He sighed, formed a seal and cast a spell to bury these disciples, and then turned into light and left. After walking for about two or three hundred miles, he saw a blue light curtain rising in Yuanyang Valley.

He was shocked. Judging from the situation along the way, the sect had just been defeated and the disciples had not yet been able to assemble. It was impossible to organize a defensive formation so quickly to resist the invasion of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

This must be the formation that the Corpse Puppet Sect marched all the way to build while they were victorious. It seems that the formation has just been completed.

Tang Ning hurriedly took a detour to avoid being discovered. After walking for a day, he arrived at the Puyang Mountains. He looked up and saw that there was no shadow of the camp.

The place where the camp was originally stationed was in a mess, with only rows of wooden houses remaining to prove that it once existed.

The main camp actually pulled out the stronghold and left. From this point of view, the defeat was more serious than he imagined. Otherwise, the main camp would not have been able to pull out the stronghold. This withdrawal meant that the Qian Yizong gave up the entire western border of the Chu Kingdom.

The Corpse Puppet Sect was actually so powerful. The leader, Wei Xuande, led four golden elixir monks and led the sect's elite disciples to a massive defeat. He was shocked, and he took up the light and marched eastward.

After walking for three days, he returned to the sect. He first came to Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion, waved a yellow talisman and handed it in through the thick fog. Soon, the thick fog rolled up and opened a path on both sides.

Tang Ning walked into the main room, where Lu Xingxian was sitting in front of the stone table, waiting for him.

"You're here, sit down!"

Tang Ning sat down as instructed and said, "Fang returned to the sect and came here to report to Senior Brother Lu."

"The day before yesterday, I went to the Internal Affairs Department to check the Life Soul Stone of the disciples of the Department. I found out that you were fine. I thought you must have been separated from the sect's main force and you will arrive in the next few days." Lu Xingxian said.

Tang Ning said: "When I followed Uncle Jiang Ming to counterattack the Corpse Puppet Sect, I was entangled by a monk and kept chasing him, so I was separated from the group. After a fight, I killed him. Due to the huge consumption of my spiritual power, I found a monk." The ground recovered its spiritual energy, and the battle was over when I looked for my brothers again. I returned to the camp and saw that the entire camp had been taken out. I fled for three or four days before returning."

"It'll be nice to come back safely."

"What happened? Along the way, I saw the corpses of disciples everywhere, as if they were defeated. The Corpse Puppet Sect invaded in large numbers and took over many resource areas. I saw them building formations with my own eyes. How could they be defeated like this? Realm?"

Lu Xingxian said: "The sect fell into the Demon Sect's plan, so it was defeated like this. The Corpse Puppet Sect invaded in large numbers and lured our sect into fighting with them. However, they had already contacted the Youmei Sect and set up an ambush. Everyone in the Youmei Sect is waiting. When the fight between the sect and the Corpse Puppet Sect was in full swing, they suddenly came out and the sect was completely defeated."

Tangning frowned and asked, "The Youmei Sect is launching a large-scale campaign, so why don't you know anything about it in advance?"

Lu Xingxian said: "Youmei Sect didn't send out many people. They only summoned monks who were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and above to help out. They didn't come into direct contact with the Corpse Puppet Sect. Instead, they hid in the mountains on both sides of each camp, so they didn't get any information in advance. information."

Tang Ning was silent. There is no doubt that Xuanmen has its own work within the Corpse Puppet Sect, but it may not reach such a high level.

In addition, the senior leaders of Youmei Sect may not tell the monks involved in the operation in order to keep the matter secret. It is possible that only a few senior leaders of the entire sect know about it, and the rest are just following orders. To dispatch such a small unit with top-notch cultivation skills, it must be kept secret. If it's good, it's not too difficult to hide Xuanmen's secret work.

"How are the casualties?"

"My junior brothers Kong and Yuan were killed, and nearly half of the Qi Refining disciples were killed."

Kong Fanxing is dead? Tangning was slightly shocked. His voice and smile could not help but appear in her mind. She did not expect that he would die like this.

"This time it can be said that our vitality has been severely damaged. All departments and departments suffered heavy casualties. Master Geng of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was killed and Master Yan was seriously injured." Lu Fanxing said.

Even the Golden Core cultivators were dead and seriously wounded, not to mention the rest of them. It was no wonder that the camp was pulled out. With such casualties, it was impossible to hold the camp and had to retreat to the sect.

"What should the sect do next?"

"We can only tighten the defense line, and we will count as much as we can save."

……………

In the main hall of Qianxing Mountain, the headmaster Wei Xuande and the senior officials of the three halls and three courtyards gathered together, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

"How is Junior Brother Yan?"

"All the five internal organs are damaged, and it may be difficult to recover. The fluctuations in spiritual power in the past few days have been extremely unstable." Jiang Ming said, after Geng Tong's death, he took over as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Have the casualties been counted?"

"In this battle, among the 114 foundation-building disciples, 39 soul stones have been destroyed, and countless others have been injured. Among the 712 Qi Refining disciples, 340 soul stones have been destroyed. "Historical Name Sui Dao

Wei Dexuan was silent for a long time: "Have our Qian Yizong ever suffered such a defeat since the founding of the sect? As a result, nearly half of the elite disciples were killed and injured. This is my fault."

"Master, there is no need to blame yourself. The elimination of demons is a general trend in the world. We are not the only one in Xingang. The big sects in Qinghai are not in a hurry when they are forced by the demon sect. The top priority is to come up with practical ways to prevent demons. Zong expanded aggressively. Luo Qingshui Road

"The current plan can only shrink the front line, abandon Qinchuan and Longyou, stick to the Central Plains, and keep the Corpse Puppet Sect out of the Central Plains." Peng Wanli said.

"Our sect has recently been defeated and the people are in disarray. If we are sent to hold the frontline camp at this time, everyone will be in danger. The Corpse Puppet Sect will take advantage of the victory and their morale will be greatly increased. If the two confront each other, the frontline disciples may flee without a fight." ." Tong Quan'an said

Wei Xuande nodded and said: "Junior Brother Tong's words are reasonable. I will personally guard the front line to reassure everyone."

"This great defeat was due to the Youmei Sect attacking me by surprise. If the leader wants to personally control the front line, he can discuss a joint defense strategy with the Qingyang and Shuiyun Sects to prevent this kind of thing from happening again." Historical name. Follow the way

Wei Xuande said: "I was about to discuss with the junior brothers. Yesterday, I contacted the Qingyang and Shuiyun sects and initially agreed on a defensive strategy. Each of our three sects will dispatch manpower to form a strong mobile team. "

"This mobile team does not need too many manpower, but it must be elite disciples, just like the support team of the Youmei Sect a few days ago. The strength of the team can threaten the foundation of the Demon Sect. In this way, the Demon Sect must be afraid of We don’t dare to act rashly, but the mobile team can frequently harass the opponent, attack his weak points, and make him unable to take care of himself.”

Peng Wanli nodded and said: "This plan is very clever. The overall strength of the Demon Sect is not stronger than our Xuanmen, but it can make our Xuanmen suffer in every way. This is because they have four sects that form horns and interact with each other. , so that I don’t care about each other, and I prevent the Demon Sect from occupying resources externally, and they attack our mountain gate internally, and I dare not fight with all my strength."

"However, they can reinforce each other. Therefore, our three Xuanmen sects have been repeatedly frustrated. Now, it is the best policy to treat others in their own way and counterattack them. It is much stronger than blindly defending."

Wei Xuande said: "What do you junior fellow apprentices think?"

Everyone bowed their heads and agreed.

"I wonder how this team should be equipped?" Shi Ming asked.

"I have made a preliminary decision with Shuiyun, Qingyang, and the two sect leaders to combine the efforts of the three sects and create five Jindan monks, ten late-stage Foundation Establishment monks, twenty mid-stage Foundation Establishment monks, and thirty early-stage Foundation Establishment monks. A total of sixty-five monks make up this mobile team."

"If you can have such combat power, I think the Demon Sect will be very wary of it. This mobile team is mainly mobile. Try not to come into contact with the main force of the Demon Sect. We don't want to cause important losses to the Demon Sect in one battle. What we want is to constantly harass the Demon Sect. The enemy must be exhausted to deal with it. The tactics adopted include: when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we advance, and when the enemy is tired, we attack, so that the Demon Sect will take the trouble to strike hard at his weak points."

Everyone praised the plan and said it was a wonderful plan.

Wei Xuande looked at Luo Qingshui: "Junior brother Luo, you have the highest cultivation level among all the junior brothers. I want you to serve as the commander of this team on behalf of my sect. What do you think?"

In this battle between the Qian Yizong and the Corpse Puppet Sect, their vitality was severely damaged. Nearly half of the Qi Refining disciples were killed and injured, and a third of the Foundation Establishment monks were killed. Two Golden Pill monks were also killed, one dead and the other seriously injured.

If two more Golden Elixir monks were sent out, they might not be able to defend themselves, so he planned with Shuiyun and Qingyang sects to have one late-stage Golden Elixir monk from the Qianyi sect. Shuiyun and Qingyang each sent one mid-stage Golden Elixir monk, and one from the Qingyang sect. In the early stages of the Golden Core cultivator, in this way, five Golden Core cultivators are enough to frighten the Demon Sect.

Qianyi Sect is the only sect among the three Xuanmen sects in Xingang that has two late-stage Jindan monks. Wei Xuande wants to personally control the front line, and this responsibility can only fall on Luo Qingshui.

"You must obey the orders of the leader." Luo Qingshui said.

"Okay, you can choose twenty foundation-building disciples for your deployment."

"Are all the disciples in the sect allowed to be chosen by me?"

"That's natural. The mobile team requires elite disciples. You can choose whatever you like. You can choose three late-stage foundation building, seven mid-stage foundation building, and ten early-stage foundation building to join this team." Wei Xuande said.

…………

Outside Lu Xingxian's cave, a ray of light came out, and a man with a fair face appeared. He waved a yellow talisman and penetrated into the thick fog. After a while, a ray of light flashed out from the cave, and Lu Xingxian fell to the man. Side: "Come to my cave, but the master has an order?"

The man's name was Zuo Qingquan, and he was under the direct control of the head of the clan. He was not under the jurisdiction of the three palaces and three courtyards, but directly obeyed Wei Xuande's orders. That's why Lu Xingxian had this question.
