Above the source of Tao

"It seems that we need to make a quick decision."

He held his breath and concentrated his mind. In an instant, his aura was like a rainbow. The air around him also made bursts of sounds, and the thin vital energy around him slowly gathered around him at this moment.

This is Yun Chang'an's momentum.

Soon, his momentum increased greatly, and he stood in front of the evil ghost like a god of war.

The evil ghost seemed to sense that Yun Chang'an had changed. It retreated violently backwards as if facing a formidable enemy, leaving a distance of more than ten meters between it and Yun Chang'an.

However, this was of no use to Yun Chang'an. As the sword energy around him rose to a new level, Yun Chang'an's eyes were fixed on the retreating evil ghost.

In just a moment, seven sword energies surrounded his body. As Yun Chang'an opened his eyes, the sword energy rushed out like a huge wave.

The evil ghost sensed something was wrong and transformed into a ball of black gas as if to resist the sword energy.

But he didn't know that he couldn't resist this sword energy at all.

In an instant, the black air was completely swallowed up by the seven sword energies, leaving only the evil ghost's body. His clothes also became tattered by the sword energy.

The evil ghost's body was just like his face, with dry skin and no luster, like a rotten dead tree, and the ribs on his chest were clearly visible.

The evil ghost half-knelt on the ground, bleeding profusely from the wounds on his body. Looking at the person in front of him, he knew he was no match for him, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and start the killing formation."

The ghost Taoist on the other side was also feeling bad, as he was entangled by the branches and unable to get rid of them.

This is Chu Xiaoxiao's martial art, called the Wooden Wheel Method.

This method is suitable for practitioners who have wood essence bones. It can transform their own essence into wooden branches, which can be changed into infinite forms and can be used for defense or offense.

Wooden branches entangled the old Taoist ghost. With the blessing of wood essence, even if the branches turned into black gas, they could still trap them and prevent them from escaping.

The branch turned into a sharp thorn and pierced into the body of the old Taoist ghost.

With a "puff", he spat out a mouthful of blood, but the more he struggled, the tighter he became.

The black-robed Taoist priest in the distance was extremely anxious when he saw that the two elders were beaten so badly that they could not fight back.

After hearing the evil ghost's words, he no longer hesitated and took out a token from his arms.

He took out a knife, cut open his palm, and injected his own blood into it.

In an instant, the entire formation was filled with black gas, which made Yun Changan and the others dare not be careless.

Air cones came from nowhere in the black air and attacked the two of them. There were so many of them that they were as dense as a swarm of locusts.

He could only resist the oncoming air cones, but even if he used his vital energy to resist the dense air cones, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Gradually, the air cones penetrated into the barrier formed by the vital energy and hit Yun Changan's forearm directly.

As time went by, the barrier formed by the vital energy could no longer withstand the dense air cones. Slowly, cracks appeared in the barrier and it was almost unable to withstand it.

"Young man Yun, there is a mysterious stone in the southwest corner. That is the center of the formation."

At this moment, a voice came from his mind, telling Yun Changan the key to breaking the formation. The owner of this voice was Hua Shichen.

Yun Chang'an looked towards the southwest corner of the formation, and sure enough, there was an inconspicuous little stone there. If one did not look specifically, one would not be able to see the little stone at all.

So Yun Changan resisted the air cone while transmitting a message to Chu Xiaoxiao, "I have found the center of this formation."

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Changan suspiciously, wondering how this guy found the center of the formation.

He understood what she meant and slowly moved towards the center of the formation.

After a moment, he reached the center of the formation and smashed the black stone with one palm. The formation was also destroyed, and gradually the gas cone disappeared.

"How can it be."

The evil ghost's eyes widened. The core of the formation was so hidden, yet these two people could find it and destroy it.

Yun Chang'an walked towards the evil ghost all the way until he arrived in front of the evil ghost who was still in shock, as if he had seen a ghost. At this time, Yun Chang'an was like a devil descending, holding the Chixiao sword in his hand, and chopped towards his head with a soul-slaying blow.

Soon, the evil ghost lost his breath and fell in a pool of blood.

The other two were also half-kneeling on the ground, knowing that the situation was hopeless, and kept begging for mercy. However, Chu Xiaoxiao was not someone to be trifled with, and she trapped the two of them with magic spells.

"Let me ask you, what are the uses of the pills sold in the city?"

The two men were so frightened that they didn't know how to speak. Chu Xiaoxiao didn't waste any words and cast a spell on their heads.

Soon, the two men's eyes became dull and indifferent, and Chu Xiaoxiao continued to ask about their conspiracy.

The two of them spoke out everything at once, like obedient children.

Afterwards, the two of them had splitting headaches, vomited white foam, and fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

"It seems that this matter is not over yet."

The person who truly controls this statue is in the royal city.

However, they didn’t know who it was. Usually, a man in black was in contact with them. They only knew that this person was from the royal city.

They didn't know who it was exactly, Gui Laodao and his men were just forced to join.

Their plan was to sell the "Blood Crying Pill" to everyone in the city, then trap Yun Changan and the other two here and start the "Sacrifice to God Plan".

As for the specific content of the "Sacrifice Plan", they only gave a rough outline.

It is said that all the people in the city will dedicate their blood and energy to the Venerable Shangxie in front of them.

This was a big plan, which made the two of them feel a little stressed. Maybe someone was watching their every move, and if they were not careful, everyone in the city would die.

So Yun Changan suggested searching the palace, perhaps there would be some new discoveries.

Han Lan is the key to entering the palace, but the problem is that they have not found any reason to enter the depths of the palace.

These three people were already dead, and if they walked out so brazenly, they would definitely be discovered. When they followed the Taoist priest in black into the palace, they found that the palace was heavily guarded.

There are many guards in the palace, divided into twelve teams, and each team has twelve groups. In each group, there are nearly a hundred guards who patrol back and forth in the palace.

Each group of 100 guards will have a group leader, and those group leaders are all experienced men who have survived the fighting on the battlefield.

Therefore, the strength of this guard should not be underestimated. If the person behind the scenes is alerted, the person might not come out.

Just before Yun Chang'an was about to leave this place, he disposed of the bodies of the three people and cleaned the place again until it was exactly the same as before no one came. Then he left.

However, the two of them did not know that once the formation was activated, they would be exposed and leave traces here that could not be erased.

Despite this, the place was still cleaned very well.
