"Still want to escape?"
Li Yan A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his figure shot out like an arrow from a string.
At this moment, there is no one to hinder, and the soldiers and horses of the Yin Division arrive smoothly!
The surrounding area was instantly swallowed up by thick darkness. The wet ground where rain had just fallen was instantly frozen by the cold Malevolent Qi originating from the netherworld, condensing into a piece of crystal ice.
The roaring demonic energy moved at an astonishing speed and eerily disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Behind, the dark area filled with Yinsi soldiers and horses also expanded rapidly.
Li Yan grasped the Gou ultimatum tightly, his fingers changed rapidly to maintain the spell, and his feet exerted force at the same time.
"Boom!" The ground exploded in response, and he was ejected like a cannonball. He jumped onto the opposite courtyard wall in an instant. His movement speed was faster than that of a thunderbolt. He used the "Eight Steps Catching Cicadas" movement technique to chase after him.
The evil spirit has been locked, and there is no hope of escape.
But the goal of Li Yan is far beyond that.
The lair of "Nine Gates Yin Ruins" has been broken, and Zhao Qingxu is hiding in the capital with five demonic energies, maybe dormant nearby!
As long as the opponent uses <Earth Official's Treasure Edict of Atonement>, he can seize the opportunity to strike again.
Previously in Jinmen, I had obtained a Divine Gang and a Celestial Decree by capturing the demonic energy from the outside world.
Re-refining <Five Directions Fengdu Banner> not only requires a good carrier, but also requires the collection of five Celestial Decrees, so he dared not use it randomly, but if he could kill Zhao Qingxu, it would be worth it!
The capital city in the middle of the night was shrouded in deathly silence.
Li Yan was speeding among the undulating roofs, with only the howling wind in his ears.
Although his speed is as fast as a meteor, he is still a smidge slower than the Yin soldiers flying in the air.
Looking up, a dark sky like ink swept across the night sky, all the scattered stars were swallowed up, and the lanterns hanging along the way were extinguished.
And that demonic energy is approaching Xuanwu Gate!
Nine Gates Yin Ruins!
Li Yan instantly understood the intention of the demonic energy.
"Nine Gates Yin Ruins" is a space mezzanine in which the scenery is unpredictable and mixed with projections of different dynasties. If you are not careful, you will get lost. The nine gates of the capital are its entrances.
Right now is Zi Hour, when the door opens!
It is difficult for others to enter, but it is unobstructed for invisible evil spirits.
Thinking of this, Li Yan felt anxious.
If he wants to enter "Nine Gates Yin Ruins", he must prepare in advance and cruise as Yin Soul.
Once the evil energy escapes into it, all you can do is wait dumbfounded.
If Zhao Qingxu casts <Earth Official's Treasure Edict of Atonement>, even the Yin soldiers will have to retreat!
Wow~
In the blink of an eye, Li Yan shook his left arm without hesitation!
The copper coins on the arm guard of "Qian Nian" suddenly buzzed, and Yin Wind roared all around, and Killing Intent gathered like a tornado.
"My extraordinary body is the true form of the Northern Emperor. My head is like a black cloud, and my hair is like stars. Up to the Yang Realm, down to the netherworld. The world in the ten directions, Killing Intent is sinking..." Li Yan made a secret, and the majestic Malevolent Qi condensed by "Thousands of Thoughts" instantly enveloped him layer by layer.
Malevolent Qi As he rotated, his body rapidly expanded and twisted in the black mist, turning into a tall and blurry humanoid shadow.
Exactly <North Emperor Divine Transformation Scripture>: Netherworld Transformation!
Phew~
After transforming into the body of a Yin God, Li Yan suddenly felt as light as nothing and his speed increased dramatically.
Like a black lightning tearing through the night sky, it rushed straight towards Xuanwu Gate!
All this happened in just a moment.
In the Yin Shen state, the distance between Li Yan and the demonic energy is shortened sharply.
Even faster was the team of Yinsi troops, which arrived outside Xuanwu Gate almost at the same time as the demonic energy.
It's done! Li Yan feels a little calmer.
He could already clearly hear the frightening sound of the Yin soldiers' armor rubbing together and the chains shaking in the darkness.
Attacked from both inside and outside, surrounded from all sides, the demonic energy has no wings to fly!
But at this moment, an extremely powerful but extremely secretive cold aura suddenly appeared.
This breath is not unfamiliar to him,
It is Five Paths General!
It is reasonable for the demonic energy to cause trouble and alert Netherworld Divine General, who is in charge of the arrest, to take action.
However, the aura this time was so profound and majestic that it was far more powerful than before! It actually made it impossible for him to figure out the depth...
Could it be... that the true form has arrived?!
Li Yan As soon as he was startled and suspicious, a sudden change followed.
Five Paths General's majestic aura suddenly expanded.
All the soldiers and horses of the Yin Division who were about to pounce on the demonic energy stopped suddenly!
In this critical moment, the demonic energy "swish" penetrated into the thick shadow of Xuanwu Gate and disappeared completely.
What...?!
Li Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyebrows stood upright, it was unbelievable.
Before I could think about it, the streets in my field of vision suddenly twisted and stretched strangely! As if the space was compressed by an invisible hand, Xuanwu Gate suddenly enlarged in front of my eyes, and suddenly turned into a bottomless darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene around him was completely changed.
The sky is dim and the sun and moon are nowhere to be seen.
Only the ruins of ruins and rotten houses are looming in the thick fog...
It is "Nine Gates Yin Ruins"!
Yin Soul was forcibly photographed?
A biting chill ran down my spine and into the top of my head.
Li Yan instantly drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed the cold blade directly at the thick fog billowing around him, and scanned it carefully.
It's Five Paths General!
He directly seduced himself and pulled him into this dense cave.
What does this guy want...
A terrible thought exploded in Li Yan's heart, making him feel cold all over.
Could it be that...Five Paths General is also the god who supports "building wood" in the Great Luo Dharma Realm?
Wow~
Suddenly, there was a tidal wave of noise coming from the depths of the thick fog in the distance!
In the shadows, the outline of an army appeared in the fog - broken ancient flags drooping, rusty and mottled armor of various colors wrapped in strange figures: ferocious beast heads and human bodies, dead white and cold faces, and strange things dripping with blood on their heads...
Although he looks like a demon, he is highly disciplined and the queue is neat. Solemn and Killing Intent is fierce!
It's the Yinsi soldiers and horses!
Li Yan It became clear instantly.
Here, in the gap Secret Realm between the Great Luo Dharma Realm and the human world, these existences that could not be clearly visible in the human world finally showed their vague figures.
Wow!
The black military formation raised their hands at the same time, and in an instant, countless dark and heavy Soul Hooking Chain chains danced like poisonous snakes, roaring out with biting Yin Wind, tearing through the thick fog, as if they were nailed into nothingness.
Connected horizontally and vertically, sealing the sky and the earth, like a big net.
Could it be that this is a dragnet?
Soul Hooking Chain Divine Ability, and other wonderful uses...
"Ho--!"
Before Li Yan could judge whether it was friend or foe, a shrill roar that was neither human nor animal penetrated the dense fog, shaking people's minds.
Is the demonic energy blocked?
Li Yan frowned slightly, feeling even more confused.
If Five Paths General had no intention of covering up, then why did he stop the Yin soldiers from arresting him in front of Xuanwu Gate?
And why did you force yourself into this dangerous place?
Phew~
When doubts arose, the majestic figure clad in golden armor appeared again in the thick fog.
I can't see the face clearly, but the body shape is very familiar.
It is Five Paths General.
The two Fang Xiang were only a few feet apart, and before Li Yan could question him, Five Paths General waved slightly towards his direction...
In an instant, the "solid" road underfoot twisted and stretched crazily again.
Li Yan was clearly standing still, but the surrounding scene was like a scroll being pushed by an invisible giant hand, retreating rapidly!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the group of stern Yin soldiers, together with the roaring demonic energy, were completely swallowed up by the churning thick fog.
And in the sky, the shadow of a towering ancient city gate with the huge words "Chongwen Gate" engraved on the plaque was rushing towards him at an incredible speed!
Whoosh!
There was no way to dodge! Li Yan's figure instantly passed through the cold and huge door.
Behind the door, there are still the afterimages of the ancient merchants who were trapped in the streets, showing the despair again and again.
Li Yan Spiritual Light flashed in his mind, and he knew what was happening.
Five Paths General, although its popularity is gradually declining, and some people even distort folk beliefs and claim that the five thieves became gods after their death, but their true identity is not simple.
It is a god who symbolizes and protects the road, and is also the great god of the underworld.
According to some Strange Tales rumors, there are "traffic ghosts" on the roads that make people get lost, and there are also Five Paths General incarnations that appear to guide people out of dangerous situations. Therefore, temples Attendant Five Paths General are usually built in places with complicated roads and problems.
He didn't move just now because the road was twisted.
This is probably the secret of Five Paths General Divine Ability.
At the same time, Li Yan's vision suddenly shifted to the left.
The thick fog on the street on the left suddenly dispersed, revealing a tall archway, with four large ancient seal characters on it emitting a faint phosphorescence in the dim light: Chang'an Ghost Market!
Behind the archway, the thick fog has not completely dissipated, but has become thinner and thicker.
Like a damp and cold veil, it enveloped the entire area.
Wherever you can see, there is no hustle and bustle, but decay.
The ground is a kind of ocher-colored hard soil, with several "streets" that look like trunks but are intertwined and intertwined.
On both sides of the "street", there are various shapes of walls and architectural remnants.
The spire outline of the Persia restaurant with strong Hu style, and the double-eaves pavilion in the Tang Dynasty style are all incomplete and decayed.
Here, it feels like it has been forgotten by time for thousands of years.
The so-called "market" stalls are scattered among these solidified ruins.
Sellers and pedestrians are all shadows.
They wear different costumes: porters from the Tang Dynasty with coarse linen and short brown, Sogdian Hu merchants with narrow lapels and narrow sleeves, petty officials in soap shirts and futou, officials in brocade robes and jade belts, Kunlun slaves with exposed arms...
There were more faceless figures, moving silently, with stiff and repetitive movements.
Time is also going back and forth here:
The hunchbacked old man was carrying a bamboo charcoal basket. The charcoal inside the basket was red, illuminating his dull and lifeless profile...
Several shadowy figures dressed as Hu merchants gathered in front of a stall, gesticulating stiffly, and seemed to be arguing...
On the half-collapsed wall of the restaurant, several orchids were leaning against the wall.
They applied exaggerated makeup, wore hairpins and silk flowers, and maintained the posture of pouring and persuading people to drink.
However, their smiling expressions were as stiff as stone sculptures...
Is this Chang'an Ghost Market?
Li Yan's eyes were complicated, and then he turned to look at the opposite side, cupping his fists and saying:
"Your Excellency, you brought me here. What's the important thing?"
At this moment, he was sitting in a shabby tea shed in the ghost market.
Opposite the square table is Five Paths General. His figure has shrunk but his face is still blurry.
Li Yan already had some vague guesses in his mind.
The other party deliberately released demonic energy to escape into Nine Gates Yin Ruins!
In doing so, he obviously had other intentions to avoid detection by heaven and the underworld.
However, Five Paths General on the opposite side did not speak.
He pointed to the sky, then shook his head slightly, stretched out his fingers, and drew on the table.
The dust dispersed, revealing a human face with three eyes.
Erlang Zhenjun!
Li Yan felt a chill in his heart and quickly looked at the other party.
Erlang Zhenjun has not contacted him since the last time.
I originally thought the other party was busy, but now it seems something is wrong!
With the incense of Erlang Zhenjun in the human world, could there be trouble?
Looking at the appearance of Five Paths General, he cannot open his mouth to reveal Heavenly Secret, which would violate <Heavenly Laws>.
Li Yan I don't know how many restrictions Heavenly Laws has on these gods, but there must be loopholes.
For example, through the Gouji Divine Jade, he heard a lot of the Great Luo Dharma Realm secrets.
This does not constitute a violation of <Heavenly Laws>.
Five Paths General didn't write, he just drew a picture.
It seems that he can also avoid it by letting him guess it through information.
No wonder, since ancient times, divine revelations have always been unclear, and the same goes for divination.
Seeing that he had some understanding, Five Paths General nodded and continued painting.
This time, I drew another line that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. The three-eyed human face is in the middle. I drew a hook shape on one side and a thunderbolt on the other side...
Li Yan frowned and pondered, then whispered, "Gouji...Thunder Department? True Lord was sent to guard?"
If he hadn't seen Great Luo Dharma Realm with his own eyes, he really wouldn't be able to guess it.
The so-called heaven, underworld, and Buddhist realm are all in the Great Luo Dharma Realm. From the outside, they look like branches of light. They are all in the realm of Divine Land. The three light spots are connected.
Li Yan remembered that Thunder Department had communicated with Judge Cui during a previous mission.
I think there are connections between the Heavenly Court and the Underworld. Erlang God is in the middle, maybe guarding the gate.
Opposite Five Paths General, obviously did not expect that Li Yan guessed so quickly.
He nodded and drew his fingers faster and faster.
The cross-shaped mark represents Five Paths General himself, meeting the human face with three eyes...
Another big hand appeared above, holding a tree together...
Li Yan Half-guessed, half-asked, I finally figured out the meaning.
Five Paths General, has met with Erlang Zhenjun.
From the looks of it, an alliance has been formed and everyone knows about him.
I asked for help in a dream before, but then my real body came, and I came to the Yinxu ghost market...
All of this was done by Five Paths General in order to see him!
The reason is naturally those who control Jianmu!
Thinking of this, Li Yan felt complicated, "What do you want me to do?"
Five Paths General pointed at himself, then drew Three Incense Sticks, then pointed at the marks of himself and Erlang Zhenjun, drew a mountain to wrap the two of them, and then drew winding lines on the mountain.
"Want me to help you stabilize the incense?"
The first one, Li Yan, is easy to guess.
But for the second one, he thought for a long time before Spiritual Light flashed in his mind.
"Eighteen plates, Mount Tai?"
Five Paths General nodded heavily, seeming very happy.
But when he was about to continue painting, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the air and waved quickly.
In an instant, there was a strong wind all around, and Li Yan's vision went dark...
Drowsily, Li Yan slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around and found that he had returned to his physical body at some point, and was lying on an old bed. Opposite him, Old Taoist, who was burning like a candle and smelling of alcohol, was lying in front of the table, his head inching.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yan immediately knew that this was the Five Paths General temple.
That Old Taoist was the old temple keeper he had just saved.
Awakened by his voice, Old Taoist quickly stood up, bent deeply and held his hands in his hands:
"Sun Datong, thank you for saving me!"
After saying that, he slowly raised his head, his eyes full of desire and enthusiasm,
"You, are you the Five Dao Zun Divine Descent lin?"
