Mu Xingqiu sat on a stool in front of the room, looking down at his big sword.
There was still the blood stain of the demon clan on the sword, he didn't wipe it, he just watched blankly, watching the blood stains flow slowly along the dendritic lines on the sword's body, and now no matter how the big sword is placed, even if the tip of the sword rushes up, the blood droplets still flow to the tip in an orderly manner, waiting for the latecomers, and when they converge into a ball the size of a pigeon's egg, they fall to the ground like disgust.
A small pool of blood had accumulated at Mu Xingqiu's feet, and the sword body was recovering as before.
"What a good sword. The Taoist priest standing opposite said.
Mu Xingqiu raised his head and looked at Shen Jiyi's face, "Finished talking?"
The reinforcements who came from outside Broken Flow City were not Grandmaster Pang Shan, nor were they disciples of Wandi Mountain, but Shen Jiyi, a Taoist priest of Ashan, who killed the flying demon with a spell, and was cheered by the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army in unison, and then followed the team back to the inn in the city to meet Zuo Liuying.
It didn't take long for him to come out, so Mu Xingqiu guessed that the conversation must not have gone well.
Shen Jiyi didn't answer immediately, he looked around, this is not a big inn, more than a dozen rooms are enough for one of the Pangshan Taoist priests, the shopkeeper and the guys have fled, no one has cleaned it, and the courtyard, doors and windows have been covered with a thin layer of dust.
The people who are used to living in Lao Zufeng don't know how to do cleaning work, and even if they have spells, they don't know how to use them, but fortunately, they eat very little, and they are sent by the city guard on time, so they won't starve.
Shen Jiyi smiled, "Lan Qizhang Daoyou...... It should be said that it is the left seat, let me talk to you. β
Mu Xingqiu was stunned for a moment, and slowly stood up, although Shen Jiyi came out of place, but he thought that his task was over, and from then on he just concentrated on fighting with everyone, but he didn't expect Zuo Liuying to let him handle all the affairs.
He quickly returned to normal, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Jiyi glanced around a few more times.
"Yang Qingyin is in the barracks. Mu Xingqiu said.
Shen Jiyi smiled. "Of course, it's about the Patriarch Tower. β
"Hmm. Mu Xingqiu didn't say anything, Zuo Liuying gave him a difficult task, and he was a little vague about what Pang Shan's bottom line was, so he wanted to hear what the other party said first.
"I don't need to say much about the importance of the Ancestor Tower, Broken Flow City is too close to the demon army, they will attack it soon, this place should not stay for a long time, the Ancestor Tower should be taken away. β
Mu Xingqiu raised his head and thought for a while, he should have thought about how to answer, but his thoughts always turned to other places. I thought that Shen Jiyi was actually only six or seven years older than him, but he was already a Taoist priest of Dianxia and was qualified to come forward to solve various problems for Ashan......
"I haven't heard news about the Dao Sect for several days, have the Ranjing Mountain, Wangshan Mountain, and other Dao Sects been attacked by the Demon Clan?"
A hint of displeasure flashed between Shen Jiyi's eyebrows, and the Taoist priest Zuo Liuying refused to talk to him, and in turn, he didn't like a breathing Taoist priest to put on an equal posture with him, but he still introduced: "There are battles in many places. The Kraken launched a large-scale attack on Chaojing Mountain and was repulsed, a group of demon soldiers attacked Hongshan and the whole army was wiped out, and several other Taoist clans were attacked by different Cheng DΓΉ, but fortunately. Didn't suffer anything. β
"Only Pangshan ......"
"It was the main force of the demon clan that attacked Pang Mountain, and now it seems that the demon king's purpose is to open a gap and directly attack the Holy Rune Dynasty. The Nine Great Roads have all been fooled, and the most critical thing at the moment is not Pang Mountain, but Wangshan. β
"Wangshan?"
"That night six days ago. The most chosen one to be attacked was actually Wangshan. β
"Wangshan has been prepared for a long time. β
"That's right, Wangshan has been prepared for a long time, all the Taoist families have secretly sent high Taoist priests, and the patriarch himself has already quietly returned to Wangshan, but it's strange that here, without any warning, and without any destruction, Wangshan suddenly closed the instant platform after passing a few messages to Hongshan saying that the battle situation was superior. β
"Turn off the teleportation station?"
"Unlike the destruction of the Pangshan Instantaneous Stage, the Hongshan Daoist is sure that the Wangshan Instantaneous Observatory is still there, but the other party no longer receives the transmission of the Hongshan Instantaneous Terrace, I don't know if it was intentional or if there was something wrong. β
"It's a strange thing. Mu Xingqiu was very surprised, Wangshan was alone in the far north, far away from other Dao systems, the surrounding ice and snow were dangerous and inexplicable ancient battlefields, full of unclean aura, the Instant Breath Platform was the only fast entry and exit channel, Wangshan really had no reason to close it.
"It's not just a strange thing, it's also an unprecedented crisis, Wangshan guards the Demon Suppression Bell, there are thousands of Taoist priests in his own family, and there are nearly three hundred senior Taoist priests in other Taoist systems, if something really happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. β
The Nine Great Dao Sect generally expects that the demon clan will return to the human world within a thousand years, and if it springs out now, and none of them are ready, it will indeed be a crisis of ruining the miΓ¨ nature. However, listening to Shen Jiyi's tone, Mu Xingqiu knew that the situation was not so strict, "So all the Taoist families are busy solving the matter of Wangshan." β
"Well, it is said that a team was sent from Xingshan to Wangshan, and it is estimated that it will take several months to arrive. The various Dao Clans are now in danger and are strengthening their defenses, which is why Wandi Mountain was unable to send people to help after receiving a request for support. Let's be honest, I'm your only reinforcement. β
"Grandmaster Pang Shan and many disciples are in the Jing Mountain, they will come in a hurry. β
"Probably not, Ranjing Mountain is just an attack to defeat the Kraken, and it has not completely defeated them, the shape over there is still in danger, and Pangshan Grandmaster Ning Qiwei - I admire his courage and mind very much - has publicly promised to put the overall situation first, unless the Kraken is completely repulsed, he and the Pangshan disciples will never leave Chaojing Mountain. β
"This ...... This is impossible!" Mu Xingqiu was even more shocked than hearing that Wangshan was missing, the Patriarch Tower is the treasure of Pangshan Town, and if he loses it, Pangshan will no longer be worthy of being one of the Nine Great Dao Unifications, Ning Qiwei should come as quickly as possible, not "focus on the overall situation".
"The various tribes of the demon clan are surprisingly united this time, and the offensive is huge, which has not been seen in 100,000 years, Grandmaster Pang Shan's choice is correct, and he must believe in Zuo Zuo very much. β
Shen Jiyi aggravated his tone, so a compliment became like a mockery, Mu Xingqiu knew, and the Nine Great Dao Masters all knew that Grandmaster Ning Qiwei and Zazuo Liuying were at odds, one was a symbol of Pangshan, and the other was the highest Taoist priest in the realm of Pangshan, if it weren't for the real illusion incident back then. Zuo Liuying is more qualified than Ning Qiwei to inherit the title of Grandmaster.
Will a high-level Taoist priest, especially a Taoist priest like Grandmaster Hezao, also damage the interests of the Daoist system because of personal grievances? Mu Xingqiu remembered his experience when he was selecting apprentices at Yangshen Peak, and he already had an answer in his heart, but he was still very disappointed, he was a disciple of Pang Shan, and he already had feelings for Pang Shan, and he really couldn't bear to watch it fall because of infighting.
"No other Taoist priests will come to our aid?"
"No, there may be a Pang Mountain disciple from Chaojing Mountain to officially inform your Sect Master of his decision. β
"Is your building the Ancestral Tower?"
"Yes, please don't get me wrong. Asan and the other Dao Sects are not interested in the Patriarch Tower, I will build yΓ¬ You will transfer to the Imperial Capital, which is the heart of the Holy Fu Dynasty, far away from the demon soldiers, protected by a powerful Fu Gong army, which is enough to fight with the entire demon army, and the various Dao Sects will also support the Imperial Capital, not here-" Shen Jiyi pointed casually, "There is no danger to defend in Broken Flow City. Not suitable for fighting the demon army. The Dao Tong and the Holy Fu Dynasty did not sit idly by and watch the flames of battle in Pang Mountain, and all parties were gathering forces and preparing for a decisive battle, but not in Broken Flow City. β
Shen Jiyi describes a perilous environment. He proposed a reasonable suggestion, but he didn't believe that an inhaling Taoist priest could make a decision, and paused and said, "Go and discuss it with the left seat, and make a decision quickly." You have repelled the first group of demon soldiers, and I am afraid that you have attracted the attention of the demon army. β
"I'm sorry, either it's me or the left seat. I can't give you a clear answer now, and I have to wait for the Pang Shan disciple to bring back the message from the Grandmaster. β
"Of course. Shen Jiyi bowed slightly, gave the gift of Taoism, and the imperial weapon flew up, he would not stay in this dirty little inn, he would rather go out of the city to find a quiet and clean place to live.
There was no more blood stained on the sword body, Mu Xingqiu put it in the scabbard behind his back, and looked at Zuo Liuying's room for a while, hoping to get some instructions, but no one came out, not even Fangfang and Bald.
He walked to the gate of the inn, ready to go to the barracks to have a look, but before he could open the door, he heard a commotion outside.
"Why did the gods leave again?"
The news of Shen Jiyi's use of spells to kill demons has spread throughout the entire Broken Flow City, and everyone has a glimmer of hope, and they can't help but be disappointed when they see him flying out of the city.
Mu Xingqiu pushed the door and walked to the street.
The crowd was quiet, and I don't know when the street was full of people, most of them were refugees who had come in the past few days, and when they saw "General Mu" coming out, they all stopped making noise.
Two soldiers brought Mao Qilin and walked in front to clear the way for the general.
Mu Xingqiu was not used to being stared at by so many people, and when he walked to the middle of the street, he stopped, sat on Mao Qilin's back, and said in a loud voice: "It is not safe to cross the river to Dongjie Country, Broken Flow City." β
He doesn't want to give everyone an illusory hope, there will be more and more demon soldiers, and the Taoist priest of Pangshan will leave at any time, his duty is to protect the Patriarch Tower, not Broken Flow City, let alone this group of people.
The crowd nodded one after another, and an old man with a cane plucked up his courage and said, "We are here to thank General Mu for blocking the demon soldiers, and you saved our lives." I'm waiting for my daughter and her family, and we'll cross the river as soon as she arrives, and it will take two or three days. β
Everyone was talking about gratitude and wishes, and it turned out that they were all waiting for their families.
Mu Xingqiu just nodded and didn't speak again, this was not officialdom, he couldn't say what Xin Youtao called an "unfulfilled promise", and slowly drove out of the crowd and headed to the barracks.
The soldiers of the Xuanfu Army were still immersed in the joy of victory, and many of them deliberately kept the blood stains on their bodies, and crowded to the gate of the barracks to cheer and salute General Mu.
Yang Qingyin stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Mao Qilin, "Shen Jiyi wants us to go to Ashan, right? β
Mu Xingqiu shook his head, nodded to the soldiers, and then jumped to the ground, took the Pang Shan disciple to a room where no one was around, and explained the current situation of the Nine Great Dao Unification.
"Shen Jiyi is right, we have to withdraw to the imperial capital. Shen Hao was the first to say, "Since Zuo Liuying makes you responsible, it's up to you to decide." β
"The Patriarch Tower has not been completely repaired, at least we can't evacuate Broken Flow City for a few days, and our task is to defend the city. The Grandmaster will send someone soon, and see what he has to say. Mu Xingqiu paused, "And I don't believe that the Grandmaster would abandon the Patriarch Pagoda for the sake of Chaojing Mountain." β
"Yes, there's something wrong with that. Yang Qingyin stretched out his hand and made a crisp finger sound, "I don't believe that Ning Qiwei will regard the safety of Ranjing Mountain as more important than the Ancestor Tower, this decision is too crazy, it is simply a demon...... But even if he becomes a demon, my parents and many people in Pang Shan are messing with Jing Mountain, and they will never support Ning Qiwei's decision. β
