Tempered Immortal

Chapter 469
"Could it be that the major sects in the hinterland of Youzhou didn't come to the rescue?" Lin Xuan's face darkened, and he asked in disbelief.

"Senior, I don't know that ghosts have planted spies in our world of cultivating immortals, so don't think about the time they choose to attack." Luo Tianren shook his head and sighed, his face full of bitterness.

"You mean..." Lin Xuan's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed something.

"Senior expected well. When Ghost Luo City was besieged by countless ghosts, the righteous and the devil also launched an unprecedented battle in Tianxia Mountain. Leaving aside the low-level disciples, the number of monks above the foundation stage invested by both sides reached tens of thousands. There are so many, not only the masters of the Condensation Stage, but even a few seniors of the Nascent Soul Stage personally shot..."

"What?" Lin Xuan was horrified. He didn't expect that during the time he was away, the situation would change rapidly. Back then, there was a small fight every three days, and a big fight every five days. But generally speaking, it was still a trial. As far as the situation is concerned, it can be said that they are evenly matched, so they are avoiding mutual losses. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the best of the best will come out, and you will be divided into life and death. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. Could it be the conspiracy of the ghosts, Lin Xuan thought secretly.

Seeing Lin Xuan closing his eyes and thinking, Luo Tianren didn't dare to disturb him, and stood aside with his hands tied.

After a while, Lin Xuan opened his eyes: "Go on."

"Yes!" The more Luo Tianren came into contact with this ordinary-looking boy, the more he felt that he was unfathomable, and his awe grew. He secretly guessed, could this person not be as young as he appeared, but someone who had practiced the face-retaining technique? The old monster swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Because the timing of Yinhun's ingenious selection, when the news arrived, the two major forces, righteousness and demons, were fighting fiercely, and their eyes were already red-hot. There was no way to separate them in a hurry. Therefore, Ghost Luo City was also inseparable from the beginning to the end. There was no rescue at all."

"So that's how it is." Lin Xuan finally figured out the whole story. Needless to say, this was definitely premeditated. It's not surprising when you think about it. Qijuetian's dark move alone has been buried for thousands of years by the opponent. The timing of this move was a coincidence, so naturally it made sense.

"What happened next?"

"Later?" Luo Tianren showed a sneer on his face, as if he still had resentment and dissatisfaction: "What else, after the fall of Ghost Luo City, the hinterland of Youzhou was exposed to the ghost's butcher knife, and the ghosts drove straight in, divided into three All the way into Youzhou, let alone mortals, they will naturally be slaughtered, and even fellow monks will suffer countless casualties."

"Is there no one who can resist for a while?" Lin Xuan also felt that something was wrong.

"Resist, how to resist? There are nearly ten thousand monks in Ghost Luo City, and there are even seniors in the Nascent Soul Stage like the red-haired ancestor sitting in the town, and eventually the city was destroyed. Other sect forces, big and small families, even Standing up to fight, is nothing more than a mantis arm blocking the car, and it has no effect at all, like our Chaoyang Gate, several elders from the Foundation Establishment Stage fell, and finally had to hide in this place, lingering on their last days."

"As for the righteous and the devil, after such a thing happened, I don't believe that they will still fight among themselves. No matter how deep the grievances are, and how irreconcilable their positions are, the fact that they are both human beings cannot be changed. .”

"Senior is right." Luo Tianren took a sip of tea, and sat down on a chair next to him: "The ghosts invaded, the catastrophe repeated itself, and the two major forces, righteousness and demons, have indeed put aside their opinions for the time being. However, the Tianxia Mountain battle It can be said that both sides suffered heavy losses, and it is said that hundreds of masters of their respective alchemy stages have lost their lives, and even a few seniors of the Nascent Soul Stage were also injured."

"This..." Lin Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard that, the Supreme Demon Venerable and the elders of the three giants were all cunning and cunning characters. He didn't expect to fall into the trap of the ghosts this time, and they suffered a lot.

"The power of righteousness and demons has been greatly weakened, and it is difficult to resist the sharpness of ghosts and monsters for a while. Besides, although they temporarily shake hands and make peace, the differences between them cannot be resolved in a short time, and they cannot form an offensive and defensive alliance. , The two major forces are fighting each other, the situation is not optimistic, and now one-third of Youzhou has fallen into the hands of ghosts."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. The situation is indeed bad, but it is God's blessing that he has not completely fallen.

After thinking about it for a while, he said curiously, "One-third, then this must be an occupied area. Why don't you move out, but miss this place instead? Could it be that your homeland is hard to leave?"

"Senior, you were joking. Of course no one in the homeland is willing to leave, but compared with life, it is nothing. The reason why we stay is because we have no choice." Having said this, Luo Tianren's face darkened, and he just sat in front of him. Beside him, Lin Xuan could feel the shocking resentment.

"As a last resort, what's going on?"

"Senior, I don't know. When the ghosts first invaded, many sects and Xiuxian families couldn't do anything. They really thought about the idea of ​​relocating, but..."

"what happened?"

"You also know that those of us cultivators who want to continue to improve our cultivation base not only need to establish a sect in the land of spiritual veins, but also need to consume a lot of spar herbs, and the resources of the world of cultivating immortals are absolutely necessary. Yes, although Youzhou is vast, all kinds of spiritual vein mines have long been carve up. In the past, each sect family had its own sphere of influence, and they were in a delicate balance. One part of the area was occupied, and hundreds of sects from the occupied area flooded into the other two-thirds of the area, which naturally brought endless conflicts. Here, the threat of ghosts has not been eliminated, and human beings have already competed for cultivation resources. Rekindling the flames of war..."

Hearing this, the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth couldn't help revealing a hint of sarcasm. It's true that people don't blame themselves, but such a short-sighted behavior is tantamount to digging their own grave.

"Don't righteous demons care?"

"No matter what, they regard themselves as defenders of order. In this case, they intervene to stop the monks from killing each other."

"That's great!"

"What a fart." Luo Tianren cursed in anger, and then reacted, his face was sweating profusely, and he took a peek at Lin Xuan, seeing that his expression was as usual, and he didn't intend to pursue it at all, so he was relieved : "I'm sorry senior, junior is rude."

"It's okay, just keep talking."

"Yes." Luo Tianren let out a turbid breath, calmed down his excitement, and then spoke again: "Zhengmo seems to be fair, and they came out to preside over the overall situation, but their roots are also here, and they are inextricably linked with the local sects Many of them chose to attach themselves to them before the war, so how could they be impartial in doing things and crowd out our foreign sects."
