Pawn Crossing the River

On this side, Cihang Zhenren and Su Yuanzai held back Xiao Bodhisattva and Zhang Wuhen, while on the other side, the King of Liao and another pseudo-immortal of the court had already gone deep into the sea of ​​clouds.

Qi Xuansu certainly couldn't let them do what they wanted, and manipulated "Cangtian" to swallow them in one gulp. This was the instinct of "Cangtian", just like water flows to the lower place, just open the gate to release the water.

However, to Qi Xuansu's surprise, the "Chuanguo Xi" in the hands of the King of Liao could actually affect Yunshen Dongtian to a certain extent. The King of Liao took advantage of Yunshen Dongtian to suppress "Cangtian", making it less aggressive, and thus successfully escaped. After all, Yunshen Dongtian was originally the cage of "Cangtian". "Cangtian" could leak its breath, which did not mean that "Cangtian" had escaped.

The two were not swallowed into the inner world of "Cangtian", and they moved forward along the normal road, which was the road that Qi Xuansu and Su Yuanzai had originally planned when they came in last time.

As for the pseudo-immortal who accompanied the King of Liao into the cave, he was not unfamiliar. He was the Western Paladin who had appeared in the Five Elements Mountain - Renatus of Dragon Castle.

Renatus was once a Paladin who served the Holy Court, but like Zhang Wuhen, he also wandered to the East as a traitor and was employed by the Emperor of the Great Xuan Court.

Paladins and Templars are not the same thing. Although both require divine power, the difference is similar to that between witches and spiritual officials.

Both spiritual officials and Templars use divine power directly through their armor, so they are controlled by others. Once the supply of divine power is cut off, they can only wait for death. For example, Jiashen Lingguan, the Taoist sect said that he would be investigated, and he basically had no ability to resist.

Paladins get power from oaths, which is quite similar to the great aspirations made by the Buddhist sect. Some are similar to borrowing, prying the lever at a smaller cost to obtain power that does not belong to them in advance.

Therefore, the Paladin or Paladin needs less divine power than the Templar, and with the same divine power, the power that can be exerted is greater than that of the Templar.

However, this is also a double-edged sword. Although you can gain power from the oath, failure to abide by the oath will lead to the loss of most of the power, or even backlash.

Depending on the oath, the restrictions are also different.

Renatus's oath is very special, called the Oath of Renegade. Those who believe in this oath will not be loyal to anyone, but only focus on their own strength and survival, and only have faith in themselves. Only those who are desperate enough and strong enough in their hearts can take this path. Because weak people always want to seek outside, looking for others or gods as their spiritual sustenance, and it is impossible to have faith in themselves only.

The advantage is that the Oath of Renegade has no restrictions, and it will gain more powerful power than ordinary oaths.

Disadvantages Paladins who embark on this path will indulge in violence and wealth and be expelled by the Holy See. In the words of the Holy See, these people broke their sacred oaths, pursued dark ambitions and served evil forces. The light burning in their hearts has been extinguished, leaving only darkness. Even the apostles of hell are unwilling to associate with these chaotic people.

Renatus, as a Paladin who betrayed his oath, was exiled by the Holy See and wandered to the East, and finally chose to serve His Majesty the Emperor of the East. Only His Majesty the Emperor can give him wealth, power and everything he wants, and His Majesty the Emperor also has enough strength to deter him.

Qi Xuansu is now facing a very embarrassing situation. After being transformed and reinforced by the Ancient Taiping Dao and the Great Qi Court, Yunshen Cave Heaven has actually become a prison specifically for imprisoning "Cangtian".

Considering the particularity of the extraterritorial demons devouring the world, the space barrier of Yunshen Cave Heaven is far superior to that of ordinary cave heavens. Unless the cave heaven portal is opened in a special way and then enters the cave heaven through the cave heaven portal, it is impossible to enter the cave heaven, so Xiao Bodhisattva also has to join hands with the court to enter Yunshen Cave Heaven.

Because it is impossible to break through the specially reinforced space barrier, Qi Xuansu cannot summon He Luoshen or the three Yin objects in Yunshen Cave Heaven, and can only rely on himself. This is also the reason why he came to manipulate "Cangtian". If he can summon He Luoshen and the three Yin objects, he can choose to surround and kill Xiao Bodhisattva instead of going around in a circle.

Perhaps someone will say that Qi Xuansu can summon "Cangtian" in the human world, which means that "Cangtian" can break through the space barrier of Yunshen Cave Heaven. Isn't it contradictory?

This is of course not a generalization. In its heyday, "Cang Tian" was comparable to a three-tribulation immortal. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if "Cang Tian" is less than half of its heyday, it is still not comparable to an ordinary immortal. Therefore, Yunshen Cave Heaven cannot trap "Cang Tian". If Yunshen Cave Heaven alone can trap "Cang Tian", then there is no need to build the Yin and Yang Palaces and use the remains of Wang Jujun.

Moreover, when Qi Xuansu summoned "Cang Tian", he did not let it out completely, but opened some gates and let some out.

In the current situation, Qi Xuansu could not even sense the existence of Yin Yueliang, and his Bingjie incarnation also fell from the pseudo-immortal stage back to the level of a normal person.

This is a huge weakening for Qi Xuansu.

Soon, King Liao and Renatus had come to the outside of the Yin and Yang Palaces, only to see that the talismans were densely covered and the door was closed and could not be opened normally. However, the Yin and Yang Palaces essentially still rely on the Cloud God Cave Heaven, so the King of Liao once again offered the "Chuan Guo Xi" and used this magical object to open the main door of the Yin and Yang Palaces and walked into the palace.

At this time, Qi Xuansu had already come from the underground inner palace to the Yang Palace on the ground.

"Master Qi." The King of Liao stopped and looked at Qi Xuansu, "We meet again. The last time we met was at Wuxing Mountain. At that time, you were just a small Taoist priest, insignificant, and a pawn in the hands of others. In the blink of an eye, you have become the Taoist priest of the Western Region Taoist Palace, and a strong contender for the Grand Master. Even if you look at the whole world, you are definitely not an ordinary person. It is true that a scholar should be treated with new eyes after three days of separation."

Qi Xuansu said: "What should I say? Is it a pity that His Royal Highness the King of Liao has not become the emperor yet?"

The King of Liao said: "I wonder what your status will be when we meet again next time? If there is another meeting."

Qi Xuansu said: "Maybe it will be the emperor and the Grand Master."

"What a big mouth!" The King of Liao didn't know whether to ridicule or sigh, "But I hope that the future Grand Master will be surnamed Li."

This place is neither above nor below, and there is no one else, so the two of them don't have so many scruples when talking.

Qi Xuansu said: "Li is not as good as Qin. It is better to have your own surname than your father and mother. Zi Ji Da Zhenren is seeking the 'heart monkey' and the 'sky'. Is he really trying to support the Li family to take the throne? I'm afraid he wants to be the first Taoist priest?"

The face of the Liao King changed slightly: "Bold."

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "You are really bold to collude with Buddhism."

The Liao King said no more, just signaled to Renatus beside him.

Renatus understood, drew his sword, and strode towards Qi Xuansu without praying or chanting.

As he walked, Renatus was coated with a layer of sacred white light, and the flame of the sword in his hand rose again and again, like a huge torch.

Although Renatus was a paladin who betrayed the oath, his darkness was mainly the darkness of his heart, not the darkness of power.

The first halo was born under his feet, exuding pure light, and the center of the circle kept moving with his footsteps.

Although both Buddhism and the Holy See are called Western religions and both advocate light, the light of the two is not the same. The light of Buddhism is either golden light or colorful light, while the light of the Holy See is pure white light, white without a trace of impurities.

The halo of an ordinary paladin can only cover a few feet in radius, but the halo of Renatus will continue to extend, almost covering most of the Yang Palace. It seems that he is stepping on the formation diagram rather than the halo.

The halo constantly radiates light to the surroundings, which is very domineering, and even faintly conveys the meaning of "those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish". All things that are incompatible with it will be removed, leaving only pure light, so this light has extremely powerful offensiveness. And things that are compatible with it will be greatly benefited and improved.

Then, a second halo appeared under Renatus's feet. It was like a gentle rain that would not cause any direct damage, but it went straight to the soul and infused the opponent with divine power. If the realms of the two sides were very different, the opponent could be made to "repent" and confess according to the teachings of the Holy See, and become a paladin's attendant. The specific time depends on the cultivation level. If the two sides were similar, it could erode the opponent's will and soften the opponent's mind.

That's not all. Renatus gave birth to a third halo, and bright thorns grew around him and on the surface of his armor, which could rebound damage. Once he entered the range of the halo, he would also be hurt by the thorns.

In addition to "holiness", "salvation" and "thorns", there were also halos such as "protection", "strength", "determination" and "judgment" that were born in turn.

Layer upon layer of haloes pushed Renatus' power to the extreme, far surpassing the steam gospel paladin that Qi Xuansu met in the New World.

However, Qi Xuansu was not panicked. Although Renatus had obviously reached a higher level than when he was in the Five Elements Mountain, Qi Xuansu had not only reached one level, but also the Nine-Level Building. It was hard to say who was stronger and who was weaker.

Qi Xuansu's acupuncture points on his body showed his body spirit one by one, shining brightly, and he started with the "Three-Life Holy Fist".

However, the King of Liao did not join forces with Renatus to deal with Qi Xuansu, but walked past Qi Xuansu and went straight to the inner hall sealed by the sky.

When the King of Liao came to the Yin Hall, he saw the inner hall with the door open from a distance, and he was delighted and was about to enter the inner hall quickly.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Stand up!"

The King of Liao was startled and stopped again.

Then he saw a black shadow rushing out of the inner hall, blocking his way, holding something like a spear.

But when he looked again, it was a little girl, and the object in her hand was not a spear, but a large brush, which she carried on her shoulder.

The person who came was the young general in black robe, Qi Xiaoyin.
