Behind him, Xia Wuyou felt a huge fear in his heart, and he opened his mouth just as he was about to shout something.
But the next moment, his entire clone was like mud, surrounded by an invisible force, and split into countless lights and shadows trying to escape.
Xu Luo still didn't look back, but the palm that held Chaoyang around his fingertips tightened his grip.
There was a muffled sound, and the light and shadow transformed by the clone exploded. Xia Wuyou's entire body suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared before.
Xu Luo stepped lightly, and the keel boat immediately turned and headed straight for the not far away Xianjing Pier.
He took out the gold-edged talisman paper that he had not used for a long time from his arms. He was about to say something, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
After a long while, he regained his composure and smiled.
"Senior Shu, if you don't show up again, I will go directly to the library to find you."
Before he finished speaking, the lines on the talisman paper outlined the figure of a short old man. It was the old man Shu who hadn't seen him for a long time.
"I asked you, do you have any conscience? You know that I and the Jingjing City Talisman Formation are dependent on each other and are one with each other, but you still take care of yourself!"
The old man Shu had an indignant look on his face, that is, the distance was too far now and he could only use the talisman to reveal himself, otherwise he would look like he would want to beat this bastard up.
Xu Luo let the talisman float in front of him and spread his hands helplessly.
"For your safety, I have been floating on the Yunwuze for so many days. Who has no conscience?
I originally thought of subduing the enemy without a fight, but I didn't expect that the old fox Xia Wuyou saw the flaw and took advantage of it. Why don't you, old man, think of a way for me, what should I do now?"
The old man Shu who was chattering just now suddenly became speechless. Although he was complaining, he didn't understand Xu Luo's good intentions.
But now Xia Wuyou is obviously determined not to die until he reaches the Yellow River. Does he want Xu Luo, or does the Reformed sect just give up?
After hesitating for a long time, Mr. Shu said coquettishly.
"If you must forcefully break the formation, there is actually a way to spend less effort..."
At this point, he was hesitant again, as if the next words were a little difficult to say, and Xu Luo couldn't help but feel strange.
"At this point in time, what else do you have to say that you are embarrassed to say?"
The old man twisted his body uneasily on the talisman, which showed that he was currently in embarrassment.
"Actually, in fact, if the Gu family's three-part three-phase seal magical power helps, even if the talisman formation is broken, although the old man's vitality will be seriously injured, it may not be an opportunity!"
Xu Luo frowned and suddenly remembered something and blurted out.
"You want to use this to get rid of the cage, seal the entire rune array and refine it into the core of your life!"
When the old man's secret thoughts were exposed, his face suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost.
"You, how do you know? You listen to my quibbles... No, you listen to my explanation!"
The more nervous he became, the more Xu Luo became sure of his guess, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
These old monsters who have lived for more than a hundred years really don’t have a fuel-efficient lamp!
If his wish comes true this time, Old Man Shu will not only be able to completely control the entire rune formation, but he may also be able to advance to a higher level.
And no matter how the situation in Dayan changes in the future, as long as this giant city still exists, no matter who is in power, they will not dare to gnash their teeth at Old Man Shu.
Wow, what a good plan!
Mr. Shu probably didn't expect that Xu Luo had already guessed everything in his mind just by mentioning the beginning.
Seeing Xu Luona's increasingly weird expression, he felt increasingly uneasy, as if his eyes had stripped him clean.
Old Man Shu knew that with Xu Luo's current ability, he could not stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
Since the talisman formation was destined to be destroyed, it would be better to use the Gu family's three-part three-phase magical power to seal it in his body after breaking it, which would be considered as making the best use of it.
This matter is somewhat whimsical, but Xu Luo knows that Old Man Shu does have the possibility of success, and only a being like him who is originally interdependent and integrated with the Talisman Array can be sure to completely control the Talisman Array.
Of course, even if this is the case, the subsequent refining process is also extremely risky.
Xu Luo thought for a moment and found that Old Man Shu's proposal was indeed quite attractive.
If it doesn't work, then, if it succeeds, as long as Old Man Shu doesn't fall, the giant city of Zhanjing will definitely be in the possession of the Reformed Sect. And since the highest level of the Jueling Realm is only Heqi, I'm afraid no one will be able to do anything to him in the future.
.
Thinking of this, Xu Luo finally nodded.
"Senior, if you want to compete in this shop, I will be happy to see it succeed. If you want to come to the Reformed Sect, I will definitely not have any objections, but now only Grandma Xixi has the three-phase three-phase magical power..."
"For such a good thing, I will naturally lend a helping hand to Senior Shu."
Before Xu Luo finished speaking, a familiar figure had already appeared beside the old man Shu, and Gu Qinglan had also rushed to the capital at some unknown time.
Xu Luo was shocked at first. How could Gu Qinglan hide his spiritual perception?
But after taking a closer look at Gu Qinglan, he felt relieved again.
Gu Qinglan's body shape is uncertain, and there is Zhang Qingguang's dim spiritual talisman in the center of the body. It is obviously an incarnation condensed with the help of some magical talisman.
From this point of view, I am afraid that Old Man Shu has already reached an agreement with the Reformed Church, and this trip is just because he is afraid that he will not agree before he comes to test!
Xu Luo bowed and saluted Gu Qinglan.
"Since Grandma is willing to take action, it is of course the best thing to do, but your body..."
Gu Qinglan waved her hands indifferently.
"Originally, it was just an incarnation of the talisman. It will disappear completely after using the magical power. In order not to waste spiritual power, I will go back first. If the time comes, just throw the talisman out."
After saying that, her body transformed into a palm-sized jade talisman again, and it swayed down.
Xu Luo reached out and took the jade talisman and stuffed it into his arms, then looked at the old man Shu with a half-smile.
"Senior, this is not done in an honest way. Do you think this kid will object?"
The old man Shu stopped pretending now and was embarrassed to laugh out loud.
"Old man, I'm not afraid that you will think too much.
It can be said that this matter was promoted by you alone, and the younger generation of the Reformed sect are already enjoying the benefits, and if the old man comes to pick the fruit again, it would be too unfair to you!"
At this time, the keel boat was approaching the dock, Xu Luo stopped joking with him, and his expression gradually became grim.
"Senior, don't think too much. You go back to the library first and wait for the opportunity. If the time is right, you must remind this junior in time. Remember it!"
Old Man Shu knew that he was about to take action, so he didn't dare to delay, nodded and disappeared on the paper.
Bang, the boat leaned gently against the pier, and the pier that used to be bustling with people was already dead silent.
Xu Luo walked a few steps along the pier, then suddenly felt something was wrong and looked back. Then he remembered that since he had decided to break the formation, there seemed to be no need to keep the keel boat.
As the dragon bone boat turned into a stream of light and disappeared into Xu Luo's hands, Xia Wuyou, who was observing this scene with the help of the Talisman Array Jade Mirror in the Star-Zhaing Tower, became extremely cautious.
This proves that Xu Luo has made up his mind, and also means that the countdown to the existence of the Zongren Mansion has officially begun.
Thinking of this, the sky-shading umbrella suddenly appeared in Xia Wuyou's hand. Looking at this old man who had witnessed his rise and fall for a hundred years, there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes to let go.
After a while, all the expressions in Xia Wuyou's eyes disappeared, and he looked at the jade mirror at the core of the talisman formation again with a fierce expression on his face.
At this time, Xu Luo in the mirror was looking over here as if he was aware of something.
The two of them were obviously separated by half a city, but now they seemed to be very close, and they could see the determination in each other's eyes.
Xia Wuyou threw the black umbrella in his hand downstairs, and it opened with a crash.
The dark umbrella surface suddenly burst into immeasurable light, spreading in all directions like ocean waves.
The handle of the umbrella shot straight into the sky like a giant tree that stretched rapidly to cover the sky. In an instant, most of the capital city was under the shadow of the umbrella.
This shocking vision alarmed almost everyone in the city, and even ordinary people rushed out of their courtyards, looking at this apocalyptic scene in panic all day long.
Fortunately, within a few moments, the soldiers of the Royal Guards Division, who had been prepared in advance, drove all the irrelevant people back.
But at this moment, in the school grounds of Zongren Mansion, various kinds of escaping lights fell from time to time.
The masters of the Zongren Mansion were naturally alarmed and subconsciously gathered here, but everyone's expressions were obviously not very good-looking.
Xia Wuyou appeared on the school grounds out of thin air. Looking at the many subordinates who looked either heavy or solemn, he felt increasingly helpless.
The fight hasn't even started yet, and everyone seems to have lost. It's really unlucky, but he doesn't even look at it, how can he be better than these people?
After noticing the howling sounds of ghosts and wolves coming from all over the city, Xia Wuyou felt an inexplicable irritation.
He glanced at the sky-shielding umbrella above, and the black umbrella turned slightly with understanding.
In an instant, most of the capital with the Zongren Mansion as the center fell completely into endless silence, and even the sound seemed to be completely drowned by the deep darkness.
At the same time, white light flashed continuously above the entire city, and the talisman formation was completely revealed.
Only the school grounds where Xia Wuyou was standing remained as they were. Seeing the crowd who were obviously in a commotion, he finally shouted loudly.
"Why are you panicking? Those relatives of yours are just falling asleep under the protection of the sky-shielding umbrella. As long as the umbrella is not broken, no one can harm them!"
Maybe there are still fools who enter the clan's mansion. This sounds nice, but it is clear that the lives of most of the people in the city are tied to the sky-shielding umbrella!
Damn it, if the treasure umbrella is not broken, everyone is safe, but what will happen if it is broken?
Or, can you guarantee that you will not use the sky-shielding umbrella when you take action against Xu Luo?
Some Xia family members in the crowd had worries flashing in their eyes. If this method was used, it would be a completely destructive move.
If the clan fails to win this battle, it will be regarded as complete alienation!
Even now, some people have just bowed their heads and said nothing, obviously afraid of being noticed by others.
The atmosphere on the school grounds was inexplicably awkward. Why didn't Xia Wuyou know this?
But if the clan mansion can't even pass this level, then there is no future. What can he do?
If we kill everyone in the capital, we can preserve the Xia family's ancestral inheritance...
Thinking of this, Xia Wuyou quickly shook his head, as if to get rid of all the thoughts in his mind.
"You are all smart people, so I won't say any more nonsense. Everyone knows what it means to win this battle.
The way of spiritual practice is to fight with people and heaven. If the Reformed group of people takes over and rewards the capital, you might as well think about what will happen to you?"
Having said this, Xia Wuyou paused deliberately, looked at the thoughtful people in front of him and spoke seriously.
"Dayan produces a lot of food and spiritual things every year. If others take more, we will naturally take less. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
The Zongren Mansion has been raising scholars for more than a hundred years, but there are still a few sincere scoundrels, and as soon as the words were spoken, someone was already making noises.
"For so many years, the palace master has never missed anything. We listen to the palace master."
"With the Palace Master's perspective as a person, I can certainly trust him."
…
It's a pity that there were almost no responders. Xia Wuyou looked around with his old eyes, and the cold look on his face disappeared for a moment, and then a gentle look appeared on his face.
"Now that things have come to an end, there is no need to mention these gossips. I just hope that everyone understands that now we are all sitting on the big ship of Zongren Mansion.
When this big ship sinks, if we can't work together, it will only kill everyone!"
These words speak to everyone’s heart!
Even if you have other ideas, it is best to be honest and obedient in the Zongren Mansion before the Xia family completely collapses.
What's more, the number of cultivators of the Xia family's own clan accounts for 30% of the clan's mansion. These people are naturally die-hard loyalists.
Xia Wuyou was keenly aware of the gradually rising aura of common hatred among the crowd. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be calm as he looked around before returning his attention to the black light of the umbrella.
Xu Luo looked at the sky-shielding umbrella stretching across the sky like layers of black clouds, interweaving with the light of the outermost talisman formation, which was breathtaking.
Viewed from the pier, it looks like a giant black and white bowl holding the entire Jingjing underneath. Anyone who wants to harm the clan must first break through these two layers of defense.
Xu Luo walked forward without pausing for a moment, but he sighed secretly in his heart.
No wonder Yu Wei and even the major evil exorcism families want to move their foundations outside the city. Once this posture is revealed, anyone who sees it can only bow their heads and listen.
At this time, the white light curtain of the talisman formation had gradually extended towards this side, but Xu Luo glanced in the direction of the Zongren Mansion with a half-smile, and then took a light photo of the light curtain with his big hand.
A five-color feather fan directly created a big hole in the light curtain like a giant black umbrella. Even the huge black umbrella was affected, and black ripples continued to spread on the umbrella surface.
Xu Luo took this opportunity to rise into the air, landed directly in front of the black fog space caused by the sky-shielding umbrella, and then disappeared into the pitch black mass in front of him without any hesitation.
At the same time, Xia Wuyou, who was closely watching his traces in the Star Reaching Tower, subconsciously snorted coldly.
Because it was clear that Xu Luo spontaneously merged into the dark space of the sky-shielding umbrella, but he suddenly disappeared under his nose.
