Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 934 Nine Stars Alignment Formation

The white mist in the sky was almost solidified, pressing heavily on everyone and making it hard to breathe.

"I can't breathe!" The imperial guards standing outside the palace suddenly turned red in the face, opened their mouths wide to breathe, and cried for help to Dao Yi and the others who were very close to them.

Dao Yi glanced back, took out a stack of talismans, and handed them to Wang Xuanzhi and the other two who had followed her out. "Help them stick these on their bodies." As she finished speaking, many green vines suddenly sprouted from the soles of her feet, lifting them into the air.

The three of them didn't even have time to look at her; they were busy applying talismans to everyone, and in no time, everyone was able to breathe again.

The remaining talismans were handed over to one of the imperial guards and taken into the Guande Hall.

Dao Yi stood in mid-air, looking down. The entire imperial city was shrouded in dense spiritual energy, like the perpetual white mist in the mountains, which was even increasing in number. She returned to where she had been standing, her lips pressed tightly together. "An Dao, Xian Yu, Er Bai, you must listen carefully to what I am about to say."

"I originally set up a protective altar in the capital. If they didn't know how to enter the city, other demons and cultivators with cultivation wouldn't be able to get in. However, Elder Xu and the others are now using this formation to envelop the entire imperial city, and have set up another layer of formation outside. If the formation isn't broken in time, spiritual energy will continue to pour in. At that time, even those who don't cultivate will unconsciously absorb it."

The three of them immediately understood their current predicament.

They're like people in a pot; if the lid can't be opened, they'll all be cooked and eaten together.

"What do we need to do?"

Dao Yi said, "If I'm not mistaken, Elder Xu and the others are using the Nine Stars Linked Formation. This formation has nine directions and one array eye. The nine directions should be guarded by nine Venerables, while the array eye is guarded by Elder Xu himself."

Wang Xuanzhi asked, "You want us to destroy, or rather, defeat, the nine Venerables guarding the corners of the Nine Star Array, right?"

Dao shook his head, pointing at Chen Yizhi and Lin Erbai, "It's not you, it's them."

Facing the puzzled looks of the group, she said, "The imperial city needs someone to guard it, and An Dao is very suitable. Xian Yu and Er Bai, you two go to the due north direction, where the Black-Clad Venerable is guarded. This person is bloodthirsty and extremely cold-hearted. As for the other directions..."

"Master Xiao Yi, I'm here!" The newcomer waved to them; it was none other than the unruly Chen Shuguang. As they drew closer, the blood on their armor filled the air around their noses. But today, before Xuanwu Gate, whose armor hadn't been stained with blood?

He ran up to the group, slightly out of breath, and said, "Master Xiao Yi, many people have come to help outside the palace."

After hearing who Chen Shuguang was referring to, Dao Yi didn't stand on ceremony and quickly recounted what had just happened: "Go to the southwest direction, where the White-Robed Venerable is guarding. He is extremely dignified and enjoys watching them fight."

Chen Shuguang gasped, "Is this guy out of his mind?"

But he wasn't afraid. The round-faced boy straightened his face and accepted the task.

Then Dao Yi mentioned the arrangements for the others: "Little Fatty, you accompany Jiang Qi and Wu Si to meet the Orange-Clad Venerable, who summons gods with talismans; Little Tian Gan, accompany Xiao Tong to stop the Green-Clad Venerable, who is fond of cruelty; Jiu Niang and Xue Ershi, stop the Blue-Clad Venerable, who is fond of jade and values ​​wealth very much."

"As for the Purple-Robed Venerable, I saw a fluctuation of spiritual energy just now. It should be that old man Ling Xuzi who went there. As for the Yellow-Robed Venerable, my senior brother is there. As for the Green-Robed Venerable, Father Wang will be guarding him."

"The core of the formation cannot be left unattended, and Elder Xu cannot leave. Usually, the formation is destroyed through the core, but this formation is full of spiritual energy, so the method of destroying it through the core is not feasible. Therefore, the only way is to destroy the corners of the formation to break its shape, and then destroy it together."

Time was of the essence, and those with profound inner strength could already feel the air thick with an aura that could take lives at any moment.

After listening to the arrangements, Chen Shuguang noted down the characteristics of the several venerable ones, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Chen Yizhi and Lin Erbai also headed due north.

"An Dao, you're cleaning up after the King of Qin. I'm going south. Last time I fought the Red Fox, this time I'll make sure he stays!" Dao Yi finished speaking, and in a few leaps, he disappeared into the vast palace. Wang Xuanzhi watched their backs until they were out of sight, then took the bone flute from his waist and gently stroked it.

He lowered his eyes and said softly, "Perhaps this is what Master meant by the situation."

When Wang Xuanzhi raised his eyes, his gaze was filled with determination.

"Xiao Yi, Xian Yu, you will definitely win!"

"We meet again, little Taoist priest~" Red Fox was not surprised at all when she saw the person in front of her, and there was even a hint of joy in her tone.

Dao Yi was filled with doubts. Not to brag, but in the last battle with the other party, the Red Fox did not run away when it saw her, but it certainly did not have it as easy as it did now.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

While Dao Yi and Chi Hu were facing off, Chen Yizhi and the others also found their opponents.

The offensive and defensive operations, which involved nine corners of the formation, had already quietly begun without the knowledge of most people in Chang'an.

As Wang Xuanzhi stood in the imperial city, sensing the air's varying density, his heart clenched with anxiety.

The King of Qin was injured and fought his own brother for a long time, which aggravated his injuries. At this moment, he was being treated by the imperial physician, while the sage on the other side had completely lost his command over this imperial city. Accompanied by Zhang De, he was escorted by a group of people to a side hall to await their unknown fate.

Seeing Wang Xuanzhi busy with things without saying a word, he still looked like the same gentle young man, but at this moment his whole being exuded an aura of "keep away."

Such a rare sight piqued the King of Qin's curiosity, even though the crisis was not yet over.

"Is An Dao worried about Xie's second wife and the others?"

Unable to explain what was on his mind, Wang Xuanzhi could only nod.

The King of Qin smiled calmly, seeing that he had something more to say, and went along with him, saying, "If they cannot return, you and I will return together from this city; if they can return, what good is it for An Dao to worry about it now?"

Wang Xuanzhi bowed deeply, "Your Highness is too kind. Chang'an will certainly be safe and sound."

The King of Qin smiled and said, "An Dao, you can go and attend to your business now."

People don't think too much when they're busy.

Wang Xuanzhi followed the King of Qin's men, busy with various tasks, but he didn't know what he was doing. Until one person appeared and made him stop his endless busyness.

The person who came was wearing a veil that covered most of his body. The veil was gray and dull, and it was impossible to tell anything about him at a glance.

Wang Xuanzhi examined it closely. Although the veil was gray, it was made of high-quality fabric, and the person's figure was elusive, as if he could fly away at any moment.

He guessed the other person's identity. "What shameful thing has Elder Xu done to warrant such secrecy?"

Good afternoon!
