Xu Guan left the nightfish lair after Wu Yan, originally thinking of returning to Shanggu City to catch up with the black cat first, and then going to the imperial capital. But when he arrived at Xiao Ai's house in Shanggu City, he only saw Bojun and Ji Day, who came to pick him up, and after briefly understanding the situation, he hurriedly said goodbye to them and rushed to the imperial capital alone.

Xu Guan's cultivation of the Qiankun Jue also belongs to the Taoist exercises, so he can easily sense the Phi Luo Purple Qi and the Five Thunder Righteous Method, which are also Taoist secret techniques, plus the true qi of the Sealing Dust Dao Elder and the Old Heavenly Master, it was Xu Guan who came to the vicinity of the imperial capital, and he noticed these two Taoist masters on the southeast side of the imperial capital from afar.

Xu Guan thought about it for a while, and went directly to the south to find the dust sealing road chief.

Feng Chen also sensed a powerful and familiar Dao aura from a distance, and he was standing by the window and looking closely, when a figure was already standing in front of his window.

"It's hard work for the dust sealing road, everything is okay in the imperial capital?" Xu Guan said to the dust sealing.

"Everything was fine. Feng Chen's old face showed a warm smile, he looked Xu Guan up and down, showing a surprised look: "It's only been a few days, and Xu Jushi's cultivation has gone to a higher level, which is really gratifying." ”

Xu Guan smiled modestly, "I'm ashamed." ”

After a brief polite sentence, the two of them began to get down to business. Xu Guan knew that Wu Yan must have come to the imperial capital one step ahead of him, so he asked Feng Chen: "Have the lichs moved in the past two days?"

"Not yet. Feng Chen shook his head. "I've always been guarding here, and outside the barrier south of the imperial capital, I've never found a lich acting in a lich. ”

"Then have you ever seen a little girl in red appear outside the barrier?"

After Feng Chen heard this, he recalled it very seriously for a while before shaking his head.

Xu Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Feng Chen asked rhetorically, "Why did Xu Jushi pay attention to that little girl in red alone?

Xu Guan was slightly stunned for a moment when asked, and then said with some hesitation: "Well, Yu met this little girl in the nightfish lair a few days ago, her cultivation is not weak, and Yu and her at that time did not distinguish the winner or loser, and then they retreated." Yu was curious where she would go, so he casually asked the chief. ”

"Then, is she from the Lich Clan?" Feng Chen's eyes were very sophisticated, and he could see at a glance that the relationship between Xu Guan and that little girl was definitely not as simple as he said.

Xu Guan heard Feng Chen ask so bluntly, it was not easy to lie, so he could only nod and say yes.

As if he understood something, Feng Chen sighed softly, stroked his snow-white long beard, and said with deep meaning: "The imperial capital has always been a battleground between the Lich Clan and our decent people, and that little girl will definitely not be absent here in order to gain cultivation." Maybe it's time for her to show up when the Lich Clan acts in the future. ”

"Perhaps. Xu Guan was a little embarrassed, he wanted to quickly change the topic, and it happened that he learned from Ji Yan in Shanggu City that the black cat had left Yannan City and came to the imperial capital a few days ago, so he asked, "Then have you seen the black cat Moge come to the imperial capital?"

"Moge?" Feng Chen's brows furrowed when he was asked like this, he must have heard of a big monster like a black cat with more than seven hundred years of Taoism, coupled with the relationship with the orange cat, they may have met a few times, this old Taoist searched for memories very seriously: "I haven't seen it either." Why? It's coming to the imperial capital, too?"

"Mr. Merge must have arrived a long time ago, but I don't know where it's hiding now. Xu Guan asserted.

Feng Chen also understands the black cat's personality, back then, the black cat fought to the death with Dongying's three onmyoji, and tried his best to cultivate, just to stop the pace of Dongying's army advancing to slaughter the village, so Feng Chen admired the black cat very much. He knew that if the black cat came, it would definitely be to help protect the imperial capital. "It's just that even if it comes, it won't be able to enter the enchantment. It lurks outside, and it would be dangerous if the lich spotted it. ”

Xu Guan was also shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect it in advance. It is good for Mr. Merge to come to the Imperial Capital to help, but because it is a monster body, it can't enter the Imperial Capital Barrier like himself and the two old Taoists, so it can only lurk somewhere near the barrier, but now there are many people from the Lich Clan gathered outside, and if it is discovered, it will be very bad. Even if it is cultivated, but in the face of so many enemies, how can it deal with it, not to mention that Mr. Nanshan and Wu Yan, and the two great witches of Wu Zong and Wu Heng, who hit Ouyang Qi hard, are also here.

"Mr. Merge is in a very bad situation at the moment. Xu Guan exclaimed, remembering that he was still a night ray a while ago, and he entered the enchantment through a small opening opened by the old heavenly master, and he immediately turned around and wanted to go out of the enchantment to find the black cat, and bring it into the enchantment to avoid it temporarily.

"Wait!" Seeing Xu Guan turn around, Feng Chen's old dao instantly understood what he was going to do, "Don't panic Xu Jushi, that black cat Moge doesn't know how many times he has encountered life and death dangers in the past seven hundred years of cultivation, I believe that it can still cope with this situation." According to the old way, it should have successfully lurked near the imperial capital by now, and if you go out to find it now, it is likely to startle the snake and hinder its hidden movement. ”

Xu Guan thought about Feng Chen's words, and it was indeed the case, so he turned to Lao Dao Shi and said apologetically: "It was Xu Guan who was reckless and almost broke the big thing." Just mentioning this, Xu Guan has something unclear. ”

"Xu Jushi, please speak. Dusty made a gesture of please.

"It's easy to understand that the Imperial Capital Barrier can keep out alien cultivators except humans, but why is the Lich Clan also being kept out? After all, the Ancient Wu Clan is also one of the branches of the Human Race. ”

"The Nightmares, in ancient times, were not much different from the Terrans, so why were the Nightrays also blocked by this barrier, do you know why?" Feng Dust guided him.

"Because of the bloodline. At that time, it was forbidden to enter the enchantment with the infected Nightfish bloodline in his body, but now that the Nightfish bloodline has been cleared, he can enter again. Xu Guan didn't think twice.

"That's it. Feng Chen stroked his beard and said slowly: "In fact, there are subtle differences between the bloodlines of the Wu Clan and the Human Race, but this difference is not as obvious as that of the Night Clan. The Wu people have a trace of half-demon and half-god in their bodies, but they are not demons or gods, so they can't be regarded as human beings strictly speaking. Because of this, they were also stopped outside. Didn't you notice that the guards stationed in the imperial capital were not surnamed Wu? Even the Wu clan in the inn could not enter the imperial capital, so they could only send other people with eight surnames to garrison it. ”

Feng Chen looked at Xu Guan, who suddenly realized, and continued to explain: "Those ancient witches who have lived for thousands of years are all members of the Wu clan. Apart from a few of them, have you seen any other wizard live this long?"

"However, the other eight clansmen in the inn also practice witchcraft exercises, and there are also people who have reached the realm of great witches. ”

"That's true. The Wudao exercises are not only practiced by the Wu people, but they are the most suitable for the Wu people to practice. , other clansmen can only practice because of their similar physique, but the difficulty and progress of cultivation are very different from those of the Lich clan. Feng Chen pointed at Xu Guan: "Think about the time when you were infected and turned into a night fish, can you also use our Taoist Qiankun exercises, but you can't use all your strength." In addition to the fact that your physique is weakened and has not recovered, a large part of it is because the bloodline and the exercises do not fit perfectly. ”

Xu Guan nodded, "I see, I always thought that the Lich Clan and the Human Race were exactly the same, but the exercises were different. ”

Feng Chen shook his head and chuckled, seeing that since Xu Guan had returned from his cultivation, he intended to let him guard the north side of the imperial capital, but unfortunately before he could speak, he heard Xu Guan throw another question.

"Xu Guan still has something unclear. ”

"What's the matter?" Feng Chen's words in this short moment were more than he had said all these days combined, and his throat felt a little sore.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for the Lich Clan to bribe the masters of the Terran Race and sneak into the Imperial Capital?"

That's a good question. Feng Chen secretly agreed in his heart, and it was not good not to answer. I had to say patiently: "A hundred years ago, the Lich Clan did this once. But the master is different from ordinary people, whether it is a monk or a martial artist, after cultivating to a certain realm, there will be a lot of energy in the body, although the person with such strong skills will not be blocked from entering the enchantment, but the body will be sensed by the array after touching that layer of enchantment, and the warning will be triggered immediately, and the guards of the inn in the imperial capital will be the first to target the person, as long as the other party has signs of approaching the coal mountain, the guardian will come forward to stop it, ask the reason, if it is detected that the other party is not good, it will be captured. ”

"What if the guardians can't defeat each other? After all, the guardian of the Imperial Capital Enchantment is just a ground guard. ”

"The Imperial Capital Enchantment was built with this problem in mind, and the original idea was that it was best not to have a first-class master at the Tianzi level to waste a lot of time guarding here, and it was best to use the power of a third-grade wizard to defend it, and secondly, this third-grade wizard had enough ability to resist the invasion of super masters in the imperial capital. ”

"Super master?"

"A martial artist who has perfected the realm and is not weaker than the Great Witch. Lao Dao continued to talk about the operation of the enchantment: "In order to be able to accomplish this, this formation can also be artificially controlled. Guardians can take a tenth of the power of the barrier's defenses to deliver precision strikes at a point within the Imperial Capital. Don't underestimate this tenth, its lethality is enough to penetrate the full defense of a great witch. "There are still hidden words that have not been said, that is, the array is very fragile.

In order to prevent accidents, the weakness of the barrier was never told to anyone else, not even the Imperial Capital Guardian of the Inn, who only knew that the enemy could not invade and approach the Eye on the top of the Coal Mountain.

"It's a perfect formation. Xu Guan admired from the bottom of his heart. But he also knows the truth that heaven and earth are incomplete, there has never been absolute perfection in the world, and this enchantment must also have weaknesses, but he has never thought about it carefully, and he doesn't plan to ask at this time, because he shouldn't ask.
