Chapter 534: The Evil Sect Reveals Its Footprints Again
The spiritual energy in the tower was mixed, with the remnants of thousands of magic spells. Li Changxiao activated the Five Treasures, entered a state of sleepwalking, and turned the fake temple into a real one. He received various blessings and maintained those multiple methods, which lasted for several days.
The spiritual energy in Jibeiming is as vast as the ocean, and it has not reached the bottom even after several days of consumption. A powerful cultivator can pick stars with his hands, move mountains with a thought, and stop the flow of rivers with a thought. This is no joke, and it shows how powerful he is.
Ji Beiming is the best among the powerful cultivators, so he is more fierce in the fight. Even if it is a war of attrition, he needs to be fully alert. But in the sky above the Dan Tower, Li Changxiao's long hair was nourished by the spiritual energy and turned golden.
Although this battle was fierce with the weak attacking the strong, they did not appear to be in disarray, and each of the five treasures showed their power. As the saying goes, one trains soldiers for a thousand days and deploys them for a moment. He has been training the treasures for more than a thousand days, and has also been deploying them for more than a moment.
Ji Beiming was anxious and angry, but he could not do anything to the opponent. His claws were sharp, but he could not break the wall of the Dan Tower, let alone the flying magic weapon.
Although his magic was powerful, Bai Yi could always stop it with one, two, or three magic weapons by using his spiritual energy. It turned into waves of explosions, but he could not break through.
Moreover, every move and style was a loss to him. With one side gaining and the other losing, this battle was really dangerous. Ji Beiming had a glorious life, and even though he had once lost, it was still a good thing. But looking back on the first half of his life, he had never fought such a strange battle.
The battle was still going on. Ji Beiming gradually lost his composure and looked around. He felt as if he was the turtle in the jar.
……
A few more days.
Dayu returned to peace. Wang Ruyi returned to the court to deal with the government affairs accumulated in the past few months. He was so tired that he frowned. The jade pen dipped in cinnabar, the strokes were the life and death of the people, which was very important.
The black tower suddenly appeared, and Wang Ruyi blocked the news with a secret order. Although the people in the city saw the tower, they did not know its origin. Although they were suspicious and curious, they had nowhere to investigate.
Recently, there was an incident that aroused discussion among the people in the city. After the birthday banquet that was a waste of money and labor, the empress seemed to have a sudden epiphany and became more diligent than before. She also made drastic changes and enacted several laws that were beneficial to both the people and the court.
It was not all Wang Ruyi's credit. During the parade, Li Changxiao often chatted with her and told her some secular views on the dynasty. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Wang Ruyi silently took note of it, often pondered it in private, and felt that there was indeed truth to it.
The king is high up in the palace, and what he sees are the clan landlords and tyrants. Even the most powerful emperor can hardly see through this barrier and see the people below, the people who depend on him but also hold him up.
This phenomenon became more and more serious as time went on. If the emperors of later generations had never even left the palace, and only obtained information about the lives of the people from the oral accounts of their ministers, memorials, and ancient books, they would be fooled.
Wang Ruyi couldn't predict what would happen in the future, and although she was worried about it, she could do nothing about it for the time being. However, there was one thing that she couldn't avoid, and she had to face it head on.
During Xiaozhen's reign, she ignored state affairs and only enjoyed entertainment for several months. Dayu's foundation was still there, but this period of time undoubtedly told the people below that she, Wang Ruyi, was a fickle person.
The gap was there, the emperor and the people were not on the same page. She needed to find a way to bridge it. After much thought, she realized that the best way to solve the problem was to face the matter head-on, boldly admit that she had been foolish for the past few months, and issue a confession of guilt to the world.
Wang Ruyi smiled bitterly again. He had confided this distress to the swordsman and thought of many reasons. In the end, the swordsman said lightly, "Just admit it boldly. It's inconvenient." At that time, Wang Ruyi felt that the swordsman was perfunctory and was secretly angry and depressed. Now that he has returned to his position, he has considered it for a long time. It was that casual remark that hit the nail on the head.
He is knowledgeable and well-versed in human nature, and his underlying thoughts are like wine. The more you savor it, the more you feel that this person is unique.
Soon, the edict of blaming oneself was issued. The ministers in the court were terrified and knelt in the hall, begging His Majesty to withdraw it, saying that this behavior would damage the national prestige and would be ridiculed and criticized by other countries.
Wang Ruyi laughed at the other party's short-sightedness and insisted on issuing it. Soon, it aroused enthusiastic response from the people. At first, there was endless abuse, but then it gradually turned into praise. It is a great virtue to admit mistakes and correct them. It is even more admirable that an emperor in a high position, without anyone to control him, can do this.
A few more days.
There was a sudden rain in Dayu. Wang Ruyi vaguely sensed something was wrong. He looked at the black tower and saw that the tower was shaking slightly. He was worried and wondered what stage the battle in the tower had reached.
However, the battle in the tower was still fierce. Ji Beiming displayed his water magic, and a wisp of energy overflowed, causing heavy rain outside. Not to mention the power inside the pagoda, the power was even more astonishing.
The first floor of Dan Tower had turned into a vast ocean. Li Changxiao flew to the second floor, and Ji Beiming chased him. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he, one of the three great geniuses of the mermaid tribe, did suffer a lot in this battle.
The rhythm was gradually controlled by the opponent. Now, he was in a desperate situation. It was difficult for him to kill the opponent. It was as if he was trapped in an endless mud and could not get out.
"Damn it!"
Ji Beiming's face had never looked so ugly before. He cursed softly, and there was a surge of anger in his chest. The next moment, he was in a trance, unable to tell whether the anger in his chest was real or fake, whether the current situation was real or fake, and even gradually unable to tell whether he was real or fake...
This battle almost tortured him to madness. Li Changxiao's main cultivation path was the Great Dao of Truth and Falsehood. It could complement dreams, but it was definitely not dependent on dreams.
……
A few more days.
The heavy rain gradually stopped and turned into a light drizzle. The hot summer also gradually turned into the cool autumn. The autumn rain was fine and moist, bathing the eaves and tiles, then flowing down along the texture, dripping into the gaps between the bluestone slabs, and returning to the earth.
Dayu is a city under the emperor's feet. The drainage channels in the city are perfect, so the heavy rain for several days did not cause much trouble, but it was inevitable that some work would be delayed. Today, the rain gradually subsided, and the people started working again. The streets have become bustling again.
at night.
Wang Ruyi was handling state affairs, and there was no one at night, so she dismissed the palace maids and changed into a nightgown. In the light of the fire, it looked half clear and half blurry, like ripe fruits on a fruit tree.
In the study, she picked up a pen to deal with state affairs, but at a certain moment, her brows were furrowed, and the light in the study was shaking, about to go out.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and she felt a chill on the back of her neck. The sudden sense of crisis made her scalp tingle, and her hands and soles broke out in sweat, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
But at this moment, a sword sounded suddenly, and the Qingping long sword he carried with him swung out a circle of light. The sense of crisis gradually subsided.
Wang Ruyi immediately drew out her sword and looked around. Her intuition told her that if it weren't for the Qingping sword protecting her, she would have certainly met with an accident.
The peripheral vision.
She glimpsed two dark shadows and half a blurry figure.
"That person is too mysterious. To be on the safe side, don't get too involved with him. Let's go!"
Then, the two figures disappeared.
Wang Ruyi's whole body was tense, holding the sword in both hands. She didn't know if it was affected by the long sword, but in a trance, she also saw the strong malice attached to the two figures.
I suddenly recalled the three words "Extremely Evil Sect" that Li Changxiao mentioned casually on the way.
