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 blesses our Daliang."
Xiao Changheng held up an umbrella and stretched his hand into the rain, feeling the fresh spiritual energy in the rain wash away all the poisonous obstacles in the city, and 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 would consume a huge amount of spiritual power in order to drive out the plague from the entire Imperial Capital City.
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 never thought that such a big mess would happen in the Imperial Capital just because I was delayed for a few days!"
Xiao Changheng turned around and saw a Taoist priest with a long beard and a thick beard coming towards him, shouting:
"I almost couldn't even get through the city gate. Please tell them to stop chasing me, 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 doing your job. If I hadn't seen the plague raging in the city from afar, I wouldn't have climbed the wall and forced my way in. Please forgive me!"
This Taoist priest was 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, letting the guards who were chasing him 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 leaving in a hurry that day, and I was worried something might have happened, so I set out for the Imperial Capital that very day. But I didn't expect to run into a small sect along the way... Well, forget it, let's not talk about it."
Feng Yin probably felt that the topic was a bit off track, so he stopped talking in time and said:
"When I entered the city, I had already observed the situation in the Imperial Capital from above. I discovered that there was such a strange formation as the Fortune-stealing Array, and it had already been activated. I was really scared!"
"But then again, just how deep is Senior Yun's cultivation? She can actually use her spiritual power to bring down a spiritual rain of this magnitude! How on earth did she do it... Hey! Now isn't the time to discuss this. I think Senior Yun should be dealing with the Mother Evil right now. Let's go see if there's anything we can do to 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 and hadn't explained it to him yet, so he explained:
"This fortune-stealing evil formation belongs to the Son and Mother Evils. It is composed of several Son Evils and one Mother Evil. The number of Son Evils is a multiple of nine. The more there are, the greater the power. To dispel this evil formation, the Mother Evil must be completely destroyed."
"I see there are at least a thousand demons in your city. To be able to suppress them with a formation of this level, Senior Yun is truly the best I've ever seen in my life!"
Xiao Changheng suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed.
"Suppress? Are you saying that the Mother Evil has not yet been eliminated and the evil formation may still strike back?"
Seeing Feng Yin nod, his expression became more solemn:
"Then you might be able to tell where the Mother Demon is located?"
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 across half of the imperial capital, his expression somewhat solemn:
"Hiss... The evil spirit is rising to the sky, it doesn't seem like just a female evil spirit... What the hell 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 a flash.
Xiao Changheng's heart tightened and he was about to follow, but Yuan Si suddenly flashed in front of him:
"Your Majesty, 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 that 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 tell the story, but deliberately avoided 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, but the master has ordered that I cannot let you pass."
The master has given orders.
These words made Xiao Changheng even more anxious.
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 had planned for so long just to keep herself away from the palace.
What's inside the palace...
Xiao Changheng clenched his right palm, summoning the black jade sword in his hand, and tilted his head to look at Yuan Si:
“Get out of the way!”
Yuan Si's pupils shrank slightly the moment the black jade knife appeared.
But he soon became convinced that Xiao Changheng was still that ordinary person without any bones, and he returned to his calm and composed state, not moving an inch.
"You have no cultivation at all. 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 shadows.
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 enough compared to the inner sect disciples.
At this moment, Xiao Changheng had a magical weapon in his hand that looked very extraordinary, but Yuan Si still didn't think he could pose any threat to him.
Yuan Si initially wanted to hold back 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 caught off guard. His sword was almost knocked away. He was startled and had to cheer up to deal with it.
But just as he calmed down and steady 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 finally understood 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 closely behind him but could not catch up.
The two of them were moving very fast, one in front and one behind, and they saw the palace gate was right in front of them.
