Chapter 803: Old Tricks Again
Flame Dragon Palace.
Qin Ziling sat on the throne representing the position of the head of the family.
On the left and right sides sat the brothers Xu Bogu and Xu Boyu respectively.
Below them sat five seventh-rank true immortals and ten sixth-rank true immortals.
These fifteen people are the most core and trustworthy descendants of the Xu family.
This time they all gained a lot of benefits. Not only did they get the Wuchen Immortal Pill which could increase their immortal power, but they also got the precious "Du'e Immortal Pill".
Among them, one person relied on this opportunity to quickly advance to the seventh-grade True Immortal, and three people relied on this opportunity to quickly advance to the sixth-grade True Immortal.
Although the other eleven people did not make a breakthrough , their cultivation base increased greatly.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
Except for Qin Ziling, Xu Bogu and Xu Boyu, who had relatively calm expressions, the rest of the people were very serious and solemn, with a hint of uneasiness and worry in their eyes.
Because just now, the Xu family's troops on the outskirts of Dara Island sent news that the Zhou family's army was heading straight for Dara Island.
Not only that, the Zhou family army also had a crystal dragon boat and command flag representing the palace of the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Shixin.
It is obvious that Zhou Shixin has decided to disregard the rules and personally destroy the Xu family.
The power of Taoist immortals is immeasurable.
Even though Xu Boyu had seen Qin Ziling take action, he was still nervous when the Taoist immortal arrived in person.
As for the Flame Dragon Sky Protection Formation, it has not truly withstood the attacks of Taoist immortals for many years. No one is sure whether it can withstand the test.
"It's okay. Tai Shiba and Xu Sheng are already on their way. They should be here in half a day. You just need to control the formation and hold off the Zhou family's attack for half a day." Qin Ziling said when he saw everyone's serious expressions.
When everyone heard that Tai Shi Ba would arrive in half a day, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and said, "We will follow the Master's orders."
After that, everyone left, leaving only the two brothers Xu Boyu and Xu Boyu.
"This old thief Zhou is so shameless that he actually brought people here in person! Fortunately, the head master is in charge and he had foresight. He not only improved and repaired the formation, but also invited the elders of the Taishi Ba clan to come. Otherwise, my Xu family would have been exterminated today!" Xu Bogu said, feeling a mixture of fear and relief in his heart.
"It's a pity that old thief Zhou is a Taoist immortal and we can't kill him!" Xu Boyu said angrily.
"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" Qin Ziling said .
"Killing a Taoist immortal is so difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven!" Xu Bogu and Xu Boyu shook their heads and sighed when they heard this.
Qin Ziling was speechless when he saw that he had already changed ten years into ten thousand years, but these two guys were still shaking their heads and sighing.
At this moment, a shocking force with a biting chill came from the distant sky and swept towards Dara Island.
Suddenly, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and the blue sky became dark.
The cold wind was howling, and heavy snow was falling, covering the sky and the ground, covering the area of thousands of miles where Dharuo Island was located.
It was white everywhere.
As the heavy snow fell, the seabirds that were fighting the strong winds and huge waves over the sea began to cry out in pain. They were frozen and fell into the sea like dumplings.
As the heavy snow fell on the sea, the surging waves suddenly froze.
The sea surface turned into a glacier, and the terrified expressions of the aquatic creatures could be seen in the blue icebergs.
The frozen world quickly spread from the horizon towards the big and small islands, trying to freeze them as well.
At this moment, flames shot up into the sky from the bottom of the sea where the Big and Small Ruo Islands were located and spread rapidly. From a distance, it looked like a huge fire dragon connecting and entwining the Big and Small Ruo Islands.
The flames grew brighter and brighter, and soon the entire island seemed to be surrounded by flames.
The heavy snow was blown to the Big and Small Ruo Islands by the cold wind. When it touched the fire, it made a hissing sound, turned into water mist and evaporated upwards, then solidified into ice and snow and fell down.
The cold wind was howling, and heavy snow was falling madly on the Big and Small Ruo Islands. It seemed that it would not stop until the fire was extinguished, swallowing up the Big and Small Ruo Islands and freezing them.
The flames flickered in the cold wind and snow, but never went out.
"This is the Zhou family's Heavenly Cold Mysterious Ice Art. It is said that when Zhou Shixin performs it, it can freeze thousands of miles in an instant. Once frozen, people below the seventh rank of True Immortal will find it difficult to break free, and it can even freeze people below the True Immortal level to death!
Fortunately, the headmaster reconnected the broken branches of the Flame Dragon Earth Vein, otherwise Xiaoruo Island would have been frozen and all the lives would have been lost! "Xu Boyu saw this scene with awe and relief in his eyes.
Although Zhou Shixin was extremely hateful, he had to be in awe of the Taoist immortal's powerful strength!
"This Zhou Shixin is even more powerful than the old demon Youtong!" Qin Ziling did not answer Xu Boyu, but looked into the distance and made a secret judgment in his heart.
"Zi Ling, I feel the aura of the fragment! This fragment must be very large, otherwise it would be difficult for me to sense it if it was covered by the aura of the Taoist immortal and was also casting Taoist magic!" In the Niwan Palace, the one-eyed fire dragon suddenly poked its head out with excitement in its eyes.
"Really?" Qin Ziling was surprised at first, then said: "This is not easy to handle. Zhou Shixin is a Taoist immortal. Killing him here will cause too much noise. The most worrying thing is that if he is gone, it will be even more troublesome."
"Won't Tai Shi Ba be here soon? You can just repeat the trick that Jiu Xuan Shan used to kill the old demon You Tong. Lure Zhou Shixin into the Flame Dragon Sky Protection Formation, then join forces with Tai Shi Ba to kill him, and then let Tai Shi Ba take the blame!" said the Fire Dragon.
"Tai Shiba is just a person who has just broken through to become a Taoist immortal. It is hard for him to gain people's trust by killing Zhou Shixin. If someone from the Ximen family takes action to investigate, he will probably be exposed." Qin Ziling frowned.
“Tai Shiba has extraordinary talent, and he is also a golden dragon, with pure and powerful blood and a strong physique. Once he survives the heavenly tribulation, he will be more powerful than the average Taoist immortal. As long as he can endure for ten thousand years, he can be on par with a mid-level Taoist immortal.
When you left Taishi's house last time, didn't you leave him a Zhugan? It can increase his power by two to three thousand. If you give him another Yuanhui Immortal Grass and increase his power by another five thousand years, he should be able to get by.
After all, even if the Ximen family tried to test it afterwards, they would not really fight to the death, and would definitely stop at a certain point. In this way, the prestige of Tai Shiba can be fully established. "The Fire Dragon said.
"This is a good idea, but Zhou Shixin seems to be more powerful than the old demon Youtong. The Xu family's Flame Dragon Sky Protection Formation is still far less powerful than the Jiuxuan Sect's Nine Heavens and Seventy-two Earthly Evil Formation, and the strength of the person controlling the formation is far from enough..." Qin Ziling said.
"Don't worry, don't you still have me? My cultivation has been improving recently, and this Flame Dragon vein is just what I need. If Zhou Shixin really shows signs of escaping, you can just sacrifice me!
I will trap him even if I get hurt. Then you can enter the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to help me kill him. Compared to that big piece of debris, getting hurt is nothing." The Fire Dragon interrupted.
Seeing that the fire dragon, who always cherished its wings, was willing to hurt itself to kill Zhou Shixin, Qin Ziling naturally couldn't say anything. Besides, his current strength was not comparable to when he killed the old demon Youtong. So he thought for a while and said, "Since you are determined not to delay and take this opportunity to seize the fragment, then I will plan it carefully. Killing a Taoist immortal is not a trivial matter. It must be killed cleanly and neatly, and others must be speechless.
Otherwise, if a Taoist immortal died, this matter would really be reported to Yuanyou Immortal Lord, and Tai Shiba would not be able to bear the blame. Fortunately, the Zhou family was in the wrong and attacked first, and I helped Xu Boyu and Xu Sheng break through and , so many things can be justified without any loopholes. "
While Qin Ziling was communicating privately with the Fire Dragon, the Zhou family's army appeared over the distant sea.
Hundreds of true immortals, driving various magic weapons, surrounded a huge crystal dragon boat and headed straight for Dharuo Island.
On the crystal dragon boat, Zhou Shixin stood facing the wind, and behind him stood the clan elder Zhou Xingzhi.
"No wonder Zhou Gongding died on Xiaoruo Island. It turns out that the Xu family has connected the Flame Dragon veins of Dayu Island and Xiaoruo Island. The power of the formation has increased a lot. Zhou Gongding was able to break through the formation and kill his way in. It is very likely that they set up this trap intentionally."
Zhou Shixin stood on the crystal dragon boat, looking at the fire dragons flying between the two islands with flames rising. They protected the two islands and blocked the magic he was performing. His face was expressionless.
"Ancestor, what should we do now?" Zhou Xingzhi asked with a bow.
"Someone in the Xu family must have gotten the chance, otherwise the Flame Dragon veins cannot be connected. So even if it's not for the sake of Duke Zhou, we must destroy the Xu family this time and never let them rise!
However, the Xu family has a Taoist lineage and is somewhat related to the Taishi family, so they have to do some pretense before launching a full-scale attack. " Zhou Shixin said calmly.
"Xingzhi understands!" Zhou Xingzhi bowed again, then stepped out of the crystal dragon boat. A flaming sword flew out from his body and pointed at Dayuo Island in the distance.
"Xu Bogu, your Xu family killed our Zhou family's patriarch Zhou Gongding and many of his descendants. Come out now and confess your crime to our Zhou family's ancestor. Otherwise, today our Zhou family will flatten your Dayuo Island and destroy your Xu family." Zhou Xingzhi shouted loudly with arrogance.
"Master!" Xu Bogu looked at Qin Ziling.
"It seems that the Zhou family not only wants to destroy the Xu family, but also wants to claim the greater good!" Qin Ziling smiled disdainfully, and then said: "Bo Yu, you go and respond to that old guy, so that they can know that you are now a ninth-rank immortal, and Zhou Gongding must have killed them, so that Zhou Shixin won't get suspicious.
And Bo Gu, pass the order to the core disciples who control the formation to hold back some strength and not use the full power of the formation."
"Master!" Xu Boyu and Xu Bogu's faces changed slightly when they heard that.
Even though the formation had been improved and repaired, and its power had been greatly increased, the two brothers knew that in the end they would not be able to withstand the joint attack of the Taoist Immortal and many powerful men.
This is still under the premise of full operation.
If you hold back your strength and don't use it at full strength, once a corner of the formation is breached, it will be too late to remedy the situation.
