There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

"so--"

Li Tingyun tapped the table with his knuckles, thinking rapidly in his mind: "What should I do now? Contact the elders?"

After listening to Gu Xia's description of the barrier, he was quite interested.

"Let's contact the elders and ask them if they can be more efficient. If they can't find the answer, our bodies will be cold."

The bad thing about the righteous way is that it takes so much time for them to investigate something.

Gu Xia threw out the jade slip from his waist, and the bright light gradually lit up, attracting everyone's attention.

"Xiao Xia?"

On the other side of the jade slip, Elder Zhong Yi's voice came over, as if he didn't expect her to contact him at this time.

Gu Xia responded, cut to the chase, and went straight to the point: "Elder, we are in the palace now. I just found out that the entire imperial city seems to be trapped in an invisible barrier. Can you send some more people over?"

Elder Zhong Yi immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and asked in a deep voice: "What's the situation inside now?"

Xie Baiyi took the jade slip and briefly recounted the evil spirits and ghosts they had killed in recent days. This made Elder Zhong Yi lose his composure.

"Didn't they just say that there was something wrong with the dragon vein? How come so many evil things are involved?"

All the disciples looked at each other in bewilderment; they had no idea what was going on.

The voices of several elders were also heard from the jade slip. Elder Zhong Yi quickly told them not to act rashly and to put their own safety first. He would send someone over now to try to break the barrier.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing."

Gu Xia said: "Did you find out what the formation above the palace was like before?"

Elder Zhong Yi did not understand the formation. He thought about it and took the jade slip to find other people.

Now, because of the strange formation, the elders of each sect have gone back to their own libraries to look through them, so he is not sure whether they have found it or not.

But soon, the elder of Xuanming Sect came in anxiously and said quickly: "Found it."

His complexion looked very bad, which made Elder Zhong Yi feel nervous.

"That's an extremely ancient and evil formation above the palace. It's constantly draining the power of luck in the palace. The dragon vein is where the luck of a country is, and it's where the emperors of all generations have lived. If I'm guessing correctly, someone must want to use the power of luck of the dragon vein to revive some evil existence."

But if it was not clear what it was exactly before, after listening to the descriptions of the disciples, the elders had some vague guesses in their minds.

"The Lord of the Ghost Realm?!"

An elder gasped: "How could it be? Isn't it sealed?"

Several hundred years ago, the Ghost Lord led his group of ghosts and underworld soldiers to stir up trouble in the world of cultivation, but was almost defeated by the joint efforts of several sect leaders.

But it is an evil thing after all. As long as a little bit of darkness is infinitely magnified, it can be immortal.

That's why the five sect leaders sealed up the only remaining trace of its soul.

Speaking of which, the place where it was sealed was exactly in the forbidden area of ​​Qingyun Sect.

"It was suppressed in the forbidden area for hundreds of years. How did it escape?"

Some elders found this unbelievable and turned to look at the elders of Qingyun Sect who were present.

The elders of Qingyun Sect were also confused. They had been busy clearing out the hidden traitors in the sect recently, and no one had paid attention to the forbidden area.

In the eyes of everyone in the world of cultivation, shouldn’t forbidden areas be something that should be kept away from?

Who would have the time to wander around in a forbidden area?

……

The disciples do not have any fear or awe towards the Lord of the Ghost Realm.

After all, they didn't exist hundreds of years ago.

It’s just that the focus of the Taiyi Sect people shifted strangely.

Ye Sui'an pointed at himself with a smile: "No, no, no, there are still us."

Xu Xingmu also nodded in agreement: "That's right, returning to the forbidden area is like returning home."

Qingyun Sect elder: "..."

Other biographies: "..."

You guys are pretty proud of yourself, right?

Why would a direct disciple speak so proudly of something like squatting in a forbidden area?

"Won't they feel embarrassed?"

Gu Lanyi had no expression on his face and spoke coldly: "Do you think they can live like this?"

“……”There is nothing wrong with what he said.

Elder Zhong Yi held his forehead and quickly interrupted these little bastards who were still showing off their glorious history. He said in a deep voice: "Anyway, send someone to investigate the situation first. As for this formation."

He paused for a moment and gave him a questioning look.

The elder of Xuanming Sect, who had eaten a big melon for no apparent reason, finally reacted and continued, "There are two ways. One is that you find a way to find the person who set up the formation. Kill him and the formation will naturally fall apart."

"Another..." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps you can try to kill a ghost master to help you have fun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of disciples looked at him with shocked eyes.

No, Elder, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Gu Xia touched his chin and said, "How about I think about where we should bury it?"

Xu Xingmu raised his hand excitedly: "Let my dad pick a good place for us to lie down together."

Other biographies: "..."

No, they refuse.

They felt they could still be saved.

Gu Lanyi said with a hint of sarcasm: "What do you mean by that? Who are we? Are we qualified to kill a ghost lord that requires the joint efforts of several sect leaders?"

Gu Xia immediately looked at him with a "stunned" look.

Good guy.

Her little mouth was like one filled with poison, and she looked down on everyone equally.

The elder of Xuanming Sect probably felt that his proposal was a bit outrageous. He stroked his beard and said, "Anyway, you can try to find a solution from the dragon vein. After all, it is the source."

“Otherwise, once the power of destiny contained in the dragon vein is drained, not to mention the palace, the entire imperial city will be hard to escape.”

The light on the jade slip gradually dimmed, leaving a group of disciples with different thoughts staring at each other in bewilderment.

It was also the first time for them to encounter such a large scene, so they were inevitably a little panicked.

"Don't panic yet." This is when Xie Baiyi's personality charm was reflected. He calmly analyzed: "The elders are on their way. From now on, we will act separately and try our best to protect the palace while investigating the ghost master."

There is no other way so far.

Hearing his calm words, the other disciples also calmed down.

"Tsk."

Gu Xia sat up, dusted himself off, and said calmly, "I'll try to get the Emperor to agree that we go check out the dragon vein."

If what the elder said is true, then the dragon vein must have been tampered with by someone.

According to the information she had received, perhaps only the direct descendants of the Human Emperor had the opportunity to come into contact with the dragon veins.

This will narrow the scope a lot.

They acted immediately after the five sects had discussed it and immediately started to act separately.
