With the death of Dugu Ningke, Lu Xiao and others no longer feel the gaze of surveillance when they go out, and can move relatively freely in Daxing City.
When exiting the top floor of Youfeng Laiyi Inn, Lu Xiao lifted the hypnosis he had exerted on all the inn employees with the Fuxi Qin, erasing the memories related to his group in these people's minds.
From Daxing to the eastern capital Luoyang, you only need to take a boat down the river. Lu Xiao and others did not relax their vigilance during the boat ride.
Every time Yongzhen went to a docking station, he would ask passing business travelers for information about Yuchi Yanhong, but unfortunately he never got any clues about her.
Dugu Ningke's soul was severely damaged. After being taken into Fuxi Qin, he immediately fell into a deep sleep and repaired the severe damage to his soul on his own.
In order to avoid irreversible damage to Dugu Ningke's soul due to forced awakening, Lu Xiao could only temporarily let her spend the most dangerous recovery period in Fuxi Qin.
There is no way of knowing what orders Dugu Ningke gave to Yuchi Yanhong, so everyone can only remain on guard at all times.
After arriving in Luoyang, everyone did not stay in the city for long. After briefly asking about the situation, they continued south to the Babel Tower.
Zhang Lie received the intelligence from Daxing from Li Jing in Luoyang City.
Just as Lu Xiao predicted, Yang Guang ultimately failed to convince the stubborn Yuwen Tuo and reluctantly agreed to his resignation request.
Without the upright Grand Master Yuwen who dared to remonstrate, Yang Guang felt regretful and relieved at the same time.
From now on, no one would dare to rebuke him face to face for being indulged in pleasure rather than doing his job properly.
The shock caused by Yuwen Tuo's departure to the Sui Dynasty could not be subsided in a short time. All forces were busy competing for the power vacuum left by Grand Master Yuwen.
Among the four tiger generals of the former Taishi Mansion, Yang Shuo, as a clan general, could not simply let go and leave.
The veteran general Han Teng took advantage of Yuwen Tuo's resignation to retire and return home, while Shangguan Zhenyuan was transferred to the north to defend against the Turks.
Hu Lu'an, who was most loyal to Yuwen Tuo, planned to resign from all military positions and embark on a new journey with Yuwen Tuo, who had no official position and was young, but Yuwen Tuo finally persuaded him to give him another task.
When Lu Xiao and others arrived at the gate of Tongtian Tower, the huge spiral tower towering into the sky had just been completed, and the people responsible for guarding it were all Yuwen Tuo's direct subordinates.
But there was something obviously wrong with the state of these elite Sui troops at this time. Their eyes were red, and civilians who fell to the ground and died could be seen everywhere inside and outside the tower. Judging from the situation at the scene, it seemed that they were attacked by these defenders.
"Ah!"
The defenders of the Tower of Babel have completely lost their minds. Once someone enters within sight, they will scream and attack first.
"clang!"
Lu Xiao raised his arm armor to block the sword struck by one of the soldiers, and his left hand sank slightly as he blocked it.
"Um?"
The strength of these soldiers is very abnormal, as if someone has stimulated their potential, exceeding the limit of their own strength.
After deflecting the Sui soldier's attack, the hidden sword hidden in the armplate popped out like electricity, piercing the enemy's neck.
This group of soldiers has no concept of defense at all, and their actions in battle are all offensive.
"Everyone, please pay attention. The action patterns of these soldiers are different from ordinary people. Don't be disrupted by their crazy attacks!"
Lu Xiao's use of the Hidden Blade was noticed by Yu'er. She temporarily handed the lancet to her left hand and tried to master the actual use of the Hidden Blade in battle.
The hidden sword arm armor that Lu Xiao made for Yu'er was synthesized from special materials through alchemy, which ensured its lightness while maximizing its defensive capabilities.
As long as it is not directly hit by a heavy weapon, ordinary swords cannot damage the structure of the arm armor.
Once the scars in the sky are repaired, Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen should leave this world soon.
In order to leave as much inherited knowledge to Yu'er as possible before leaving, Lu Xiao temporarily gave up the use of other weapons and charged into the crazy Sui army with only two hidden swords.
The structure of the Hidden Blade is mainly for stealth and lightness. Naturally, there are other considerations when piercing the human body. Lu Xiao tried his best to avoid strong bones and hit the vital points directly.
Yu'er's talent in martial arts is not weak. In Lu Xiao's smooth killing movements, she quickly integrated the theoretical knowledge taught by Lu Xiao.
Practice brings true knowledge. No matter how much you talk, it is better to go into battle and try it yourself.
After killing all the crazy soldiers blocking the door, Lu Xiao shook the blood on his hidden sword and threw it to both sides, and Yu'er followed suit.
Zhang Lie put the Pangu ax on his shoulder and frowned: "What's going on with these soldiers? Why do they attack indiscriminately?"
"Ah! Ah!"
At Lu Xiao's signal, Yongzhen captured a soldier without killing him.
This guy was still vigorous and vigorous under Jingchou's restrictions. Jingqiu's physical strength strengthened by Taoism was actually unable to completely suppress him.
"Certainly!"
A familiar voice came from behind everyone, and the struggling soldier suddenly lost consciousness and passed out with his eyes open.
Before he could turn around, Lu Xiao first heard the sound of the folding fan shaking, and he already guessed who was coming.
Xiaoxue turned around and bowed politely: "Gu Yue Immortal."
"No need to be polite."
Gu Yuesheng's expression was a little serious. He walked up to the unconscious soldier and examined it carefully.
"It's really the art of foxy charm."
Yu'er asked in confusion: "What is the art of fox charm?"
Gu Yuesheng shook his folding fan and frowned as he explained: "The art of fox charm is a unique talent of the female fox tribe."
"Usually this kind of spell is only used to charm others to obey your orders. When it is used excessively, it will lead to a crazy state that destroys the will of others and makes the recipients only instinctively follow orders."
Looking up at the hovering Babel Tower, Gu Yuesheng, who had always been calm and calm, showed a rare expression of depression: "Another clan member has gone astray. It's so sad and painful."
Before preparing to leave Daxing City, Lu Xiao specially teleported to Daliang and entrusted Gongshan Tie to pass through the temporary teleportation channel opened by Pangu Ax and go to Tianwai Village to inform Gu Yuesheng and Ran Weng.
Gu Yuesheng was brought here from Daliang by Ran Weng using his sword control skills. Gong Shantie, holding a sword in his hand, also followed the two of them.
"Senior brother?"
Chen Fu looked at Gong Shantie who was once again in military uniform with some surprise: "Your body..."
Gong Shantie smiled and patted Chen Fu on the shoulder: "Junior Brother Jiye, I am in good health. Even the immortals came to participate in the last battle. How could I miss it."
Ran Weng stroked his beard and looked at the upper level of Babel Tower and narrowed his eyes: "Old fox, that fellow of yours..."
"It's hopeless."
Gu Yuesheng said calmly: "Her mind was obsessed with obsession and she completely fell into evil ways. Do you also feel the ominous atmosphere in the tower?"
"Why are you talking so much?"
"Da~"
A female fairy in fluttering red clothes descended from the sky and landed lightly in front of Gu Yuesheng and Ran Weng. It was Fairy Zhong who had been missing before.
Ran Weng asked with a smile: "Is the worship finished?"
"Talk too much!"
Fairy Zhong curled her lips in displeasure: "Let's go and complete our respective responsibilities as soon as possible. Xuanyuan World is indeed not suitable for me."
