Chapter 436 Master Jueming
“We are going to run away again.”
After his whereabouts were exposed, Gu Xu did not dare to linger in Longzhou City.
He grabbed the snow girl's wrist and used "Qiankun" continuously. After many short-distance teleportations, the two of them arrived outside the city together.
Xue Nu was a little confused at first about Gu Xu's decisive escape.
Because in her perception, there was no powerful aura in Longzhou City - in other words, no one in the city could beat her.
But Gu Xu quickly told her that the officials in the Da Qi court were very good at convincing people.
The enemy they face next will definitely not be a mere thousand households in Longzhou, but a large group of strong men transferred from various nearby provinces.
Even Princess Zhaoning herself may bring Da Qi Imperial Master and several other powerful saints to intercept them personally.
Let’s not talk about whether we can beat him or not.
The aftermath of the battle between the saint-level experts was a terrifying natural disaster for the common people here.
After hearing his words, the snow girl nodded and silently lamented that the young master was thoughtful and thoughtful, which was far beyond what she, who had little social experience, could match.
After leaving Longzhou, Gu Xu’s true energy has basically recovered to its original state, enough to be used to build a space channel.
At this time they were not far from the western border of Daqi.
Only two more space shuttles are needed to get out of the borders of the Daqi Dynasty.
However, just when he took out his "astrolabe" and prepared to tear apart the space, he found that even if he devoted all his energy, those spider web-like space cracks failed to appear in front of him as usual.
"The space is blocked," he frowned and said to the snow girl, "it seems that the court's response is faster than we thought."
"Then...then what should we do? What to do?" In these days of getting along, Xue Nu has long been accustomed to Gu Xu making decisions.
“We have to rely on flying to escape from here,” Gu Xu replied. “If we encounter pursuers, we need to trouble Miss Lu to deal with them.”
“I promised, I will protect You." Snow Girl said in a calm voice.
Gu Xu smiled lightly.
He held the astrolabe in his hand, circulated his true energy, and floated into the air.
However, at this moment, a clear and loud crane chirped from the distance.
Gu Xu turned his head and saw a pure white ice crane spreading its wings, like a white lightning, flying straight towards where the two of them were.
The figure of the snow girl disappeared from the spot, and then appeared on the back of Binghe.
"Master, this is quick."
She flew to Gu Xu's side and pointed at her back expressionlessly.
Gu Xu quickly weighed it in his mind and believed that there was a high probability that there would be a fierce battle. He should save as much of his true energy as he could, and there was no need to waste it on flying.
So he put away the astrolabe and sat behind the snow girl.
The snow girl rode the ice crane, soared upwards, and instantly got into the clouds.
"Compared to riding a horse with Zhao Yan, this is more like riding a roller coaster." Gu Xu complained silently.
Binghe's acceleration was too rapid.
He instinctively put his arms around Yuki-onna's slender waist and managed to steady himself.
The snow girl's body is cool and soft, like soft and elastic jade.
The snow girl's thoughts suddenly stopped for a moment.
Although she had no sense of touch, Gu Xu's action of holding her had already given her a strong mental impact.
No one has hugged her since her mother died when she was young.
The people in Lu's house have always been distant and respectful towards her.
After turning into a ghost, no one dared to approach her.
But at this moment, she was tightly next to a young man, her back pressed against his chest. She couldn't feel his body temperature, but she could clearly hear his breathing and heartbeat, and could also imagine the warmth of his embrace. Her heart had stopped beating for nearly two decades.
However, at this moment, she had the illusion that her heartbeat was reviving.
Gu Xu's hand soon let go.
He took out a "Wind Talisman" and stuck it on his body so that he could sit firmly on the back of the ice crane and would not fall off easily.
"Sorry, Miss Lu," he said, "I offended you accidentally just now, please forgive me."
His words were as polite and polite as ever.
But Yuki-onna feels that sometimes his politeness is like a chasm - even though he is close at hand, she feels like he is far away and can never be touched.
The closeness brought about by shared senses seems to be just her own illusion.
"It's okay, I don't mind." She said softly.
…………
at the same time.
A few miles away in Fengxiang Mansion, a huge floating airship shuttled rapidly among the clouds.
Around the flying boat, there are hundreds of practitioners flying with swords.
There were three people standing at the ornately decorated bow of the ship -
The graceful Princess Zhaoning Xiao Wanjun with red lips and white teeth, and the simple-dressed and slim Imperial Master of Daqi.
There is also a wrinkled old monk wearing cassock, holding a Zen staff.
Princess Zhaoning is holding a square object in her hand - made of white jade and intertwined with dragon buttons. It is the jade seal of the Daqi Dynasty.
This jade seal is carved from the Tai'a sword, and is attached with the aura of the Tai'a sword. At certain times, it can exert part of the power of "the most famous weapon in the world".
Emperor Tianxing allowed Princess Zhaoning to take Yuxi out of the capital, which showed his strong determination to arrest Gu Xu.
"Your Highness, with the help of the Da Qi Jade Seal, I have set up large formations in Fengxiang, Longzhou, Jingzhou, Weizhou, and Qinzhou to block the space," Da Qi State Master said to Princess Zhaoning He arched his hands and said, "Even the saints and powerful men are unable to build a space channel here to travel long distances."
As he spoke, the Imperial Master looked a little tired.
Even with the blessing of the power of Yuxi, maintaining such a huge formation is not an easy task for him.
“Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Master,” Princess Zhaoning said, “You haven’t recovered from your injuries last time, so I bother you to take action this time. It’s really too——”
“—— It is my duty to serve Daqi." The Imperial Master shook his head and interrupted her.
At this time, Princess Zhaoning turned to look at the old monk in cassock: "Master Jueming, I have to rely on you to deal with Xue Nu and Gu Xu this time."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much," the old monk said calmly, "The method of Lingshan Temple has a strong restraint effect on evil spirits. In the same realm, no ghosts can be the opponent of Lao Monk.
"It's just that there are The old monk couldn't understand this matter -
"Why should the imperial court use this favor on such a trivial matter as arresting fugitives."
This old monk is the great monk. Master Jueming, the abbot of Lingshan Temple, one of the three major sects in Qi, is also a strong saint.
But it is different from saints like Guoshi and Luochuan who directly serve the court.
Leaders of one party, such as Xu Man, the master of Jiange Pavilion, and Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple, have a great degree of freedom to act. Although they all have the title of guest minister in the imperial court, they are not usually dispatched by the imperial court. They usually only come to help when the Qi Dynasty is invaded by foreign enemies.
So this time, in order to invite Master Jueming to help capture Gu Xu, Princess Zhaoning had to use up a favor owed by the court to Lingshan Temple.
"The importance my father attaches to Gu Xu is extraordinary," Princess Zhaoning responded. "The first order he personally gave after so many years of seclusion was to arrest Gu Xu."
"Oh, that's it," Master Jueming nodded thoughtfully, "During the Lantern Festival Arena competition, Lao Na's disciple Jingru had a fight with Gu Xu and came back defeated. At that time I I feel that Gu Xu is something special.
“Now it seems that he has more secrets than I thought. ”
