"Has the Pantheon been targeting me for a long time?"
Lu Yuncheng looked slightly panicked, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Since fellow Taoist dare to show up, I hope that when you and I meet today, we won't fall into the eyes of the Pantheon spies."
Xiang Shen said with a smile on his face, "This is natural. Fellow Daoist Lu is really extraordinary."
"Fellow Taoist, you are so complimentary."
Lu Yuncheng said politely, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down.
He calmed down and finally regained some thinking. He was silent for a moment and asked slowly: "I don't know where my friend came from unexpectedly."
Xiang Shen smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's to help fellow Taoist."
"help me?"
Lu Yuncheng looked mocking. People in the cultivation world have always been indifferent. He didn't believe that the other party came here to remind him with good intentions.
He took a slight breath and simply opened the skylight and said frankly: "My fellow Taoist has great supernatural powers and can deceive even the spies of the Pantheon. This method alone is far inferior to me. I really don't know what I have that makes me worthy of my fellow Taoist's help." of."
"It's normal for Fellow Daoist Lu to have doubts about me."
Xiang Shen comforted him, opened his palm, and a palm-sized jade statue suddenly caught Lu Yuncheng's eyes.
"This is...the statue of Yu Ji?"
Lu Yuncheng looked at the jade statue in Xiang Shen's hand and said with joy: "Fellow Taoist is actually from Dongzhou?"
Xiang Shen nodded lightly: "I am doing this to help you, but in fact it is also for myself. If you watch the Pantheon sow discord and intensify the conflict between the two continents.
I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be no place for us and others in this Xizhou. How can I stand by and watch?
A statue of Lady Chu can’t completely confirm my identity, but it’s better than..."
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to say any more, I believe you."
Lu Yuncheng interrupted Xiang Shu and sighed: "I don't think anyone but Comrade Dongzhou will care about my life or death."
Xiang Shen paused for a moment, then quickly continued: "Since fellow Taoist believe me, there are still a few things I'm not sure about. I hope fellow Taoist Lu will tell you the truth."
Lu Yuncheng's spirit perked up slightly: "Fellow Taoist, feel free to ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Xiang Shen's eyes flashed: "Young Daoist Lu have really gone to find those elders who recruited disciples?"
"It's true."
Lu Yuncheng's face darkened: "But there is more to this matter. The elders I went to find were all instructed by others.
I have been practicing in Xizhou for twenty years. How could I not know that the attitude of the Xizhou sect towards the monks in Dongzhou is very different?
So when I came to Sword City this time, I asked someone in advance to find out which elders were willing to accept the Dongzhou monks. Who knows..."
Lu Yunqing looked annoyed and couldn't say any more.
“Who knew that I would be deceived?”
Xiang Shen spoke calmly and continued, "The man recommended to you as an elder not only did not accept the Dongzhou monks, but was extremely repulsive to Dongzhou.
You have always been frustrated and cannot bear the humiliation, so why do you say such cruel words? "
"What fellow Taoist said is true to every word."
Lu Yuncheng lamented, "After the impulse that day, I immediately realized that Pantheon must be behind it. Unfortunately, I am already riding a tiger and I don't know what to do."
When Xiang Shen heard this, he waved his sleeves to create a water mirror. The mirror rippled for a moment, revealing the face of the purple-robed monk.
"Is this the person who recommended you to recruit disciples and elders?"
Lu Yuncheng shook his head and changed to Xiang Shu.
In the past few days, the faces of the purple-clothed monk and the people around him were different every day. She had secretly memorized all the faces.
She patiently changed to the twenty-third pair, and Lu Yuncheng's pupils suddenly shrank: "That's him!"
"That's correct."
Xiang Shen waved his sleeve to wipe off the water mirror, "I'm afraid the Pantheon has been targeting you from the beginning. Even the Earth God of Dongzhou can't escape their scheme. It's hard for you not to fall for it, but there's no need to blame yourself for it."
"Fellow……"
Lu Yuncheng looked moved.
Although he said he believed in the other party, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart. He suspected that the other party was a pawn sent by the Pantheon to plot against him.
But after hearing these words, the doubt in his heart disappeared instantly.
He has been wandering alone in the world of cultivation for so many years, and no one has ever comforted him like this.
Not to mention the extremely small possibility that the other party was a Pantheon monk, even if it was true, he would admit it.
Xiang Shen was still sorting out the whole story and didn't notice Lu Yuncheng's reaction at all.
Nowadays, chaos is beginning to appear in the situation in Sword City, but if you want to cause complete chaos in the city and completely oppose the East and West continents, you still need a primer.
Lu Yuncheng, who is at the forefront of the storm, is the best and easiest candidate to control.
If they don't interfere, Pantheon will definitely choose a suitable time to use Lu Yuncheng's death to trigger chaos.
Pantheon probably wouldn't give up easily after saving Lu Yuncheng, and would probably think of other ways. But this way, they will definitely spend more time.
And what I lack most now is time.
A cold light flashed in Xiang Shen's eyes.
With every extra day, her plan would be more certain of success. This time had to be delayed.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu took out two jade talismans that he had prepared early and handed them to Lu Yuncheng.
"After today, you continue to act as usual, and you must pretend not to notice that the Pantheon spies are secretly watching."
Lu Yuncheng nodded repeatedly, and then asked: "Then this jade talisman..."
"Of course it's to save your life."
Xiang Shen looked thoughtful and said: "Your cultivation is only in Yuanying. With the way Pantheon behaves, the first person sent to kill you should have been in the out-of-body stage.
If you encounter one, immediately crush the sword-shaped jade talisman at the person who came. After killing him, immediately crush the other one and escape. Do this again and again... Only then will it help you escape safely. "
Lu Yuncheng's eyes widened slightly when he heard this.
Can this small sword talisman escape the orifice stage? Is the late stage of out-of-body experience no exception?
A jade talisman that condenses the great power of the God Transformation Stage?
The other party is actually a palace master-level figure? !
Cultivation is so fast, could it be that he was one of the four great geniuses of Dongzhou in the past...
He was shocked in his heart and nodded hastily, believing Xiang Shu's instructions.
The Pantheon is powerful, but there is no way they would just send a palace master-level person over just to deceive him, right?
Do you have such a big face?
Speaking of which, this is the first time for me to have such close contact with a powerful person in the transformation stage...
Thinking like this, Lu Yuncheng couldn't help but look at Xiang Shu more, which made Xiang Shu almost think that the secret method of "Transformation" had failed.
After dealing with Lu Yuncheng's matter, the sundial has turned to three o'clock.
Xiang Shu immediately stopped staying any longer and left quietly, returning to Jianta Square.
At this moment, Su Qingqing had come back from outside, and Li Xiaoliu had also come out of the sword tower, muttering.
"Junior sister, why are you so late today..."
Although Xiang Shu was not his original appearance, he still felt guilty and bypassed the two of them and entered the sword tower. After meditating inside for a while, I returned to my original appearance and came out of the tower.
"Little junior sister!"
Li Xiaoliu immediately came over with a happy face, "Nothing happened in the square today. Senior sister said that she went back and made a lot of snacks. Let's go back and try some."
It turns out I went back to make snacks...
Xiang Shen pursed his lips slightly and said "Okay" obediently.
After a while, the three of them returned to Sumeng Villa.
After eating a few pastries, we returned to Xiaoling Pond to continue practicing.
"Junior sister is practicing really hard..."
Li Xiaoliu sighed while stuffing snacks into his mouth. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked vaguely:
"Fourth Senior Sister, when I see you, you always urge me to practice. This time when I go down the mountain, why don't you urge me at all?"
Su Qingqing raised an eyebrow, "What? Do you want to taste what it's like to be pushed?"
"No no no!"
Li Xiaoliu immediately shook his head and continued eating without daring to look at Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Xiaoliu's reaction, but there was a bit of reluctance in her eyes.
After Master Jade wakes up... is Xiao Liu still there?
…
Xiao Ling Pond.
Xiang Shu took off his coat, walked lightly into the pool, and sat down cross-legged.
All the thoughts that she had suppressed temporarily during the sword tower fight came to her mind, and wisps of thick breath escaped from her body, stirring the water in the pool and making a slight sound.
As time went by, the breath condensed into an irregular phantom, twisted for a moment, and finally failed to take shape and gradually dispersed.
Xiang Shen's eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes slowly opened, and a little silver light slipped under his eyes.
"It's still a little bit close, but it's getting closer. It will definitely happen in three days at most."
Xiang Shu felt it for a while and came to a conclusion.
Calculating the time, only seven days have passed since she tried to condense it.
Xiang Shu was not surprised that it was accomplished in such a short time.
She has a perfect body and excellent conditions. Condensing the power of her body is a matter of course and not difficult.
The difficult thing is how to superimpose the power of the physical body with the power of the sword.
The sword force unleashed by 39% of the sword intention is too strong. But the power of the physical body has just condensed, and it is definitely at a disadvantage.
If the two forces appear at the same time, the physical force will be immediately dispersed by the sword force, making superposition impossible.
Fortunately, after these two days of constant fighting in the sword tower, she also found an expedient way to deal with the superposition of forces.
This situation is ultimately due to her lack of combat experience and lack of control over the sword's power. If she could completely restrain the sword's power, it would explode during the fight.
The superposition of that moment may create a fighter opportunity and turn the impossible into possible...
Xiang Shu continued to immerse himself in cultivation, and the situation in Sword City became increasingly intense under the deliberate control of Pantheon.
Through the movements of the purple-clothed monks, Su Qingqing captured more traces of the Pantheon monks, but still stood still.
She goes to the sword tower at two o'clock every day, and sends her junior brothers and sisters to the sword tower at noon. She returns at midnight and stays in the other courtyard without going out, not even going to the tavern.
After three days of this, the purple-clothed monk finally took action.
It was late at night, Su Qingqing sensed the touch of spiritual thoughts, immediately woke up from trance, and went to where the spiritual thoughts guided her.
However, before going out, he noticed that many monks marked by spiritual thoughts suddenly separated and flew to three different locations.
The nearest one is actually at the Luoji Tavern behind the courtyard. The other two are still unclear.
Su Qingqing looked slightly cold and rushed to the nearest Luo Ji Tavern without saying a word.
Little did she know that shortly after she left, Xiang Shu escaped from Sumeng Villa and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
