Chapter 354: Guarding Ningfeng Island (1)
After Elder Lin said that, two layers of Dharma phase light, one red and one blue, immediately emanated from the surface of his body, which was his two phases of water and fire.
Then he opened his mouth and squirted, and two three-foot flying swords, one red and one blue, flew out. It was his natal magic weapon, water and fire, against swords.
Elder Lin waved his swords and flew towards the insect cloud with thousands of sword lights around him. Countless sword energy crisscrossed, and a trace of water vapor and a little spark in the air turned into extremely sharp sword energy. Although there were many strange insects in the insect swarm, they could not get close to Elder Lin's body.
Li Muran praised secretly, and then flew towards the insect group with a flash.
After approaching the swarm of insects, he took out a stack of jade talismans from his arms, and then sacrificed them all and stimulated them one by one.
Then, these jade talismans turned into Mars and burst out, turning into countless red flame meteors in the air, and burst again, splashing out countless flames.
In an instant, Mars were splashing everywhere in the sky, and bursting continuously. Countless fireballs of all sizes fell down like meteors, falling into the insect clouds, and then burst out one after another.
These Tianhuohuo Talismans are known for their wide attack range and strong destructive power. They are very effective in dealing with this large area of insect clouds.
Under the attack of the two of them with gorgeous sword energy, the insect cloud was defeated in an instant and could not pose any threat to them.
Then, the two turned into a ray of escape light and floated away, leaving the insect cloud behind them from afar.
Elder Lin said: "Although these strange insects are unknown, their power is average. With our cultivation level in the Dharma Act, as long as we do not have the luck to encounter several of the terrible insect kings, they will naturally be safe and sound. However, if a low-level disciple below the Divine Travel Period encounters a swarm of insects alone, it may be difficult to escape."
Li Muran and the other two quickly flew out of the demon sea area and flew to a transit island with a teleportation array.
Not long after, the two passed by an island that was more than a hundred miles wide. There were originally thousands of mortals and a small number of immortal cultivators stationed on the island, but at this time, the island was quiet and no one could see it.
Not only was there no one, but even the trees, flowers and plants on the island were empty and there were only some withered branches. As for the stone building tools, they were very complete, as if all signs of life on the island disappeared in an instant.
Li Muran's heart moved, it was exactly the same as the insect scourge recorded in the classics. Wherever the insects passed, all living beings were destroyed, and no grass was born, as if they were dead.
"It seems that this island was besieged by insect swarms not long ago and lost," Elder Lin sighed: "During the insect scourge, people with a little ability will try to take refuge in the big island. After all, the big island has stronger defenses and more monks gather. If an island like this is a small island, once it is unlucky to encounter a large number of insect swarms, no one on the island will survive."
"For high-level cultivators, insect disasters are not a major disaster. You can avoid them in time and go to the big island. But for mortals, insect disasters every two or three hundred years are undoubtedly more terrifying natural disasters than thunder storms, tsunamis, and demon waves. Every time an insect disaster breaks out, many small island creatures are suffering."
"However, the insect plague will not last too long; after the insect plague, people will naturally migrate to those uninhabited islands and continue to reproduce and will soon flourish again."
Li Muran nodded, and the two flew over the island without stopping.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the transit island with a teleportation array. At this time, a large number of monks gathered on the island, and many monks rushed here one after another.
It is obvious that the insect scourge has spread in the nearby immortal cultivation world, and everyone is eager to return to major islands such as Yunlan Island to take refuge, and they all have to use the teleportation array here.
Usually, it is natural that people who can gather together every one or two hours to get a wave of teleportation. At this time, countless monks are rushing to leave this island, and the capacity of the teleportation array is not enough.
Outside the hall where the teleportation array was located, a large number of monks gathered, and everyone rushed towards the hall, and there were arguments coming from time to time, which was in chaos.
Outside the hall, seven or eight guards were trying their best to stop these monks. Fortunately, these guards represented a larger cultivator nearby. Although the monks were eager to rush into the hall, they did not dare to use magical powers unruly.
Li Muran frowned. When he encountered a great disaster of life and death that he could not resist, these immortal cultivators were not much different from those of mortals.
"Get out of the way" Elder Lin shouted softly. A trace of true magic power was secretly circulated in his voice. The sound was not loud, but it shocked the monks each jumped in their hearts.
Everyone was shocked and looked up and saw Li Muran and the others flying in the air.
"It turned out to be the elders and seniors of the Gu Shen Palace." Everyone was shocked. The status of the Gu Shen Palace was self-evident, and the elders of the Gu Shen Palace had a transcendent status. Everyone immediately calmed down and retreated aside, leaving a wide passage for Li Muran and Elder Lin.
The guards immediately opened the ban at the entrance of the hall and asked Li Muran and the others to enter.
Li Muran and the others flew into the hall without any hesitation. The guards in the hall were responsible for inspiring teleportation. When they saw Li Muran and the others appear, they were slightly stunned and immediately saluted and worshiped respectfully.
"No need to be polite to me and I have to rush to Yunlan Island immediately," Li Muran said lightly.
"It's my junior, let's arrange it now." The guard immediately summoned the ten people who were already standing in the teleportation array, and then asked Li Muran and Elder Lin to enter the array.
The ten people dared not say a word, let alone object.
"This magic circle can teleport ten people at a time, and let eight cultivators teleport together," Li Muran ordered.
"Yes" the guard agreed and immediately let eight of them return to the teleportation array. The eight people naturally squeezed aside and tried to give up some space for Li Muran and the others.
Li Muran didn't care. When he was a low-level disciple, he was so staying away from him when he met a high-level monk.
The guard skillfully stimulated the teleportation array, and a flash of glow in the array. After a moment, Li Muran and others appeared on Yunlan Island.
Li Muran and Elder Lin immediately flew to the Gu Shen Palace, and the incident of insect disasters had been circulating in the sect.
Li Muran and the other two met Elder Liu and reported to the sect the explanation and instructions of the Supreme Elder Yu Zhenren. Elder Liu said that the Gu Shen Palace, including the elders, would work together to guard Yunlan Island, but since it was the Supreme Elder's order, the two of them could take their disciples and a small number of people to guard Ningfeng Island.
The task assigned by Yu Zhenren is tight, and the two of them don’t have much time to stay on the island, and they will set off in half a day.
Li Muran called his disciple Wu Gong, who was already a late-stage monk in Shenyou. Li Muran knew that he had a wide range of friendship and ordered him to invite several Shenyou disciples who were good at formations to wait for his dispatch together. Wu Gong also heard about the insect disaster and was not surprised. After hearing Li Muran's orders, he immediately went to execute.
But Li Muran himself took the opportunity to go to Yunluan Palace.
Whenever something major happened, the elders would gather in Yunluan Palace at the same time, either discuss countermeasures or exchange information. Li Muran planned to ask the experienced elders how to resist insect storms.
After Li Muran came here, some elders bowed to him with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Junior Brother Li."
Li Muran was stunned: "Why are you happy?"
Elder Feng smiled and said, "The insect disaster has appeared, and the temple has been opened. Now the insect disaster has broken out. The temple of Gu will be opened soon. Junior Brother Li has already had the Gu God Order and will soon be able to go to the Gu God Temple to get opportunities. Isn't this a happy event?"
"Not it? I'm waiting for it. I don't know if I can get a Gu God Order. The Gu God Temple only opened once every two or three hundred years. If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no next time." An elder with white hair sighed. His eyes looked at Li Muran, full of envy.
Li Muran shook his head secretly. The terrible insect storm was undoubtedly a huge thing in the eyes of mortals; but in the eyes of these high-level monks, it was just a signal that the Gu Temple was about to open.
He heard these elders talk for a long time, and his words were completely about the affairs of the Gu Temple, and no one mentioned how to deal with the insect scourge.
Li Muran sighed in his heart. After a few simple polite words with these elders, he left Yunluan Palace. When he left, Elder Feng and others were still discussing the candidates for the thirty Gu God Orders. Obviously, the Gu God Order is a hundred times more important to them than insect scourges.
Wu Gong was very skilled in doing things. Not long after, he brought seven or eight monks from the Divine Travel Period to see Li Muran, all of whom wanted to follow Li Muran to carry out the mission of guarding Ningfeng Island.
"You are indeed reliable in doing things. You have found so many people in just one or two hours," Li Muran praised his disciples.
Wu Gong was quite disappointed. He sighed: "Using his disciple's connections and master's name, he could not only recruit seven or eight people, even hundreds of them, but now that the insect scourge has broken out, everyone is in danger and dare not leave Yunlan Island. Those who usually have a happy conversation with their disciples and claim to be deeply intimate. When they heard that they were leaving this island for missions, they all made excuses to avoid it. They could not imagine that Wu Gong's daily friendship is vast, but when they really wanted to serve their master, they could only invite seven or eight friends."
Li Muran smiled slightly: "You can have seven or eight life-and-death friends, it is very rare for you to have been a teacher to enter the world of immortal cultivation for more than a hundred years. There are not many life-and-death friends, and there are many unimaginable enemies of life and death."
