Audrey hasn't slept in the past few days. Her physical condition can hold her up, but she looks a little haggard.
As the San Antonio Mission got closer, Audrey became more and more uneasy. She couldn't help but said to Qi Xuansu, "I have a hunch that the people from the Gospel Ministry are getting closer and closer to us."
Qi Xuansu has always been stingy about feelings and did not comfort her: "Your feeling is right. The Gospel Ministry is gradually locking in our position, and we will eventually have to face them head-on."
Audrey suddenly turned pale and her lips trembled.
But Qi Xuansu went on to say, "But don't worry too much, we are getting closer to the reinforcements."
Audrey regained some of her energy and said, "She's from the south."
Qi Xuansu just nodded and said no more.
Qi Xuansu was not idle during this period. It was not as simple as accompanying Audrey on the train, but constantly communicating with various parties. Including but not limited to Li Mingzhen, Lu Yujue, and the main hall of Beichen Hall.
Li Mingzhen was mainly responsible for the aftermath of the retreat. With the headquarters of the Evangelical Ministry suffering heavy damage and the death of the traitor Sun Zhongnu, the retreat could be slowed down. Those who have been exposed will naturally be withdrawn, and those who have not been exposed can still stay.
Li Mingzhen respected Qi Xuansu very much. He reported everything, asked for instructions on everything, and left traces on everything. He was afraid that he would make mistakes on his own and end up taking the blame. He was just like a veteran.
Qi Xuansu is well-known for being responsible, so naturally he doesn't mind this kind of thing, so he can simply control it remotely.
Lu Yujue, in addition to reporting on Xidaomen's movements, also acted as a messenger. Because there was no preparation beforehand, Qi Xuansu was unable to directly contact Huangfu Ji who was also in the northern continent, and needed Lu Yujue to pass on the message in the middle. Lu Yujue had just conveyed
In response to Huangfu's kindness, the youngest master of Xidaomen made it clear that he would come to help Chief Qi. Naturally, Qi Xuansu could only express his gratitude.
As for the main hall of Beichen Hall, it is too far away and cannot be contacted by ordinary "Mother and Child Mirrors". This was mentioned on the Fenglinzhou battlefield. Several assistants want to contact Beichen Hall, usually using extra large "message talismans"
"Array" and communicate through words.
However, Beichen Hall, a special external organization, also has special response methods. The key lies in the rosette token in Qi Xuansu's hand. If nothing else, just in terms of communication function, it is comparable to a semi-immortal. Qingwei Zhenren and Dan
Tai Zhenxiao Dialogue is a similar method, but it is not portable, but fixed, and can be projected all over the body.
This type of communication objects are collectively called the "Yunwaixin" series, which is different from the "Signal Symbol Array", "Zimu" series, "Sound Transmission Array" and other communication means.
Even though "Yunwaixin" has all kinds of good features, the only disadvantage is that the cost is too high, so it cannot be popularized and can only be used by a very small number of people at the top.
Qi Xuansu reported the general process of the matter to Qingwei Zhenren. Others reported to Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu reported to higher-ups, reporting at every level and giving instructions at every level.
There are two main points in Qingwei's instructions. First, he continued to emphasize that the situation cannot be expanded. Even if a conflict occurs, it must be controlled to a local war and cannot develop into a full-scale war. It is also because of money issues. Second, let Qi Xuansu adapt to changes and use the camera.
decision.
The second instruction may seem general, but it actually gives Qi Xuansu a certain degree of autonomy, as long as it does not violate the major premise of the first point.
Just when Qi Xuansu was about to contact Lu Yujue again, the body of the steam train suddenly shook violently.
The sky outside the car window dimmed instantly, as if dark clouds were looming over the city.
"Here we come!" Audrey held her chest with both hands, her face full of panic.
Qi Xuansu signaled her to calm down, "You stay in the carriage, I'll go out and take a look."
"Okay." Audrey forced herself to calm down.
The next moment, Qi Xuansu appeared on the roof of the car.
The steam train was still running at high speed, but the sky was already pitch black at this time, with countless lead clouds gathering in, and thunder gathering among them, with claws and claws sticking out from time to time, like a dragon that could not see its head but not its tail, unable to see the whole picture.
If you look carefully, you will find that this thundercloud seems to be moving with the movement of the steam train.
That's all. There are still many priests in black clothes standing in the air. They are not hovering, but maintaining the same speed as the train and moving parallel. To the people on the train, they seem to be stationary.
Qi Xuansu stood with his hands behind his back, "Who is coming?"
The leader held a very special mace in his hand. It was more like a blacksmith's hammer than a mace. The hammer head was square and filled with extremely powerful thunder power.
Most of the thunderclouds overhead were caused by him.
The man responded coldly, "I am Cardinal Deacon Alex Tudor from the Congregation for the Evangelization."
Although Alex is only a cardinal deacon and seems to be on the same level as Dennis, who died in the hands of Qi Xuansu, it cannot be generalized. Just as Qi Xuansu is a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, Pei Xiaolou is also a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, but he cannot
It is said that Qi Xuansu and Pei Xiaolou are brothers. To this day, whether it is their position or their level of cultivation, they are no longer the same.
Qi Xuansu can be regarded as having handled many immortal objects, such as the "Heavenly Master's Male and Female Sword"
", "Three Treasures of Good Luck", "Guizang Lamp", "Bone Mirror", "Wu Niang", and even "Heart of Immortality Stone". I have also faced many immortal creatures, such as "Shuntian"
"Sword", "Mountain Whip", "Xirui Sutra", and I have seen even more, such as "Su Wang", "Eight Scenery Lamp", "Tongyou Lamp", "Qingzhu Bead", "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven"
etc.
In this regard, among the immortals, few people can compare with Qi Xuansu.
There is no doubt about Qi Xuansu's vision, and he can probably determine that the hammer in Alex's hand should be an artifact, equivalent to a fairy under the Taoist system.
This is not surprising either. Qi Xuansu is not an immortal but also possesses immortal objects. Alex should be in a similar situation.
At this time, Qi Xuansu is just an incarnation. Without the help of "Wu Niang", it is not as good as the original body. Even if there is no divine weapon, he may not be the opponent of so many people, let alone the divine weapon.
But no matter what, just at this moment, the sound of phoenixes resounded across the sky.
The phoenix roared from behind the clouds. The dark clouds suddenly lit up and became brighter and brighter. Their edges seemed to be burning, as if they were inlaid with a fiery red gold edge.
Immediately afterwards, a fire phoenix tore through the thick lead cloud. Wherever it passed, the thunder and lightning dissipated invisible, and the flames burned the lead cloud into ashes and dyed it fiery red.
In the blink of an eye, the scene of dark clouds looming over the city turned into a brilliant sunset.
"I'm coming too."
Wu Niang finally arrived.
The fire phoenix roared across the sky, attracting everyone's attention. The scorching heat caused the air in its path to be violently distorted, and there were even flames left. The priests of the Evangelical Ministry evaded and dodged for fear of being contaminated at all.
In the end, the fire phoenix headed straight for Qi Xuansu in full view of everyone.
Qi Xuansu was engulfed by the flames, but was not burned to ashes. Instead, he seemed to be reborn in the flames. His momentum was rising steadily. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the pseudo-immortal stage, and was even more powerful than the pure fire phoenix itself.
Qi Xuansu's body is surrounded by a layer of five-color flames, which does not harm Qi Xuansu at all, but can burn everything.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu had a long sword in his hand, which was "Qingyun".
Qi Xuansu unfolded his own celestial dharma body, with Bemihu Zun as the main one, because this dharma body is the dharma body of the sun god, which controls light and flames, and it just fits Wuniang. With the two complementing each other, the power is even higher, not to mention Qi Xuansu
There is also "Izanagi's left hand". Izanagi is the father of Himihuzun. The two come from the same source and have similarities.
Under such triple blessing, Qi Xuansu's control over the flames
The control has reached a very terrifying situation.
The elite members of the Gospel Ministry who were sent to round up Qi Xuansu all had serious expressions on their faces.
Huangfu was able to successfully raid the headquarters of the Gospel Ministry, partly because all the elites of the Gospel Ministry came out to hunt down Qi Xuansu, but even so, these elites did not dare to be careless. After all, Qi Xuansu was already in the pseudo-immortal stage at this time, and he was not an ordinary pseudo-immortal, because
Wuniang herself is in the pseudo-immortal stage, and after adding Qi Xuansu, she goes even further. If I use the analogy of a parliamentarian, she is a senior pseudo-immortal.
With the blessing of various external forces, it is very close to the level of an immortal.
Alex made a gesture, and the surrounding evangelical priests scattered and retreated. At the same time, they began to pray and continued to bless Alex with divine magic.
Alex raised the hammer in his hand and regrouped the thunder clouds.
A loud roar resounded throughout the sky.
A blue thunderbolt cut through the thick clouds and fell straight towards Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu raised his head to look at the rolling thunder, and raised the "Qingyun" in his hand without any hesitation.
There is no sword energy, only flames rising into the sky!
The fire dragon roared and directly smashed the falling thunder into pieces. Both were destroyed in an instant, leaving only countless tiny electric lights and embers scattered between the sky and the earth.
The black clouds in the sky are getting darker and darker, the thunder is roaring, and the purple lightning is wandering erratically.
In the East, various celestial phenomena are often regarded as expressions of God's emotions. Rain represents sorrow, snow represents sorrow, and thunder represents anger, which symbolizes the wrath of the sky. Thunder is angry at those who dare to disobey the way of heaven and dare to resist.
Amidst the thunder, a huge vortex slowly appeared in the middle of the layers of dark clouds.
The second thunder exploded from the whirlpool. It was as thick as several people's arms, and like a line connecting heaven and earth, it was clearly visible even from hundreds of miles away.
Qi Xuansu did not dodge and raised his left hand.
The endless flames merged into a long river and rose upstream.
This thunderbolt did not even completely fall, but was lifted up by the long river of flames and returned to the sky little by little.
Not only that, the flames also spread to the sky, completely igniting the entire sky. It could no longer be described as burning clouds, as if magma was surging, just like the scene of hell described in the holy scriptures of the Holy Court.
However, under the raging flames, the last thunderbolt still struggled to poke its head out. This time it was not a traditional thunderbolt like a long snake, but a spherical lightning with a diameter of more than thirty feet, like a "thunderbolt" thrown by a flying boat.
The "Phoenix Eyes" series just fell towards Qi Xuansu in a daze.
