Vol 3 Chapter 42: Zhou Wushan

The four disciples retreated to Tianzhu Peak to the north to rest, in preparation for the fierce fighting that followed.
After the Mozu captured Old Longtan, unexpectedly, they spent two days in Old Longtan. Instead of focusing their forces on the Thousand Demon Sand Sea, they went south from Old Longtan and left Tushan via the Canglan Rift. Instead, go straight to Yuanwu County through the Wuteng Sand Sea.
After the Yuanwu County City was destroyed, the remaining cities were unbearable for the defense of the six great Rakshasa. Millions of demons swept past like locust swarms, and there was no grass growing along the way.
The monks of the middle and small sects, if their hands and feet are a little slower, will be ruthlessly swallowed by the demons.
The demons only borrowed their way in Yuanwu County, turning from the northeast of Wutengshahai, swept across Mengshan and Gushan like locusts, and went straight to the northern wasteland...
There was only a piece of wreckage left in Old Longtan.
In Laolongtan, ten Fazhen realm experts, more than a hundred Yuandan realm strongmen, more than 500 Tianyuan realm strongmen, more than 40,000 womb-returning monks, and 60% of the disciples of the Northwest Territories.
The Shenxiao Sect was destroyed, and at the same time the Old Longtan was defeated, and the sect forces in the Northwest Territory suffered a disaster.
Yuan Wuhou Mansion has always known the way to protect oneself. After the dilapidation of the Shenxiao Sect, its power expanded rapidly. At one time, there were more than 4,000 monks above the womb level under the command and affiliated sects.
In order to control the dominance of the Duhu Mansion, Jiang Wei put the three thousand elites of Yuan Wuhou Mansion and its affiliated sects under the control of the Duhu Mansion. In the end, fewer than 300 people survived.
After Jiang Bin lost the Kuilong battle flag, there were fewer than 50 soldiers left in the 300 black armored generals under his direct command.
Jiang Bin didn't stay in the sand sea of ​​Thousand Demon for a long time. After the main force of the Demon Race withdrew from Old Longtan, he led the remaining black armored generals to leave sadly and returned to Tushan Nanling.
As for the various things that happened during the battle of Qianmoshahai against the evil formation, no one mentioned it again.
Before the war, the Four Sects and the Canglan Hou Mansion had more than two thousand monks in the womb-returning realm, and less than one thousand remained after the war.
There are many sects in the Northwest Territory, only supported by one or two Yuandan realm strongmen. After the epidemic, the sects will be completely defeated. Many of them are the outer forces of the original Shenxiaozong. Attached to Four Sects and Canglan Hou Mansion...

By the time Tao Jinghong followed Ce Tianfu's second batch of reinforcements into the Northwest Territory, the Mozu was already five or six thousand miles away from the Northern Wilderness Extremity, and stopped in a extremity called Heiyinling.
Heiyinling itself belongs to the land of extreme cold and yin. It was the lair of the Thousand Demon Sect four thousand years ago, and it was also the ancient battlefield where the Ji clan of the previous dynasty eliminated the Thousand Demon Sect.
In the previous dynasty Ji family elite and disciples of the Thousand Demon Sect, hundreds of thousands of people were buried in Heiyinling, and countless lives, souls and dead souls, unable to turn into reincarnation, drifted in Heiyinling all day long.
Heiyin Ridge has long evolved into the land of Xuanyin and extremity, thousands of vertical and horizontal mountains and valleys, breeding a large number of poisonous fog and evil miasma, devouring souls, killing humans and beasts, and even breeding a large number of ghosts, it is the Northern Territory. The most well-known forbidden territory.
After the Demon Race captured Old Longtan, a large number of monks and disciples who could not break out became the Demon Race's great remedy. The demon clan followed from Yuanwu County to the north, and many signs confirmed that the demon commander Chi Huo Ming and many of the demon-level demon generals under him had most likely recovered their cultivation.
And the Black Yin Ling that pervades all day long Xuan Yin Jue Sha, can replace the Demon Sha, so that the Demon Race can survive in Yunzhou.
A month later, Chen Xun, Chang Xi, Zhao Chengen, Gu Chengzhuo and others, led more than a hundred monks and four mysterious chariots, rushed to Zhou Wushan on a pontoon to gather.
Zhou Wushan stretches for thousands of miles, separated from Heiyinling by a desert with a width of seven or eight thousand miles.
Zhou Wushan has a lot of spiritual vein resources, but it is an extremely cold place. The surrounding area is sparsely populated for 30,000 to 40,000 miles, and the few wild beasts in the mountain are unusually powerful.
Practicing, people are wealthy.
Zhou Wushan only has spiritual resources, and there is no large population around it to provide a large number of disciples with excellent qualifications, and without the secular society to provide enough tribute, it is naturally far from being able to support the powerful sect to stand here.
Previously, there were a lot of casual cultivators and dozens of small and medium sects in Zhou Wushan, but under the sweep of a million demons, they were all overwhelmed by wind and rain, leaving only two to three hundred monks without a place to stay.
At this moment, Zhou Wushan gathered tens of thousands of monks, facing Heiyin Ridge.
Although the demons stormed the old Longtan, they paid a very heavy price, but at this time, the low-level monsters who retreated to the deadly land of Heiyinling would not be less than two million. There are about fifty demon-level demon generals who are less than one thousand, who have recovered their cultivation base, and whose strength is comparable to those of the magic phase realm...
If Ce Tianfu hadn't fully prepared, relying on the seven heavenly and human realm real monarchs gathered at Zhou Wushan at this time, and more than 60 Dharma realm real humans, the odds of winning the Heiyinling would not be higher than 30%.
Zhou Wushan gathered strong people in the heaven and human realm and Dharma realm, not to mention Chen Xun, even Chang Xi and Zhao Chengen became insignificant small characters.
It was just that Chen Xun and the others were inconvenienced to leave without permission. They could only find a valley at the western foot of Zhouwu Mountain and lead the crowd to temporarily settle down.

One day, the true master Chu Yue from Xuandu rushed to the Xilu Valley to meet Chen Xun.
Thousands of demon Shahai fought side by side, Chu Yue came to visit, Chen Xun was very enthusiastic and invited him to sit and drink tea in the animal hide tent.
"Heiyinling is the land of Xuanyin, where ghosts and demons retreat into Heiyinling, like a fish in water. The monks of all sects want to attack Heiyinling. The casualties will be extremely heavy. I think Ce Tianfu and all the sects are not necessarily Can have this determination." Chu Yuezhen said.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Chen Xun's mouth. Ce Tianfu really had to make a decisive determination. A year ago, he should gather so many powerful people in the heaven and human realm and Dharma realm to solve the problems of Moxukou in one fell swoop, and the situation would not be dragged down like this.
However, hundreds of thousands of miles away in Yunzhou, the powerhouses of the heavens and humans are mainly concentrated in the six sects. The fire has not yet burned the eyebrows of the six sects, and there is no great temptation to benefit. Who is willing to disturb the sky that has been cultivating for many years? A strong human, venture to the Northwest Territory to slay monsters?
Now the eyebrows are burning, but if you want to attack Heiyinling, you must be prepared to sacrifice two or three strong celestial realms.
Don’t say that these celestial and human realm powerhouses themselves are god-like beings standing on top of all living beings. They may not have the thought of protecting the common people in their hearts. For the six sects, the fall of any celestial human realm powerhouse is all It is a fatal loss, and it may lead to the collapse of the entire sect. It may not be that some people are willing to take a risk.
After the Supreme Elder Kuan of the Xuantu Sect returned to Xuandu Mountain for meditation, the other two Celestial Realm True Sovereign and the Master Yang Kun were all ordered by the Tianfu Talisman, and they all arrived at this time. Zhou Wushan.
Xuantu taught so many powerful people to gather in Zhou Wushan, obviously not intending to capture Heiyinling and kill the demons regardless of casualties.
Chen Xun could also guess from the meaning of the real person Chu Yue, that the meaning of Ce Tianfu and the sects is mostly to use Xuandu Sect as the core to construct a defense line in Zhouwu Mountain, as far as possible to block the millions of demons in the black Yin ridge.
Xuandu Sect is the first in the Northern Territory. From Zhou Wushan to the southeast, Xuandu Sect's sphere of influence. After the Northwest Territory is disabled, only the Northern Xuandu Sect has the ability to transfer one or two real monarchs of the Heaven and Human Realm to sit in Zhou Wushan. Strength.
Chen Xun asked Chu Yue, "Have Ce Tianfu considered why the Demon Race chose to retreat to Heiyin Ridge? The battles of the Thousand Demon Sand Sea and the Old Dragon Pool, many signs show that the Demon Race's plan is quite thorough, but Yunzhou Passive everywhere..."
"Heiyinling was originally the gate of the Thousand Demon Sect. After the capture of Heiyinling by the Ji family, it quickly declined and was replaced by the Xiwu Emperor. After hundreds of years of chaos, Yixu was renewed. Established. When everyone has time to turn their eyes to Heiyinling, Heiyinling has been filled with poisonous mist and miasma, breeding powerful ghosts. In Heiyinling, there may be hidden caves of the Thousand Demon Sect that have not been discovered by Ji; and four thousand years ago The space fissure sealed by the Ji clan is in the depths of Heiyin Ridge. The demons retreat through Heiyin Ridge. Perhaps they want to lift this seal and open a second passage to the Thousand Demon Realm in Yunzhou..."
Chen Xun nodded, thinking that under Jiang Mingtai, the master of the Celestial Palace, no one of the six powerhouses was not scheming. He really didn't have to worry about the intent of the demon clan.
At this time, it seems that the second possibility is extremely high, but it is definitely not an easy task for the Mozu to lift the seal of the heaven and earth magic circle under the Ji family.
Even if the Demon Race can lift the seal of the Heaven and Earth Array under Ji's cloth, and want to form a stable space channel in this space crevice, it will not be easy to re-arrange the Heaven and Earth Array of different natures.
Ce Tianfu hoped that the Xuantu Sect would establish a defense line in Zhou Wushan and hold on for a long time, to consume the demons to a certain extent, and then launch a strong attack, which is a safe expedient.
Gu Chengzhuo borrowed his lazy waist and said, "From this point of view, we can go back right away..."
Seeing real Chu Yue hesitated to say something, Chen Xun asked, "Senior Chu Yue, what else does Chen Xun have to say?"
"In the battle of the Thousand Demons in the Sand Sea, the Black Thunder Chariot and the Mountain River Chariot did their best, and the imprints left on everyone are extremely deep. The Xuantu teaches to change the method of refining, and I don’t know what the Kuilong Pavilion urgently needs. "Chu Yue asked the real person.
"The Northwest Territory Protectorate has cracked the refining method of gathering spirits, and can refining a complete mountain and river chariot. How can the Xuantu Sect stay near and seek further?" Chen Xun asked curiously.
Although several refining masters in the Duhu Mansion of the Northwest Territory were not spared from the disaster, the Yuan Wuhou Jiang Wei himself was the refining master, and he must have mastered all the refining methods of the Bazhushanhe chariot.
At this time, Ce Tianfu was counting on Xuantu Sect to establish a defense line at Zhou Wushan. As long as Xuantu Sect made a request, Cetianfu would hand over the entire eight-pillar mountain and river chariot refining method. Chen Xun couldn’t think of why Xuantu Sect still wanted it. Refining the chariot without getting near and far, and finding the Kuilong Pavilion for things?
"Before the ancestor of Kuan returned to the sect for meditation, he also said that he hoped to cooperate with Kuilong Pavilion," said Chu Yuezhen, "In addition, when the old Longtan fell, including my Xuandu Sect, there were more than a dozen refiners To be spared, Kuilong Pavilion may be needed to help refine a batch of chariots..."
Lao Long Tan suffered a fiasco and suffered great losses in all aspects.
Yuan Wuhou Jiang Jian, who wanted to monopolize the south and north ridges of Tushan Mountain, moved the only heaven and earth array in the northwestern region to Laolongtan, and wanted to build Laolongtan into the core of Yuanwuhou’s mansion. Later, it was refined by the guard mansion. Mountain and river chariots, magical weapons, and magical formations are almost all concentrated in Laolongtan. Including Yuanwuhou Mansion, almost all the refining masters and disciples of Duhu Mansion in the Northwest Territory have lost their lives...
This rises and the other disappears, and Kuilong Pavilion has become the first sect of refining artifacts in the Northwest Territory, although even a magic artifact above the ground level cannot be refined.
Chen Xun plans to focus on refining Xuan Lei Chariot and Qingyan Lotus Arrow in the future, and Chen Xun plans to focus on refining Xuan Lei Chariot and Qingyan Lotus Arrow. Other magic weapons and magic formations can be exchanged with other sects with Xuan Lei Chariot.
In this case, Kuilong Pavilion can refine eight to ten Xuan Thunder chariots in one year.
Although this speed is still far behind the peak of the Dogo Mansion, it is also extremely impressive.
Like other sects, the number of disciples and elders above the Tianyuan realm is rare in the Xuandu Sect, and the total number is less than 400. The loss of one person is an irreparable loss, but there are more than 20,000 disciples at the return stage.
If there are enough mountains and rivers chariots and mysterious thunder chariots, this actually means that the total combat power above the Tianyuan realm of Xuantu Sect will increase five or six times...
In the battle of Thousand Demon Sand Sea, if the four disciples did not have forty black thunder chariots to cover their flanks, it would be extremely difficult to connect to the near-sharp formation without using the green flame lotus arrow.
Chen Xun naturally agreed to the Xuantu Sect’s request for cooperation. True person Chu Yue gathered six secret seals similar to the soul-locking seal from the storage bag and handed them to Chen Xun, saying, "You practice puppetry, these six The demon master soul may be of great use to you, even if it is the deposit paid by my Xuantu Teacher!"
The six secret seals were locked, four were the souls of the little demon generals, and two were the souls of the demon-level demon generals.
Thousand Demon Shahai captured the evil formation, and the four disciples obtained a total of eleven little demon generals, all of which were concentrated in Chen Xun's hands, but Chen Xun did not catch any of them.
Seeing that Zhu Yue actually took out two primordial spirits of the Heavenly Demon-level Demon General, Chen Xun knew that it must be True Monarch Ku'an's gain in Old Longtan, and he did not shy away at the moment and accepted it happily. R1058
