"what?"

Hearing his words, the others were startled and raised their heads reflexively following his gaze.

It turned out that at some point, countless twisted and wriggling black threads gathered from all around and silently surrounded them all.

"Fuck, isn't this too much?"

This scene was clearly not so terrifying just now.

Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, but there were also these things behind them, and there was no way to retreat.

"Everyone be careful, don't get entangled by this thing. If anyone is controlled by it, knock them out temporarily."

Mu Qingzhou explained at a rapid pace.

In order to prevent the situation of being ambushed by friendly forces like before from happening again, he flicked a vine with his fingertips to wrap around the stunned disciple and protect him.

No matter what, these controlled disciples can still be saved. They are just controlled temporarily. Now we can only knock them out first and then make plans.

Mu Qingzhou originally wanted to cut those black threads directly as he did before, but failed in the end. Those things penetrated the flesh and blood of the unaware disciples without anyone noticing.

Anyone who approaches will be entangled by the suddenly extended and lengthened silk thread.

Several elves had no choice but to use vines to protect everyone tightly in the middle, but this was not a solution. The disciples who failed to react in time continued to be hit one after another.

Mu Qingzhou frowned and pulled back a disciple who was nearly entangled by the silk thread. At the same time, the spiritual energy in his palm condensed into a flash of cold light to cut it off.

Compared to attack, the Eldar are better at defense.

But there are just too many of these things, and they appear and disappear mysteriously.

In addition, there are so many Taiyi Sect disciples who have to guard against external threats as well as the situations of their companions around them.

Even they were unable to defend themselves in this chaos.

"..."

Grass.

No matter how calm Mu Qingzhou was, he almost couldn't hold it in.

He began to wonder whether he should knock everyone out and then wrap them up with vines.

Rather than waiting for them to be infected unknowingly, it is better to cut off the source in advance.

In this way, the disciples of Taiyi Sect don't have to worry anymore.

hiss.

Maybe this approach will work.

Just as the dangerous thoughts in Mu Qingzhou's mind were growing like a snowball, those silk threads that were almost covering half of the sky suddenly retreated.

A pale golden light rose from all around, temporarily isolating the silk threads.

"Elder?"

"It's Elder Xue!"

*

The eyes of the Taiyi Sect disciples, who were originally like headless flies in the chaos, suddenly lit up.

Exclamations came one after another, and the excitement in the tone could not be concealed at all.

An old man called 'Elder Xue' appeared and cut off the approaching threads in an instant.

He glanced at his disciples who were filled with excitement, and saw that the vines at the back had twisted into something that looked like a silkworm pupa.

Mu Qingzhou noticed his gaze and explained, "They seem to be controlled. To prevent any accidents, we have to knock them out temporarily."

Although he said that, he couldn't help but feel guilty when faced with the appearance of the other party's elder.

After all, he was just thinking in his mind about what method he should use to knock out all these Taiyi Sect disciples quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

Why do I suddenly feel like I've been caught in the act?

"You guys did a great job."

Unexpectedly, Elder Xue not only did not say anything about this, but instead praised them.

Facing the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he explained succinctly, "Now that this thread has turned black, it does have the ability to control people's minds. Even if the elder is careless, it will be difficult to break free."

"what?"

Someone was filled with despair upon hearing this, and said at a loss, "If even the elders can't defend themselves, then aren't we doomed this time?"

Elder Xue: "..."

There's no need to be so dejected.

His appearance just now saved everyone present in time. The silk threads were temporarily separated at this moment. Mu Qingzhou noticed the direction he was coming from and asked calmly, "So Elder Xue, what are you going to do?"

No wonder he was overly cautious.

The main reason is the current situation. The disciples they brought with them are relatively weak and cannot withstand any hardship. In addition, the situation in the sect is chaotic at the moment.

Elder Xue suddenly appeared alone at this moment. If someone had not recognized his identity before, Mu Qingzhou would have been on guard immediately.

After all, it’s really hard not to be suspicious about the changes that happened in Taiyi Sect this time.

They are not the naive disciples of Taiyi Sect, and they have never seen this elder.

Elder Xue briefly checked the status of these disciples. He soon heard the temptation in the other party's tone and smiled, "Don't be nervous. I just happened to pass by here and ran into you."

"Gu Xia contacted us just now, and I was just about to open the formation to facilitate their actions."

ha?

Mu Qingzhou was stunned for a rare moment, "What did you say?"

Open the formation?

Did he hear it correctly?

So the first reaction was, "Gu Xia has finally gone crazy?"

Elder Xue: "..."

So in just a few short days, the abnormal news spread by their relatives had already reached the ears of these spirit people?

He coughed and said, "That's not the way to say it."

Elder Xue tried to clear the name of his sect's direct disciple, "Xiao Xia, actually, she is quite normal when she is normal occasionally."

amount.

Mu Qingzhou also realized that he had actually said what was in his mind. He was a little embarrassed. Nan Shuang, who was standing beside him, immediately changed the subject when he saw this.

"Elder, are you sure Gu Xia meant to open the formation?" The girl frowned slightly, she really couldn't figure it out, "There are so many demons waiting outside, and there is also the Demon Lord, it's already a mess now."

"If we were to open the sect protection formation now..."

Although she didn't finish the rest of her words, Elder Xue already understood what she meant.

But there is no better way now. Since Elder Zhong Yi has instructed him so, he chooses to believe Gu Xia this time.

Elder Xue and Gu Xia also had frequent contact. He was the only elder in the sect who was good at formations. Every time the little devil was tinkering with the formation book, he would come to harass him from time to time when he encountered something he couldn't figure out.

I still have some preference for the genius Elder Xue.

Besides, this is also Gu Xia's sect. Although she has a somewhat eccentric personality, she will still be sensible at this critical moment of life and death for the sect.

It's impossible that he just acted on impulse.

Compared to these, Elder Xue would rather believe that she really has a way to break the impasse.

After all, this is the child I have been taking care of for several years, so I still have some trust in him.

Mu Qingzhou was silent for a moment.

Ok.

It can be seen that you are somewhat doting on Gu Xia.

Knew it.

Not only are the direct descendants of the Taiyi Sect not very normal, even the elders are not that normal either.

They believed such a risky method so easily?

So careless?

It's incredible.

……

at the same time.

Gu Xia had just finished talking with Elder Zhong Yi, and the next second he was immediately in contact with other disciples.

Shen Weixun was stunned for two seconds when he received her jade slip.

The young man's cold voice was filled with doubt, "Junior Sister?"

Gu Xia didn't have time to say anything more, so she went straight to the point, "Big Brother, how is the situation over there?"

"not too good."

Shen Weixun took a look at the shattered battlefield in front of him and told her truthfully, "Those seniors who came to help are no match for the Demon Lord. They are just barely holding on."

"During the time you were away, the Demon Lord did not continue to attack the formation. I could vaguely feel that he did not seem to use his full strength."

Otherwise, they might not have been able to hold on for so long.

Gu Xia was surprised by this, "What is he waiting for?"

The Demon Lord clearly looked like he was sure of victory, and his purpose of appearing was probably to enter Taiyi Sect, but at this moment he just watched his subordinates fighting while the demons rushed forward to die, and he himself was not in a hurry.

Of course, Gu Xia also knew very well that the Demon Lord would not care about the life or death of these subordinates.

After all, in the other party's eyes, everyone in the entire cultivation world is an ant except him.

The lives and deaths of a group of ant-like subordinates are not worthy of his attention.

Shen Weixun flipped the sword in his hand lightly, blocking the demonic knife that was coming towards him. The sword light cut the opponent's throat, and the blood splashed but was washed away by a stream of water.

The young man's body was still clean without a trace of blood. He thought carefully for a moment, and then answered seriously, "I don't know."

"Maybe they're waiting to see how we struggle to the death?"

In his impression, everyone in the demon clan seemed to have this kind of bad taste.

He could have just crushed the other person to death, but he chose to look down on them and enjoy their screams and wails.

Gu Xia: "..."

Big Brother, could you please not say such villainous remarks in such a bland tone?

She commented sincerely, "Then he is really a pervert."

Not far away, the Demon Lord, who was labeled as "pervert" by his two senior brothers and sisters, suddenly sneezed.

He couldn't help feeling a little confused.

what happened?

Gu Xia asked Shen Weixun to find a few sword cultivators next. "I have already made an agreement with Elder Zhong Yi. When the formation is opened, I need you, the eldest brother, to help stop the demons that are waiting for an opportunity to approach."

Shen Weixun lightly pressed the tip of his sword and said calmly, "Leave it to us."

He had no doubt at all about Gu Xia's words about asking Elder Zhong Yi to open the formation behind him.

With the tacit understanding between the senior and junior brothers and sisters, Shen Weixun immediately chose to cooperate with Gu Xia's plan. He glanced around, quickly found Xie Baiyi, and grabbed him.

"Come with me."

The sword flashed and was about to fall on his head before being quickly retracted. The young man held the hilt of the sword and gritted his teeth, "What are you doing?"

God knows he almost thought Shen Weixun was a demon and chopped him to pieces.

As we all know, there is a saying in the cultivation world that if you don't get close to a sword cultivator in battle, you will become unlucky.

If you are not careful, you might be killed instantly by the opponent's sword, thinking that you are an enemy who is attacking you by surprise.

This is definitely a dangerous element.

Shen Weixun's face was calm, "Junior Sister needs us."

Oh wow.

Xie Baiyi straightened his back calmly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Who would have thought that Gu Xia would still need them?

Such opportunities are rare.

He immediately became interested, and the two of them quickly called over several other sword cultivators. After learning that they were asked to help intercept the demons, the disciples had no objections.

The only question was quickly asked by Yu Heng in a hurry.

"Then how can we stop it?"

There was no time to say more just now, they were directly pulled over from various positions on the battlefield by Shen Weixun and Xie Baiyi.

Fortunately, some other monks came to help during this period, so even if a few disciples were temporarily missing, there were people who could quickly fill their places.

They don’t quite know how to do that yet.

Shen Weixun did not miss the confusion in the eyes of several people. He answered honestly, "Junior sister said that our sect's protective formation will be temporarily activated for a while. During this period, we need to guard various positions to prevent demons from taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

There is no one more suitable for this task than a sword cultivator.

When facing those ferocious and excited demons, the best way to intimidate them is to use the sword energy slashed out by sword cultivators.

Yu Heng was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

He stared blankly at the Taiyi Sect's formation, then turned his head blankly, and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement, "Wow."

"Do the elders of your sect know that Gu Xia did this?"

Shen Weixun nodded, indicating that all this had been approved by the elders.

"..."

The several sword cultivators from Lingjian Sect were all silent.

Ah this.

Has your elders' trust in Gu Xia reached such a blind level?

If this happened in their sect, anyone who dared to take such a risky move under such circumstances would definitely be beaten into a spinning top by the elders, right?

So the people of Taiyi Sect believed it so easily?

Yu Heng couldn't help but grumble, "When will our elders trust me as much as they trust Gu Xia?"

Although they are direct descendants, they are still juniors after all. It is okay under normal circumstances, but once they encounter such important events, they can only obey the arrangements of the elders.

I didn't expect that Gu Xia could actually arrange the elders of their sect in the opposite way. He really went against Tiangang.

As he spoke, the sourness in his words was about to overflow.

Grass.

He didn't say who envied him.

"You should think about it."

Xu Xingmu curled his lips at the side, "Unless you can be as strong as Gu Xia."

"But with your current IQ, I don't think your elders will ever trust you so much in their lifetime. I suggest you just dream more realistically."

"???"

Yu Heng was furious, "Do you want to die?"

"Besides, isn't Gu Xia already a deity? What's so great about that?"

Believe it or not, he will still be as arrogant after he becomes a god.

Cen Huan gnashed his teeth and pushed him down, "Shut up, idiot, being a spirit is amazing."

What's more, can Gu Xia be an ordinary god?

She even dared to provoke the Demon Lord.

Cen Huan was really afraid that this stubborn guy would be beaten to death by the elders when he returned.

Learning everything will only harm you, idiot.
