The Creator-level cultivator hurriedly traveled without stopping. Two days later, he arrived at the front lines again.
When he returned to the Emperor's Boat, he took out a talisman and reported the situation to Emperor Xi, "Your Majesty, Master Tao hasn't arrived yet, but he gave me this talisman. He said that it can be used in front of the fog."
Emperor Xi said, "Since Master Tao said it's useful, take this talisman and head to the front lines."
The Creator-level cultivator obeyed. He exited the Emperor's Boat with the talisman and flew towards the sky. When he arrived before the fog that was still surging forward, he opened the talisman. Then, his entire body suddenly emitted a chill that penetrated his soul. In a daze, he seemed to see a white sword Qi shoot into the thick fog.
The talisman that Zhang Yu gave him was formed by a sword Qi. Furthermore, he had attached the power of the "Opening Seal" to it.
The "Opening Seal" was "me". Therefore, he added the seal to the sword Qi. Wherever the sword Qi went, he would be able to inject his own power into it. From there, he would be able to achieve a method where his body couldn't reach it, but his power could.
As the sword Qi slashed into the fog, there was no movement at first. However, after a short moment, the entire fog began to churn. Although it didn't disperse, it stopped surging forward and began to thin out.
At this moment, in the depths of the fog, a cultivator in his thirties stood with his hair tied up. His entire body was enveloped by a Qi Wall. His expression was solemn, but there was also a hint of nervousness. This was because there was a sword Qi right in front of the Qi Wall.
Although the Qi Wall was thick, the sword Qi was slowly pushing in. It could be seen that he was using all of his magic power to resist it.
He didn't know where the sword Qi came from. In a flash, it was in front of him. He didn't even have time to react. If it wasn't for the Guardian Sect's Sect Master Ming giving him this magic tool, he would've been killed by this sword Qi. Moreover, he felt that even if he used the Outer World treasure to return, he wouldn't be able to dodge this sword Qi.
He knew that he was in great danger because he was fully focused on dealing with this sword Qi. He had no time to control the fog outside. If someone came to deal with him at this time, he wouldn't be able to deal with it.
Left with no choice, he changed a seal. In an instant, a strand of power hidden in his body suddenly expanded and erupted.
This was a strand of Essence Sect's Sect Master Zhu gave to him. It could allow him to instantly connect his cultivation and achieve the goal of defeating his opponent.
When the two forces merged into one, the air wall immediately became much thicker. However, to his surprise, the sword light also burst out with a burst of light. Not only was it not pushed away as he had imagined, but the strength of the sword also increased by a few degrees.
When the two forces collided, the Qi wall in the middle couldn't hold on anymore. It was penetrated in an instant. He immediately knew something was wrong, but the sword Qi flashed in front of him. He was stunned for a moment. He looked down and found that his body had been penetrated. After a moment of stagnation, his whole body exploded into a cloud of smoke.
However, after a few breaths, rays of light suddenly condensed, and a human figure appeared from within. However, the sword light turned around and slashed again, killing it again. Then, with a turn in the air, it suddenly flashed and disappeared into thin air. It had directly leaped into the place where the spirit resided.
It could be seen that there was a cloud of white Qi mist in this place. The sword Qi didn't stop. It went up and slashed, cutting down the Qi that was about to climb up above.
At this moment, the Daoist's body appeared once more, but his aura had weakened.
He sensed that his connection to the divine Qi had been broken. He knew that if the sword light came at him again, it would be able to take his life. Therefore, he didn't care about staying here any longer. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still mist to cover him, he turned into a ray of light and fled into the sky.
Outside Yang City, Zhang Yu retracted his consciousness. Although it was just a sword light outside, it was connected to his Qi and Heart Light. It was not much different from him being there in person. It was just that it was difficult for him to use other methods other than the sword light. He didn't chase after the Taoist. As long as he didn't block the way, he didn't have to kill him.
After the Taoist cultivator left, the Qi mist that was blocking Emperor Xi's army also dissipated. The vast and clear blue sky was revealed in front of them.
Seeing this, the Creator hurriedly returned to the Emperor's ship and reported, "Your Majesty, the road ahead is clear."
Emperor Xi said, "Very good. Send my order, resume the advance! "
Following his order, the flying ships that were gathered in the sky advanced forward again. They were like endless waves that flickered with silver light, rushing towards the Northern Border's defensive line.
Five days later, in the military conference hall of Huangdu.
Xue Zhidao was solemnly reading the military reports from all sides. The west side was still okay. The auxiliary elders were experienced. They didn't advance rashly, but they weren't conservative either. They fought back and forth with Emperor Xi's flanks. They had the upper hand with their defensive advantage.
However, the front was a little dangerous. Especially in the past half a month, they had only been retreating. The meticulously built defensive line didn't seem to be of much use. At most, it could only delay the footsteps of Emperor Xi's army.
However, the east side, or more accurately, the northeast side, was very unstable. The fleet that Yao Zhenjun was in was flying everywhere, causing chaos in the hinterland.
He said, "Emperor Xi's attack is aimed at the gate of life."
The disciple beside him said, "Master, it's just a fleet of less than a thousand people. So what if they attack Huangdu? How can they break through the city? Their escape route is blocked. They can't go back at all. Sooner or later, they will be wiped out. "
Xue Zhidao shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then it's bad. If you were a soldier fighting on the frontlines, but you were ambushed from the rear and even charged into the capital region, what would you think? Although it's not a big matter and can be dealt with, it's a huge blow to the morale of the army. This matter can't be ignored. We have to wipe them out as soon as possible. "
He frowned and said, "There's a powerful sword cultivator in this fleet. Those who went before couldn't do anything to her. Instead, they were defeated by her. This kind of person can't be dealt with by two or three people. Furthermore, we can't transfer too much manpower back …"
The disciple said, "Then, what should we do, Master?"
Xue Zhidao said, "The Emperor should take up his responsibility now. He should quickly and decisively send out his capable men to deal with this fleet. Only then can he calm the people down!"
Just like Emperor Xi's Daoist Protector, Emperor Lie also had a powerful protector. However, this person was in charge of protecting others and didn't usually show up. However, at this time, it was necessary to send him out.
The disciple asked, "What if the Emperor doesn't want to?"
Xue Zhidao said emotionlessly, "Then we'll have to do it for him."
The disciple's heart tightened. He could hear that there was another meaning behind this.
After Xue Zhidao made the decision, he immediately sent the disciple to deliver a letter to Emperor Lie.
Emperor Lie received the letter very quickly. After reading the letter, he was displeased and said, "Why do you want to transfer people from my side? Don't you need guards in Huangdu? Don't I need people to protect my safety? "
The existence of this Daoist Protector was not only because he needed someone to ensure his safety, but also because he could counter the cultivators below. This was originally a tacit agreement between him and the cultivators of the Six Sects. But now, they wanted him to send this person away. What were they trying to do? How could he not be angry?
The disciple retorted, "Master said that we have to protect Gancheng. Protecting Huangdu, isn't it enough to protect Your Majesty? Your Majesty, Master said that we're all protecting Your Majesty. The situation is difficult. Your Majesty, you can't abandon your subjects for your own selfish reasons! "
Emperor Lie said, "Isn't there still the auxiliary path? As long as the auxiliary path wins, everything will be fine."
Beside him, Advisor Wu also stood up and said, "His Majesty already knows the meaning of governing the Dao, and he will naturally have his own considerations. His Majesty has been ill recently, and has yet to recover. This Taoist should take his leave first."
The disciple looked at Emperor Lie and said, "Your Majesty, please come up with a plan as soon as possible!" After that, he bowed to the seat of honor and left.
Emperor Lie waited for him to leave and calmed down. He said, "Advisor Wu, what should we do now?"
Advisor Wu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. If you don't send Master Lin, what can they do? They'll just force you to do it again and again. "
Emperor Lie thought for a while and said, "But Master Lin only abides by the rules of protecting Emperor Lie. He doesn't care about anything else. If they try to get someone else to sit on the throne, then Master Lin will have no reason to serve me anymore."
Advisor Wu said, "Your Majesty, none of your sons are capable. Other than Your Majesty, who else can sit on the throne?"
Emperor Lie shook his head, "If it's not possible, I can just use my blood to create another one. It's not that difficult."
Advisor Wu looked at him deeply and said slowly, "But Your Majesty, how do you know that you're not the one to be created?"
"This …"
Emperor Lie heard this and was shocked. He felt a chill down his spine and his hands started to tremble. He didn't dare to think too much about it. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Advisor Wu, I don't know what to do now. Do you have any advice for me?"
Advisor Wu thought for a while and whispered, "Maybe there's a way …"
Emperor Lie said, "What way?"
Advisor Wu said, "Your Majesty, there's someone you want to see." He walked out and told his trusted aide who was guarding the door. The aide nodded and left. After a while, the trusted aide came in with a cultivator.
The cultivator bowed to Emperor Lie and said, "Xiu Meng sect's cultivator Chu An greets Your Majesty."
Emperor Lie looked at Advisor Wu, not sure why he called a cultivator from Xiu Meng sect here. Advisor Wu said to the cultivator, "No need for formalities, Elder Chu An. If you have anything to say, you can say it to His Majesty."
Chu An said, "I'm here under my Master's orders to show Your Majesty a way out. The six sects cannot be trusted, Your Majesty is in danger at any time. But if Your Majesty is willing to give up something, my Master will definitely think of a way to protect Your Majesty."
Emperor Lie didn't ask what it was first, only asked, "Who is your Master? How dare he make such a big promise?"
Chu An straightened his body and said, "I can't tell you Master's name, so we all call him Master Jin. But Master has another identity," he paused, then dragged his voice, "Tian … human!"
