On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

She swung her sword and shouted, "Do you think you can defeat us easily? You are totally wrong!"

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded, and the men in black retreated quickly, as if they had received instructions.

"General, they are retreating!" a soldier reported.

Xiao Xiangzi frowned: "They must have a bigger conspiracy, keep chasing them!"

After a fierce chase, Xiaoxiangzi and her team finally found an ancient altar deep in the forest. In the center of the altar was a gem that was shining with blue light, which was obviously some kind of important item.

"This is the treasure they are guarding!" a soldier said excitedly.

Xiaoxiangzi looked around cautiously: "Don't act rashly, check if there are any traps first."

As she was observing carefully, a familiar voice came: "It's you, you've broken into our territory again."

Everyone turned around and saw Night Wolf appear again, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Night Wolf! You won't succeed this time!" Xiao Xiangzi stepped forward fearlessly.

Yelang sneered: "You got away with it last time, but it won't be that easy this time." He waved his staff, and the blue light emerged again, rushing towards Xiaoxiangzi and others like a tide.

"Everyone disperse!" Xiaoxiangzi gave the order decisively, and at the same time stood in front at the fastest speed.

A golden light suddenly flashed, and Jiang Yanwan once again raised the ancient key to block the blue light. Two powerful forces intertwined in the air, and the entire altar was filled with lightning and thunder.

"How dare you use that key!" Night Wolf roared angrily.

"This key is our greatest weapon!" Xiaoxiangzi swung his sword vigorously and fought fiercely with Yelang.

At the same time, the other soldiers also formed a circle to protect Jiang Yanwan, allowing her to concentrate on controlling the power of the key.

The battle became fierce. Night Wolf seemed to have sensed something and suddenly shouted, "Stop! You will destroy everything!"

"What is he talking about?" a soldier asked in confusion.

"Keep attacking, don't believe his sweet words!" Xiaoxiangzi commanded firmly.

Seeing this, Night Wolf suddenly revealed a hint of a sneer: "Very good, then let you have a taste of real power!"

As he spoke, the orb on the altar burst into a dazzling blue light, and the entire forest was instantly shrouded in a strange halo.

"Oh no! This light is a strong irritation to our eyes." A soldier shouted, covering his eyes.

"Everyone close your eyes and feel the changes around you!" Xiaoxiangzi ordered loudly.

At this critical moment, Jiang Yanwan suddenly realized something. She quickly adjusted the direction of the key, focusing the golden light on one point and shooting it directly towards the gem.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the blue light and the golden light collided violently, and the entire altar shook continuously.

“You…actually…” Night Wolf widened his eyes in shock, “Impossible!”

"No evil force can stop our determination!" Xiao Xiangzi attacked fiercely and finally shattered Night Wolf's defense completely.

Night Wolf screamed and fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth: "You... won this time... but one day... the Northern Wilderness Church will rise again..."

After saying this, his body gradually disappeared in the blue light, as if he had never existed.

"Did we succeed?" a soldier couldn't believe his eyes.

"For now, yes, but we can't let our guard down." Xiao Xiangzi looked at the slowly calming altar, "There are still many unsolved mysteries in this place."

"General, what should we do with this pearl?" Jiang Yanwan asked.

Xiao Xiangzi pondered for a moment and said, "This pearl looks very important. We must bring it back to the capital and let the emperor decide its fate personally."

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to protect this gem." A soldier nodded.

Return to Beijing

When Xiaoxiangzi and others returned to the capital with the pearl, the entire palace was shocked. The emperor immediately summoned all the ministers to prepare for an emergency meeting.

"We must find out as soon as possible what secrets this gem contains." The emperor looked at the gem that was flashing blue light with a solemn expression.

Jiang Yanwan suggested: "Perhaps we should invite the best scholars and Taoists in the country to assist in the research."

"Okay, let's do as you say." The emperor nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone was discussing this, hurried footsteps were heard outside the palace. A messenger came in a hurry and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, the front line is in danger, the enemy is approaching!"

Everyone's expression instantly turned solemn.

"What happened? Tell me in detail!" Wu Junyao asked hurriedly.

The messenger took a deep breath and continued to report: "The army of the Northern Wilderness Cult is rapidly approaching our border. According to front-line reconnaissance, they are equipped with new tactics and weapons, and the battle situation is very tense."

The emperor's eyes were sharp, and he immediately ordered: "All generals, go to the imperial study immediately to discuss countermeasures."

All the generals obeyed the order and left. Jiang Yanwan put away the keys and followed with Xiao Xiangzi.

In the imperial study, the atmosphere was extremely tense. A map was spread out on the table, and various tactical plans were discussed quickly.

General Ling Xiao spoke first: "I suggest sending an elite force to the border for support. At the same time, allocate more resources to the front line to ensure that they can hold on."

"That's right," Wu Junyao agreed, "We still need to step up our investigation of the enemy's true intentions to prevent them from launching a larger offensive."

Jiang Yanwan frowned and thought: "According to our intelligence, the Northern Wilderness Cult has been secretly accumulating strength over the years. They suddenly launched a large-scale attack, which clearly shows that they are well prepared. We cannot underestimate the enemy."

The emperor nodded in agreement: "My dear ministers, what you said is very true. We must go all out to protect our country. Take action immediately and ensure the safety of the capital and the border!"

At this moment, a strange voice sounded outside the imperial study: "Perhaps, I can help."

Everyone turned around and saw an old man in strange clothes walking slowly towards them, holding an ancient staff in his hand.

"Who are you?" the emperor asked puzzledly.

The old man smiled and said, "I am a Taoist priest of Tianji. I have lived in the mountains for a long time. I have some understanding of the Northern Wilderness Sect and I am willing to lend a helping hand to the Ming Dynasty."

When Xiao Xiangzi heard the name, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Tianji Taoist? It is said that you are proficient in celestial phenomena and formations. Is this true?"

Taoist Tianji nodded: "Indeed. The strange arts of the Northern Wilderness Sect originated from ancient times. I have done some research on them and can help you crack the enemy's tricks."

Jiang Yanwan narrowed her eyes and asked, "So, what suggestions do you have?"

Taoist Tianji stroked his beard and said, "The enemy is using a powerful spiritual power to drive their new weapon, and the key and orb in your hands can be the key to counterattack. I will set up a five-element formation to enhance their power."

The emperor made a happy decision: "Okay, thank you, Taoist Tianji, for assisting us in resisting the enemy with all your strength."

Taoist Tianji saluted and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do my best."

a few days later

The atmosphere on the front line was becoming increasingly tense. The enemy was approaching and could launch a general attack at any time. The elite troops led by Xiao Xiangzi also rushed to the border to join the other troops.

On an open battlefield, Xiao Xiangzi stood on a high place and observed the enemy situation. Her eyes were as sharp as torches, and she did not relax at all.

"General, the enemy army has gathered in front." The scout reported quickly.

"Everyone prepare to fight, don't retreat even a single step!" Xiao Xiangzi gave the order calmly.
