The lightning beam killed the blood-red ghost and continued to fall down, hitting the black magic circle on the ground, easily destroying the magic circle on the ground.
The light column did not disappear, but suddenly shattered into dozens of white arcs as thick as bowls, attacking in all directions and hitting other ghosts outside the hall with incredible precision.
Other ghosts were also vulnerable to these white electric arcs and were easily wiped out on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, a group of three people flew over from a distance and landed outside the bedroom.
The person in the lead was a young man wearing a golden robe and a golden crown. He had a handsome face and a hint of majesty. He was the Ninth Prince whom Shen Luo met by chance when he was in seclusion in the Yellow River to break through the Soul Condensation Stage that day.
Next to the young man with the golden crown was a beautiful young girl, who was named Li and was the nineteenth princess of the current dynasty.
Behind the two of them was the strange-looking imperial teacher who had been with them back then. He had a slightly sickly look on his face and was holding a white whisk with a flash of white lightning on it.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, the Nineteenth Princess, and Master Yuan!" The royal guards in front of the palace saw the three people and hurriedly bowed to salute.
"How come there are ghosts here? What's the situation, Your Majesty?" the young man with the golden crown asked sternly.
“This… I don’t know either. These ghosts suddenly appeared, and I fought hard to resist them. As for the situation inside the palace, because the ban set by the National Master was activated, we cannot enter, and we don’t know the situation inside. But Master Lin, Master Dafang, and Master Wu have been guarding Your Majesty in the palace, so they should be fine.” The black-faced commander of the Imperial Guards said with some fear.
When the young man with the golden crown heard this, his expression relaxed slightly. He waved his hand to let them step back, and strode straight towards the door of the bedroom.
The Taoist master waved the whisk in his hand, and the golden light on the door of the bedroom dissipated, revealing a gap.
With a creaky sound, the door opened automatically. Several people rushed in and quickly saw the situation inside.
"Father!" The young man with the golden crown and the girl surnamed Li rushed to the bedside of Emperor Tang.
The three purple-robed feathered scholars quickly stepped aside.
"What's going on here?" The Taoist master glanced at the unconscious imperial concubine and three palace maids lying on the ground, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.
"Master Yuan, it's good that you are here. This is what happened..." Dafang Zhenren quickly recounted the situation how the imperial concubine and the three palace maids suddenly changed their faces, and then a black shadow flew out of their bodies and hit Li Shimin, causing Li Shimin to fall into a coma.
"Lin Xiyue! Master Dafang! Wu Gen! You are my father's personal guards, yet you allowed the evildoer to approach His Majesty so easily. What crime should you be punished for?" After hearing this, the young man with the golden crown stood up suddenly and asked sternly.
"Your subordinates... Your subordinates are incompetent. Please punish me, Ninth Prince!" The three said in fear and trepidation.
There was an outbreak of ghosts in Chang'an City. In order to protect the safety of the imperial city, the royal monks had set up countless restrictions inside and outside the imperial city. Outsiders could not sneak in at all, and people entering and leaving the palace had to undergo extremely strict inspections. They really couldn't figure out when the imperial concubine and the three palace maids were possessed by foreign objects.
The Taoist master walked to the side of the naked Li Shimin, bent his finger and touched his brow, a white light flashed gently on his fingertips, and he let out a quick "hmm".
