Chapter 173: A Secret Crisis Comes

When Duanmu Xu fought Fayun again, perhaps after being beaten for a long time, he also slowly figured out some doorways, some doorways for middle realm cultivators to stimulate spiritual energy.

Because of the aura condensation, the cultivators of the Middle Realm can urge the aura more freely, and they will not worry too much about the lack of aura, and at the same time, they can also perform more complex techniques, which also makes some superficial techniques more exquisite.

For example, if the aura is not good, the light of those protective bodies may be uneven, or the density may not be enough, or the structure may be unstable, and there will always be various defects. But in Duanmu Xu's view, the guard square inch displayed by Fa Yin at the beginning was like a treasure of the aura structure, which was ingenious.

When attacked by external forces, those auras will defend or fight back accordingly. On this Fayun, Duanmu Xu sensed that it had some flaws with the help of the perception of the Ming Wei Realm, but the other party relied on the advantage of aura, so that Duanmu Xu could only defend, and there were not many opportunities to fight back.

Fayun's attacks became more and more ruthless, and Duanmu Xu's parry was indeed becoming more and more laborious, and several attacks failed to resolve fully after all, not only was the flesh and blood damaged, but even Linghai was slightly unstable.

Thinking that Jian Xiaowan should have left with someone, Duanmu Xu thought about retreating.

Cultivating the Three Realms, the Lingxu Realm is the Lingxu Realm in terms of agility, the Ming Micro Realm is the Ming Micro Realm in terms of perception, and the Jinpan Realm is good at defense, so when Duanmu Xu retreated and fled with the momentum, Fayun could only chase after him again with hatred.

This may be the time when Fayun is most aggrieved. It's obviously a mid-realm cultivator, so why can't you take down a beginner realm monk. Seeing that this kid seemed to have the intention of escaping, Fayun's attack was even more tricky, not only beckoning to Duanmu Xu, but also intentionally or unintentionally smashing some brick pillars behind Duanmu Xu, and the bricks scattered on the ground were Fayun's best attack.

Once Duanmu Xu turned around, Fa Yun not only consumed a lot of spiritual energy, but also urged those bricks to attack Duanmu Xu.

While dealing with this magic cloud, Duanmu Xu also saw the broken bricks scattered all over the place, and roughly guessed what this guy's idea was.

It's an aura-draining practice. It seems that this person really spares no effort to keep himself.

When a mid-realm monk has to deal with a lower realm at any cost, the situation in the lower realm is quite bad. Duanmu Xu was a little overwhelmed at this time.

Duanmu Xu struggled to support, and finally urged the aura, and his body took a few steps back, and with a wave of Fayun's cuffs, those broken bricks on the ground flew towards Duanmu Xu.

Duanmu Xu urged the guards to break even more and fall down, but more broken bricks struck again.

This is Fayun's careful arrangement, and the layers of broken bricks besiege not only make Duanmu Xu have to urge the defenders to protect themselves, but also use this to consume the opponent's aura over and over again.

Those broken bricks became more and smaller bricks, and they also became more attack points.

From the beginning of the fight between the two, the people in this alley had long since run away without a trace and hid far away. At this time, no one came. At least neither expected anyone to come.

The broken bricks in front of Duanmu Xu seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and the pressure from those attacks suddenly disappeared. Immediately after that, a figure passed in front of him, his body was too fast, and he attacked directly towards Fayun.

Under the long-term battle between Fayun and Duanmu Xu, the consumption of spiritual energy was not small, and the consumption of those broken bricks was even greater before. In the face of this sudden figure, as well as the fierce wind force it carried, the hasty response put himself at a disadvantage.

And the opponent's attacks were faster and faster, making Fayun tired to deal with.

Duanmu Xu looked at the figure not far in front of him, his movements were too fast to see really, but this should not be the person he said he was familiar with.

"Let's go. Sure enough, the man spoke, and the voice was unfamiliar, but it felt very kind.

Duanmu Xu looked at the remnants of the fierce battle in front with some reluctance, and then rushed to the back, and soon disappeared from the alley.

After picking up some more remote alleys, Duanmu Xu slowly came to Jingyan Temple.

At the mountain gate of Jingyan Temple, he reported his name and said that he wanted to visit Duguheng.

Dugu Heng is known to everyone in Jingyan Temple, but the situation at this time is a little different, the monk originally wanted to send Duanmu Xu away like this, but after thinking about it, maybe a friend came and could enlighten him.

Duanmu Xu followed the monk who knew the guest, turned three times and two times, and finally came to Duguheng's dormitory.

When he saw Dugu Heng, Duanmu Xu was quite surprised. The big grinning and energetic Dugu Heng looked frowning and silent. Seeing Duanmu Xulai, Dugu Heng only nodded slightly, and did not move on the futon.

"Brother Dugu, what happened?" Seeing this, Duanmu Xu also felt that something must have happened.

"My master has passed away. Dugu replied, his words full of hatred.

Duanmu Xu was stunned for a moment, he never expected such a thing, in the purple bamboo forest, he could be regarded as having met Master Yunqing, but he never thought that it was only a short time later, how could he pass away. "Please also ask Brother Dugu to mourn. ”

"He died in the treacherous scheme of the Shi family. Dugu Heng continued.

"The Shi family?" Duanmu Xu was slightly surprised, how could the Shi family be involved everywhere.

"Exactly. In order to give me a prescription for refining the body, the master went to the Shi family to ask for a medicine, but was designed by Shi Jiwei, and after being defeated and injured by Gao Zhenren of the Yiyang Sect in Luoyun Gorge, he was finally ambushed by the Shi family and trapped in the canyon. Dugu Heng said, the tears that were originally dry became a little wet in his eyes.

Duanmu Xu listened like this, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became. From this point of view, after the Battle of the Purple Bamboo Forest, the Shi family actually began to design against the Jingyan Temple and the Yiyang Sect. Then what happened in Bingzhou City may not really be a dog jumping over the wall.

Looking at Xianjing City at this time, the crown prince was in charge of the country, and the queen and the princes all went to Daishan with Zhao Tianyin. The Shi family is the real person in power in this Xianjing City.

"What are Brother Dugu's plans?" Duanmu Xu asked.

Dugu Heng looked at Duanmu Xu in front of him, thinking about the relationship between this Zen heir and the Pan family, as well as the Shi family's attitude towards this person, maybe he was still a powerful helper to deal with the Shi family.

"I don't have any plans, just wait here for Master Yunlai and Gao Zhenren to arrange, and when the time comes, I will kill that Shi Jiwei with my own hands. ”

"Where is Gao Zhenren at this time?" Duanmu Xu remembered that he and Gao Guards escorted Zhao Luojia north, and along the way, Gao Guards could be regarded as people who could make trouble.

"Gao Zhenren is staying in this temple temporarily, and I will take you there. Although Dugu Heng was a little surprised, Duanmu Xu seemed to be a little familiar with that Gao Zhenren.

Duanmuxu then met with the Gao guards, and also met Lu Shaoyun and her master, who had secretly returned. These are all people who want to deal with the Shi family.

"Did you fight with Shi Jiwei when you came?" After Duanmuxu briefly talked about the situation of returning to Xianjing City next time, Dugu Heng heard Duanmuxu and Shi Jiwei fighting, and felt so sorry, why wasn't he there, when the time came, he would have to fight for his own life, and he would also tear the surnamed Shi to pieces.

"He has some mid-realm masters around him. Duanmu Xu replied.

Tao Yaoyao nodded, after returning to Xianjing City, she tried to go to Shifu to explore, but the result surprised her a little. It didn't feel easy, and if she hadn't seen the opportunity early, I'm afraid she would have been left there. "Where the Shi family is, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it looks from the outside. ”

"That's why we're not going to act for the time being. Master Yunlai said.

"I heard that there are many powerful predecessors in the Vinaya Sect's cultivation, or ......" Duanmu Xu thought that since the Jingyan Temple knew that the Shi family was the murderer behind the murder of Master Yunqing, why didn't he ask the upper realm ancestor in the temple to take action.

Master Yunlai's face was slightly embarrassed, but all the ancestors who had broken through the middle realm didn't seem to pay attention to these mundane things in the temple, and they were all concentrating on cultivation, some were inside the temple and some were outside the temple. "This kind of thing that is tainted with cause and effect is up to us to do. ”

"What are the master's plans?" Duanmu Xu asked.

"Wait and see. This is Yunlai's answer.

"When?" Duanmu Xu asked.

"When we can make a move. Yunlai's answer made Duanmu Xu not hear any useful advice. Perhaps, this is really the way of being a monk.

However, Duanmu Xu couldn't just wait. He wants to enter the palace and, if possible, rescue Chu Baiwei.

None of this can wait.

If the crown prince Zhao Jiancheng really rebelled, it was very likely that the people in the palace would bear the brunt.

Then Zhao Jiancheng was already in control of Xianjing City at this time, so what was he waiting for.

Duanmu Xu pondered by himself, thinking about what he would think and speculate if Uncle Huangfu was here. From Uncle Huangfu helping him to snatch the soul in the sacrifice, to a fire in Bowangfeng, everything is the result of repeated deduction.

What is the reason why Zhao Jiancheng has not yet started at this time? It must be that the time is not yet ripe.

When is the right time?

If Zhao Jiancheng announced the enthronement of the world at this time, it would definitely attract Zhao Tianyin's monstrous anger. Unless Zhao Tianyin makes this trip to Daishan, Zhao Jiancheng has already made arrangements, so that Zhao Tianyin will never have a chance to return to Xianjing. Thinking about it this way, Zhao Jiancheng's first step must be to wait for the news of Zhao Tianyin's death to come.

This is the reason why Zhao Jiancheng is still standing still at this time.

But rebellion is such a big thing, so Zhao Jiancheng can't just wait so simply. If Daishan's arrangement didn't work and Zhao Tianyin didn't die, then Zhao Jiancheng couldn't just give up and wait for Zhao Tianyin to come back to punish the crime.

Then Zhao Jiancheng must still have the means to protect himself. It is far from enough to control this Xianjing City in his hands, and he may not be able to control this Xianjing City in his hands. Zhao Jiancheng must have a backhand. Lotsi's annexation is his successor. The Shi family is Zhao Jiancheng's reliance.

But is the Shi family enough?

Duanmu Xu felt that the Shi family was not enough. He thought that the four princes, Zhao Pingcheng, with the help of Uncle Huangfu, burned the elite of the Naiban tribe of the Golden Horde alive, so the relationship between the Beiting Jiedu envoy and the four princes was extraordinary. When the time comes, the soldiers and horses of Tingzhou will go all the way south, and it is not far from this Xianjing City, how will Zhao Jiancheng deal with it. Unless, Zhao Jiancheng has other horses.

Duanmu Xu continued to deduce, feeling that he did not know enough about this constitutional court.

At the same time, he was a little worried about Zhao Luojia, who went to Daishan. If Daishan is a trap, Zhao Luojia at this time can be regarded as throwing himself into the net and taking the initiative to jump in.
