The powerful spiritual light shone on the vengeful spirits, and large pieces of smoke disappeared, and a white-armored martial god broke through the clouds with a sword in hand!

It was indeed Jun Wu. Everyone seemed to have seen their parents again, and they all shouted, "Ah!!! Emperor!!!" They were almost crying. Jun Wu stepped on the light wind and landed slowly, saying, "Don't panic, don't panic. Everyone, are you all right?"

The four people in the giant sword formation quickly separated and transformed back to their original forms. Pei Ming asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you guarding the Immortal Capital? Why did you come here in person?"

Jun Wu said: "The Rain Master communicated with me through spirits and told me that the Copper Furnace Mountain Realm was breached and the situation was critical, so I rushed here."

Everyone looked back and saw that the Rain Master was still riding on the black bull. They all thought to themselves, “So that’s how it is.” Since the boundary has been broken, the spiritualism can probably be used. Just now, their blood was boiling, and they all wanted to knock down the flying things first. Almost no one had time to think about spiritualism. Xie Lian stepped forward and said, “Emperor, it’s Bai Wuxiang. He’s back.”

Jun Wu nodded slightly and said, "I guess he will also linger around."

Xie Lian said, “He’s elusive. As soon as you came, he ran away to who knows where.”

Jun Wu said: "No problem. Let's deal with those evil spirits first, and then go find him."

Everyone looked up at the sky. The dark clouds in the sky were rolling and being purified by the strong light brought down by Jun Wu. Pei Ming said, "So the Ghost King was stopped from coming out this time, right?"

Xie Lian said, “I guess so. After all, it wasn’t just anyone who broke through the copper furnace, but this.”

Everyone looked to the side again. After Xie Lian stopped manipulating it, the huge stone statue was still lying on the ground obediently. It was a huge and meticulously carved object, and even when it fell down, it looked like a small mountain. Xie Lian stood nearby, raised his hand and touched its cheek, then turned to Hua Cheng: "Sanlang, what should we do with it?"

Hua Cheng seemed to be thinking about something. After hearing his question, he came to his senses and said, "Brother, don't worry. Let it stay here for the time being until it is repaired."

Xie Lian asked, “Can it be fixed?”

Hua Cheng said: "Of course, as long as I have the raw stone of the copper furnace, I will definitely repair it and make it stand up again."

Xie Lian said, “Then let’s leave it alone for now. The volcano over at the Copper Furnace is still erupting, and I don’t know when it will be safe.”

At this moment, the vengeful spirits hovering in the air suddenly screamed and turned into a tornado, attacking a place. Everyone didn't know what was happening, and when they looked closely, they saw that the place was actually the underground Wuyong Temple.

Originally, these things had nowhere to hide under the strong light, and would disappear sooner or later. However, after a large number of resentful spirits poured into the underground temple, they seemed to be sucked out and disappeared completely. Mu Qing was stunned: "What's going on?"

Xie Lian thought something was wrong and said, “It was Bai Wuxiang! He opened the Earth-Shrinking Technique there and sent all those evil spirits away!”

Jun Wu waved his hand and lifted the roof of the temple, and also lifted a large area of ​​land. However, there was nothing inside except a large formation that had just been drawn. Feng Xin said: "What does he want to do?"

"Where did he set up the formation? Where did he send it?!"

In the past, it would have been time for the Spiritual Literature to be put on display. The Spiritual Literature Hall would have announced the location within half an incense stick, but now, who knows which of the temporary replacements were made, and at this critical moment, they couldn't find anyone, which made Feng Xin so angry that he cursed, "Damn it, you usually brag about yourself and try to show off, but now you're supposed to show off, where are you?! I will never say that the Spiritual Literature Hall is inefficient again!"

At this time, Hua Cheng's voice came over: "In the Imperial City."

Everyone turned to him, and Hua Cheng just moved his two slender fingers down from his temple and said, "He sent those things to seven or eight cities in different directions. Right now, we have only found one imperial city because the evil energy there has suddenly surged."

...The gods of literature in Xianjing are useless, and they have to rely on the head of the ghost world to help them locate the evil creatures. Several priests present felt embarrassed. But the situation was critical, and the feeling of embarrassment was fleeting. Mu Qing said, "It's clear what the White-clothed Disaster is up to. They specifically send those things to crowded places. Once the human-faced epidemic breaks out, it will spread very quickly. The imperial city has the largest and most densely populated area, so of course it won't be spared."

Pei Ming also said: "Hurry up and deal with it. There is no time to lose. Otherwise, if we delay for too long, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jun Wu was also speechless with headaches over the substitute Wen Shen of Ling Wen Hall, and turned to Hua Cheng: "Your Excellency, can you find out the detailed locations of other cities?"

Hua Cheng said: "We are currently investigating. It won't take long. Yinyu, you take over."

Yinyu said hurriedly, "Yes."

He was originally demoted by Jun Wu. Although Jun Wu was only doing his job, he still felt nervous when he saw Jun Wu. He communicated with his subordinates in the ghost market for a while, and then carefully reported the specific location: "Three hundred miles to the south, two hundred and seventy miles to the north..."

Jun Wu said to Feng Xin: "Nanyang, go to the south."

Feng Xin did not respond immediately, but hesitated for a moment. Xie Lian guessed that he wanted to find Jian Lan and her son, and was about to speak, but Feng Xin responded and walked to the side to draw a formation. Pei Ming consciously said, "I'll go to the north?"

Jun Wu said: "Of course you go."

Pei Ming nodded, turned around and walked a few steps. Pei Su followed him, so he turned back and said, "Your wounds haven't healed yet, and the poison hasn't been cleared yet. You should follow Master Yu first."

Pei Su asked doubtfully: "General, I'm not poisoned?"

Pei Ming patted his shoulder sympathetically and said, "You haven't recovered from your broken sentence yet, and you still say you're not poisoned?" After saying that, he turned his head slightly, nodded to Master Yu, and left. Jun Wu said again, "Qiying, go to the west. Remember not to mess around..."

Quan Yizhen was puzzled and asked, "Why go to the west? What are you doing now?"

“…”

It's not his fault that he didn't understand what was going on. He was probably confused all the way: Why was he beaten? Why was he buried in the wall? Why was he turned into a tumbler? Why did he turn into a giant sword? He never had a chance to figure out what was going on. Seeing this, Yin Yu sighed and said, "I'll take him. We can talk on the way." Others probably didn't have the patience to tell him what was going on. Quan Yizhen said, "Okay!"

Mu Qing waited for a long time but didn't see him, so she couldn't help but ask, "Emperor, what about me?"

Jun Wu looked at him and said, "Xuan Zhen, have you forgotten something?"

Mu Qing was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Jun Wu said: "You are still in confinement."

“…”

Mu Qing's face turned pale. He really had forgotten about this. And not only him, almost everyone had forgotten that Mu Qing had escaped from Xianjing with the suspicion of creating a fetal spirit with evil magic, and he had not yet been cleared of the suspicion!

Jun Wu said: "You don't need it. I will return to Xianjing later and extend my confinement."

Mu Qing said: "...Emperor, it's really not me!"

Jun Wu said: "Once the matter is thoroughly investigated and the truth is revealed, we will naturally let you out. Otherwise, it would be disgraceful to let you out now."

Mu Qing was extremely unwilling, but had no choice but to whisper, "Yes."

Seeing Mu Qing's frustration, Hua Cheng laughed out loud without disguising himself. Mu Qing looked at him, then at Xie Lian beside him, and thought of something, his face turned even greener.

As for the rest of the people, the Rain Master was not a martial god, and he did not try to be brave. He said that if they needed him, they could just call him, and then he quietly withdrew. Xie Lian naturally chose the Imperial City, which had the most people and the most difficult task. Jun Wu stayed behind to deal with the three mountain monsters and Bai Wuxiang, who was probably still nearby. Hua Cheng threw the dice and opened the shrinking earth, and Xie Lian left with him.

It was late at night in the Imperial City. The streets were silent and every household had their doors tightly shut. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng flashed out of an alley, walking quickly while searching for traces of the inhuman creature. After walking a few steps, Xie Lian put two fingers together, pressed them against his temple, activated the spirit magic, and whispered, "Emperor?"

Jun Wu said: "What's the matter with Xianle? Have you arrived at the Imperial City?"

Xie Lian said, "We're already here. I have something to tell you."

Jun Wu said: "What did Blood Rain Tanhua do to you?"

“…”

Hua Cheng seemed to have sensed something and raised his eyebrows. Xie Lian said, “No, he didn’t do anything to me. It was something else. The situation was critical just now and I didn’t have time to talk about it.” He restrained his expression and said, “Emperor, do you still remember my master?”

Hearing him mention this person, Jun Wu seemed slightly surprised. After a moment, he asked, "Are you talking about the former Xianle Imperial Master?"

Xie Lian said, “Yes. You must have had a lot of contact with him in the past, right? Did you find anything strange about him?”

The rituals and ceremonies of Xianle Country are all handled by the national master, who is the bridge between mortals and gods. After a moment of silence, Jun Wu said, "Yes."

Xie Lian held his breath and asked, “…What’s so strange about this?”

Jun Wu said, "Xianle, do you really want to listen to it?"

Xie Lian said, “Yes.”

Jun Wu said: "Will you be disappointed even if you hear it?"

Xie Lian glanced at Hua Cheng and said, “Yes.”

After a long while, Jun Wu slowly said, "It is a waste of talent for your master to be the Imperial Master of Xianle. His knowledge and abilities are far beyond your imagination."

Xie Lian listened quietly. The next sentence made his heart sink.

Jun Wu said: "I think that the actual number of years that the national teacher has spent in this world may not be less than mine, or even more than mine."

“…”

His guess was partially confirmed.

If the Imperial Master really lived longer than Jun Wu, then the possibility that he was one of the four guardians of Prince Wuyong was even higher!

Xie Lian couldn't help but ask, "Why have you never told me this before?"

Jun Wu said: "Because for a long time, I couldn't be sure."

Xie Lian asked, “Then how did you determine that?”

Jun Wu said: "After Xianle destroyed the country, I found him and took action. Now it seems that he finally escaped."

“…”

Besides Bai Wuxiang, there were other people who escaped from Jun Wu. Xie Lian had always thought that the Imperial Master had escaped because of the war, but he never expected that it was Jun Wu himself who did it!

Xie Lian asked, “Then… then why did you attack him? And why didn’t you tell me after you were sure?”

Jun Wu said: "Your two questions are actually one question."

Xie Lian: “What?”

Jun Wu said: "I said it, maybe after listening to it, you will feel disappointed. However, maybe now you can hold on even if you are disappointed in others."

Xie Lian's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and he couldn't help but hold onto Hua Cheng's hand tightly. Hua Cheng also covered the back of his hand with his other hand.

Over there, Jun Wu said: "Because I found that he seemed to want to awaken something from you."
