Chapter 187: Fallen into a trap
In order not to attract attention, Wei Yi and the others landed in an uninhabited area.
"Wait for me here. I'll go to the city to buy you some clothes first," Shachen said.
After all, Wei Yi's appearance is too eye-catching and can easily attract the attention of interested people.
He knew very well that the Celestial Beings Sect had many eyes and ears. If the Celestial Beings Sect noticed any abnormalities, it would probably lead to the failure of their mission.
"No need to bother!" Wei Yi called out to Shachen, and immediately started painting in the void with a brush.
It didn't take long to draw a simple and plain outfit and two bamboo hats.
The moment he put down the pen, the clothes and hat appeared.
Wei Yi put on his clothes directly and put on his hat.
But this kind of ordinary clothes still couldn't hide his extraordinary appearance.
After all, his newly reborn appearance is really eye-catching.
So Wei Yi took the paintbrush again and painted on the exposed parts of his face and hands.
His appearance suddenly changed, and his skin seemed to have become weathered.
Paired with the outfit, he is really no different from ordinary people walking in the world.
This series of operations really surprised Shachen.
He secretly thought that Wei Yi had so many tricks. He could even create clothes and change his appearance out of thin air. It was simply unbelievable.
But this saved them a lot of trouble.
Wei Yi also drew a set of powerful outfits for Sha Chen to put on.
And some "creation" was also done on his face, which immediately changed Shachen's appearance greatly.
Finally, Wei Yi also disguised the items he brought with him, and then walked towards the official road with Sha Chen.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, the two of them quietly came to the official road and walked forward.
The figures of the two people quickly blended into the business travelers on the road and disappeared, and they really couldn't attract the slightest attention from others.
After Wei Yi and Sha Chen entered Luan County, they found an inn near the city and stayed temporarily.
As night fell, there was restlessness and commotion inside and outside the palace.
Since Zhao Jinsi disappeared out of thin air, Emperor Yanshun immediately ordered a search of the entire harem.
The Ouchi guards led the eunuchs and maids to search almost every corner of the harem, especially Ruijing Palace. They almost turned everything upside down and barely dug three feet into the ground.
But in the end, no trace of Zhao Jinsi was found.
Then he ordered people to interrogate the eunuchs and maids on duty in Ruijing Palace one by one.
But the result remained the same. Just as the chief eunuch said before, Zhao Jinsi really seemed to disappear out of thin air.
No one saw her leave the room, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Emperor Yanshun was even more confused, and he also personally went to Ruijing Palace to check, and indeed found nothing unusual.
He couldn't figure out who could take Zhao Jinsi away quietly under his eyes in this strict harem. This was really unbelievable.
But he didn't give up just yet. After all, if he didn't investigate this matter clearly, he would feel like a knot in his throat.
He ordered to expand the scope of the search and set his sights outside the palace, so the entire capital was in commotion for a while.
At the same time, Zhao She was also called to the imperial study room by Emperor Yanshun to find out the truth.
After Zhao She heard the news, his face was full of worry and anxiety, and he quickly asked about the specific details at that time.
The entire reaction and state relieved Emperor Yanshun's suspicion of him.
Moreover, Zhao She has also been under his supervision and cannot do anything.
As for Zhao Ziyun, he had already left the capital.
His stay in the capital was also very short, and he had no time to deploy plans.
What's more, there are no connections of the Zhao family in the entire capital.
Therefore, Emperor Yanshun also felt that the father and son were not that capable.
But here comes the problem, if it wasn’t the Zhao family’s fault.
So where did Zhao Jinsi go, and who took her away from the palace?
After returning to his residence from the imperial study room, Zhao She sat down on the chair, and the solemn expression on his face relaxed.
The poem "Mulan Poem" came to mind again, and Zhao Ziyun's hint came to mind.
Although his face was calm, his heart was already blooming with joy.
After carefully reading the poem based on Zhao Ziyun's hint that day, he had some guesses in his mind.
But later, when he met Zhao Jinsi in front of Emperor Yan Jing, he felt a little hesitant again.
Because the person she saw in front of her was indeed her daughter, no different at all.
Although he had an intuition in his heart that something was wrong with the other party.
But it does look like she is her daughter, and the communication between them seems to be genuine.
But he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, feeling that Zhao Ziyun would definitely not really send Zhao Jinsi to the palace.
My heart has been hanging around to this day, and I finally got the answer after suffering.
Unexpectedly, the answer was far more bizarre than he expected.
His daughter disappeared out of thin air in the palace, which made him happy.
I was also shocked.
He couldn't figure out what method Zhao Ziyun used to achieve such an incredible operation.
It made him very happy and secretly relieved.
As long as his daughter is safe, he has nothing to fear.
But what worries him right now is the alliance.
I don’t know if Emperor Yanshun blew himself up on purpose that day to scare him, or if something really happened.
Hope it’s fake!
Zhao She prayed secretly, after all, if the Tianxia Alliance fell, the fate of the Great Yan Dynasty would be even more worrying.
Late at night, Yunzhou City was quiet, with almost no pedestrians on the streets.
Dozens of figures dressed in night clothes quietly approached the Tianren Sect Taoist Temple.
After communicating with each other with gestures, they dispersed and immediately climbed over the wall and entered the Taoist temple.
But soon, fierce fighting and shouting sounded in the Taoist temple.
Deputy leader Song, who was leading the team, held a long sword and almost killed the rushing Celestial Cult monks one by one.
But he knew that these people were not really monks from the Celestial Being Sect, but were soldiers disguised as soldiers.
Naturally, they also heard about the news that the government had sent more than 2,000 city guards.
Although the Tianxia Alliance suffered heavy losses, they are still very strong in intelligence collection.
Adequate investigation and preparation work has also been done in advance.
What's more, when two thousand city guards entered the Tianren Sect Taoist Temple, even if they were hiding, there would be no signs to follow.
Deputy leader Song led the crowd to continuously charge and kill, and soon the Taoist temple was filled with blood and corpses.
However, Deputy Leader Song did not see Elder He who was sitting here take action.
Not even a Foundation Establishment monk was seen.
He immediately took off a signal cannon from his waist and fired a stream of fireworks into the sky.
Then it exploded in the air and turned into red sparks that spread out, lighting up the night sky.
Soon, another twenty or so men in black appeared from different corners and quickly rushed into the Tianren Sect Taoist Temple.
Seeing this scene, Elder He, who was hiding in the dark with concealment magic, flashed his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile. Secretly, luckily I was prepared!
"All the fish are in the urn!" Elder He said with a smile.
A man in black next to him immediately turned his head and asked, "Master, do you want to take action?"
"Yes!" Elder He nodded.
The man in black immediately bowed and quietly approached the Taoist temple. He held the talisman between his fingers and poured his blood into it.
With both hands making secrets, the talisman suddenly turned into a dazzling red light rising into the sky.
Finally, it turned into a huge red rune over the Taoist temple.
At the same time, the Foundation Establishment monks who were also hiding around the Taoist temple started making spells after seeing this.
He used his own essence and blood to inspire the talisman, turning it into red lights that converged towards the huge talisman in the air.
In an instant, an invisible field seemed to envelope the entire Taoist temple.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of everyone in the Tianxia Alliance who were originally fighting in the Taoist temple changed, and they couldn't help but look up in the air.
However, at this moment, the chests of those around them wearing the robes of the Celestial Being Sect suddenly lit up with red light.
Suddenly they screamed in pain, their bodies twisted and deformed, their mouths grew, and they turned their backs to the sky. Countless blood poured out of their seven orifices.
Like blood lines, it began to spread towards the sky.
Countless blood lines intertwined into a large red net around the Taoist temple, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, as if they were the roots of a big tree, or like the blood vessels of the human body, spreading in the night sky.
It exudes a strange red light and looks extremely strange and scary.
The terrifying pressure was like a huge tsunami that covered the sky and the sun, covering the entire Taoist temple.
"Sure enough, there is a trap!" Deputy Alliance Leader Song looked solemn, looking at the strange scenes around him with some horror.
In fact, they had guessed that the Tianren Sect would definitely be prepared and even set up an ambush to deal with them.
But I didn’t expect that the Celestial Being Sect would do anything.
He even used such evil and bloody magic, and actually used more than two thousand city guards as sacrifices to condense this terrifying formation.
Deputy Alliance Leader Song's guess was correct.
This is indeed a formation, and it is an evil and taboo formation.
It was obtained by Elder He accidentally from an ancient skeleton.
As long as a human being is sacrificed, extremely terrifying power can be summoned.
Using the flesh, blood and vitality of living people as the source of energy, a powerful formation is formed.
As long as there are enough people to sacrifice, even monks in the Nascent Soul realm can be eaten alive.
Of course, to fully control the power of this forbidden formation, a monk of at least the Golden Core Realm is required to control it.
So after the formation was activated, Elder He also appeared.
He immediately sat cross-legged on the top of the formation, entered the formation with his own essence and blood, and began to control the formation to attack everyone in the Tianxia Alliance.
As Elder He controlled the formation, the pressure became more tyrannical.
Everyone in the Tianxia Alliance looked ugly, their energy and blood were weak, and they even couldn't raise their strength.
"Go and cut off those people's connection with the formation!" Deputy Alliance Leader Song shouted.
He immediately swung his sword and slashed at a sacrificed soldier beside him.
There was a bang.
The long sword defeated the red light and cut the body of the sacrificial man into two pieces.
But the blood in his body is still condensing upward.
Deputy Alliance Leader Song's expression was solemn, and he immediately raised his sword again, but this sword was directed towards the line of blood flowing upward.
There was another bang.
He cut off all the blood lines, completely cutting off the connection between the sacrificed person and the formation.
He knew very well that these city guards were the energy source of this formation.
If all contact with the formation is cut off, the formation will probably collapse.
However, he is a third-grade warrior. With his strength, he can cut off the bloodline with one sword.
But among the people he brought, the strongest were only at the fifth level, and most of them were only at the sixth or seventh level.
They tried their best but could not cut off the blood lines.
However, at this moment, the scarlet plasma condensed into ferocious tentacles above.
It began to attack the people of the Tianxia Alliance in the Taoist temple.
Everyone immediately dodged and blocked, or took the initiative to attack.
But those tentacles were extremely fast and terrifyingly powerful, piercing through the bodies of many people in an instant.
On one side of the world alliance, there were immediate casualties.
Moreover, the bodies of those killed by the tentacles also distorted and deformed, and in the end they also became sacrifices. Their blood and vitality were extracted and gathered towards the formation.
But it made the formation more powerful, and the incoming tentacles were faster and more terrifying.
Everyone in the Tianxia Alliance was locked in a fierce battle, and most of them were seriously injured and covered in blood.
Moreover, this formation actually has the ability to suck blood. The blood from the wound will be sucked away crazily and can only be controlled with air pressure.
But this makes his own strength weaker.
So soon, more and more people couldn't hold it any longer and were killed by the tentacles, becoming sacrifices to the formation.
Deputy leader Song was also under the suppression and attack of that large formation, and was unable to do anything at all.
Fortunately, at this time, Deputy Leader Yang, who was originally ambushing outside the city, finally arrived.
He led thirty monks and fifty warriors to kill from the surroundings.
The target is none other than the Celestial Being cultivators who are guarding the formation around the Taoist temple.
Almost instantly, the Celestial Being cultivator who was concentrating on guarding the formation was killed on the spot.
Although this formation is powerful, it has no effect against areas outside the law.
In addition, the Celestial Cult monks poured all their magic power into the formation, and all their spiritual consciousness was also gathered in the formation.
So they themselves became a complete target.
The Tianxia Alliance and the Tianren Sect have fought countless times.
So they also guessed that Elder He would definitely not stay in the Taoist temple even if he knew there might be danger.
Instead, he hid first and waited for the opportunity.
Therefore, Deputy Leader Song and his group were used as bait to lure out Elder He.
Elder He mistakenly thought that the people from their Tianxia Alliance who came this time did not pose any threat to him and showed up.
When the time comes, as long as Elder He appears, their real main force and masters will emerge to surround Elder He,
but none of them expected that Elder He has such a vicious method.
As all the Celestial Being cultivators who were guarding the formation were killed, the formation suddenly seemed to lose its balance and seemed to collapse.
"Damn it, I fell into a trap!" Elder He's expression changed, and then he realized that he had underestimated the enemy.
However, it was too late. He was mainly responsible for controlling the formation, so he was killed along with the monks who were protecting the formation.
The formation's operation was completely out of control, and finally collapsed, and the violent energy caused a backlash to Elder He.
It shocked him so much that he vomited blood and flew backwards.
At the same time, Deputy Alliance Leader Yang was approaching.
He was also a golden elixir realm monk. He immediately pinched the spell and controlled the flying sword to strike at the injured Elder He.
