The branches tore apart the field, tore apart the body's protective essence, and slapped An Mo hard on the face, leaving An Mo's face bloody and bloody, with golden blood splattering!
An Mo screamed loudly after being whipped. He struggled wildly, but was unable to break away from the branches and vines entangled in his body.
He was just a martial arts cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and was no match for Venerable Ji Shi.
"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country will be punished!" Venerable Ji Shi snorted coldly.
This An Mo was a Nascent Soul casual cultivator. He had participated in the last national war between the Dachang Kingdom and the Xuanming Kingdom, and had made many military exploits. He later lived in the Imperial City and practiced in hiding.
Who would have thought that An Mo was a traitor!
To be given such a treasure as the Divine Sword that protects the country, Anmo is probably not an ordinary traitor, because ordinary traitors do not receive such treatment.
Black water emerged from a barrier of ice and snow, condensing into the shapes of Xiao Zhi and Yang Xu.
Xiao Zhi's thin face had a gloomy expression.
He did not expect that in the hinterland of Dachang Kingdom, above the Imperial City of Dachang, he would be attacked by Xuanming Kingdom's National Protector Divine Sword!
It can only be said that Xuanming Kingdom's infiltration into Dachang Kingdom was much more serious than he imagined!
There are branches and vines shining with green light, coming towards this side.
Xiao Zhi did not move, letting the branches and vines protect him.
He was still racing against time to absorb the spirit stones.
Lord Ji Shi has arrived, and with Li Kuo at the peak level of Demon Lord, his life should be safe.
The next second, Cao Shaoyang also arrived.
As the Taoist Master of Zhongchang, Cao Shaoyang is not weak in strength. He is a late-stage Nascent Soul spiritual cultivator. Cao Shaoyang's arrival means that Xiao Zhi's life safety has become more secure.
Soon, the three Nascent Soul cultivators who had been 'bought' by the army of sentient beings also arrived one after another. They all protected Xiao Zhi and fought with the Taixu lineage sages who wanted to kill Xiao Zhi.
Together!
At this time, Xiao Zhi's Nascent Soul-level combat power was still at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, but with the presence of Venerable Ji Shi, a peak Nascent Soul monk, who was more defensive, Taixu's lineage attacked and killed them.
Although there were many Nascent Soul cultivators, Xiao Zhi and his gang were helpless for a while.
Xiao Zhi didn't need to take action at all, he just needed to absorb as many spiritual stones as possible under the protection of everyone.
Time passed by minute by second, and in the sky above Dachang Imperial City, the battle at the Nascent Soul level was still going on. The sky was shattering and the earth was shattering, and the sun and the moon were dark!
At this moment, Xiao Zhi's eyes narrowed, and his originally tense nerves relaxed a little.
enough!
At this moment, the true energy in his body was enough to summon his mighty heavenly king again!
Xiao Zhi remained calm, holding the spirit stone in his hand and continuing to absorb it.
A few seconds passed like this, and a voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Zhi's ears: "Found it! We have found the Nascent Soul-level clone of Tai Xuzi!"
When Xiao Zhi heard this, his eyes suddenly glowed with dazzling golden light, and he looked down at the Dachang Imperial City below!
Soon, his eyes were fixed on a young man wearing black embroidered silver Taoist uniform.
This young man was standing inside the Dachang Divine Gate, under the huge statue of the True Lord Dachang, with his head raised and looking towards where Xiao Zhi was.
This was agreed upon in advance.
At this moment, the two people's eyes met each other, thousands of feet apart.
Xiao Zhi sent a message to the young man: "Where is he?"
"Guangxian Hall! He is hiding in Guangxian Hall!" the young man replied through a message.
"Guangxian Palace..." Xiao Zhi's eyes fell on a palace inside Dachang Shenmen.
"Find a way to get him out for me! I can take a closer look." Xiao Zhi said through a message.
"Okay." The young man nodded.
Xiao Zhi was not made to wait for long. Only two breaths passed before a huge fire dragon appeared out of thin air inside the Dachang Shenmen and rushed towards the Guangxian Palace with its fangs and claws!
With a roaring sound, the fire dragon collapsed most of Guangxian Hall, and the remaining part also burned with blazing flames!
When the fire dragon was about to destroy all the Guangxian Palace, a big green hand stretched out from the half-collapsed Guangxian Palace, grabbed the fire dragon, and then squeezed the fire dragon with its teeth and claws.
It was crushed and exploded into a shower of fire and rain!
The next moment, a ray of blue light burst out from the half-collapsed Guangxian Hall, along the corner, passing through the temples in Dachang Shenmen like lightning, and rushed towards the outside of Dachang Shenmen.
In less than a breath, this afterimage rushed out of the huge Dachang Shenmen, entered the inner city of the imperial city, and then flew along the corner to an ordinary mansion hundreds of feet away.
The speed of this green light is so fast and silent. Not to mention ordinary people, not even warriors or even low-level monks can capture its movement trajectory!
However, when this green light approached the mansion, a black alms bowl appeared out of thin air, then rose up in the wind, and rolled around to cover it!
The green light was as fast as lightning, but the black alms bowl was faster than it, and it was covered in it on the spot!
The green light that escaped from the Dachang Divine Gate was none other than Taixuzi's Nascent Soul clone! At this point, Xiao Zhi, who was standing high in the sky, had passed the [Dazzling Diamond] magical power.
If you look at it clearly, there will be no mistakes.
Tai Xuzi's Yuanying clone is quite strong, reaching the level of the late Yuanying stage. This is no longer considered weak in the Yuanying realm.
But in front of the current Xiao Zhi, it was a bit unsatisfactory.
Xiao Zhi's mighty heavenly king took action and simply threw out the black alms bowl, easily suppressing it!
The terrifying figure with three heads and eight arms of the mighty heavenly king emerged from the void, stretched out his hand to hold the black alms bowl in his hand, and then the figure soared into the sky!
'Taixuzi, Taixuzi, if you honestly hide in Dachang Shenmen, Dachang Shenmen has an eight-pole golden light formation. If I want to catch you, I have to break through this eight-pole golden light formation.
After spending a little more effort, who would have thought that you actually ran out to die because of the good Dachang Shenmen, so don't blame me for being rude." High in the sky, Xiao Zhi's eyes were still shining with dazzling golden light, and he was watching
Seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.
Got it!
Tai Xuzi's Nascent Soul clone has been caught by him!
The control core of the imperial city formation is in the hands of Tai Xuzi, the Nascent Soul clone. This is Xiao Zhi's ultimate goal in attacking the city!
Because having this thing is equivalent to controlling the entire Dachang Imperial City!
"It's that Dharma form, that Dharma form has come out again!" A Nascent Soul monk exclaimed in shock.
The Nascent Soul monks who participated in the siege of Xiao Zhi, after hearing these words, their attacks suddenly stopped!
Some Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but have expressions of fear on their faces.
Xiao Zhi's skinny figure floated out from the green branches and vines, and said in an indifferent voice: "If you retreat now, I will save you from death for the sake of coming from the same sect. If you are stubborn, continue to attack.
If I say so, then all of you will die!"
Xiao Zhi's voice was not loud, but it resounded for hundreds of miles around. Within this radius, everyone could hear his voice clearly!
Most of the Nascent Soul monks who participated in the siege of Xiao Zhi chose to retreat after their expressions became uncertain for a while, turning into streams of light and fleeing.
But there were still several Yuanying monks who ignored Xiao Zhi's warning and even attacked more fiercely!
Then I heard a voice yelling: "Don't run! Why are you running! What Xiao Zhizhi has understood is the law of water, and he is best at illusions. This Dharma must have been transformed by him using the law of water.
There’s no need for me to panic!”
What made the sound was a ten-foot-long sword, which was transformed by Taixuzi's direct disciple.
The big sword slashed at Xiao Zhi as if it was going crazy, but it couldn't even touch the corner of Xiao Zhi's clothes. It was easily re-condensed by the branches and vines of Lord Ji Shi and the ice and snow barrier formed by the demon Li Kuo.
, resisted it.
"Really?" Xiao Zhi laughed, and he was left skinny and bones. When he laughed, he looked a bit ferocious and terrifying.
At this time, the mighty king Dharma had already flown over.
The first thing that the mighty heavenly king did when he flew over was to slam forward the big black seal he was holding in his hand!
Suddenly, an invisible force of suppression appeared out of thin air and swept in all directions!
The few Nascent Soul cultivators who were unwilling to leave were immediately affected by this invisible force of suppression, and their speed slowed down sharply!
'It's over...' Xiao Zhi looked at this scene and said silently in his heart.
Not long after, in the main hall of Dachang Shenmen, Xiao Zhi was sitting cross-legged on a futon, playing with a white jade ball the size of a fist. The surface of this white jade ball exuded a faint colorful light, and it did not look like a mortal thing at first glance.
This sphere is the control core of the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth. As long as you hold it, you can control the life and death of tens of millions of people in the imperial city!
In addition to the white jade ball that is the core of the formation, Xiao Zhi also recovered a total of nine white jade balls the size of dragon's eyes from Tai Xuzi's Nascent Soul clone and his disciples' cronies.
Above, there is also a faint seven-color light. They are also the control cores of the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth. They are just sub-level cores. Through this first-level core, parts of the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth can be mobilized.
Power.
At the beginning, Venerable Ji Shi, as a talker of the Yuxu lineage, controlled a second-level white jade ball and controlled part of the authority of the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth.
Only later, in order to deal with Xiao Zhi, Taixuzi, who controlled the true core of the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth, forcibly deprived Venerable Ji Shi of his white jade ball, and forcibly suppressed Venerable Ji Shi with the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth.
.
While Xiao Zhi was playing with the white jade ball, Cao Shaoyang, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, what are you going to do next?"
At this time, Cao Shaoyang's face showed excitement, but also a hint of expectation and anxiety.
Venerable Ji Shi, who was sitting on the other side, frowned and looked worried.
Facing Cao Shaoyang's inquiry, Xiao Zhi said calmly: "The Taixu lineage collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and harmed their fellow sects. They are no longer worthy of sitting in the imperial city. From now on, the imperial city should be controlled by my Yuxu lineage!
"
Venerable Ji Shi frowned and said: "Friend Taoist Taoist, this seems a little inappropriate. The Imperial City has always been controlled by Taixu's lineage. This is the usual practice."
Xiao Zhi just smiled when he heard this and asked, "Has the True Lord ever said that the Imperial City should be guarded by Taixu's lineage?"
"That's not true." Venerable Jishi shook his head.
"That's it." Xiao Zhi said: "The Imperial City of Dachang should be guarded by capable people, so that our Dachang Kingdom can prosper forever. Now, my Yuxu lineage is the strongest, so it is right that we should take over the imperial city and control the garrison.
county!"
While speaking, Xiao Zhi threw a small white jade bead that exuded colorful light to Cao Shaoyang and said: "The Imperial City Formation only suffered minor damage, and it won't take long to repair it. This is for you."
Cao Shaoyang hurriedly reached out to take it, his face couldn't help but show joy, and he thanked Xiao Zhi repeatedly.
The core of the Imperial City Formation has always been in the hands of Tai Xuzi. Among the remaining nine small cores, one belongs to the Qingxu lineage, one belongs to the Yuxu lineage, and there are seven remaining. Taixuzi gave three to
After killing his disciples and confidants, there were only four left. Tai Xuzi did not give them to anyone, but kept them himself.
He, Cao Shaoyang, has been the Taoist Master of Zhongchang for decades, and this is the first time he has come into contact with this small white jade bead that represents the core of the Imperial City Formation.
And this also means that Xiao Zhi did not burn bridges and kick him away after the deed was done, but regarded him as one of his own, so he gave him this white jade bead.
This made Cao Shaoyang feel happy and felt that he was following the right person.
"Fellow Daoist Cao, there is no need to thank me, you deserve this." Xiao Zhi said with a smile.
He looked at Venerable Ji Shi again, handed the real core of the Imperial City Formation that he was playing with to Venerable Ji Shi, and said: "Fellow Taoist Ji Shi, take this."
Seeing this scene, Venerable Ji Shi could not help but be a little surprised. He did not reach out to pick up the white jade ball that Xiao Zhi handed him, but frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "I shouldn't stay in the imperial city for a long time. Apart from me, in my Yuxu lineage, you are the only one with the strongest strength, fellow Daoist Ji Shi. Therefore, the important task of guarding the imperial city will ultimately be yours."
It still has to fall on you, fellow Daoist Ji Shi, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Venerable Ji Shi said nothing, just stared at Xiao Zhi.
Facing the gaze of Venerable Ji Shi, Xiao Zhi did not dodge, but looked at Venerable Ji Shi with a calm expression.
After looking at each other like this for more than ten seconds, Venerable Ji Shi withdrew his gaze, nodded at Xiao Zhi, and said: "Fellow Taoist Xiao has entrusted you with this important matter. I dare not refuse. In this case, from now on
, let me control this imperial city formation!"
Next to Xiao Zhi stood the invisible demon Li Kuo.
Seeing this scene, Demon Demon Li Kuo couldn't help but send a message to Xiao Zhi through his thoughts: "Master, this is the control core of the Imperial City Formation. You just handed it over to the Venerable Ji Shi. Isn't it too hasty?
