"Why is the sky turning red?"
"Notify the authorities immediately!"
"I'm afraid the government has already known about it. Do you think there's anything wrong with it?"
"No, no, I was just startled and almost couldn't breathe."
“… You don’t know, this strange phenomenon happened in the sky, I’m afraid something big is going to happen!”
…
Rumbling thunder rolled across the sky, bluish-white lightning flickered in the red light, and what caught the eye was the swirling clouds rolling back in the sky. Several nearby states, counties, and villages were startled by the sudden strange phenomenon and rushed out of their houses. The streets were full of people with panic-stricken expressions and whispering to each other.
The government officials and the military camp outside the city were all filled with the sound of people and horses neighing.
"drive-"
"Go over there and take a look!"
"Be careful of monsters coming out, go to the city and find some black dog blood and boy's urine!"
The officers carried water and fire sticks and walked through the streets, knocking on doors one by one. After a while, the crying of children and the barking of dogs could be heard everywhere. Soon, a small number of scouts from the military camp outside the city rushed out of the gate on horseback and galloped away following the column of light that reached the sky.
boom!
Lightning flashed, illuminating the road ahead for the cavalry. Red and bluish-white lightning flashed alternately. Among the rolling foothills in the north, there were famous mountains shrouded in clouds and mist. The red light shone into the woods, and the birds flew around in panic. In the distance, at the Chengyun Mountain Gate, bells rang. Figures rushed out of the buildings, there were thirty or forty people, some carrying or carrying weapons, and quickly came to the square with a yin and yang pattern to gather.
Four or five old men came out from the main building right in front of them, and they all bowed and clasped their hands.
"Greetings, Master, and all the elders!"
"We don't need too many people for this matter, so you can all go away."
The old man in the lead wore a dark blue Taoist robe with a white shirt underneath. His robe fluttered in the wind. He glanced at everyone and stroked his long white beard. He looked energetic and his tone was deep.
"Any strange phenomenon born in the sky will definitely bring disaster and chaos. You should go back for now and practice in peace. Don't let your mind get disturbed."
After sending away a group of disciples with shallow cultivation, the old man turned his head slightly and looked towards the northwest. Above the night sky, a red beam of light shot up into the sky. In the red light, one could feel the brutal blood energy.
… It’s not the aura of a demon, but it has the appearance of a demon!
While the old man was thinking, the huge word "Tao" on the mountain wall with his back lit up with a magical light, which quickly pushed the infecting red light out of the mountain.
"Master, the mountain guarding formation has been disturbed." An elder reminded.
"Well, this light is quite impressive."
The old man's sleeves fluttered, and he carried them behind him, speaking in a powerful voice: "Inner sect disciples, listen to my orders. If there are strange phenomena in the sky, there will be demons and monsters causing chaos in the world. As cultivators, it is our responsibility to slay demons and monsters. How can we sit back and watch!"
A window lattice in the main building opened, and a magic sword broke away from the wall, flew out, and landed in the old man's hand. After a few steps, his Taoist robe rustled, and his body suddenly soared into the sky.
"Follow me out of the mountains—"
The sound was so loud that it shook the mountain gate. More than ten sword lights shot out from the cave that was densely covered with the word "Tao" at the mountain gate, and turned into streams of light that followed closely behind the old man, flying straight towards the red light column that connected heaven and earth. However, halfway through, the light flickered twice and disappeared from sight. The darkness surged back and enveloped everything.
The whimpering mountain wind gradually died down, the thick clouds in the night sky dissipated, revealing a half-moon, with silver light spreading down.
On the distant foothills, Yuwen Tuo withdrew his gaze and looked at the dark red magic circle on the ground. The magic power was flowing endlessly, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Hua Hongyi, who was originally affected by the thunder and was a little crazy, fell to the ground in a mess. Under her messy long hair, she looked at the magic circle with a look of horror. She had little demonic power left.
"How could this happen... Why did my demonic power disappear so much?"
He staggered to his feet and reached out to grab Yuwen Tuo, but the latter grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold and indifferent.
"Why do you think I asked you to come along? To let you watch the show from the side?"
“No… No…”
Hua Hongyi pulled the other person's arm with both hands. In her confused mind, she finally understood something, "It was Master Wu Yuan... He asked me to come with him... But he didn't tell me what I was going to do... He actually wanted to..."
"It seems that you are not stupid. He wants to use your magic power to prevent accidents from happening in this magic circle... and more!"
The fingers that were pinching the other person's neck slowly tightened. Yuwen Tuo stared at her and squeezed out the following words from his lips word by word.
"You are not worthy to be my master's wife!"
No matter how the woman in his hand struggled, after saying this, Yuwen Tuo grabbed Hua Hongyi's head with his other hand, stretched the painted skin taut, and twisted it from her pretty face bit by bit.
"Right here!"
Suddenly, an old voice sounded, and more than ten sword lights fell from the sky like a meteor shower. Standing on the east side of the mountain top, one could immediately spot the Blood Spirit Formation carved on the ground, as well as the man and woman not far away.
"Is that man exorcising a demon?"
“… How can this person have divine power?!”
The headmaster of Chengyun Sect thought the man looked familiar, then looked at the magic circle on the ground, stepped forward and raised his hands: "Fellow Daoist, are you here for this magic circle as well? But was it set up by the monster in your hand?"
Over there, Hua Hongyi was thrown away like a rag doll, and rolled out on the ground with her long skirt dragged behind her. Yuwen Tuo took a step forward, holding down the hilt of his sword, and slowly turned around to look at the other group of people. The old man who was speaking had a high level of cultivation, but so what? In front of the two divine powers of Xuanyuan and Kunlun, he was just like a stronger child.
Moreover, he recognized who the old man was. Outside Chang'an Gate that day, he forced his master to...
"The magic circle... was set up by me."
The golden sword was slowly pulled out of the sheath with a slight sound, and Yuwen Tuo spoke at the same time, "I am the Grand Tutor of the Eastern Palace of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Tuo."
The murderous intent surged out along with the sword.
The old man had a high level of cultivation, so he could naturally feel the energy much more clearly than the disciples behind him. He spread out his sleeves, clenched his hands behind him, and the magic sword was unsheathed with a clang. The moment he clenched his hands, the golden light in his eyes instantly overshadowed everything.
The majestic and overwhelming divine power swept over like an overwhelming force.
boom-
The golden light enveloped the entire mountaintop, illuminating the night sky.
…
In the distant night, a light blue light was flying rapidly with a roar. Behind the Yuelong Sword, Lu Liangsheng saw the golden light spreading in front of him. He tightened the hilt of the sword and increased his speed again. The strong wind was whistling and roaring, and the color of fire was faintly visible. The air within a few feet was burning.
On the top of the mountain, the golden light spread and gradually disappeared. In front of the Chengyunmen group on the cliff, an old man stood there with a sword across his body, with white smoke all over his body.
Yuwen Tuo snorted coldly, holding the Xuanyuan in his hand hanging diagonally at his side, and walked leisurely. The armor on his body rubbed against each other as he walked, making slight noises.
"My master was forced by you that day and his cultivation was abolished. Today, I, the Grand Master, will also give you a chance."
The old man who was using defensive magic realized why this person looked familiar. He was the young man with supernatural powers on the city wall that day.
"Are you the reincarnation of a divine weapon?"
After all, his cultivation was very high. After a hasty fight, the head of Chengyun Sect saw clearly the opponent's origin, and his eyes then fell on the golden sword in the opponent's hand that was raised again.
"This is the Xuanyuan... Sword..."
"Well, I will waste my cultivation in a few dozen breaths!" Yuwen Tuo nodded, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand lit up golden again. Just as he was about to swing it, a familiar voice came from the night sky behind him.
"stop!"
Yuwentuo stopped and looked behind him, "Master?"
Hua Hongyi on the ground also raised his head and saw the figure flying with a sword. He hurriedly used the little remaining power he had to jump off the cliff.
Everyone in Chengyun Sect was shocked when they saw the flying figure.
"Lu Liangsheng? Wasn't his cultivation abolished?!" "How can he still have magic power?"
"Did you deceive us that day?"
Over there, a light blue stream of light arrived in an instant, and with a bang, it fell on a large rock protruding from the cliff on the south side of the mountain top. Lu Liangsheng's green shirt fluttered, and he stood there with a sword in his hand. The scabbard ornament hanging on his waist trembled slightly, broke free from the red rope that bound it, and hung in front of the scholar, instantly returning to its original size.
Next second.
The Xuanyuan Sword in Yuwentuo's hand instantly flew out, leaving a golden glow. The old man on the other side shouted, "Be careful!"
However, the flying sword was inserted into the scabbard and stood up, hanging beside Lu Liangsheng who was standing on the rock, floating slowly with the hum of cicadas.
There was a sudden silence on the top of the mountain.
