Chapter 174 Demonic Qi Remains
When Yu Jingwan led everyone back to Ice Soul Peak, the entire Seven Swords Sect was completely on alert.
The spontaneous opening of the mountain guarding array indicates that someone forced their way into the mountain gate, but the strange thing is that the whereabouts of the person who broke into the sect is unknown, and no trace has been found.
Being able to break through the formation and avoid the disciples who are almost everywhere in the sect, Moying gives people the feeling that they are very familiar with this mountain gate.
Yunji has always felt that the demon shadow is not simple, but it is not clear whether the demon shadow's true form is a human or a demon.
Humanoid appearance may not necessarily be that of a human race, there are many monsters that can transform into humanoid forms or even create humanoid bodies.
Instead of going back to the top of the mountain, everyone immediately came to the cold pool in the back mountain.
Seeing that Hongcai was safe and sound, Yu Jingwan took a deep breath and ordered her junior brothers and sisters to be on full alert to protect the master.
Bingpo Peak was poor and had nothing of value, and there was nothing of value. The most important things were the old man in the cold pool and the Fish-Dragon Sword.
Yunji held his sword and walked slowly beside the Tan.
There was no trace of the demonic shadow nearby, but Yunji vaguely felt the remnants of the demonic energy. After distinguishing it, he found that the most demonic energy remained on the ice.
He walked onto the ice and walked up to Wen Hongcai.
The Phantom has been here!
Yunji felt something in his heart.
Check around again to confirm there is no trace of the demon.
Came here and left again...
"Sister, is the Yulong Sword still there?" Yun Jida said.
Yu Jingwan was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yunji's solemn expression, she sensed it with her spiritual sense and nodded: "It's still at the bottom of the pool."
Yunji nodded, thoughtfully.
The demonic shadow has been here, but it didn't steal the Yulong Sword, and it didn't even hurt Wen Hongcai. So why did it come? Could it be that it was just passing by?
While Yunji was meditating, a scream suddenly came from the direction of the Deacon Hall in the distance.
Subsequently, a large area of sword light gathered in the area of the martial arts performance field. The sect leader and others arrived, and five flying sword magic weapons were used to fight against the demon shadow. Other Jindan elders were arriving one after another.
"Why don't the elders of Xiaoyu Peak take action?" Yun Ji watched the sword light surging from a distance.
"The Shadowless Sword is special among the seven swords. It needs to be used at the cost of life, so the sect has regulations that allow the Shadowless Sword not to be used unless it is absolutely necessary." Ni Fuqing explained.
Yunji glanced at the lifeless Xiao Yufeng and frowned.
This time the demonic shadow suddenly attacked the mountain gate, and a lot of disciples must have died. As an elder, he should show his face even if he didn't draw a sword, and it's not like he had no other means except flying swords.
The Seven Swords Sect was about to fall into disarray, but Elder Xiao Yufeng still remained silent, like an outsider watching the excitement, which was a bit unethical.
As a disciple, Yunji is not qualified to care about the elders' matters, but the elder of Xiaoyu Peak, Liao Wuchang, really gives people a bad impression.
Qin Wu hid behind an ancient tree and stretched his neck to look at the battlefield in the distance. He muttered to himself: "Something happened eighteen years ago and it's happening again this time. Is it because the Seven Swords Sect is having a bad time?
…”
The eighteen years that Qin Wu mentioned was the time when Bingpo Peak's junior master uncle rebelled from the mountain.
In the eyes of veteran disciples like Yu Jingwan, the scene back then seemed to be happening right in front of them. It was quite similar to the current situation. The elders of the sect were doing their best to defeat one person.
The fierce battle didn't last long.
As more and more Jindan elders rushed to the battlefield, the demon shadow gradually lost its enemy, and finally escaped from the Seven Swords Sect after killing several deacons.
The sect master personally led more than a dozen elders to pursue him. The remaining elders divided into several waves. Some searched the mountain gate for any remaining demons, while others treated the injured disciples and repaired the destroyed sect's magic circle.
A surprise attack by the demon shadow caused hundreds of casualties to the Seven Swords Sect, and the damaged formation required great cost to repair.
The larger a magic circle is, the more expensive it is, and the weaker its power is. Especially the mountain-protecting magic circle, the foreign enemies it can withstand are actually very limited, and a strong person can easily break through it.
The real purpose of the mountain guard formation is actually early warning, used to judge enemy attacks in advance, and repairs are expensive.
Fortunately, the demonic shadow was defeated and the Seven Swords Clan could still bear these losses.
On the Moon Picking Peak adjacent to the Seven Swords Sect, a thin old man stood outside the main hall with his hands behind his back, looking down at the mountain gate of the Seven Swords Sect.
"One demon can cause the Seven Swords Sect to be in a hurry. They are really a bunch of trash. If this continues, when will Hezhou be able to have Yuan Ying again? Oh, it's really sad. Forget it, if you have wine now, you can get drunk now, who cares?
What is right and wrong tomorrow..."
The old man shook his head and turned back to the Star Observation Hall. In the hall, Little Mian Mian was running nervously left and right. Above her head, the purple magic star was rising and falling.
"Master is not good! Oh my head..."
"What are you afraid of when you hang it so high? You won't fall down and make a fuss. Go get a drink!"
"Oh..." Xiao Mianmian pouted and looked for wine. After a while, he ran over in a panic: "Master is not good! The Seven Swords Sect is in chaos! Oops, my head..."
"It's not a big deal if the Seven Swords are in chaos, it's just a game of chess. That guy really keeps his composure. Soon, the winner will be determined... Where's my wine!"
"It's coming, it's coming! Master, don't knock!"
There was a flurry of excitement in the Star Observation Hall. Xiao Mianmian carried two big bags and looked for wine with tears in his eyes.
Within the Seven Swords Sect, the tense atmosphere continued until the sect leader and others returned.
Yunji followed Yu Jingwan and others back to the peak, and everyone gathered in the hall, waiting for the sect's next instructions.
Soon, the disciple responsible for the communication arrived and brought the sect leader's order. The sect returned to normal and the disciples went about their own business.
As for the Phantom, there is no news.
The sect leader and others who chased him returned empty-handed.
In this surprise attack by the demonic shadow, more than 500 disciples of the Seven Swords Sect died, many of whom were foundation disciples who died on the way back to the sect from Lingxi Forest.
All the seven swords and magic weapons were there, only two of the golden elixir monks were injured, and the others were unharmed.
As a result, for a large sect like the Seven Swords Sect, it is not a waste of time and energy, and more disciples can make up for the losses.
However, the Jinluan Peak where the sect leader was located suffered heavy casualties.
Not only Qiu Tianyun, the first disciple of the sect master, died in Lingxi Forest, but eighteen Jinluan Peak true disciples also died unexpectedly together with Qiu Tianyun.
Nineteen true heirs died at once, the price was so high that everyone felt heartbroken.
However, there were no rumors about the sect leader being angry or sad in Jinluan Peak. Jinluan Peak was a bit strangely quiet.
Among all the casualties, only Bingpo Peak had the smallest number. It was also because the people at Bingpo Peak had the fewest casualties that they seemed to have no casualties.
Although the deaths of Ye Tan, Gu Qing, and Gu Chen were not caused by the demon shadow, they must be considered as part of this training. Yu Jingwan personally went to the Deacon Hall to report and explain the cause of death of the three true disciples. Later, people from the Law Enforcement Hall will investigate the process.
.
It is not a trivial matter for a demon clan to sneak into a sect and pretend to be a true disciple.
The monster Pili who disguised as Ye Tan has been killed, Gu Qing and Gu Chen's revenge has been avenged. Yun Fengpi is no longer under control and has returned to its original state, and is no longer sleepy at night.
Logically speaking, this matter is over, but Yunji always feels that it is not that simple.
A demon spirit Pili tried his best to disguise himself as a disciple of Ice Soul Peak, and even controlled Yun Fengpi to monitor Wen Hongcai. What was its real purpose?
Since Pili was dead, it was difficult to find out its purpose, so Yunji put the matter aside for the first time.
On the evening of the day he returned to the sect, Yunji went to the trading hall, intending to purchase some materials to repair the damaged Prisoner Demon Arm Armor.
There are many people with the same idea, and every time the experience ends, the trading hall is overcrowded.
