Chapter 872: Mo Han Tower appears! Military battle in the Immortal Burial Valley!
The fleet stopped and everyone couldn't help but look forward.
Just a glance.
Many people couldn't help but feel shocked.
What appeared before everyone's eyes at this moment was an extremely desolate sand dune area, but the sand was all pale white, as if all colors had disappeared in this place. Especially when combined with the ghosts of the Burial Valley that everyone had seen several times before, it made people feel as if they had arrived in the underworld.
And in the center of the sand dunes, a huge deep pit appeared.
obviously.
This is the real Burial Valley of Immortals area in the legend.
but.
The most eye-catching thing at this moment is not the deep pit of the Burial Valley, nor the sand dunes that have lost all colors and look like the realm of rebirth, but an ancient temple standing next to the deep pit of the Burial Valley, which everyone had caught a glimpse of before.
Just one glance at this ancient temple makes four words come to mind.
Time is merciless!
This ancient temple was constructed of a strange, almost inky-black stone. Even amidst the colorless dunes, it shone with a chilling glimmer. However, this radiance was extremely dim, obscured by thick dust and the scars of time.
The massive palace gate had long since vanished, leaving behind a dark, hollow entrance like a mouth screaming silently. Most of the towering roof had collapsed, leaving only a few remaining pillars, engraved with arcane runes, tilted like unyielding backbones supporting the shattered sky. Broken glazed tiles lay scattered across the ground, and the dazzling defensive talismans that once graced the buildings were now only fragmented marks, lingering on the shattered walls and stone pillars.
Like dried veins in the skin of a dying man.
If time goes back tens of millions of years, perhaps this ancient temple was once extremely glorious, but now, this dilapidated ancient temple in the sand dunes seems to have been assimilated by the sand dunes, giving people a sense of decay and decline.
"Isn't this the Immortal Burial Valley? Why is there an ancient temple here?"
"What we saw before was actually true. There really is an ancient temple in this Immortal Burial Valley. Why have we never heard of this before?"
"What is the origin of this ancient temple?"
"Do you feel that this ancient temple is somewhat familiar?"
"They do look familiar, especially those pillars. I seem to have heard of them somewhere before."
"Mo...Mo Hanlou!!!"
"..."
Amidst the discussion, someone exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the name of this ancient temple.
Mo Han Tower!
That ancient force that once reached the pinnacle of the art of talismans and dominated the world, known as the world's number one holy land of talismans, and the super existence that pushed talismans to the peak, although it has disappeared for tens of thousands of years, is still often mentioned by people.
"Legend has it that when Mo Han Lou was at its strongest, all the talisman masters in the world came from Mo Han Lou. All the talismans in the world came from Mo Han Lou. But for some reason, they suddenly disappeared without a trace ten thousand years ago. I didn't expect them to appear here!"
"Mo Hanlou, it's really Mo Hanlou!"
"Back then, countless powerful individuals sought to search for the Mo Han Tower, but unfortunately, without exception, they all came up empty-handed. There were even rumors that Xu Mozi, the founder of the talisman art, had achieved enlightenment and ascended to the immortal realm with the Mo Han Tower. And yet, he ended up here?"
"It's said that Baiyu Tower is related to Mohan Tower. There are even rumors that Baiyu Tower was founded by talisman masters who didn't want to ascend. But now that Mohan Tower appears here, and is even so weakened, those rumors are probably false."
"Look carefully, Mo Han Tower seems to be suppressing the Burial Valley!"
More and more people recognized the origin of the ancient temple, and for a moment they couldn't help but be shocked.
He never expected that he would see the legendary ancient force in this place, and he never expected that this sect, which was even rumored to have ascended to heaven, would appear in the most inappropriate place, and even to such a desolate extent.
Especially everyone noticed.
Although the Mo Han Tower has become dilapidated, there are still faint rays of light in it, like a roof, suppressing the Burial Valley of Immortals inside!
in particular……
"There's someone, there's someone inside Mo Han Tower!" Someone suddenly exclaimed, pointing at a dilapidated building in the distance. Everyone looked carefully in the direction the other person was pointing.
Sure enough, I'll see you.
In the shadow of the dark and dilapidated door of the ancient temple, a figure stood.
That's an old man.
He was hunched, withered like the last leaf hanging from a winter tree. He wore a loose robe, its original color long gone, covered in runes, now worn and dull, that hung loosely over his bony frame. His sparse, silvery hair fluttered feebly in the chill wind. His face was crisscrossed with wrinkles, his skin a grayish hue from long periods of lack of sunlight.
The only thing with color was his skinny fingers, which were stained with the color of the talisman material.
He stood there, motionless, as if he were part of the ruins.
but.
When everyone noticed him, he obviously also noticed the people on the warship at the moment. He turned his head and looked in the direction of everyone with a relieved smile in his eyes.
This smile made everyone feel a little bit thoughtful.
Some people even think that this might be an opportunity for them.
But only Gu Xiu, who was mixed in the crowd, understood that the old man was looking at him, and there was only one meaning in his eyes.
"You finally came……"
Facing the old man's gaze, Gu Xiu nodded silently in response.
And at the moment he nodded, the old man suddenly turned around and returned to the main hall in the center of the dilapidated ancient temple. He then sat cross-legged, as if he was about to pass away.
But rather.
The moment he sat down.
The once dilapidated Mohan Tower, now seemingly rewound by the force of time, began to recover bit by bit. Collapsed walls returned to their original state, and murals and pillars, eroded beyond all trace by the force of time, began to radiate with new life.
It only takes a cup of tea.
The dilapidated Mo Han Tower has actually regained its former glory!
"It's your turn to set off." At this moment, the puppet on the battleship spoke:
"The warships are activated. Head to Mohan Tower according to your respective warship numbers."
"As a reward, whether you come alone or in partnership, as long as someone can reach the door of Mohan Tower and push it open, everything I promised you before will be multiplied tenfold. At the same time, everything you gain here can be freely disposed of."
"We have only one goal."
"Push open the door of Mohan Tower!"
This was exactly what they wanted, especially since the other party emphasized that there would be no danger on this trip, which made all the warships perk up.
Immediately.
The huge fleet began to move.
However, when the fleet was in action, everyone understood why the person behind the scenes was willing to give such a generous reward. In that seemingly harmless sand dune, there were all kinds of restrictions and talismanic powers everywhere, and even formed an extremely large formation.
They were not lying, there was no danger here.
But unfortunately, this formation is extremely mysterious and is constantly changing. It is no longer an ordinary formation, but a proper military formation.
This kind of formation has a characteristic.
It is absolutely impossible to break through with individual strength!
Even Gu Xiu noticed this. No matter how strong he was in formation, he had no way to break the key point of the formation at the critical moment in this mysterious military formation by himself, because many parts of this formation required cooperation from others.
And the person behind this was obviously well prepared.
This warship itself was sent for this military formation. It relied on the puppets on the warship to control the direction and purpose of each warship. The mob on the warship drove the warship and fired the ship's guns at the appropriate time to fight against the military formation in the sand dunes.
It's like two generals commanding troops on the battlefield, controlling their men to attack continuously, fighting back and forth until the final winner is decided.
Although Gu Xiu had arrived here, he did not reveal his identity. Instead, he continued to serve as his flag officer on the warship, observing the confrontation between the two sides.
To be honest, the strength of the two sides is evenly matched.
As the defending side, Mo Hanlou has a certain degree of advantage. With the help of the formation here and the clever use of various talismans, he has created a formation that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Mo Hanlou's opponent is not simple either.
It seemed that this was not the first time that the two sides had engaged in such a confrontation. The other side had long been prepared for all kinds of means of Mo Hanlou's military formation. Whether in terms of numbers or strength, they fought back and forth with Mo Hanlou's military formation. Especially this group of monks who were originally a motley crowd, were able to perform their duties and achieve the greatest effect under the clever arrangement of the other side.
As time went by, the warships had even traveled more than half the distance.
but……
Gu Xiu observed for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.
This time the attacker will fail.
This is indeed the case. Although the attackers controlled the warships in the early stage and seemed to be advancing straight ahead, winning many victories, as time went by and the fleet went deep into the sand dunes, the pressure began to double and the advancement speed continued to slow down. It even fell into stagnation when the army formation was broken through 80%.
"Although the person behind this is indeed very powerful, he is still a step weaker after all."
Gu Xiu muttered to himself, but this result did not make him feel relieved. On the contrary, his brows furrowed even deeper.
The person behind the scenes came to attack Mo Han Tower and had obviously made all the preparations in advance.
even……
Even the fact that he himself could not break into Mo Han Tower was obviously known to the other party.
But he still made this choice and even found so many people.
Then I'm afraid...
It is impossible to be unprepared.
really!
Just when Gu Xiu had this thought, he saw that the entrance of the Burial Valley, which had been under the suppression of Mo Han Tower and seemed quiet and peaceful, suddenly erupted with a violent roar.
Followed by.
The army of ghost soldiers that had previously surrounded everyone and left them with no way to retreat, now all pointed their spears at Mo Hanlou!
