Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Is that really the case?"

Lu Chen couldn't help but shook his head when he looked at the completely destroyed Tianxing Tower in front of him and the seal of Xingping County that was broken into several pieces.

Gu Simiao did not speak, but silently picked up the fragments of the official seal on the ground and put them into the space.

At this time, in the originally dark sky, thick dark clouds suddenly gathered directly above the county government office at high speed, forming a black vortex in an instant, covering the entire Xingping County.

The moonlight completely disappeared, and the starlight also lost its brilliance.

There was no more light in the sky over the entire Xingping County.

Darkness is about to swallow everything.

Seeing this scene, Gu Simiao didn't hesitate at all. She drew out the long sword from her waist and raised it high with one hand, pointing the blade straight into the sky.

boom!

The spiritual power burst out like a tidal wave without any reservation. The wave of spiritual power that seemed to be materialized quickly swept away in all directions. All the filth within the scope, whether it was the evil spirit, the epidemic spirit, or the resentment, was completely destroyed. They were all suppressed by the terrifying power of frost, and instantly collapsed without a trace.

The unique domain of the Guiyi Realm masters was fully demonstrated at this moment.

"coming."

Gu Simiao held the long sword tightly, and her spiritual power quickly gathered towards the blade.

The crystal clear sword suddenly shone brightly, and he kept thinking about countless ant-sized mantras emitting from the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, dozens of extremely mysterious magic circles were formed around the two of them.

At the same time, the vortex in the sky changed again.

Hua Hua Hua~

Accompanied by the roaring wind, streams of black mist began to fall rapidly towards Xingping County under the influence of twisted and huge force.

Ouch!

Within the county, wolf howls suddenly sounded in many places.

The people in the county were suddenly awakened. However, it was pitch dark outside, with black shadows passing by from time to time. Rustling sounds continued to sound, and a fishy smell even began to fill the air. With such a strange phenomenon, how could they dare to go out to see it? Find out?

I could only hide at home, pick up everything I could resist, and look at the doors and windows nervously.

When Lu Chen heard the howling of wolves, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.

Obviously, the enemy was well prepared. Not only did they bury the fierce half-demon in the county government office, but they also made arrangements in other places.

Even though Gu Simiao killed the wolf demon like a chicken, she thought the wolf demon was easy to deal with.

In fact, as a remnant of the demon clan that was once prosperous in ancient times, half-demon is born with a powerful body and innate spiritual skills. Even cultivators have to believe in dealing with it, let alone ordinary people. A wolf demon, casually You can kill hundreds of people like chickens.

Gu Simiao killed the wolf demon so easily just because she was Gu Simiao.

Now that a wolf monster suddenly appears outside, and the county magistrate and other local officials have not even seen a single figure so far, it is obvious what the local officials will do, and they can only count on the supervision of the Zhuxie Division stationed here. people.

But the other party was so well-prepared, and must have taken Zhuxie Division's combat power into account. Once the wolf demon was allowed to wreak havoc in the city, if nothing else, the people would suffer heavy casualties.

It's hard to imagine how serious the situation would have been if he and Gu Simiao hadn't happened to be here.

"no need to worry."

As if she noticed something strange about Lu Chen, Gu Simiao slowly said, "As long as I'm here, these beasts can't hurt anyone."

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her other hand, opened her mouth, and gently bit her thumb to create a bloody mark. Then she put her thumb on the blade of the sword and pulled it sharply towards the tip of the sword——

"Illusion Spell·Ice Butterfly."

With the activation of the spell, the space around the long sword suddenly became violently distorted, and then one after another palm-sized blue butterflies appeared out of thin air, flying rapidly in all directions.

The number of ice butterflies was very large, thousands, and they flew very fast. It only took a few breaths from appearing to leaving Lu Chen's sight.

Seeing these ice butterflies, Lu Chen recalled that when Gu Simiao was suspected of betraying the court a year ago, these blue butterflies were everywhere in Luojing.

Now it seems that this is obviously Gu Simiao's contracted beast. It can not only detect situations thousands of miles away, but also kill enemies.

Facts proved that Lu Chen's judgment was correct.

Not long after Bingdie left the county government office, there was not a single wolf howling within a radius of several hundred meters.

Lu Chen didn't know how the little Ice Butterfly killed those ferocious wolf demons, but since the powerful Guiyi Realm man took action himself, no matter what method he used, it was within common sense. As long as he knew the result, there was no need to care.

After summoning the ice butterfly to deal with the wolf demon that appeared in the city, Gu Simiao also held the hilt of the long sword with her other hand, and at the same time, she maximized the spiritual power in her body and concentrated it into the long sword.

Click click click.

The spiritual power that spread out continued to flow in all directions through the surface of the earth, quickly forming magic circles along the way, connecting with each other, causing the originally dark surface to slowly begin to glow.

The black mist in the sky is still spreading rapidly, and the front end has even touched the location where the spiritual protection formation was originally arranged.

It is about to completely cover Xingping County like a pot lid.

at this time--

"Immortal Way·Nine Overlapping Waves!"

Gu Simiao shouted loudly, and a blue light suddenly bloomed in her sharp eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the blue spiritual power that had spread to the point of showing off his strength suddenly solidified.

Click, click, click!

The incomparably huge giant formation was activated instantly, and the next second, the thick ice wall suddenly rose from the ground and spread toward the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Boom!

Only a dull loud noise was heard, and the black mist collided violently with the ice wall, instantly smashing countless ice shards on it.

Obviously, the black mist is not ethereal air, but extremely heavy.

Gu Simiao's figure trembled slightly, but there was not much wavering on her face.

She reached out her hand and grabbed it with her fingers.

"rise!"

The magic formula emerged, and the second ice wall rose again.

Followed by the third, fourth, fifth...

Until the final ninth layer of the ice wall merged, the entire Xingping County was finally completely wrapped in the ice wall, completely isolating it from the black fog outside.

After the initial blockade, dense golden spells began to appear quickly on the surface of the ice wall, and a dazzling golden light gradually bloomed in the sky, like the scorching sun in the sky, instantly dispelling all darkness.

"Zi!"

"ah!"

The moment the thick black mist touched the golden light, a shrill wail suddenly sounded inside, and the originally materialized matter began to disperse rapidly and gradually dissipated in the air.

The evil spirit that had been growing stronger in Xingping County also stopped gathering at this time.

"Um?"

Not far outside Xingping County, four figures holding soul-calling flags and hiding themselves in large black robes suddenly let out a startled sound.

"This ice wall has such strong immortal energy that it can actually block the erosion of the Tianjue Formation."

The leader of the mysterious man in black robe frowned and looked at the ice wall blocking the black mist in front of him.

"What's going on? Didn't that guy say that the spirit protection formation will be lifted before we take action? Where did this ice wall come from?"

The other man stretched out his withered right hand, his fingers changing rapidly.

After a moment, the black spiritual seal flew out of his body, and then quickly flew towards the ice wall.

However, the moment the Dark Spirit Seal touched the ice wall, it began to melt rapidly, disappearing completely within a few breaths.

Seeing this scene, the practitioner's eyes immediately froze.

He did not give up, but condensed his own essence and blood to strengthen the power of the spell.

However, although those dark spirit seals that had been strengthened several times barely penetrated the surface of the ice wall, they were still unable to penetrate into the interior. The seemingly ordinary ice wall was now like a chasm, blocking out all evil spirits.

Realizing that their own magic alone could never penetrate the ice wall and complete the last step of the ancient formation, the faces of the four people suddenly became ugly under their black robes.

"Even senior brothers from the Dzogchen Realm of Dongxu Realm can't shake it with all their strength. It seems that this ice wall has a similar effect even if it is not a spiritual protection formation."

The figure who was called the headmaster brother by several people groaned, and then slowly said: "The situation has changed. Junior brothers, please proceed with caution."

Such a large-scale defensive technique is likely to be some kind of large formation that is at least the heaven level prepared by the opponent in advance. After all, generally speaking, except for extremely special beings like the Holy King, almost no cultivators in this world can He can cast such a powerful spell by himself.

The stronger the effect of a spell, the more stringent the conditions for its activation. Most powerful spells are only performed with the blessing of a magic circle.

For example, the ancient formation-Tian Jue Tu they are currently performing was only possible after they prepared it for more than half a month and used thousands of living creatures as living sacrifices and added resources.

Although it is only a fragment, the magic that can withstand the ancient formation is absolutely extraordinary.

And since the opponent launched the high-level formation so quickly, he was obviously well prepared.

That is to say

"Exposed?"

One of them made a guess that no one wanted to admit.

A moment of silence followed.

After a while, the head master brother spoke again.

"It's too early to tell."

He held out the soul-calling flag and used his spiritual power to control it to float in mid-air, and then said: "Although the perception and communication techniques have been cut off, and the situation inside is unknown now, the Tianjue Formation has been activated, and the evil energy has also gathered. Most of us have invested so many resources, and there is no reason to give up halfway before we get the thousand-year earth spirit."

Hearing this, the other three couldn't help but nodded.

The ancient formation was not something that could be activated casually. Although some of the so-called big shots were involved, the remaining parts were enough to cause serious damage to their sect.

What's more, the Millennium Earth Spirit is a good thing that can further enhance the overall strength of their sect.

Now the Tianjue Formation has only not completed the last step, it is not completely ineffective, but its power has been slightly reduced, and the opponent has only activated the defensive array. If the opponent is really fully prepared, this Spirit Protection Formation will not work at all. It will not disappear, and they will not have the chance to launch the Tianjue Formation.

So, it’s not time to give up yet.

It's just that we can't do it head-on as originally planned.

As alien cultivators who are not recognized by the so-called decent sects and are called evil sects, they have many weird and unpredictable spells, half of which are self-protection spells.

After deciding to change their strategy, the four of them stopped talking.

Brothers who have been in the same school for many years, many things do not need to be explained too clearly. You can understand each other's meaning with just one look.

The ice wall blocked the inside and outside, and Gu Simiao was not aware of the situation outside for the time being.

After activating the Immortal Secret Technique, she, who had always been calm and calm on weekdays, now looked visibly depressed.

Obviously, even if she is a strong Guiyi Realm master, the scope of her spells is large enough to include the entire Xingping County, but the cost of performing the spells is still a bit reluctant for her.

The rise and fall of his chest was much greater than usual, and a trace of sweat broke out on his beautiful little face.

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask with concern: "Miss Gu, are you okay?"

"fine."

Gu Simiao waved her hand and her voice became a little rough.

"I'll just adjust my breathing a little bit."

After saying that, she sat cross-legged and took out two brown pills from the space and swallowed them in one gulp.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and said nothing to disturb Gu Simiao's recovery.

Now the people in the whole city are counting on Gu Simiao's life. At this critical moment, he can still distinguish the priorities.
