Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

No, there's no escaping it!

Seeing the thorns rushing towards her, Bai Shui'er gritted her teeth. It seemed she had no choice but to use that trick...

She closed her eyes tightly, gathering all her spiritual energy into her hands, gripping the spear tightly. Just as the thorns were about to grab her, she opened her eyes.

"burst!"

A surge of violent spiritual energy erupted from Bai Shui'er's body, creating a violent explosion centered on her. The massive shockwave leveled everything within a hundred meters.

The ground was littered with broken branches and fragments of hell thorns. After the explosion subsided, Bai Shui'er coughed, stepped out of the smoke and dust, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

This move not only transforms a portion of her spiritual power into violent spiritual power, but also leaves enough spiritual power to resist the invasion of this violent spiritual power. It can be said that it injures the enemy a thousand times while damaging oneself eight hundred times.

I definitely need to work on improving this move when I get back; it's too taxing...

Bai Shui'er now only wants to leave the Forest of the Void God. She has already exhausted most of her spiritual power and needs to leave here as soon as possible!

"That's incredibly powerful!"

A hand emerged from the ground, and Gila shook off the soil that had buried her, got up, and dusted herself off.

"If I hadn't run fast, I would have suffered a lot..."

Although it is still fire-attribute spiritual power, this violent spiritual power is like poisoned food; if Salamander were to consume it, he would definitely feel unwell.

"I don't know why you don't summon your guardian spirit, but that doesn't matter anymore!"

"Salamander!"

Salamander, located to Gila's right, instantly extended its neck and opened its blood-red maw to bite Bai Shui'er.

Bai Shui'er used her remaining spiritual power to condense a long spear in front of her. With a "bang", the huge impact lifted up the gray stones on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

As the smoke cleared, Huangfu Longdou, dressed as Gui Fu Santong, easily grabbed Salamanda's head with one hand. He glanced back at Bai Shui'er behind him.

"Little girl, you seem to be in trouble!"

Once she came to her senses, Bai Shui'er quickly recognized Huangfu Longdou, "You are... Gui Fu Santong?"

"Ok?"

Huangfu Longdou feigned surprise, "You know me?"

"Brother Moxuan showed me your portrait. He said you are the one who searches for high-quality spirit hosts in the human world for the Spirit Masters!"

"Yes, he's right!"

Unlike the other two, Gila's expression was solemn. As the guardian of the Forest of the Sky God, she hadn't even noticed that this person had entered the Forest of the Sky God!

Moreover, this person easily grabbed Salamander with one hand, and Gila couldn't even pull Salamander back, which shows that the strength of the person in front of him is definitely no less than his!

Seemingly noticing the struggle of the Salamander in his hand, Huangfu Longdou turned around, glanced at it, and began to tighten his grip on its hand.

With a cracking sound, blood gushed from Salamander's eyes and mouth. It tried to open its mouth to beg Gila for help, but its mouth was tightly clenched and it couldn't open it at all...

"Salamander!"

Gila panicked and hurriedly deactivated the special fusion, allowing Salamander to escape from Huangfu Longdou's grasp. Salamander then fled without looking back.

He knew he was no match for Huangfu Longdou. Huangfu Longdou could easily capture his guardian spirit, while he couldn't even sense his presence. What was the point of fighting him?

Huangfu Longdou never intended to kill Gila, so he let him escape...

"Ghost Fu Santong, thank you for saving me!"

Bai Shui'er hurriedly thanked Huangfu Longdou, because if it weren't for his help, she might have perished here...

"You're welcome, but I'm quite curious, what are you doing in such a dangerous place, a young girl like you?"

Bai Shui'er's face darkened. "I came to Luhua Ancient Tower with Brother Mo Xuan, but we got separated on the way!"

"So I was thinking, could I go to Luhua Ancient Tower first? Brother Moxuan will definitely come too, so I'll wait for him there..."

"I see..."

Huangfu Longdou nodded thoughtfully. "We're going the same way anyway, why don't you come with me?"

"Really? Thank you so much!"

"It's nothing, let's go..."

……

the other side,

Li Moxuan and Yuan Xichen were sitting on the back of a giant tortoise, speeding towards the direction of the Forest of the Void God.

"A turtle can run so fast..."

Yuan Xichen glanced at the group of evil spirits chasing after the two of them, then turned around and sat down next to Li Moxuan, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed.

Thanks to Yuan Tiangang's reminder, he now knew Li Moxuan's identity. He never expected that this person would actually be a descendant of the Li Tang royal family...

After a long silence, Yuan Xichen couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why did you even think about breaking the formation? Couldn't you just walk out through the barrier's exit?"

Li Moxuan, prompted by Li Jing, realized that Yuan Xichen beside him was the spirit medium of Yuan Tiangang, the Grand Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty, so he was quite polite.

"You've placed the flaws in the formation in such an obvious place, who would believe it? Besides, when a normal person discovers a formation, their first thought would be to break it!"

"That's true... a normal person shouldn't be able to detect this formation of mine..."

Chapter 26: Protecting Those You Want to Protect

"So, why didn't you run away after encountering the illusion? Instead, you fought with it?"

"..."

"How powerful was the illusion you encountered? Why did the formation's energy deplete so quickly?"

"..."

"you……"

Has no one ever told you that you talk too much?

Li Moxuan couldn't hold back any longer. He dressed up like a cool and aloof male god, but turned out to be a chatterbox. Who could stand that?

"Everyone around me is dead, who's going to talk to me?"

Yuan Xichen stretched and said nonchalantly, "You'll probably be dead soon too!"

"So I want to take advantage of the fact that you're still alive to see what flaws my formation has, and then I can improve it when I get back, so that no more fools will wander in and wait for me to rescue them..."

Li Moxuan's face darkened. He felt that Yuan Xichen was cursing him. He turned his head away and said, "Don't worry, I won't die even if you die!"

"That's not necessarily true..."

Yuan Xichen pointed to the white ribbon covering her eyes, "Do you know why I'm wearing this?"

"Because you're blind!"

Yuan Xichen paused, and his face visibly darkened. This wasn't a question; this guy was clearly insulting him!

Forget it, he'll be a dead man soon enough, I can't bother arguing with him...

Yuan Xichen took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Of course I'm not blind. I covered my eyes because these eyes of mine can see other people's future!"

"I've seen the futures of many people around me die, and I've tried to change it, but no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, they still die in the face of their destiny, and their deaths are far more gruesome than I've ever witnessed..."

He sat on the back of the little turtle, supporting himself with his hands, and looked up at the boundless starry sky.

“Since then, I have kept my eyes closed. I respect the fate of others, and even if I know they will die, I will only offer a verbal warning!”

"Perhaps dying because of meeting me is the fate of those people..."

"You're quite optimistic..."

"I can't be pessimistic! Life has to go on. There are still so many spirits in Tiansuan Street who need my protection. Looking gloomy all day long is useless except for disgusting myself."

Li Moxuan looked in the direction he was looking and asked quietly, "Can you see the stars in the sky?"

"I can't see, but it feels more comfortable to tilt my head back..."

"..."

Li Moxuan turned around. If he hadn't been certain that Yuan Xichen was a genuine spirit possessor, he might have thought that this guy was a spirit transformed from a supreme divine pearl.

The Supreme Divine Pearl can glimpse the future, and so can Yuan Xichen. The Supreme Divine Pearl cannot change the future it sees, otherwise it would become a useless pearl. And Yuan Xichen cannot change the predetermined future either...

To be more precise, it's because Yuan Xichen hasn't found a way to change the future; otherwise, the ability of his eyes would be completely useless.

However, even if a method is found, the cost will likely be no less than that of the Supreme Divine Pearl...

Of course, once Li Moxuan obtains the replica of the Supreme Divine Pearl, he should also have a chance to change the future without having to pay any price.

"arrive!"

As the little turtle stopped in front of the Forest of the Void God, Li Moxuan and Yuan Xichen jumped down from it.

Has Shui'er arrived at the Forest of the Void Gods so quickly?

Li Moxuan's brows suddenly furrowed. He sensed Shui'er's presence, and not only that, it seemed there were other people's presences as well...

Could it be that we've run into the forest ranger Gila?

"The girl you're looking for seems to have been in a fight..."

Yuan Xichen sensed the chaotic atmosphere carried on the wind. "But don't worry, she should be alright..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Moxuan rushed into the Forest of the Void God, heading towards the direction of the aura he had sensed.

Yuan Xichen hesitated for a moment, then took a step and followed. After all, the two of them had gotten lost because of his Heavenly Calculation Maze.

I'll at least wait until I've found the person for Li Moxuan before leaving...

The Forest of the Gods, a lake in the forest.

Bai Shui'er, who had regained some of her spiritual power, sat on a large rock. Huangfu Longdou, who was sitting opposite her, added a few pieces of firewood to the fire in front of him and turned to look at the lake in the forest.

"The Luhua Ancient Tower appears once every five years. It is said that this is the location where the Luhua Ancient Tower appears, but it's not its time to appear yet..."

Bai Shui'er nodded and thanked him again, "Gui Fu Santong, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for your help, I might have died here!"

At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder, was someone so powerful just a gofer in the Spirit Realm?

"It was nothing, don't worry about it!"
