Chapter 767: The holder of the Book of the Netherworld’s fragments-Xu Qi ‘an (1)

Jian province, Yue clan Manor.

Daoist Bailian, who was about 40 years old, had a round face and a well-rounded figure. He was wearing a black Daoist robe with his black hair tied up and inserted with an ebony Daoist hairpin. He looked simple and casual, with the grace of a woman.

White Lotus Daoist priest, who used to be gentle and easy-going with a smile on his face all the time, now had a serious expression on his face as he walked silently in the outer area of the villa.

More than a dozen disciples followed behind her, clearing the obstacles and trying to set up a new array.

This place had just experienced an artillery bombardment. The shells fell like meteorites, creating huge and deep pits one after another. The shock waves lifted the bluestone slabs on the ground and destroyed houses and trees.

One of the Heaven and Earth Society’s disciples was unfortunately hit by the cannon, leaving no corpse behind. Two of the Heaven and Earth Society’s disciples were seriously injured.

Ever since they escaped from the earth sect, this group of earth sect disciples who had maintained their rationality and didn’t fall to the devil path had changed their name to the “heaven and earth Association.”

Most importantly, a corner of the formation arranged by the head of Golden Lotus sect in the villa had been forcibly torn open, and it could no longer block the surging enemies, including those who were not strong but had a large number of Jianghu people.

Wandering cultivators in Jianghu had always been a headache. They were numerous, their methods were despicable, and they were willing to shed their blood in order to obtain resources.

After all, without a backer, he couldn’t let go of any opportunities to advance.

“Martial uncle White Lotus …”

A disciple in a light blue Daoist robe ran over with tears in his eyes. He choked and said, “”Junior Brother Ling Zhen, he, he …”

Before she could finish her words, she started crying.

Ling Zhen was one of the disciples who was seriously injured. His injuries were too severe, and he couldn’t be saved. He had not cultivated the yin spirit, so he was dead, no different from an ordinary person.

Behind White Lotus, the eyes of the dozen or so disciples reddened.

After the earth sect’s Dao chief had joined the devil, most of the disciples had also fallen to the devil path and become demons. Right now, they only had 36 disciples who were still conscious, and losing one would be a huge loss. Right now, there were only thirty-four disciples left in the earth sect.

“He will be with us in another form.” The beautiful woman sighed.

“Martial uncle White Lotus, didn’t you say that Golden Lotus Daoist priest invited the owners of the book of the nether world’s fragments to help? Where are they? why haven’t they come yet?”

A female disciple asked with tears in her eyes.

Hearing this, the rest of the disciples also looked over, their eyes shining slightly. This was because martial uncle White Lotus had emphasized to everyone more than once that the owners of the fragments of the Book of the Earth were all proud sons of heaven with powerful abilities.

He would definitely be able to help them guard the Lotus seed and survive this disaster.

“It’ll come, it’ll come …”

The White Lotus Daoist priest kept consoling her disciples. She did not reveal her worries. The recent artillery bombardment was really beyond her expectations.

According to the arrangement of the Golden Lotus Dao head, the Yue clan’s Villa was a formation. Every holder of a fragment of the book of the nether world guarded a position. With the power of the formation, they could block the enemies and delav the ripening of the Lotus seeds.

Once the Lotus seeds ripened, Golden Lotus Daoist priest would be able to recover part of his combat strength. Furthermore, he would no longer have to defend the villa, and they could fight as they retreated. In the end, they successfully retreated.

“What we need to do now is to repair the formation and block this gap.” White Lotus ordered.

The disciples didn’t say anything more and got busy. They were either cleaning up the ruins or repairing the formation.

Looking at their busy backs, the beautiful woman furrowed her delicate eyebrows and sighed. In fact, she didn’t even know who the owner of the fragment of the Book of the Netherworld was or whether it could help them survive this crisis.

“Meow …”

At this time, a few orange cats emerged from the bushes and quietly watched the busy disciples.

These cats were brought back by Daoist priest Golden Lotus and had been kept in the villa for a while. They usually wandered around the villa and did not run away, as if they were the owners of this place.

They really didn’t know why the Golden Lotus Taoist priest fell in love with keeping cats after going out for a short while. However, the female disciples quite liked these cats. They liked to hug and play with them when they were not cultivating.

White Lotus Daoist looked at the cats and smiled.

“Martial uncle White Lotus, is there any use in repairing the formation? Even if we repair it, the next round of artillery fire will easily destroy our results …”

A young disciple threw away the materials in his hand as if he was venting his anger. His eyes were red, and he was indignant and helpless.”We’re not astrologers, so we can’t inscribe a formation that can block cannonballs.

“We, we can’t guard the Lotus seeds. The demonic Dao that had fallen to the demonic path, martial Union, and the sudden appearance of the Imperial court’s forces … Why should we defend, why?”

His emotions spread to the other disciples, and they all looked at their work in silence, then at Daoist White Lotus.

The graceful and pretty middle-aged Daoist nun’s heart trembled. She knew that the disciples were on the verge of collapse. During this time, all the individual cultivators had gathered in a small town a dozen miles away.

This included martial Union, the earth sect, and the demonic priest, as well as the Imperial court’s forces that could deploy magic weapons and cannons.

The Yue clan villa had sent disciples to infiltrate and disguise themselves as martial artists to collect this information in secret. It was because of this that they knew how powerful the enemy was.

The worry and fear that had been pent up in his heart for so many days were ignited by the artillery bombardment just now.

don’t worry, we still have the wielder of the book of the nether world’s fragments. We’re not alone and helpless …

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by a young female disciple. She squatted on the ground and retorted loudly, “”ln fact, there is no wielder of the book of the nether world’s fragments, right, master?

“If there really are reinforcements, if there really is a holder of a fragment of the Book of the Netherworld, why didn’t you know? You didn’t tell us because you were lying to us..”
