Baidi City, Imperial Palace.
After three days, Gu Ci met Bai Di again.
In the main hall of Hibiscus Palace, the fragrance of Ningshen was lingering. Bai Di was dressed in a white robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon. He didn't open his eyes even after feeling Gu Ci's appraising gaze. He turned his back to him and said, "If you can succeed this time, leave." I don’t care about Elder Gu Ci’s advice.”
Gu Ci looked at Bai Emperor's back. There seemed to be a few traces of blood on the white robe. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Why did Bai Emperor choose to practice my ancient clan's method in the first place?"
Bai Di opened his eyes, stood up, looked at Gu Ci and smiled: "When I first started practicing, I was only thinking about self-protection, but now that I think about it, it really lacks some meaning."
Bai Di had just broken through and his face was very pale, but his eyes were extremely bright and seemed to be able to hold the entire world.
Gu Ci's expression became much more solemn, and he regarded this as a question and said: "Before today, we still thought that Bai Emperor was more likely to fail."
Bai Di's eyes flickered, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he said faintly: "I did almost fail, but fortunately."
Bai Di looked past Gu Ci and looked at the sky in the distance. Gu Ci naturally knew what Bai Di was lamenting now. He shook his head and said: "The Bai Empire is so lucky that it can succeed. The subversion of southern Xinjiang's luck is a key, but I I think there is a more critical reason.”
"Oh?" Bai Di looked away and looked at Gu Ci.
Gu Ci said sternly: "The method of the Nine-Revolving Coiled Dragon is originally a practice method created by my ancient ancestors in an impossible predicament. It coincides with the true meaning of doing what is impossible but doing it by force. All the spirits in this world are fighting for their way in the heaven and earth. Regardless of talent or opportunity, the most valuable thing is the ambition to reach the top or die."
Bai Di's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and in the end he couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Climb to the top or die? We should do the same."
Seeing Bai Di's high-spirited appearance, Gu Ci waited in rare silence for him to calm down.
Bai Di quickly adjusted his mood, and made a solemn bow with his hands: "It is really difficult for me to break through to the fourth level, and my heart is disturbed by secret joy. The elder's few words today really woke me up. "
"Does Emperor Bai really need someone to wake him up?" Gu Ci sighed softly: "Even if you don't know the true meaning, you are already doing it. This is not more important than anything else. It can even be said that you are much better than my peers in the Gu family. .”
Bai Di said: "The elder is serious. As one of the ten great families of the Gu family, the one who is the same age as me, not to mention others, is the head of the Gu Yuan family. He is almost in his seventh reincarnation, right?"
Gu Ci was speechless for a moment, his eyes fell on Bai Di's face, and he said with a smile: "I have some idea of why Bai Di was able to succeed."
Who can Bai Di not compare with? Compared with the heads of the ten major families? This is truly worthy of the ambition to reach the top.
Bai Di looked outside the main hall. The imperial city at night was brightly lit. The sky was smudged by the firelight in the imperial city. It was a little more gorgeous with colorful glass, and it was a little more beautiful than the clear sky during the day. But when he thought about it, it was even more beautiful. The expression in the southern territory became serious.
"The elder is leaving, right?"
Gu Ci smiled and said: "Could it be that Bai Emperor wants to entertain us for a few more days? Now that you have successfully broken through, the chaos in southern Xinjiang should also be resolved, right?"
Gu Ci saw Bai Di frowning and hesitated to speak, and asked in his heart: "Did you sense some changes during the breakthrough, right?"
Bai Di sighed softly: "The fortune of Youyan Province is completely messed up. I don't even know if I should let it continue to be messed up. Does the elder have any suggestions?"
Bai Di's eyes were burning.
Gu Ci's face was calm. Bai Emperor might have some sincerity, but in the final analysis, this matter was Bai Emperor's family matter. Even if he hoped that the Mujin Dynasty would become more chaotic, he would not give any advice at this time, so he asked: "Bai Di thinks so for the sake of future practice?"
Bai Di walked to the entrance of the palace and sat on the jade stone steps regardless of appearance. The guards in the shadows in the distance lowered their faces to their chests when they saw this.
Gu Ci also walked out.
It has to be said that the first emperor of the Bai family was very discerning. The terrain here is not too high, but when you go out, you can see the magnificent vermilion palace in the near distance and the majestic imperial city with bright lights in the distance. At one point is the square paved with sapphire, and at the higher point is the deep blue night sky.
Standing in this position, everything you see is everything, and the world is within your sight.
"In the eyes of elders and masters like you, some of my plans are actually easy to guess, right? I was worried about how to persuade you to stay in the imperial city for a few more days, but I didn't expect to find an opportunity to wait for it. You didn’t even question the excuse, which was quite stupid now that I think about it a few days ago.”
Gu Ci's voice sounded slowly on the stone steps after a while: "If Bai Di fails to break through, then it is really possible that he will get a stupid evaluation from me."
"Haha." Bai Di slapped his knee and laughed: "If it fails, it will have nothing to do with me, elders, no matter how you scold me, I never care what the historian writes."
Gu Ci glanced sideways at Bai Emperor. Would someone who wanted to be an immortal emperor not care about reputation? It's just that nothing in this world is perfect.
Bai Di's laughter gradually stopped and he looked at the lonely palace in a daze. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Is there anyone in the ancient clan who has entered the realm of immortality?"
Gu Ci glanced at Bai Di and didn't answer.
Bai Di stood up and turned around and asked: "Does the elder think that if a person has the power to overwhelm most people, he will still want to be an emperor?"
Bai Di looked at Gu Ci seriously, and Gu Ci replied somewhat coldly: "The realm of immortality requires the integration of a trace of the origin of chaos. The state of mind will be very different from the past."
Bai Di frowned in thought, and said to himself: "Is this the way to follow the Tao? Is there no desire at that time?"
Gu Ci shook his head and said: "The realm of immortality requires the condensation of personality. All living beings and spirits are fighting for it. The battle here is ten thousand times more difficult than being an emperor. If one day the White Emperor condenses the personality, I'm afraid someone will ask you for help. You won’t want to be the emperor anymore.”
Gu Ci finally reminded: "If Bai Di wants to rely on some imaginary situation to make the current decision, then it is difficult to say whether things will be satisfactory in the end."
Bai Di chuckled and said, "Are you saying that I am too ambitious?"
Gu Ci said calmly: "Bai Di's successful breakthrough has shown that this is feasible, but please understand that I will never tell you whether you can succeed next time, because cultivation is always your own business."
Bai Di stopped his smile, stood up and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I was just pretending. Some decisions should really be made by myself."
Gu Ci said: "Bai Emperor is a person with a very pure purpose. We have been paid for coming here this time, so we will naturally try our best to meet your requirements."
Bai Di nodded, squinted at the sky in the distance, and said leisurely: "Cao Jin sent me several letters in a row. It seems that Hidden Valley has been split. I don't intend to find out whether Hidden Valley deliberately showed it to me. Yes, but some people have to die, and the people on that list remain the same."
Bai Di turned around and looked at Gu Ci, and said with a smile: "I made an agreement with your family master. If one person is left out, you will lose 10% of the spiritual stones collected by that spiritual vein. However, let the elders wait for Bai Di The city has been waiting for so many days, so in order to express my apology, I decided to change it to half a percent."
"Heh." Gu Ci smiled coldly, "More good intentions, but no need."
Among those on the list, the ones with the highest cultivation levels have just broken through to the extraordinary.
A female cultivator in the early stages of transcending the world?
One punch thing.
"Then we'll set off now."
Gu Ci walked down the steps, and Bai Di stood on the stone steps. Looking at Gu Ci's swaggering back as he left, he chuckled and said, "Then I wish the Imperial Dynasty and the Gu family a successful cooperation this time."
…
Bai Di, who was far away in Zhongzhou, could sense the turmoil in Youyan State. Naturally, it was because Suzaku City, the state capital that stabilized the state's destiny, was in critical condition.
On the edge of the dark volcanic ash in the inner city, from time to time a scarlet sword energy would pierce the sky, and it would often be followed by a series of angry curses.
After the chaos of the past few days, the number of people who returned to live in the inner city was actually less than 200,000.
From the time the sun sets in the west to the lone moon hanging in the sky, almost two hours have passed. Logically speaking, everyone who wanted to escape has already escaped, but at this time, at least 70,000 to 80,000 people are still trapped in the inner city.
"boom--"
A dull crashing sound spread out from the volcanic ash, followed by a sudden whistling sound that broke through the air.
A figure dragging green light fell straight to the ground.
The monster emerged from the volcanic ash. It was now much larger than before. After a condescending glance at the ground, it snorted and rushed directly towards the south gate.
"boom--"
The demon-suppressing sword rose from the ground and shot toward the monster.
The monster snorted coldly. It had gradually gained the upper hand in the fight with Mu Qing, but the more so, the more cautious it became. Even though the power of Shura on the demon-suppressing sword was already extremely weak, it took the initiative to force away the blow. .
The monster flew above the collapsed ancient city wall, and the people on the ground screamed in fear.
"Haha, you ants, why don't you run away quickly?"
The monster took the initiative to release the Dao Domain.
People on the ground were pushing and crowding, some of them rushed to the markets on both sides, and some of them rushed to the collapsed city wall.
They didn't know at all that they had been affected by the Shura Dao Realm, but it was almost the same. Along the way, without the personal guards to maintain order, and always under the fear of imminent death, they had already been tortured. At this moment, it just collapsed faster and more.
After some people collapsed, they abandoned the people around them who had sworn to stay with them for the rest of their lives. Some people even collapsed and punched the weaker ones with knives and fists. The latter were the most abominable. They may have known that they could not escape death. At this moment The amplified thoughts in my heart are just dragging others along with me.
Mu Qing stopped in mid-air, watching the scenes on the ground with an indifferent expression.
The monster stopped using black flames to devour the people a long time ago. It moved towards the city gate along the central axis avenue without any urgency.
This once caused the fleeing people to have a fatal illusion, thinking that as long as they did not run away, nothing would happen, so many people began to rush towards the market next to the avenue. The will is breaking down at any time.
His view of monsters has changed a lot in these few short hours.
The reason why a monster is a monster is because it can discover and amplify the most vulnerable parts of human nature. In this situation, death may be the only way to end it.
But on a higher level, wouldn’t the death of these people be another attack on other people?
Mu Qing suddenly thought of this and looked towards the outer city.
Five black tornadoes with a thickness of more than ten feet stood in the sky and earth, and connected to them were waves of scarlet and dazzling blood.
With the combined efforts of everyone in the outer city, the death energy of the Shura formation was diluted a lot, and it was about to cut off the connection between death energy and blood energy. But it is a pity that such a great formation of yin and yang is both simple and exquisite. As long as it is As long as the death energy persists, this formation is far from being destroyed.
This doesn't even require guidance. Defense is shrouded in this formation, and every death energy will become a shackles that binds the creatures in this formation.
So after discovering that Huaifenghua and the others were destroying the Shura formation, the monsters even maintained this unhurried pace.
Xing Fei had left the inner city not long ago.
He originally planned to die here, but after being saved several times by Mu Qing, he finally had to change his mind and left here with less than a thousand personal guards.
So at this moment, the inner city is already a battlefield for Mu Qing where he can put aside all his worries.
He clasped his fingers together and held the Demon Suppressing Sword in front of him.
The monster had been paying attention to his movements. After seeing his movements, it cursed angrily and immediately rushed towards Mu Qing.
"Zizzizi."
Countless small air currents began to wrap around the Demon Suppressing Sword, red, black, blood and death. At this moment, Mu Qing ignored it and desperately grabbed all the available power around him.
The Demon Suppressing Sword swayed more and more in Mu Qing's hand. After all the small air currents penetrated the sword, the inscription on the sword suddenly lit up, and a large word "Demon" was directly reflected in mid-air.
The monster rushed towards Mu Qing and was suddenly choked.
The word "Devil" is extremely scarlet, but within it there is a trace of condensed death energy like a snake moving crazily.
It felt an unusually chaotic aura from the word "devil", and its intuition told it that it would be dangerous if this chaotic aura spread out.
"laugh."
A crisp sound echoed through the air.
Mu Qing just took a step forward in mid-air and thrust out a sword seemingly lightly.
These things almost happened in an instant. Just as the tip of the Demon-Suppressing Sword passed through the word "魔" in mid-air, a wisp of black flame jumped out from the word "魔" on the sword, like a drop of pitch black. Ink dripped into Yin Hong's words.
"Buzz."
The word "Devil" in mid-air began to tremble, and the next moment it disappeared in a flash.
The monster screamed and was about to flee into the distance, but it seemed to be forcibly immobilized. No matter how raging the black flames were in its body, it could not break free from the invisible restraint.
A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Mu Qing's mouth, and he couldn't stop it.
Mu Qing described himself as extremely depressed, but his eyes were extremely bright. He lowered his head and said, "Go."
The demon-suppressing sword made a loud sword cry and rushed towards the monster instantly.
The monster was never willing to sit still and wait for death. At this moment, the black flames in its body no longer expanded outwards, but contracted inward. Under its control, the black flames began to collide with each other, and finally exploded first in its body with a bang.
"Click."
A tearing sound sounded,
The disappearing word "Devil" appeared on the surface of the monster, trying to restrain the monster's division. At this moment, the magic sword also burst out at its maximum speed.
"Rumble--"
The demon-suppressing sword hit the monster, and the monstrous black flames expanded in an instant, and were instantly bound around the sword body by the radiance of the word "devil".
"Mu Qing!"
The vicious voice of the monster resounded throughout the world, followed closely by an even more violent explosion.
It relied on the destructive power caused by self-mutilation to finally break free of speed, and flew into the volcanic ash with most of the black flames.
Regret flashed in Mu Qing's eyes, but he was not discouraged.
He flew over and held the Demon Suppressing Sword. The inscriptions on the Demon Suppressing Sword flashed as if it could breathe. In a moment, the bound black flames around the sword were absorbed into the sword.
