Chapter 138 Tang Palace
Darkness is everywhere, and sin never ends. Where there is light, darkness always waits for an opportunity to move, and it can always pass through a gap and devour light. We cannot be sure when the hand of sin will reach out to ourselves, be uneasy and fear... We need some courage to struggle in the dark, hoping that the light will come soon.
It was another endless night, but Jingzhou City was so quiet that it made people feel frightened. The singing and dancing of the orioles in the past came to an abrupt end. There were very few pedestrians on the noisy streets. Even the brilliant starry sky was a few stars tonight. The bright moon was somehow hidden in the dark clouds.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and the sound was like a horse galloping, coming and going in the empty streets, endlessly. At the entrance of the street, a red lantern swayed in the wind, with a slight red light, and was so scattered. After several breaths, I saw that the figure rushing towards me was Wangchuan himself.
Wangchuan stopped, his arms were bulging, as if he was holding something big, and there was a red spot on his chest, but in the red light, it was difficult to tell whether it was blood or something else.
He looked around with a nervous look, as if the darkness was full of dangers. He breathed a sigh of relief. He turned and hid into the darkness and walked into the narrow alley leading to the south gate of the city.
At this moment, two white figures appeared at the entrance of the street, floating out of the darkness like ghosts, with a pale face, just like a dead person. Under the glimmer of red light, it looked even more terrifying. Especially the two magic weapons in their hands, which looked like ghosts in the underworld, looked like ghosts in the empty eyes, and made people feel cold. What are they humans or ghosts?
Just for a moment, the two of them did not touch the ground, as if a gust of wind drifted into the alley. After a while, a shrill cry came from the alley, as if the howling of ghosts and wolves, making their scalp numb.
In the blink of an eye, several white shadows flew from all directions, guarding the exits of the alleys. Several white shadows gathered together in the alleys, whispering, as if discussing something. A man in white wearing a ghost mask slapped two of them in the face and scolded him: "A bunch of waste! Even individuals can throw them away... This little thing cannot be done well, what's the use of you? In my opinion, you should just slap yourself and apologize!"
His voice was extremely sharp. Although he was a little lazy, he was so scared that the men in white were trembling all over, especially the two who were slapped in the face. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Sir, please spare me, please spare me! My subordinate was careless for a moment, so that the boy escaped. Please ask Mr. Tang to give me a chance to make meritorious contributions. My subordinates must catch the boy and force him to hand over the treasure."
"Your hands have been destroyed, what's the ability to hold that kid?" Tang Gong snorted coldly with a smile on his sleeve, scaring the two of them kowtowed repeatedly, and blood flowed from his arms.
Tang Gong turned around and looked at the two of them coldly, then a lazy voice came again, "Well, now it's time to use people. I will record your heads for now. If you return without success, you should know your fate. If the little duke doesn't support the useless people, I, Tang Gong, can't afford to lose this person!"
"I understand, thank you Mr. Tang."
"Get up, Lian Yucheng thought he could hide the truth. Such a clumsy trick could be hidden from others, but I can't hide it from me. The little thief was unknown, but his martial arts were of some origin. You guys must capture him alive. I have something to ask him when he turned around." Tang Gong looked at his slender fingers carefully, as if he was enjoying the beautiful scenery, his lips were slanted, and his evil smile was revealed. He was thinking about it in his heart. He would grab the kid later and take out the martial arts he said, hehe... At that time, this stagnant state would go further, and the position of elders was not at your fingertips.
The white shadows of the people in the alley and on the roof flashed and disappeared into the darkness. Tang Gong walked in the alley in the garden, as if he was confident about capturing Wangchuan. He looked up at the stars in the sky, "What a pity, such a good night, but he could only admire himself."
Just after taking a few steps, a dazzling light rose from his feet, and five pillars of light fell from the sky. Several silver chains in the star formation flew towards the Tang Palace in an instant, and then a figure fell in front of the Tang Palace.
Tang Gong, bound by the magic circle, looked at the man in front of him lightly, with a wicked smile on his lips. Wangchuan felt a thump in his heart when he saw this. He felt something was wrong. When he was about to make seals to attack Tang Gong, he heard Tang Gong say lazily: "I tell you who is it? It turns out that he is the little brother who defeated all the heroes two days ago. The little brother, he is not at the inn late at night, why do he attack me, Mr. Tang?"
"I have never known Zunjia, why did I send someone to follow me all the way? What I said in the alley just now can be clearly heard. Is your actions a gentleman doing?" Wangchuan snorted coldly, made a seal in his hand, and the Dongxu Sword made a light sound.
"Little brother's words made Tang frightened. Is there any real evidence to say that Tang sent someone to follow you? Tang really can't bear such slander." Tang Gong said slowly, lowered his eyebrows and looked at the chains wrapped around his body and the magic circle under his feet, and said lightly: "What's the explanation? The little brother took action against Tang without asking. If Tang was really hostile, how could he be slaughtered? I heard that a young hero came to Jingzhou City. He wanted to make acquaintance, but he just saw him today."
Seeing that Tang Palace was so clever, Wangchuan stopped arguing with him, and said straight to the point: "The thief called to catch the thief. The inn was also an ambush you set up before. What are your plans to follow me?"
"I'm so anxious that I can't eat hot tofu. My little brother is so anxious that I really let this beautiful night down." Tang Gong laughed twice, and suddenly his face changed. His originally playful face turned very cold. "You took something that does not belong to you. If you have self-knowledge, now I will hand it over. Tang thinks that it is not easy for you to practice, so I will spare your life."
"Your Excellency is quite puzzled. You insist that you have taken what you should take, and you don't know what you have taken so much trouble? Even if you accidentally get something, how can you be sure it is yours?"
Wangchuan looked at the other party secretly. He saw Guihai Yice's shadow from the Tang Palace, which was as evil and perverse as the difference was that the Tang Palace was less domineering and arrogant.
"The wise man doesn't say a code word. Tang knows that the Lei Lingzhu is on you. If you know the truth, hand over the Lei Lingzhu. Tang can spare your life. I advise you not to play tricks. Your strategy is good to deceive a three-year-old child. It is too young to deceive Tang. You might as well tell you the truth. Lian Mansion has been surrounded by us, and even the people in the Mansion cannot fly. Before dawn, if Tang cannot bring Lei Lingzhu, the whole house will not keep the chickens and dogs. You should be able to tell me which is more important, right?"
Tang Gong was bound by chains. He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, smiled and sighed, his eyes cold and joking, and he looked at Wangchuan as if he was looking at a lion and looking at the lamb to be slaughtered.
Seeing the Tang Palace indifferent, Wangchuan could not help but think about it. He had already predicted the encirclement of the mansion and made arrangements in advance. However, the only thing that was not sure was the forces behind the Ning clan. How many people were in Jingzhou City and how many cultivators were above the Taixu Realm.
Even if there are one or two cultivators in Taixu Realm, Wangchuan doesn’t have to worry too much. With Youruo’s cultivation level, it doesn’t take any effort to deal with a cultivator in Taixu Realm. It is not difficult for Ouyang Feiyu and other senior sisters from Baihuagu to join forces to restrain a cultivator in Taixu Realm. What they are afraid of is that there are too many enemies above Taixu Realm. Youruo, Ouyang Feiyu and others protect themselves, but even Yucheng and Ji Xueqing have no time to take care of their personal safety.
The reason why Wangchuan hurriedly left Lianfu was to distract Ning's attention and at the same time find out the enemies hidden in the dark, so that he could turn passive into initiative and lead those in the dark to the light.
However, unexpectedly, these enemies were moved too fast. Wangchuan was ambushed as soon as he entered the inn. However, the people who were ambushed in the inn were not very good at cultivation, and they were all enemies in the early stages of the True Virtue Realm and the Cave Xuan Realm. Even cultivators of the same level had no choice but to use Wangchuan. These people with lower cultivation levels than Wangchuan were naturally slashed one by one by the Dongxu Sword.
Leaving the inn, Wangchuan rushed in Jingzhou City and pretended to panic to escape. Sure enough, a group of enemies with higher cultivation followed in secret, successfully attacked one after another, and more enemies in Jingzhou City rushed towards him. Wangchuan used his skills to break through the siege and the number of enemies tracking him was increasing. Wangchuan believed that he still succeeded in this move and held most of the Ning family's hands.
But when Wangchuan saw the Tang Palace's clear-headed appearance, he became suspicious again. Could it be that my plan was really discovered? The Ning family sent people to surround me that night, was it to confuse me? Thinking of this, he denied this speculation. The Tang Palace just said it was clear that it was clear that the Lei Lingzhu was on me. Since they were looking for Lei Lingzhu, how could they send all the masters to Lianfu and let some low-cultivation cultivators chase me? Do they think that as long as they took Lian Yucheng, Ji Xueqing and others and used this as a threat, I would submit?
Wangchuan thought that Ning's family would not be so stupid, so they must have left behind the trick.
"It seems that you have to face a fierce battle!" He sighed secretly, looked up at Tang Palace and said, "Baihua Valley is a famous sect today. His disciples are amazing and beautiful. It is probably not easy for you to win the disciples of Baihua Valley? Even if your people really have their own skills, aren't you afraid of the people of Baihua Valley taking revenge later?"
Tang Palace burst into laughter and said disdainfully: "Compared with the Thunder Spirit Pearl, the only Baihua Valley is worth mentioning. Not to mention killing a few disciples, what are you afraid of even razing Baihua Valley to the ground?"
"Oh? I don't even take Baihua Valley seriously, aren't I afraid of the wind flashing my tongue?" Wangchuan was shocked. Tang Palace was just a leader, but he was so arrogant and didn't take Baihua Valley seriously. It was obvious that he had some support. The power behind him must have a great background.
He needs to have more information to understand clearly who the real enemy is.
"I'm really interesting. If you want to mess with someone Tang's words, this trick is not enough. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat, I advise you to have something that is not good, otherwise it will cause trouble and no one can save you."
Tang Palace saw through Wangchuan's intentions, but was not angry. Instead, he was still extremely lazy. "Since you talk about Baihua Valley, Tang might as well say a few more words to let the little brothers know more. Although Baihua Valley is a famous family, it is actually a strong man on the outside and the middle. Liang Shiyin, the former sect leader, disappeared for fifteen years. The current sect leader is just a young girl. Now Baihua Valley is just relying on the lingering shade of his ancestors to survive." Tang Palace said.
After Tang Palace's words, Wangchuan was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the huge Baihua Valley would have such an experience. Why did Liang Shiyin, the leader of Baihua Valley, disappear? Wangchuan still had no energy to pay attention to it. Seeing Tang Palace so proud, Wangchuan felt a little unhappy and argued: "The various sects of cultivation are the same. Even if Baihua Valley declines, other sects will not sit idly by and wait for the people of the devil to do whatever they want."
"The same spirit and the same spirit?" Tang Gong seemed to hear a huge joke and couldn't help laughing. After a moment, his face became gloomy and perverse. "Absurd! The strong prey in the world of cultivation, slaughtering fellow disciples, and eliminating dissidents. What is the difference between righteousness and demons? Those who are arrogant and claim to be the right path will decide the life and death of others based on their own misunderstandings. Once they go against their will, they will be called the devil's way and kill. Is this the right way or the devil's way? If they really have the same spirit and the right way, why..."
Tang Gong seemed to have said pain, his whole body trembled, his whole face became extremely ferocious, like a man-eating beast roaring at Wangchuan. After a moment, he suddenly calmed down, "Little brother, I've talked too much tonight. Tang asked you, will you be with Lei Lingzhu?"
"What if I don't give it?"
"I said, if you play tricks, the Tang Mansion, including your confidants, will die for it. As for you, do you know what the most painful thing in this world? I will let you know what it means to live, not to die, not to die." Tang Palace said coldly.
"For the sake of Lei Lingzhu, I was willing to harm the lives of hundreds of innocent people. It was really despicable and shameless." Wangchuan cursed.
"Despicable? If Lian Fengxiao had not been connected with foreign enemies in the Jingyun Rebellion in the past, causing hundreds of thousands of troops of Chen State to die, and the Duke of Ning State was exiled, wouldn't Lian Fengxiao be despicable? What's wrong with Tang asking the members of the Ning clan to return Lei Lingzhu as compensation?"
"Why do you believe in one-sided words? If Lian Fengxiao really understands the enemy inside and outside, why doesn't the current emperor blame the Lian clan? It's true, everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart, so why should you find any more remarks? There is no need to argue about which Jingyun Rebellion is true or not. Since you want to seize the Lei Lingzhu, you should see the truth from your hands." After Wangchuan said that, two sharp gazes shot out from his eyes. With a wave of the Dongxu Sword, dozens of flying swords fell in the air and slashed towards the Tang Palace.
"I dare to be arrogant. Mr. Tang, I will take your life today!" Tang Palace's pale face was extremely ferocious. He heard a angrily shout. The chains that were originally wrapped around him were broken into several pieces in an instant. A black folding fan appeared in his hand. It was just a wave in the air, and a strong wind rushed into the sky, destroying the dozens of flying swords that fell.
Wangchuan was shocked. Tang Palace easily broke free from the shackles of the magic circle and resolved his attack with just one move. Moreover, Tang Palace did not seem to have done all his strength in this move, but was just a casual work. Since Wangchuan left Moyan Town, he has encountered such a powerful enemy for the first time. His cultivation level may not have to be low, and even much higher than Youruo.
Without the constraints of the magic circle, the Tang Palace did not leave Wangchuan free time. When he moved his body, the light flashed on the folding fan, and a strong wind roared. The rubble on the building on both sides of the lane flew up, and the wind was like a sharp blade slashing towards Wangchuan. Wangchuan subconsciously jumped up to avoid the sharp blade of the strong wind.
Tang Gong sneered evilly, and the folding fan was extremely agile in his hand, like a black butterfly flying on his right palm, while his left hand was on his back, not taking Wangchuan in his eyes at all. With a wave of the white long sleeves, the folding fan drew a light in the air. Its speed was so fast and its attack was so sharp that it was like a sharp blade that cut off the night and divided it into two.
At this time, Wangchuan had come to his senses and had no time to pinch his fingers and recite the tricks. He just horizontally pushed the Dongxu Sword to his chest and hit the sword with a folding fan. An energy fluctuated in the air, and Wangchuan was shaken away.
The Tang Palace's martial arts seem soft and weak, but in fact the offensive is extremely fierce. What's even more terrifying is that the Tang Palace seems to know the direction of Wangchuan's next step. Whenever Wangchuan's body movements change and he stabilizes his body, the Tang Palace's folding fan artifact has already attacked. Half the candle incense comes, Wangchuan is tired of avoiding the attack of Tang Palace, but he is still unable to approach him. Wangchuan is already injured in the battle.
On the other hand, Tang Palace was extremely cruel, but it did not cause fatal damage to Wangchuan. Even during the battle with Wangchuan, he still looked lazy and did not seem to be in a hurry to take Wangchuan's life, as if he was teasing a prey that reached his mouth.
Unknown to Lian’s situation, Wangchuan was very worried about the safety of Youruo, Ouyang Feiyu and others. He wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, but he was helpless in the face of Tang Palace, and he couldn’t help feeling anxious. It seems that only by fighting for the current plan, he might be able to win a little chance.
He made a fuss in his heart and used the Pure Yang True Art to the extreme. The golden light was radiant all over his body, and the protective energy was extremely hot. The sweat beads on his face had just slid down and turned into a wisp of white energy.
"Pick up the sword and return to the elixir to determine the five elements, return to the original and restore the sword. The dragon heart hangs its left foot to cross the clouds and sky to the stars." Wangchuan said the magic formula, and formed a sword seal in his hand. The sword pointed out, and a dazzling golden light penetrated into the Dongxu Sword. The Dongxu Sword buzzed, and a whooshed through the sky, smashed the dark clouds, and the silver light of the stars in the sky shone. The vast light fell down, illuminating the entire alley as daytime. A huge five-element magic array appeared, and the five prison dragon chains with one color each tied the Tang Palace again with a rustling sound.
The Tang Palace activated the exercises and used enough magic power to reuse the same trick. He broke free from the chains of the prison dragon, but suddenly found that the true energy was hard to raise, as if the gate of the Yuan Mansion had been shackled, leaving only a gap. The true energy of the Yuan Mansion was transferred into the meridians like a silk thread.
Although the use of true qi is insufficient, it is enough for the Tang Palace. Cracked cracks appeared on the chains of the cage, and the cracks became larger and larger. The power of the stars shot into the array of stars was even more powerful, and the cracks were constantly repaired.
Seeing this, Tang Gong couldn't help but exclaim, thinking, this kid's cultivation is mediocre, but this body of martial arts is really mysterious, and he can actually imprison my cultivation. I don't know what luck has been. If I have this technique to help me, my cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. At that time, the sect leader will also treat me differently, and the position of the elder is not at your fingertips.
Thinking of this, when Tang Gong was about to speak, he heard: "Holding the sword out of the sheath, Yin and Yang touching, the jade dragon raised its head and roared the wind and clouds. The dragon roared and followed it, and the magic needle in the blue waves was strange." I saw a long rainbow running through the sky, the sky was like the fire clouds, the wind was howling, and the dark clouds surging to one place. I saw an extremely huge dragon head gradually rising in the dark clouds, thunders were shaking everywhere, and the wind and clouds were changing and stirring, and the sound of the dragon roar continued.
Wangchuan stepped on the Tiangang Beidou, walked along the dragon and snake, and the blue waves under his feet. He rushed towards the Tang Palace with his sword, as if he was walking on the waves, and the surging pressure rushed down. With a deafening dragon roar, a huge shadow rushed towards the Tang Palace in the waves. A trembling sound in the alleyway, the houses on both sides collapsed, and dust flew.
After the wind and smoke, Tang Gong stood firm. The cage chains that were originally wrapped around him disappeared. His sword fingers actually clamped the Dongxu Sword. Wangchuan stared at Tang Gong in disbelief. He moved slightly in his throat and a mouthful of blood was overflowing. He saw a black folding fan that was almost sinking into his body.
Tang Gong smiled on his face, licked the cleaved corners of his lips with his tongue, and moved his left hand on his back slightly. The folding fan flew out from Wangchuan's back. Blood was dripping from the fan, and then Wangchuan's wound was bloody like a spring. Tang Gong loosened the sword fingers of Dongxu Sword, and Wangchuan knelt on the ground with a thud, pulling the wound, and coughing out two mouthfuls of blood.
"Little brother, you and me have too many strengths, so why should you resist and destroy yourself?" Tang Gong did not rush to take action, and tsk a few times, looking at Wangchuan in front of him, as if he felt a little regretful.
Wangchuan forced himself to stand up. He was almost a bloody man at this moment. He endured the pain and said, "Since the moment he left Lian Mansion, I have no intention of living. You want to snatch the Thunder Spirit Pearl unless I die."
Tang Palace laughed sinisterly and said a few times, "The bones are quite hard!" As he said that, he kicked Wangchuan away with one foot. Then he appeared in front of Wangchuan who was kneeling down and said, "What a pity, I am young, but I have to waste my life for a few irrelevant people. Is this secular morality more important than your life?"
"As you as cruel and ruthless, bullying the weak, and for your own selfishness, and harming innocent demons is worthy of talking about morality with me?" Wangchuan spat out of blood, delaying time and secretly using his skills to heal his wounds. "What is the difference between practicing Taoism and the Demon Sect's disciples? Maybe you are looking down on you, you are an evil thief in the Demon Sect!"
"Looking for death!" Tang Gong snorted coldly, raised his leg and kicked again. Wangchuan flew out again. Tang Gong walked to Wangchuan slowly and said sternly: "All the people in this world who speak ruthlessly to Tang have long turned into loess. They should have killed you directly, but I think you are a bit talented and brave. Tang is willing to spare your life and even consider accepting you as a disciple and passing on what you have learned throughout your life. As long as you obediently present the Thunder Spirit Pearl and the coefficient of the practice you have practiced."
Wangchuan sneered, "I'm afraid that if I'm offering the thunder spirit beads and martial arts, you will take my life immediately."
Tang Palace's face was exposed, his anger suddenly appeared, his whole body's momentum became cold and fierce, and a pressure directly pressed towards Wangchuan, but he returned to calm in a blink of an eye and said lazily: "Boy, this is your only chance to survive. You should be clear that Tang has a hundred ways to search your soul and kill your spirit in this body of martial arts. If Tang really wants to kill you, it is as simple as crushing an ant, so why bother with you?"
"Actually, it's easy for you to practice my martial arts. As long as you change your mind and never do anything against chivalrous things from now on. Kowtow three more times, you can consider teaching you the martial arts." Wangchuan said in a retort.
"It's just playing the piano against a cow. Boy, since you are so obsessed with ancient times, don't blame Tang for being ruthless, go to die!" Tang Gong was furious, and the cold light of the folding fan flashed in his hand, which was more than a few times. The coldness of the coldness continued to vent. Tang Gong held the folding fan and slapped it, just like Mount Tai pressing the top, as if the Forget River would turn into meat paste in an instant.
Chapter completed!
