Chapter 495: Strength in Numbers

Under the protection of the Seven Sons of Nanhong, the vassal forces that had been calm for a long time suddenly fell into a bloody fight.

There is no reason or purpose.

The group of aquatic monsters quietly stepped out of the water.

The only thing these attacked vassal forces have in common is that they are all under the jurisdiction of Elder Liu Shiqian.

It wasn't until many deacons and elders from the outer sect of Qingyue Sect arrived to support that the situation was barely brought under control.

Just when the other forces in Nanhong were panicking, they secretly speculated whether this fierce battle would continue to expand.

However, as if they had received some order, the water monsters retreated neatly and submerged under the water again.

Only corpses and broken bones were left on the ground.

"..."

The elder of the outer sect of Qingyue Sect was hanging in the air, holding the magic circle. He frowned and did not show any joy.

Instead, he subconsciously looked back at the insignificant figure among the monks.

"call."

Liu Qianyun breathed hard to calm her mind.

But his fingertips still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This group of monsters seems to have no purpose, not to rob anything, but the target they choose to attack is too obvious.

Now that they have withdrawn inexplicably, it is obvious that the person behind them has got what it wants.

"father……"

Liu Qianyun clenched her fingers, quietly withdrew from the crowd, and then rushed in a certain direction.

A mere cultivation level of the third level of returning to virtual reality.

In front of this group of monks who are qualified to leave the sect, she is at the bottom of the list, and how can she avoid the sight of others with her actions.

Everyone just pretended not to see it.

After all, they did not receive the elder's decree, which meant that Elder Liu had no intention of making the matter a big deal.

In the end what happened?

…

at the same time.

In the turbulent ocean, a thin figure stood with his hands behind his back, riding a lone boat.

The slightly serious face, with clear eyes, quietly swept towards nowhere in front of him.

It seemed like he was the only one in the room.

But the waves in the water seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

However, no matter how fierce the waves were, they could not touch the hem of the robe.

Liu Shiqian shook his head: "You tried so hard to call me out, but you didn't want to scare me with these children's tricks."

As soon as the words fell, the water surface suddenly fell into dead silence.

The water that was still flowing just now seemed to suddenly freeze and turned into a blue gem.

A moment later, a hoarse voice came from underwater: "Then why do you think I called you out?"

Liu Shiqian lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Anyway, it's not to kill me, at least not like this."

"Why?" The underwater voice smiled.

"Because you don't dare." Liu Shiqian patted his cuffs and didn't even bother to show off his magic weapon: "Without evidence, how can you, a watchdog, dare to cause trouble to the Dragon Palace?"

Elder Liu, who has always been serious and rigid, made the underwater being breathe heavily with just one sentence.

Everyone knows that among the thirteen dragon grandsons, the fourth is ranked at the forefront in terms of strength and character, and is in the limelight, crushing most of his brothers.

But only a few people know that the reason why it is so popular is because Nanlong Palace does not regard it as its successor at all.

In the Immortal Sect, it is not even a Taoist disciple, at most it is an elder protecting the Tao.

Attacking and killing an elder of the Qingyue Sect in front of Nan Hong was not a decision it could make.

There was a long silence under the water.

Finally there was laughter again: "Then what are you doing out here?"

It really can't do anything on the surface, but as long as it stirs up a little trouble, it can make the deacons of Qingyue Sect very anxious and even pay a heavy price.

And all these injuries are because of Liu Shiqian.

Sometimes, having your back too straight is not a good thing and can easily be manipulated.

At least Elder Liu would definitely not watch this happen.

On the contrary, Ke Laosi didn't care about the life or death of those water tribe monsters.

If he exchanged the demon's life for the life of his Qingyue Sect disciple, it wouldn't feel sorry for him at all, let alone feel guilty or self-blame.

"Why don't you tell me, by whose hands my brother died, and why? I'll let you go." There was a hint of playfulness in Ke Laosi's voice.

"..."

There was a little more sarcasm in Liu Shiqian's eyes, and he slowly exhaled: "Then let's do this. You also tell me who sent you the letter."

Just a few sentences.

Ke Laosi fell silent for the third time.

It didn't really want to know the identity of the Dragon Slayer from the old man. After all, the letter had already explained the matter clearly. It just wanted to tease Liu Shiqian for the ridicule of "watchdog" just now. Just venting your anger.

But it was obvious that Liu Shiqian had already guessed everything.

The slightly deliberate playfulness in Ke Laosi's laughter finally subsided, and he said solemnly: "I never thought that Elder Liu could be so sharp-tongued."

It doesn't want to talk nonsense anymore.

"Immortal Cave, you have three days to come out alive. This matter is over. If you die, I will no longer pursue it."

The so-called Immortal Cave is a secret place in Nanhong.

It has been explored thousands of times by monks and has been abandoned for a long time. The only unique thing is that once you enter this cave, you are completely isolated from the outside world. It is an excellent place for killing people and hiding corpses.

After a long time, it was agreed upon.

Stepping into the Immortal Cave is equivalent to signing a life and death certificate.

"I won't pursue it any longer... Hey, you are worthy of representing the Dragon Palace."

Liu Shiqian shook his head and whispered in the calmest tone, but he did not refuse this matter. Instead, he turned around slowly, and the boat under his feet suddenly rose and headed towards somewhere.

If someone familiar with him could see it.

Elder Liu is not the kind of cultivator who likes to show off his verbal skills, although he is really good at it.

Another sentence caused waves under the water, which angered Ke Laosi and also represented that Liu Shiqian's mood had changed a little.

He looked far ahead.

Suddenly, the jade slip flickered.

In theory, the elders all have a Taoist card on them, but he did not bring it out.

The matter of killing Ke Shisan can be big or small.

If it was reasonable, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the pity is that Ke Shisan never provoked Qingyue Sect from beginning to end, and it was even Sect Master Shen who started the fight first... If the Dragon Palace wanted to quibble, Ke Shisan was just borrowing a large formation of a vassal force. Given the power of the Dragon Palace, he was not guilty of death anyway.

Liu Shiqian sighed and gently crushed the jade slip.

He swooped down from the lonely boat.

His figure appeared in front of a cave that looked like the mouth of a ferocious beast, and then stepped in.

His vision began to change.

When a rotten smell entered his mouth and nose.

Liu Shiqian looked up and saw three huge statues as big as small mountains sitting cross-legged in the dim hall.

They were each topped with a fat, sharp-toothed fish head, a three-headed monster snake with vertical pupils, and a long-nosed elephant head with mottled scales.

When Liu Shiqian stood still.

The long-nosed water elephant covered with scales slowly opened its eyes, and its wet body began to move, which made people realize that it was not a statue, but a living creature.

As everyone knows, there are at least five demon armies under the command of Long Zi.

The strength of their leaders is not inferior to that of the elders of the Immortal Sect.

In addition to the six princes of the Southern Dragon Palace, the dragon grandson Ke Lao Si is the only one who has five demon armies.

What surprised Liu Shiqian was that.

In order to deal with him, the other party was willing to send three generals leading an army at once, no wonder they dared to say that they would take three days.

"Is it coming?"

The long-nosed water elephant stood up slowly, and easily raised his hand to flip over the roof of the hall, revealing the same dim sky.

"It's coming." Liu Shiqian stretched out his index finger and gently tapped his forehead.

A long rainbow jumped out, starting with green, mixed with purple and white in the middle, and suddenly connected to the sky.

After careful analysis, there are about five heavenly palaces, which proves why he can ascend to the position of elder.

Behind the clouds.

Longhan City and Chiming City appeared one after another, and two heavy doors were pushed open by invisible hands, and then green light burst out, bathing Liu Shiqian in.

Wait until the green light dissipates.

On Liu Shiqian's thin body, there is a black robe, and on his back is a dazzling white crescent moon.

In his open palm, there is a crescent-shaped sword.

Two Qingluan fairy weapons make this gray hall look like a fairyland.

However, the expression of the three-headed monster did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Since you are here, don't leave."

...

Above the ocean.

Elder Chiyang looked solemn, looking at the flickering jade slip in his hand: "This old thing, he is in a bad temper again."

It should be a relief that he can't get in touch.

After all, Elder Chi Yang didn't know how big a sin it would be if he took Sect Master Shen to die.

But at this moment, he couldn't be happy.

It seemed that he had completely withdrawn from the whole thing. He also believed that Lao Liu could definitely handle this matter, but why did he feel so upset.

Reaching the realm of Baiyujing, a good friend who can openly confide in each other is really a rare thing.

Chi Yang only has one such old friend, and the other party is the same.

"Or, you go back first."

Chi Yang adjusted his mood, turned back and squeezed out a forced smile: "I'll look for it again."

Until this moment, he suddenly didn't want to carry a burden, or greet the other party.

"Let me do it."

Shen Yi didn't seem to see the worry that Elder Chi Yang tried hard to hide.

He just slowly closed his eyes.

His mind moved slightly, and he communicated with Ke Shisan at the center of his eyebrows.

"If the Dragon Palace finds out about your death, what will Ke Lao Si do to avenge you?"

"Uh...ah...uh..."

Zhen Shi responded somewhat stupidly: "If it has no evidence, it shouldn't be too obvious. It should invite Elder Liu to the Immortal Cave."

"Got it."

Shen Yi tapped his chin and opened his eyes again: "Let's go and take a look."

"Huh?" Chi Yang was stunned for a moment. What does it mean? Did he find it?

No, Master Shen also has connections underwater?

And...the other party is determined to get involved in this, right!

But now, Chi Yang suddenly put away his words of persuasion. Even if it really caused a big disaster, he really wanted to see where Lao Liu was now.

Let Ke Shisan continue to rest. Under the guidance of the spirit of the flesh-winged silkworm, Shen Yi took Elder Chi Yang directly to the Immortal Cave.

...

Outside the Immortal Cave.

As soon as the two figures landed, they saw two water monsters in the late stage of returning to the void, wearing exquisite fish scale armor, standing with their arms folded, guarding the entrance of the cave.

"The water tribe is doing business, idlers..."

Before the words fell, the two big monsters seemed to recognize the identity of the person who came and were stunned for a moment.

They didn't reveal the identity of the Nanlong Palace just now, and they didn't want to make a big deal out of it. But if it was someone from the Nanhong Seven Sons who came, there would be no need to disguise themselves.

"It turned out to be the elder of the Qingyue Sect."

The water demon glanced at the cave behind him, and then turned his gaze to the old man with white hair and a youthful face, and also glanced at the young man next to him.

The two demons bowed and said, "Elder Chiyang, we, the younger generation, are too talkative. Let's advise you not to interfere. This has nothing to do with you. It's not easy to practice. Don't give up your life, and don't be like Elder Liu, who arbitrarily caused a big disaster to the Qingyue Sect."

"Please go back."

After saying that, the two demons stretched out their hands and made a gesture to send the guests away.

"..."

Elder Chiyang suddenly clenched his five fingers. Old Liu was indeed here.

As he guessed, this old donkey had offended the Dragon Palace. Judging from the situation, it might even be a dragon son.

Finally, it was decided to settle privately.

Looking at the calm appearance of the two demons, the situation was probably not good.

"This should be Sect Master Shen, right?"

The water demon looked at Shen Yi again and smiled playfully: "You can go in, after all, Elder Liu treats you well, but we have to advise you that it is not your turn yet, so it is better not to let Elder Liu die with his eyes closed."

"Sect Master Shen, you go back first." Chi Yang seemed to have made some kind of decision.

At this moment, he looked at the black-shirted young man next to him and took a step, as if he did not see the two demons, and walked straight into the cave.

At the moment of passing the two demons.

It seemed that a breeze blew and rolled up his sleeves.

Crack! Only a muffled sound was heard.

The heads of the two demons collided instantly, and broken bones and blood plasma flew across.

Shen Yi gently wiped the blood stains on his palms, and his back disappeared into the depths of the cave.

"Ah?"

Chi Yang was stunned for a moment. The two demons were still smiling in the last second, and they turned into warm corpses in an instant.

And there was not even a fluctuation of breath on Sect Master Shen.

Based on this skill, the opponent is definitely not just a late stage of returning to the void.

"Fuck your rules."

Chi Yang cursed and strode in.

At this moment.

In the Immortal Cave, the heavy breathing sounded like thunder.

Obviously, the consumption of three huge monsters is not small.

But the result of this consumption is quite gratifying.

The thin figure leaned against the corner of the wall quietly with the Yanyue sword. The black moon robe on his body had been broken and turned into green light and returned to Longhan City. The closed city gate was so unshakable that it seemed to cut off the life of this middle-aged cultivator.

Perhaps Liu Shiqian could defeat any one of the three monsters alone.

But when they join hands, coupled with years of cooperation, their strength is not simply adding up.

The three days that usually take a blink of an eye now seem so long.

Now, less than two hours have passed, and the outcome has already been decided.

"Huh."

Liu Shiqian silently looked at the third city looming behind the clouds.

It's a pity that he is not a cultivator with good luck.

Such a breakthrough in battle is rare for a cultivator like him who has been steady all the way. From the first Qingluan Palace, he has been down-to-earth. When he is lucky, he can feel the heavenly palace, but there are also many ordinary spiritual palaces.

After entering Baiyujing, he barely saw three cities.

But there is no need to dream about the door that could not be opened before.

"Tsk."

Liu Shiqian spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

He stood up again, and pointed the crescent-shaped sword in his hand again.

The three demons smiled and were about to speak, but suddenly there was a bit of teasing in their eyes.

I saw a white palm gently pressing on the back of the knife.

Then the man walked forward, his slightly swaying black shirt blocked Liu Shiqian's sight, and stopped in front of the three huge demons.

"You were really beaten like this?"

Chi Yang, who rushed in a step slower, supported Liu Shiqian's body and said angrily: "Are you mentally ill? Going to talk about morality and rules with demons?"

"Why are you here?"

Liu Shiqian frowned slightly and wiped the blood plasma that could not stop flowing from his nose with the back of his hand.

He looked at Chi Yang with a little blame.

Elder Chi Yang understood what his old friend meant and complained: "It was not me who brought him here, but Sect Master Shen who brought me here."

Liu Shiqian did not say much, but just tightened his knife again.

Looking at the back in front of him with some emotion, the other party's shoulders were not particularly broad under the black shirt.

But this temperament is really not inferior to other Taoists.

Although he is not good at speaking, he is still as accurate as ever in judging people.

"Stop the demons and let the leader go first."

Liu Shiqian was no longer polite to his old friend, and the crescent blade shone again.

The long-nosed water elephant raised his arms slowly and stared at Elder Chi Yang: "If you had come earlier, there might have been a glimmer of hope... As for now, it's a little late."

Liu Shiqian's strength was only 40% of what it was.

Even with Chi Yang, it couldn't turn the tide.

As for the black-shirted young man, they didn't take him seriously at all.

"You are so proud of using your numbers to bully the few." Chi Yang sneered, and his fingertips also covered his eyebrows. A long rainbow that was slightly inferior to Liu Shiqian's connected the sky and the earth, and also summoned the phantoms of Longhan and Chiming City.

"We who work in the Dragon Palace never mind using our numbers to bully the few, and we especially like it."

The three-headed snake demon was not angry at all, but laughed gloomily.

Then one of the three heads slowly looked at the black-shirted figure: "Master Shen, what do you say? Are you tired of living today and come to my door to add a great achievement to my brothers? Or do you want to count you in, just three of us, let's fight one-on-one?"

In full view of the crowd.

Shen Yi's fair and handsome face suddenly showed a smile: "No need."

"Oh?" The snake demon spit out his tongue teasingly.

But the young man raised his head, his smile faded, and said seriously: "I also like to bully the weak with the majority."

As the voice fell, two spiritual lights flashed out.

Transformed into an equally huge body, it quietly appeared behind the three-headed monster.

The flesh-winged silkworm raised its body about a hundred feet high, and its wings that almost covered the sky and rolled up the wind and sand, as if a terrifying giant had awakened again.

The giant turtle, with its body surging like flowing gold, crawled on the ground, gently rubbed the bald head of the water elephant with its front paws, and then slapped it wildly, laughing: "More than people? Is it enough? I ask you if it is enough! Speak!"

"Are you dumb?"

"I asked you to speak!"

The tall elephant monster also looked thin in front of the giant turtle. It was slapped on the head and bent its body silently.

Something seemed wrong.

The other two big monsters also became alert instantly, no longer relaxed as before.

"..."

Liu Shiqian and Chi Yang looked at each other.

The appearance of these two stone puppets looked familiar, but completely different from what they remembered.

The strong breath made the two feel strange.
