Chapter 236 Something big happened
"Want to leave? Where to go!"

Seeing that Liu Jianxin was not fooled, He Li simply stopped pretending and went straight to the point of using his magic weapon, a cloud-patterned jade ruyi, to hit Fengyue Tianzhou head-on.

With a loud bang, the protective shield of Fengyue Sky Boat remained motionless, but the entire Sky Boat was knocked back!

The Maple Moon Sky Boat was driven by two Mulan slaves who were at the foundation-building stage, and they were simply unable to withstand the attack of the Golden Core!
The two Mulan slaves who were driving the Tianzhou with all their strength were suddenly beaten to the point of losing their blood circulation and bleeding at the corners of their mouths!

Upon seeing this, the other two Mulan slaves quickly injected their magic power together, and the four of them worked together to barely stop the retreat.

Seeing He Li use magic weapons to attack Fengyue Tianzhou, the passengers on the bus, most of whom were Qi Refining disciples, were suddenly shocked and shouted loudly.

After Fengyue Tianzhou was hit and its shield remained motionless, he finally calmed down.

Liu Jianxin was no exception. He was shocked at first, but when he saw that the Maple Moon Sky Boat's shield was fine and it was just knocked back, he immediately calmed down.

"Everyone sit down! Don't panic! There's no need to force the attack. No. 35, 36, 43, and 45, the four of you let go and attack him! He won't be able to break the shield for a while!" Liu Jianxin first comforted the guests, and then told the Mulan slaves not to force the attack. The Mulan slaves were all called by numbers.

Afterwards, Liu Jianxin typed a spell into the control token in his hand.
"whoosh"

Maple Moon Sky Boat popped out a message firework,
The fireworks went straight up to the sky, making a loud "bang" sound and bursting with dazzling light, which could be seen for hundreds of miles!
This was the weapon Sun Zecheng saw Elder Cao of Huayi Sect using last time to send messages to people. He thought it was very useful, so he specially asked someone to go to Tiantian City to buy it. Although it is not as visible as the one used by Elder Cao, which can be seen within a thousand miles, it can still be seen within six or seven hundred miles.

It is installed on the Fengyue Sky Boat and is used exclusively for reporting and sending alarms in case of danger.

He Li was shocked when he saw the warning fireworks

However, this place is far away from Huangfeng Valley, a thousand miles away.

He Li was responsible for escorting Tianzhou on the southern route from Huangfeng Valley. There were no other patrol teams, and the patrols were only on the border of Yuanwu State.

I just don’t know what’s going on with the Yanyue Sect.

But this is not something He Li can control. The only way is to leave here quickly!

Thinking of this, He Li became anxious and quickly used magic to push the Tianzhou towards the Taiyue Mountains in the northwest.

It is said that the full power of the golden elixir is much faster than the foundation building.

……

While the elders from the three sects of Yuanwu Kingdom were heading north, Elder Tang from Yanyue Sect also returned to Yanyue Sect to report the situation and ask the supreme elder Wu to make a decision.

After listening to Elder Tang's report, Elder Wu did not hesitate:

"Go back and tell Sect Master Sun that our Yanyue Sect and Huangfeng Valley will advance and retreat together."

"My Yanyue Sect betrayed us before, and I owed Huangfeng Valley. This time, I just want to pay him back. I don't have to feel guilty, and maybe I can live a few more years."

"As you command!" Elder Tang said goodbye.

After Elder Tang took his leave, Patriarch Wu thought for a moment and called Fairy Caixia and Fairy Nishang to be responsible for patrolling the north and south lines of Yanyue Sect respectively to strengthen vigilance.

The alarm fireworks were set off, and the colorful fairy who was in charge of patrolling the northern line naturally saw it.
Are the disciples of Huangfeng Valley calling for help?
what's the situation?
She quickly asked her subordinate disciples to return to the Yanyue Sect headquarters to report, and she went alone to check the situation.

……

He Li pushed the Tianzhou with all his strength, and after half a quarter of an hour, he stopped and cast a spell on the cloud-patterned jade ruyi.
The jade ruyi transformed into a large white cloud, which soon covered He Li and Fengyue Tianzhou, forming a huge flowing cloud that continued to slowly float towards the Taiyue Mountains in the northwest.

Quarter of an hour later, Fairy Nishang arrived at the place where the warning fireworks exploded and felt the remaining traces of magical fireworks, but there was nothing else!
Fairy Nishang used her spiritual sense to search and sense the surroundings, but found nothing.

What's happening here?
It took only 25 minutes from the time she saw the fireworks to the time she arrived at the scene. She found nothing around.

Is this the Nascent Soul monster from the Righteous Alliance who came to kidnap the disciples of the Huangfeng Valley?
If it was done by a Nascent Soul, her Golden Core cultivation would not be enough.

What to do?
After Fairy Nishang waited for several hours in a panic, Fairy Caixia finally received a report from the disciples of Yanyue Sect and came to support.

The two met and searched for a while, but still found nothing.

"What should we do?" asked Fairy Nishang.

“How about we go tell Huang Fenggu about this and let it be over with.” Fairy Caixia suggested.

"it is good!"

……

"Fairy Nishang saw warning fireworks in the Yellow Maple Valley?!"

"This is the alarm and distress fireworks of my Maple Moon Sky Boat in Huangfeng Valley! But today is not the day for the flight to depart."

Elder Huiming was shocked when he heard the news from Fairy Nishang.
Elder Du was in the market town, so Elder Huiming quickly called Elder Xu, brought a dozen foundation-building disciples and followed Fairy Nishang to the scene of the accident, and sent another foundation-building disciple to the post station to understand the situation.

When we arrived at the scene, we felt the remaining traces of magical fireworks and confirmed that there had been fireworks calling for help, but apart from that, there was nothing else!
There wasn't even any sign of fighting at the scene!

"The Fairy Rainbow came from the south and disappeared."

"We came from the north and disappeared."

"Then let's search separately in the east and west!" Elder Xu thought for a moment and searched again with Elder Huiming.

Got nothing.

However, the foundation-building manager who went to the post station brought accurate news:
An additional flight was indeed added that day, with Elder He personally escorting it and Liu Jianxin and four Mulan slaves piloting it. There were more than 400 people on the Tianzhou.

After calculating the time, it was obvious that this flight had an accident!
A Jindan elder and more than 400 guests disappeared.
Something big is going on!

Elder Huiming and Elder Xu met and discussed it, and Elder Xu flew directly to Lingshou Mountain to report to Master Sun.

……

It was already the fourth day since the Tianzhou accident when Sun Zecheng received the report from Elder Xu.

"Fuck!" Sun Zecheng couldn't help but curse.

"The people from the Righteous Alliance have captured He Li!" Nie Ying's first reaction was that he was captured by the people from the Righteous Alliance.

"The Righteous Alliance moved so quickly!" Not only Nie Ying, but also Master Li Huayuan shared this opinion.

"What should we do now?" Nie Ying asked.

"Go to the Righteous Alliance to ask for the person!" Sun Zecheng said, looking at the blank space in front of him.

Just as we were talking about the Righteous Alliance, people from the Righteous Alliance arrived.

Two Yuanying auras came to the sky above Lingshou Mountain.

It was the same voice as that day: "Listen up, everyone! I am here on behalf of the Righteous Alliance to issue an ultimatum! Hand over He Li within seven days! Otherwise, the Righteous Alliance will crush the Kingdom of Yue in one month!"

The sound was like thunder, spreading throughout the Lingshou Mountain safe zone.

Sun Zecheng immediately flew into the sky, followed closely by Nie Ying, Li Huayuan, Elder Huang, Elder Xu and others.

In mid-air, through the protective shield, it was clearly seen that the other party was the scholar and Taoist priest from that day.

Sun Zecheng pointed at the two of them and shouted, "I don't care if you are from Haoran Pavilion or Taizhen Sect. Hand them back to me, or I will smash your Haoran Pavilion and Taizhen Sect!"

The sound was like thunder and spread throughout the entire safe zone.

"Haha, you have such an arrogant tone! You think you can be so arrogant just because you have a few high-level talismans! I would like to see how many high-level talismans you have. Do you dare to say that you can smash my Taizhen Sect?" The Taoist laughed in anger.

"Hand him back? What do you mean?" The scholar paid attention to Sun Zecheng's words.

"Pretend that He Li is missing?"

"Don't try that on me. I, the Scholar of the Golden Mirror, have seen this kind of trick many times!"

"Hand over He Li within seven days! Otherwise, our Righteous Alliance will crush the Kingdom of Yue in one month!"

Sun Zecheng said coldly: "The scholar of the Golden Mirror of Haoran Pavilion, right?"

"He Li was kidnapped, and there are more than 400 guests on Maple Moon Sky Boat. If you don't come to me, I will take you too!"

"You're giving me an ultimatum? I'm giving you one back!"

"Hand over all the people and the Tianzhou within three days, otherwise I will smash Haoran Pavilion in half a month!"

"Aren't you going to destroy my Taizhen Gate?" the Taoist said sarcastically.

"Don't worry, if you still don't hand it over after we smash Haoran Pavilion, your Taizhen Sect will be the next one!" Sun Zecheng said nonchalantly.

"Hahaha!" The Taoist laughed wildly as if he heard something funny. "I haven't heard such crazy words in many years." "Okay, okay! We at Taizhen Sect are waiting!"

"Well, you Taizhen Sect really have to wait." Sun Zecheng calculated and said seriously.

Isn’t it? The Star Picking Competition in Chaos Star Sea is about to begin, and I have to pick stars and seize islands with Hao Yuantian!

After smashing Haoran Pavilion, it's probably about time.
The Star Picking Contest is held once every 100 years, but here we can go to smash Taizhen Gate anytime, even a few months later, but don't we have to wait?

Of course, when the Taoist heard what Sun Zecheng said, he burst into laughter again.

"We'll come back in seven days!" The scholar with the golden mirror said this and prepared to leave.

"It doesn't take seven days. If you don't hand over the people and Maple Moon Sky Boat within three days, your Haoran Pavilion will be smashed!"

……

"Something is wrong. Haoran Pavilion captured He Li, so why are they coming to ask for him again?" Nie Ying asked with a frown.

"Find an excuse to expand and annex our Yue Kingdom." Li Huayuan said.

"They all make sense." Sun Zecheng said.

"They all make sense? What does that mean?" Nie Ying asked.

"What you said is a little bit wrong and it makes sense. What Master said about the Righteous Alliance wanting to annex the Kingdom of Yue also makes sense."

Now not only Nie Ying was confused, but also Li Huayuan, Elder Xu, and Elder Huang were all confused.

"Elder Xu, please tell us what happened again."

Elder Xu then recounted what he had heard.

"Something is wrong." Sun Zecheng has calmed down.

"If the Righteous Alliance knew that He Li was not at Lingshou Mountain but at the post station, they should have gone to the post station to arrest him first, or maybe they did both at the same time."

"Now it seems that the flight date is wrong. I just asked He Li to come back. I didn't ask for an additional flight."

More and more questions arise.

"Why did Elder He ask for an additional flight?" Nie Ying asked.

Sun Zecheng had a vague guess in his mind at this time.

"I'm going to the scene. While I'm not at Spirit Beast Mountain, you all should activate the protective formation and defend carefully."

"Yes, sir!" Elder Huang and Elder Li said in unison.

"Also, Elder Huang, gather the prisoners who know how to tame beasts. I'll pick a few of them later."

"Yes, sir!" Elder Huang replied.

……

"Everyone listen up, if anyone is good at taming beasts and tracking animals and is willing to serve me, raise your hands!"

The prisoners below raised their hands enthusiastically, and in the end most of them raised their hands.

We are all human beings. After surrendering and being captured, we have done a lot of hard labor and have long lost our so-called integrity and backbone.

"So many people raised their hands?" Sun Zecheng thought for a moment and added a condition: "The companion beast must be able to burrow underground."

Suddenly there was a lot less.

"Who among you has the best companion beast at tracking scents?"

Everyone looked at an ugly man in the middle stage of foundation building.

"What's your companion beast?"

"Level 3 Python Wild Mountain Flying Snake."

Yes, snakes don’t have good eyes and ears, so they only have a sense of smell, so snakes have a particularly sharp sense of smell.

"Okay, pick four more people with good tracking skills and follow me."

"Report!" The ugly man did not move, but reported loudly.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Our companion beasts have been confiscated long ago." said the ugly man.

"Oh, I forgot about that. It's easy. Once you've chosen your people, go get your companion beasts."

"Thank you, senior! There is one more thing."

"Say it all at once," Sun Zecheng said impatiently.

"The companion beast's food was also confiscated. I hope it can be returned. Also, is there any reward for completing the task?" asked the ugly man.

"You are a prisoner of war, and you dare to negotiate with me when I spare your life?" Sun Zecheng asked back.

"To answer your question, senior! We train animals. If the animals don't obey, we will beat them. If they do well, we will reward them. If we don't beat them, it's not good. If we don't give them rewards, the animals won't be active in the next mission. This is true for animals and humans alike."

"Hahaha, interesting! What's your name?" Sun Zecheng asked with great interest.

"Zhong Jun," the ugly man replied.

This name is a perfect match for this ugly face.

"Okay, you have a point. There is a reward. As long as you find the target, there will be a reward!"

"Thank you, senior! Where is the food for the spirit beast?" Zhong Jun did not continue to ask about the reward, but asked about the food for the spirit beast.

"How about these two?" Sun Zecheng took out a bottle of "Spirit Feeding Pills" and a bottle of "Spirit Beast Strengthening" produced in Luanxing Sea from his storage bag, and flew towards Zhong Jun with his hand.

Zhong Jun took the bottle, opened it and smelled it, and said happily: "Soul Feeding Pills! Great!"

Then he opened another bottle and smelled it, and exclaimed, "This one is even better! What's it called?"

"Maple Forest Pavilion has just developed it secretly and it doesn't have a name yet." Sun Zecheng said nonsense.

"Okay, quickly choose someone to lead the spirit beast."

"I can do it alone!" Zhong Jun obviously wanted to take all the credit.

"It's not up to you to decide how many people it is or whether it works or not!"

"Yes! As you command!" Zhong Jun quickly picked four people, all of whom were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and went together to retrieve their original companion beasts.

"Elder Xu, please wait here with them. I will come to pick you up later."

Sun Zecheng returned to his own cave first.

"Yingying, you and Ruyin stay here. The defense of Spirit Beast Mountain depends on you."

"Don't worry, my husband. Nie Ying swears to live and die with Spirit Beast Mountain!"

"Fool! What a depressing thing to say about living and dying together! You are wearing a lapis lazuli robe and a red maple battle suit underneath. Unless you encounter a monster with brute strength, no one can hurt you. You are simply invincible!"

Sun Zecheng took out a small storage bag:
"Take these 2,000 high-level talismans. Remember to paralyze the enemy first and trap them. Once they are trapped, they will die no matter who they are!"

"Trap the enemy first, Nie Ying understands!"

"Xuan'er, drive the car, Ruyin, get out a teleportation array. I want to set up one to Huangfeng Valley!" The teleportation array should have been set up between Lingshou Mountain and Huangfeng Valley long ago.

"Okay!" Xuan'er responded happily and summoned her flying car which turned into a white cloud.

Pick up Elder Xu and five other prisoners of war including Zhong Jun.

The Baiyun armored chariot flew northward at lightning speed, leaving a trail of shadows in the sky.
