Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 497 Chapter 496. Conquering the Ming Capital (Two Chapters in One)

Zhuo Baojie, now dressed in a purple Taoist robe, is quite skilled in taking back the North Pole Sword from his master Lei Jun and cleaning up the remaining traces at the scene.

The explosion of thunder and fire caused by the Arctic Sword falling to the ground quickly devoured and burned the huge remains of the Golden Toad in the Forest.

The Nanzhao monsters that had gathered here with it had all suffered heavy losses.

However, some people who were on the periphery managed to escape and barely managed to save their lives.

But at this time, they were all cleared out one by one by Zhuo Baojie, who had arrived early and was waiting for the master's signal.

Although there were many great demons of the seventh or even eighth heaven levels among them, they were affected by the fall of the North Pole Sword. Even if a few of them were lucky enough to survive, they were all injured and in shock.

For Elder Gao Gongzhuo of the Talisman Sect, who had already reached the second level of the Eighth Heaven, it was of course not difficult for him to eliminate these big monsters at this time.

While he was killing an eighth-level demon, he looked up at the Hengduan Mountains.

The distance was too far, and Zhuo Baojie couldn't see the specific scenery in the mountains clearly for a moment.

But he could vaguely see a faint light streaking vertically across the sky above the snow-capped mountains of the Hengduan Mountains.

It is clearly visible even in daylight.

And, more than one.

Line after line of light streaked across the sky, each flashing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When the Snow Mountain Violent Ape, who was currently in the mountains, heard the story of the Golden Toad in the Tree Sea from his demon tribe, he was shocked and confused, but did not stay for long.

It quickly made a decisive decision and called a group of big monsters from the snowy plateau to quickly leave this place and return to the snowfield.

However, before they could really set off, a faint light flashed in the sky above and fell from the sky.

This time, the stream of light did not fall into the distance, but pointed directly at the snow-capped mountains in the Hengduan Mountains in the Ming Dynasty.

Directly targeting the Snow Mountain Violent Ape and other big snow monsters.

A warning sign emerged in the Snow Mountain Violent Ape's heart. The hair on its body seemed to stand on end, and its body, which was already as huge as a mountain, seemed to expand further.

As his body leaped horizontally and vertically, his explosive power and speed were astonishing, just like a human cultivator who had reached the ninth level of perfection in martial arts.

With this leap, it was as if he was traveling through the void, crossing thousands of rivers and mountains, trying to escape back to the snowy plateau.

As the Snow Mountain Violent Ape just moved, a flash of light appeared and fell to the ground.

The Snow Mountain Violent Ape only felt a sharp edge flying past his body.

As the evil spirit and aura of demons surged, a large amount of demon blood splashed out.

The giant ape was in great danger, but thanks to its incredible leaping speed, it avoided being split in half by the flowing light.

But the seemingly tiny streak of light in the air was sensed by the Snow Mountain Violent Ape when it approached the ground. The whistling wind and thunder intertwined, and the light fell to the ground with it, scraping across his body. Even though the sharp edge quietly brushed past his body, it still caused his flesh and blood to fly everywhere.

What made the Snow Mountain Violent Ape even more desperate was that more than one stream of light descended from his side.

On the Penglai Observation Deck, Lei Jun sat cross-legged with a calm expression.

In addition to the Arctic Sword aimed at the Golden Toad in the Sea of ​​Trees, the remaining four magic weapons, the Taiyi Poque Sword, the Zhoutian Sword, the Guangmo Sword, and the Hanhai Sword, were fired at the same time, all targeting the Snow Mountain Violent Ape.

The other party's cultivation strength is not only higher than that of the Golden Toad in the Tree Sea.

More importantly, the characteristics of this Snow Mountain Violent Ape are very similar to those of human martial arts masters. It has a strong sense of vigilance and can move very quickly.

The Yuanci flying sword is a sword that is used without regrets. After arriving in the human world, its landing point is basically fixed.

It is not difficult to hit the Golden Toad in the Forest with a single sword, but hitting the Snow Mountain Violent Ape may leave the opponent some room to rely on luck.

Therefore, compared to the Golden Toad in the Forest, Master Lei Tianshi paid more attention to the Snow Mountain Violent Ape.

After he had been constantly refining the swords during this period, after the North Pole Sword, the Zhoutian, Guangmo and Hanhai swords were also integrated with the mysterious artistic conception of the void.

So at this moment, four swords were fired in succession, directly penetrating the spatial boundary between Penglai and the Daming human world, cutting through the sky, and descending together among the snow-capped ridges of the Hengduan Mountains.

Four swords arrived at the same time, the sword tips were surging with wind and thunder, and the internal energy was condensed. Wherever they went, even if the sword tips were not pointing directly, they would cover a large area around them.

Even with the Snow Mountain Violent Ape's skill and speed, it was cut into a bloody mess by the raging waves caused by the two sword lights.

With the injury, that huge body was no longer as agile and nimble as before.

Then when another sword light fell from the sky, the Snow Mountain Violent Ape could no longer resist, and with the roar of thunder and fire, it was instantly split in half vertically from head to toe by the sword!

Four sword lights fell to the ground at the same time, and the originally uninhabited snow-capped mountains instantly disappeared.

For a moment, there was only a dazzling light.

There is no flying dust and no broken rocks.

It was like a series of snow-capped mountains, and someone had dug out a large area from the ground out of thin air, instantly turning the mountains into a deep valley basin.

Therefore, except for the Snow Mountain Violent Ape, a large number of Snow Plateau monsters that came here with him were all buried here, without even making a sound.

A little later, there were loud explosions and blazing flames and thunder that erupted from the deep valley, shocking all around.

At this moment, the entire Hengduan Mountains seemed to be shaking together, as if the end of the world was coming.

In the distance, Zhuo Baojie, who had dealt with those Nanzhao monsters and cleaned up the scene, began to walk slowly towards the explosion site.

Violent thunder, fire and heat waves swept across the four directions.

Zhuo Baojie waited until the situation calmed down a bit before he walked step by step into the sea of ​​fire and smoke.

At the bottom of the deep valley basin, the four magic weapons, Taiyi Poque Sword, Zhoutian Sword, Guangmo Sword and Hanhai Sword, were inserted diagonally into the valley in different directions.

After Zhuo Baojie checked around and saw no other great snowfield monsters, he saluted the four magic swords, put them away one by one, and left.

Lei Jun attacked twice, and the noise was too shocking.

There are special people in the Ming Dynasty who are gathering information in this area. They were previously discovered to have the Snow Mountain Violent Ape and the Tree Sea Golden Toad merge together, which made them even more nervous.

But then came the earth-shaking changes.

When they rushed over to check, there was no living thing at the scene.

Under the burning of thunder and fire, powerful demon kings such as the Snow Mountain Violent Ape and the Tree Sea Golden Toad were all reduced to nothing, making it difficult to discern the specific circumstances.

It was just that the destructive power that had such a huge impact on the surroundings made everyone in the Ming Dynasty feel terrified.

The thick evil aura that had previously seemed like a dark cloud covering Nanzhao was now completely swept away by the masculine thunder and fire.

Where is the Snow Mountain Violent Ape?
Where is the golden toad in the tree sea?
Do these big monsters have other plans and have moved the meeting place?
Or……

A guess emerged in the minds of everyone in the Ming Dynasty. It was the easiest to associate with the scene before them, but also the most surprising.

Two of the top overlords among the Nine Heavens Great Demons just lost their lives together?

Who could have done this?

"Let the capital know immediately!" someone shouted.

The news was immediately sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Emperor Han Zhining and Prime Minister Zhou Mingzhe could not wait for the relevant news.

In the capital, after Zhou Mingzhe heard the news that the Snow Mountain Violent Ape and the Tree Sea Golden Toad had joined together in the southwest, he calmed his mind and turned to look at Yuan Qingci, the leader of the Ming Shushan School.

Yuan Qingci remained calm: "Don't worry, Yuan Fu, Master Lei will take action personally."

Zhou Mingzhe: "Master Lei is going to go to the human world to eliminate the demons?"

Although he asked this question, he didn't believe it in his heart.

But this couldn't calm him down.

"Earlier, the Heavenly Master personally took action and killed the three demon kings, Sea King Chrysanthemum, North Sea Whale King, and Six-horned Golden Shark, who had been entrenched in the deep seas and oceans of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Each of them was comparable to a human cultivator at the Ninth Heaven Realm, especially Sea King Chrysanthemum. In our Ming Dynasty, there are only a few top demons who can be compared. But now they can no longer wreak havoc on the Tang Dynasty's sea borders and do evil."

Yuan Qingci said softly: "In recent years, the situation in the cultivation world of the Tang Dynasty has been relatively stable, and there are fewer conflicts among the cultivators of the human race. Instead, everyone can concentrate their strength to eliminate the four great monsters.

Before the Heavenly Master took action, the top monsters on the land of the Tang Dynasty had basically been exorcised. Only the three monsters, Sea King Chrysanthemum, and others were left. They hid in the deep sea and were good at escaping by using the sea, so they were difficult to exterminate.

So in the end, the Heavenly Master took action and made the final decision. From then on, there would be no top-notch monsters in the world of the Tang Dynasty. From now on, all fellow Taoists in the Tang Dynasty just need to inspect carefully and prevent the problem from happening again. "

Zhou Mingzhe heard this, his eyes sparkled and he remained silent.

Yuan Qingci continued, "Brother Zhenwu Guanmu and I, the poor Taoist, were able to completely put our minds at ease and return to Ming Dynasty only after the Heavenly Master eliminated the demon."

"The Snow Mountain Violent Ape and the Tree Sea Golden Toad have joined forces. Will Longhu Mountain intervene?" Zhou Mingzhe looked at the other party: "Now, are they going to kill the monster as a warning to others?"

Just as Yuan Qingci was about to answer, the entire Ming capital beneath his feet suddenly began to shake.

A large amount of brilliance and literary talent rises into the sky, interweaving to reveal a vast and majestic sea of ​​thick ink.

These thick inks seemed to form an even larger black city, suspended in mid-air, covering the already magnificent Ming capital.

Zhou Mingzhe's face changed, but he quickly returned to normal: "Sure enough, compared to the four great monsters and the common people, Longhu Mountain values ​​our dynasty's national destiny more. I wonder if Sect Leader Yuan knew about this in advance and is making up an excuse to deceive me, or if you and Mu Chunyang have also been deceived by Longhu Mountain?"

In the Ming Palace, Emperor Han Zhining had a serious expression on his face. He was writing furiously and then stamping the imperial edict with his seal.

As he began to write, the defensive measures in the capital of the Ming Dynasty were automatically deployed.

The huge Mo City covers all directions, solemn and solid.

Above the inky black city, golden light was flashing in all directions.

But the golden light seemed to be eroded by an invisible force and shattered again and again.

There were also signs of distortion and fragmentation on Mo City, as if it was under tremendous pressure.

However, due to their obstruction, the incoming invisible force also revealed its true appearance.

It was a mysterious and precious light that did not look very fierce, but was graceful and flexible.

The light from the precious source goes straight into the sky.

There is a bright mirror hanging high in the sky, which is so high that even Zhou Mingzhe and Han Zhining can hardly see clearly.

On the mirror, two magical talismans, one gold and one silver, were shining brightly.

They were Lei Jun's Shenxiao Pure Yang Magic Talisman and Lingxiao Pure Yin Magic Talisman.

The magical powers of the two pure yang and pure yin thunders were refined into the Jade Purity Zhoutian Treasure Mirror, and at this moment they were integrated and transformed into yin and yang precious light.

Under the shining light, it seems inconspicuous, but it is incredibly powerful.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty is the gathering place of the dragon veins of mountains and rivers, which is the result of years of accumulation of the Ming Dynasty's patriarchal laws and rituals.

The more Confucian classics monks accumulate sacrificial rituals, the more powerful they become.

The sacrificial rituals of Neo-Confucian monks are even more advanced in this regard.

In terms of the strength of defense alone, the Ming capital is superior to the Tang imperial capital Luoyang, the Han capital Chang'an, and the former capital of the Golden Khanate of the Song Dynasty.

But at this moment, illuminated by Lei Jun's Yin-Yang precious light, the golden light and the inky black city below were constantly infiltrated and broken.

It was not until Han Zhining's jade seal was stamped that all the Ming officials from Zhou Mingzhe onwards in the capital worked together, and only then did a more dazzling golden light and a more condensed black city stand out.

Looking down from the sky, it seemed as if the entire Ming world was shaken at this moment.

Spots of light continued to rise from the mountains and rivers of the Daming Dynasty.

It was as if there was a long dragon looming in the mountains and rivers of Daming, which had been sleeping before and was now waking up.

The giant dragon raised its head, and its direction was exactly in the capital. It was right above the imperial palace in the capital.

Under the flashing golden light, it condensed into a huge dragon head, roaring upwards.

The majestic city of Nongmo, which was even larger than before, was also flashing with golden light and continued to expand, carrying the dragon's long roar upward into the sky.

The influence of Yin Yang Youwu Baoguang on the defense ban of the Ming Dynasty capital was now curbed.

The people in the city below, as well as the people inside and outside the capital, were all looking at the shocking and wonderful scene above the capital in amazement.

In Penglai, Lei Jun on the observation deck was calm and watched everything quietly.

High in the sky above the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual power of the Jade Purity Zhoutian Magic Mirror began to condense further at this moment.

In addition to the Yin-Yang precious light condensed from the Pure Yang Immortal Thunder and the Pure Yin Immortal Thunder that continued to shine, more magical talismans began to emerge on the mirror and flashed with light.

The Chenyang Zhongtian Falu condensed the red-gold Tianchen True Fire.

The fire and earth magic calligraphy talismans condensed the emerald green Nine Abyss True Fire.

Under the harmony of yin and yang, there was a mutual exchange of what they had and what they needed. Suddenly, there was an existence like a burning star, falling from the sky and directly falling to the ground.

It hit the dragon head rising high in the sky above the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the towering Mo City.

In an instant, endless light and heat burst out over the capital.

The vast flames continued to spread in all directions.

The golden dragon head was knocked crooked and could no longer be raised. It could only barely radiate golden light and suppress the vast flames.

The black Mo City also resisted the spread of the flames.

But it seemed as if the endless flames would never be extinguished, continuously burning Mo City, causing cracks to gradually appear in Mo City.

However, it is precisely because of their existence that the thunder and fire will not harm the real Ming Dynasty capital below.

"Youyin has made a lot of preparations in the Ming Dynasty..." Lei Jun: "If they kill the Ming Emperor like this, Zheng Baiyu will get the advantage."

Having said that, we can't just let it go...

And as Lei Jun was chanting in the center of Penglai.

On the surface of the Jade Purity Zhoutian Magic Mirror high in the sky of Daming, new magical talismans suddenly appeared.

The Thunder Law Heavenly Calligraphy Talisman and the Xuanxiao Five Thunder Calligraphy Talisman.

The purple Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and the black Mysterious Sky Immortal Thunder were in harmony with each other, and at this moment, an extremely condensed and bright beam of light burst out, as if splitting the sky below into two and reaching the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The combination of Longying and Mocheng is currently trying their best to resist the attacks of Yinyang Wuji Xinghuang and Yinyang Youwu Baoguang.

At this time, the power was condensed and concentrated, and the Yin-Yang Divine Aurora with the strongest destructive power was shot down at a point, instantly piercing through the huge dragon head that was unable to distract itself!
As the Jade Purity Zhoutian Magic Mirror in the sky deflected, the bright light that spanned the heaven and earth suddenly became like a sharp blade, cutting through the golden dragon head shadow in the sky above the capital like a knife cutting tofu.

Affected by this, Mo City could no longer sustain itself.

The blazing flames from the Yin-Yang Infinite Star instantly burned and dissolved the magical restrictions formed by thick ink.

Whether it was Emperor Han Zhining in the palace, or Zhou Mingzhe and other Ming officials, they were all shocked at this moment.

Lei Jun's Yin and Yang, with or without precious light, rolled up again.

The light and haze above the palace suddenly dissipated.

In the distance, outside the capital, there was a flash of light, flying into the city, at a speed so fast that it was almost imperceptible to ordinary people.

But someone in the palace stood up and tried to block the sword light.

However, the sword light varied in speed and only flashed in the air. In a moment of contact, the person who tried to block it fell to the side.

There was an old man with a white face and no beard on the side of Emperor Han Zhining, guarding him.

But it was Qian Ping, the eunuch who held the seal of the Imperial Household Department and was the most skilled man in the Ming court.

Although he was just a eunuch, his literary talent impressed everyone, and he was actually a great scholar who could pacify the world.

The person who tried to block the flying light just now was also a white-faced, beardless man. He was Liu Shuo, the number one martial arts master in the palace and the eunuch in charge of the Ming court's Imperial Stables.

Thanks to the deliberate efforts of Zhou Mingzhe, Zeng Kui, Chao Feng and others, there are no longer any ninth-level martial arts masters in the outer court.

The only Martial Saint in the Ming Dynasty is Liu Shuo.

Qian Ping and he, one a civil official and one a military official, were both close confidants of Emperor Ming Huang Han Zhining, and were his right-hand men in balancing the government and the country.

Although Liu Shuo was not a perfect human immortal who had reached the ninth level of martial arts, he was very powerful. However, at this moment, he was repelled by the stream of light that seemed like a long river of time at the first sight.

Both Han Zhining and Qian Ping were shocked when they saw this.

But the precious light of Yin and Yang from Lei Jun fell down, making them avoid it as much as possible.

And the flow of time, which seems like a long river of time, seems slow but is actually fast and arrives in a flash.

A Taoist priest dressed in cloth and hemp shoes, similar to Yuan Dynasty celadon, emerged from the long river of time.

He looks like a young man, but his eyes are indifferent and full of vicissitudes. He holds a sword in his hand, and the sword shines like water.

"...Loose immortals?!" Liu Shuo, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Administration of the Ming Dynasty, snorted, "A Shushan sword cultivator who is far more powerful than Han Qingtao!"

Some intelligence he had collected previously had already given him an idea of ​​who the visitor was.

Shen Xi, the leader of the Shushan Sect in the Southern Jin Dynasty and a great swordsman who has reached the perfect state of Five Qis to Immortality.

Not to mention that his cultivation is even higher than Han Qingtao in the past.

Even if both of them are at the same realm, Shen Xi is still one step ahead.

After he appeared, he didn't say much. As his sword flashed, he broke through one sacrificial ritual after another.

Yuan Qingci also turned into a stream of light and rushed over. He made a spell with his hands, stood in front of his chest, and shouted in a low voice: "Command!"

All of a sudden, the earth shook, and the magic weapon that had lost the restraint and suppression of the sacrificial rituals suddenly broke out of the ground.

One is like white clouds floating in the air, with the sound of a bell curling in the white clouds, graceful and extraordinary. It is the treasure of the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty, the Xianxiao Bell.

On the other side, there were golden and silver lights intertwined, as if the sun and the moon were rising together.

In the center of the light, there is a treasure pot guarded by the colors of yin and yang. It is the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot, which was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty Shushan Sect after the catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty and one of the founding treasures of Shushan.

"I am an unworthy disciple and feel ashamed of my master." Yuan Qingci bowed to the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot, and put away the treasure pot and the Xianxiao Bell together.

Shen Xi next to him also bowed to the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot.

At the same time, the sword light of his life-saving magic weapon, the Chaoxi Sword, shone, and cut off a large number of ink characters transformed from Confucian etiquette.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingzhe, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, who had come after them, had a gloomy face.

No matter Mu Chunyang, Yuan Qingci, or even Abbot Guangshu of Daming Bodhi Temple, they would be suppressed to a certain extent and find it difficult to show their true level when faced with the method of manifestation of the clan law and ritual system of Daming Neo-Confucianism.

Even if Mu Chunyang had already perfected the fifth level of the Taoist Danding School's Five Qis Converging to the Origin, it would still be the same.

But the Shen Xi in front of him was not like that.

He did not grow up in the environment of Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucianism, patriarchal system and rituals.

It is true that Mu Chunyang, Chu Kun, Zhang Haipeng and others are still staying in the Bashu area.

But Shen Xi quietly came near the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

That is to say...

From the very beginning, they were prepared to do so!
"The Heavenly Master never intended to kill the monster as a warning to others."

Yuan Qingci sighed and looked at Zhou Mingzhe: "The Heavenly Master ordered us to act like this. As for the big monsters, if there are any blind people who intend to take advantage of the situation, he will take care of them.

My previous advice was actually because I was born in the Ming Dynasty and I didn’t want to see war.”

After saying this, Yuan Qingci raised his head to the sky above and bowed from afar: "The Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot and the Xianxiao Bell have finally been able to return to Shushan. The Heavenly Master's help will be unforgettable to everyone in Shushan."

Shen Xi also bowed like a Taoist, and then his immortal soul merged with the Chaoxi Sword. The sword light was like a long river of time, sweeping up Yuan Qingci, who had already collected the magic weapon, and flew away in an instant, flying out of the capital city.

Han Zhining, Zhou Mingzhe, Qian Ping, Liu Shuo and others looked up at the sky with fear and no longer dared to act rashly.

"The great monster from the southwest?" Emperor Han Zhining had a blank expression on his face and moved his gaze.

Zhou Mingzhe remained silent.

Lei Jun broke through the defensive restrictions of the Ming Dynasty capital.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty fell today.

In this situation, how could he spare some time to personally deal with the Snow Mountain Violent Ape and the Tree Sea Golden Toad that were ready to make a move in the southwest?

It is clear from Yuan Qingci's words that he believes Lei Jun can take care of both sides at the same time.

Although Lei Jun is an immortal, can he do it?
Or……

He doesn't enter the human world, but he can attack all parts of the human world at the same time?
Are the Ming capital and the southwestern border area of ​​Nanzhao both within his attack range?

Han Zhining and Zhou Mingzhe were both horrified when this thought occurred to them.

"Your Majesty, I have ordered people to find out the news about Nanzhao as soon as possible and report back as soon as possible." Zhou Mingzhe said.

Emperor Ming Han Zhining glanced around.

Lei Jun, Shen Xi and Yuan Qingci acted with discretion, and the densely populated capital of the real Ming Dynasty was not seriously damaged, but the defensive prohibitions were completely destroyed.

In the Ming capital, where many masters including Han Zhining, Zhou Mingzhe, Zeng Kui, Chao Feng, Sima Cheng, Qian Ping, and Liu Shuo were present, Shen Xi and Yuan Qingci came and went freely, and even robbed the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot and the Xianxiao Bell!
"What a loss of sovereignty and humiliation to the country!"

Han Zhining spoke each word with emphasis: "This is why the Ming Dynasty must have immortals!"

Later in the evening, the Southwest Express arrived.

Hearing that big monsters like the Snow Mountain Violent Ape and the Tree Sea Golden Toad might have been killed, and comparing the time, it was almost the same time when the capital was attacked, the emperor and his ministers of the Ming Dynasty fell silent.

Emperor Han Zhining felt the turbulence of the mountains, rivers and the earth, and for a moment he felt that the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty's national destiny was weaker than ever before.

It’s not just because Lei Jun had just cut off the dragon’s head.

Moreover, because the great battle in the sky was clearly displayed to the subjects inside and outside the capital, the news spread rapidly as if it had wings.

The already shaken public morale was further damaged.

The people's will and the country's destiny are one and two, two and one, and they influence each other.

The White Lotus Sect has finally achieved the unsuccessful results after years of hard work.

The Ming Dynasty's destiny was shaken.

Han Zhining's path to becoming a saint, which was already dim, seemed to have turned into a reflection in the water at this moment.

As soon as he thought of this, the injuries caused by the previous qi could no longer be suppressed.

The Ming Emperor stood in the ruined palace, his body swaying again.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain as if his soul was torn apart, the world around him was spinning, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Amid the exclamations of the people around him, Emperor Ming Han Zhining fell backwards.
