The Golden Elixir Road

Chapter 39: Imperial Soldiers Invade the Outer Worlds

"But Uncle Li told me that they were accepted as disciples by Yaoguang. It is impossible for him to remember such a big thing wrong. Could he have missed it?" Yan Qingci said.

"If that's true, perhaps we can go ask Elder Qi Tailai. The files record that he was the one who personally went to Ziyun Cave Heaven to test his disciples ten years ago." Yao Xi said again.

Yao Xi immediately took Yan Qingci to Qi Tailai's cave. Qi Tailai happened to be in Yaoguang and had not gone out, so the two of them naturally met each other smoothly.

"Disciple greets Elder Qi." Yao Xi was the first to pay his respects, and Yan Qingci followed suit.

"No need to be so polite. How come you have time to come to me today, Saint?" Qi Tailai said with a smile, his face looking kind.

"I came here today to seek help from the elder for something." Yao Xi said.

"It's a rare opportunity to help the Saint, so tell us what you have to say." Qi Tailai said.

"Ten years ago, you went to Ziyun Cave Heaven for the assessment in person, right?" Yao Xi asked.

"It's me. Why does the Saint ask this?" Qi Tailai asked in surprise.

"Elder Qi, do you remember that two disciples named Yan Chengze and Liu Qiujun are a couple?" Yan Qingci asked.

Qi Tai looked at Yan Qingci and said, "It's been a long time, I can't remember clearly, but I really don't have any impression."

The clue was lost again, so the two had to return to Yao Xi's cave to discuss again.

Both of them felt that there was something fishy about Qi Tailai. Yao Xi also became interested in this matter and felt that there was a conspiracy lingering in the Yaoguang Holy Land.

"I'll have people go to each cave to check if there are similar incidents." Yao Xi said.

"Thank you for your help, sister." Yan Qingci said gratefully.

"Uncle Master, please help me keep an eye on Elder Qi." Yan Qingci said to Shi Wuwei.

"Yes, young master, but if you ask me, we should just arrest that elder and torture him to extract a confession, and then everything will become clear," said Shi Wuwei.

Yan Qingci shook his head and said, "You can't do that."

Three days later, Yao Xi received a report that this was not an isolated incident and had also occurred in other caves.

"I didn't expect that there are so many things in Yaoguang Holy Land that I don't know about." Yao Xi said with interest.

"Young master, that elder has gone out." Shi Wuwei also said.

"Let's go, we'll follow behind and be careful not to let him find us." Yan Qingci said.

Qi Tailai’s cultivation level in the second level of Xiantai was slow and leisurely at the beginning, so Yao Xi and Yan Qingci could still catch up with him from a distance.

After leaving Yaoguang, they suddenly started to fly at full speed. Yao Xi was struggling and Yan Qingci couldn't keep up, so Shi Wuwei had to lead the two of them.

Not long after, they had already left Yaoguang far away. The three were wondering what Qi Tailai was going to do when a beam of imperial weapon light suddenly came from nowhere.

There was no time to react, and the three of them could only wait to die. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Banner of the Gods and Demons of Heaven automatically protected its master.

"Roar!"

Two towering demons appeared and attacked at the same time to block the blow that could destroy the world.

"Boom!"

The void shattered, the earth cracked, the sky was shaking, the whole world seemed to be destroyed, and a roar was heard throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

A phantom of the demon god was directly shattered and turned into corpse evil energy and returned to the Banner of the Gods and Demons of the Heavens. Only the demon god who looked like the Stone Emperor was barely still there, but he finally blocked the attack.

However, the next moment, another divine light from the imperial weapon came, and this time the Banner of the Gods and Demons of the Heavens could not withstand this attack no matter what.

The three of them were in despair. Yao Xi had never imagined that just investigating the cause of death of two Taoist Palace disciples would actually lead to an attack by the imperial soldiers. Was he going to die here today?

"How dare you! You are seeking death!" A loud shout was heard, and at the same time a halberd light appeared, blocking the attack.

"Master!"

Yan Qingci recognized who was coming.

"Master!" Shi Wuwei shouted excitedly, almost thinking that he was going to die.

Wang Zizai was originally practicing in the Immortal Mountain, but suddenly he had a sudden impulse and felt that something bad was about to happen.

Such a strong feeling could only be myself or someone close to me. I am in the Immortal Mountain and there is no danger. So it must be Yan Qingci who is in danger.

Wang Zizai quickly asked the Supreme Xuanwu to use his divine sense to search for Yan Qingci's whereabouts, and then he borrowed the power of the dragon-patterned black gold halberd to come over. After rushing, he finally caught up with him.

The people in the dark wanted to retreat, but unfortunately Wang Zizai didn't want to let them go so easily.

"Dark creature, get out of here!"

Wang Zida shouted and swung his halberd again. The opponent was forced to fight back with the imperial weapon, and at this time he finally revealed his whereabouts.

A black-clothed man from the second level of the Immortal Realm appeared in the void, with a dazzling light floating above his head. A beam of imperial weapon light shot out from it and blocked Wang Zizai's attack.

"In that case, I will fight you for two moves with my imperial weapon!" the man in black said in a sinister voice.

"If you want to fight, go to the starry sky. Do you want to defeat Donghuang and make him sink?" The Void Mirror appeared here and said to the two of them.

"Master Wuwei, you protect them well."

Wang Zizai gave an order and appeared in the starry sky with the power of the dragon-patterned black gold halberd, and the man in black followed him.

Once they reached the starry sky, the two finally let go and used all their strength to activate the imperial weapons, causing them to collide with each other.

With just one strike, endless energy exploded, the dust in the universe disappeared in an instant, the stars exploded, and the void was torn into countless holes, like a rag.

At the same time, everyone in Beidou looked up at the sky and saw two suns appearing in the sky.

After the attack, Wang Zizai swung his halberd to block the energy flow that was raging everywhere, but the man in black did not need to do so, and the difference in strength was immediately apparent.

However, Wang Zizai was at a lower level, so it was normal for him to be at a disadvantage. The reason he was not injured was that all the damage was blocked by the dragon-patterned black gold halberd.

"Why don't you use the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife? Is it because there are restrictions? How many times can you use it, once or twice?" The man in black looked at Wang Zizai and smiled sinisterly.

"The laws of heaven and earth!"

In the starry sky, Wang Zizai instantly turned into a giant hundreds of feet tall, and the black gold halberd with dragon pattern also turned into a truly huge halberd that reached the sky and the earth.

Wang Zizai held the halberd in both hands and chopped it down. The halberd, which was several hundred feet long, pressed down on the man in black like the sky falling down.

The man in black did not dare to be careless when seeing this attack, because this was an attack from the imperial weapon's real body.

The unknown imperial weapon on the black-clothed man's head suddenly burst out with a stronger light, covering itself, and then leaped up, also using its own body to catch the dragon-patterned black gold halberd.

"boom!"

There was another strong collision, and the whole Beidou could hear a roar. This time, Wang Zizai was not at a disadvantage.

Wang Ziyu chopped down with his halberd one after another. The unknown imperial soldier had to resist the attacks while protecting himself. He could not use his full strength and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

After once again catching Wang Ziyi's halberd's sweep, the imperial weapon finally couldn't bear it anymore and would be exposed if it continued to be hit.

After blocking the attack, this unknown imperial weapon suddenly opened a crack in the void, jumped in and disappeared, leaving the man in black here, waiting to die with his eyes closed.

Another assassin!
