Chapter 2016: Siege of the StyxLuo Hong was in a very good mood at this moment. It was not because he accidentally heard these three little guys praising him, but because since cultivators from the Five Lights Clan could appear here, it basically proved that they were now near the Feiling Clan.
As long as he finds out the direction, he can return to the Xia Ling tribe with a thunder formation.
"Senior, are you a cultivator from the Xia Ling clan?"
The long-haired man in the lead protected his second brother and younger sister behind him, and spoke to Luo Hong with extreme caution.
“Yes, I am indeed from the Xia Ling tribe.
If you want to go to the ruins, you must first remove the eighteen formations on the surrounding seabed. Otherwise, with your level of cultivation, you may never return."
Luo Hong nodded slightly and gave some instructions.
What's going on? Why didn't I sense anything when I went there before?The long-haired man was suspicious and didn't quite believe it.
“If you can sense it easily, then that Luo Tianzun is really unworthy of his reputation.
However, although there was no visible aura from those formations, the illusion formations originally used to conceal the view must have been broken by now.
You just need to dive into the seabed yourself and search carefully, and you will definitely find something."
Luo Hong saw through the thoughts of the young man opposite him at a glance, and patiently gave him instructions again.
"Senior, since you are so familiar with the ruins, why don't you go and look for the treasure yourself?"
The youngest of the three couldn't help but speak when she heard this.
“The cultivation level of Luo Tianzun was not that high back then, so even if he left something behind, it would be useless to me.
Meeting is destiny, I am just giving you some advice, if you don’t believe me, then forget it.”
Luo Hong shook his head. When he left the Feiling tribe, he did leave some things in the cave.
These three people are just Divine Transformation cultivators. If you can get them, it will be a great opportunity.
"Senior, you have great cultivation, so you will naturally not play tricks on us juniors. I wonder if you can tell me your name, so that we can do our best to repay you in the future."
Ever since Luo Hong showed up, the long-haired man has been trying to figure out Luo Hong's cultivation level, but to no avail.
Judging from his aura alone, the other party is undoubtedly a mortal.
But how can a mortal stand in the air? So the gap in their cultivation must be too great!
"No need to ask for anything in return. You just need to tell me that this place is close to the coast of the Feiling tribe."
Luo Hong knew that this was just a little trick of the long-haired man, but she didn't care.
Is this person really selfless and just wants to give us some advice?The long-haired man's heart moved, wondering if he had really met a Taoist master today. On the surface, he immediately replied:
"Senior, this place is close to the west coast of our tribe. We just need to go east and we will enter the territory of the Tianpeng tribe."
"senior?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the long-haired man found that the person in front of him had disappeared at some point, and he couldn't help but look puzzled.
In the distance, Ah Zi saw Luo Hong appear and immediately asked:"Master, have you asked for directions?"
"This is the sea area west of the Feiling tribe."
Luo Hong replied casually, but he was thinking about other things.
"That's not far. We can go back to the Xia Ling tribe immediately."
Ah Zi nodded.
"Don't rush back. Now that we've been teleported here, let's go to the Styx first."
Luo Hong decided immediately.
Ah Zi couldn't help but smile when she heard that. The land of the Styx was eerie and scary, and there was nothing to see there. However, Madam Yuan's Taoist temple was located there, so the situation was naturally different.
With a flash of lightning, Luo Hong brought A Zi and Xue'er to the sky above the abyss. Looking at the familiar arrangements around them, memories came flooding back.
Hehe, he was quite pretentious here back then.
Little did he know that while he was slowly savoring it, the Feiling cultivators guarding the entrance to the Abyss were scared half to death.
"Who are those three? How did they get in?"
"Where's the formation? Is there something wrong with the formation?!"
"Go and report to the elders immediately!"
The Feiling Clan has always been on high alert against the Diyuan, and normally pays close attention to any disturbance, let alone the fact that three people suddenly appeared out of nowhere above the heavily restricted entrance!The news was reported quickly, and soon it appeared in the hands of a dignified female Mahayana cultivator.
This woman has a delicate appearance, not like a natural beauty. She has a pair of pitch-black wings on her back and her eyes are filled with murderous intent, making it impossible to look into her eyes.
"Humph, you dare to come to my Feiling tribe and make trouble? I want to see who you are!"
After a delicate shout, a round mirror filled with evil spirit appeared in front of Ao Qing, reflecting the scene at the entrance to the abyss.
However, when Ao Qing saw the appearance of the young man in black, his originally majestic aura disappeared instantly, and he immediately revealed a look of a little girl.
"How could it be him! Why is he back?"
The next moment, as if he had noticed Ao Qing's prying, the young man in black turned around, looked at her with a smile, and disappeared with the two women beside him.
"Old Ancestor? How should this matter be handled?"
The combined monk who came to report tried to lower his head and pretend that he saw nothing.
"Alas, he didn't come to see me after all. Pass the order down and don't disturb him."
A look of resentment flashed in Ao Qing's eyes, and he gave the order.
In the abyss of the earth, Luo Hong swept his spiritual sense and found that there was a new combined demon king on every layer.
"I didn't expect Ao Qing to have broken through to the Mahayana realm. It seems that she has been making good use of the evil spirit I gave her back then."
Ignoring those demon kings, Luo Hong flashed and arrived at the entrance of the Styx.
Normally entering the Styx requires waiting for a suitable time, but Luo Hong naturally doesn't need that much trouble now.
With a casual pointing of his finger, a passage was opened up. Neither the spatial barrier nor the water of the Styx could block it. There was no such huge noise as those demon kings had made in the past.
"I don't know if Yao'er is at home."
With a hint of anticipation, Luo Hong led the two girls into the passage.
At the same time, in the land of the Styx, eight Mahayana monks of different races were gathering in front of a magnificent palace, all with solemn expressions.
After exchanging glances, a middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon crown and a golden robe sighed, flew forward a little, and said loudly:"Fellow Daoist Yuan, now that things have come to this, please come and see us."
"Please go back, seniors. My sister will not see you. Unless we use force, we will never leave the Styx!"
From deep within the palace, a slightly angry female voice was heard.
"Is there really no room for negotiation?"
A four-armed strong man among the eight people frowned and spoke in a rough voice.
"Fellow Daoist Man, let Fellow Daoist Jin negotiate first."
Another person pointed at the man in golden robe and reminded him.
The four-armed strong man opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, why are you doing this? The Xia Ling tribe is very prosperous now, why do you have to live here like us?
It is better to give in and settle this storm."
The man in the golden robe advised with a bitter look on his face.
"Jin Yanhou, for the sake of our past friendship, I will not bother with you today. Take them away quickly and stop talking nonsense."
However, another female voice sounded in the palace, and it was even more impolite.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, you know that if we leave this Styx, the great calamity will come in an instant.
If one or two of them survive in the end, we are lucky!
Jin is begging you to show mercy! "
Marquis Jin Yan bowed in the direction of the palace with an earnest expression, and there was nothing to criticize about his behavior.
"If you let me leave this place, you will block my path to ascension. Please go back!"
The female voice coming from the palace became much more severe.
"How can this be! For your own immortal path, you are going to harm all of us!
Fellow Taoists, there is no need to waste time talking to her. Let's just charge in and tear down her temple!"
The four-armed sturdy man finally couldn't bear it anymore and was about to take action while shouting.
"Friend Man, calm down!"
"Oh, absolutely not!"
"Don't hurt the harmony!"
Upon seeing this, Jin Yanhou hurriedly joined the other two foreign Mahayana monks in trying to dissuade them.
But the four-armed sturdy man and the other four men didn't listen at all. They used their magical powers and magic treasures and smashed towards the black light curtain covering the palace.
"Hmph, over your own strength!"
Following a light shout, an exquisite brocade ball rose from the depths of the palace, spun in the air, and stirred up a brilliant glow like mist, enveloping the surrounding sky and earth.
"Oh no, it's Xuantian Lingbao!"
Sensing the powerful aura of the exquisite brocade ball, the five four-armed strong men were suddenly startled, and they switched from offense to defense, preparing for the upcoming attack with nervous expressions.
But after a moment, even though the gorgeous rays of light disappeared, the expected attack did not come.
"fake?"
Someone said in doubt.
"You'll know if it's true or not if you try it!"
The four-armed sturdy man was too lazy to guess. He swung his arms and smashed a huge peak towards the black light curtain.
But before it could hit it, the black light curtain swept out a circle of blade light, cutting off the thousand-foot-high peak.
The other four also rushed to take action upon seeing this, but no matter what means they used, the black light curtain could deal with it.
"What a powerful formation!"
"What a stupid guy, he shouldn't have come with them!"
Jin Yanhou covered his face with his hands and shook his head in deep regret.
It turned out that in his perspective, the gorgeous rays of light around him were still there, and the five four-armed strong men were not attacking the black light curtain, but were attacking each other.
It was obvious that they had all fallen into an illusion, and their life and death were no longer in their own hands!
"You dare to take action without knowing anything, and don't even think about why the Mayfly Clan doesn't dare to use force!"
"Brother Jin, what should we do now?"
“Well, since Fellow Daoist Yuan is unwilling to compromise, we can only stand on her side.
This Styx land originally has no owner, the Mayfly Clan really went too far this time."
Jin Yanhou immediately told the escape route he had prepared.
Then, he bowed towards the palace and said:"Please stop, Fellow Daoist Yuan. We are willing to fight against the Mayfly Clan together with you."
"Humph! Since they didn't intend to kill me, I'll spare them this time!"
As soon as the words fell, the four-armed strong men and the other five immediately came to their senses, realizing that they had just been tricked, and were all horrified.
I didn't even realize that I had fallen into an illusion. What a powerful Xuantian Lingbao! This girl is worthy of being the Taoist partner of Luo Tianzun!"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please open the ban and let us in to discuss it."
Jin Yanhou requested at this time.
It was obvious that the people in the hall had the same intention, and immediately a gap appeared on the black light curtain.
But none of them noticed that at this moment, there were three figures standing in the sky.
"Master, it seems that the lady has solved the problem."
Ah Zi saw clearly that Luo Hong was already ready to take action.
"Ah."
Luo Hong nodded slightly and didn't say much, but she actually felt a little regretful in her heart.
Such a good opportunity to play was lost just like that.
Alas, it’s not entirely a good thing that Yao’er is too strong!
"Come on, let's go down. I want to see what's going on."
After saying this, Luo Hong, who was unwilling to give up, cast a spell to hide the figures of the three people. With a flash of silver light, he passed through the formation and quietly came to a hall.
In the hall, Jin Yanhou and other eight foreign Mahayana masters had already taken their seats. A woman of unrivaled beauty and imposing aura was sitting at the top, with the woman in black skirt standing beside her.
"Yao'er!"
The woman at the top exuded the aura of a late Mahayana cultivator. She was none other than Yuan Yao, whom Luo Hong had mentioned many times when he was in the fairyland.
Compared to thousands of years ago, Yuan Yao's appearance has not changed at all, but her temperament has become much more aloof.
Although his eyes and brows were full of the majesty of a Mahayana cultivator, Luo Hong could see a hint of fatigue that was well hidden.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, let's speak frankly today.
The reason why the Mayfly Clan has been raising the required offerings is to force you out of the Styx. The rest of us are just innocent victims.
But since Fellow Daoist Yuan is not giving in, we have nowhere to retreat either. Why not join forces and face the pressure from the Mayfly Clan together!"
Jin Yanhou went straight to the point and made his attitude clear.
After hearing this, the four-armed sturdy man and others couldn't help but show hesitation. It was obvious that Marquis Jin Yan had not told them about this plan beforehand.
After all, although Yuan Yao possesses the Xuantian spiritual treasure and is powerful, the Mayfly Clan is even more powerful and wealthy, and they really don't have much confidence.
Even Jin Yanhou himself only regarded this as a second-best option, which shows that the chances of success are indeed slim.
“The Mayfly Clan’s move is nothing more than an attempt to stop me from practicing and suppress my Xia Ling Clan.
Of course, there may also be an intention to seize the treasures left by my husband.
But if they think I'm weak and can be bullied, they are totally wrong!
Don't worry, everyone. As long as you move your caves to the vicinity of my dojo and form a battle formation, even if the Mayfly Clan uses force, I have the means to deal with them!"
Yuan Yao knew very well the origin of this turmoil.
Ever since Luo Hong and Han Li both ascended to heaven, the offerings that these Mahayana practitioners who were cultivating in the Styx had to pay to the Mayfly Clan would increase dramatically every thousand years.
If the upcoming third time is still the same, Jin Yanhou and others will definitely not be able to bear it.
Although Yuan Yao is not unable to produce it, the Mayfly Clan is targeting her. Continuing to tolerate it will only make it worse, with no end in sight!There is no way, since she is the only Mahayana cultivator from the Xia Ling clan currently outside, she is indeed a good target.
Fortunately, Yuan Yao also has the confidence to fight back, that is the things that Luo Hong left for her before he ascended.
If the Mayflies pushed too hard, she was confident that she could make them suffer a great loss!
