Chapter 989 Priest's Hall

During the fall, Shen Fuzhou suddenly screamed: “Those blue stones are sucking our spiritual power!”

Countless firefly-like blue lights gathered from all directions, and each point of blue light was connected to a thread-like stream of spiritual power.

Xuan Mu flipped the folding fan, and the twelve fan bones turned into green chains that connected everyone.

Luo Li used the force to spin around, and a formation talisman flew out of her sleeves -

The array talisman burst out with dazzling light, and the falling momentum of everyone stopped abruptly.

"This is..." Xie Shiyuan was surprised to find that they were floating in a blue sea of ​​stone, with a slowly rotating mirror city under their feet.

Countless azure crystals are embedded in the cracks of the mirror like stars, greedily sucking the energy of the world in the mirror.

Wen Xingyan suddenly pointed his sword somewhere: "There!"

Following the direction he pointed, everyone saw a transparent figure curled up in the center of the mirror - it was Xiaoyi humming a nursery rhyme.

The girl's body was surrounded by chain-like blue light, and every time a crystal stone flashed, wisps of black air were drawn out of her body.

"So that's how it is," Luo Li's eyes flashed with gold. "The entire city is a giant purification device. These blue stones are purifying these resentful spirits! And these blue crystals are absorbing our spiritual energy. This is probably because this mirror world has existed for too long, and the power of the blue crystals is almost exhausted."

As if sensing being spied on, Xiaoyi in the mirror suddenly looked up.

Her transparent body began to twist, and the nursery rhyme turned into a shrill cry: "Save me! Grandpa and the others have been..."

The crying stopped abruptly, and all the blue crystals burst out with strong light at the same time.

The mirror surface surged like boiling water, and countless skeletal arms broke out of the mirror!

Xuan Mu's chains tightened instantly: "He's waking up!"

In the real guest room, six people woke up at the same time.

It started raining outside the window at some point, and the rain was pouring down. The bronze mirror was intact, but the lotus seed soup on the table had already turned cold.

"jingle--"

Suddenly, a bell rang in the corridor.

Xiaoyi's voice drifted in through the crack in the door: "Sister, it's raining outside, please close the window!"

Accompanied by the sticky sound of some kind of mucus dragging.

Luo Li raised her fingertips, and a wisp of spiritual power silently sealed the crack in the door.

She turned around and gestured to everyone to keep quiet, with golden light flashing in her eyes, which was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

Xuan Mu's folding fan silently opened, and fine blood-red lines appeared on the fan.

Wen Xingyan's scabbard vibrated slightly, making a very light buzzing sound.

Xie Shiyuan held three silver needles between his fingertips, the tips of the needles glowing with a faint blue light.

"rustle--"

The sound of the dragging slime lingered outside the door and suddenly stopped in front of their door.

A pool of dark red liquid slowly seeped from under the crack in the door, with tiny blue crystal fragments floating in the liquid.

As the door opened, Xiaoyi's smiling face came into view, and those things disappeared again.

Luo Li said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyi, what's the matter with you coming here now?"

Xiaoyi walked in with a smile, "Didn't sister say she had some questions for Xiaoyi during the day? I'm free now, so I came over!"

"Is that so?" Luo Li smiled, lit the candle in the room, and moved aside to make room. "Come and sit down."

"Okay!" Xiaoyi came in skipping and jumping, seemingly completely unaware of the wary looks from the others.

Sitting at the table, she swung her legs and asked, "Sister, do you have any questions?"

Luo Li glanced at Xuan Mu and the others, then spoke tentatively, "We've just returned from training outside, and haven't been on the mainland for quite a few years. Seeing how prosperous Desolate City is now, is Desolate City now very important within the Taixu Feng clan's territory?"

The clan that has existed the longest on the Continent of Gods and has never changed its name is the Taixu Feng clan. Let’s try it out.

"Sister, are you confused?" Xiaoyi asked in surprise, "Desolate City is clearly in the territory of the Shenlong Clan!"

Hearing this, Luo Li knocked her head calmly, "Look at my memory."

"It's okay!" Xiaoyi patted her chest. "Xiaoyi knows everything! Just ask, sister!"

Xuan Mu and the others looked at each other without saying anything.

Luo Li said: "Okay, then I'll ask."

Xiaoyi smiled and nodded.

Luo Li tapped her fingertips. "We've just arrived in Desolate City and don't know much about this place, especially the High Priest of Desolate City. We've never heard of him before. So, Xiaoyi, can you tell me what we shouldn't do in Desolate City?"

Xiaoyi scratched her head, "Things you can't do..."

Her features wrinkled, "There's nothing you can't do in Desolate City!"

"Oh right!" She suddenly looked up and said, "The High Priest's residence is in the Priest's Hall in the heart of Desolate City. Outsiders are not allowed to enter normally. Sisters, please don't accidentally walk in, or the High Priest will be angry!"

When Xiaoyi said "the high priest will be angry", the candlelight suddenly stretched strangely, casting a distorted shadow on her face.

Luo Li noticed that the girl's pupils turned into gray-white vertical pupils at this moment, and then quickly returned to their original state.

"Where is the priest's temple?" Xie Shiyuan suddenly asked softly, the silver needle on his fingertips glowing faintly in his sleeve.

"Didn't Xiaoyi say it was right in the center of the city?" Xiaoyi gestured happily, "It's the tallest black tower! But..."

Her voice suddenly dropped. "The high priest has been in seclusion recently, and the soul-guiding lamps on the top of the tower have gone out..."

As if she suddenly realized that she had said something that she shouldn't have said, she

Luo Li and the others looked at each other in surprise. They had just seen the so-called high priest during the day, and Xiaoyi was also present. But why would she say now that the high priest was in seclusion recently?

But at this moment, they just smiled and had no intention of asking further questions.

Luo Li patted Xiaoyi's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Xiaoyi. You can go out first. We need to be careful. See you tomorrow."

Xiaoyi tilted her head and showed an innocent smile: "Okay, see you tomorrow!"

She jumped out of the room, but the moment she stepped over the threshold, her neck suddenly twisted 180 degrees: "By the way, sister——"

Under the candlelight, the corners of her mouth were cracked all the way to her ears: "You can't go out at midnight."

The door closed automatically with a bang.

The house fell into an eerie silence, the only sound being the rain hitting the window frames.

After a moment's silence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no strange noise outside the house.

But because I am in this strange place, I still dare not let go.

Xie Shiyuan covered his chest and whispered, "Ali, what should we do now?"

Luo Li paused with her fingertips, raised her eyes and said, "Priest's Hall."

"Huh?!" Shen Fuzhou asked in surprise, "Didn't Xiaoyi say we can't go out at night?!"

A cluster of blue flames ignited at Luo Li's fingertips, illuminating her brows and eyes. "The more she forbids me to do something, the more I have to find out what's going on. Otherwise, are we going to be trapped here forever?"
