Taiping Inn

Shangqing Prefecture is the territory of Zhengyi Sect. If Shangqing County is the main gate of Zhengyi Sect, Shangqing Town is the second gate of Zhengyi Sect.

As the sun sets in the west, a large group of crows came from nowhere in the county town of Shangqing County. They did not land, but circled back and forth in the sky, making loud cries, disturbing people and exuding an ominous meaning. Along with the crows, there were also gusts of cold wind, like ghosts crying, which was really creepy.

At this time, on the top of the county town, two soldiers guarding the city were resting on the battlements. The old soldier was smoking a water pipe, exhaling a long puff of smoke from time to time, with a comfortable face. The younger soldiers looked up at the crows circling overhead and said, "It's really weird. Where do so many crows come from?"

The old soldier exhaled another puff of smoke and said, "If you ask me, no matter where they come from, it's not a good sign. But it's not our turn to worry about this matter. The county lord will make the decision. If the county lord can't make the decision, let the prefecture lord make the decision. If the prefecture lord can't make the decision, there are Zhongcheng and the Ministry above. If it doesn't work, we can go to Yunjin Mountain to ask the gods of the Great Zhenren Mansion to exorcise evil spirits, catch ghosts, and summon thunder. They are experts."

The young soldier was about to speak, but he accidentally glanced outside the city and was stunned.

The older soldier began to smoke the water pipe again, but after a long time, he didn't hear the young soldier speak. He couldn't help but look up and saw that the young soldier seemed to have lost his soul. He was very surprised and couldn't help but look along with the young soldier's gaze. Then he trembled all over and the water pipe in his hand fell directly to the ground.

I saw that the line between the sky and the earth at sunset was stained with a layer of black color at some point, and then this black color quickly spread over, like the ink stains that continued to spread on paper. Looking carefully, the black color turned out to be countless black clouds, swarming towards Shangqing County from all directions.

Not long after, Shangqing County was already covered by dark clouds, and the city was gloomy and dark. Although it was only dusk at this time, it was like midnight. In the darkness, the gloomy wind was getting stronger and stronger, and its sound was shrill. If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear countless creepy whispers. In such a situation, no one in the entire county dared to walk outside, and they all returned home and closed their doors. Even the soldiers guarding the city on the top of the city all hid in the gate tower on the top of the city, closed the door, and shivered.

And twenty miles outside the city, it was still sunset and the sky was full of red clouds.

There was a world of difference between the inside and outside of just twenty miles.

Above the black cloud, stood a man in his forties, wearing a black and gold robe, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The ten Ming officials of the Yin-Yang Sect are: Wang Tianxiao, the first Ming official, Zhong Wu, the second Ming official, Wang Zhongfu, the third Ming official, Li Shixing, the fourth Ming official, Zhuge Zuan, the sixth Ming official, Jin Shiyan, the seventh Ming official, Zhang Zheng, the eighth Ming official, Wei Zhen, the ninth Ming official, Shangguan Wan, and the tenth Ming official, Zhao Chunxiao. Each of the ten has his own strengths and duties. Now the sixth Ming official, Jin Shiyan, the seventh Ming official, Zhang Zheng, and the tenth Ming official, Zhao Chunxiao, have died, leaving seven Ming officials.

These ten Ming officials are jokingly called the ten fingers of the Earth Master. Now that the Earth Master has arrived, will the seven Ming officials be far behind?

At this moment, a long sword suddenly appeared out of thin air below the black cloud, suspended in the air, and then this long sword turned into two, two into four, four into eight, eight into sixteen, sixteen into thirty-two, thirty-two into sixty-four, until there were more than a thousand, the sword energy was sharp, and the majestic sword intent pierced the sky.

"Wang Tianxiao, you dare to set foot in Wuzhou Shangqing Mansion, do you think that there is no one in my righteous way?" A woman's voice sounded.

As the voice fell, the more than a thousand flying swords all rose up and swept into the rolling black clouds.

In a flash, the black clouds in the sky became fragmented.

Wang Tianxiao didn't care. He didn't see how he moved. Just when the black clouds were torn by the long sword, new black clouds were born to fill them, and there was no light at all. The head of the Ten Palaces slowly said: "Bai Xiushang, Bai Xiushang, do you like to meddle in other people's business so much?"

As the voice fell, the more than a thousand long swords that swept into the black clouds suddenly lost all their spirituality and fell like rain. Then a woman slowly appeared in midair. It was Bai Xiushang, the leader of Cihang Sect.

At this time, Bai Xiushang had no sword in her hand. The more than a thousand long swords she had just condensed with the energy of heaven and earth. Before they landed on the ground, they had dissipated and returned to the world.

Bai Xiushang said calmly: "Wang Tianxiao, you offended Song Zheng and were seriously injured. Under the pressure of Wudao Sect, you pretended to be dead and went into seclusion. I wonder if you have been practicing for many years and have realized the creation of heaven and man?"

Wang Tianxiao's voice fell from the rolling black clouds: "Unfortunately, I have to disappoint Sect Leader Bai. I have already stepped into the so-called realm of creation of heaven and man. If I don't have the 'Wonderful Lotus' in my hand, Sect Leader Bai may not be my opponent."

Bai Xiushang did not comment, but stretched out her hand again, and a jade sword appeared in her palm. The treasure was in good condition and had a faint glow, but it was still far from the 'Wonderful Lotus'.

Then Bai Xiushang slashed out with a sword, and a white sword energy more than ten feet long pierced towards Wang Tianxiao like a long rainbow piercing the sun.

This sword energy seemed ordinary, as the saying goes, great complexity leads to simplicity, but in fact it was a sword that condensed Bai Xiushang's spirit and energy.

Wang Tianxiao had no intention of attacking, but just looked at the sword energy quietly.

In an instant, countless thin lines appeared in front of Wang Tianxiao, extending and interlacing on their own, densely packed, and finally formed an extremely mysterious magic array, like a mysterious star map dotted with stars.

Taiping Sect and Yinyang Sect are from the same lineage, and the two have many similarities in magic calculation, so many of their methods are also similar.

After the sword energy entered the star map, it immediately stopped moving. But if you look closely, you will find that the sword energy has been moving forward all the time, but it has fallen into a small world that is completely different from the present world. The star map keeps moving it to change its route, so it can never get close to Wang Tianxiao.

In myths and legends, the Queen Mother of the West, who lives in Kunlun, once used a fairy hairpin and supreme magical powers to create a "Milky Way" that immortals could not fly across. The means used by Wang Tianxiao at the moment are similar to this legend. If you want to cross the "Milky Way", you must crack his star map or directly break this small world with force.

Of course, there are people who can crack the star map, such as Mr. Shen of Taiping Sect, who has such ability. Because the two are from the same lineage, although Mr. Shen's realm is not as good as Wang Tianxiao's, Mr. Shen's magic is far better than Wang Tianxiao, so Mr. Shen can crack most of Wang Tianxiao's magical powers. Even if he cannot win, there is a high probability of escaping.

Because of this, the old man Zang, who was the most fearless of karma, took action against Shen Wuyou. Shen Wuyou was not good at attacking, and the old man Zang won by "number" and could slowly wear Shen Wuyou down. Bai Xiushang's Buddhist magical power could restrain wronged souls and zombies, and she was good at attacking, and her realm was higher than that of the old man Zang, so the old man Zang was no match for Bai Xiushang, but Bai Xiushang's weakness was that she was not good at calculating the formation, so Wang Tianxiao was used to deal with Bai Xiushang. In detail, Wang Tianxiao was the one who truly inherited the true teachings of the geomancer in the Yin-Yang Sect. In the Yin-Yang Sect, Wang Tianxiao's realm was not only second only to the geomancer Xu Wugui, but his status was also second to none, equivalent to the deputy sect master. With his deliberate calculations, Bai Xiushang might not be able to defeat him.

This sword energy was advancing at an extremely "slow" speed, and from time to time there was a slight cracking sound. This was because the "stars" that made up the star map were shattered by the sword energy. If the speed at which the sword energy broke the "stars" was faster than the speed at which the star map was reorganized and regenerated, then the star map could be broken. If the person who drew the sword was Li Daoxu, then the star map would have been completely broken at this time.

The sword energy advanced inch by inch, but every inch it advanced, the sword energy dissipated a little. When the sword energy finally arrived in front of Wang Tianxiao, it was already at the end of its strength. Wang Tianxiao flicked his finger and it completely dissipated into nothingness.

The next moment, the black sea of ​​clouds rolled and surged, slowly pressing down. At first glance, it seemed to be within reach.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, Wang Tianxiao's voice rang out: "Bai Xiushang, you are the leader of the Cihang Sect, not a member of the Zhengyi Sect. If you leave now, there is still room for you."

As Wang Tianxiao spoke, the sea of ​​clouds began to slowly rotate, gradually forming a huge vortex. The vortex was deep and bottomless, as if it was a huge eye, looking down coldly at Shangqing County and Bai Xiushang.

Bai Xiushang did not speak, but countless sword shadows slowly emerged behind her, like a peacock spreading its tail, and like a huge screen, with thousands of swords.

Wang Tianxiao slowly restrained his smile. Although the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" practiced by this woman was the least lethal of the three sword techniques, it also depended on who it was compared with. Compared with other sword techniques, the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" was not weak at all, and it really should not be underestimated.

Bai Xiushang raised the jade sword in her hand and pointed it at Wang Tianxiao.

The long swords behind her moved with it. It is said that swords fall like rain, but at this time, countless long swords went upstream and rose into the air together. The long swords flew at a very fast speed, dragging a trail of tails. From a distance, they looked like countless thin lines, densely packed, thousands of them, and with great momentum.

After these long swords swept into the sea of ​​clouds, the entire sea of ​​clouds suddenly surged violently like boiling water in a pot. The whirlpool under the sea of ​​clouds also shook endlessly, with thunder wandering, alternating between light and darkness.

At this moment, a young voice sounded leisurely: "Cang Yuan Hao Ling, returning white to blue, deification within, Jing Deng Zi Ting, dare to test, destroy with flowing bells, God's Jade Scroll, named Taiqing."

When the voice fell, a purple thunder as thick as a bucket appeared out of thin air above Wang Tianxiao's head and fell down with a bang.

Shangqing County, which was already as dark as night, was directly illuminated by this lightning. Although Wang Tianxiao, who withstood the thunder, did not turn into ashes, his entire figure became blurred, like a constantly shaking shadow. At the same time, countless fireflies were blown out, as small as fireflies and as big as goose feathers, floating and flying in all directions.

Wang Tianxiao smiled and said, "What a great 'Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Righteous Law', the Great Heavenly Master has finally arrived."
