Chapter 360: The Crisis of Xiaoji Palace
In the Xuanyu Cave, Ye Changsheng and four others sat around Master Hanli, and they all spewed out the extremely cold flames they controlled, wrapping up Master Hanli.
This dwarf, who originally looked like a man in his fifties or sixties, had somehow turned into a middle-aged man in his thirties.
He also became much taller and looked no different from an ordinary person, with a handsome face, but the muscles on his cheeks twitched from time to time, appearing to be in extreme pain.
Those extremely cold flames drilled into his body like little bugs, wriggling under his skin, passing through his flesh and blood, and drilling into his Nascent Soul.
During the whole process, the immense pain made Master Hanli unbearable, and his body trembled from time to time.
But even so, he still sat firmly on the lotus platform, trying his best to remain calm, and with the help of these extremely cold flames, he achieved his own transformation.
I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from outside the Xuanyu Cave, and then the whole cave trembled slightly.
It was as if the Xu Ling Palace had suffered some attack. The gray-robed monk and the old woman seemed to have thought of something and their expressions suddenly changed.
Bai Mengxin and another monk from Xiaoji Palace had a hint of anxiety between their brows and looked extremely worried.
If they were outside the Xu Ling Palace at this time, they would be able to see a snow phoenix with a body of dozens of feet and a body as white as jade, hovering outside the forbidden light curtain of the Xiao Ji Palace.
As its wings spread, the cold air in the sky turned into endless ice cubes and ice knives, sweeping over and hitting the forbidden light curtain, causing the light curtain to tremble violently, as if it was about to be broken.
Then, she grabbed with her claws again, and suddenly a huge iceberg appeared out of thin air under her body, crashing down and hitting the forbidden light curtain hard.
“Boom!”
There was a loud earth-shaking sound, and the huge iceberg where the Xiaoji Palace was located began to shake under such an impact, allowing Ye Changsheng and others in the Xu Ling Palace to feel the movement outside.
The monks in Xiaoji Palace were terrified when they saw this scene, fearing that the restriction would be broken in the next moment and the huge mountain would fall down directly.
After the Ice Phoenix failed to break the restriction of Xiaoji Palace with one attack, it did not get discouraged and continued to mobilize large amounts of cold air, condensing it into icebergs that fell downwards.
According to this trend, it won’t take long before the last barrier defending Xiaoji Palace is breached.
Seeing this situation, all the cultivators in Xiaoji Palace looked grim, and the palace master, who was leading the group, looked extremely gloomy.
After a struggle appeared in his eyes, the Palace Master's expression suddenly turned grim, as if he had figured something out.
A black token quietly appeared in his hand.
"boom!"
When another iceberg fell down, the forbidden light curtain trembled for a while, and finally shattered into pieces, turning into countless rays of light that flew away.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A burst of wild laughter was heard, and then a boy appeared, holding a huge flag in his hand.
Along with the waving of flags, countless demon shadows rushed out densely, covering the sky and the earth. Among these demon shadows, there were many real monsters, each of them was at the transformed level and extremely powerful.
When the ban was broken, these monsters rushed over with extreme ferocity. Under the iceberg, the elders of Xiaoji Palace who were originally resisting these transformed monsters saw this scene and retreated back to the Hanli Secret Realm, not daring to fight at all.
Fortunately, the low-level disciples of Xiaoji Palace had already been arranged to the Hanli Secret Realm, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died in this attack.
The great formation guarding Xiaoji Palace was finally broken, and the army of monsters had already rushed in.
In the Hanli Secret Realm, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace looked palely at the tide of monsters appearing at the foot of the mountain.
The Ice Phoenix, the old demon Che from the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, and the Green-backed Wolf, none of these three could be defeated by her.
"Activate the Xu Ling Palace!" She shouted coldly, and several elders of Xiao Ji Palace immediately started to move behind her.
They performed hand gestures around the three halls arranged in a triangular shape. Not long after, the three halls shook violently, the ground cracked, and a super magic circle emerged from below.
This super magic formation surrounds the three halls in the center. At first glance, one cannot tell how many spirit stones are inlaid on it.
At the core, there are even more than ten extremely precious high-level spirit stones, which shows that this magic array is truly extraordinary.
After the magic circle appeared, it immediately burst out with astonishing spiritual light, enveloping the three halls. Then the three halls shook, and three thick beams of light shot up into the sky from the top of the halls.
"boom!"
There was a loud earth-shaking sound, and with the bombardment of the three thick light beams, a strange spatial fluctuation spread throughout the Hanli Secret Realm, followed by a white arc hundreds of feet long slowly emerging.
If Ye Changsheng were here, he would immediately recognize that this white arc is a space crack.
The three virtual spirit palaces seemed to have established some connection with the space crack. When they sensed the appearance of the space crack, the light suddenly became brighter.
The white arc in the air gradually lengthened and widened, as if a demon's eye was gradually opening.
When this space crack almost occupied half of the sky above the secret realm, streams of silver mist suddenly gushed out from it, covering the three virtual spirit palaces at the same time.
"retreat!"
With a cold shout, the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace flashed and appeared in front of the door of Xu Ling Palace in the middle.
Behind her, several elders followed, and at the doors of the two other Xu Ling Palaces, some elders of Xiao Ji Palace also appeared.
They all made hand gestures to open the door of Xu Ling Palace, and then groups of Xiao Ji Palace disciples came in one after another and entered the Xu Ling Palace.
A moment later, everyone in the Hanli Secret Realm entered the three virtual spirit palaces.
Soon, pulled by the silver haze emitted by the space crack in the sky, one of the three virtual spirit palaces trembled violently, then slowly rose from the ground and headed towards the space crack.
With a flash of silver light, the huge palace disappeared in a flash, and the second palace immediately rose up right after it.
But when the third hall in the middle also rose from the ground, a white light flashed somewhere in the secret realm, and a snow-white ice phoenix about ten feet in size appeared strangely.
As soon as Bingfeng saw this scene in the Hanli Secret Realm, a sneer immediately flashed in her eyes.
His emerald green eyes stared at the last palace still in the void. He opened his mouth and a ray of white light shot into the crack in space, following the palace.
Then she watched coldly as the last Void Spirit Palace was sucked into the space crack without trying to stop it.
When the three halls were all sucked into the space crack, the crack immediately closed slowly, and then disappeared with a flash of silver light.
"boom!"
A moment later, a flash of light appeared at the entrance to the Hanli Secret Realm, and the restriction that had blocked the group of monsters for most of the day shattered, and two figures rushed over.
A young boy and an old man in a green robe, they were none other than Che Laoyao and Qingbei Canglang from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
After the two old monsters entered the Hanli Secret Realm, they were not surprised at all to see that the place was empty and there did not seem to be any human cultivators.
Behind them, rays of light kept shooting in. They were their subordinates, transformed monsters that appeared here one by one.
"It seems that those people from Xiaoji Palace have really hidden in the space crack as they did in the past. I just don't know the location of the space crack. Has Fairy Feng memorized it?" The boy asked after looking around.
"How can they hide in front of the innate magical powers of my Ice Phoenix clan!" Ice Phoenix said with a cold smile.
Then, she stretched out her hand and a silver light flew out. After circling in the air for a while, it suddenly went straight to somewhere in the sky.
The Ice Phoenix looked towards that place, and suddenly flapped its wings, and appeared directly there. It tore with its claws, and after a flash of silver light, a space crack suddenly appeared.
Behind the space crack, one could faintly see brilliant rays of light emerging, enveloping three large halls.
"This is the place. Hahahaha, Fairy Feng's magical powers are truly amazing!" The boy laughed, holding up a huge flag, and immediately rushed towards the crack.
“Whoosh!”
A green light flashed, and the old demon Che drilled into the space crack. The Ten Thousand Demons Banner shook, and in an instant, gray mist rose from the huge flag, which immediately propped up the space crack and continued to expand it.
Upon seeing this, the Blue-backed Wolf and the other transformed monsters rushed in, appeared in front of the three virtual spirit palaces, and bombarded the restrictions above.
"boom!"
There was a shaking that was much more violent than before, causing everyone to look surprised.
Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes became unfathomable.
"Are those monsters attacking the main body of the Void Spirit Palace?" the white-haired old woman couldn't help but ask.
"Impossible! How could the Xu Ling Palace escape into the void and be attacked by those monsters?" said another Xiaoji Palace cultivator next to Bai Mengxin.
But as soon as he said this, his expression turned ugly.
If the monster did not attack the Void Spirit Palace, then where did this shaking come from?
Could it be that the three Void Palaces did not have enough time to escape into the void?
But this is unlikely. There are still the Palace Master and many elders of Xiaoji Palace outside. There is no way they can let the monsters break in before the Xu Ling Palace disappears into the void.
An ominous premonition emerged in the hearts of Bai Mengxin and the elder of Xiaoji Palace. They looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
However, Master Hanli, who was in the ice flame, remained silent throughout the whole process, as if he was completely unaware of the changes outside.
After a moment, he suddenly slapped the top of his head with one hand. A muffled groan was heard, and a ball of blue light wrapped around a Nascent Soul several inches in size flew out.
Yuanying let out a low cry, suddenly opened his eyes, and quickly moved his hands, casting out magic spells.
When Ye Changsheng and others saw this, they immediately changed the shape of the extremely cold flames in their hands.
These extremely cold flames condensed together below Master Hanli's Nascent Soul and actually formed a halo.
The magic formulas in Master Hanli's Yuanying's hands emitted rays of light that hit the halo beneath him.
A roar suddenly came from under his body, and the light wheel changed, condensing into a lotus of light in the blink of an eye.
Master Hanli's Nascent Soul closed its eyes and fell straight down into the lotus of light. The petals of the lotus closed together to form a bud, wrapping Master Hanli's Nascent Soul inside.
Then, the lotus flashed away, wrapped around the Nascent Soul and returned to Master Hanli's body.
Upon seeing this, Ye Changsheng and the others immediately released extremely cold flames, which entered Master Hanli's body and began to refine the lotus.
It was completely quiet inside the Xuanyu Cave, as if it had nothing to do with the ups and downs of the outside world.
However, outside Xuanyu Cave and in front of Xuling Palace, the situation was already in chaos.
The sudden influx of monsters shocked the monks in Xiaoji Palace and left them in disbelief.
The Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace looked at the extremely powerful monsters in horror. After his expression changed for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Yellow Springs Ghost Mother!"
She let out a low shout, and suddenly a green ghostly figure appeared beside her, emitting a cold and powerful aura.
"Hahahaha, you finally got around to letting me out!" The green ghost laughed wildly, his voice filled with indescribable joy.
"Hmph, I let you out so that you can fight the enemy. Go and help me stop that Ice Phoenix!" The Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace shouted coldly.
"Hey, don't forget what you promised me!" The ghost laughed sinisterly and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, this ghost figure appeared in front of Bingfeng, and he exuded the strength of a late Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, this aura is at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, no worse than that of the great elder of Xiaoji Palace, Master Hanli.
The aura of the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace seemed to be quite inferior to that of this ghost.
Bing Feng was also stunned when she saw the shadow, and then she recognized the other party's identity.
"The Ghost Mother of the Underworld, it's actually you?" Bing Feng's expression changed slightly and she shouted coldly.
"It's rare that the Lord of the Ice Sea actually knows my name!"
"I heard that you could have advanced to the Spiritual Transformation Stage when I just completed my corpse transformation, but now you are still stuck at the tenth level of cultivation. Are you afraid of the imbalance of the vitality of the human world and thus lose your own essence?"
"But it's not pleasant to suppress your own realm. Besides, even if you, the Ice Phoenix, have a long lifespan, you won't be able to hold on any longer if you don't advance, right?"
As soon as the ghost called the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother appeared, she immediately revealed many of Bing Feng's secrets, which made Bing Feng's face change drastically.
"Hmph, what can you do even if you know more? Do you think you can stop me?" The Ice Phoenix said coldly, and with a flap of its wings, a blanket of white cold flames rushed towards the ghost, with no intention of being polite to the other party.
The ghost was flashing green light all over, and actually emitted a green flame, blocking the white cold flame of the Ice Phoenix.
"It's actually the Yellow Springs Ghost Mother. Can the Palace Master actually drive this kind of ghost?" When some elders of Xiaoji Palace saw this scene, their faces changed drastically.
Most of them have heard of the reputation of the Yellow Springs Ghost Mother.
She was originally a human cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. As she had no hope of breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, she transformed her corpse into a ghost and practiced the ghost path. As a result, her life span increased greatly and she now had a lifespan similar to that of a monster.
