Black Moon Bay City is the capital of Black Moon Province, one of the three major provinces in the northeast of the empire. This city is close to Black Moon Bay, and beyond it is the dark abyss outer sea, which is extinct outside the empire.
Black Moon Bay City is connected to three major water systems and directly borders the Luobei Empire. Its strategic location is extremely important. In the city, there is a winding river passing through the city and becoming an important lifeline in the city. The river rushes eastward and pours into the vast ocean.
As the sun sets, the golden afterglow fills the city, and a soft glow shines on the horizon. In the northeast of the city, the huge palace near the beach is covered with golden light. The setting sun adds a tranquil color to the palace, and everything seems to be peaceful as time goes by.
At this time, in the palace, groups of soldiers wearing purple and gold armor were patrolling everywhere. Due to the emperor's visit, the Praetorian Guards have taken over the defense of the city. Therefore, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards also came to Black Moon Bay City. He was a descendant of the royal family, and his own strength was also excellent, reaching the five-day realm.
"Your Majesty, all the elite of the Imperial Guard are in place, just waiting for your Majesty's plan to be launched!" In the main hall of the palace, a middle-aged man wearing gold armor, with a masculine look on his brows, is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard. At this time, he knelt down on one knee and reported to the man standing with his hands behind his back.
"Yes." The superior man nodded slightly. There was no emotion or joy on his face. He looked into the distance and said calmly: "This dark abyss outside the sea has been bothering me for many years. It has always been... It’s a big problem..."
"Your Majesty, during this visit, no danger was found. How about the Northeast Army Group be mobilized and directly clear the sea outside the Dark Abyss!" the commander of the Imperial Guard said sonorously.
"No." The superior shook his head, "The late emperor once gathered four major ministers and two major armies to march to the outer sea of Dark Abyss. In the end, three of the four ministers died, and more than half of the military strength was lost before retreating to Tianyun."
"We were able to return successfully this time just because we did not go deep into the sea outside the Dark Abyss and did not encounter danger."
"This..." The commander's body was obviously shaken, and there was some disbelief in his eyes. The four major offerings? Two major armies? Tian Xun actually once deployed such a huge force against the sea outside the Dark Abyss? Not to mention how powerful the four major offerings are, just two armies are enough to level an entire sea area!
"Your Majesty, what is there in the dark sea outside the abyss..."
"There are things that neither you nor I can touch." The superior man said softly.
After speaking, he paused, waved his hand, and said: "You go down first, tonight, it is destined not to be peaceful. By the way, pay attention to the safety of those two little guys."
"I accept your order!" the commander said solemnly, then stood up and quickly left the main hall.
At the main entrance of the palace, there are two young girls of twelve or thirteen years old. One of them is squatting and seems to be tinkering with something. The other girl in green is standing aside with an extremely indifferent expression, quietly watching the young man's hands flying. of carving knife.
"Aren't you afraid of being punished when you set up your formation here?" A moment later, the girl's sweet voice sounded like a lark, with a hint of curiosity in her words.
"I'm not setting up some killing array. Besides, Your Majesty knows it." The young man turned back and said with a smile. He has a pair of jewel-like black eyes and long eyelashes that make girls feel jealous. His facial features look very sunny and handsome, with a childish look unique to a child.
When the commander-in-chief who was passing by heard this, his head was filled with black lines. This was the emperor's palace. If someone else was setting up a formation here, he would have died immediately. However, His Majesty indulged these two little guys.
"These two little guys, ugh..." The commander sighed, shook his head slightly, turned and left. These two are the direct descendants from the four major families in the imperial capital. They follow the emperor to practice near the sea outside the dark abyss this time, so you have to be optimistic.
"As long as you don't cause anything like an explosion, have you forgotten that we were near the sea outside the Dark Abyss last time?" The girl in green thought of something, a smile flashed across her face, but deep in her eyes, there was a slight haze. Soon, the girl regained her indifferent expression and said. She wore a green skirt without too many patterns, only some delicate patterns on the skirt. And her appearance makes all flowers eclipse, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the beauty of a country.
Three thousand blue silk hairs are tied randomly with a few pink and blue silk ribbons, hanging down to the unbearable waist. The smooth forehead, blue eyes, and big eyes have slender eyelashes. The bridge of the nose is slightly straight and pink. Her little red lips make people marvel at the magic of the Creator. She is such a beautiful girl.
"Fang Li, are you sure?" After the commander walked away, the girl's expression turned serious and she asked.
Fang Li blinked his jewel-like black eyes and said, "The warning signs I saw from grandpa's Spirit Bead are probably true."
The girl nodded slightly, said nothing, and stood quietly aside, watching Fang Li carve the lines.
Fang Li had a small carving knife in his hand. The handle was inlaid with a crystal blue gem. The blade was extremely sharp, constantly carving out mysterious lines, exuding little blue halos.
This halo is Yuanli, one of the foundations of this world. The world is filled with the energy of heaven and earth, which are divided into multiple attributes according to their own properties. People can absorb the energy of heaven and earth to practice. After absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, it has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, but only when the Yuan core is condensed, the way of cultivation can be regarded as entering the door, because this Yuan core is the step into the three mortal realms. Foundation.
And the lines carved by the young man are exactly one of the most mysterious things in this world - formations. The levels of formations are divided according to the level of spiritual consciousness. Advanced formations have the ability to destroy the heaven and the earth.
What he depicts is an extremely simple first-level formation, the police formation. This formation has no offensive and defensive capabilities. It is mainly used to detect people's entry and exit. Judging from the size depicted by Fang Li, it may be able to cover the entire palace.
Gradually, Fang Li's hand holding the carving knife started to shake a little, and his forehead was dripping with sweat. With his Yuan Power at the third level of the Mortal Spiritual Realm, it seemed a little difficult to support the carving of the police formation. Things also consume a huge amount of spiritual power. But true formation masters do not need to use a carving knife. They can quickly lay out formations with their powerful spiritual consciousness, and the speed is naturally many times faster.
A burst of pure Yuan Power suddenly poured into his body. It turned out that the girl on the side saw that his Yuan Power was not enough, so she put a pair of small hands on his back, filtered her own Yuan Power into attribute-free and injected it into his body.
"You continue." The girl's pleasant voice sounded. Fang Li held the carving knife and continued to carve. As the sun sets, the girl seems to be leaning on the boy, while the boy concentrates on sculpting the formation. Around them, the sea of flowers and butterflies are dancing, like a picture scroll.
A moment later, as the last light seal took shape, blue halos formed an irregular pattern, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth on their own. Fang Li fiddled with it a few more times, and the blue halos disappeared.
"Have you turned off the formation?" the girl asked after seeing the blue halo disappear.
Fang Li pointed to the sky and said, "No, look." There was a thin white light curtain above the sky, which was almost transparent. The girl could only see it clearly by using her Yuan Power.
"Just wait, the moon will rise in more than an hour." Fang Li said, looking at the setting sun in the west and the sky full of afterglow.
"Yes." The girl nodded lightly, then her long eyelashes fluttered, her big eyes looked at Fang Li, and she said softly: "By the way, Fang Li, we were near the sea outside Dark Abyss that day, are you okay?"
"Ah?" Fang Li shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just had a little headache. I'm fine now."
"Well, be careful." The girl gently asked. But the scene of that day was recalled in my mind again.
That day, the fleet had approached the waters outside the Dark Abyss, and the clear dividing line could be seen from the deck. On one side, the sun is shining brightly, on the other side, there are dark clouds, wind and rain; on one side, the sea water is clear, and on the other side, the sea water is dark, as if it has been dyed with ink.
As she continued to approach the dividing line, she could feel that something seemed to be heating up inside her body. When she closed her eyes, she seemed to hear someone's cry. But before she could feel it carefully, an exclamation from beside her interrupted her thoughts.
That was Fang Li's cry when he suddenly had a splitting headache.
············
In the main hall of the palace, the man looked towards the sky. With his eyesight, he could see the light curtain. There was a look of approval in his eyes: "This little guy is really a talent."
"I just don't know what will happen tonight." The man murmured, then turned into a purple light and disappeared into the hall.
As the sun slowly sets in the west, and when the last ray of sunlight dissipates on the horizon, a crescent moon rises quietly. The silver-white moon casts bunches of pale moonlight, with a hint of coldness.
Faintly, little black lines seemed to appear on the moon. Those black lines formed a terrifying smile. It seemed like a devil's face, staring at this palace.
Under the moonlight, lights are still burning everywhere in the palace, and people can be vaguely seen coming and going, some are meditating, some are playing, and some are waiting for something...
The thin light curtain of the police formation enveloped the entire palace and became completely transparent. Only Fang Li, who was setting up the formation, could feel its existence. Anyone who wants to forcefully break into the palace will be noticed by Fang Li.
Nearly half of the night passed in the blink of an eye, and the moonlight was still as pale as before. The lights in the palace began to go out one after another, and only the torches in the hands of the patrolling soldiers shone brightly.
"Why aren't you here yet?" The girl stood under the eaves, opened her green eyes, looked at the young man who had closed his eyes and asked.
"Shh——!" Fang Li did not open his eyes, but put his finger on his lips and made a silent gesture.
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, extremely distant but very weak, but the girl still heard it and immediately became nervous. The wind energy in her little hands was concentrated, and a pair of green eyes looked around vigilantly.
Fang Li suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the sky with a pair of black eyes, a look of uncertainty on his face.
"Quick! Send the signal! Yin Yun, send the signal quickly!" Fang Li said immediately after squinting for a few seconds.
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately launched a metal ball into the air, and brilliant red fireworks bloomed over the palace.
"Damn, this man has such a keen sense of spirituality. Even though I broke this small formation like this, I was still discovered." Several people were suspended in the night sky, as if they had blended into the world, without the slightest breath coming out.
"It doesn't matter, the entire Black Moon Bay is shrouded in the Tide Enchanting Barrier. The show is about to begin." One person chuckled and clapped his hands.
Suddenly, there was a wave of turmoil in the whole world, and the black lines on the crescent moon spread quickly, and the silver moon turned into a black moon! The whole world suddenly darkened. On the beach, the receding tide suddenly rose. As the tide rose, blurry black shadows appeared in the sea water and surged towards the palace.
With the arrival of the black moon, black shadows invaded from outside the palace into the palace. Some even directly smashed the palace walls and killed everyone on sight. The patrolling soldiers immediately fought with the black shadow, and the bloody smell began to spread.
"Can you change the celestial phenomena? This is a strong person in the heavenly realm! Let's go!" Yin Yun saw Hei Yue, her expression changed, she pulled Fang Li and immediately ran towards the palace.
"The Imperial Guards are dispatched! Follow me to meet the enemy!" A loud shout suddenly resounded through the palace, and the Imperial Guards who were secretly preparing to attack immediately drew their swords and charged towards the invading enemy.
At the same time, a man wearing golden armor slowly rose into the air, pulled out the saber from his waist, pointed the blade at the black moon, snorted coldly, and a layer of golden ripples quietly spread out, and a small part of the black moon reappeared. The silvery moonlight shone down in beams of soft moonlight.
"Five Heavens Realm? Yan Kui, go ahead." Among the several figures suspended in the air, one shot out towards the Commander-in-Chief, and a huge black scythe appeared out of the sky and cut straight towards the Commander-in-Chief.
The commander-in-chief snorted coldly, slashed with the long sword, and struck with the black scythe, and a huge shock wave exploded over the palace. Then he flapped his golden wings behind his back and pursued the black scythe.
"The person who attacked the palace is so strong." Yin Yun had a solemn look on her face. She and Fang Li stood outside a magnificent palace. Unknowingly, the two of them arrived outside the main palace.
However, at this time, there was no one in the main hall. The emperor who was supposed to rest here has disappeared.
"What are they?" Fang Li's pupils suddenly opened wide, and several water arrows condensed in his hand, but they were not fired.
Outside the main hall, many vague black shadows suddenly appeared, exuding the stench of evil people. As soon as the black shadows appeared, soul-stirring whispers sounded around them, and the black shadows were moving towards the location of the two of them. Come.
"Black Moon Tide?" After all, Yin Yun was well-informed and reacted. She cut out several wind blades with her backhand and landed on the black shadow, but it just shook it.
"It seems that we can only use physical attacks." A green sword appeared in her hand, and the cold sword energy instantly pierced a black shadow.
The same goes for Fang Li on the other side. After discovering that Yuanli's attack seemed useless, a snow-white double-pointed spear appeared in his hand, one for each shot.
But the black shadow seemed to be endless. They killed one, and two more appeared in the blink of an eye. They couldn't kill them all. The two could only rely on their exquisite swordsmanship and excellent marksmanship to temporarily resist.
"Yinyun, be careful!" Fang Li suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow forming behind Yinyun from the corner of his eye. He threw a gun and directly pierced the black shadow. However, he was hit by several black shadows and appeared on his body. There were bloodstains.
Yin Yun was naturally shocked, and sword energy swept out, clearing a large area of darkness, and then picked up Fang Li's spear and threw it to him.
The two fought fiercely for nearly a quarter of an hour, but more and more black shadows came in, and in the end they came like a tide. Both of them were panting, and there was not much energy left in their bodies.
After all, the two of them were only at the third level of the Mortal Spirit Realm and did not have much Yuanli. Facing such a strange enemy, they naturally could not completely kill them.
"Fang Li, you have to get out of here!" After Yin Yun cut off a black tide with another sword, she cut off most of the pillars in front of the hall with one sword, jumped up and shouted towards Fang Li.
Fang Li naturally heard her voice, and while dealing with the black tide, he moved there, jumped on the pillar, and made a few more light jumps to reach the roof of the hall.
Seeing that they could not pursue him, the black shadow soon flooded the entire hall like a tide, and spread towards the entire palace. Throughout the palace, there were constant sounds of fighting and shouting, and the smell of blood was everywhere. It seemed like a hell on earth at this moment.
boom!
A loud noise suddenly sounded, and the commander was directly chopped down by the black scythe, hitting the palace, causing bursts of dust to fly.
"What should we do? The commander-in-chief has been defeated." Yin Yun asked with a look of panic in her eyes.
"The only thing we can do now is escape, but this place has been shrouded by another barrier. Every move we make is under the surveillance of others. We must break the barrier." Fang Li cast his black eyes into the air and glanced. A layer of black light is covering the entire Black Moon Bay.
"What two interesting little guys, I'll go meet them." The man in black who activated the barrier before glanced around the palace, noticed them, laughed strangely, and flew down from the sky, quietly Appeared next to the two of them.
"At the age of eleven, they have already reached the peak of the mortal spirit realm. These two little guys have extremely outstanding talents. It's a pity that the more talented they are, the more they have to be killed..."
"If these two people are not eliminated, there will be a big problem in the future." He muttered in his heart, and then slapped the two of them with a palm. This palm carries extremely strong force. If it hits, the two of them will definitely die on the spot.
But when his palm was still an inch away from the two of them, a layer of blue elemental light shield was activated, blocking his palm. Fang Li and Yinyun turned around immediately, and they just realized that there was someone else next to them!
"Huh?" The man looked a little surprised, and then injected his energy into a palm and slapped it. Under the horrified eyes of Fang Li and Yin Yun, he directly smashed the light shield and sent the two of them flying away.
The two of them fell heavily to the ground, and bursts of pain suddenly shot through their bodies. Although most of the man's strength was neutralized by the light shield, the rest was still difficult for them to resist. After all, it was an attack from a powerful person in the Heaven Realm, spanning two realms.
"Ahem." There was some blood on the corner of Fang Li's mouth. He coughed twice, endured the severe pain and stood up. He pulled Yin Yun to his side and asked, "How are you?" Yin Yun was closest to the person just now. , she received the greatest force.
"You can't die yet." Yin Yun said very weakly, her face was quite pale, and there were blood stains on the corners of her mouth.
The man in black looked at the broken jade pendant on Fang Li's waist, raised his eyebrows, and said: "It's surprising that these two little things actually have such things on them. They must be children of some aristocratic family, right? If so, it would be even more... Gotta die.”
"Who are you?" Fang Li protected Yin Yun behind him and stared at the man without any sign of weakness.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that you are going to die." The man in black chuckled and raised his palm again. The next blow must be a fatal blow!
Fang Li's black eyes rolled. They couldn't compete with the strength of the person in front of them, so they had to find a way, but what other way could they do? The jade pendant in his hand was broken. Logically speaking, grandpa should have sensed it, but grandpa had previously sent a message saying that tonight, he was blocked by a mysterious strong man and could not come!
"I have a way to keep you alive. I wonder if you are interested?" the man in black said suddenly.
Fang Li was stunned for a moment, with alert eyes, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"You two will lead the way for me and find the secret passage in this palace. I will let you two go. How about it?" the man in black asked.
"Do you think it's possible?" Fang Li sneered. If he really leads someone out to exchange his life today, then in the future, there will always be a knot in his heart, and the path of cultivation will inevitably be difficult.
When Yin Yun heard his words, she nodded slightly, but the palm she received was the strongest. She was so weak now that she didn't even have the strength to speak.
"In that case, then go and die!" The man in black no longer hesitated and slapped Fang Li on the head with his palm! Another palm was grabbed at Yin Yun.
Seeing this, Fang Li held a spear in front of Yin Yun. He couldn't retreat. Behind him was Yin Yun, so he couldn't retreat. He involuntarily tightened his grip on the spear, closed his eyes and waited for the palm to fall.
Yin Yun stared blankly at Fang Li in front of him, tears falling from her pretty face, "No! Leave quickly!" She kept shouting in her heart, but to no avail.
boom!
Fang Li's body was blown away like a broken sack, and he fell far away. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Yin Yun looked at Fang Li, whose life or death was uncertain in the distance, and was completely stunned. Her mood seemed to fluctuate a little? At this moment, she was in a state of confusion.
You, I really don’t want others to die for me anymore. Fang Li, why do you have to block it for me? How can I repay your love?
"Why...why???" Her body trembled slightly, and a faint cyan light pattern appeared on her forehead, as if something wanted to break out of the seal.
"Hehe!" The man in black laughed strangely, "A boy in the Mortal Realm wants to stop me?" He stretched out his hand to grab Yinyun. However, when he caught her halfway, he suddenly stopped, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly backed away.
It was a liquid-like azure blue trident that suddenly appeared out of the sky. What seemed to be compressed on the trident was an ocean. The terrifying energy fluctuated like an abyss and a prison, and stabbed straight at the man in black, no matter how he avoided it. , were directly pierced, and the body was immediately exploded into countless pieces.
At the same time, a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped Black Moon Bay, and the blue power descended from the sea, directly shattering the barrier! The countless black shadows made shrieking sounds and quickly disappeared one by one.
The vast power surged between heaven and earth. At this moment, the whole world seemed to tremble slightly. The terrifying aura immediately locked onto the people in the air.
"Is this a saint? Where did the saint come from? We obviously have spies watching over the imperial capital!" Several figures suspended in the air suddenly became chaotic.
"The second brother is dead and the barrier is broken. Let's go! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave!" The jade pendant in the hand of a man in black suddenly broke. His expression changed and he said immediately. After that, he disappeared first, followed by several others. The Tao figure quickly followed.
"Where are you running? You have touched a member of my Xiang family and you still want to run away?" The vast figure above Black Moon Bay snorted coldly, and a huge palm print appeared several miles away. There was a bright blue light on the palm, and there was a figure. Before he could even scream, he turned into a blood mist.
"Damn it! Don't worry about leaving the green mountains without firewood!" One person gritted his teeth, his body instantly self-destructed, and his spiritual consciousness quickly escaped using the time gained by self-destruction. Seeing this, several other people wanted to follow suit, but the palm print suddenly exploded, and those few people were directly swallowed by the terrifying blue power.
As strong as the heavenly realm, he fell instantly in front of that kind of power!
······
The shadow of the lamp danced and the firelight flickered, reflecting that beautiful face.
The faint fragrance of wood fills the room, and beams of cool moonlight shine through the hollow carved windows. She has been standing here for half an hour, with complex colors in her beautiful eyes.
After a while, she quietly sat on the bedside, with three thousand black hairs casually placed behind her, looking at the sleeping face, and sighed quietly.
"If you didn't save me, why would I suffer like this?"
The girl stared at him with soft eyes and noticed some beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. She brought a basin of water, wetted the towel, and wiped him gently with her little hands.
After doing this, she suddenly pulled up a strand of hair, and there was a hint of blue at the tip of her hair. Seeing this, she frowned, and there was something unspeakable in her eyes.
"That's all, since you saved my life, I will stay with you for three years in the future!"
"As for the three-flavored treasure, I'll help you find it..."
She bit her red lips lightly with her teeth, her eyes turned from complicated to firm, she lightly untied her skirt, lifted the quilt, lay in, snuggled into his arms who was still unconscious, her pretty face flushed, and then she closed it gently eyes.
May I be like a star and you like the moon.
The stream of light is bright and clear every night.
