There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

Among the people accommodated in the palace were not only ordinary people who were in great panic, but also some monks.

For example, Gu Xia just glanced casually and caught a glimpse of the group of young people they met in the inn.

Wang Jian seized the opportunity and came over, his voice unable to conceal his nervousness: "I feel that there is a big problem with this imperial city. Have you reported it to the five sects and asked the elders to help?"

Seeing his tense nerves, Gu Xia answered casually: "I have contacted the elders in the sect, but there is a barrier outside, and people outside can't get in and people inside can't get out."

And judging from the current situation outside the formation, it is probably impossible to get out even if you want to.

"What should we do?" Wang Jian suddenly became anxious: "We won't die here, right?"

It’s not surprising that he was scared, mainly because he had never seen such a horrific scene before.

A group of ghosts were staring at them nakedly through the formation with greedy eyes, coupled with the eerie sharp screams.

Even more fucking scary, okay?

"Don't panic."

Gu Xia patted him on the shoulder and said casually, "Think about it, with so many people here, even if you really die, you won't feel lonely or cold."

Wang Jian: “…”

Why didn't he hear any sign of anxiety in Gu Xia's tone?

Thinking of this, the boy was no longer nervous.

Also.

Anyway, all the direct disciples of the five sects are here. If anything happens to them, those elders and high-ranking officials will turn the entire imperial city upside down.

Wang Jian made up his mind and called his friends to come over, intending to seek a sense of security by following his disciple.

Gu Xia glanced at him, guessed what he was thinking, but didn't say much.

For some reason, the situation suddenly became calm these past two days, and only a few of the large number of ghosts wandering outside remained. She rarely broke away from the state of constantly drawing talismans, and planned to take a leisurely stroll around the palace.

The disciples took turns to be on guard at night, and one happened to be from Lingjian Sect, so she called a few brothers to join in without any psychological burden.

After all, these are extraordinary times, and Gu Xia wouldn't be stupid enough to act alone.

What if someone tricks you?

Xie Baiyi glanced at the departing figures and looked away expressionlessly.

got used to.

Xu Xingmu asked: "Junior sister, where are we going?"

The palace was quite large, and they were certainly not just wandering around aimlessly.

Gu Xia: "Look for where the eldest prince lives."

She has a clear goal.

Jiang Chaoxu guessed something: "Do you want to find out what role he played in this matter?"

Gu Xia nodded. There was still something in her mind that she didn't understand, and her intuition told her that there was something seriously wrong with this person.

The few of them had already familiarized themselves with the topographic map of the palace. After turning several corners, they suddenly heard a burst of conversation.

All of them were monks, and they could see clearly even at night.

At a corner not far from the eldest prince's residence, two figures, one tall and one short, stood very close to each other, as if they were discussing something.

Gu Xia held his breath slightly, maintaining a distance where he could hear sounds but not be discovered. He raised his hand, made a gesture, and quietly set up a soundproof formation in the blink of an eye to wrap up his fellow brothers.

Because he couldn't figure out the other party's strength, Ye Sui'an drew a few notes on his palm and stuck them on several people.

Double insurance, it’s all about the heartbeat.

*

Gu Xia has a good memory.

After all, she had just dealt with the eldest prince at close range during the day, so she naturally remembered his physical features.

She looked carefully and found that the tall figure matched his features exactly, so she whispered to remind several senior brothers.

Ye Sui'an looked up at the sky.

During this period of panic, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, the two shadows chose this place to meet.

No matter how you look at it, he's not a good person.

Just as the five of them were holding their breath, a voice suddenly came from behind them: "What are you doing hiding here?"

Several people were almost frightened to the point of jumping up on the spot.

Fortunately, Gu Xia reacted quickly and grabbed the man behind him and pressed his head into the range of the formation.

Seeing that the other party still wanted to struggle, Ye Sui'an held a immobilization talisman in his left hand and a silence talisman in his right hand.

With a snap, it's safe.

Yu Heng, who was inexplicably forced in, said: “?”

Fortunately, their movements were not too big, and the two people talking over there didn't seem to notice the movement here.

Gu Xia's heart was beating as fast as a drum at this moment. After calming down with great effort, he caught a glimpse of the face of the person who came and was immediately happy.

"why you?"

Yu Heng widened his eyes, trying to kill her with his eyes.

"It's okay to untie you, but you can't make any noise, or I'll tie you up."

Ye Sui'an: "If you agree, blink once, if you disagree, blink twice."

Yu Heng blinked in frustration.

Then several people carefully untied him.

"you--"

Yu Heng opened his mouth to curse, but Xu Xingmu, who was quick-witted, covered his mouth and pushed him down.

Gu Xia narrowed his eyes dangerously and stretched out his hand to gesture to him to wipe his neck.

"..."

Seeing that he had finally calmed down, the few of them carefully looked into the distance.

Yu Heng also noticed the two people's strange movements and questioned: "Who are those two? They don't look like good people."

Gu Xia agreed with his attack power and whispered: "Listen carefully."

The night breeze was blowing, and the sound of two people's low conversation could be heard in the quiet air.

"How long will it take for you to completely absorb the power of luck?"

A hoarse voice sounded, and the temperature dropped by several degrees: "In seven days at most, I will be able to leave this body and come to the human world."

The people hiding in the dark were suddenly startled.

Xu Xingmu's eyes indicated: "Accomplice?"

Gu Xia: “It looks like it.”

Ye Sui'an touched his chin and said, "There are still seven days left. From what he said, the remnant soul should be in his body."

Yu Heng was furious: "What are you waiting for? Catch them and torture them to find out why they harmed innocent and kind people like us."

Jiang Chaoxu held him down and said, "Don't be impatient yet. Let's see what else they have to say. It won't be too late to take action after they have finished listening."

"..." Yu Heng gave him a subtle look: "You alchemists are really cunning."

Jiang Chaoxu: "?"

He smiled: "Can I poison him now?"

"Don't be impulsive, Fourth Brother. Impulsiveness is the devil."

Gu Xia finally managed to persuade the man to leave. She turned around and looked at the two figures carefully.

I always feel that the shorter figure looks indescribably familiar.

Although wearing a hood, the thoughts in Gu Xia's mind became stronger and stronger.

She was eager to give the other party a sword to see who was causing trouble in secret.

Fortunately, the senior brother held her head, which stopped her from having dangerous thoughts.

"After seven days, no one in this imperial city will be able to escape."
