Xu Luo stayed in Heishui City until dusk, until a faint line of light on the bright characters stretched straight from the direction of Huojing City.
Only then did he subconsciously stretch himself lazily, carefully arrange the Wuchang knife at his waist, and walk out of the deserted Li family's house.
From now on, the days of being leisurely and relaxed, hiding behind the scenes and playing clever tricks have become a thing of the past. The next mistake will lead him to confront the two top forces in Dayan...
No, Xu Luo strangled all the lucky thoughts in his mind. From now on, he must have completely faced the Yu and Xia families!
Because of Gu Siyan's sensitive status, he dared to pull out teeth from the tiger's mouth, which meant that the two parties had to fight to the death, and then they would give up temporarily.
Ren Xijian, an old fox, had seen through this a long time ago, so he was willing to take a big risk and stay in the capital city, just hoping to help Xu Luo.
Although the two of them had only met once, things in this world were so wonderful. Xu Luo, who was extremely arrogant at heart, respected the old man from the bottom of his heart.
Ren Xijian reciprocated the favor and decided to stay to help without even explaining to Xu Luo.
At the moment when the red moon just jumped out of the sky, Xu Luo stepped on the first ray of the scarlet moon with great precision and walked out of Blackwater City.
The E-shaped lamp was held in his hand, and it glowed with dazzling red light, as if he wanted to compare its beauty with the red moon in the sky.
Xu Luo took a step forward, but his figure ran straight for dozens of feet.
Time was tight and delicate. He had to stop Hu Taijun outside the capital city.
The two of them had already made a plan. As soon as Hu Taijun left the capital to reward him, Ren Xijian would directly rescue people. At this time, the old man might have already lurked into the Demon Suppressing Tower.
Even though Ren Xijian swore that nothing would go wrong and came to see him, even though Old Man Shu secretly helped him, Xu Luo still felt a little uneasy.
So, how can it be easy for the Xia family to dominate Dayan for so many years?
Only a true fool would think that as long as he is an enemy, his IQ should be below the average level.
After Xu Luo spent all his money, when the red moon hung high in the sky, the majestic figure of Zhan Jing finally appeared in front of him.
At this moment, in his transparent heart, the increasingly clear light began to move.
The time is just right.
Xu Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and still had time to look at the tall and shining city walls.
Even though his strength and methods have improved rapidly compared to when he first came to reward the capital, if he looks at the runes carefully now, his eyes will still feel tingling.
Xu Luo felt more and more lucky, which showed that several people had worked hard and planned every possible way to save people this time, which was extremely correct.
The power of this giant talisman array that protects the entire city of Huanjing cannot be shaken by him at all.
The scarlet moonlight fell on the earth, reflecting all kinds of shadows, like countless evil things peering into the world.
Xu Luo no longer tried to use his spiritual sense to detect Hu Taijun's aura, but kept his mind close and quietly sensed every change in the beating of his transparent heart.
There is only one chance to save people. If Ren Xijian does not escape from the capital city before the pursuers arrive, he is doomed to never have a second chance.
Only Xu Luo can accurately grasp when to take action.
If Mrs. Hu doesn't leave the city protection formation, Ren Xijian will definitely be noticed by her as soon as she makes a move. At that time, let alone rescuing people, it will be a question of whether Ren Xijian can escape.
As long as Hu Taijun dares to leave the city quietly, Xu Luo is 90% sure that all her means of delivering news to the outside world will be blocked in an instant.
At the same time, he also had to delay time to accommodate Ren Xijian and the others leaving the city.
Without his divine light, Ren Xijian would not be able to break the running city defense formation even if he was exhausted.
As the familiar qi machine got closer and closer, Xu Luo felt calmer and calmer.
The E-shaped lamp and the Impermanent Knife are hanging on the waist like dead objects.
At this moment, his whole person looked like a cold pool that had been silent for thousands of years, without any emotion.
Until the city defense talisman formation suddenly flashed a dim light, Xu Luo finally stood up slowly and straightened up. At the same time, the talisman in his arms trembled and sent out the last message before the battle.
Take action!
Hu Taijun's old face was gloomy, but he could not hide his eyes full of panic and uneasiness, as well as a hint of greed that could not be concealed.
Seeing the strange fluctuations in the jade medal around her waist from time to time, she hesitated for a moment before rushing out of the monitoring range of the talisman array, leaping off the city wall and flying towards Blackwater City.
Not long ago, the energy fluctuations that were so strange yet so familiar seemed to be engraved in her bones, and she still couldn't figure it out until now.
It wasn't until the clone left in Blackwater City suddenly lost its senses that she subconsciously felt something bad. What was going on?
Just after running a few dozen feet, Hu Taijun suddenly stopped and looked to the left with a solemn face, and saw a young man leaning against a big tree beside the straight road.
What made her feel awe-inspiring was that this young man who was clearly targeting her seemed to appear out of thin air. Being in the Aiki state, she didn't notice any fluctuations in his energy.
"Who are you and why are you waiting here for old age?"
Hu Taijun's real body and his clone look exactly the same, but their personalities are like two extremes.
At this moment, she just stood there, and she clearly had the aura of everyone. Although she was short in stature, she was as tall as a mountain, calm and mature.
Xu Luo ignored her and focused most of his attention on Huanjing City behind the two of them, hoping that Ren Xijian could seize the opportunity.
The time must not be lost, the opportunity will never come again.
"Have I offended you in any way?"
Seeing that Xu Luo didn't even bother to look this way, Hu Taijun couldn't help but feel angry even though he was a successful person.
But the young man in front of her seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. He was obviously just in a body-washing state, but inadvertently it gave her a feeling of panic.
There was still no movement in the city, and a trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Luo's eyes. If this was the case, it would only last a breath.
He smiled warmly at Taijun Hu.
"Xu Luo has met Taijun Hu! This junior came from Blackwater City overnight just to meet the senior."
Hu Taijun's heart skipped a beat, but his old face still managed a polite smile.
"It turns out that the famous lantern-carrying Yama Luoxu of the Exorcism Department is on tour. I wonder how he can come to such a small place in Blackwater City with such respect and respect?"
"Senior, do you know this weird natal object?"
Xu Luo directly opened his palms, and the melon seeds came into his eyes. Hu Taijun, who was still there just now, felt that his whole brain exploded in an instant.
Scenes of familiar and unfamiliar scenes were created out of thin air in the sea of consciousness, and a mighty sky fire fell from the sky, drowning everything.
The pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings were covered with ivy, and the sun was scorching, but everything was instantly submerged in the final celestial fire.
What was left in her sea of consciousness was a broken and dilapidated woodshed, and an old face that was clearly stern but full of warmth...
"Old man..."
Hu Taijun's eyes were confused and he murmured subconsciously.
A cold light trembled from Xu Luo's waist, instantly occupying all her sight.
Although Hu Taijun suddenly fell into confusion, which caught Xu Luo off guard, he immediately reacted and slashed out with the Impermanence Sword.
But he also underestimated the ancestor of Aiki too much. Even though his mind was still a little confused, Hu Taijun's body still instinctively fought back.
She tapped the heavy wooden cane in her hand, and a jade ring wrapped around her gray hair like an ornament spontaneously floated up.
In an instant, countless tiny vortices were formed out of thin air in the space around her. The Impermanent Knife, which had always been unfavorable, suddenly seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. The white light flashed and was fixed in mid-air, revealing the long and narrow blade.
"What a knife, so murderous!"
Hu Taijun's mind finally returned to normal, and he even praised the Wuchang Dao with full appreciation.
Then her eyes fell on the black melon seeds again, and her old face was full of emotion.
"What is supposed to come will always come. I thought that by forgetting everything in my past, I could become the real Hu Taijun of the Li family, and the superior Aiki ancestor of Dayan.
But I didn’t expect that even though I was wearing a layer of human skin, in my bones, I was still the same monster that should have been punished by God.”
Xu Luo stretched out his hand to recall the Impermanence Knife, letting it tremble unwillingly in his palm.
The stabbing he just did was purely a subconscious action. Seeing that there was no advantage to be taken at this moment, he was naturally happy to delay it for a while.
He tossed the melon seeds in his hands and played with them a few times, then sighed.
"If it weren't for a coincidence, no one would have imagined that Hu Taijun, whose reputation has frightened the Yan Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, would have been occupied by a strange dove in the magpie's nest..."
"shut up!"
But his words were like stabbing a painful spot in Hu Taijun's heart, and he was interrupted by an angry voice before he finished speaking.
A few flushes appeared on her old face, her expression became passionate, and she shouted harshly.
"If it weren't for the parasitism of the old body, do you think that bitch Hu Qingyue could be promoted to the Aiki realm? If it weren't for the painstaking care of the old body all these years, just by betraying the Lord and surrendering to the enemy, everyone in the Li family, who is shameless, would be able to become the fourth member of the Jingjing family.
Everyone?"
Xu Luo had a mocking look on his face and refuted it unceremoniously.
"Tsk, tsk, such an achievement is really amazing, but it's a pity that you forgot which side your butt is sitting on?
Do you still remember the teachings of the Gu family, or do you still remember the old man who would rather hide in solitude and chop firewood in Huanjian Mountain for the sake of recovering your soul?
But do you still remember that the one who betrayed the Li family was the Gu family who took in and took care of you and your family for the rest of their lives?"
A series of questions made Hu Taijun's face froze with anger. These questions that went straight to the core were exactly the things she had been trying to avoid all these years and never dared to face.
Over the years, she spent a lot of energy and soul to create a clone, and let it devour the energy of children in Blackwater City, which was to cover up her ears and alleviate her inner guilt.
"You are talking nonsense. I have killed countless evil spirits over the years and kept the peace of thousands of people in Blackwater City. Haven't I done enough?
Even if I have experienced strange changes by chance, to see whether a person is good or evil, shouldn't we listen to his words and watch his actions?"
Xu Luo's words were like a sharp knife, severely cutting open the scar in her heart that she thought had healed long ago.
