Chapter 1117 Return
When Lin Tao heard this, he felt his whole body tense and cold sweat rolling down. If the high priest didn't fall into the trap, all the arrangements behind him would be in vain. How likely would they win with the high priest?
These thoughts flashed through Lin Tao's mind like a windmill. Lin Tao no longer cared about anything else and shouted loudly, appearing in the jungle, attracting the attention of the high priest and others.
There is no doubt that the first idea that the high priest thought was that he was a spy outside the Dharma Sect. So at the moment, the high priest did not hesitate at all, and immediately used the space jump to attack Lin Tao.
Lin Tao jumped out instinctively. He had figured out the bottom of the high priest in the last reincarnation. Although the two were in the Mahayana period, the high priest's strength was above him, so he did not dare to hide his strength at the moment and took Lu Xueyin to continuously perform space jumps.
The high priest had excellent eyesight and could almost see at a glance that Lu Xueyin was the weaker one between the two, so he didn't hesitate and directly attacked Lin Tao's weakness, used the Void Handprint to grab Lu Xueyin in the air.
Lin Tao took Lu Xueyin and ran away into the formation. At the same time, he prayed secretly in his heart, and the high priest entered the ban with them.
The high priest obviously had never expected that such a few meters of distance was the boundary of the formation and chasing it without thinking.
This time, Lin Tao's thoughts were just right. On the other side, the others saw that the high priest had already chased him, and they all set out to follow him, and entered the ban in a moment.
After several space jumps, the high priest almost succeeded every time, but Lin Tao escaped without any danger. The last time, after the high priest missed, a hint of suspicion flashed between his eyebrows, and he immediately widened his eyes again, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
"I've been trapped!" The high priest waved his hand back without thinking about taking the people back.
Seeing that the high priest had already discovered that he would not follow up again, Lin Tao quickly formed seals with his hands, and the formation quietly opened.
The formation they set up was created by a man named Shi Jiu, a generation of Master Zhengfa. Shi Jiu served as the leader of the Master Zhengfa Sect for fifty years. After he disappeared, no one saw him again. He was only left for his descendants for a while, and this devil retreat formation.
In this formation, the true qi and spiritual power will be consumed quickly, which is similar to the black and gray area encountered by Lin Tao and his friends in the Xuangu Taiyi Fairyland.
But there is one advantage and one disadvantage. There is no perfect thing in the world. The disadvantage of this formation is that it cannot trap people. Those who enter the formation can withdraw from the restricted area at any time.
Therefore, when Wang Chong set up this formation, he had already agreed with Lin Tao and others. If the cultivators of the Demon Sect do not enter the formation, they will find a way to lure them into the formation. In this way, the people who were ambushing outside the formation in advance took the opportunity to pick up from the back and trap the leader of the Demon Sect in the formation.
When Lin Tao and Lu Xueyin arrived at the battlefield, Wang Chong and Zhao saw that their brothers had already fought with the high priest and others. They looked at each other and both joined the battle...
One hour later, the war finally settled and it was concluded.
"Have you done the statistics? How many people have we lost?" Wang Chong, the leader of the Zhengfa Sect, leaned weakly against the roots of a tree.
The disciple next to him reported the number. After hearing this, Wang Chong didn't have much surprise in his eyes, but just nodded lightly.
Lin Tao and Lu Xueyin were also covered in blood and sat side by side with Wang Chong. Wang Chong looked at the disciples of the Zhengfa Sect who were cleaning up the battlefield and sighed: "After these are over, I will also retreat from the position of the sect leader. I am too old and can't do anything."
Lu Xueyin looked at him in surprise: "Sect Master, in the future, the Zhengfa Sect will rely on you to lead it!"
With a bitter smile, Wang Chong shook his head slowly: "The Demon Sect's defeat this time has greatly damaged its vitality."
He turned his head and glanced at the body of the high priest not far away: "Even the high priest has been killed. I am afraid that the Demon Sect will not come again for a long time."
Lu Xueyin was quite disdainful: "This time the Demon Sect has been wiped out by us, and the rest are scattered as birds and beasts. Not only will they not come again in a short time, but they will not come again in the future."
"How about we make a bet?" Wang Chong looked ahead intently and said this for no reason.
"Betting?" Lu Xueyin was confused, "What are you betting?"
"I said, you underestimate the Demon Sect too much. The foundation of the Demon Sect is far beyond our imagination. If you cut off one of their fingers, they will grow one more. Even if only one of them is cut, they will completely recover."
"Then cut them down with your fingers and hands," Lu Xueyin said: "There is no evil."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chong chuckled softly, as if he was sneering: "After I step down as the sect leader, you must tell future generations and bring these words to me."
Lu Xueyin became serious and said: "Sect Master, you just say anything, I will bring you whatever you want."
"The wildfire cannot be burned out. The disciples of the Zhengfa Sect of the descendants should be wary of the resurrection of the Demon Sect for generations. Never take it lightly because of the Demon Sect's disappearance for a while. You must know," said Wang Chong slowly, "If there is no shadow in this world, if they have disappeared, they must be hidden in an unknown corner."
After saying these words, Wang Chong waved his hand: "Go, I'm too tired, I want to take a rest."
Wang Chong slowly closed his eyes, Lin Tao patted Lu Xueyin, and the two walked away silently, leaving Wang Chong alone there. No one of them expected that Wang Chong closed his eyes this time and never opened it again...
Two days later, at the camp of the Zhengfa Sect, everyone held a simple cremation ceremony for the leader of Wang Chong.
Lu Xueyin slowly lowered the torch and ignited the hay under Wang Chong's body. In a short while, the fire gradually became prosperous.
"Sister Sister, although the sect leader did not explain to whom this position was passed to, I think everyone knows it. You must take this sect leader." Zhao Jian said at the right time when the fire was almost burning.
"No," Lu Xue couldn't help but shook her head and refused, "I'm too young to take on this great task."
Zhao Jian smiled bitterly: "Look at the one among us, who is not young? I know that it is not easy for anyone to be ordered in danger. But look at these people, you are the one they all hope for, so don't refuse."
"I……"
Lu Xueyin was still waiting to speak, Lin Tao patted her shoulder and said, "On this point, I agree with Brother Zhao. For the long-term consideration of the Dharma Sect, the sect leader of this sect must do it."
After hearing these words, Lu Xueyin lowered her head and thought for a while, finally let go of her doubts and nodded: "Since you have spoken too, I will stop saying anything. I can only serve this sect leader. When there is a suitable candidate in the future, I will automatically give up the virtuous."
Everyone thought about it, it would be better to accept this matter first. When the time is ripe, then persuade her to officially take over as the sect leader. It is only a matter of time before and after.
Seeing that everything here has been arranged, and the result of the Battle of Makino had been successfully rewritten by him, and there was no need to stay anymore, Lin Tao said after everyone decided on the sect leader: "Actually, I have a secret that I have never told you that I am not from this world."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him like a fool, staring at him with his eyes. Lu Xueyin couldn't help but say, "Lin Tao, what do you mean?"
Lin Tao shrugged: "My affairs here have been completed, and I will return to the world that belonged to me in the past."
Lu Xueyin didn't delve into the meaning of the words, but only heard one meaning. Liu Mei raised her head and said, "Are you leaving?"
Lin Tao nodded with a smile.
"You..." Lu Xueyin was speechless for a moment, and countless words were mentioned to her lips, but she couldn't say it. Finally, she breathed a long sigh and said, "Is it so urgent?"
"I don't know what will happen over there for staying here for too long, so... it's really urgent."
Lu Xueyin gritted her teeth and was silent for a moment, "Okay, since you are leaving, I can't stop you, at least let me give you a last paragraph, right?"
With this gift, Lu Xueyin directly sent Lin Tao to the ancient stone. Lin Tao told her about the use of the ancient stone. Lu Xueyin was slightly surprised when she heard it and asked, "You said you are from the future, are these true?"
Lin Tao nodded: "Is it true? You will know if it's true after a while."
Lu Xueyin hesitated for a moment: "Then will you come back to visit me in the future...?"
Lin Tao knew what he meant, smiled slightly, and asked back, "If I come back, it would be back to the previous time point. You didn't know me at that time. Haven't all our experiences disappeared?"
When Lin Tao said this, he took out the Qiong Life Stone and activated the ancient stone again. The formation emitted a strong light. In the strong light, Lin Tao's figure faded away bit by bit.
"Lin Tao," outside the ancient stone formation, Lu Xueyin suddenly shouted, and the sound sounded a little far away, as if it was coming from another time and space.
"Hmm?" Lin Tao responded loudly, afraid that people outside would not hear it.
But the man seemed to hear it, and made a loudspeaker with both hands: "If I have any information, I will leave it to you, I will make a mark here, and you will definitely remember to read it..."
The sound has gradually faded away, and the second half of the sentence is vague and hazy, as if it comes from the bottom of the water.
"Tell me clearly!" Lin Tao also shouted through the formation, but he probably didn't say this.
I heard the sound outside in chaos and was completely confused. "Remember and look", Lin Tao barely heard these three words.
Opening his eyes again, Lin Tao has returned to reality and is in the cave of ancient stones.
To his surprise, the ancient stones in the cave had been destroyed and turned into a pile of rocks and abandoned tiles, and could no longer be used.
Who did it at this time? Lin Tao was puzzled and suddenly saw a corner of the stone slab not far from the stone slab, with words on it seemingly.
