Chapter 149
Chapter 149
The foreign enemies retreated, and Ma Zhao, the leader of Juchi Peak, personally came forward to keep the prisoners.
The rainstorm came and went quickly, and when the rain stopped, Ju Chifeng returned to calm.
The devastated ground, the collapsed hall, and the toppled giant tree all showed the vicious battle just now, which made people speechless. Ju Chifeng ranked more than 100 in the sub-peak field, and was forced by dozens of allied forces to defend him. It's no wonder that Ma Zhao would be angry if he was forced to this point.
After all, the Ten Peaks faction sitting here was only participating, with a small number of people and uneven strength. More than 60 strong men above the fifth-rank spirit king attacked in, and the Ten Peaks forces had no time to react, which led to serious consequences.With Ju Chifeng as the home court, the intruders were almost wiped out, and Ju Chifeng also paid a big price.
Eleven masters above the second level of the refining hall died, 26 were injured, dozens of attendants, and hundreds of low-level disciples.
Compared with Junhu Peak, which ranked more than 700, was wiped out by several spirit emperors with a few monsters, but Ju Chifeng blocked the remaining dozens of strong people with only a mountain guard, and no one came in. , the background is evident.And Huo Lianfeng's ranking is also comparable.
The vice-peak forces returned, and after learning about the situation, they were shocked and sighed endlessly. The joy was that the opponent made a fuss and didn't get any good, and finally returned angrily. During the riots, the attack spread far and wide. Yue Lao was originally suffering from chronic illnesses, but now he was seriously injured.
Ma Zhao came out of Lao Yue's room full of elixir smell, Xie Yuce and several peak masters followed him, a group of people were discussing and busy shirking responsibility, Ye Tianyang fell to the side and listened quietly, Lei Huo huddled into a ball Squatting on his shoulders, looking around curiously, he couldn't control his hands and feet when he saw the rare elixir, Ye Tianyang had no choice but to press him firmly as if nothing had happened, to prevent the little beast from messing around.
"Can Master Xie explain, what's going on here? How could Lao Yue be in an accident when he was clearly in the hall?" A peak master said to Xie Yuce.
"What do you mean by these words?" Xie Yuce was displeased.
Ma Zhao's expression sank, he sighed lightly, and nodded his thanks to Xie Yuce: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters can't be stopped, if Master Xie hadn't taken out the heavenly treasure pill in time to extend Yue Lao's life, the consequences would have been disastrous. "
"It doesn't have to be like this. Old Yue has worked so hard, and the younger generation should save him." Xie Yuce said, "It's just that the brains have no leader, and the others may not be able to hold back. What should I do next, does the Peak Master have any plans?"
Ma Zhaodao: "I can only choose another military advisor, do you have anyone to recommend?"
This is the question that almost everyone present is concerned about, and many people's ears are pricked up in an instant.
Several peak masters smirked: "How embarrassing, the success of this battle depends on Yue Lao's good strategy, how can we take the credit of his old man. Now that there are not enough people, I wonder if the peak master already has a candidate in mind?" That being said, the last sentence is the key.
In fact, almost everyone present knew that Ma Zhao would say in front of them that the candidate must be one of them.But all the forces that came for the Holy Pill or the Heavenly Magical Artifact were staring at this vacancy, and no one wanted to recommend the other party.
Judging from the return of the deputy peak in less than two hours, in the current situation, Ju Chifeng still took the lead, Yue Lao made a good start, a military adviser is a good job, and the winner will only be rewarded with two. To become a military division-level figure, one is likely to be able to get one in the end, and what kind of brilliant record the other person needs is relatively easy to plan for.
Suddenly someone said in a strange way: "The person Yue Lao is optimistic about is you, the peak master of Huanyu, and you were the closest to Yue Lao before his accident, and the one who knows Yue Lao's plan best is Xie Yuce. If you really want to choose someone to take orders in danger, it seems No one is more suitable than you..."
Xie Yuce pretended not to hear the thorn in his words, and said with a smile, "How can this be done. In terms of qualifications and experience, all the peak masters are better than me, so let's choose among you."
These faces, even if they are strong enough, he doesn't even bother to pull people into his vice peak, all of them have no virtue.Xie Yuce was disdainful, thank you, he really doesn't care.
The surroundings were noisy, and the words of praise and derogation were harsh. Yue Lao was a hero, and the hero fell. The people in front of him were all thinking about the treasure. Ma Zhao was depressed. stayed.
Among the group of spirit emperors, Ye Tianyang was the most inconspicuous. He was silent all the time, with a calm expression, as if he couldn't lift his spirits and was out of shape.
Ma Zhao looked away calmly, returned to the crowd, nodded to Xie Yuce, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I have to thank Peak Master Xie to take this place temporarily."
At this time, Xie Yuce was really humble: "It's not too late to discuss with fellow Taoists from various peaks who have gone out first. If it's a win-win situation, it doesn't matter whether it's me or whoever takes this position."
One sentence blocked the crowd back, all the blame was removed from Xie Yuce, everyone talked a lot, the peak master didn't speak, the people around him started to boo, Ma Zhao had one head and two big ones.
"Let's leave it at that, wait for the others to come back." Ma Zhao said, "Everyone, step down first. Before the melee is over, don't take it lightly and step up the inspection of the whole peak."
"That's natural, the peak master can rest assured."
Ma Zhao nodded and said: "Come here, order to go down and search every corner, don't let those people leave anything behind."
For example, spirit stones with phonograms, teleportation circles engraved on blood vessels, etc. If there are such things left behind, it will be useless to fully open the mountain protection circle.
"Obey, Peak Lord!"
When the people gradually dispersed, Ma Zhao followed five people, and he told the three of them: "Send the identified dead to the Lingxue Cemetery for rest, my peak master, and come later." Ma Zhao felt exhausted physically and mentally, and he The young peak master waved: "Tianyang, you go with this peak master."
Ye Tianyang was absent-minded, and when he heard this, he smiled and refused: "It's been so long, I should go to the Vice Peak Battlefield, and my people haven't come back yet, so I'm a little worried."
"You are injured, so don't worry about it, the peak master will send someone to help you." Seeing that Ye Tianyang seemed to refuse, Ma Zhao interrupted with a strange face, "You are really strange, others are eager to see you." With this peak master, you are the only ones who are still reluctant."
Xie Yuce hadn't gone far, when he heard this, he turned and looked back.
Ma Zhao said calmly: "Spirit Cave Cemetery, Master Xie, do you want to come together when you are free?"
Xie Yuce was straightforward and shook his head: "Let Ye Tianyang accompany you to take a look. I'll forget it. I'll go to the battlefield to have a look, so I won't stay here." After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Ye Tianyang and said, "Wan Don't worry about Beast Peak, I'll help you, I haven't exercised for a long time, and I'm in a panic."
The third heaven of the Linghuang is helping the battle, let alone Xie Yuce, if the latter goes all out, there is really no need to worry.
Ye Tianyang was dumbfounded, with a lot of doubts in his mind. This person has been fishing for water in the melee just now, killing those who should be killed, and killing those who should not be killed. If he hadn't tried his best to save Yue Lao, Ye Tianyang would have suspected that the latter was Because he was unconscious...
But now not only does not fight, but also deliberately let him befriend Ma Zhao, as if to fulfill him, Ye Tianyang panicked and smiled: "Why?"
"Rong Xuan is angry with me and ignores me, you have to give me a chance to show it." Xie Yuce took two steps back, moved to his side and smiled ambiguously.
"Go back and tell your master more good things about me, you know."
As Xie Yuce said, he patted Ye Tianyang on the back of the head in a friendly manner, forcing him to nod.
"good!"
The corners of Ye Tianyang's mouth twitched, he blinked, and then blinked again.
Ma Zhao had also heard about the friendship between Xie Yuce and Rong Xuan, and it turned out that the relationship between the two peaks is so good, so he said: "Well, you go, let those deputy peaks not come back in a hurry, it is best to go together, lest there will be changes .”
After Ma Zhao finished speaking, Xie Yuce smiled and said that it was exactly what he meant, and the two parted in a tacit understanding. Before leaving, Xie Yuce warned: "Brother Ma must treat Tianyang kindly, I will always treat him as my own brother."
"You can rest assured. The Lingxue cemetery is the most important place on Juchi Peak. The owner of this peak personally invited people from the outer peak to enter. Can't you explain the meaning..."
Regarding Xie Yuce's overtures, Ye Tianyang was in a mess: "..."
He took a deep breath, turned around and followed Ma Zhao to the cemetery.
The cemetery is located in the depths of Juchi Peak, and there are many obstacles. The so-called spiritual cave is not in the cave, but there is a gap, and the sunlight falls, like a patio.
There are many formations here, and the spiritual energy is much stronger than that of the outside world. The plants are growing very well, and all the grass has some spirituality. The ground is dry, and there is not even a drop of rain on the grass. The sun is beautiful, which is originally a peaceful and leisurely scene, but because of the arrangement of things, it looks extraordinarily solemn and deserted.
This is the cemetery, and the bones of the ancestors are buried in the treasure land with the strongest aura in the entire Juchi Peak.
Thousands of tombstones are erected neatly, and the names of the predecessors are engraved with sharp nibs. After years of baptism, some handwriting has been blurred.
The body of the deceased was placed at the door. Ma Zhao carried it in himself, found out the location, put the person on the ground, and the soil rolled and buried him. He then placed the stone tablet and carved the words.These are all people from Juchifeng, including a craftsman and a powerful spirit king, Linghuang. There are more than 30 of them in total, much less than the dead.
The atmosphere was quite dull, Ma Zhao was immersed in grief, Ye Tianyang was curious but did not inquire.
"As you can see, this is a rare treasure tomb. Ju Chifeng has accumulated thousands of years of experience, and only those who have made great achievements can be buried here. This is a rule, and the peak masters of all generations have to abide by it, but not every peak master. They can all be buried here." Ma Zhao's face was full of awe, his eyes were full of blatant reverence, and he also had deep self-blame, he closed his eyes, opened them again, and all emotions disappeared, and he had returned to normal.
If every major peak has one or more sacred places, such as the bone erosion pillar on the main peak of the Five Elements, then Juchi Peak is the cemetery.
"There are still such rules." Ye Tianyang lowered his voice and exclaimed.
The strangest thing is that among the more than 30 corpses, there is actually a corpse of a blood puppet, but all the blood has been drained away, and only the places where the limbs are connected can be identified that this person has died long ago.
"Some people have been honest for half their lives, but in the end they stumbled and did unforgivable things. As for the blood puppets, these are all made from the blood of betrayers."
"People who are unfaithful, unkind, and unrighteous are not worthy of being buried here. They will pollute this piece of spiritual land. If you have worked hard all your life, but in the end do something utterly devoid of conscience, the Lord of this peak will act on behalf of the heavens and requisition his spirit." The body will wipe out all his endless loyalty before his death, and then give him a decent burial. It will not be in vain for his bright and aboveboard first half of his life."
Ye Tianyang sighed secretly, there must be a reason why some people have so many supporters.Why bother venting anger and provoking disputes over the few people who died, but in the end far more than that number died, nothing more than more painful.
Ye Tianyang said euphemistically: "The peak master provoked the chaos, and the ones killed may also be the responsible and loyal people in Fangfeng Peak."
The other party is also angry, and the two parties have enmity, and they will never stop dying. The result can only be more deaths and greater enmity.
Ma Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "If you can think of this, I can only say that you are a good person, but you are not qualified as a peak master."
Ye Tianyang paused: "?"
Ma Zhaodao: "The responsible and loyal people lost their lives. That's something their peak masters should reflect on. It has nothing to do with me. The death of the other party is due to the incompetence of their peak master, and the death of one of our own is due to my incompetence!"
It is clearly a simple truth in the eyes of ordinary people, but Ma Zhao saw confusion in the eyes of the other party.
It's so similar, he seems to see the shadow of himself in the other party, he was naive once, when he fell into the darkest moment of his life, he thought that he would never recover, but luckily at that time, he met a noble person who was willing to pull him away Well, that person is the former leader of Juchi Peak.
Ma Zhao felt that he had to give him a hand.
"People can't be too greedy. One day you have to admit that you are an ordinary person. You can only protect the safety of some people, and you can only make profits for those people. If you pretend to be your own in your heart, you can't be distracted to understand the suffering of the enemy. , what you hold in your hands is the life of everyone below, how can you let them be wronged to take care of the enemy's emotions to achieve your own nobility, if you want to seize everything, you will end up with nothing."
These words are very thought-provoking, Ye Tianyang seems to have realized something, and he can't help feeling grateful.
Master asked him to choose between a good person and a good peak master.
But he felt that Ma Zhao, who had this kind of awareness, would feel sad for the disciples who died in the peak. He was a good peak master, and he was also a good person.Perhaps in the eyes of the enemy, he is bad to the bone, but he is also worthy of respect.
The master is telling him that it is impossible to please anyone from the position of the master of the peak.Ye Tianyang only feels bitter, but in order to make everyone like me, I seem to be so fake that I can no longer be fake.
"You go out first. I have something to ask you later." Ma Zhao said.
Ye Tianyang walked out, and behind him Ma Zhao bowed to the three stone steles about one foot high. If this battle was fierce, he would be ashamed to leave this place or return to the temple, and he was not even qualified to enter here again.
When he came out, Ye Tianyang smiled: "Did the peak master ask for protection just now?"
Ma Zhao didn't say yes, but said: "I hope it will stop here. When there is no one, please call me Ma Zhao."
After leaving the area of the tomb, the atmosphere finally eased up, the dark clouds outside dispersed, and it was almost dawn.
"I understand what you meant when you said it was too messy." Ma Zhao said suddenly, standing with his hands behind his back.At that time, Ye Tianyang's shot was so amazing that it was hard for people not to notice. Before the water spirit turned into ice and sealed the five foreign races, Ye Tianyang once said that it was too messy, and he hit the nail on the head.
Thousands of people fought against dozens of people, it was really very chaotic, and the battle was clearly won, but the intruders still jumped for a long time.
The opponent attacked when they were most relaxed, and the timing was just right. As soon as they came in, they went straight to the refining hall to kill the refiner. They were too hasty without preparation. As the peak master, Ma Zhao couldn't hold back.
In order to claim credit, Meng Youfeng killed fewer people than many people in front of him. As for Lao Yue who planned the battle, he fell at this time, and the sand seems to be more scattered. These uncertain factors are disturbing.
"In your opinion, what should be done at the beginning?" Ma Zhao was curious.
"If it's orderly at the beginning, everyone works together to block the dozens of people who broke in at the first time, it's not difficult to block those people with thousands of people, secondly overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, and then fight fairly in a one-on-one way .In this way, even if you lose your life in defeat, the Tu... Linghuang outside the formation has nothing to say, and there are only a few who will take revenge. If the opponent wins the battle, then..."
Although the method is good and far-sighted, but after all, he is a young man who has not experienced life and death himself, and does not understand the pain involved.
Ma Zhao shook his head, and before Ye Tianyang finished speaking, he interrupted jokingly: "If you win, just let him go like this? After killing so many people, even if they are willing, this peak master will not be willing."
Ye Tianyang smiled and said: "If the opponent wins, we will just lock him up and save his life for the time being. This is a battlefield, not a ring. Didn't you say that you are thinking of your own people, there is no way to run away after killing someone."
Those who can defeat their opponents in an unfavorable environment must have a very important status in the foreign race. It is more confident to keep these people as bargaining chips.
Ma Zhao was taken aback, and couldn't help but look up and down the overly good-looking young man in front of him. He rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. After a while, he came back to his senses: "You can teach me, don't call you anymore, I'm so panicky. You are such an afterthought, what a pity." It's late. If you have anything else to say, say it together, otherwise, next time, this peak master will be the first to let you go if something happens."
At the end of the speech, his tone was much more relaxed, not threatening, but more teasing. Ye Tianyang naturally heard it, and he began to trust him.
Ye Tianyang took advantage of the trend, and he was no longer pretentious, and his smile lost the original sense of distance. He said: "I just said casually. There was an accident, the Linghuang second-level heavenly powerhouse who broke the ground-level magic weapon with his bare hands suddenly appeared. I have seen him in the forest. He seems to have walked out of Juchi Peak. Stay in Juchi Peak."
Ma Zhaotan: "Inviting allies to join melee battles, loopholes are unavoidable. At the beginning of the battle, you should order calm guidance. In the final analysis, this peak leader is reckless."
Being able to admit one's mistakes is extremely rare as the master of a peak, just like the master of the five elements peak, even if the wrong person is punished, the solution is to make the mistake.
Ye Tianyang doesn't know many peak masters, and he really thinks that Ma Zhao is one of the people worth making friends with.
Ye Tianyang comforted: "You are also eager to protect the calf, which is understandable. I am afraid that someone will add fuel to the flames, which will lead to the chaos in the future."
The frightening thing is that the opponent can break through the formation in a short time. If it is a spirit pattern master, it must be of high rank. Master said that the spirit pattern master has an overall view and the layout is extremely superb. For example, Yue Lao is a spirit pattern master. At this time, Yue Lao He fell down, but there was an extra spirit pattern master on the other side. Could it be that something happened to Mr. Yue, which was caused by the spirit pattern master who suddenly appeared?
"You said Yue Lao fell into a coma because he was deprived of the ability to form a formation? The ancient sorcery reappeared? Are you kidding me!" Ma Zhao's eyelids twitched, "It may be someone else in the peak."
"It could also be me, don't tell me anything." Ye Tianyang joked, coughed and returned to normal, he said seriously, "In this battle, the Shifeng forces behaved like a mess of sand, without the slightest deterrence. Now we really need to choose A military adviser. I don’t think anyone can be trusted right now, so Feng... Ma Zhao, go ahead, otherwise, except for accidents, if the opponent regains his strength and makes a comeback, the mob will have no power to resist.”
Ma Zhao understood as soon as he heard it. After burying the disciples in the peak, he became optimistic: "Let them think that they are a mob. In this battle, the peak master also saw some forces that really care about Ju Chifeng. From now on It's not too late to start integrating, if there is a next battle, the scattered sand will condense together, and he will be caught off guard again."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them reached the steps of the square in front of the main hall, someone rushed from outside in a hurry, and bumped into the outside of the mountain guard formation with a bang.His head was bleeding, his whole body was bloody, and his robe was stained red.
"It's not good..." The voice was so hoarse that there was almost no sound.
"What's the matter!" A peak master recognized him as an acquaintance, but still walked to the side of the magic circle, and didn't let him in at the beginning.
The man fell to the ground, his eyes were slack and he was clutching at the hem of the person in front of him, his joints were turning white, blood spurted out when he spoke, and he couldn't speak clearly.
The movement of this place, coupled with the fact that many people were attracted to come, and they all covered their mouths to stop their exclamation when they saw the horrific whole body of this person.
Ma Zhao walked over, took out the elixir and fed it into the person's mouth, tapped a few key points in the air to help him breathe: "Don't worry, speak slowly."
The dying fourth-order spirit king was greatly stimulated, his body curled up, and he was still trembling when he spoke: "The situation of the battle suddenly changed...they changed, they are very powerful, there are endless people, they can't win, we can't win No one escaped, no one escaped..."
"This, this is impossible!" The person from the vice peak who came back first was shocked, and there was a feint attack, how could there be endless reinforcements?So he frowned and said, "Old Yue's scheme was very successful, I won easily, and the others should be the same."
But it really shouldn't be. Calculated from this time, the other sub-peaks should have returned long ago, but they haven't been seen yet.
He had just won the battle, and the peak leader of this person did not believe that Lao Yue's clever strategy could not be seen through, otherwise the other party would not run away, so he tried to force that person to stand up: "Stop raising alarmism, if the situation is urgent, How did you come back again!"
"It's true!" The man's terrified pale face was covered with blood like a dead man, tears poured from his red eyes, he hugged his head, almost weeping, and spit out words that made his scalp tingle.
"The other party's counselor said, it's too boring to say, so... deliberately spared my life to report back, if... If I don't go there again, the whole army will be wiped out, Peak Master! I don't want to go back again, I don't want to..."
