Chapter 658 The Master Has Ordered
When the spiritual rain started to fall, Xiao Changheng had just walked to the vicinity of Tianming Pavilion on East Street.
Yuan Si followed him closely, looked up at the sky, and whispered:
"It's done."
Crowds of people gradually poured out of the street, cheering and rejoicing, and the noisy voices gradually merged into one sentence: "Heavenly Phoenix bless us Daliang."
Xiao Changheng held up an umbrella and stretched his hand into the rain, feeling the fresh spiritual energy in the rain washing away all the poisonous obstacles in the city. His tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
But there was always a trace of worry in his eyes, because he knew very well that a spiritual rain of such a scale could drive away the plague from the entire Imperial Capital City, which would inevitably consume a huge amount of spiritual power.
Now that the plague crisis has been resolved, Xiao Changheng gave his servant a few instructions on the aftermath and then walked towards the Temple of Heaven.
Yuan Si looked at his back, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he said nothing and followed him.
Suddenly, a hurried voice sounded from behind:
"Prince Regent! I finally found you. I didn't expect that such a big mess would happen in the Imperial Capital after I was only delayed for a few days!"
Xiao Changheng turned around and saw a Taoist priest with a long beard and beard running over the eaves and walls towards him, still shouting:
"I can barely get through the city gate. Tell them to stop chasing me. Please, please!"
He was extremely fast, and in a few leaps and bounds he was in front of Xiao Changheng, taking a breath:
"Huh... you soldiers are really responsible. If I hadn't seen the plague in the city from a distance, I wouldn't have climbed over the wall and forced my way in. Please forgive me!"
This Taoist priest was none other than Feng Yin in disguise, and the people chasing him on the street were none other than the guards guarding the city.
Xiao Changheng waved his hand, asking the guards who were chasing him to retreat, and looked at Feng Yin:
"Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he continued walking towards the Temple of Heaven, and Feng Yin quickly followed.
"Oh, don't mention it!" Feng Yin sighed, "I saw you guys were in a hurry that day, and I was worried that something had happened, so I set out for the Imperial Capital that day. But I didn't expect to run into a small sect on the way... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it."
Feng Yin probably felt that the topic was going off track, so he stopped talking in time and continued:
"When I entered the city, I had already seen the situation in the Imperial Capital from a high place. I discovered that there was such an evil formation as the Fortune-stealing Array, and it had already been activated. I was really scared!"
"But then again, how deep is Senior Yun's cultivation? She can actually use her spiritual power to bring down such a large-scale spiritual rain! How on earth did she do it... Hey! Now is not the time to talk about this. I think Senior Yun should be dealing with the mother evil now. Let's go and see if there is anyone who can help."
Xiao Changheng paused:
"Mother evil?"
He only knew about the Fortune-stealing Buddha statue. When he first heard Feng Yin say the "Fortune-stealing Array", he didn't think much about it. Until he heard him say the word "Mother Evil", Xiao Changheng suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Feng Yin thought it was a sudden incident, and Yun Qingqing was busy dealing with it, so she hadn't explained it to him yet, so she explained:
"This fortune-stealing evil formation belongs to the sub-evil and the mother-evil formation. It is composed of several sub-evil formations and one mother-evil formation. The number of sub-evil formations is a multiple of nine. The more there are, the greater the power. In order to dispel this evil formation, the mother-evil formation must be completely destroyed."
"I see that there are at least thousands of demons in your city. You can suppress them with a formation of this level. Senior Yun is the best person I have ever seen in my life!"
Xiao Changheng suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed:
"Suppress? You mean, the mother evil has not been eliminated yet, and the evil formation may still strike back?"
Seeing Feng Yin nod, his expression became more solemn:
"Then you may be able to see where the mother devil is?"
Feng Yin pointed forward and was about to speak, but suddenly his expression paused. He squinted his eyes and paused for a moment, then jumped onto the nearest roof and looked forward.
Xiao Changheng followed immediately.
Feng Yin looked at the palace from a distance across half of the imperial capital, his expression somewhat solemn:
“Hiss… The evil spirit is so strong, it doesn’t seem to be just a female evil spirit… What on earth is this thing! Let’s go over and take a look!”
As he said this, he threw a wind-moving talisman to Xiao Changheng, took out one for himself, and rushed over there like the wind.
Xiao Changheng's heart tightened and he was about to follow him, but Yuan Si suddenly stepped in front of him:
"My Lord, you can't go there."
Xiao Changheng frowned:
“Get out of the way!”
Yuan Si remained motionless:
"The Lord should have told the prince that Tianshajie should not enter the palace in the next few days. Please go back to the palace."
Xiao Changheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a bad premonition came to his mind.
Yun Qingqing did say this at the beginning, but what she meant was that in order to prevent the plague from being brought into the palace, the palace had to be sealed off, so she reminded him not to go there in the next few days.
But now Ling Yu has cleansed the plague, Yuan Si still wants to stop him, and Yun Qingqing has concealed the existence of the Fortune-stealing Evil Array and the Mother Evil...
Based on his understanding of Yun Qingqing, he was almost certain that she did not forget to talk about it, but was deliberately avoiding the matter of Mu Sha.
"The plague has been eradicated, I must go to the palace." Xiao Changheng frowned even tighter, and took a step to bypass Yuan Si.
Yuan Si moved slightly, holding the unsheathed sword and blocking in front of him:
"I'm sorry, the master has ordered that I cannot let you pass."
The master has given orders.
These words made Xiao Changheng even more nervous.
Whenever Yun Qingqing was worried about him, she always kept him within her sight to make herself feel more at ease. But this time, she took so long to plan this just to keep herself away from the palace.
What's inside the palace...
Xiao Changheng clenched his right palm, summoned the black jade sword in his hand, and tilted his head to look at Yuan Si:
“Get out of the way!”
The moment the black jade knife appeared, Yuan Si's pupils shrank slightly.
But he soon became convinced that Xiao Changheng was still the ordinary person without any talent, and he regained his calmness and did not move at all:
"You have no cultivation skills. If you go, you will only hinder the master. I will never let you pass. If you insist on forcing your way in, don't blame me for being rude."
Xiao Changheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly retreated a little. He rushed to the side like an arrow and reached the opposite roof in the blink of an eye, trying to get rid of Yuan Si.
Yuan Si's eyes turned cold, he made a gesture and caught up with him in an instant, following him like a shadow, and drew his sword to stop him.
The two men fought several rounds in a few breaths, with flashes of swords and sabers.
Yuan Si had seen Xiao Changheng in action in the Seven Stars Hall. At that time, he was only holding an ordinary long sword, but he easily defeated the outer disciple in the Qi training stage.
For an inner sect leader like Yuan Si, they just felt that his strength was stronger than they had imagined, but still not good enough compared to the inner sect disciples.
At this moment, Xiao Changheng had a magical weapon in his hand that looked very powerful, but Yuan Si still didn't think he could pose any threat to him.
Yuan Si wanted to hold back at first so as not to hurt the other party and displease his master.
However, after a few moves, Yuan Si found himself caught off guard and was almost knocked away by his sword. He was frightened and had to cheer up to deal with it.
But just as he calmed down and steadied his moves, he saw a cold light flash in Xiao Changheng's eyes, and a white light suddenly burst out from the black jade sword and swept towards him!
Yuan Si took a breath and quickly dodged.
But as he dodged, he made way, and almost at the same time, Xiao Changheng followed the sword energy and rushed past him.
Yuan Si then realized that he had been tricked. He gritted his teeth and cast a wind-moving spell to chase after him. However, Xiao Changheng also had the wind-moving talisman that Feng Yin had just given him. He tried to follow him closely but could not catch up.
The two of them were moving very fast, one in front of the other, and they saw the palace gate was just ahead.
