Luoyun Mountain.

Time is like an arrow, like a water.

In the blink of an eye, the dispute between the Demon Cloud Sect and the Luoyun Mountain Immortal Cultivation Realm had lasted for nearly five years.

The current battle situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the three factions, speaking of which, the Demon Cloud Sect did not launch that kind of large-scale attack, but took it step by step, mainly encroaching and harassing.

The other party obviously didn't want to lose too much by doing this, so that the battle situation could be stalemate, otherwise if the Demon Cloud Sect went all out, regardless of the cost and losses, it would be a question of whether the three factions could hold on for a year and a half.

However, with the passage of time, this balance was gradually broken, after all, there were too many differences in the strength of the other side, the three factions were losing and retreating, and many important places, such as the spirit stone veins, and some mountain streams and canyons that produced natural materials and earth treasures, gradually fell into the hands of the other party, and the entire Luoyun Mountain fell into a gloomy cloud.

What to do?

The immortal cultivators of Luoyun Mountain were all flustered, but they naturally would not admit defeat easily, after all, there was no way out.

You must know that Luoyun Mountain is extremely rich in resources, if you give up this spiritual vein treasure land, the three factions will be equivalent to breaking their own foundation, even if they can maintain it for the time being, but they will become weaker and weaker with the passage of time.

Even if he can barely keep the inheritance, after a hundred years, he will have to become the kind of small sect that does not enter the stream, and this result is naturally impossible for the three immortal sects to accept no matter what.

So even if they knew that a strong enemy was not easy to deal with, even if there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, they never thought that they would admit defeat.

Instead, grit your teeth and persevere!

Of course, it is not enough to blindly support it, and the battle in the immortal cultivation world is also strategic, the specific manifestation is to ask for help, the Demon Cloud Sect has always been extremely domineering, as far as the martial arts world's immortal cultivation world is concerned, there must be more enemies than friends, and the plan of the three factions of Luoyun Mountain is to unite with them.

In my heart, such a decision must be right, but the development of things is not smooth at all, there are few responders, and it is basically useless, so a full five years have passed, and the entire Luoyun Mountain is still alone.

......

It's a wasteland.

The Luoyun Mountains are undulating, and there are countless various terrains and landforms throughout the mountain range, and there is a huge canyon at the end of the wasteland.

At first glance, there is nothing to show for it.

However, I am afraid that few people would have thought that this seemingly desolate and lifeless canyon had a rich vein of spirit stones deep underground.

Spirit stones, for monks, can not only be used to buy all kinds of treasures, the pure aura contained in itself, also has a very wide and important use, alchemy, making tools, cultivation, is to replenish mana, all are indispensable.

It can be said to be the most common, but also the most consumed.

And now on the periphery of Luoyun Mountain, and even many spirit stone mines in the middle, are occupied by the Demon Cloud Sect, even if there are still some reserves in the sect, but as time goes by, this thing is becoming more and more stretched.

So the importance of the spirit stone mine in front of you can be imagined!

According to common sense, or most people's perception, I am afraid that it must be very well guarded, but the opposite is true.

What is surprising is that there are only more than twenty immortal cultivators guarding this spirit stone mine, and most of them are only refining qi, and there are only a few in the foundation building period.

Don't you think it's outrageous, incredible, I feel that the heads of the three major sects have been kicked by donkeys, why not be guarded in such an important place?

The reason is actually quite simple.

There are two in total, one is the lack of manpower, and there is a way that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, otherwise do you think those old monsters at the Jindan level really can't even know their priorities?

It is true that now in the face of the Demon Cloud Sect's pressing step by step, they are all under extremely heavy pressure, and in the past five years, countless immortal cultivators of the three major sects have fallen, and now they really can't draw more manpower.

Even if they know that this place is important, but there is a shortage of manpower, what can they do?

There is another reason, that is, this place is extremely desolate, or very hidden, although the Demon Cloud Sect is powerful, but after all, it is an outsider, and they are not familiar with the topography of Luoyun Mountain, so the probability of them discovering the spirit stone veins here is very low.

If you have too many people, it may be self-defeating.

After all, even the immortal cultivators of the three factions have now been placed with some eyeliner by the other party.

It is also based on these two reasons that although the spirit stone mine here is important, there has not been too many manpower.

At this time, on a barren mountain next to the canyon, there stood a handsome man, about thirty years old, with a brocade robe and jade belt, and his gestures, all exuding a dashing bearing, but his eyebrows were full of melancholy.

At this moment, his eyes are looking straight ahead, looking far away, at first glance, it seems that he is climbing high and looking far away, but if he looks closely, he can detect that he has actually encountered some problem, and he is just standing quietly on the top of the mountain and thinking.

In this way, half an hour has passed unconsciously, and suddenly there is a sound of small footsteps behind her, but it is a young woman with a delicate face, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, but her cultivation has reached the foundation.

"Senior Brother Yan, you've been standing here every day for the past half a month, but what's on your mind?"

The girl stopped a few feet away from the man, and with a look of concern on her face, she spoke like this.

"Alas!"

The man sighed: "Senior sister, I don't know, I have been restless when I practice meditation recently, and I have a premonition that this place will not be peaceful and safe anymore." ”

"Senior brother is ......" The woman couldn't help but show a look of surprise when she heard this: "Will those guys from the Demon Cloud Sect find here?"

"Not bad. ”

"Probably not, this place is desolate and remote, and there has never been a trace of a demon monk. ”

"I didn't have it before, it doesn't mean that it won't appear in the future, in short, I have a bad premonition in my heart. ”

"What then?" the young woman panicked.

"I've already reported to the head of the house, hoping that he can send some more people. The man sighed, obviously a little unconfident about this move, after all, he was very clear about the situation that the sect was facing now, and he was overstretched everywhere, and in the absence of tangible evidence, there was little hope of sending reinforcements to himself.

Saying that, the man turned around, if Qin Yan was here, he would definitely be shocked, because this man he recognized, Senior Brother Yan Haoyan, in order to obtain the foundation building spirit rune, he and him, as well as Senior Sister Liu, went to carry out the task of dealing with the Gu family ancestor together.

Now that time has passed, although it is not possible to talk about the vicissitudes of life, the two have not seen each other for more than five years.

I remember that he also heard Senior Sister Liu mention that Senior Brother Yan was the first of the three of them to successfully build the foundation, and he has made many great contributions, which is quite valued by the head of the family and the elders.
