In the light screen, a Daoist wearing a black cloak walked out. His sleeves fluttered in the wind. He had sword-like eyebrows and handsome eyes. He looked very young, but he had a dignified air about him that made people feel reverence.
The two children couldn't help but take a few steps back. Little Bai Li also hid behind them and shivered.
After the Daoist came out, the brilliance that almost covered the sky slowly retracted behind him like a whale swallowing something. His gaze turned and landed on Zhong 'er and Nan' er. When he saw that they were two young children, his expression became slightly gentler. He said, "Why are you two children here? Where is Wu Shangqiu? "
Zhong 'er plucked up her courage and said, "Wu Shangqiu is my father. Are you my father's friend? He's surrounded by bad people. "
"Oh?"
The Daoist looked into the distant sky. There was a hidden divine light in his eyes. In an instant, he saw extremely far away. He said coldly, "I'm a disciple of Qincang. How can my life and death be decided by others?"
He looked at the two children and said, "I'll go find your parents. You two just have to wait here." With a flick of his sleeve, he instantly set up a formation to protect the two children. He then turned around and took a step forward. His figure instantly disappeared.
On the other side, a dilapidated flying boat was flying unsteadily in the sky.
Wu Shangqiu held onto the side of the boat. He looked slightly exhausted. Ever since he entered the valley, he had been chased by a group of people for several days and nights. During this period, he had been fighting fiercely with people without stopping for a moment.
He originally didn't want to kill too much, but after a few chases, he realized that he couldn't hold back anymore. Because if he didn't do so, his opponents would be even more daring.
At this moment, the flying boat suddenly shook and made a slight cracking sound. He knew that the boat had been damaged repeatedly and could no longer bear the burden.
And without this flying boat as a cover, if he continued to fly in the sky, he would definitely be restrained by the secret technique of the Golden Palace. He had to find a place to land before he fell.
He said, "Madam, be careful." As he spoke, he waved the talisman in his hand and swung it downward. In less than ten breaths, the flying boat landed on the ground. With a loud bang, it broke apart. His body emitted a faint mysterious light. With a sweep, he brought Liu Qiuhua and himself out.
When his feet touched the ground, he took out a pill bottle from his sleeve, removed the stopper, and swallowed a pill to replenish the energy deficit.
He was a Taoist cultivator. As long as his Internal Qi was not exhausted and he had the support of the elixir, he could continue to fight. It did not matter if he did not sleep or rest. However, Liu Qiuhua's face was pale. Although she had some secret skills, she was still a mortal. After a few days of fighting, she could not hold on anymore. She said weakly, "Husband, please leave first. If it wasn't for me, you would have escaped long ago."
Wu Shangqiu knew what she was thinking and said in a deep voice, "Don't say such silly words. As long as Zhong Er and Nan Er find that thing, the people from my sect will definitely come. By then, we will be able to solve the crisis." He thought in his heart, "I disobeyed the order of my sect. I'm afraid I won't be forgiven. But you are not guilty. You must take care of yourself and live well."
He took out another pill and said, "Take it."
Liu Qiuhua bit her lips and shook her head. She knew how precious these pills were. One more pill meant one more life. She tried her best to speak, "Husband, please keep it. You don't have to give it to a useless person like me."
Wu Shangqiu knew that she would not accept it. Even if he forced her, he would not be able to do it. He sighed and thought about it. He took out a protective talisman and secretly put it into her sachet. Then, he held her and walked into the dense forest.
When Liu Qiuhua saw the dense forest, she panicked and reminded him, "Husband, it's not a good place to go."
Wu Shangqiu knew what she meant. Seeing that they entered the forest, they might set a fire to force them out. He said, "Don't worry, my wife. They won't set a fire. I'm not afraid of them."
Even though the Golden Palace was secretive and sneaky in the dark, they still had to be shameless on the surface. They would not be too unscrupulous. If they started a fire, it would burn down a few mountains and many lives would be lost.
Moreover, he was not afraid of the fire. He could use his treasured clothing and protective talisman to defend himself. He would be able to hold on for a few days. When the people from the sect came, the situation would be over.
At this moment, the high priest of the Golden Palace was following behind with the rest of the people on the flying birds. He saw that the flying boat had fallen into the forest. He sneered and said, "Do you think that I won't be able to do anything to you if you hide in the forest?"
He took out a white urn, held it up, and muttered something. A wisp of white smoke rose up. Soon after, white smoke also rose up from a few other directions. Each of them gathered into a few patterns that looked like words, but were not words at the same time. With just a glance, they understood each other's intentions.
He sneered a few times, then waved his arms and shouted to the people behind him, "Everyone, Wu Shangqiu can't go far without his flying boat. Let's surround this dense forest and slowly search. It won't be difficult to capture him."
The people behind him responded in unison.
Wu Shangqiu sprinted through the forest. Even if he did not fly, his speed was not slow. But at this moment, his feet stopped. He lowered his head and saw a withered evil spirit emerging from the ground. It was biting the hem of his clothes and looking at him with a strange expression. He frowned, and with a turn of the profound light, it turned the evil spirit into ashes.
This was obviously the doing of the Golden Palace. However, he was puzzled. There was no malevolent land here and there was no malevolent aura. How could this person summon the ferocious ghost to stop him? Could it be that he could summon them out of thin air?
Thinking up to here, he couldn't help but shudder as if he'd thought of something.
He took a deep breath. If that was the case, there was no point in running anymore. The more he ran, the more malevolent ghosts and demons would appear to stop him. It would be a waste of his Qi. It would be better to stop and fight. At least he could buy himself some time.
Liu Qiuhua saw that he stopped and asked nervously, "Husband?"
Wu Shangqiu said, "I'm fine. There's no need to run anymore. We'll rest here and wait for this person to come. You can rest for a while and fight the enemy with me later."
When Liu Qiuhua heard what Wu Shangqiu said, a smile blossomed on her face. She said, "Good." Then, she came out of the protection of the mysterious light and sat cross-legged on the ground. She used the method that Wu Shangqiu had taught her to regulate her breathing in order to recover her strength as soon as possible.
When the Golden Palace priest arrived with the crowd, he saw Wu Shangqiu standing with his back against a huge tree. His entire body was protected by golden light, and there was a flying spear that looked like a heavy awl hanging above him. He could not help but stare. This flying spear could break a person's tendons and bones with just one knock. He had seen it before, but the more powerful this thing was, the more greedy he was. He took a step forward and shouted, "Wu Shangqiu, the flying boat has been destroyed. There is a secret lock in the sky from the Golden Palace. You can't escape today no matter what. Why don't you put down your instrument and surrender? “
Wu Shangqiu looked at him and said, "Why talk so much? Just do it."
In the past, he always felt that there was a layer of fog covering his bier. Now that he was in a life-and-death situation, his mind became clearer.
The Golden Palace priest was about to call for the people to go forward but he realized that the people behind him were all cowering.
This was inevitable. In the previous battle, there were many casualties. Wu Shang Qiu was obviously like a cornered beast that was putting up a desperate fight. This was the most dangerous moment. Who could guarantee that he would sacrifice himself to help others? Since that was the case, who would be willing to risk their lives?
The Golden Palace priest saw the situation and knew that he needed to motivate the people. He shouted, "Whoever captures Wu Shangqiu can enter the Golden Palace as a priest!"
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned at first. Then, their hearts burned with passion.
They had seen the power of the Golden Palace. The Golden Palace had many secret skills. It was said that the Malice Suppression Skill came from the Golden Palace. If one could enter, it would be like going to heaven in a single step.
Someone immediately shouted and couldn't help but make a move.
With someone taking the lead, the people behind him started to attack. Many colorful lights were directed at Wu Shangqiu.
Of course, Wu Shangqiu would not just stand there and not fight back. He used the Dark-Light Snatch to fight back.
He was wearing a Taoist robe given to him by the sect. No matter what kind of secret method or murderous weapon fell on him, it could not be broken. However, this required the support of his own Inner Qi. Once it was used up, he would die.
The battle lasted for about half a day. During this time, many people from the Malice Suppression Skill died. However, under the urging of the Golden Palace priest, there were still people coming.
Although Wu Shangqiu had the upper hand, he knew that he was almost at the end after he swallowed the last elixir. He looked into the sky and thought, "I wonder if Zhong Er and Nan Er are there. It's a pity that I won't be able to see you grow up."
Another half an hour later, his inner breath was exhausted, but there was still no change. He knew that there was no hope of survival. He sighed and gave up resisting. He hugged Liu Qiuhua in his arms and said, "I'm sorry that you didn't want us to die here."
Liu Qiuhua patted his back and said softly, "I don't blame you."
Wu Shangqiu laughed. The last ray of Dark-Light on his body was extinguished. He then looked at the hundreds of lights that were charging at him.
However, just when he thought that his life was about to be lost, an aura that was as vast as the ocean suddenly descended. Then, everything around him suddenly became still. Everyone, including the Golden Palace Priest, maintained the same posture and expression at that moment. All colors in the world seemed to have abruptly faded, as if only black and white were left.
Then, he saw a Daoist in a black robe slowly walking over. Wherever he passed, everyone and everything would shatter and turn into nothingness. It was as if the sun was shining brightly, and all the haze and ghosts would melt and disintegrate under its light.
Liu Qiuhua also noticed the abnormality. She looked back and widened her eyes. She covered her mouth and watched everything.
After a while, the Taoist stood in front of the two of them and said, "Wu Shangqiu, your report is too late."
Wu Shangqiu's voice trembled, "Yuan Shang Zhen?" He did not expect the sect to send a Shang Zhen over. He knelt down and cried, "Disciple Wu Shangqiu greets Shang Zhen."
Liu Qiuhua knelt down as well. She could tell that her husband's sect was not as simple as she thought. It was not an exaggeration to say that the sect's power was heavenly.
Wu Shangqiu kept kowtowing and said, "I have sinned, but I still have to trouble the sect to save me. I'm ashamed and ashamed. Please punish me."
Yuan JIngqing said, "We'll talk about your matter later. The sect will judge it. Wait here, I'll be back soon."
Wu Shangqiu asked, "Where is Shang Zhen going?"
Yuan JIngqing said calmly, "He's going to destroy the Golden Palace."
Wu Shangqiu was stunned.
Yuan JIngqing said, "Even if you did something wrong, you're still a disciple of the Qincang School. There are rules to restrict you. However, this person harmed my disciple for no reason. How can I tolerate it?"
