Tian Wu Blocks the Way, Delaying Military Operations

Tian Wu, one of the Ancient Demon Gods, had eight heads and eight tails, his entire body blue and yellow, and was known as the "Water Earl." The moment this form manifested, water-aspected spiritual power rippled endlessly through the palace city, and a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky.

Water and fire collided; the grand formations within the palace city were immediately stirred to their utmost, spiritual light flashing in streak after streak.

The formations at Diligent Governance Hall, Mingtang Hall, Palace of Compassionate Peace, Heaven's Blessing Palace, Earth's Peace Palace, and elsewhere activated one after another, while an aura of death condensed in the heavens.

The Vermilion Bird of the south corresponded to the celestial stars above and immediately drew down Cosmic Star Power.

Among the seven southern lunar mansions, the Ghost, Well, and Willow mansions sent down star power thick with deathly intent. Su Che could even hear hoarse bird cries, as though some ancient ferocious bird was about to awaken.

Waves surged around Tian Wu, within them manifesting countless spiritual souls, while natural compassion flowed from his sixteen eyes.

His eight human heads gazed at Su Che before him.

"Even if you want to leave now, it's too late."

Su Che let out a breath of turbid air and slowly drew a pearl from his sleeve.

Shen Buying was running, running with every ounce of his strength.

Disaster had struck.

The changes in the palace city's formations could not possibly be hidden from anyone paying attention, much less Shen Buying, who had been nearby from the start.

As one of Su Gui's core subordinates, Shen Buying did not know the detailed steps of Su Gui's plan, but he had a rough grasp of its overall outline.

The first step was to seize control of the palace city.
