In the spiritual world dotted with stars, a dark full moon is reflected on the galaxy. It blends perfectly into the darkness, invisible, undetectable and undetectable.
In the bright moon, there sat a cloaked figure.
Under the cloak, wisps of starlight were faintly visible. Through repeated deductions and stargazing, he seemed to have found the future he wanted, so he condensed a soul force at his fingertips, carrying some knowledge, memory, and soul fragments.
With a flick of his fingers, the soul power turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the depths of the "galaxy".
Then the starlight converged, and his gaze was cast towards a copy infinitely far away, and the majestic power of the moon surged towards the star like a tide.
Every time it is about to be swallowed up, it will be dispelled by the bright and clear sunlight, and this cycle repeats over and over again.
"It seems that we can only fight head-on. The weirdos in Nanyuan will attack when the black smoke rises, but how can we fight the enemies in the black smoke?" Demon King frowned.
Xiahou Aotian added: "What's even more difficult is that the beheading monster will prioritize intelligent enemies, and puppets can't block the knife for us. And if we are beheaded, our spirit will be sealed, and even if the Palace Master of Stop Killing rescues us, we will lose the ability to move."
Princess Yin Yao raised her trumpet and said, "Perhaps, the strange attack is not as strong as we imagined. The two Yin corpses controlled by Yuanshi Tianzun are both extraordinary."
Fu Qingyang shook his head slightly. "That Xuanzhen Chang Lao died in the attic. The Chang Lao who could become Shushan is most likely the master. In other words, the master cannot be stopped."
The Palace Master of Zhisha thought for a few seconds and said, "Swordsman, your defense is weak. Just because that old Xuanzhen Chang can't block his attack doesn't mean we can't block it."
During the discussion, everyone took out their defensive gear.
Zhang Yuanqing summoned the purple gold suit to activate the armor mode, and at the same time took out the five-clawed golden dragon and the craftsman's ring, switching the former to shield mode.
Finally, he took out the Formless and Soul-Destroying Sword and held it in his right hand. Originally, he wanted to use the Heaven-Devouring Beast for defense, but the side effects of this item were too great. Once it was activated, it would not stop until it was fully fed. The enemy was not known for the time being, and the black smoke attack had a ten-minute interval. If the Heaven-Devouring Beast could not get energy, it would counterattack its master.
So pressing it doesn't work.
Apart from him, the most gorgeous sword belongs to Xiahou Aotian. After this kid was promoted to the Overlord, he borrowed materials from his family that would take a hundred years to pay off, and refined many Overlord-quality props, although the quality was not high.
The Palace Master of Stop Killing, Fu Qingyang and Demon Eye each have only one Domination-level defensive item, and the Palace Master has the best quality item, after all, he has a "Demi-God Brother".
As for Princess Yinli, she had no protection at all. As a dominant Yin creature, a mere loss of heads could not kill her. Her role was mainly to improve everyone's survival rate.
Xiahou Aotian looked around and said, "Besides Yuanshi Tianzun, you only have one defensive item? You are too poor."
The Demon King said, "My body is harder than those junks of yours. You should worry about yourself."
Xiahou Aotian sneered: "The protagonist has a lucky aura. The same thing goes for you. Worry about yourself."
The Palace Master of Stop Killing said calmly: "With me here, your lives will not be in danger. What you need to do is to lock onto the enemy in the black smoke and then eliminate it."
Don't set up fg randomly, everyone is like an old general on the stage, I am the safest and most secure one, Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.
"Yuanshi, what do you think?" Fu Qingyang looked at the only Sun God on the field.
Zhang Yuanqing pondered, "The black smoke has a stealth effect. It is impossible to detect the enemy with skills. But there is a flaw in the stealth. As long as you attack, you will definitely show up."
"So, using the Yin Corpses and Xiahou Aotian's drones to conduct a carpet search is the most effective method."
Fu Qingyang nodded and added: "I have calculated the time it takes for you and Xiahou Aotian to be attacked after hearing the footsteps. Once the footsteps sound, the attack will come within 30 seconds, and then the black smoke will dissipate."
"We must find the enemy within thirty seconds and kill it with concentrated fire before Yuanshi Tianzun summons the Yin Corpse Army."
He added: "I have a better way to find the enemy." As he spoke, Fu Qingyang took out a crown woven with fresh flowers and put it on his head.
In an instant, his temperament became brighter and more charming, and his facial features became more neutral, just like a famous actor in ancient operas.
This flower crown is called "Forest Queen". It is a low-grade prop of the Domination Realm. It comes from the Liu family, a family of scholars, and was bought by Fu Qingyang at a high price.
The three great aristocratic families provide a small amount of Domination-quality items to the official organization every year. Part of these items are stored in the gang warehouse of the Five Elements Alliance, and part are sold at a discount to the elders in the organization as welfare.
Fu Qingyang has been in power for some time, and his family fortune has gradually increased.
The "Queen of the Forest" can make the surrounding grass and flowers bloom wildly, turning it into a home field suitable for its own battle. Because it is a low-quality prop, Fu Qingyang usually treats it as an auxiliary prop and rarely uses it. After all, for him, low-quality dominant props are of little use.
It is worth mentioning that the price of the Forest Queen is to make the user more beautiful and charming, attracting men around her.
Fu Qingyang waved his hand gently, and clumps of weeds and flowers grew on the surface of Yaoguang Palace.
He stepped over the threshold of the Yaoguang Palace, and wherever he looked, he saw flowers and green grass sprouting from the ground and growing vigorously. In an instant, this area seemed to have become a primeval forest, with lush vegetation everywhere.
The mountain breeze blew, and dandelion seeds and spores of other plants fluttered all over the sky. These plants were Fu Qingyang's spies. As long as the enemy was not a spirit, as long as it stepped on or disturbed the plants, the plants would transmit the information to the corolla, and he would be able to quickly lock onto the opponent.
Zhang Yuanqing, Xiahou Aotian and Demon Eye King looked at him infatuatedly.
How come the eldest sister suddenly became beautiful? Has she been dressed as a man all along?
This kid Fu Qingyang suddenly became more pleasing to the eye than Yuanshi.
His flower crown has the function of attracting men. If it were me, I would change the price to attracting all living things around, that would be more fun.
As Fu Qingyang looked back, the three of them quickly returned to normal.
This little bit of charm is not enough to make them addicted.
Fu Qingyang's eyes swept across the faces of the three people, his face turned cold, "It's almost time, get ready to meet the enemy." As soon as he finished speaking, deep black smoke surged in from all directions.
Xiahou Aotian grabbed a two-meter-long white feather fan and waved it towards the black smoke.
“Woo woo!!”
The wind was blowing hard and the black smoke was shaking violently, but there was no sign of it being blown away. Instead, too much of the plants cultivated by Fu Qingyang were uprooted and flew into the sky.
"Don't waste your energy. This is yin energy, not real smoke." Zhang Yuanqing spoke out to stop them.
Fu Qingyang activated the ability of the corolla, allowing vegetation to grow again in the blank area created by the strong wind.
The black smoke was not affected by anything and surged over the five people, quickly dimming their vision until it disappeared. Even Zhang Yuanqing's night vision ability could not see through the darkness.
About a minute later, everyone heard the sound of footsteps with a certain rhythm and tempo: dong, dong, dong.
Zhang Yuanqing tensed his body, clenched the dagger in his hand, and could only obey Fu Qingyang's orders.
However, thirty seconds passed quickly, the footsteps disappeared, and then the black smoke dissipated like the tide.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately looked around and saw Princess Yinli, the King of Demon Eyes, Xiahou Aotian and Fu Qingyang. The headless body of the Palace Master of Stop Killing was lying quietly on the grass. Light golden blood spurted in the grass, making the green grow wildly.
Her head fell among the flowers, her eyes closed, beautiful and peaceful.
Zhang Yuanqing's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart twitched violently, and he rushed towards the palace master regardless of everything and hugged the beautiful head.
The next second, his horrified expression relaxed, and there was a faint soul fluctuation in the palace master's head, which was sealed by a mysterious force and forced into "sleep".
Her spirit was intact, not the residual soul of the deceased. Fu Qingyang, Xiahou Aotian and Demon Eye King also changed their expressions. The former came to the corpse, leaned over to take her pulse, and said: "She still has a pulse. Siming will not die easily. Her blood is equivalent to the source of life. As long as the soul is not extinguished, the body can heal."
Zhang Yuanjing said solemnly, "But her spirit body has fallen into a deep sleep. She cannot revive on her own. Once the spirit power of her body is completely drained and she loses her spirit, she will truly die."
Xiahou Aotian picked up the heart-protecting mirror beside the corpse. It was cut in half by the sharp blade. The cut ends were neat. He frowned and said, "This item is of good quality, but it still can't protect us from decapitation. Oops, we are not Sima Ming. We will die if we are hit by one sword. Without the Palace Master Zhisha to revive us, the worst has happened."
The "death" of the Palace Master of Stopping Killing reduced the team's tolerance rate to zero.
From now on, one person will die every ten minutes. With his soul sealed, it will be impossible for him to even entrust Yuanshi to refine him into a spiritual servant.
The Demon Eye King said, "Tsk!", his expression unusually solemn, "This woman was planting the flag just now, she must be dead now!"
"Now is not the time to complain." Zhang Yuanqing carefully put his head down and looked at Fu Qingyang: "Boss, you didn't sense the enemy?"
Fu Qingyang shook his head. "The plants didn't give me any feedback, neither on the ground nor in the air."
"Could the enemy be a vengeful spirit?" Xiahou Aotian analyzed.
"Impossible!" Zhang Yuanqing rejected the idea directly, "The vengeful spirit can only be captured by you if it creates physical movement, such as overturning tables and chairs. However, the footsteps come from the spirit itself, so it is impossible for the vengeful spirit to make footsteps."
Xiahou Aotian argued, "But if the enemy has a physical body, how could the plants not be able to capture it?"
"Keep fighting, we still have eight minutes." The Demon Eye King touched the sports headband on his forehead and said with a smile.
Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, "Dao Dao Tian Zun, can you see through the black smoke and lock onto the enemy with your vertical eyes?"
The Demon Eye King looked at him and asked calmly, "When have you ever seen me use it to detect the enemy?"
The core of the Eye of Bewitching is to bewitch, to bewitch the soul, to bewitch spiritual power, and thus create chaos.
Of course, if you insist on using it as a telescope, the vertical eye can indeed see farther than the other eyes.
Xiahou Aotian said, "Okay, we have successfully wasted one minute of everyone's time. Now we only have seven minutes."
"So while I'm talking, you've completely given up on using your brain?"
"You wasted another ten seconds of everyone's time."
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't stand it any longer. "Shut up! Are you two playing a dungeon or performing crosstalk? Are you both from Tianjin?"
Xiahou Aotian and Demon Eye King stopped arguing.
Zhang Yuanqing said, "I think this is a wrong idea. Black smoke has a hidden attribute, and all five senses will be disturbed. It is almost impossible to defeat the enemy in just 30 seconds in such an environment. After all, the enemy is also a master level."
Fu Qingyang nodded. "Yes, the normal way to pass the level is to survive the attack of the black smoke, and then in the ten-minute interval, find the real enemy and defeat them together."
So where are the enemies? Zhang Yuanqing swept his eyes across the area and said, "There are only the Yaoguang Palace and the attic in this area. The strange thing is either in the attic or in the palace. But we have explored both places and found no enemies."
"Boss, where do you think it will be?
Fu Qingyang thought for a few seconds and said, "If I have to choose one, it must be in the palace."
"Why?" Xiahou Aotian asked.
Fu Qingyang said calmly, "All the Shushan disciples are hiding in the attic. If there is something scary in the attic, why would they hide in the building?" As a scout, his insight is the strongest among the few people.
"But we have explored the Yaoguang Palace, and there is nothing but a statue." The Demon Eye King shrugged, "And the statue is a dead object, there is no information about the item."
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes flashed and he checked again.
The three men and the corpse returned to the temple and re-examined every blade of grass and every tree in the temple, not letting go of any furnishings and touching them one by one.
The candlesticks, altars, jade plates, and pillars were all ordinary objects. Xiahou Aotian even climbed onto the pedestal to touch the statue and the sword and gourd in her hands.
"They are all mortal things." At this time, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes fell on the high pedestal. The ground of the hall was covered with vegetation, and even the pillars were covered with moss. Only the stone pedestal under the feet of the statue was empty, without any grass or trees growing on it.
When the black smoke covered the area, the vegetation was not trampled, so Fu Qingyang was unable to lock onto the enemy.
In the entire area, the only places not covered by plants are the base and the roof. There are dandelions and spores in the sky, and if the enemy is on the roof, they will also be touched by the plants.
There were no dandelions or spores in the temple at that time.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly had an idea and shouted, "It's her! It's this statue!"
As the words fell, the female sculpture's stiff face stared at the base with its eyes "gurgling".
