Looking again at the cyan ancient mirror rotating in the air, it once again emitted a series of cyan lights, one, two, a full nine cyan lights.
These rays of light rushed into the sky and scattered, turning into cyan light mirrors thirty to forty zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) wide. As the blood-colored moonlight shone, these cyan light mirrors also turned blood-red.
From a distance, it looked like nine blood moons had appeared in the sky.
Suddenly, a tinkling sound of copper bells rang out, and the Ghost Chariot Elder also sacrificed a treasure, which was a set of bell magic weapons.
There were a total of twelve octagonal brass bells scattered around the white bone altar. As the bells rang continuously, countless skeleton frames flew out of the white bone altar and quickly gathered into twelve white bone pillars.
The bells landed on them, vibrating with a series of crisp sounds.
Immediately afterward, another muffled thunderous sound exploded.
The sound was not loud, but it startled everyone who heard it. The sound came from the bronze coffin, which did not look ordinary. It seemed that something inside was about to break out of the coffin.
With another boom, a crack appeared in the lid of the bronze coffin, and a stream of black water gushed out from it.
"Fellow Daoists(道友: fellow monk), I don't know what the Ghost King Sect is up to, but it seems they can't spare any time to deal with us for the time being. While we have this time, why don't we discuss how to deal with it?"
At this moment, Elder Tian's voice transmission entered his ears. Zhang Ling turned his head and saw that Elder Tian, Senior Brother Tianfeng, and seven or eight other cultivators had also arrived on their side.
It seemed that they had already had a brief discussion and reached an agreement. Senior Brother Tianfeng even called out to Zhang Ling.
After a while, everyone gathered together, a total of seventeen cultivators.
It seemed like a lot of people, but you must know that, not counting the Ghost King Sect's cultivators, the two sides previously had a total of thirty or so Nascent Soul old monsters.
Now only half of them are left, and the others are probably in mortal danger. Naturally, everyone's faces were extremely gloomy.
At this time, Elder Tian and the others also noticed the Ruolan girl, and the appearance of another unfamiliar Nascent Soul Stage expert made them extremely nervous.
However, it seemed that she was not a cultivator from the Ghost King Sect, which made everyone relax a little.
The Ruolan girl ignored everyone and continued to stare at the white bone altar in the haunted house. As such, no one dared to get too close to her.
"I wonder who this woman is. It seems she is also hostile to the Ghost King Sect," the hunchbacked old man muttered.
"No matter who this woman is, as long as she doesn't provoke us, we should not pay attention to her for now. Now, should we fight or flee? What strategies do you have?" Elder Tian carefully looked at the Ruolan girl, his face becoming more solemn.
"How can we fight? They have two Grand Cultivators, and this ghost mist seems to be some kind of powerful formation. My magic weapon was easily destroyed. Even if we join forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cope," the hunchbacked old man snorted coldly.
"What is there to fear? There are so many of us. If we unite, even if they have two Grand Cultivators, they won't be able to take advantage of us if they try to ambush us again," another dark-faced man, who was also in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, had a layer of baleful aura on his face.
"Everyone, since we separated a few hours ago, have you seen Fellow Daoist Baihua and High Priest Luo?" Another black-robed alien demon glanced at everyone and asked. "As long as we find these two, our current predicament can be resolved immediately."
"Hmph, these two were previously acting with that Sect Leader Yan. Now that Sect Leader Yan is safe and sound, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Baihua and the others are in mortal danger."
"Is this fellow Daoist saying that this person killed my clan's High Priest? That's absolutely impossible."
For a time, although everyone was communicating through voice transmission, disputes arose after only a few sentences.
"Alright, everyone, whether we fight or flee, these are the only two options we have now. Whichever one we choose, we can only deal with the danger if we work together."
Fortunately, Elder Tian was very good at handling this kind of situation, and he calmed everyone's emotions with a few words.
After discussing a few more sentences, they formulated a simple countermeasure. During this time, Zhang Ling also released the Void Insect once, allowing these old guys to examine it.
Afterward, Elder Tian turned his head to look at the Ruolan girl and asked, "I wonder what the name of this fairy is. Why not join us in our actions? The Ghost King Sect..."
The eyes of the others also looked over. If they could bring over this woman with late-stage Nascent Soul Stage strength, their chances of winning would naturally greatly increase.
However, before Elder Tian could finish speaking, Ruolan coldly said without turning her head, "What you do has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, the faces of the hunchbacked old man and Stone Daoist(道友: fellow monk) and the others became gloomy, but they could not afford to lash out. Elder Tian's expression also stiffened, and he sighed helplessly, naturally not daring to say anything more.
If they angered this unfamiliar Grand Cultivator, their situation would become even more precarious.
Only Zhang Ling and Dongfang Ya exchanged a glance. Although they could be considered acquaintances with the Ruolan girl, they had only met once.
When they were discussing countermeasures just now, the two of them tacitly did not mention this matter.
"Let's go, let's go to the edge to see if we can break the restrictions outside first." Elder Tian's gaze turned to the blood mist restriction outside the square.
If they could break this restriction, they would have no worries.
A dozen escape lights instantly rushed towards that side, and everyone dispersed first, carefully examining the blood-colored restriction.
A few old monsters even made a lot of noise, attacking it. However, this blood-colored restriction flowed unfixed, and no matter how powerful the attacks were, there was no sign of breaking it.
After some probing, they all saw with their eyesight that this restriction was formed by the Yin Sha(阴煞: negative energy) power of this place.
Unfortunately, this place is also full of Yin Sha(阴煞: negative energy) energy, especially on this mountaintop. At this moment, the three blood moons in the sky further increased the intensity of the Yin Sha(阴煞: negative energy) power.
It can be said that if this restriction cannot be broken at once, there will be a constant supply of Yin Sha(阴煞: negative energy) power.
"It seems that this restriction is indeed not easy to break, but no matter what kind of restriction it is, there must be a limit. If we attack one place together, we still have a good chance of breaking it," Elder Tian said, looking at Zhang Ling.
"But we can't put all our eggs in one basket, pinning all our hopes on breaking this formation. Fellow Daoist(道友: fellow monk) Zhang, Immortal Dongfang, I will trouble you two to go over there to find Fellow Daoist(道友: fellow monk) Baihua and the High Priest. If they are really trapped, with Fellow Daoist(道友: fellow monk) Zhang's spirit insect, it may be possible to help them escape. We will stay here to break the formation."
Zhang Ling nodded expressionlessly and exchanged a glance with Dongfeng Ya.
"Since we have discussed it, let's act quickly." A bald old man next to him snorted impatiently, and took out a stack of scarlet array flags. "The Tiangang Fire Spirit Formation in this old man's hands is a six-eye great formation. It has a strong restraint against Yin Sha(阴煞: negative energy) evil energy. By setting up this formation, we can use the power of the formation to increase our chances of breaking the formation by several levels. It was originally prepared for attacking cities, but I didn't expect it to be used here."
Following that, the hunchbacked old man of the alien demon clan also waved his hand and took out a few emerald green wooden sticks and a square array plate.
He cast a few magic seals on these wooden sticks, and large green runes lit up on them. As the fluorescent light flickered, these wooden sticks were inserted around and immediately grew.
They directly grew into a dozen huge cyan giant trees. This is also a set of formations, a set of wood attribute great formations.
It can just cooperate with the bald old man's fire formation, increasing the power of the Tiangang Fire Spirit Formation by more than 30%.
The bald old man also threw out the scarlet array flags in his hand, which landed around and turned into large flags.
The others also silently dispersed around, forming a semicircle, their bodies fluctuating with spiritual power, and casting spiritual lights into these array flags.
In an instant, a piece of scarlet spiritual light covered everyone. A series of loud noises rang out, and a scarlet fireball flew out of the spiritual light, spinning in the air.
The fireball was initially only ten zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) in size, but in the blink of an eye, it expanded several circles, turning into a huge fireball a hundred zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) wide, like a sun, surpassing the terrifying fire spiritual power.
As the fireball rotated, it spewed out scarlet fire lines, hitting the blood-colored restriction outside, creating a shocking loud noise.
"Hmph, these fools, the Heavenly Ghost Formation has the blessing of the blood moon Yin(阴: yin) power, and its power can be increased several times." Elder Wuchang, who was possessed by the Old Monster Shijiu, noticed the movement made by everyone and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Don't be careless, they have a lot of people. You take the Ghost Head Tuo two, take this Ghost Peach Nucleus, control these Ghost Willow Trees, give them some trouble, don't let them be too easy." Sect Leader Yan also glanced at the movement made by everyone, frowned slightly, and ordered, while throwing out the Ghost Peach Nucleus that he had taken out before.
"Yes, Sect Leader." Wuchang immediately took the Ghost Peach Nucleus and smiled coldly. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which entered the peach nucleus in his hand.
Immediately, the thumb-sized peach nucleus seemed to come alive, vibrating strangely. It emitted strange sounds of ghosts crying and laughing.
Then, this person took the gray-clothed elder and another dwarf-like man and rushed towards the fire formation.
Afterward, a rustling sound came from the constantly rotating blood-red ghost mist in the four-way square.
The hidden Ghost Willow Trees moved, and in a moment, these strange willow trees swayed and moved to the side of the fire formation, throwing out countless knives, thin willow branches flashing with green light.
At a glance, it looked like a sky full of green lines, swinging frantically.
......
At this time, taking advantage of the cover of the movement from the fire formation, Zhang Ling and Dongfang Ya had quietly flown towards the group of buildings on the left side of the square.
When everyone was discussing just now, they came up with two countermeasures. One countermeasure was naturally to break this restriction. If it didn't work, they would join forces to attack the Ghost King Sect's cultivators.
The other countermeasure was to find High Priest Luo Ming and Old Demon Baihua. According to Ugly Face Youth and Dongfang Ya's senses, these two were likely trapped in a certain place.
As for why only the two of them went, it was because Stone Daoist(道友: fellow monk) had just said that Zhang Ling had a Void Insect in his hand. There was a high probability that it could help them escape.
Hearing that there was a spirit insect like the Void Insect, everyone was naturally quite excited. They all looked at Zhang Ling expectantly, asking him to take out the Void Insect to help them escape.
With the experience of these old guys, although they had not seen the Void Insect, they had seen it more or less in some books. With the Void Insect's space supernatural power, basically no formation could stop the space shuttle.
However, Zhang Ling poured a basin of cold water on them, saying that although the Void Insect could pass through this restriction, it consumed a lot of energy. Moreover, it could only bring a maximum of two people through at a time. It could not support the sixteen of them to escape together.
These old guys naturally did not believe it, but when Zhang Ling released the Void Insect and let these people take a look, they believed it a lot.
With the eyesight of these Nascent Soul Stage(元婴: Nascent Soul) cultivators, they could naturally see that his Void Insect was just a fourth-order spirit insect, and the spiritual power on its body was very weak.
Moreover, it had already consumed most of its spiritual power, and could at most open three or four space cracks at the same time, achieving the purpose of crossing the restriction.
That is to say, it could only allow half of the cultivators to escape at most. Realizing this situation, the alliance of everyone almost collapsed just now.
Zhang Ling even keenly felt that a few old monsters had revealed unkind gazes. It seemed that they wanted to snatch the Void Insect.
People's hearts are unpredictable, especially since they are now like beasts trapped in a cage. Moreover, there is still an antagonistic relationship between them. A slight carelessness may even lead to mutual attacks.
Seeing this scene, Senior Brother Tianfeng and Xuan Gui instantly stood beside Zhang Ling. This suppressed some people's bad thoughts.
In the end, using the Void Insect to escape was a countermeasure, and under the suggestion of Elder Tian and others, it could only be used as an alternative strategy.
Thus, there was the decision for Zhang Ling and Dongfang Ya to act together now.
"I didn't expect you to have a Void Insect. This kind of spirit insect is rare even in ancient times," Dongfang Ya, who was leading the way during the flight, looked at Zhang Ling with a strange smile.
"Although I have this spirit insect, I have also caused a lot of trouble just now, and many old monsters are thinking about it," Zhang Ling smiled bitterly.
Regarding the situation of the Void Insect, what he said just now was true, but in fact, if he fully commanded the Void Insect, he could still use more space supernatural powers, allowing the sixteen of them to pass through.
It's just that it would inevitably consume some of the Void Insect's origin.
However, most of these old guys, except for Senior Brother Tianfeng, had no contact with Zhang Ling. Brother didn't want to consume the Void Insect's true essence for these people.
Moreover, once he used the Void Insect, would the two Grand Cultivators of the Ghost King Sect let them escape? If they attacked again, they would not be the opponents of these two old ghosts.
He still had to keep the Void Insect's supernatural powers to help himself escape in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
If the Void Insect was exhausted, he would lose a life-saving method.
It's just that in the current complex situation, he must always leave a way out.
"What you said is not bad, some greedy guys have indeed taken a fancy to your spirit insect." Dongfang Ya also frowned slightly, suddenly, this woman's beautiful eyes blinked, and a hint of blush appeared on her face, and she teased with a strange smile. "If the situation is not good later, can little brother Zhang take concubine away with you?"
Seeing this woman showing amorous look, Zhang Ling was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Hehe." Dongfang Ya smiled and ignored Zhang Ling, and her escape speed instantly accelerated a bit.
Zhang Ling touched his chin, recovered his expression and followed. But at the same time, a sneer came from his mind. "Your relationship with this woman seems to be unusual, could it be an old acquaintance?"
The voice in his mind was naturally Lan Que's voice, and this guy actually teased him as well.
"He saved my life before." Zhang Ling didn't care about Bluebird's tone and casually replied. But then he asked, "By the way, Senior, you just said there's a powerful aura in that bronze coffin. What is it?"
"A Transformation God cultivator."
Bluebird spoke those four words.
