Long before Shen Yuan opened the Fang Cun Secret Realm, he secretly arranged for Gong Buyu to stay in the imperial capital as a backup.

The Fangcun Secret Realm was created by Shen Yuan himself. It would be fine if it was just to fool other people, but there was no need to let Gong Buyu enter it.

What's more, through several contacts, Shen Yuan vaguely understood Emperor Xia's character.

The Great Xia Emperor's desire to regain control is so strong that he almost does not hide it. All the monks from the blessed lands have gone to the Fang Cun Secret Realm. Emperor Xia will definitely take advantage of this good opportunity to prepare for the City God Ceremony.

Once the preparations for the City God Ceremony are completed, Xia Yunqiu will lose her last value, and Emperor Xia will inevitably take action against her.

Letting Gong Buyu stay in the imperial capital can protect Xia Yunqiu at the critical moment.

Slowly stepping into the hall on the first floor of Wuxuan Pavilion, the cold air spread silently around, and the biting cold turned the hall into a world of ice and snow.

The aura around Gong Buyu has improved further compared to a few days ago, and he has entered the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

With Gong Buyu's talent, there was no threshold for cultivation before refining the spirit. The progress in the first few months was relatively slow because it took a lot of time to comprehend the moon-grabbing magic and the Taiyin Avenue.

Now that the moon-taking magical power has been achieved, the speed of cultivation has naturally returned to its peak.

"Fairy Palace!"

Xia Yunqiu showed a look of surprise. The last time, it was Gong Buyu who helped her to repel the genius from the sect and family and saved her.

Since that incident, Xia Yunqiu has been trying to find out more about Gong Buyu from various sources.

When Xia Yunqiu learned that Gong Buyu was not only the only daughter of an immortal, but also a disciple directly taught by the Supreme Taoist, she began to have some vague guesses about Shen Yuan's identity.

It was Gong Buyu who came to help this time when they were in desperate situation. Xia Yunqiu became more certain of this guess.

However, now is not the time to think about the Taoist's true identity. Xia Yunqiu's joy faded a little, and he said solemnly:

"This person's cultivation is at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm, and he has some special means that can secretly imprison his magical powers. Please be careful, Fairy Gong!"

The man in black robe glanced at Xia Yunqiu, and his face hidden in the shadow became a little gloomy.

“I didn’t expect that when so many monks from blessed caves and paradises went to the Fangcun Secret Realm to seek opportunities, there was actually a great monk who had attained the state of incarnation lurking in secret.

You are so scheming, I will not let you go today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed man's cultivation at the peak of the Divine Transformation stage burst out without reservation, and a wave of magical power mixed with chaos, like that of a demonic cultivator, spread from his body to the entire Wuxuan Pavilion.

The surrounding world of ice and snow seemed to be stained with a terrifying blood color. In the shadows of the blood-red ice crystals, invisible evil spirits uttered chaotic whispers.

"What kind of magic technique is this?"

Xia Yunqiu couldn't help but be shocked. Gong Buyu also frowned slightly at this moment. She could feel that the fluctuation of magic power revealed by the man in black robe was trying to seize the control of this world of ice and snow.

Taking the Seven Star Steps, Gong Buyu swung the long sword forged from ice crystals at the man in black without hesitation.

Gong Buyu's cultivation has reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and he possesses many supernatural powers. His strength is no longer limited to his realm. The sword light rising into the sky seems to chop the entire Wuxuan Pavilion into pieces.

The man in black robe let out a sinister laugh and took a step back. His body seemed to have merged into this world. The deep darkness swallowed up the sharp sword light.

Against the background of blood and darkness, the wide black robe waved gently, covering Gong Buyu like the night.

Mysterious supernatural power·Mahakala!

The long sword in Gong Buyu's hand slashed down again without any pause, and as the sword intent slashed out, the cold weather at the end of the year burst out with a bang, and the false night sky seemed to be frozen by the ice of the heaven and earth.

Cracks appeared on the dark sky, and the terrifying coldness ignored the power of supernatural powers and forcibly froze Mahakala.

However, at this moment, there was a strange movement in the thick darkness, and an inexplicable hoarse whispering sound echoed at this moment, as if a great magician was expounding his own way and spreading the magic scriptures.

The bewitching words were connected to the eroded world of ice and snow. Strange creatures transformed from darkness and bloody ice rushed towards Gong Buyu, wanting to tear him to pieces.

"roll!"

The sword flashed across, chopped all the strange creatures into pieces, but as the broken ice crystals spread, more strange creatures crawled out from the ground.

Under the cover of Mahakala, they are not afraid of life or death and are tireless.

A look of caution finally emerged in Gong Buyu's eyes. At this moment, he no longer had any reservations. The Taiyin power in his body continued to flow, guiding him to the Disha Avenue.

The magical power of the earthly devil: taking the moon!

Along with the shining moonlight of the lunar calendar, a bright full moon rose from the dark sky. The sky was completely torn open, revealing the figure of a man in a black robe with torn robes.

Under the moonlight of the lunar calendar, those strange creatures that fought to the death turned into black smoke and dissipated, leaving only ice crystals that returned to normal on the ground.

The moon's remaining force was undiminished, carrying with it the might of heaven as it smashed down towards the man in black.

“Boom!”

A violent explosion sounded from inside the Wuxuan Pavilion, and many of the protective formations built inside were shattered, leaving only the main body of the building constructed from spiritual wood barely intact.

A black figure was thrown onto the ground and created a deep pit. Gong Buyu stepped on the ice and strode out of Wuxuan Pavilion. The biting ice continued to spread in all directions.

At this moment, many soldiers wearing rune armor had already gathered in the imperial city market. The three captains stationed in the imperial city market were holding military tokens and watching the battle breaking out in front of them, ready for battle.

The military talisman activated part of the imperial capital's great formation, and its power was enough to suppress a peak Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouse. The reason he didn't take action at this moment was simply because he didn't understand the current situation.

The man in black robe slowly climbed out of the deep pit, his black robe torn into pieces, revealing his true face.

"It's you!"

Xia Yunqiu's beautiful eyes trembled, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

The black-robed man in front of him was none other than the palace eunuch who had forced Princess Tianxing to drink poisoned wine in her palace.

"Didn't I shatter your soul and shatter you? Why are you here?!"

The palace eunuch, whose true face was revealed, no longer had any disguise. His body, which had been severely injured by the Moon-Taking Divine Ability, was covered with marks of frozen ice crystals, and there was a sword mark piercing his chest.

A mouthful of blood spurted out and dripped onto the clothes, making the already red court costume even more vivid.

The palace eunuch didn't care about the injuries on his body at all. He raised a strange smile on his bright lips and did not answer Xia Yunqiu's question.

Taking out a golden token from his bosom, the palace eunuch said loudly:

“I am Zhou Kuang, the eunuch who holds the seal of the Imperial Household Department. I was ordered by His Majesty to capture the wanted criminal, but was blocked by the rebellious clan.

You all should quickly form a formation and kill the rebels!"

As the words were spoken, the golden token echoed the dynasty's destiny, confirming the authenticity of the words to the three captains.

The three captains looked at each other, holding their military tokens, and shouted loudly:

"Form a formation!"

The murderous aura of the military strategists combined with the imperial capital's formation tightly sealed off the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around Wuxuan Pavilion.

The evil spirit of the military strategist began to suppress Xia Yunqiu's magic power. The ice and snow spreading around him also continued to melt at this time, suppressing Gong Buyu's strength.

Seeing this, Xia Yunqiu took a step forward and shouted loudly:

“I am Princess Tianxing, Xia Yunqiu. I once presided over a great humanistic ceremony to form an alliance with the underworld, and argued with reason to get the underworld to return the positions of the city gods and the incense and worship to several states in Daxia.

However, Emperor Xia believed the slander and tried to kill me on false charges. I would like to ask you, is Daxia a place for all human beings, or is it a place where Emperor Xia has the final say?

Everyone was stunned. The rumor about the false charge had already spread throughout the imperial capital. Even the soldiers stationed in the imperial capital's market had heard about it to some extent.

The vast majority of people had a certain degree of sympathy for Xia Yunqiu's experience, and the military evil spirit that had originally gathered under the fluctuations of their minds suddenly became unstable.

The three captains frowned. Since they could sit in this position, it was natural that they would not be affected by their own emotions.

Even if Xia Yunqiu encountered misery, it was an outsider's business and was far less important than their wealth and future.

"All soldiers, follow my orders and kill the rebels!"

However, no one realized that as Xia Yunqiu took the initiative to speak, the weak fire of humanity in her body trembled slightly, and a small part of the humanitarian luck that had originally dissipated from the imperial city suddenly gathered towards her.

The fire of humanity began to gradually brighten as the luck of humanity gathered. As the flames rose, the luck intertwined, and an elegant and noble aura emanated from Xia Yunqiu.

Just as the soldiers were preparing to follow the captain's order to kill Xia Yunqiu, everyone suddenly discovered that as they pointed their weapons at Xia Yunqiu, the imperial capital formation that had originally blessed them had lost its effect.

"How is that possible?"

The three captains were horrified and took out their military tokens and activated them forcefully.

“Crack!”

With a crisp sound, the three military tokens were completely shattered.

The foundation of the Imperial Capital Array is the destiny of humanity. Xia Yunqiu possesses the fire of humanity and is protected by the destiny of humanity, so the Imperial Capital Array cannot target her. That's why Emperor Xia issued an edict to depose Xia Yunqiu from her position as Princess Tianxia, ​​making it easier to take action against her.

However, Xia Yunqiu's humanitarian luck was not cut off. On the contrary, because the affairs of Emperor Xia had been spread, her reputation had greatly increased, and she had subtly taken over the humanitarian luck that had dissipated from Emperor Xia.

Although he has been freed from the imperial decree, Xia Yunqiu still carries the destiny of humanity and the dynasty. At this moment, he has become the crown prince of humanity, and the destiny of humanity cannot be used to suppress him until he loses his qualification.

Many soldiers felt dazed after losing the blessing of the great formation. They didn't know the reason, but they knew that after Xia Yunqiu told the truth, the power of the imperial capital's great formation dissipated on its own.

Such a scene has only appeared in legends.

The fire of humanity flickered, and the eyes of many soldiers looking at Xia Yunqiu began to change subtly, and the luck gathered at this moment quietly accelerated.

Zhou Kuang, who originally had everything under control, looked at the dim token in his hand and obviously realized the problem.

The expression on his gloomy face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were becoming more sinister.

"Do you really think that we can't do anything to you?"

"The military killing array is indeed ineffective against you, but if I suppress you directly with force, what will you do?"

As he spoke in a feminine voice, Zhou Kuang's burned body began to swell.

Cracks began to appear on the gloomy face, spreading and breaking like a mask, revealing the hideously squirming flesh underneath.

As the face was completely shattered, what appeared in front of everyone was a beast that was several feet tall, with a red body and an ugly face, like a flesh and blood Shura from a myth.

An aura as deep as the abyss emanated from him, and the blood that had dripped before seemed to be given a whole new vitality, transforming into small monsters crawling and wriggling on the ground.

Those dark eyes stared at Gong Buyu, with a hideous smile on his face.

Above the sky, dark red calamity clouds gathered madly, and streaks of thunder continued to spread across the dark sky.

At this moment, Zhou Kuang has surpassed the boundaries of this world and has reached the realm of spirit refining.

It's just that a large amount of dynasty luck gathered around him, and under the protection of the imperial capital's formation, the thunder tribulation could only hang high in the sky and could not fall at all.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Is this really the eunuch who holds the seal beside His Majesty?"

Without the protection of the imperial capital's great formation, and seeing such a horrible monster, the soldiers were already in a panic.

"Being able to force out my true form is enough to make you proud, but everything stops here."

"Just die!"

He clenched his right fist and smashed it towards Gong Buyu. Zhou Kuang's huge body seemed to have merged into the form of Yang Shen. When he punched down, it seemed that even the space was distorted.

“Bang!”

The violent collision shook the earth, but did not hurt Gong Buyu at all.

Zhou Kuang was surprised to find that a mirror that looked like it was carved from ice crystals had appeared in front of him. The chill that froze his soul began to spread from the mirror surface and eroded towards his arm.

"Tao weapon!"

Zhou Kuang exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.

Even thousands of years ago, Taoist weapons were undoubtedly treasures, enough to suppress the foundation of an entire sect.

The spiritual energy tides of the Xuanhuang Realm have lasted for thousands of years, and countless treasures have fallen in grade. There are only a few Taoist instruments that have been preserved to this day, and they are basically controlled by the ancestors of the Dongtian Blessed Land.

The fact that a mere Jindan cultivator in front of him could produce such a treasure was far beyond Zhou Kuang's understanding.

The ice spread rapidly, and Zhou Kuang was terrified. He gritted his teeth and cut off the arm that was in contact with the mirror.

The spreading ice completely froze the arm. The physical body, which was comparable to that of a Yang God, was completely useless against this weapon and instantly turned into ice crystals that shattered into pieces.

Looking at Gong Buyu, whose face was slightly pale, with resentment, Zhou Kuang's voice was full of malice.

"Is this your trump card?"

“However, with your cultivation level at the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, controlling a Dao weapon with your ability to activate it once is already your limit.

What will you use to stop me next time?"

Gong Buyu looked at Zhou Kuang with a hint of pity in her eyes, and with a light wave of her right hand, the Taoist mirror that looked like it was forged from ice crystals fell into her palm.

A vibration came from the space ring on her slender index finger, and then an exquisite jade bottle appeared in her hand.

When the jade bottle was opened, the rich spiritual energy that nourished all things instantly filled the space within a hundred meters. Gong Buyu poured out a pill that looked like jade and swallowed it. The paleness on his face disappeared and he instantly returned to his prime.

Seeing this, Zhou Kuang couldn't help but curse:

"The Life-Creating Pill! This is a great pill that is enough to repair the essence of Master Lianxu. You actually used it to restore your vitality and injuries?"

"Okay, okay! I want to see how many Life Creation Pills you have, enough for you to activate the Dao weapon."

Gong Buyu waved her hand lightly and more than ten jade bottles appeared in front of her. A strange elixir fragrance emanated from them.

The resentment on Zhou Kuang's face solidified and instantly turned into intense fear.
