In a secret chamber in the main tower of Golden Light City, the elderly man and the grey-haired middle-aged man stood side by side in a corner of the formation with grave expressions on their faces.
The space in front of them was completely empty, and the entire formation on the ground was completely dim and devoid of light.
The grey-haired middle-aged man looked down at the formation beneath his feet with a dark expression, and said, "The transmission formation can't be activated. Could it be that... the True Sky Fortress has already fallen?"
"There are four Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants guarding the fortress, in addition to the elite disciples we sent earlier. Their overall strength is definitely stronger than our Golden Light City. Not to mention, they still have the Titan Sky Formation as their trump card. It's impossible for them to be breached so easily. The grey-haired middle-aged man was silent for a moment before replying with a grim expression, "The fortress has four Heavenly Phenomenon Stage beings guarding it, and in addition to the elite disciples that we've dispatched, they're only slightly more powerful than our Golden Light City.
"That's most likely the case. In that case, we'll be in a rather passive position. The situation outside the fortress is rather complicated, and we won't be able to send reinforcements anytime soon, "the grey-haired middle-aged man said with a nod.
"Our top priority right now is to find a way to inform Martial Uncle Huo Ye of this... However, all of our communication methods have been cut off, so how are we going to inform Martial Uncle Huo Ye of this?"
The grey-haired middle-aged man said, "When the True Sky Fortress was besieged, I decided to inform Martial Uncle Huo Ye of this after much consideration. The Black Peak Valley that he guards isn't far away from the True Sky Fortress, so if the fortress is in trouble, he'll be alerted. If he were to step in, the True Sky Fortress would be easily resolved. " The grey-haired middle-aged man smiled upon hearing this before flipping his hand over to produce a fist-sized piece of white crystal jade. The jade was glittering and translucent, and its appearance resembled that of a curled up insect. However, it appeared to be completely natural and didn't appear to have been carved in the slightest.
The grey-haired middle-aged man's gaze fell upon the white insect crystal jade in a puzzled manner, and he asked, "What is this?"
"You haven't been here for long, Brother Yao, so you don't know about this item. This is a transmission treasure that Martial Uncle Huo Ye refined using a special product of this place, Black Insect Jade. It has a pair of yin and yang jades, and it can be used to transmit messages using the Yin Qi of this place. When he left, he gave me one of the yin jades, and the yang jade is with him. However, this jade can only be used once in a short period of time. "
"Fortunately, you have considered it thoroughly. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble this time." Seeing this, the old man surnamed Yao let out a sigh of relief.
...
At the same time, the four legions stationed in the Fort of Peaceful Heavens were dispatched by the acting elders to and fro on the city walls. Apparently, they were in the middle of something.
It had been more than half a day since the stronghold had been trapped by the Mysterious Ghost Burial Formation. Even though there was a defensive restriction, the Yin Qi in the city had gradually thickened. Many of the disciples with low cultivation bases had already turned a little green and black.
At this moment, Xiao Wu and the other high-ranking disciples of the Golden Light Army were sitting cross-legged on the six high platforms of the Golden Light Formation. They were constantly injecting their supernatural power into the Golden Light Mirror in front of them. Under Cao Zhanghe's guidance, the mirror magnified the golden light released by the Good Fortune Bowl at the top of the pagoda and purified the Yin energy in the city.
Everyone was holding a top-grade spirit stone in their hands, and they were using the spirit stone to replenish their magic power, barely maintaining the transmission of magic power.
Not far away from the tower, in the main hall of the fortress, the red-nosed old man and the other three Celestial Phenomenon cultivators were standing in the great hall with heavy expressions on their faces. In front of each of them stood a disciple of their sect.
Opposite the old man with rosacea stood Liu Ming.
At this moment, although his face did not reveal the slightest change, his mind was spinning rapidly.
Being summoned by a Celestial Phenomenon Elder at this time was obviously not a good thing. But now that he was here, he could only wait and see.
In addition to him, the other three Celestial Phenomenon Cultivators were standing in front of them. One was a young man with a simple and honest face wearing the yellow armor of the Celestial Work Sect, one was a bearded man wearing the white armor of the Haoran Academy, and one was a masked woman wearing the black armor of the Demon Mystic Sect.
Judging from the magic power fluctuations emanating from the three people, they were all at the Jin Dan Stage. Among them, the simple and honest young man was at the middle Jin Dan Stage, and the other two were at the early Jin Dan Stage.
Liu Ming had some impression of these three people. They were strong captain-level disciples among the cultivators of the three major legions.
At this moment, the old man with the surname Fang of the Celestial Work Sect waved his hand and opened a yellow light that enveloped the entire hall.
Seeing the cautious expression of the old man with the surname Fang, Liu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"Well, I'll cut to the chase. I called the four of you here because I have an important task for you." The old man with the surname Fang said in a deep voice.
Liu Ming and the others heard this and looked very calm.
Seeing the reaction of the four, the old man with the surname Fang nodded slightly and continued in a low voice.
"I think you know the current situation. The Fort of Peaceful Sky has been sealed by the Mysterious Ghost Burial Formation of the Evil Ghost Legion. It can be said that it has become a turtle in a jar. At this moment, the four main cities must have been cut off from each other and have become isolated cities. At this moment, the situation of our human race in the Evil Ghost Realm has reached a precarious point. "
"May I ask elder, isn't there a Profound Understanding cultivator of the Taiqing Gate in the Evil Ghost Realm now?" The bearded man of the Haoran Academy asked after cupping his fist and saluting.
"With Martial Uncle Huo Ye's magical power, he should already know the situation here. As for why he hasn't appeared until now, he must have other important things to do." The old man with the rosacea of the Taiqing Gate shook his head when he heard this.
As soon as this statement came out, whether it was Liu Ming or the other three elders with the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, they all had different expressions on their faces.
The reason why the Profound Understanding powerhouse would enter the Evil Ghost Realm was mainly to guard the passage from the Black Peak Valley to the Middle Sky Continent, and at the same time to deter the opponent's Profound Ghost. After many years of fighting, the two sides have gradually reached a tacit understanding that the Profound Understanding powerhouses of both sides will not easily intervene in general battles.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the human race. It has reached a critical moment of life and death. The reason why the Profound Understanding powerhouse has not appeared so far is naturally obvious.
"Although the situation is bad now, it is not enough for us to wait for death. In the beginning, when our four major sects took root in the Evil Ghost Realm, in order to cope with the unpredictable crisis in the future, the four legions each set up a trump card in their respective main cities. Once we encounter a moment of life and death, we can activate our respective trump cards to survive the major crisis. However, the price of using this trump card is a little too great. As a result, our Four Ancient Sects set a rule back then. We must obtain the approval of all three Celestial Phenomenon Stage elders from each sect who are stationed here. Only by gathering all three tokens can we activate the trump card of each sect. "Elder Fang's voice changed as he spoke.
"Elder Fang intends to let the 4 of us send the tokens of the elders back to the 4 main cities?" When Liu Ming heard this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"Yes. This task can be said to be related to the safety of Peaceful Sky Fortress, so it can only be handed over to the strongest disciple. We old guys picked the 4 of you. I hope you won't let us down. "The middle-aged man in scholar's robe said lightly.
"Yes." Liu Ming and the other four naturally bowed and agreed no matter what they thought.
At this time, these Celestial Phenomenon Realm elders naturally would not allow them to have the slightest refusal.
But after that, the other 3 Jin Dan Realm disciples looked at Liu Ming more or less with a trace of doubt. Obviously, they were very curious why the Taiqing Gate chose Liu Ming, a Fake Dan Stage cultivator.
In fact, it was not only the 3 of them who felt strange, even the old man surnamed Fang and the other 2 Celestial Phenomenon Realm elders were also puzzled.
Only the old man with rosacea looked as usual, and he looked at Liu Ming with a smile on his face.
Not to mention the news he learned from the other 2 Celestial Phenomenon Realm elders, he had long seen the scene of Liu Ming killing several Jin Dan Realm evil ghost commanders in succession in the fierce battles with the ghost army.
"Elders, how can we leave the fortress? Is there a Mysterious Ghost Burial Array of the ghost army outside?" Liu Ming hesitated and asked.
"Don't worry about this, we have a way to help you break out of the array. Just do as we say," the old man with rosacea said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Liu Ming and the other 3 Celestial Phenomenon Realm elders wore different expressions.
… …
An hour later, inside Fort Peaceful Sky, the cultivators of the various sects floated in the air under the leadership of the 4 Celestial Phenomenon Realm elders.
"Attack!"
The old man surnamed Fang of the Celestial Work Sect shouted and suddenly waved his arm.
Under the leadership of the Jin Dan Realm elders, the cultivators of the various sects flew to the four sides of the city wall, and then all kinds of spiritual weapons and magic techniques flew out, turning into colorful balls of light that bombarded the array of black gas.
Amidst the loud rumbling sounds, Cao Zhanghe waved the array flags in his hands a few times on the high platform of the Golden Light Array in the middle of the city, shooting out several hand seals. The Good Fortune Bowl above the stronghold glowed brightly, shooting out six beams of light that fell on the six surrounding high platforms.
In the next moment, the six beams of golden light condensed into an enormous pillar of light in the air. As Cao Zhanghe pointed with the formation flag, it shone into a corner of the roiling black gas outside.
The light of the Spirit Artifact Technique collided with the Profound Ghost Burial Formation, emitting bursts of thunderous explosions, illuminating the entire sky. It was extremely powerful.
When the Evil Ghost Legion outside of the Fort Titan Heavens realized what was happening inside, they flew up into the air like a swarm of ants, ready to fight in battle formation.
Although the Mysterious Ghost Burial Array was sturdy, under the combined attack of over a thousand cultivators from the four great sects, the thick black gas roiled violently and flickered chaotically.
A Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ghost Commander hovered in the air outside each of the four walls of Fort Peaceful Sky. When they saw what was happening inside the array, their expressions turned grave, and they each took out several pitch-black formation flags.
One after another, huge black runes flew out of the four-man formation flags and entered the spherical black fog cover. The Mysterious Ghost Burial Array quickly stabilized.
