Seeing the two people entering, many people were looking at her. Tang Ning understood clearly that this place was obviously a refuge for remnants of soldiers. She just didn't know whether the formation had been prepared before or if they had built it temporarily.

The man led him through the lobby of the house, came to a stone room in the corridor on the left, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside.

The two pushed the door open, and there sat a burly middle-aged man with a tiger body and ape-like arms sitting cross-legged inside.

"Uncle Master, this is a disciple who escaped from the Third Column and the Seventh Regiment. He was brought here by fellow Taoist Fang Xian." The man bowed and saluted.

The big man glanced at Tang Ning: "Are you from the Three Vertical and Seven Alliances?"

Tang Ning immediately took out the token and handed it to him with both hands: "Senior, this junior was originally a direct disciple of the 7th Regiment. During the battle of guarding the city wall, he got separated from his headquarters, and then accidentally broke into the Mangdang Valley, so he stayed in the 5th Regiment.

Column.”

"Until the day before yesterday, the Mubei demon broke through the formation, and the headquarters warship was destroyed by the monster. The junior once again lost contact with the team. He was about to return to Huangyuan Mountain, but he passed by here unexpectedly and was brought here by Senior Fang."

The man took the token into his hand with one move, confirmed his identity, and waved the token back to him: "Since you are a lost disciple, please stay here for now! Now the Mubei demon has reached the Huangyuan Mountains.

The Qianyuan Mountains are surrounded by groups, with their elite vanguard troops in front and the large army of demons mopping up behind."

"Now we are in a dilemma. We can only lurk down first, gather our strength, recruit the scattered disciples from each team, and then wait for the opportunity."

"Xue Ming, take him to the first team and settle him down."

"Yes." The man responded and led Tang Ning out of the stone room.

"Senior Xue, were you the ones who built the spirit-sealing formation and the external illusion formation here?" As the two were walking, Tang Ning couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.

"We arrived not long before you, so we didn't have time to build such a complex formation. These formations were built long ago so that when the team collapses in the future, the scattered disciples can have a refuge.

Therefore, we escaped from being hunted by monsters."

"Has it been built a long time ago? So, there is more than one such shelter on the island?"

Xue Ming said: "There must be dozens of places at least! I don't know the specifics. These shelters under the Spirit Sealing Formation were built secretly before. Only monks above the level of captain of the alliance know the specific location, and each alliance

I only know the corresponding one."

"The Spirit Sealing Array here is located between the two defense areas of our alliance. It is specially used for our team to take refuge. When we went to the Qianyuan Mountains, we found that the Demon Sect's vanguard brigade had surrounded the formation, so we hurried back to this place."

Tang Ning asked, "Where are your fleet's warships hidden?"

"The warship was destroyed long ago, and we ended up here because we were separated from the column. Otherwise, we would have retreated into the Qianyuan Mountains together with the rest of the column."

"I see." Tang Ning nodded and said, "Senior Fang Xian is staying outside just to gather the separated monks?"

Xue Ming said: "Uncle Tian sent many men to lurk in all directions of the formation. On the one hand, it is to observe the movements of the Mubei Brigade and provide early warning, and on the other hand, it is to recruit the separated disciples from each team."

"I am not boasting, fellow Taoist Tang. If it were not for the benevolence and righteousness of my master and his compassion for the innocent suffering disciples, I would not care about your life or death. You must know that putting you into this formation is taking a great risk.

If the Northern Demon notices this place, you know the consequences."

"Yes, I deeply appreciate the great virtue of Senior Tian."

While the two were talking, they walked through the corridor, came to the lobby, and came to a tall man.

Xue Ming said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, this is the disciple of the third column who was unable to escape. From now on, he will join your team and act with you."

"Okay." The man nodded and responded.

Xue Ming didn't say anything more, left the room and walked outside.

"Junior Tang Ning has met Senior Wang." Tang Ning bowed to the man.

"Sit down! No need to be polite. My name is Wang Yi, and these are brothers who were separated from the main team and passed by here. They were called to take refuge here." The man pointed to a few people beside him and said, "Let me introduce you.

, This is fellow Taoist Xunqing, formerly of the fifth column, and this is fellow Taoist Qiantang, formerly of the sixth column..."

Tang Ning and several others nodded to indicate that there were nine people in the entire team, including him, and they were all monks who had escaped from different teams.

Wang Yi continued: "Senior Tian considered that we are escaped disciples. Once this place is discovered by the Mubei demon, it is basically impossible to organize a large-scale and effective resistance, so everyone here is divided into several small teams.

If something unexpected happens, disperse and break out."

Tang Ning nodded, sat cross-legged on his left side, took out the elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp to restore the lost spiritual energy in his body.

……………

The silver arc shone, the majestic Lei Zi ship, and the high-level officials of Mubei's Third Army stood on the deck. Looking at the hazy red smoke ahead, Yuan You snorted slightly: "I didn't expect Xuanmen to be in a small place.

There are three large formations deployed on the small Cangyun Island, so we are well prepared!"

"This should be their last line of defense! As long as we break through this formation again, we can wipe out Xuanmen's main force stationed on this island." A man or two with gray hair beside him said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light shot out from the distance, revealing the figure of a man.

"Friend Chisong, how are you? What method should be used to break this formation?" Yuan You asked.

Chisong said: "As I expected, this formation is the Hunyuan Qi Bagua formation. There are eight formations in total, which are the eight spiritual attributes of light, darkness, mountain, lake, wind, thunder, cloud and Qi. Hunyuan is one."

, it has endless changes and is a very offensive formation.”

"To break this formation, a large number of manpower are needed to attack eight formations at once. Eight people are required to occupy each formation to see the formation's eye. The location of the formation's eye is also where the formation changes. It is extremely dangerous. At least it requires

There are sixty-four monks who are proficient in formations, and a large number of personnel are needed to protect them in case of accidents."

Yuan You said: "Immediately summon all the monks above the level of steward to this place."

"Yes." A man responded and turned into light and left.

"With our own manpower, if we want to break this formation, there will be a lot of casualties. In order to preserve our strength and avoid unnecessary casualties, I suggest a joint operation with the second army. Xuanmen is now the turtle in the middle. We can deploy slowly to ensure

It’s foolproof.”

"Okay! Fellow Taoist Chisong, you will still contact them on behalf of our three legions to find a way to break the formation."

"Yes." Chisong responded and turned into light and left.

Above the Qinghai Sea, the moon wheel hangs high, stars are densely covered, the Milky Way falls between the blue sea, and the ground is covered with stars.

A huge Tianling ship patrolled back and forth near Cangyun Island, driving slowly, and faint light came from the distance.

As time went by, the light gradually became clearer, and I saw a continuous line of large and small warships and chariots, with flags covering the sun and boats thousands of miles away.

Countless warships covered the sky and the sun, and as far as the eye could see, they were all shining warships, like a moving continent heading towards Cangyun Island.

A cannonball was fired from the Tianling ship, shot straight into the sky, exploded, and the huge airflow cloud bloomed into a black lotus.

The black lotus bloomed high in the sky, dazzling and dazzling, and could be seen thousands of miles away. Soon, several black lotuses bloomed high in the sky one after another, extending to Cangyun Island.

On top of the city wall, a round-faced man saw the light of the black lotus image, and his expression changed: "Quickly, go and inform the ministers that Xuanmen's reinforcements have arrived."

"Yes." Several people behind him responded and hurriedly turned into light and left.

……………

Between the blue sea and the blue sky, warships and chariots are overwhelming, stretching for thousands of miles, with lights of various colors shining, illuminating the night like day.

Silver arcs flashed, and several figures emerged from the majestic thunder carriage. The leader was a man with gray hair on his temples and a thin figure. He was Jiang Daode, the commander of the seventh legion of the Xuanmen Qingzhou Alliance.

Seeing the black lotus blooming in the sky, he frowned slightly: "It seems that Cangyun Island has been captured by the Mubei demon, so we are still a step too late!"

The man with a fair face on the back left said: "If the news is correct, the Mubei Allied Forces organized ten legions to go south this time, sending four legions to besiege Cangyun Island and Qiansha Island, and two more legions to serve as mobile troops.

.It is expected that the outer defense line cannot be defended. Fortunately, the fortifications on the island are complete and there are three lines of defense. I just don’t know how far it has reached."

A man with a broad forehead and a broad face on the right said: "When you arrive at Cangyun Island, you will know that Ruo Mubei Demon has only a small number of troops to defend the city, which means that it has not yet completely occupied the island. The fourth and fifth legions are still fighting with each other.

If they take the initiative and gather the masses, it means they have completely occupied the island."

A beautiful woman said: "If the Mubei demon has completely occupied Cangyun Island, then it is meaningless for us to support Cangyun Island. In order to avoid unnecessary battle casualties, I think it is better to wait for the support armies from other islands to arrive.

When it arrives, we’ll do the measurement again.”

Jiang Daodeman waved his hand: "It's too early to discuss the advance and retreat strategies now. Let's get to Cangyun Island first and then make plans! How far is it from Cangyun Island now?"

"About five to sixty thousand miles!" the woman replied.

"Here comes someone." The man shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, two figures on the deck flashed and came to him, bowed and said, "Uncle, what are your orders?"

"Pass my order. The first, second, third, and fourth columns will send elite forces to explore the road ahead. They must reach Cangyun Island before noon tomorrow."

"Yes." The two men responded and disappeared into the light.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, Fellow Daoist Su, could you please lead the capable team first, and I will lead the majority behind."

"Okay." The two responded.

"After you arrive at Cangyun Island, you can see that you are acting wisely. If Cangyun Island is only defended by a small number of troops, you will capture its defensive position to intimidate the Mubei demons and reduce the pressure on the fourth and fifth armies. If they are heavily defended,

, you just stay put and wait for the headquarters team to arrive before making any plans."

"clear."

………………

In front of the red smoke that filled the sky, Mubei's army was surrounded by black clouds, surrounding the entire formation. On the thunder carriage, a ray of light came out, and a bearded man with full cheeks appeared. He walked quickly to the third place.

The senior officials of the three legions bowed in front of them and saluted.

"My subordinates pay homage to you all. The patrol team outside the island sent out a signal flare. It is expected that Xuanmen's reinforcement team has arrived. Lord Fengqian sent his subordinates down to ask for instructions. How should we respond?"

After hearing this, several people frowned.
