I will give up this opportunity to establish my foundation, but I must evacuate most people safely!
Xiaoyan's Golden Core skills are extraordinary. Even with her skills, she couldn't escape. The enemy she faced must be very strong. Even if I am anxious, with only one foundation-building person and two hundred Qi training elites in my hands, I am afraid that they will all be destroyed if I rush to rescue them.

“Brother Lin, Sister Cui!” The disciples hurriedly reported, “The secret sentries outside Yueli Mountain have detected that a large number of Lanyue Palace airships and monks are heading towards Yueli Mountain!”

Cui Linglong exclaimed, and Lin Le said in a deep voice: "The Lanyue Palace has revealed its true intentions. It is no use trying to trick the formation. They are going to force an attack!"

"But what happened? It was fine at first."

"It's meaningless to find out the reason. From now on, Lanyue Palace is the enemy!" Lin Le shouted decisively, "Send an order, order all the secret guards to continue hiding, record the changes on the battlefield, and be ready to find the direction for our breakthrough at any time."

"If our breakout fails, we will immediately retreat back to the mountain gate and report everything to the Sect Leader!"

"Now, all disciples of Yueli Mountain must assemble as quickly as possible!"

Now there are four foundation-building people on the periphery, and fifty or sixty elite Qi-cultivating people keeping watch. If we are afraid of their power and retreat to defend, we will be cut off when the enemy surrounds us from all sides.

Only by breaking through decisively can you find a chance of survival!
The deep sound of war drums sounded. Although the disciples of Yunshan were startled, they remained calm and quickly gathered into teams of ten, led by their respective team leaders, and formed small squares and then large squares.

At this time, outside the formation, between the mountains, tiny points of spiritual light were already flashing, and one after another, the Lanyue Palace airships slid out, with flags fluttering and murderous auras rising.

There were also beams of foundation-building light flashing in it, which made people's hearts full of gloom.

Cui Linglong looked nervous, her rosy cheeks were pale, and her palms were sweating. Although she had successfully established her foundation and had a lot of experience in magic, she had little experience in battle. Now she was the deacon of the Internal Affairs Department and was in charge of the Spiritual Medicine Hall with her father, so she had even less experience in fighting.

The secret agents outside reported the latest situation.

"Three airships in the southeast, three foundation builders."

"Four Western airships, three foundation builders."

"Three northern airships, two foundation-building ships."

"Don't worry, I will take everyone back." Lin Le said calmly, "Don't think about anything, just listen to my command and defeat the enemy in front of you."

"All troops, break out to the north with all your strength!"

The Star-Winged Sky Ray let out a long roar and flapped its wings. Cui Linglong followed Lin Le's footsteps and sprinted northward. The Yunshan battle formation behind him shook.

At this moment, she was suddenly not so nervous anymore.

Brother Liu, I will definitely succeed in breaking through and wait for the day when we can meet again.
Outside the Yueli Mountain protective formation, the cultivator who was keeping watch heard a whistling sound, and then a flash appeared before his eyes. Two huge star-winged sky rays rushed out, their flesh wings vibrating as they rushed southward.

"They are trying to break out!" The leading monk shouted, and the four foundation-building monks set up their escape lights and led their men to catch up. The escape lights were very fast and blocked the sky ray in an instant. The spiritual weapons in their hands flew out and tore the big tent on the back of the sky ray into pieces.

But the big tent is empty?

The roar of the sky rays was heard again. Everyone turned around suddenly and saw that two more sky rays had left the formation and were rushing towards the north!
A trick, fell into the trap?
The leader of the foundation building shouted angrily: "Chase!"

The disciples of Yunshan were riding a total of four Star-Winged Sky Rays this time, and they were now concentrating on two of them, trying to break out to the north.

Above the sky rays, a verdant token was suspended in the air, and the green light was like a gauze net, covering both sky rays.

The increase brought by the secret treasure Dunjia Divine Order is enough to offset the speed reduction caused by the overload of the Sky Ray!
The Star-Winged Sky Ray can fly at a speed of 500 miles per hour, which has already left ordinary Qi-cultivating monks and ordinary airships far behind!

So while the monks of Lanyue Palace were gritting their teeth, they were suddenly left far behind by being attacked from all directions.

"Let's build our foundation first and stop them!"

The leader of the foundation building shouted decisively. It doesn't matter. With my foundation building speed, I can stop the sky rays first, and then surround them from all sides. They still can't escape.

So the four foundation-building monks abandoned the Qi training monks and went forward at full speed to intercept them. When the Lanyue Palace army that surrounded them from all sides saw this, the foundation-building feathered monks also broke away from the main force and chased after them quickly, vowing to keep the Yunshan disciples here.

A total of twelve foundation-building cultivators from the Lanyue Palace drew different colored lights and came to surround the Sky Ray. In addition, three airships in the north turned their bodies sideways, and bits of spiritual light came out from their gun muzzles.

There was a rumble of cannon fire. The moment the airship opened fire, Lin Le shouted, "Turn!"

After all, the speed of the two air rays was much faster than that of the airship. They turned flexibly and threw most of the spiritual energy beams aside.

At this moment, a total of six foundation-building masters came up first, with various spiritual weapons and magic flashing, and attacked the sky ray fiercely. (End of this chapter)
