Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 331 Breaking into the Imperial Household
Seeing the floating mountain that was split in half out of thin air, Zhao Yan's first thought was: What the hell is that bastard Gu Xu doing?

But after a while, she quickly realized that it was impossible for the two of them to use such a powerful attack move with the strength of their true energy suppressed to the early stage of the third realm.

The one who split the floating mountain must be someone else.

Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes and looked around vigilantly, trying to find this enemy hidden in the dark.

However, at the next moment, there was another violent earthquake and the mountain shook, accompanied by the sound of "rumbling", the floating mountain seemed to be cut into several pieces by this terrifying force, as if it was being cut into a cake.

I saw gravel volleying in the air and sand and soil flying.The vast expanse of blue sky suddenly turned gray.

At the same time, Zhao Yan looked down and suddenly caught Gu Xu's figure in this chaotic situation with her sharp eyes——

That bastard was riding a paper crane, diving straight down, chasing the silver wine cup that was falling fast.

She chased there without thinking.

But suddenly, as if drawn by an irresistible force, Yin Jiujiu changed direction and flew towards the farther sky like a meteor.

Zhao Yan's expression was serious.

Gu Xu also stopped suddenly in mid-air.

They all turned their heads and saw a dark-skinned young man with a haggard face in a dark blue gown standing in mid-air—the Silver Wine Shovel was flying towards his position.

The young man held a simple Feng Shui compass in his hand, and muttered mantras in his mouth.

"Bai Chen!"

Gu Xu recognized his identity the first moment he saw his appearance clearly.

Gu Xu remembered that not long ago, as a "commentary guest", he went to the South Gate of Luojing to watch the audition for the Luoshui Conference.

At that time, Bai Chen's skills in the arena—whether it was the control of "Qi" in Feng Shui, or his hidden swordsmanship, all left a deep impression on him.

In addition, because Bai Chen's method of constructing bad luck with feng shui evil energy is somewhat similar to the feng shui problem in the courtyard of businessman Yang Changfu, Gu Xu once had some doubts about him, thinking that there must be some ulterior secrets hidden in him.

Gu Xu once reported this matter to the Yamen of the Exorcism Department, and believed that the head of the department who has insight into everything in the world can properly handle this matter.

But for some reason, the Yamen's investigation of this matter has been standing still without any progress.

But at this moment, Bai Chen once again appeared in front of him with an unexpected posture.

The fighting method it adopts is almost exactly the same as the day of the audition - relying on the feng shui compass to affect the feng shui magnetic field in the surrounding environment, disturbing the balance of feng shui's "Qi", thereby triggering powerful energy.

The howling wind, the shattered floating mountains, the flying sand and stones...these are all written by Bai Chen.

But the reason why Gu Xu was surprised today was not because of how exquisite the feng shui spells that Bai Chen mastered, but because the strength of his true energy displayed at this moment was definitely not at the level that a normal early-stage cultivator in the third realm should have.

"No matter what, he must not be allowed to take away the Yinjiu." Gu Xu and Zhao Yan's minds came up with such thoughts at the same time.

However, just as the two of them flew straight towards Bai Chen, the compass in Bai Chen's hand suddenly shone brightly.

The invisible and intangible feng shui "Qi" in the air seemed to suddenly have a substance, weaving into an invisible cage, trapping Gu Xu and Zhao Yan inside, preventing them from moving forward.

Zhao Yan looked at the fast-flying Yinjiu, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes showed unwillingness.

She obviously didn't expect that she would fall to this place where she was only one step away from victory.

Gu Xu's eyes were deep, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

When Bai Chen stretched out his hand to catch the silver wine cup flying in the air, the surrounding Feng Shui aura was suddenly strongly disturbed, temporarily out of his control.

Yinjiuji also changed the direction of flight again, causing Baichen to fly into the air.

Gu Xu is not specialized in feng shui, and his cultivation at this moment is also suppressed by the rules of the secret realm, far inferior to Bai Chen, and it is impossible to subdue Bai Chen with one move.

But he was able to interfere with Bai Chen's spells, making it impossible for him to snatch the Yinjiu go in the first place.

As long as Bai Chen's movements slow down for a moment, he still has a chance to win the championship.

The next moment, the broken sand and stones in all directions lit up with orange-red flames, like stars in the sky, and like fireflies flying in countless summer nights.

Gu Xu and Zhao Yan got rid of the shackles at the same time.

"Burning Heaven Seven Styles, Yingyan."

Looking at the dreamlike flames all around, Zhao Yan instantly recognized the spell cast by Gu Xu.

Although she had heard about this legendary spell that claimed to be able to "break all spells", she was still deeply shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.

At the same time, Gu Xu didn't give himself any time to breathe.

His paper cranes are still in place.

But his figure has long since disappeared.

He has already performed "Meteor Walking the Moon" and went straight to the "Silver Wine Temple" in mid-air.

This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous move.

Because he has not reached the fourth level, he has not mastered the ability to fly the imperial weapon.

Once his calculations were wrong and he failed to accurately capture the silver wine goblet and send it to the royal vault, he would fall from a high altitude into the abyss and be out of the game.

But now that time is running out, he can't allow him to think about a safer way.

Facing an opponent like Bai Chen who can ignore the rules, he must take the risk.

Fortunately, this time, he bet right.

He appeared right next to the silver wine cup, reached out and grabbed its handle tightly.

The next moment, his vision became blurred.

An invisible force engulfed him and dragged him into the gap in space.

He felt as if he had fallen into a kaleidoscope, and the rapid swirl and flow of colors around him made him dizzy.

A few seconds later, he found himself in a completely new environment.

The shattered suspended mountains disappeared, and the sand and stones flying all over the sky disappeared.

In its place was a tall, spacious, dark room.

The room was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat clearly.

There are no windows here, and only a few oil lamps are used for lighting - Gu Xu can see that there are special formations carved on the side of these oil lamps, which can make them never go out.

And under the dim light, there are countless tiny dust dancing.

Rows of tall cabinets are neatly arranged.

On each cabinet door, there is a label affixed with the name of the contents in the cabinet.

"Is this the legendary 'Imperial Treasury'?" Gu Xu asked silently in his heart.

As he thought about it, he walked deeper into the warehouse, looking for the "astrolabe" that was about to belong to him.

…………

At the same time, in the secret realm.

Zhao Yan stood where she was, looking at the place where Gu Xu disappeared and the paper crane he left in the air, feeling very complicated.

She missed the first name by one step, and she was naturally regretful in her heart.

But she has always acted openly.In her view, if you are not as skilled as others, you are not as skilled as others - if you lose this time, you can go back to practice hard, and it will be fine if you win next time.

In addition, she, who has always been proud, is extremely rare to have the emotion of "admiration" for a peer.

Although Gu Xu has practiced for less than a year and is currently two realms lower than her, the combination of moves, cunning tricks, and decisive judgments he showed today impressed her deeply.

She had to admit that it was impossible for her to do better than him.

"He is indeed worthy of being the leader," she sighed softly. "Oh, it's a pity that I can no longer get the 'Flint' to activate the bloodline."

Just when she was feeling down, she suddenly felt a majestic and strange airflow not far away.

She raised her head, and found that Bai Chen's body was filled with thick black smoke, cold and gloomy, making him look like a ghost from the underworld.

His breath is also rising rapidly.

It soon surpassed the level of the fifth realm, and reached the sixth and seventh realms... In Zhao Yan's perception, the coercion on Bai Chen's body at this moment is no less than that of her father, the sage of Daqi Yan. Duke Zhao Changying.

"Who are you?" Zhao Yan asked alertly.

Bai Chen didn't speak.

After reaching the level of a saint, Bai Chen's strength still hasn't stopped growing, and it's still becoming stronger and more majestic.

At this moment, in Zhao Yan's perception, he no longer had the breath of life of a normal monk, replaced by the coldness of a dead body, the coldness of a tomb, and the decay of time.

"He is probably not human." She suddenly realized a terrible fact.

However, what is a ghost going to do to sneak into the secret realm pretending to be a human monk?
Also, since Bai Chen's identity is problematic, why did the saints of the Great Qi Dynasty allow him to enter the secret realm and participate in the conference?Is it because they didn't find out, or did they have other plans?
etc--

Not long ago, Bai Chen often visited Zhao's mansion, and had a good chat with her father Zhao Changying.According to his father, Bai Chen came to help build the house as a Feng Shui master.

At that time, did father know that there was something wrong with Bai Chen's identity?

Zhao Yan's thoughts became more and more chaotic.

She faintly felt that a huge conspiracy was quietly surfacing.

And at this moment, the black smoke around "Bai Chen" suddenly turned into countless sharp blades, tearing apart the space of the secret realm, and building a passage through the space out of thin air.

Zhao Yan is not a sage and strong, and she does not have the ability to cross space, but with her outstanding talent and rich knowledge, she can judge that the end of this space passage is the place where Gu Xu was just teleported to - the imperial vault .

"It seems that with his strength, if he wants to go to the imperial treasury, he doesn't need to compete with us for the silver wine cup," Zhao Yan thoughtfully, "he just wants to take this opportunity to obtain the spatial coordinates of the imperial treasury That's all."

After the space channel was formed, "Bai Chen" glanced at Zhao Yan, then turned around and walked towards it with strides.

His eyes are no longer haggard as before, but indifferent, arrogant, and vicissitudes, like an old king, looking down on all living beings from a height.

Zhao Yan quietly watched "Bai Chen" walk into the space passage.

A very bold idea suddenly popped up in her mind.

It was like a raging fire rekindling from the ashes, a new hope suddenly sprouted in her already completely desperate heart, which made her blood rush all over her body, and her heart pounded.

"The reason why I came to the 'Luoshui Conference' was not for the fame of the leader, but to get the 'Flint'," she thought, "If I follow this 'Feng Shui Master' through this space passage and enter the inner Ku, maybe you can take the 'Flint' away in the chaos."

Of course, Zhao Yan also knew that this was an act against the rules, and it was destined to offend the imperial court and the Daqi royal family.

But she has always been lawless in her actions. In the past few years, she has offended the royal family more than once.She believes her family has the ability to settle it.

What's more, in today's situation where powerful ghosts broke into the imperial treasury, presumably the Daqi court should not have extra energy to deal with themselves who sneaked in.

Thinking of this, she made a decisive decision, cast her body skills, turned into a phantom, and at the moment when the space channel was about to disappear, she "swished" into it.

…………

At this moment, Gu Xu was walking between rows of tall cabinets, looking for traces of "astrolabe" among the densely packed labels.

Suddenly, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and then the temperature in the room dropped sharply, and the lights became a bit dim.

He turned his head and saw Bai Chen's figure not far away.

But Bai Chen's demeanor is no longer as worried and haggard as before, but has become as cold as ice, with a contemptuous arrogance in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, why are you here?" Gu Xu asked tentatively.

From Bai Chen's body, he also noticed the terrible coercion and the breath of death, and his heart was filled with suspicion and vigilance.

Bai Chen glanced at him lightly, turned around and walked in the opposite direction, as if he didn't bother to answer his question at all.

Gu Xu also quickened his pace.

While continuing to search for the "Astrolabe", he took out the "Shenji Token" from "Xianyunju", preparing to report the strange situation here to the Exorcist Yamen and the saints.

A few seconds later, he heard another "bang" in the room.

The sound was not loud, but it seemed particularly abrupt in this silent environment.

He turned his head and saw Zhao Yan sitting on the ground at a glance.

Her black hair was disheveled and scattered on her shoulders, and there were several wounds on her pale skin like snow.

Since she has not reached the realm of a saint and is not proficient in the laws of space, it is not an easy task for her to forcibly break into the space channel constructed by others.

She inevitably suffered some injuries in the space crack.

But as long as she can successfully break into the royal vault, this little injury is nothing to her.

"It's just... let Gu Xu see me in such a mess again..." She thought silently, with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

"Miss Zhao, why are you here?" Gu Xu asked.He desperately wanted to figure out what was going on.

Zhao Yan quickly described what happened just now.

Even though a few minutes ago, these two darlings of heaven were still rivals, fighting fiercely for the silver wine cup.

But now, facing a powerful and unpredictable enemy, they unexpectedly chose to cooperate.
