A figure quickly passed the palace wall and landed lightly.
The bright red palace walls on both sides were so long that they couldn't see the end at a glance. Shen Wuwei glanced behind him, his palm holding Fuchen was covered in cold sweat, and was still trembling uncontrollably.
This is the result of being directly intimidated by the coercion of the big monster. If the same coercion fell on an ordinary mortal, the opponent would have already exploded and died.
Shen Wuwei took a deep breath, trying his best to control the uncontrollable fear in his heart.
He couldn't figure it out, such a terrifying coercion, even a monster who had practiced for a thousand years would not have it.
That little fox demon... how many years has he practiced?
"If I were you, I wouldn't run away." A
clear voice sounded from above his head, Shen Wuwei looked up, and saw a young man in white sitting on a high palace wall, looking at him with a smile.
Lin Jianxue said: "If you stay in the Tai Chi Hall, he may still take into account the crowds around him, so he won't do anything to you." "...
But there is no one here."
Shen Wuwei was surprised: "You are Lin—— "
His voice stopped abruptly, as if he felt something, he looked back.
A figure appeared behind him like a ghost when he didn't know when, Shen Wuwei only felt a terrifying force coming towards him, his eyes went dark, his body flew upside down, and slammed into the wall hard.
Li Ruan walked towards him slowly.
As he walked forward step by step, all the evil spirit that had been intentionally hidden in the past was released. The boy's figure gradually became taller, his jawline tightened, and his facial features became clearer and brighter.
The young man in red stood still in front of Shen Wuwei, his eyes were unprecedentedly cold: "You shouldn't hurt him."
Li Ruan had been able to change back to his youthful appearance as early as when his mana was fully recovered, just to avoid the palace The people in the village became suspicious, so he maintained the appearance that he had just descended the mountain.
Shen Wuwei sat down on the spot, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't speak a word.
Li Ruan didn't rush forward, but looked up at the young man on the high place: "Is this your prey?"
"No." The Yaozu determined their status by strength, and Li Ruan with this appearance made Lin Jianxue feel a little trembling. He sat up straight and replied, "I was entrusted by someone to prevent him from doing what he wanted to do in the Tai Chi Hall today."
Li Ruan tilted his head, he didn't seem to understand, but he didn't care.
He said: "Then I'll deal with it casually."
"I'll guard it for you and prevent anyone from coming over." Lin Jianxue said quickly, jumped down from the palace wall, and disappeared.
Li Ruan's eyes fell on Shen Wuwei again.
"It's just a little monster..." Shen Wuwei's voice was hoarse, but he seemed to have finally calmed down a bit.
He barely stood up, raised his sleeve and wiped away some blood from his lips.
Shen Wuwei spread the whisk in his hand, and it turned into a long sword: "Master Dao is about to ascend, how could he be afraid of you!"
Li Ruan's eyes moved slightly.
Before he could react, the long sword in Shen Wuwei's hand had already stabbed at him.
Although he had fallen into a trap by accident just now, Shen Wuwei actually had some strength. Otherwise, he would not have broken free from Lin Jianxue's confinement spell, and escaped under the coercion of Li Ruan's monster clan.
It's a pity that it's just a little bit of strength.
The two quickly went through dozens of moves, Li Ruan was unarmed, but every move of the other party was easily resolved by him.
There is even time to ask him: "You said, you want to ascend?"
Shen Wuwei: "So what?"
Li Ruan: "Then why don't you practice hard in the mountains, but come here to work for Prince Su?" "
Who Said that I was working for him." Shen Wuwei paused slightly, and laughed, "It's just that everyone gets what they need, he helped me achieve my goal, and I helped him fulfill his wish to catch that little fox demon just now."
"Your purpose?"
"I came here, of course, for the purpose of ascension." Shen Wuwei said, "But I lack one thing, and that thing is in the palace."
Li Ruan frowned. His long sword suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light.
The long sword slashed towards Li Ruan wrapped in billowing spiritual energy, but Li Ruan raised his hand to block it, and was forced to take two steps back.
A smug smile appeared in Shen Wuwei's eyes.
Li Ruan sighed lightly.
"As far as your level of cultivation is concerned, Lei Jieli won't even bother with you, and you're still far away from ascension." Li Ruan supported his sword with one hand, and thrust his other hand into the pill core. He squeezed hard in his eyes.
"... Now, it's even further away."
Li Ruan shattered his core.
The man's body slumped to the ground, Li Ruan raised his blood-stained hand, and the blood dripped down his fingertips.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince will be frightened when he sees you like this?" Lin Jianxue's voice came from behind him.
Li Ruan looked back at him, the murderous look in his eyes had not dissipated, and Lin Jianxue paused.
Then, Li Ruan blinked, and his eyes softened again: "Then don't tell him."
With a wave of his hand, all the blood on his body disappeared.
Lin Jianxue came up and looked down at the person lying at Li Ruan's feet: "You really don't kill people, you can hold back this." "You can't kill people, you will—" "It will lose your merit
.
" Lin Jianxue Xue laughed, "I know."
Li Ruan nodded.
After his body relaxed, a little tiredness finally appeared on his face. He staggered and wanted to do something, but Lin Jianxue held him back.
"I'll do it." Lin Jianxue said.
Lin Jianxue supported Li Ruan to sit aside, bent down, a little mana condensed in the palm of her hand, and landed on Shen Wuwei's abdomen where a bloody hole had been forcefully dug out by Li Ruan.
The bloodstains slowly disappeared, and the wound gradually healed.
"As long as there is no external injury, no one will suspect that he was attacked here. Even if he wants to identify you, it is impossible for others to believe what a prisoner said." Lin Jianxue said, "You mean that, right? "
Li Ruan nodded again.
He didn't want to kill people, but he couldn't let Shen Wuwei just run away, so he crushed Shen Wuwei's core. Once the core was shattered, Shen Wuwei no longer had the ability to resist and could not escape from the palace, so he could only be caught by the imperial guards.
As for how to deal with it after being caught, it is up to Emperor Chongxuan to decide.
But...
"What's going on with this Taoist priest?" Li Ruan's face turned slightly pale, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Originally, he thought that this Taoist priest should be working for Prince Su, planning to frame Jiang Shen for colluding with demons and murdering the Holy Majesty.
But he said just now that he did all this just to ascend.
Is there anything in the palace that can make people soar?
He looked at Lin Jianxue: "Axue, did you know about Jiang Chengzhou's plan when you laid an ambush in the Tai Chi Hall beforehand? What is the purpose of this Taoist priest?" Lin Jianxue shook his head: "I don't know either." He
said
: "All I know is that Jiang Chengzhou should have an expert around him to help. Whether it was poisoning the people outside the capital, or... casting spells on Emperor Chongxuan two years ago, it should be the expert around him." "To Emperor Chongxuan.
" Casting spells?" Li Ruan opened his eyes wide in surprise, "It turns out that Emperor Chongxuan's illness is really caused by spells." Li Ruan
also had such speculations before, but because Emperor Chongxuan's illness has been going on for a long time, no spellcasting has been found. traces, so no definite conclusions can be drawn.
"So, you didn't find out why this Taoist priest helped Jiang Chengzhou?" Li Ruan asked.
"Do you think everyone is you?"
After cleaning up all the wounds and blood on Shen Wuwei's body, Lin Jianxue helped Li Ruan up: "He is a demon exorcising master, even I only dare to set up a little trick secretly He doesn't dare to be an enemy to him... how dare I investigate him."
Li Ruan said "huh".
That's true.
The truth is that unfair.
The Taoism practiced by mortals is inherited from heaven, and has the absolute ability to suppress demons. Even Lin Jianxue, a great demon who has practiced for thousands of years, is not completely sure about Shen Wuwei.
That's why there are so many exorcising masters among the people.
The skill of the Yaozu who has practiced for more than a hundred years is sometimes even inferior to a piece of talisman written by a Taoist priest who is just getting started.
What's more, Shen Wuwei's cultivation base is not low.
If Li Ruan hadn't recovered his cultivation, I'm afraid he might not be able to deal with him. Even now, after the fight, he was a little bit out of strength.
He sighed: "Forget it, anyway, he doesn't have mana now, so whatever he wants to do."
He straightened up, and only then did he feel that the cub in his belly had been particularly active.
After turning into a young man, his abdomen is still swollen, but due to his taller body shape, longer arms and legs, his body is not as heavy as when he was a teenager.
"You're full this time." Li Ruan patted his stomach angrily.
He had used a lot of spiritual power just now, and felt that the little brat in his belly was extremely excited during the fight. Fortunately, this little boy is quite sensible, he didn't come to make trouble when Li Ruan was fighting, now that the fight was over, he began to frantically absorb the spiritual energy circulating in Li Ruan's body that hadn't dissipated yet.
But now Li Ruan has no extra strength to stop it, so he can only let it go.
Lin Jianxue asked him again: "What happened to Jiang Shen?"
"The imperial physician had already passed by when I sneaked out." Li Ruan said, "The spell is harmless to ordinary people. It will be fine.”
As he spoke, he muttered in a low voice: “I’m so stupid, I’ll be fine if I get hit by that myself, how can my prototype be forced out so easily.”
Before accidentally revealing the prototype, it was all because of my own spiritual power Insufficient, never been forced.
Lin Jianxue sighed: "I just said that His Royal Highness is weak..."
Li Ruan looked up at him.
His appearance really added a lot of aura to him, and the demonic power that had just been activated had not completely dissipated, so when he looked at someone like this, he had a bit of a demonic bearing.
Lin Jianxue cleared her throat, and said seriously: "If he cares, he will be confused, so we can't blame him."
"...Aren't you the same? Seeing how angry you were just now, I thought your Royal Highness was seriously injured." "
Just angry." Li Ruan looked at the person at his feet and was still angry, and couldn't hold back. Kicked him, "Stinky Taoist priest."
Lin Jianxue laughed.
He took Li Ruan's shoulders and led him back: "Okay, you go back and rest for a while, and then look at your highness the Crown Prince. If he sees your expression now, he will be worried again. "
"Oh..."
Li Ruan always felt that there was something else he forgot to ask, but he couldn't think of it for a while, and subconsciously followed Lin Jianxue back.
He had just taken two steps, but his footsteps stopped again.
Lin Jianxue asked: "What?"
Li Ruan frowned and lowered her head.
The little brat in his belly was still crazily absorbing his spiritual power, and the absorption was even more extreme than before, as if he wanted to eat it all in one sitting.
While the spiritual power was rapidly depleting, the abdomen also began to ache.
"I seem to be..."
This little bastard, he doesn't come sooner or later, he doesn't choose this time to come out, does he?
