In the afternoon, in a certain underground hall of Fort Tai Tian.
The hall was circular in shape, about a thousand feet in size. It was quite spacious, with over a hundred stone chairs placed around it, surrounding an empty space in the middle.
At this moment, a small half of the chairs were occupied by Jin Guangjun cultivators dressed in green armor. Liu Ming and Xiaowu were among them.
Most of them were in groups of three to five, discussing something in low voices. There were also a few people who were meditating with their eyes closed.
"Everyone here should be the members of this special operation team. Some of you look unfamiliar," Liu Ming casually glanced at the people around him and said softly.
"Speaking of which, even though Younger Brother Liu has been in the Evil Spirit realm for five years, he's still considered a newcomer in the army, so it's not strange that he doesn't recognize them. Among the people here, some of them are the squad leaders of Jin Guangjun's teams, while the rest are mostly False Core stage powerhouses. The longest among them has been in the Evil Spirit realm for over a hundred years. Not only have they made great contributions to the army, some of them even participated in the war against the Ghost army a hundred years ago, "Xiaowu smiled and explained to Liu Ming.
Just at this moment, a series of loud footsteps came from afar. A handsome silver-haired young man slowly walked into the hall and stood in the middle of the empty space between the stone chairs.
"I'm Cao Zhanghe, the temporary squad leader for this operation," the silver-haired young man slowly scanned the crowd with his eyes and nodded with a slight smile.
"Brother Cao, I didn't expect the higher-ups to send you here, I thought you'd already left the Evil Spirit realm," a middle-aged man with curly hair hurriedly stood up and respectfully clasped his hands together.
The rest of the people also stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet him.
It seemed that this silver-haired young man was quite famous.
"This is a critical time, so there's no need for pleasantries. Let's get straight to the point. I'm sure you've all heard that the scale of the Evil Spirit army's attack this time is unprecedented. Over the past few days, the four main cities had been besieged one after another, and the situation was very grim. Although the Fort of Peaceful Heavens hasn't been attacked yet, considering how important this place is, if it falls, all communications with the four capital cities will be cut off. When that happens, it's very likely that we'll be attacked one by one. Therefore, we can't afford to be complacent. "
The silver-haired youth, Cao Zhanghe, gestured for everyone to sit down. After a pause, he continued solemnly.
"According to the discussion of the Celestial Phenomenon Elders here, we have a clear division of labor for this battle. Once the battle began, Jin Guangjun's forces would be in charge of protecting Fort Peaceful Sky. It would be the outermost barrier of the fort. As for our squad, not only will we be in charge of the formation, but we will also be in charge of the fort's elite troops, ready to attack at a moment's notice. Our target will be the high-ranking commanders of the Evil Spirit army. "
"Senior Martial Brother Cao, activating the Great Golden Light Formation requires a great deal of manpower. As far as I know, Jin Guangjun only has a few dozen cultivators, including us. Even if we expend a great deal of resources to activate the formation, I fear we won't be able to maintain it for long," a beautiful young woman said with a doubtful expression.
"There's no need for you to worry about this. Haoran Academy will have a few Fellow Daoists in charge of strengthening the Great Golden Light Formation. The Golden Light Mirror was given to you a few days ago, so I'm sure you've already finished refining it. Next, I'll explain the general situation of the formation. " As the cultivator surnamed Cao spoke, he flipped his hand and a ball of golden light flew out. It condensed in the air and turned into a foot-long golden mirror. As the golden light flowed, it illuminated the entire underground hall.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's heart stirred. He flipped his hand and a palm-sized golden mirror appeared in the center of his palm. Its surface was faintly flowing with spiritual light, appearing to be full of spirituality.
He played with the mirror in his hand and quickly went through the information about the Great Golden Light Formation in his mind.
The Great Golden Light Formation was based on the Bowl of Good Fortune. It was a large formation that combined offense and defense. The Bowl of Good Fortune shot out a beam of light, which was then refracted by the golden mirror, forming a golden formation net that could disperse ghosts in a large area.
The Great Golden Light Mirror was a rather special top-grade spirit artifact. The mirror was engraved with many refraction and amplification restriction formations. Through a certain combination of formations, the pillar of light shot out by the Bowl of Good Fortune could be maximized.
However, this formation also had an obvious shortcoming, which was that it could not be activated for too long each time. This would cause gaps in the golden light to appear.
"The Golden Light Array is a series of chained arrays. Every six people will form a small array eye. There are 36 layers of chained imprisonment, which can maximize the power of the entire array. The center of the entire array is where the big and small array eyes overlap. It is the key to the entire array, and I will be in charge of it. This is the method to set up this formation. You must memorize it by heart. " The silver-haired man explained to the crowd in a calm tone. At the same time, he waved his sleeves, and streaks of white light flew out in all directions and landed accurately in the hands of the people present. They were Jade Slips that shone with white light.
"This Golden Light Array is quite mysterious, and its power is boundless when it is completely activated. I suggest that we practice it before the war to maximize the effect of this array." Liu Ming's Divine Sense quickly swept through the White Jade Slips in his hand and suggested.
"This must be Junior Martial Brother Liu, who just joined the sect not long ago. You are right, but this array consumes a lot of spiritual power. Now the ghost army is restless outside and may launch an attack at any time. There is no time for us to practice anymore. You should memorize the contents of the Jade Slips first. When it is time to use it, I will arrange the specific positions. "The silver-haired man said to Liu Ming with a smile when he heard the words.
"Brother Cao is right." The curly-haired middle-aged man was the first to agree.
Following that, the rest of the people agreed in unison.
Therefore, after everyone discussed for a while and confirmed some specific plans, they also left one after another.
Liu Ming didn't have too many doubts. He was about to leave with Xiaowu, but he was stopped by the silver-haired young man.
"Younger Brother Liu, I have heard about your performance in the Sect. Although you are still in the Fake Pellet State, your real strength is not weaker than Jin Dan. However, this war is different from some of your previous missions. In the face of a large scale ghost army, no matter how strong you are, you must be careful. Remember not to be too eager to fight during the raid mission. "The silver-haired young man said earnestly.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Cao for reminding me!" Liu Ming cupped his fist and walked out of the hall.
"This man's breath is steady, and the faint spiritual power fluctuation is not comparable to ordinary Fake Pellet State cultivators. He is really extraordinary. Elder Yao is right." The silver-haired young man murmured to himself after watching Liu Ming leave.
…
At the top of the main tower of Golden Light City, in a closed room.
On the floor of the room, a circular array was outlined by countless spirit patterns. There were runes floating above the array, glowing with a faint green light.
The old man surnamed Yao and a gray-haired man stood side by side in the corner of the array, their bodies covered by a faint green light.
In the other three directions of the formation, three walls of light that were also emitting a faint green light appeared. On each wall of light, one or two figures appeared.
"Elders, what do you think of the battle just now?" The voice of the old man surnamed Yao suddenly sounded, and his eyes slowly swept across the three light walls.
The people who appeared here were all the leaders of the four major legions in the Evil Ghost Path, and they were all great cultivators of the Celestial State.
"Although we won a complete victory, it was a bit too easy … I think everyone has the same feeling, right?" On the leftmost light wall stood an elder of the Nature Work Sect. He was a middle-aged man with white hair and a slender figure.
"Well, I think so too." On the right light wall, the Celestial State Elder of the Haoran Academy was a handsome man in his thirties. He was dressed in a scholar's robe, and there was a red dot between his eyebrows, like a beauty mark in the secular world.
"Aren't you two thinking too much? Our four major legions have made full preparations for this war for decades. Although we won easily, it is actually within common sense. " On the middle light wall, there were two figures in the costumes of the Demon Mystic Sect standing side by side. The one who spoke was a black-robed young man with long eyebrows on the left. He seemed to be the youngest among all the people present. Beside him stood a middle-aged beautiful woman in her forties.
"Everyone has been in the Evil Ghost Path for many years. You all know the strength of the Evil Ghost Legion. It definitely won't be so weak." The old man surnamed Yao shook his head and said.
"Could it be that Brother Yao has noticed something? Please enlighten us. " The middle-aged beautiful woman glanced at the long-eyebrowed young man next to her, and she seemed to be dissatisfied. She turned to look at the old man surnamed Yao.
The long-eyebrowed young man frowned, but he seemed to be quite afraid of the middle-aged beautiful woman, so he didn't say anything.
"I dare not, it's just that in this first battle, although the number of Evil Ghost Legion attacking Golden Light City is large, there don't seem to be many commander level ghosts. Otherwise, we won't be defeated so easily." The old man surnamed Yao said lightly.
"Oh? Does Brother Yao have any clue about the Evil Ghost Legion's plot? "The middle-aged beautiful woman raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Madam Qi thinks too highly of me. I also have no clue. It's just a guess in my mind." The old man surnamed Yao shook his head and smiled.
"Hmph!" The black-robed young man with long eyebrows snorted coldly. His expression seemed quite disdainful.
The old man surnamed Yao's eyes flashed, but he still maintained a faint smile on his face as if he had never heard the black-robed young man's snort.
Seeing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman's face sank. The green light wall suddenly became blurred, and she couldn't see what was happening inside.
The rest of the people were silent when they saw this.
After a while, the green light wall where the Demon Mystic Sect was located was restored to its original state, revealing the figure of the long-eyebrowed young man and the middle-aged beautiful woman again. However, the long-eyebrowed young man looked a little unnatural. He just stood aside with his hands down and didn't speak.
"My junior fellow apprentice has just advanced to Celestial State not long ago. He is a little arrogant. I hope Brother Yao doesn't mind." The middle-aged beautiful woman said with a slight apology.
