Chapter 269 Return
Lin Xiao returned to the mountain city when the ghost army was preparing to launch a second wave of attacks on Kunlun Mountain City.
The news of Lin Xiao's return shocked everyone in Kunlun Mountain City. Hundreds of monks were captured by ghosts and returned to Wuyun City. In the end, only Lin Xiao survived, and the news of her safe escape spread throughout Kunlun Mountain City in an instant.
Huo Yuanchun and Song Zuixian also got the news of Lin Xiao's return. Huo Yuanchun immediately summoned Lin Xiao in the Presbyterian Church, but Song Zuixian avoided it because there was a gap between him and Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was captured to Wuyun City, and then designed the whole process of escaping from Wuyun City to inform Huo Yuanchun. In addition to sighing, Huo Yuanchun also rewarded Lin Xiao, so he returned to the Zimen station to prepare for the next attack of the ghost clan.
When Lin Xiao was about to leave, Huo Yuanchun suddenly remembered something, stopped Lin Xiao, and then said slowly, "Lin Xiao, I know that you are still resent the person who designed to framed you behind your back. I still don't know who he is, but I don't think that person is the first seat of Song."
Lin Xiao turned around and said coldly, "Why is the first seat of fire so sure that the first seat of Song is not that person?"
Huo Yuanchun said, "Brother Song has told me about this. He did not set up a 'soul array' to frame you with a personality guarantee. He was not able to send troops to rescue 'Xinglin' in time that day, and it was also because he wanted to refine elixir for Xie Qinghou. Brother Song and I started at the same time and took Brother Song as a person. I understand that he should not be the one who uses such a despicable means.
Lin Xiao sneered and said, "Since Song Shouzuo insisted that this was not his fault, how dare he find Yan Hai to confront him?"
Huo Yuanchun was stunned when he heard the words, and then shook his head regretfully, "It's also my fault that I didn't think well and let Yanhai return to Kunlun Mountain City alone. After that, I searched Kunlun Mountain City, but I never saw any trace of him again. I'm afraid he has fled here now."
Lin Xiao was silent when he heard the words, but in his heart, he became more determined to doubt Song Zuixian. Yan Hai disappeared. I'm afraid it was not that he escaped, but he was silenced.
Seeing that Lin Xiao was silent, Huo Yuanchun knew that if there was not enough evidence, Lin Xiao would never easily believe Song Zuixian, so he shook his head and let Lin Xiao retreat first.
When Lin Xiao left, Song Zuixian slowly came out of the dark. He looked at Lin Xiao's disappeared back and then snorted coldly, "I'm afraid this boy hates me to the bone now. It's also fate that he didn't fall into the fog cloud city. I'm afraid it will have enough headaches in the future.
Huo Yuanchun snorted coldly, "Brother Song, anyway, Lin Xiao has made great contributions to my Lingxu Palace this time. I don't want you to target Lin Xiao and Zimen everywhere in the future. Although Lin Xiao has offended you before, let the past grudges pass!"
Song Zuixian shrugged his shoulders, "If this boy is interesting and doesn't provoke me, I naturally won't do anything to him. However, hum, if he doesn't provoke me for a long time, I won't be polite to him."
...
After leaving the Presbyterian Church, Lin Xiao had not returned to the area where Zimen was located in Kunlun Mountain City, but he met Ji Yao of Yunmen.
Seeing Lin Xiao's safe return, Ji Yao seemed to be relieved. She took a few steps and said shyly to Lin Xiao, " Elder Lin, I'm really sorry. If it hadn't been for the late rescue that day, you wouldn't have been captured by the ghosts."
Lin Xiao smiled and said, " Elder Ji doesn't have to blame himself. I, Lin Xiaofu, have a great life, and naturally I won't be harmed by those conspiracy and tricks."
At this time, several people came over in the distance, but they were elders and true disciples such as Lingkong and Yuan Yu.
After celebrating Lin Xiao's escape from Wuyun City, Yuan Yu said apologetically: "Ege Lin, it's my Yuan Yu who can't feel sorry for you. If I make my own decisions on that day and lead the army to support, I won't let you and the rest of the monks be captured alive by the ghost army."
Lin Xiao did not notice the trace of resentment in Yuan Yu's eyes when he saw Lin Xiao's return, but said generously to Yuan Yu, "Original Commander, you were not in charge of this matter. You did not mobilize the military power of the three armies in your hand, and you were just ordered to act."
Yuan Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Xiao was not suspicious of himself. Then he then asked, "This time, Elder Lin was captured into Wuyun City, and then he was able to escape safely. It's really behind Fuze. I don't know if Elder Lin has inquired about any important information about ghosts in Wuyun City?"
Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "There is a ghost king in Wuyun City. How dare I stay in it for a long time? It's my life to escape, but I didn't find out anything about the information inside.
At this moment, Xie Qinghou's cold voice suddenly came from the distance, "What are you all getting together to discuss?"
When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw Xie Qinghou, dressed in dark green Taoist robe, slowly coming over. Lin Xiao quickly came out of the crowd and saluted Xie Qinghou, "Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Seeing Lin Xiao's safe return, Xie Qinghou was also relieved and nodded slightly.
The rest of the crowd, Xie Qinghou, seemed to have something to discuss with Lin Xiao, so they left one after another.
Lin Xiao then followed Xie Qinghou back to the Zimen camp.
Along the way, Xie Qinghou kept silent. It was not until he was about to reach the Zimen camp that he stopped and said in a low voice: "After these dozens of days of fighting, in addition to those elders, there are only more than 50 monks left from Zimen this time. This time, our Purple Gate has suffered heavy losses.
Lin Xiao also felt a pain when he heard the words, and then slowly asked, "What will Zongmen arrange for our purple door next?"
"Considering that our Zimen lost too much in the battle of the 'Shu Jianglin', we have issued a decree that other Zimen monks in Zimen can temporarily leave the battle group and rest in order to rest in addition to the Jindanjing elders who still need to participate in the next battle."
Lin Xiao was finally relieved when he heard the words. The remaining purple gate monks were all elite of purple gate, but they could not withstand the loss.
However, thinking of the culprit who caused the heavy damage to Zimen, Lin Xiao said fiercely, "If the reinforcements hadn't come so late, our Zimen would not have been so hard hit!"
Xie Qinghou said coldly, "I heard that you were framed when you were in the 'Xu Jianglin' and almost fell?"
Lin Xiao nodded, told Yan Hai's arrangement of a 'soul array' to frame him, and then said slowly, "I suspect that this matter was done by Song, and the reinforcements have not set out for a long time. I'm afraid it was also his instructions."
Xie Qinghou shook his head, "I don't know whether the first master of Song framed you, but you misunderstood the first seat of Song. When Ji Yao came back to ask for reinforcements, Song Shoushi was closed to refine an elixir for me. He didn't know anything about the attack of 'Xianglin'."
"Before Song's first retreat, he handed over the military power to Yuan Yu, but he did not report the military situation to Song's first place, so that he delayed the military plane and was severely reprimanded by Song's first."
Lin Xiao's heart was moved when he heard the words and immediately doubted Yuan Yuxin. Could it be that he deliberately concealed the military situation and did not report to Song Zuixian?
But he had no grievances or hatred with him in the past, and he didn't have any agency to harm himself at all?
For the time being, he couldn't figure out the details, so Lin Xiao shook his head, but secretly became wary of Yuan Yusheng in his heart.
At this time, Xie Qinghou said again: "The young disciples of Zimen have a chance to breathe, but we elders are not idle for a moment and still have to go to the battlefield. You have just escaped from Wuyun City. I'm afraid you can't rest for too long and continue to fight. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "I just need to go to the spirit house to recuperate for a night. It doesn't matter."
...
In the next few days, the ghost army launched waves of attacks on Kunlun Mountain City, but it was blocked by the Lingxu Palace monks with the broad walls of Kunlun Mountain City and the powerful moat.
Huo Yuanchun and Song Zuixian had a decree for a long time. As long as the monks of Lingxu Palace could stick to Kunlun Mountain City for half a month, it would be convenient for reinforcements from other sects in the Kunlun secret land. Therefore, the monks of Lingxu Palace were determined to fight one by one and refused to take a step back.
Seeing the crazy attack of the ghost army, they still couldn't open even a small gap in Kunlun Mountain City. Li Luo and Youlan were very anxious. In the end, they were forced to go out in person and rush to the front line of the ghost army.
Under the leadership of the existence of the two ghost generals, the ghost army was loyal to achieve certain results and was about to fight under the wall of Kunlun Mountain City. However, at this time, Huo Yuanchun and Song Zuixian also flew out of Kunlun Mountain City and fought against Liluo and Youlan respectively on the front line.
Two ghost generals and two Yuanying monks, each used their magical power and fought in the dark. There were no ghosts and monks who dared to approach within a kilometer of the four people, and vaguely opened up a small battlefield in the big battlefield.
And above the wall of Kunlun Mountain City, Lin Xiao was responsible for leading a group of monks to guard a section of the city wall.
He stood in front of him in a long purple robe, commanding Ruo Ding, and instructions came from his mouth one by one, and the monks standing behind him attacked the ghost soldiers who hit the bottom of the wall one by one.
The ghost army is like a huge wave, while Lin Xiao and the monks behind him rely on the protection of the wall and formation, guarding them as firmly as a rock, not allowing ghost soldiers to get close to one point.
The ghost servant who led the ghost army under the wall wanted to rely on his strong strength to break into the moat, but was repulsed by Lin Xiao.
It didn't take long for the ghost waiter to lead the ghost army to attack and sense the strength of Lin Xiao's strength, so they no longer dared to rush forward alone, but two or three ghost waiters joined hands to deal with Lin Xiao.
Although he is one against two, or even one against three, Lin Xiao is still fearless and is firmly at the head of the city.
Lin Xiao's powerful strength immediately stimulated the morale of the monks behind him. These monks jointly launched a fierce attack on the ghost army under the wall, and the ghost soldiers under the wall that Lin Xiao was responsible for guarding were suddenly emptied a lot.
With Lin Xiao's victory as an example, the monks in the rest of the city wall became more and more powerful, and soon annihilated the vanguard of the ghost army.
Li Luo and Youlan fought hard, but they couldn't help Huo Yuanchun and Song Zuixian. Seeing the heavy casualties of their subordinates, they had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat.
The monks of the Lingxu Palace once again forced back the army of ghosts, and all the monks cheered on the wall.
Lin Xiao also stood on the wall in the cheers of the monks behind him, with divine power.
On the wall guarded by Yunmen, Ji Yao looked at Lin Xiao's side face, and a wisp of tenderness appeared in her eyes.
And farther away, Yuan Yu stared coldly at Lin Xiao's back, but a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
