Suddenly, the golden light flourished, illuminating half of the sky. The bright river in the sky dimmed, and the bright moon also lost its brilliance. In the golden light, a majestic goddess wearing a dragon robe and an imperial crown suddenly appeared from the void holding a seal.
Endless golden light emanates from the seal in the goddess's hand.
The person who came was naturally the empress. At this time, she had become the Qingshui River Goddess, and could even be said to be half a dragon king.
The Dragon King is different from the real dragon. He is ordered by the sky to control the river. With the power of incense and incense in the 30,000-mile river basin, his magical power is almost boundless.
Of course, the further the Dragon King leaves the river area, the more his magic power will gradually weaken, and the harder it will be to obtain the power of incense.
Moreover, if he leaves the river area and loses the support of the Qingshui River's spiritual power, he will not be as powerful as an immortal Buddha. There may even be a risk of falling because he leaves the river area.
Guangfa didn't expect that this newly promoted River God would go through fire and water for Shen Lian to this extent. It was even more unpredictable that the other party would come so quickly, and he didn't even notice when Shen Lian notified the River God to come. .
One wrong step, one wrong step.
Using himself to save others, he naturally cannot understand this kind of life-and-death friendship.
The empress seemed to represent the glorious high sky, her eyes were indifferent and emotionless, and she stood quietly in the void. There was a huge force of her own, sweeping down and surrounding Guangfa.
Guangfa calmed down at this time, collected his thoughts, held the magic formula in his hand, and chanted the incantation in his mouth. A dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck hard at the empress.
This is the 'Yuxiao Divine Thunder Technique', which is considered superior among all kinds of thunder techniques.
However, the lightning struck the golden light and had no effect at all. Instead, the golden light of the seal became strong and absorbed the lightning.
Finally, the seal continued to grow in size, flew out of the air, reached Guangfa's head, and fell hard.
It seems that they want to suppress the Guangfa Taoist and make him unable to recover from the catastrophe.
Shen Lian wielded the sword with both hands, condensing the endless vitality of heaven and earth, and the mana boiled all over his body. Visions of wind, thunder, water and fire flashed one after another, and finally condensed into an earth-shattering sword light. The unparalleled sharp sword intent locked on Guangfa from a distance.
Two unparalleled powerful men, acting together, are enough to cause mountains to collapse and the ground to crack, and the lake in this area to dry up.
The Seal of the Human King in the sky has the aura to suppress all living creatures, and the peerless sword light of Shen Lian not far away is enough to split the mountains and shatter the Guangfa Taoist body.
He was almost in a desperate situation of certain death.
At first, the human king's seal was pressed down hard, and Guangfa's head had Xuanqing Qi, which turned into a cloud and held up the human king's seal.
However, Shen Lian's peerless sword was silent, attacking his mind.
In the confrontation between gods and wills, the danger is far greater than the suppression of outsiders Wang Xi.
He used his magic power to fight against the Seal of the Human King, and also used his mind to resist Shen Lian's supreme heart sword technique. He didn't know when the sword light condensed by Shen Lian would be released.
He didn't even have a chance to escape until that sword could destroy everything.
Because only when the opponent's momentum drops from its peak can he have a chance to escape.
In this situation, the human king's seal pressed down inch by inch, causing the cloud above Guangfa's head to disappear inch by inch, like a cloud of smoke.
It also eroded his magic power bit by bit, causing him to gradually lose his ability to resist.
Guangfa's eyes were red, his body was full of essence and blood, and he was muttering words in his mouth. His blood was constantly evaporating, providing powerful magic power. The Xuanqing Gangyun gradually became bloody and grew stronger. The dragon pile fell under his feet and turned into a monster. A silver lotus with three petals held him up.
At the same time, countless silver radiances circulated, guarding Guangfa.
However, his face turned from red to white, and the silver lotus's glow gradually disappeared under the constant pressure of the human king's seal.
At this time, a melodious Taoist song sounded in the sky:
There is a bright moon by the clear pool, and peach blossoms by the green willow embankment.
Not to mention the ordinary fresh taste, there are a few flying clouds in the sky.
"Master Shen, please show mercy. Poor Taoist Mu Zhenzi is polite."
After the Taoist song stopped, a ray of light appeared from the distant sky, and white clouds came leisurely. There were two people above, one of whom was Qingwei, the incarnation of Yanxu, looking at Shen Lian with a smile to himself.
The other person wears a square scarf, a Taoist uniform, flying feather sleeves, and a bamboo cane and mango shoes. He really looks like a god.
It was Guangfa's fellow student Mu Zhenzi.
Shen Lian snorted secretly and concentrated his sword light to attack Guangfa fiercely. At the same time, he scattered the thunder talisman and filled the sky with thunder light, blocking Muzhenzi's way.
Lightning flashed across the void, and the Empress and Shen Lian disappeared without a trace.
When Shen Lian saw Yanxu's appearance, he knew that nothing could be done. He was extremely decisive and did not hesitate at all. He sent a message to the empress and retreated at the same time.
That sword light was so powerful that it directly broke through the silver glow surrounding Guangfa.
A long cut appeared in the Taoist robe on Guangfa's chest, and a sword mark appeared on the white and tender skin of his chest, with a faint sword glow lingering.
He spurted out multiple mouthfuls of blood, mixed with white essence and blood. His face was as white as paper, and the silver lotus was almost crumbling.
Muzhenzi waved his robe sleeves, and magic power was injected into him. The two came from the same source, and Guangfa immediately stabilized the injury. However, without ten or twenty years of hard work, it would be difficult to recover.
Moreover, this battle was a great setback for him, that is, he was suppressed from beginning to end in the confrontation with Shen Lian, which was very detrimental to his future cultivation.
Guangfa looked ashamed, and his voice was extremely weak, almost hoarse, and asked: "How come senior brother came so promptly."
Mu Zhenzi pointed at Yanxu and said, "It's all thanks to Junior Brother Qingwei that I was able to arrive immediately."
Guangfa slightly cupped his hands toward Yanxu and said, "Thank you so much, Junior Brother Qingwei."
Yanxu said with great concern: "Senior brother Guangfa, why should you be so polite? This is what a junior should do. I expected that Shen Lian would be extremely difficult to deal with, so when I saw him coming, I immediately sent a letter to senior brother Muzhenzi. Fortunately, senior brother arrived in time. "
Guangfa nodded, and the three of them sighed for a while, then drove away in the clouds.
Shen Lian and the Empress arrived in the Qingshui River area not long after. This was the Empress's territory. Unless the Changsheng Master of Guangqing took action, no matter how many others came, it would be difficult to compete with the Empress here.
She looked suspicious at this time and asked curiously: "Why did you let them go like this? You know, if you and I join forces this time, even if Muzhenzi comes, there is a great chance of keeping them."
She couldn't leave the river lightly. Today was a great opportunity to catch someone by surprise. She didn't expect Shen Lian to leave so easily.
It's really not his past style.
Shen Lian said: "You can see the young people next to Muzhenzi."
The empress said sternly: "That person is pure and can be considered a genius, but he is hardly a threat to you and me."
"Actually, I have never made this matter clear to you. That young man is none other than my Qingxuan traitor. His Taoist name is 'Yanxu'. Although he is not an immortal or a Buddha, ordinary immortals cannot do anything to him. , and knew a lot of my Qingxuan's secrets, but I didn't expect that he would hide it from me and join Guangqing's sect. The strong enemy I encountered last time was him," Shen Lian said lightly.
The empress said: "Then what is his purpose in worshiping Guangqing?"
Shen Lian said in a deep voice: "This is also the most difficult thing for me to understand, because there are five immortal immortals in Guangqing. Although they have strange and unpredictable magical powers, they are like walking on thin ice when they stay there. If it is just for Taoism, it is impossible to stay there. After all, with his methods, it won’t take much time to obtain Guangqing’s true heritage, and Guangqing’s background is much worse than mine, Qingxuan.”
"In any case, it seems that this person is an enemy rather than a friend. And with your identity, it is difficult to expose him. Are you just going to let him run free?" She has always been vigorous and resolute. After distinguishing the enemy from ourselves, she will eliminate the enemy without hesitation. , hence this statement.
Shen Lian said: "Actually, it's a good thing that he was discovered by me. Regardless of whether he exposed it or not, it is already out in the open. Moreover, he is also pushing the Guangfa matter this time. It's just that Guangfa probably didn't notice the person who pushed it. , In fact, it’s Yanxu who wants me to suspect others in Qingxuan and leak information about me.”
"What good does this do to him? If he wanted to deal with you, he should have appeared at the beginning instead of asking Muzhenzi to come and let us hurt Guangfa." The empress raised another doubt.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed and he asked, "How did Huang Longzi escape from your hands last time?"
The empress said: "He escaped on his own, but it is indeed a bit strange, because he was already at the end of his rope, but for some unknown reason, he had an extra bit of strength and forcibly gave up half of his body to escape from my hands."
Shen Lian sighed: "Guangfa was also injured today."
The empress thought for a moment, then said: "These two things are related."
"I'm afraid that we have become his helpers, or that his goal is not only for me, but also for the masters in Guangqing. But for what purpose, I'm afraid only he knows." Although Shen Lian had a little clue, it was still not complete.
Although Yanxu's actions may appear to be wild and unconstrained, he still has a certain purpose. For example, when he first met Yanxu, the other party gave him a sword. In fact, it was for the relics of Jinguang Temple.
Although Guangfa is said to be the best in wisdom and scheming among the twelve real people, compared to Yanxu, he is just the fire of a firefly candle, not as clear as the bright moon of Yanxu.
The empress said: "No matter what his plans are, as long as you achieve immortality within ten or twenty years, everything will be solved. Who has the biggest fist in this world will make sense."
Shen Lian nodded and said: "That's true. After I finish the Qingjiang incident, I will go back to the mountain gate and practice quietly for a period of time. This month you and I can have a good exchange of practice experiences."
"I think so too."
The two talked for a while, and the bright moon set in the west. Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, Shen Lian said goodbye and left, jumped into the void, and soon arrived at the Qingjiang Sword Sect next to the Qingshui River.
After entering the Taoist temple, the candlelight was not extinguished, and Ruoxi was lying on the table practicing calligraphy.
Shen Lian whispered: "What are you writing?"
Ruoxi said: "Uncle, you are different from what you said in the poem."
I only saw a poem written on the white paper:
The thick-browed Zhuo speaks like thunder, and when he hears something is wrong, he puts down a cup.
I'll go thousands of miles with my sword in the air, and I'll be back in the second watch.
Ruoxi said very seriously: "Uncle, you left at the first watch, and it's already been the fifth watch before you come back."
When Shen Lian heard this, he secretly regretted that he should not have told her these sword fairy stories before. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't go to bed yet."
