Taiping Inn

Just as the two were about to leave, another figure descended from the sky. It was a white-haired old man in a Confucian robe, dressed like a Confucian. Read

The palace official was shocked to see the old man, and then recognized the old man's identity. He was Xie Heng, one of the three chief priests of Tianxin Academy.

After Fang Zongqi was defeated that day, he passed the news to the chief priest Xie Heng. Xie Heng came to Li Daotong's retreat and found that it was empty. After thinking for a while, Xie Heng guessed that Li Daotong was hiding in Xijing City, so he went straight to Xijing City. The battle between Wu Xian and Yin Yang Sect further confirmed Xie Heng's idea, so he ignored Wu Xian and Yin Yang Sect and sneaked directly into Xijing City.

Originally, there were so many people in Xijing City, and there were many Wudao Sect masters. It was very difficult for Xie Heng to find someone. However, he never thought that Li Ruzhen and Huangfu Yuxiu had a fight, which caused quite a stir. Like a bright light in the dark night, Xie Heng was immediately led here.

Xie Heng's eyes fell on Li Ruzhen, and he laughed: "It's easy to find after searching everywhere."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab Li Ruzhen.

Li Ruzhen immediately used the "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm" to resist.

However, Xie Heng was not comparable to Huangfu Yuxiu. His cultivation in the realm of heaven and man was not inferior to Wang Nanting in those days. Li Ruzhen's majestic aura immediately lost its advantage, and the "Haoran Qi" of the Confucian School restrained all methods. Unless there was an immortal object in hand, it would be difficult to win even if the realm was equal. In addition, no matter how exquisite the "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm" is, it is only a medium-level method after all, and cannot compare with the "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" and other high-level methods. Even if Li Ruzhen can use it well, it is at most the power of the high-level method.

So as soon as the two of them fought, Li Ruzhen fell into a disadvantage and was restricted everywhere.

Even if the palace official wanted to help, it would be difficult to turn the tide of the battle with her realm and cultivation. Moreover, the palace official did not want to fight. This is Xijing, her territory. Even if Tan Taiyun is not here, there are still a large number of masters from the Wudao Sect. At the beginning, the Wudao Sect joined forces, plus Li Xuandu, to besiege Song Zheng. It should not be difficult to deal with a great priest at this time.

In a blink of an eye, Li Ruzhen had no power to fight back. I am afraid that after dozens of moves, he will be captured by Xie Heng.

At this moment, a woman appeared out of thin air with a chuckle, and started fighting with Xie Heng instead of Li Ruzhen.

Li Ruzhen was able to retreat to the side of the palace official and said, "Miss Gong, they are coming for me. You should leave first, don't let me get you into trouble."

The palace official did not answer, but frowned in thought.

Xie Heng did not expect that there was someone lurking by his side, and his cultivation was extremely high, not inferior to his own at all. The advantage of the Confucian "Haoran Qi" could not be fully exerted. When they fought again, he saw a bright red flower of the other shore in the woman's hand, and suddenly he had a thousand illusions. He immediately guessed the identity of the woman and shouted, "It turns out that Madam Lan has arrived."

The person who came was Lan Xuanshuang.

She was able to find Li Ruzhen's whereabouts thanks to Huangfu Yuxiu.

Lan Xuanshuang smiled and said, "I have heard of the reputation of the great priests of the Confucian sect for a long time. Today, I see that it is really well-deserved."

If Tan Taiyun, Zuo Zunzhe, the four kings and other Wudao Sect masters were still in Xijing City, Xie Heng and Lan Xuanshuang would never dare to set foot there. Even now, the two dared not stay in Xijing City for a long time. Just like no matter how rampant the Confucian sect is, they have to "reason" with Li Xuandu in Qixia Mountain instead of running to Penglai Island to compete with Li Xuandu. There are also two attacks on the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven in Beimang Mountain. The first time, twenty sects went to it, and the second time, the twelve sects of the righteous way moved in full force. They must be several times stronger than the enemy to win. This is the advantage of the terrain.

After the two fought for more than a hundred moves, they knew that their realms and cultivation were comparable, and it was impossible to decide the winner in a short time. If they dragged on for a long time, they would be trapped by the masters of the Wudao Sect, and it would be difficult to escape. But it was absolutely impossible for the two to give up Li Ruzhen who was right in front of them.

Just when the two were in a dilemma, they saw Li Ruzhen trying to leave secretly. The two stopped at the same time and rushed towards Li Ruzhen again.

Li Ruzhen was startled and dared not move immediately. He stopped obediently.

Seeing that he did not run, Xie Heng and Lan Xuanshuang did not rush to catch him, and fought not far from him.

Li Ruzhen had no choice but to look at the palace official again.

The palace official closed the folding fan in his hand, patted his palm lightly, and said to Li Ruzhen: "You don't have to be afraid. In half an incense stick of time, the four elders and six hall masters will arrive here, and the Xijing formation will also be opened."

The palace official did not deliberately transmit his voice when he spoke, and it was clear that he was speaking to Xie Heng and Lan Xuanshuang.

However, the two were not moved at all, and only cared about dealing with the powerful enemy in front of them.

The palace official did not expect the two to be so experienced, which made her a little embarrassed. It was true that the formations and the masters of the Wudao Sect in Xijing City were enough to deal with the two, but before leaving, Tan Taiyun handed over the power to her and Huangfu Yuxiu respectively, which meant that she could only mobilize half of the masters. Just now, she almost angered Huangfu Yuxiu to death. It was a bit difficult to expect him to come back to help at this time. He did not have to watch her die without saving her. As long as he deliberately waited for a while, he would not be charged with a crime and would put her in danger.

Just when the palace official was in a dilemma, a female nun appeared on the eaves of the tall building opposite, standing in the wind, with her clothes fluttering, and a bright moon behind her, which made her look like a fairy in the sky or a fairy in the Moon Palace. However, the female nun had a cold face and her eyes were firmly locked on Li Ruzhen.

Li Ruqi felt cold all over when she looked at him, and felt a little frightened, no less than Li Xuandu himself, and said in a trembling voice: "She is coming, she is coming."

The palace official followed Li Ruqi's gaze and saw the female priest. He felt that she was like a shadow, uncertain, between yin and yang, so that Xie Heng and Lan Xuanshuang, who were fighting fiercely, could not detect her existence at the first time.

The palace official's heart sank and asked: "Who is this person?"

Li Ruqi replied: "She is the great wizard."

"Wu Xian is here." The palace official's face was solemn. If it were only Xie Heng and Lan Xuanshuang, but if Wu Xian was added, I am afraid that the situation today would be difficult to control.

Before the palace official could come up with a plan, Wu Xian stepped down and floated down from the eaves, like a leaf falling in the wind, or like a piece of white paper, without any weight or thickness, swaying and coming straight towards Li Ruqi.

If the palace official had Li Ru'an's cultivation, he would not dare to say that he would win against Wu Xian, but at least he would have the strength to fight. Unfortunately, Li Ru'an only mastered the "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm" at this time, and he did not know the rest, and he had no experience at all. He really had no strength to use. When he met Wu Xian, who had various tricks, he had no power to resist.

Just when the palace official was at a loss, Xie Heng and Lan Xuanshuang, who were fighting each other, suddenly stopped and attacked Wu Xian together.

The two of them had the same idea. Both the Confucian and Taoist sects had a large number of masters to help. Even if they could not snatch the boy away today, as long as he was still in the northwest, there would be a chance in the future. But if he fell into Wu Xian's hands, it would be hard to say. With Wu Xian's secretive methods, if she really wanted to hide, even the immortals might not be able to find her.

In an instant, the three of them fought in one place. Wu Xian was injured, and the two were both great masters of the realm of heaven and man. Even if they had their own calculations and could not be regarded as a sincere alliance, Wu Xian had to deal with it seriously and had no time to take care of Li Ruo.

Seeing this, the palace official put away his folding fan, pulled Li Ruo's sleeve with his left hand, took out a talisman from the Xumi treasure with his right hand, held it with his index and middle fingers, and then shook it gently, and the talisman ignited without wind.

In an instant, Li Ruo felt dizzy and could not see anything clearly.

When he regained his clarity, he found that he was no longer in the courtyard by the lake, but in a palace. Under his feet were black tiles that could reflect human figures. At this time, it was like an abyss in the night, surrounded by huge pillars that four people could hug.

The palace here is magnificent, not inferior to the imperial palace in the capital city, but it is very deserted, without a single figure.

Li Ruqi looked at the palace official and asked, "What is this place?"

The palace official said, "This is Taiji Palace. Since the Saint King occupied this place, he renamed it Wuxu Palace."

Speaking of Taiji Palace, it is naturally well-known. It cannot be said that everyone knows it, but it is not far away. Even the common people or rural villagers who can't read a single word have heard of this name from the storyteller. This is the palace of the Li royal family and Empress Mingkong. In its heyday, its style was even better than the current Imperial Palace in the capital.

As for Wuxu Palace, it is also well-known to people in the world. This is the residence of the Saint King Tan Taiyun and also the place where she retreats.

But Li Ruqi's memory was confused, and he had no impression of Taiji Palace and Wuxu Palace, so he didn't react. Then he asked: "What are we doing here?"

The palace official looked at him and said: "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

Li Ruqi felt puzzled: "Know what?"

The palace official said: "Most of the caves in this world are created by human power. The big ones, like Kunlun Cave, are almost a world of their own. The small ones, like Da Baoen Temple, are just the size of a temple. There is also a cave in Xijing City. If you enter it and close it, The closed cave heaven, even if the immortals want to break through the cave heaven, they will have to spend some effort. "

Li Ruqi asked subconsciously: "What cave heaven?"

The palace official said: "Wuxu Palace has an inner and outer part. The outer Wuxu Palace is Taiji Palace, which is where we are now, and the real Wuxu Palace is actually another cave heaven."

Li Ruqi understood immediately: "You mean the cave heaven of Wuxu Palace?"

The palace official took out her folding fan again without knowing when. She gently tapped Li Ruqi's forehead with the folding fan in her hand and smiled: "You are not stupid at all."
