Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 160 Six Paths Alliance
"The sword flag of Xuanzhen Sect."

Hu Zhenyue's cheeks twitched, and he twirled the whip in his palm three times before turning his horse around. "Let's go! Back home!"

On the watchtower, Mo Shisan looked at the dust raised by the Hu family's cavalry, and heard the sound of gears meshing.

The 3,600 black steel bricks on the outer wall of the fortress are being moved, revealing honeycomb crossbows, ready to go at any time.

Tiangong Fortress is waiting for the news sent back by Hong Baichuan and others. Once confirmed, the Tiangong disciples anchored below the Guiku Abyss will send a signal.

The dusk dyed the remaining clouds rusty, and the sound of pine waves on the mountain ridge was mixed with the intermittent crows' calls.

"These brats, after a few days of peace, have become lawless."

In the distance, three people were galloping towards them. They were Xu Yunfan and his group who were rushing back to Shuzhou from Qingyue Xuanzhen Sect.

There were three of them when they went down the mountain, but when they came back they were surrounded by disciples of Xuanzhen Sect.

Who doesn't want to have a good weapon in their hands? Since the sect leader has set the tone and Tiangong Cave has been incorporated into Lingnan Dao, and it is a major weapon-making sect, it is natural to protect one or two...

Of course, I'll also see if I can make myself a good weapon.

Standing on a mountain ridge, Xiong Kun's iron tower-like figure stood on the edge, and the bluestone was sunken three inches under his feet.

"Some time ago, when the Xianghuo Cult was causing chaos, the Hu family, a pack of jackals, aided and abetted the evil, committing countless evil deeds. Last month, they even dared to transport the blood urn for the Xianghuo Cult. If I hadn't been unable to come down the mountain, I would have wiped out their entire family!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but glance at Xiong Kun, who was a little annoyed.

I have never seen you so angry when the six top sects of the six major Zhou Daos and seventy-nine states sat idly by and did nothing.

Three days ago, when I passed the border of Yongzhou in Lingnan Road, I clearly saw that the patrolling disciples of Xuanzhen Sect turned a blind eye to the tragic scene of the burning city, but now they put on such an air of righteousness.

However, this matter just passed through Xu Yunfan's mind and he did not show it at all.

The values ​​of these high-ranking top sects are completely different from the universal values ​​at the bottom.

Fundamentally speaking, they are the high and mighty Celestial Dragons, and the so-called justice in their hearts is very different from the universal justice at the bottom.

"Senior Brother Xiong, be careful with your words."

The accompanying white-faced Taoist priest pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"The Hu family committed this crime, and Xuanzhen Sect will deal with it according to the Six Paths Covenant."

Before he finished speaking, a startled bird suddenly flew up from the end of the mountain path, and dozens of black-maned horses came galloping through the mist. The people on the saddles were all wearing black clothes embroidered with gold patterns, which was the logo of the Law Enforcement Hall of Qingyue Xuanzhen Sect.

"Humph, the Six Paths Covenant again."

Xiong Kun looked worried. "Back then, I led the disciples of Zilang Peak down the mountain to stop the Xianghuo Sect in Yongzhou, but we were pinned down on the mountain by several elders, unable to move an inch. They were talking about this ridiculous alliance, but today they're really getting more active. I saw some disciples go down the mountain a few days ago, under the pretext of exorcising demons and defending the Dao, to clean up the Xianghuo Sect."

The white-faced Taoist's face darkened slightly. "Brother, if you continue to talk nonsense, I might punish you according to the sect's rules!"

After hearing this, Xiong Kun hummed for a while, but ultimately said nothing more.

The six major sects have always used the "Covenant" as a fig leaf, and today they acted so vigorously and decisively, as if they were eager to silence the gossips of the people.

He watched as the disciples of the Xuanzhen Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, weapons in hand, swiftly advanced to ambush the Hu family. Faintly, he could hear roars and wails coming from the mountain below. A mountain breeze, carrying the scent of blood, swept past his nose, and he suddenly remembered the folk songs sung by storytellers in Beiye City, Qingzhou.

"Bodhisattva sits in the Golden Palace, chanting Amitabha amidst the pile of bones"

When the Xuanzhen Sect members passed the last Broken Dragon Cliff, a dull metallic roar suddenly came from the entire ridge, and the smoke emitted by the steam was full of clouds and mist.
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall tightened the reins in their hands. Thirty feet away, deep in the clouds, sixteen giant steel limbs emitting a cold dark green light were slowly flexing and extending like the legs of a giant spider.

The surface of each column, which is more than thirty feet in diameter, is covered with large and small gear sets, and hundreds of black steel transmission chains make a dragon-like roar at the joints.

"This... is this the Tiangong Cave?"

The law enforcement disciple in the front row almost fell off his horse.

They originally thought that the so-called relocation was just hundreds of disciples carrying boxes and baskets and walking in a winding manner.

But what he saw before him was a gigantic monster cast entirely of black iron, its tortoise-shell armored shell covered with rivets thicker than a human being, with a towering mechanical tiger's head embedded in the center of its carapace, and armor-piercing crossbows glittering coldly protruding from each eaves. On the top of the tower, there were thirty-two bronze cantilevers folding and closing, and the sound of gears meshing made one's teeth ache.

It is actually much higher than the mountain in front of us.

The whip in Xiong Kun's hand snapped into two pieces.

The biggest thing he had ever seen was the Four Elephant War Beasts raised in the back mountain of Qingyue Mountain of Xuanzhen Sect. Compared with the mobile fortress in front of him, those three-meter-tall prehistoric beasts were like a mountain cat meeting a saber-toothed tiger.

When three streams of white steam spurted out from the bottom of the fortress, the rubble within a five-mile radius actually trembled slightly with the rhythm of the sixteen supporting pillars rising and falling, as if the entire mountain had become a plaything under the feet of this mechanical giant.

"The Mohist mechanical city recorded in 'The Exploitation of the Works of Nature'... is actually real..."

The compass needle hidden in the sleeve of the white-faced Taoist priest was spinning wildly.

He noticed that when each black steel limb landed, the huge buffer device would hit the ground and create spider-web-like cracks. At the same time, a force extended upward from the layers of the earth, providing at least half of the kinetic energy for the next lift of the foot.

This is the Tiangong Department's unique secret method, the "Earth Vein Guiding Technique", which can transform the power of the mountains into kinetic energy for mechanisms.

Even more terrifying was the armor plates on the flanks of the fortress that slowly opened, revealing the honeycomb-shaped launch nests inside. Each hexagonal hole flashed with the cold blue light unique to thunder and fire bombs.

The mountain breeze brought the unique smell of sulfur from the cast iron furnace, mixed with the burnt smell of whale oil escaping from the gear box.

After watching for a long time, Xiong Kun withdrew his gaze and said with emotion, "No wonder the Sect Master attaches so much importance to your Tiangong Cave. You have actually recreated the ancient Mohist Mechanical City."

Hong Baichuan tapped the black steel spider leg forged from black steel that passed in front of him. The metallic vibration was mixed with the sound of gears meshing.

"Brother Xiong, you're too kind. Compared to the Mohist Mechanical City, this fortress is nothing more than a moving iron tortoise."

He pointed to a spider leg joint somewhere in the southwest corner, where steam was emitting a sulfurous white mist from the heat sink. "A true Mohist city would have eaves that could transform into wings, gates that could serve as shields, and 360 mechanisms that could coordinate with the celestial sphere. Unlike us, who toiled for millennia to add a few legs to this iron shell, back then, the Mohist mechanical city might have hovered in the sky, floating among the clouds. We're nothing like this, wasting so much energy forging a lump of iron that only knew how to move."

Xiong Kun's gilded wristband collided with the black steel leg, sparks flying.

The master of Zilang Peak of Xuanzhen Sect was born with extraordinary appearance. Even though his nine-foot-tall body was wrapped in a wide Taoist robe, it still couldn't hide his strong body.

The vigorous blood that occasionally surges in the body is eye-catching.
