Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

In the abyss of the sea, there lurks an incomparable monster with a strange appearance and a strong breath of death.

It has a huge body, and its pitch-black skin is like a dark cloud pressing down on the sky, with a strange luster flowing through it.

Its body is like a giant island, with eight thick tentacles extending from both sides of its huge body.

The end of the tentacle is as sharp as a poisonous snake, and the sharp suction cup is covered with layers of depressions.

The monster's face was shrouded in a layer of deep black mist, and its looming features exuded a heart-pounding aura.

This monster is none other than the demon king in the Spirit Transformation Realm, Heiyuan.

Next to it is another demon king in the incarnation realm, the Black Turtle.

Compared with the huge Black Abyss, this black turtle looks so small. Its body is only four feet long, just like an ordinary turtle.

The Black Turtle is revered by the demon clan as the Sea Master and is the most mysterious creature in the sea.

Heiyuan slowly turned to the black turtle and asked, "Old turtle, are you really sure that Zhao Beijun is not in the imperial city?"

"You have asked this question three times. I have used divination to calculate that Zhao Beijun is really not in the imperial city."

The black tortoise raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, and continued: "You have to hurry up and act. If Zhao Beijun returns to the imperial city, our plan will fail."

The dark tentacles of the Black Abyss waved violently, and a huge whirlpool immediately arose on the sea surface.

......

......

The sky over the imperial city suddenly became gloomy, as if it was enveloped by an invisible force.

The originally azure sky was gradually swallowed up by thick dark clouds. The clouds were like a huge net, pressing down tightly and impenetrably.

The sun in the distance was completely obscured, the light quickly disappeared, and an unsettling grayness filled the sky and the earth.

The people in the city stopped what they were doing and looked up.

They thought it was just a sudden downpour.

As time went on, the clouds grew thicker and the wind became stronger.

Just as the people were preparing to find a place to shelter from the rain, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky.

Dark shadows began to emerge from the thick clouds and descend.

Black shadows emerged from the thick clouds and gradually became clearer. Those black shadows turned out to be octopus monsters!

They fell from the sky, their huge bodies covering the sky, and their tentacles were several feet long, covered with hard scales and sharp suction cups.

Their skin exudes a strange luster, and the appearance of each monster makes the atmosphere in the sky more depressing.

The people were terrified and fled in all directions, unable to understand why such a horrifying monster would fall from the sky.

Just as the people were fleeing in panic and the octopus monster began to wreak havoc, several bright lights suddenly lit up on the walls of the imperial city.

The golden runes danced in the air like a hovering dragon, quickly condensing into a huge formation.

The golden light emitted by the formation was strong and bright, protecting the entire imperial city.

The octopus monsters waved their tentacles and frantically hit the golden barrier emitted by the formation. The tentacles collided with the barrier, making a thunderous sound.

Every collision caused waves, like huge waves hitting rocks, and the air was distorted in the shock.

But no matter how they attacked, this formation was like an indestructible mountain, standing still.

The formation tightly wrapped the entire imperial city. No matter how turbulent the outside world was, everything inside remained safe and sound.

The formation protecting the imperial city cannot be broken even by a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

When the people saw this scene, they stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

They had only heard before that there was a formation in the imperial city that could protect them.

They just had never seen it.

Some people thought that as long as the monks from the Xingtian Division took action, the crisis would be resolved.

But something unexpected happened.

The light of the formation began to dim slowly.

The formation gradually loosened, the golden light dissipated bit by bit, and finally receded quietly like the tide.

When the people in the city saw the light disappear, they fled in all directions again.

At this time, the octopus monster's body began to change.

Their bodies gradually shrank, their black scales gradually faded, and their tentacles slowly shrank, turning into men and women dressed in ordinary people's clothes.

They transformed into humans and became no different from ordinary people.

The octopus monsters shuttled through the crowd and mingled with them.

"Be careful of the demons mixed in with the crowd and protect the residents in the city!"

A soldier from the Xingtian Division shouted urgently, looking nervous.

At this moment, a figure appeared above the imperial city.

The man waved his hand slightly, and the void under his feet shook violently, and a sword formation appeared.

Within the sword formation, countless sword energies condensed in the air.

Sword lights flew towards all parts of the imperial city, like a rain of swords falling.

These sword lights did not attack ordinary people. Although they also fled in panic, the sword lights seemed to consciously avoid them and only attacked the octopus monsters hiding in the crowd.

Every time a ray of sword light fell, it took the life of a monster, and the moment the monster died, its body turned into countless black smoke and disappeared into the air.

Some monsters tried to escape, but the sword light did not let them go.

Before the fleeing monsters could run far, they were caught up by the sword light, which pierced their bodies in an instant, turning them into afterimages and completely disappearing.

In addition to fear and confusion, the people's eyes were filled with awe and shock.

They felt an inexplicable sense of security as they watched the monsters being killed one by one like ants by the ruthless sword light.

They knew that these sword lights would not hurt them.

Ordinary people could feel the wind pressure when the sword light passed by them, but the sword light never touched their bodies.

"Captain, the deputy leader of the Sword Sect has taken action. It seems that we have no chance here." A cultivator from the Xingtian Division said in a low voice, with gratitude and admiration in his eyes.

The captain nodded and said, "It seems to be the case."

These octopus monsters are only at the fourth level. Facing cultivators at the Spirit Transformation level, they simply cannot survive for long.

Although the monks of Xingtian Division can deal with these monsters, it takes a lot of time to find them one by one.

Zhong Zhuanghai stood in the air, his aura as majestic as a mountain, his eyes as sharp as swords, watching the situation below.

Those octopus monsters hiding in the crowd were killed one by one.

The sword formation slowly shrank, and finally turned into a light breeze and disappeared silently.

Zhong Zhuanghai raised the sword in his hand and pointed the tip of the sword at the thick dark clouds.

He swung his sword, and the sword light cut through the sky and pierced the clouds.

The sword light contained an extremely sharp sword energy, which easily tore through the dark clouds. The dark clouds rolled violently, as if they were torn apart by an invisible force.

As the clouds collapsed, a huge figure slowly emerged, its dark body emitting an evil aura.

Its eyes were like two huge black gems, staring at the Zhongzhuang Sea below.

"Heiyuan, what do you want to do?" Zhong Zhuanghai asked.

Originally he thought he didn't need to take action, after all, the imperial city was protected by a formation.

But for some unknown reason, the formation suddenly became ineffective.

Zhong Zhuanghai saw monsters blending into the crowd and realized that if he relied solely on the monks of the Xingtian Division to deal with it, there would probably be a large number of casualties among the people.

Before leaving the imperial city, Zhao Beijun entrusted him to help resolve any special situations that arose.

Heiyuan did not answer, but swung its huge tentacles violently and pounced towards Zhong Zhuanghai.

Each of its tentacles is as heavy as a mountain, bringing with it storms.

Zhong Zhuanghai raised his sword again, and the long sword swept through the air, turning into a dazzling light and heading straight into the abyss.

The sword energy surged and cut off the tentacles in an instant. The sword light did not stop, but shot straight towards Heiyuan's huge body with extreme murderous intent.

A black smoke gushed out from the monster's body, and the monster's huge body quickly shrank and gradually dissipated in the air, turning into countless tiny black dots, and finally disappeared without a trace.

This is just a clone of Heiyuan, with only the strength of the sixth level.

Heiyuan can separate a part of its own life force to form an illusory clone. It can have three clones at a time.

It can change its form, extending or shortening its tentacles, and can even temporarily alter the appearance of its body to disguise itself as another creature or object.

It is able to completely blend itself into its surroundings.

Heiyuan's skin can automatically adjust according to the surrounding colors and textures, making it easy to hide in the clouds, sea or jungle.

It also has the ability to hide its own demonic aura, smell and sound by changing its breath and aura, making it difficult for even enemies with keen perception to detect its presence.

Zhong Zhuanghai's expression gradually became solemn.

He didn't know why Heiyuan sent a clone to the imperial city, but he knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

Not long after Zhao Beijun left the imperial city, Heiyuan attacked the imperial city, and the formation protecting the imperial city became ineffective.

If these things go together...
