The old Taoist soon sensed the situation on Gu Yunni's side, but did not take it to heart.
His formation was just a test, and he never thought of defeating Gu Yunni directly with this small formation.
He is not such a stupid person, he still needs to rely on real ability to succeed.
Before he came out, he received instructions from his master.
The old Taoist did not stay in the courtyard in the west of the city. He hurried to the lake and used his mysterious magic to put pressure on Gu Yunni and the others little by little.
Gu Yunni and the National Master had been waiting by the lake for a long time. When they sensed each other's breath, Gu Yunni asked the National Master for his opinion.
"We're around here. Should we look for someone first or reinforce the formation first?"
"Reinforce the formation."
The two of them didn't have time to play around with the old Taoist priest. Since the time had come, they would just deal with it.
It is impossible to reinforce and destroy the formation again and again, as that would waste too much time.
The three of them fought in mid-air.
Gu Yunni and the other two were reinforcing the wall, while the old Taoist was destroying it. He felt the pressure because the two of them were too powerful.
He would not be able to defeat Gu Yunni by himself, and he suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have been so arrogant and should have brought a few more brothers with me.
The old Taoist priest had no other choice but to sacrifice his own blood.
This is the last line of defense for their magicians.
If the other party destroys this sacrifice, they will immediately suffer backlash.
Gu Yunni was a little surprised. A huge pressure came towards them, and she immediately understood what was going on.
The person opposite still refused to give up.
I wonder how much silver Kou Mingxue gave this Taoist priest to make him pay so much?
Or maybe this Taoist priest had other instructions, otherwise he wouldn't have fought against me with all his might.
Why should you risk your life for someone who has nothing to do with you?
The Imperial Master frowned at this moment, stopped joking, and directly assigned a task to Gu Yunni, "I'll hold on! You find someone!"
If they continue to waste time like this, their strength will gradually be exhausted.
Especially since Gu Yunni’s small body can’t keep going, it’s better to think of another way.
Gu Yunni agreed without hesitation.
If she didn't agree, the final result would be death from exhaustion.
"Yun Ni!"
Sheng Mingyu had been observing Gu Yunni's movements in the nearby teahouse, and he became anxious. Why did so many dangers suddenly appear?
Who else is controlling the mysterious arts around here? How could they exert such great pressure on Gu Yunni?
It seems that this person is quite capable.
"Prince! The Crown Princess told you not to go out and to stay here."
"No! Don't you see she's in danger? If I continue to sit there calmly, Yun Ni will die."
Sheng Mingyu couldn't sit still any longer, so she ran out of the teahouse without caring whether it would cause her any trouble.
Gu Yunni's reaction was also extremely quick. The moment she saw Sheng Mingyu's figure, she didn't want to waste time looking for someone. She cut a cut on the palm of her hand, donated blood as a warning, and destroyed the opposite formation.
"Pfft! Damn it!"
The Taoist's eyes widened. There was clearly hope just now, so why was he suddenly hit back?
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body could no longer support him, and he fell to the ground, completely dead.
"Prince! There's someone dead over there. Go over and take a look. It must be the old Taoist priest who fought against the Crown Princess. He died a very tragic death, with blood spitting out of his mouth and flesh flying everywhere!"
After the formation disappeared, the national teacher reinforced the previous formation as quickly as possible.
The people around also returned to their peaceful lives, and the small lake continued to flow slowly without any sound.
If the people had not seen the mess around them, they would have thought they were dreaming.
"How are you?" Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Gu Yunni rushed to Sheng Mingyu and started accusing him.
"Didn't I tell you to stay upstairs? No matter what happens downstairs, don't come down? Did you ignore my words? If anything happens to you, I won't be able to save you even if I try my best."
Gu Yunni knew that Sheng Mingyu was worried about her, but she didn't need this kind of worry, as it would only add to her burden.
If this kind of problem happens again next time, she said she would never bring Sheng Mingyu out again.
"I'm sorry, Yun Ni, I won't do this again in the future."
Sheng Mingyu looked guilty. He knew how tense the situation was just now, and he seemed to have really caused trouble for Gu Yunni.
"How about I learn mystical arts from you in the future? Otherwise, I'll always cause you trouble. This body is the only one that has any use, so we should use it to unleash its enormous power. What do you think?"
Sheng Mingyu looked at Gu Yunni. He didn't know how to compensate her, so he had to propose this condition.
"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time later." Gu Yunni shook her head helplessly. "Now that you're here, don't just sit there. Hurry up and find the people from Jingzhao Prefecture and clean up the situation. At least let the people return to their normal lives, and the streets can't be so dirty anymore."
Sheng Mingyu happily went about his business without any objections.
At this time, Marquis Changping also ran to Gu Yunni after the matter was settled. He saw it when the chaos just happened, and was afraid of dying outside, so he naturally kept hiding.
Now that I see there is no trouble, I dare to come out.
"Yun Ni, how are you? You scared me to death. Can't you just listen to my advice? I'm doing this for your own good."
He cares more about his own life.
Gu Yunni got a headache when she heard his voice. The words he said were not nice and he drove her away after just a few words.
Since she doesn't really care, she doesn't care.
"It's okay, Lord, you should hurry home. The lakeside isn't safe right now. It would be terrible if you got hurt. I'm busy with a lot of things and can't protect you all the time. I hope you don't throw dirty water on me later."
Marquis Changping was so angry that he was out of breath and his chest was heaving violently.
Just as he was about to blame Gu Yunni, Du Changming's voice came from the side.
"Yun Ni! I heard that something happened in the lake and rushed here immediately. Are you hurt? Otherwise, I will go and ask the imperial physician, and by the way, go to the palace and tell my father that this is really not suitable for a woman like you to do." Du Changming's voice was full of anxiety, and he looked at Gu Yun Ni with worry.
He really wanted to use Gu Yunni, but he also really had feelings for her.
Gu Yunni took a step back and put some distance between them. "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine. You should go back to the Prince's Mansion. The lakeside is not safe. If something unexpected happens, you'll need someone to protect you."
Du Changming was stunned for a moment. "It's okay. Why do I need protection? I'll just watch from the side. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. By the way, how is that mystic master doing? He hasn't been back for a while. Why don't you ask him to go back when you have time? I also have something I want him to do."
