(116) Obsession (Shuiyun, III)

She glanced again at the place where Wei Feng disappeared, then formed a curse seal with her hands, and her body slowly merged into the air, becoming one with the surrounding scenery. She quickly performed another alchemy, letting her body float into the air, and headed towards the city gate.

Fly in the direction.

There seemed to be nothing around, but Shuiyun knew clearly that the members of the Frost Team were following behind him - for every executive of the "Mist Department", infiltration was a compulsory subject.

She approached the city gate silently, formed an exploratory seal on her right hand, and swept the entire city wall with her spiritual power.

There were no spells used to counter invisibility nearby, or enemies that also used alchemy to become invisible. She exhaled and slowly landed on top of the city wall. Then she stared at the space in front of her, silently reciting the incantation, and exerting her best power.

The spell is neither complex nor lengthy. Any qualified alchemist can learn this spell in three to five days. However, simplicity does not mean weak - Kong told her that for an outstanding spellcaster, the most basic

The alchemy is enough to create miracles.

She finished chanting and formed the final curse seal, letting the magic power spread to the entire city wall. The air trembled slightly for a moment, and then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

The defenders were still on guard nervously. Their eyes turned to the original location of the team, even though there was no one there. The spell distorted the light, solidified the sound, and froze all tangible or intangible perceptions, allowing them to perceive things.

, always maintaining the scene a few minutes ago.

Shuiyun understood that perfect illusion did not exist. It could mislead everyone for a short period of time, but it could not confuse them forever. The few defenders on the city wall noticed something abnormal and turned their heads sharply——

All they saw were the "people" near the city, and their comrades lying on the ground at some unknown time. The magicians in white had already descended on the city head silently, using magic to make them fall asleep one by one. Because they were given

With their false five senses, even if their companions fall beside them, they are still unaware of it.

For some reason, Shuiyun didn't let his subordinates take their lives. Maybe it was because the "Fog Department" seldom killed people and there was no need to break the rules; maybe it was because of... what Wei Feng said to her in the early morning of that day.

She lowered her head and saw Wei Feng knocking out several guards guarding the city gate. The man walked towards the strong and extremely heavy city gate covered with steel bones, raised his right foot - and then stepped hard on the ground.

The ground instantly melted into mud, condensed into rocks, and then turned into sharp stone blades. The stone blades grew upward like lightning, easily splitting the thick wood bolting the city gate into two pieces. Then, Wei Feng pressed his hands on the door.

, took a deep breath, and drew strength from the continent under his feet.

"Borrow the power of the earth to open mountains——!"

With a loud shout and a loud bang, the heavy door that originally required the combined efforts of several people was pushed open by the man alone.

The barrier no longer existed, and the road leading to the inner city was open all the way. The "people" she led flocked to the city gate, and the cascading slogans shook the air and were vaguely audible.

"——Give me Dayan! Give me back my land! Give me back my home!"

"——Kill all the monsters! Destroy the alliance! Get the hell out of peace!"

"——Clean up the emperor's side and kill the traitors! The empire of mankind should be dominated by mankind!"

The broad avenue is as straight as a line, connecting the outer city with the inner city. Most of the houses have their doors tightly closed, and the windows are sealed with paper or curtains. Most of the shops have stopped operating, and a few are bold or reckless.

The merchants were still busy closing their stalls. Several children who seemed to have sneaked out to play were hurriedly dragged away by their elders, leaving the usually bustling streets completely deserted.

Shuiyun breathed a sigh of relief. She still had hatred for Ying Zheng, and therefore disliked the current emperor, but the common people of Xin'an, like the people of Yanwu... at least would not be punished with death.

She turned around, preparing to rush to the inner city first. However, a familiar exclamation - from a member of the Frost Group - came from the distance on the left, interrupting her almost completed spell. She quickly turned her head,

The only visible sight was a running blue shadow and the figure of another subordinate falling to the ground.

The figure quickly passed over the city wall, like a brilliant zigzag line. Several bolts of thunder and lightning or flames blocked the front, and it passed straight through without slowing down at all. Every time the light exploded on the city wall, it was accompanied by a low cry, and

A figure in white falls.

Shuiyun could hardly believe his eyes - the frost group was not good at close combat, but the protective spells they cast on themselves were enough to resist ordinary swords, guns or arrows. However, for the attacker, regardless of attack or defense,

None of the spells seem to have any effect.

Several spells passed through her mind, but none of them were suitable for the situation at this time. The blue figure had already passed through most of the city wall, and was about to approach her——

Fortunately, another voice sounded first.

"——The earth. Turn into a solid wall to protect us!"

A rock wall suddenly rose up from the city wall, crossing the phantom. It rose into the air, avoiding the obstacles in front of it, but eventually slowed down. Then Wei Feng jumped onto the city wall, broke the air with his right fist, and struck directly at the person in front of him.

Blue figure.

The arm shrouded in azure light collided with another weapon, causing a harsh clash like gold and stone. The "King of Earth" stood on the spot as steady as a rock, and the blue figure groaned and rolled backwards.

After a few feet, the impact of that punch was released.

The figure quickly jumped up and confronted Wei Feng not far away without attacking again.

It was a girl with short brown hair, only over four feet tall. She was wearing a dark blue dress that was easy to move and not like Inis. She was holding a golden scissor that was similar to her height. It was engraved with dense magic runes.

On top of that 'weapon', it looked like a silver thorn coiled around it.

The background of the girl quickly emerged from the memory. The daughter of "Puppet Master Luo Zhen", Lapis Lazuli. Her age is unknown. The earliest relevant record is in the thirty-seventh year of the empire, but there are also sightings and rumors before the establishment of the empire. She usually travels around.

, whose business is to collect, cultivate and sell rare flowers and trees. Although the 'Blue Rose' in his hand is a gardening tool, it can easily defeat most alchemy——

Those are not important. In terms of strength alone, Wei Feng is enough to suppress Lapis Lazuli; she checked a nearby unconscious member of the "Frost Group" and confirmed that the other person's life was not in danger. The current situation was still not out of control, but Shui Yun felt again

A faint uneasiness arose.

"Puppet Master Luo Zhen" has never been involved in political affairs, so there is no need to worry about her interference. However, does the arrival of the puppet girl herald the existence of an 'accident'——?

A loud bang came from under the city wall, and the huge iron gate fell to the ground, once again blocking the open passage. The "people" who had been approaching the city gate were forced to stop, and the team was in chaos for a while.

Shuiyun narrowed his eyes and considered countermeasures in his mind. Wei Feng was led away by the lapis lazuli stone, which gave the defenders a chance to lower the gate. This kind of obstacle can't stop the "King of Earth" either, as long as the blue one is eliminated first.

The "Trouble" of Sexy Clothes——

However, the next moment, she caught another group of people out of the corner of her eye.

Eight figures in gray robes walked onto the city wall and quickly formed a ring about ten feet in diameter. They were alchemists from the Ministry of Rites. Apart from studying magic, they were mainly responsible for divination of good and bad luck, hosting ceremonies, or praying for good weather. They also

They are old guys who are good at ritual spells. They have the ability to call for rain to relieve drought, or change the direction of the wind to prevent the spread of wildfires.

But no matter which one, it seems to have no effect at the moment.

Her gaze passed through the gap in the robe and landed on the "Heart of the Formation" in the circle. Normally, that would be a chief priest, identified by a golden piping robe. But what is located there now is another

A petite girl wrapped in an emerald green dress.

"……malachite?"

Her uneasiness worsened. No matter what the other party wanted to do, it was definitely not to help her and Wei Feng. Shuiyun opened his mouth silently and clasped his hands silently in the air. Transparent patterns floated in the air,

Forming a spell powerful enough to destroy the ritual in front of you.

At this moment, Malachite suddenly turned his head, as if he had already seen her.

The emerald green doll girl raised the corner of her mouth, and a glimmer of light flashed through her green eyes. Shuiyun's eyes were involuntarily attracted, and the hands with the seal stopped moving. But she immediately reacted and bit her own hand hard.

The tip of the tongue, using pain to break the other party's superficial charm.

The next moment, there was a soft touch on her right shoulder, and a spiritual power - or magic power, spread from there to her whole body. Shuiyun turned around suddenly and saw what Wei Feng called a "variable"

One of the two people, a blonde girl named Lin, winked at her.

This is a trap, she thought - but it was too late.

Before she could respond, she felt slightly dizzy, and the blond girl, Malachite, the alchemists, and even the entire city wall disappeared from sight.
