The Wei Dynasty's imperial palace was in chaos, and the common people were in a panic and stayed indoors. The once prosperous streets were now deserted.
If there was any disturbance in the palace, the gates to the imperial city would be immediately closed and heavily guarded. The palace is the heart of a nation, and if it were attacked, the guards would naturally have a plan to respond.
However, even though the city gates were blocked, the news still spread like wildfire.
Several kings of different surnames sent troops to besiege the capital in the name of providing assistance. The three neighboring countries on the border were also ready to move and deployed troops on the border.
The emperor's bedroom was surrounded by guards and no one could enter. The government affairs had been neglected for the past few days. Some important ministers and old officials were wandering outside the emperor's bedroom, anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Mr. Qingyang, the first warrior of the Wei Dynasty, had a gloomy expression on his face as he patrolled the palace with a team of warriors.
Don't let him catch that stinky woman, damn it! He had just stripped naked and was about to take a good shower when the news of her breaking into the palace came out, preventing him from even taking a proper bath. These past few days, he'd always felt like there was a strange smell on his body that always made him nauseous.
What's even more hateful is that no one knows where that woman has hidden. He has led his team to look for her for three days, and even searched the emperor's bedroom, but there is still no trace of her.
A breeze blew by, and Qingyang smelled a faint sour and stinky smell again. His stomach suddenly churned. He hadn't eaten for several days and had nothing left to vomit, so he could only cover his mouth and dry heave.
The guards were already used to it, as they all knew that the Wei Dynasty's number one warrior had been suffering from... morning sickness these past few days.
The skinny old man with a mustache suffered from morning sickness, and no one knew who did it.
In a secret place somewhere in the Imperial Garden, a red squirrel poked its head out from Lai Siyu's sleeve and pointed at a rockery and said to her, "Girl, that's right there. It smells like a formation!"
"Are you sure? But I can't feel any spiritual power fluctuation!" Lai Siyu asked.
It was indeed strange here. The guards outside were looking for her all over the palace like crazy, but since the red squirrel brought her to this small garden, not a single guard had been seen.
The strange thing is that no matter how those people wandered around outside the small garden, they would not enter the door of this small garden.
If she hadn't followed the red squirrel, she probably wouldn't have found this place.
Formation?
Could this really be a formation?
Lai Siyu carefully observed the things here. The positions of the mountains, trees and flowers seemed messy, but they were in line with the five elements.
However, if there is a formation, why is there not even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation?
The red squirrel did not answer, but pounced on the rockery like a hungry wolf, pressed its claws into the air, and opened its mouth to bite.
Soon, the void fluctuated and a hole was bitten by the red squirrel.
A stream of pure spiritual energy spread out from the small hole. Lai Siyu was refreshed, his dantian began to loosen, and his spiritual platform trembled slightly. The spiritual energy went straight to Lai Siyu.
The Dantian, which had been imprisoned for a long time, suddenly encountered such pure spiritual energy and began to absorb it madly like a long drought finally meeting a downpour.
At the same time, Lai Siyu's sea of consciousness also regained its vitality. Lai Siyu felt the restlessness of "Talisman Dao" in the storage bag and immediately took it out. The book immediately pounced on the void in front of the rockery like a hungry wolf.
The pages of "The Way of Talismans" turned, emitting a dazzling golden light. In just a few flashes, it consumed all the formations here and turned into a stream of light, sinking into the storage bag on Lai Siyu's waist.
"You are so rude! You actually snatched food from me!"
The red squirrel waved its little paws in protest!
Lai Siyu held her forehead. What's the point of protesting to her? She could argue with the Dao of Fu.
"Shut up, or I'll stop eating for a month!"
"You only know how to threaten me with food. Can you come up with some new tricks?" The red squirrel was indignant.
"Two months!"
"You're so cruel!" The red squirrel gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes at Lai Siyu countless times for free.
"Look, what is that?"
A guard discovered that a small garden appeared out of nowhere in the imperial garden and immediately exclaimed.
Soon, they found the source of the sound and Qingyang also discovered the problem. His eyes narrowed: "So this girl is hiding there!"
"Surround that place immediately!" Qingyang ordered. At the same time, he leaped up, tapping the guards' heads with his toes, and rushed towards the newly appeared garden.
As soon as the formation disappeared, the old Taoist who was sitting cross-legged in the secret room and practicing with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. Who could actually break the formation he had set up?
The formation he set up could not be broken immediately even by a Nascent Soul cultivator.
You know, the formation he set up was from the fragments of an ancient formation.
However, since he had come to his door, he had to go up and meet him for a while!
The old Taoist slapped his palms on the ice bed, and his body turned into a black shadow and flew out.
As Lai Siyu's Dantian recovered, she released her spiritual consciousness. Seeing the guards rushing in from all directions, the old black doctor in the secret room moved. She immediately ordered the red squirrel: "Spit out a formation to isolate this place."
Seeing her serious expression, the red squirrel, although unwilling, understood that this was not the time to be upset. It opened its mouth and a transparent ripple spread out, and an invisible barrier enveloped the small garden.
"Bang bang~"
Gathering all his internal strength, the rapidly rushing Qingyang crashed into the formation fiercely, and slid down from the void in a large letter shape in full view of everyone.
At the same time, the small garden suddenly disappeared. The soldiers helped Mr. Qingyang, who was knocked unconscious, and looked at the scene in front of them suspiciously. It was really strange. Could it be that all the guards in the palace were dazzled?
Or, are there ghosts and gods appearing in broad daylight?
Or is it the legendary ghost wall?
Just when everyone was confused and extremely puzzled, the earth suddenly shook.
"Oh no, the earth dragon is turning over!"
The violent shaking made them unstable. Large sections of the palace collapsed one after another, countless cracks appeared on the ground, and many guards fell down.
The palace was suddenly in chaos, with screams and cries everywhere.
In the formation, Lai Siyu and the old Taoist in black were fighting uprightly. Neither of them expected that the other was a cultivator in the Jindan stage.
However, what Lai Siyu did not expect was that the old Taoist was actually in the late Jindan stage.
The old Taoist's sleeves rustled in the wind, and a biting cold air emanated from his sleeves, covering the entire small garden with a layer of frost.
He moved as fast as lightning, and ice cones flew towards Lai Siyu.
Lai Siyu snorted coldly. Although she was at the third level of the Jindan realm, her body was at least at the Yuanying level. She had been tempered by the spiritual springs time and time again and became like a magic weapon. Therefore, she was not afraid of a head-on confrontation with a cultivator in the late Jindan realm.
In addition, after forming the elixir, the "Hunyuan Sword Art" will be taken to the next level, which is a good opportunity to test its power.
Lai Siyu's mind moved, and a third-grade flying sword appeared in front of her. Silver sword light flowed, and tens of thousands of sword energies shot out with fierce momentum, crushing the oncoming icicles as soon as they came into contact with them.
