Under the curtain of night, a dark cloud obscured the moon.
The clouds came without a sound, as if it was just an ordinary change in the weather. The clouds gathered and dispersed.
However, Zuo Feiying seemed to have heard its arrival. It was the mournful trembling of thousands of souls, the wretched cries of her fellow disciples before their deaths.
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Calamity Cloud!" Zuo Feiying said word by word. The red umbrella above her head made her eyes turn red.
She would never forget the day the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace fell. It was the Ten Thousand Ghosts Calamity Cloud that shrouded the peak of Kunlun Mountain. Then, a horde of demons fell like rain and dyed the white snow of Kunlun Mountain red.
None of the survivors of the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace would ever forget it. "Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace! Fight! " Following Zuo Feiying's order, the people of the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace got into formation and prepared for battle. All kinds of exquisite and profound techniques appeared, as if they wanted to announce to the world that the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace still existed!
"The enemy attack is coming from the sky!" Luo Xiaoyi came to a sudden realization and cursed himself for having been worn down by his comfortable life of serving his husband and raising his children. How could he be so ignorant of the incoming enemy? He had even foolishly thought that they would attack from the bottom of the mountain and that he could defend against them from above.
But now, the Hell Dao was the one that had the upper hand!
Luo Xiaoyi immediately drew his bow and shot out a whistling arrow. As the whistling arrow tore through the air, the scholars of the Confucian Sect also gathered. When they saw the black cloud floating over, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Look, what's flying out of that cloud?"
A series of noisy flapping sounds came from afar as countless black dots flew out from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Calamity Cloud. As they got closer, they could vaguely see that they were countless carrion birds with sharp teeth and bodies covered in rotten flesh. The carrion birds were shaped like owls and their cries sounded like babies. In the blink of an eye, they had already covered the sky and covered the earth!
"Don't panic! Rain of arrows, fire! "Luo Xiaoyi took the lead and shot out an arrow. The Splendid Confucian Sect was divided into six altars: "Rites", "Calligraphy", "Imperial", "Archery", "Numeracy", and "Music". These altars taught the students the Six Noble Arts. Once a student mastered one of these arts, they could leave the mountain to become an official, continue to study at other altars, or take up the position of an instructor at their own altars. And among the instructors of each altar, the most outstanding one would be chosen as the altar master.
The Six Altar Lords were the highest leaders of the Huazhang Confucian Palace. However, due to the loose organization of the Huazhang Confucian Palace, the authority of the highest leader was still limited.
As the master of the archery altar, Luo Xiaoyi's attainments in archery were naturally extraordinary. As soon as she shot an arrow, it transformed into a myriad of starlight streaking across the sky. It was the "Falling Star" style of the Confucian archery art, the "Three Light Holy Arrows".
The rest of the disciples followed suit. For a moment, the wails of the dead birds were heard and they fell like rain.
However, there were still some birds that slipped through the net. Several disciples were slightly slow in changing arrows, and some dead birds swooped down and pecked at their heads and faces, crushing them and drowning them in the flock of birds.
By the time the helping disciples dispersed the flock of birds, only the flesh and bones were left.
His miserable death made the rest of his companions even more shocked. The rain of arrows was momentarily disrupted, and more dead birds took the opportunity to attack.
"Multiform, Return to the Great Void, Sky-Covering Thousand Umbrellas Formation!" At this moment, Zuo Feiying chanted an incantation and activated the formation. In an instant, countless red umbrellas opened above the heads of the Confucian disciples like countless small shields, repelling the many dead birds that swooped down.
The pressure on Luo Xiaoyi lessened slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Zuo Feiying had such attainments at such a young age. Wei Wushuang really had a successor.
In comparison, the group of students she had brought with her seemed to pale in comparison. She immediately shouted, "How can we advance or retreat in such a disorderly manner?! Do you think our Confucian Sect is the only one that lacks courage? "
Then, she pulled her bowstring to the limit and used the "Chasing Moon" style of the "Three Light Holy Arrows". An arrow emitting a clear radiance shot out from the gaps of the red umbrellas, drawing a beautiful arc like a crescent moon. However, the force behind it was extremely sharp, and the arrow didn't stop after piercing through nearly a hundred dead birds. She forcefully opened up a gap in the dense flock of birds.
Hearing the Altar Master's reprimand and seeing her display of divine might, the Confucian disciples were both ashamed and energized. Their morale immediately soared, and they stabilized their footing and formed a formation to counterattack.
Although the number of dead birds was great, it was only a frightening momentum that caught the Confucian disciples off guard. However, once the Confucian and Daoist allied forces formed a formation, it could be said that they could attack and defend at the same time. The dead birds could only disturb and exhaust the enemy, but they didn't have much lethality.
The battle that was gradually becoming easier made Luo Xiaoyi suspicious again. She knew that this was definitely not the Hell Dao's full strength. However, the Ten Thousand Ghost Calamity Cloud stopped at a place where the arrows couldn't reach, and no longer approached. It only released the dead birds to continuously disturb them.
Just when Luo Xiaoyi was wondering when the real attack would start, the ground beneath her suddenly shook, and the arrow in her hand almost fell out of her hand. The source of the shaking was —
"Celestial Master Cave?"
Zuo Feiying's expression also changed, and she said through gritted teeth, "They really came for the barrier?"
Then, she said to Luo Xiaoyi, "Altar Master Luo, I'll have to trouble you to command the defense outside. I'll enter the Celestial Master Cave to observe."
"Go quickly, leave this place to me!" Luo Xiaoyi did not decline.
Zuo Feiying no longer hesitated. She left a portion of the Myriad Heavenly Palace members outside to maintain the Sky-Covering Umbrella Formation, and led the rest of the experts into the Celestial Master Cave.
Inside the Celestial Master Cave was the Ghost Sealing Formation left by Wei Wushuang, which sealed the crack between the human and ghost realms. The place where Wei Wushuang was originally guarding was the formation's formation eye. Although Wei Wushuang had petrified and sealed himself, his body had already become one with the formation, maintaining the formation's operation.
But now, in order to ensure that Wei Wushuang's treatment would not be disturbed, his stone statue had been moved to another hidden location. The sealing formation's formation eye was missing, and it happened to be at its weakest.
At this moment, the ground in the Celestial Master Cave was trembling non-stop, and the formation's center was constantly cracking outwards, as if there was a prehistoric beast crashing into the ground.
Zuo Feiying's face turned pale. She knew that the attack outside was only a distraction, and the Hungry Ghost Dōjin's main force was in the ghost realm on the other side of the Yin and Yang crack. At this moment, he was constantly attacking the seal here!
"I'll do it!" Zuo Feiying immediately made up her mind. At the same time, she bit her finger and drew a Dao pattern seal on her right palm. Then, she pressed her palm on the ground and pressed it on the center of the formation, entering the formation with her body. In an instant, the formation was completed. Abundant Dao essence flowed through the formation veins, and the overflowing ghost aura was pushed back into the crack by the Dao essence. The collision on the other side also seemed to have stopped for a breath.
However, Zuo Feiying only felt that the True Vitality in her body was being extracted without any explanation and was being continuously injected into the formation. Although she had already expected that she would need a large amount of True Vitality to maintain the formation under the collision of the ghosts, the intense consumption of True Vitality was still beyond her expectations, causing Zuo Feiying to be short of breath for a moment. This made her even more shocked. "Master, how did you do it back then?"
Wei Wushuang had forcefully sealed the ghosts back into the ghost realm, and Zuo Feiying was only maintaining the formation, but she already felt like she was running out of strength. She suddenly felt the difference between her and her master.
In the next instant, the ghosts on the other side attacked even more fiercely as if they were taking revenge. Every time they attacked, Zuo Feiying felt like a battering ram was pounding on her internal organs, and she immediately vomited vermillion blood from the impact.
Fortunately, the few surviving experts from the Myriad Heavenly Palace had also arrived at this moment. They stood in all directions and injected True Vitality into the formation, reducing the consumption of Zuo Feiying's energy. Only then did the formation stabilize.
Zuo Feiying let out a breath of turbid air, but it was difficult for her to get rid of the knot in her heart. Under her palm, the violent collisions continued without any pattern, and the True Vitality in her body was constantly being consumed.
The Hell Dao obviously did not give up just like that, and was still attacking the seal. For the first time, Zuo Feiying had doubts. There were still five days until her master was healed. Could she really hold on for five days under the violent attacks?

In the guest room.
Shen Yizhi's chess piece landed, as if he was in control of the overall situation. "In the Battle of the Heavenly Book, the losses of the three religions are far more serious than the Six Paths of Evil Destruction. Now, there are many people like you who are injured. Compared to the Six Paths of Evil Destruction, we don't have an obvious advantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, the Celestial Master Cave is the crack between the Yin and Yang Realms. In other words, if we defend this place, we will be attacked by both the Yin and Yang Realms. Although we have the terrain, we do not have the geographical advantage. It can be said to be the most dangerous place in this defense."
Xu Tingxian thought that there must have been tragic deaths among his fellow disciples, and he could not help but clench his fists tightly. After letting out a deep breath, he relaxed his fists and said nonchalantly, "What about the other two places?"
"The Hell Dao's attack location has been determined, and the Animal Dao can push out. According to Ji Fengming's observation, the Animal Dao's formation borrows the brutal power of the primitive world. At the foot of the south mountain west of Qingcheng, the Stacked Secluded Forest is the best choice to open the formation. " With that, Shen Yizhi took another chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. "And here, the Buddhist Heart Monastery and the Udumbara Pure Sect are defending!"
- = -
Stacked Secluded Forest to the south of Qingcheng.
There was a huge tree that towered into the sky. It was lush and lush, and it was unknown how many years it had stood there.
Mountains had mountain ranges, rivers had water veins, and forests had forest veins. This tree grew at the core of the intersection of the forest veins in the Stacked Secluded Forest. It was blessed by nature, and that was why it was so tall.
In other words, if the Animal Dao wanted to open the formation in the Stacked Secluded Forest, they had to first attack this place.
Therefore, other than this tree, the surrounding trees were all chopped down and replaced with strongholds made of earth and stones. They forcibly built a fortification in the embrace of the Stacked Secluded Forest.
At this moment, in the dead of night, the roars of beasts could be heard from the depths of the pitch-black forest from time to time. A female disciple of the Udumbara Pure Sect who was guarding the stronghold could not help but shiver when she heard the roars of beasts.
After looking around, she felt that she was like a little rabbit that had strayed into a dark forest. There were countless predators waiting in the depths of the forest. They were staring at her with their green eyes and drooling, thinking about how to swallow her, their prey, in one bite.
Although there were fortifications, it had only been three days since they returned to Qingcheng from the battle of the Heavenly Book. Could the fortifications built in three days really block the sharp teeth of the Animal Dao? She had no confidence in this at all.
She knew that the Animal Dao would attack, but she did not know when and how they would attack. This kind of unknown was more terrifying than the danger itself, causing her to be constantly anxious. For a moment, she did not know whether she should hope that the Animal Dao would bid farewell or hope that the Animal Dao would come as soon as possible.
Just as she was feeling perturbed, she suddenly instinctively felt a chill on her back. She turned around abruptly, only to see a pair of glowing green eyes staring at her in the dark forest.
Her legs immediately weakened, and she almost fell. Just as she was about to shout, she saw a small beast with a black eye and a black and white body, shaped like a bear, walking out of the forest.
It was about the size of a bear cub, and its appearance was charmingly naive. The girl's heart relaxed, and she exhaled. She knew that this beast was called "Chi". It was rare, but Qingcheng Mountain happened to be one of its main habitats.
However, her startled reaction also startled her fellow disciples. Now that they saw the beast clearly, they all laughed out loud, as if they were trying to cover up their guilty conscience from before.
The girl was secretly annoyed at being teased, but she pretended to be relaxed. She picked up a bamboo and teased the Chi, smiling as she watched the Chi eat the bamboo one bite at a time.
Then, it ate her hand.
！
The girl was stunned and could not react for a moment. When did the Chi, which clearly only ate bamboo, bite off her hand?
In the next instant, she cried out in pain, but the Chi had already pounced over and snapped her slender neck in a single bite. It was as easy as biting through bamboo.
"Enemy attack!"
The other female disciples noticed the abnormality and shouted one after another. As if to confirm their words, the forest suddenly shook, and birds flew away in fright. Countless beasts rushed out of the forest, from bears, tigers, leopards, wolves, rats, rabbits, deer, sheep, grass, and meat. At this moment, all of them were eating humans!
They all rushed over crazily, filling the trenches, crashing into the walls, and biting anyone they saw.
The beasts had no tricks to speak of, but they had the most brutal violence. The fortification, which was not strong to begin with, was forcibly torn open.
The group of beasts was about to rush in.
At this time, a thunderous lion roar was heard.
"Evil beast, how dare you!"
At the same time, a golden light suddenly appeared, and the Buddha's Core was vast. A huge Vajra Palm majestically appeared, straight forward.
Brute against brute, brute against brute. The group of beasts that crashed through the gap was directly hit by the Vajra Palm, and all were plowed into a pool of meat paste.
"Su Miaoyin, why did you bring a bunch of girls here? You only know how to shout and get in the way. Retreat behind this monk! "A tall and mighty monk strode out.
The female disciples of the Udumbara Pure Sect looked indignant, but they dared not say anything. They even obediently hid behind the monk.
This was because the monk was the fiercest and most violent King Of Ming of the Buddha Heart Zen Monastery, the King Of Ming.
The King Of Ming alone held the fort, mending the gap in the defense. He used the Vajra Palm one after another, and with each palm, a wild beast would be pressed into a meat patty.
However, the King Of Ming was still dissatisfied. He knew that the real enemy had yet to appear. Then, he sank his Qi into his Dantian and roared again.
"Where are the beasts of the Beast Dao? Are you hiding and not daring to come out!?"
His voice was like a clap of thunder, and the sound waves shook everyone's eardrums. For a moment, all the beasts were intimidated and did not dare to move forward.
Only a huge black bear seemed to be unwilling to be challenged. It roared and raised its paw to slap at the King Of Ming.
"What an evil creature!" The Guardian Deity's impulsive nature was stirred. He grabbed the bear's arm, turned around, and threw it over his shoulder, ruthlessly flinging it to the ground.
His ferocious and domineering posture was truly moving. However, before everyone could cheer for the King Of Ming …
Suddenly! A ferocious saber beam appeared!
The black bear's abdomen suddenly split open, and a thin figure that looked like a monkey leaped out from the bloody hole in its abdomen. He swung his saber quickly and ruthlessly.
"Chi!"
A ferocious saber wound appeared on the King Of Ming's lower abdomen to his upper shoulder. Bright red blood spurted out.
As blood rained down, the monkey-like figure landed on the forehead of a ferocious tiger.
The figure squatted, looking even more deformed and distorted. However, he carried a huge saber that was even larger than him on his shoulder. The saber was like a beast's fang, as if it wanted to devour people.
