Chapter 56: Dissuasion to no avail
In front, a middle-aged man wearing pure white Taoist robes stood in the sky. He was handsome and handsome, with a majestic figure and an appearance that was relegated to an immortal.
He Shutong narrowed his eyes coldly:
"Xun Zuo?"
The man named Xun Zuo smiled happily and said: "I didn't expect that thirty years have passed. Xiaodao is really flattered that Venerable Lianjian can still remember Xiaodao's name."
"It's hard to forget someone as disgusting as you." He Shutong's tone was cold and dangerous. The sword chirped softly.
Xun Yan was not angry either, and continued to look calm and calm.
Unexpectedly, in He Shutong's view, Xun Zuo looked like a different scene. A thin dark red python was wrapped around his white clothes. The scales of the thin python were densely packed, and the pattern on the scales looked like a star. The fallen eyeballs, coupled with Xun Tiao's real face hanging down like rotten meat, looked extremely weird.
"It is not easy to forget a fairy as beautiful as Lord Lotus Sword."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword energy soaring into the sky swept over, blowing up the mountain wall behind him. Mostly naked. He Shutong stood silently holding his sword. There was no one around where Xun Tiao was just now, only the half of his white robe that had been chopped off was floating in the air.
"Venerable Lianjian still has such a bad temper." Xun Tiao stood in the air with lingering fear.
He Shutong didn't say a word, he stood up directly with his feet on the ground, and the next sword was already coming.
Xun Tiao did not fight with him, but just avoided it. He almost missed the sword force several times, and he couldn't help being shocked.
It is said that in order to seek an opportunity to break through the realm, the Lotus Sword Venerable sealed off his cultivation and retreated into the mortal world to practice. However, he did not expect that he would still be terrifying without his cultivation. He truly deserves the title of the number one female sword cultivator.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let you go back to Izumo City, but this is not the time." Xun Tiao quietly placed his right hand on a dark gourd at his waist.
“What happened to Izumo Castle!”
“Your Majesty, you asked the wrong person. My mission is just to delay you.”
“You can’t delay me. Stay with me."
He Shutong glared, she was not invincible against this evil cultivator, but he only knew how to dodge, which made people a little irritated.
She held her sword like a lotus and didn't hold back her hand at all. Xun Yan was not afraid and retreated as if he had expected it. While retreating, she used several spells formed by the dark black energy to block it. He Shutong's offensive.
He Shutong's eyes were determined, and any spell was like a thin piece of paper in front of her sword. Just when she broke through the last barrier, the gourd in Xun Tong's hand just sprayed out a cloud of ink mist that covered the sky and the sun. Wrap up He Shutong.
The black mist flows like a spiritual consciousness, like a huge and strange black jellyfish.
Xun Zuo looked at the jellyfish suspended in the air with sinister eyes, and immediately began to meditate to recover, and said hatefully:
"There is not even Xuan Qi, I don't believe it and I can't hold it off. You..."
...
On the city wall of Izumo City, a group of people looked far into the distance, trying to see the scene outside the city through the fog, but there was nothing but milky white. Not visible either.
Zhou Yichang tried to stretch his head out but didn't see anything. He couldn't help but ask:
"City Master Liu, is there really the evil spirit as big as a mountain you mentioned outside the city?"
City Lord Liu clasped his hands behind his back, he moved his eyes away and said: "I'm not wrong... It may be a good thing for us that it hasn't come for a long time, which means that the time interval between its two puffs of mist is not short. It will be easier for us to escape after it spits out fog next time."
Zhou Yichang nodded. Although all this is based on City Lord Liu's guess, there is no other way. way to improve your chances of winning.
Lu Muchun touched the mist and said helplessly: "This mist is really weird. How can we stop it from spreading into the city?" The Xuanqi released at home and abroad turned into an invisible wall, and the diffuse mist actually bypassed this invisible wall. "Although releasing Xuan Qi outside can stop it, how can we, the water-condensing monks, cover the entire city?"
City Lord Liu shook his head, and he also thought about this. There is no good way. Even if they can cover it, they can't continuously output Xuan Qi like that. He then asked Qi Daodong on the side:
"Have you told everyone in the city to close the doors and windows?"
"I have asked Wu Cheng and others to do it." Qi Daodong replied.
"Well... City Lord Qi, the granary in the City Lord's Mansion doesn't have much food. It's probably enough to feed the people of the city for three days. You don't want to distribute food today and tomorrow. You need to plan the distribution of food. Try to extend the eating time as much as possible. If there is a riot among the people, you must use thunderous means to suppress it in time, and do not disturb the people's hearts."
Qi Daodong nodded in agreement, and City Lord Liu chose the candidate to leave the city. Since then, he has been telling him in detail about the arrangements for running the city, which also made Qi Daodong sigh at the greatness of Lord Liu. He even offered to let City Lord Liu stay while he went out of the city to report the news, but City Lord Liu ruthlessly refused. The only person here who has ever seen a truly evil person is City Lord Liu, who was born in the Holy Mountain. No one except him can grasp the glimmer of hope for survival.
"City Lord, You Su has something to report." A servant came up from the side and said to City Lord Liu.
City Lord Liu was stunned for a moment. He clearly remembered that he had asked Zhou Li to send You Su home: "Let him come up."
"Yes."
Not long after, You Su emerged from the mist. He lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly.
“You Su has met Lord Liu.”
“Well, what do you want to report?”
You Su paused for a while and then said: “I think Lord Liu You shouldn't leave the city rashly."
"Oh? What's the explanation?" City Master Liu asked, and the sect leaders beside him also became interested and looked over.
"City Lord Yanagi and several sect masters are the backbone of the city. Each of you is indispensable to Izumo City today. With you here, maybe we can delay it for a moment longer and support it. Come to the reinforcements."
City Lord Liu smiled, thinking that Yu Su had some novel insights:
"You are a good boy, Yu Su, but you are blind and can't see that. As long as you see it, you will understand that it is unstoppable with or without us, so in this case, we must find ways to find reinforcements as soon as possible.”
"Then, City Lord, have you ever thought about what if there's more than just the evil spirit you saw in this fog? Then wouldn't this trip mean you're going to die?"
Hearing this, several sect leaders showed surprised expressions. They had indeed never thought of this possibility. After all, they had never seen even an evil spirit with their own eyes until now. The only evil spirit had listened to City Master Liu's unilateral narration.
“I have thought about it, it is indeed possible.” The smile on City Master Liu’s face did not diminish, “If you really don’t dare to leave the city because of this, then I will live an extra two days with my old bones. What's the point? Instead of doing this, it's better to go out of the city and fight for that little hope."
Everyone felt tragic when they heard this.
You Su also felt helpless and could only respect the city lord's choice. He really couldn't say anything too deliberate.
“The Lord of the City is righteous.” You Su sighed, “Then You Su will retire.”
“Yes.” Lord Liu nodded.
You Su bowed his head and retreated, feeling extremely confused. He turned around and was about to go downstairs, his eyes inevitably turned to the distant sky outside the city, but suddenly something loomed in Yousu's chaotic eyes...
It was... a huge silhouette like a mountain!
