Qi Lu swung his sword to attack again, and this time, Bai Suzhen did not meet the enemy head-on, and her body dodged like a ghost.

"The descendants of Nuwa who are proficient in the changes of the earth's evils, they will use a magic that the gods will not use."

When these words came out of Qi Lu's mouth, Bai Suzhen could no longer maintain a calm expression.

"This magic is called Illusion." Qi Lu continued: "Once it is unfolded, the image that appears in front of the opponent is neither an illusion nor the caster himself, but a strange form in between, similar to a clone. So now it's normal for you to be able to attack me. ”

"So you already know everything." Bai Suzhen sighed: "The previous attack was ineffective and you still don't want to give up, is it because you want to find out my true body?" ”

"It's hard for me to see who you really are, and I haven't been able to find out where you're hiding until now." Qi Lu persevered, "But my attack is not completely ineffective!" ”

At this time, the doubts on Qi Lu's face had already been swept away. The golden rainbow sword swung out of his hand again, and countless brilliant and dazzling golden lights, like flying meteors, dragged a long flame trail, and struck towards the area where Bai Suzhen stayed.

The entire palace instantly transformed into a burning sky, and the light of falling meteors contained overwhelming power. Even Bai Suzhen, who is a descendant of the Nuwa clan, saw that this infinite power also showed a look of jealousy.

"No spell is perfect, and the art of illusion has its own holes." Qi Lu said loudly: "And this death hole is hidden in your phantom, once I find it, the phantom will disappear in an instant, and your true body will also be harmed!" ”

"Don't you think about it!" Bai Suzhen screamed angrily, and a strange color suddenly appeared in the depths of her pupils.

In an instant, the true qi on her body erupted fiercely like thunder and lightning, and then converged again, and countless water snakes swarmed out from behind her to meet Qi Lu's edge.

At this moment, the distance between the two of them was twisted in a very strange form, and even the golden light that burst out from Qi Lu also changed its trajectory, thus losing its crosshairs and gradually weakening.

Bai Suzhen's eyes showed a smug look, although he didn't know the origin of this god, but it seemed that after surviving the catastrophe, his strength had been greatly reduced, and it was impossible for him to defeat him.

But her composure only lasted for a second, and from the silver water snakes flying all over the sky, Qi Lu suddenly appeared in an unexpected position, and the golden rainbow sword in her hand instantly penetrated her throat and stabbed into the wooden pillar behind her, swinging up and down like a threat.

"Ahh Bai Suzhen exclaimed hoarsely, and her figure was violently deformed, then faded and thinned until she disappeared.

"It worked." Qi Lu groaned lightly and protected his sword in front of his chest, not slacking off by the brief victory in front of him.

"It's so strong!" There was a groan/moan in the dark.

Outside the hall came the sound of rebellious footsteps and the metal sound of soldiers crashing.

"Hold this rebellion for me!" Bai Suzhen's voice hidden in the darkness was very loud and clear, and that was because she sensed that her subordinates were coming.

But the sound of the command immediately revealed her hiding place, and Qi Lu Xunsheng sent a sharp blow. The pale figure and the sword light crossed over, and there was the sound of bones shattering.

It seemed that something crossed Qi Lu's shoulder and fell to the ground, taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Bai Suzhen completely disappeared into the palace, after all, Qi Lu's sword just now only caused a slight injury to her.

Qi Lu looked down, and there was a sparkling blue light on the cold marble floor, which flickered for a second and then disappeared. Before he could take a closer look at what it was, nearly a dozen figures swarmed into the temple and surrounded him, all of them warriors in armor.

But this is not the worst thing, outside the door, there are constantly soldiers from Tianwu City rushing in with torches, and the number of people is increasing. Suddenly, the encirclement shrank open, and two general-like big men went straight to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu's eyes shrank suddenly, because he saw that the two big men were each holding a young man covered in blood and tied up with flowers.

"Bai Yuan!" Qi Lu screamed.

"Lay down your arms and surrender, or he'll be your end!" Several large knives rested on the neck of the dying white chariot.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi"

"Old Wu?"

"There were too many people, we couldn't resist, so Mr. Wu had to retreat first."

Although Bai Yuan's words were very tactful, Qi Ludun knew that Lao Wu was a cowardly offender, so he left his companion and fled.

One of the samurai shouted, "Do you still want to resist, and those who rebel will be killed!" ”

The youkai who came to reinforce were so numerous that they filled the entire palace. At this time, someone found the corpse of Elder Wuji, and suddenly the demons were boiling, and there were already monsters gritting their teeth with hatred for Qi Lu, wanting to break him into pieces.

Is it to break out of the encirclement, or to forcibly lift the seal to awaken the sleeping spirits in the body and go on a killing spree? Qi Lu was even more worried that when he retreated, Bai Yuan would die because of it. Just as he hesitated, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Cut off the bead curtain behind the throne!" ”

Qi Lu's eyes suddenly lit up, he turned around and crossed over, and in the exclamation of the demons, the arrow fell in front of the bead curtain.

In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and all the demons were stunned, and they didn't dare to take a step forward into the bead curtain. Since the completion of Tianwu City, the city lord has ordered that those who enter the bead curtain in vain will be killed! Even the three elders who were in a high position could only stand at the foot of the steps from a distance when they reported important matters.

Qi Lu snorted softly, and the golden rainbow sword in his hand slashed down between the lightning and stone fire, a bead curtain was cut down, and countless beads turned into a rain of light and shot out in all directions. And the monsters in the hall, because they were afraid of the law, could only watch him act arbitrarily.

How do you know that there is a bead curtain behind the curtain, Qi Lu keeps moving, the golden rainbow sword is flying wantonly in his hand, the light and rain keep splashing, and the sound of the beads falling to the ground continues to "ping pong", echoing in the hall.

When Qi Lu put away the sword in his hand, all the bead curtains were cut down by him. He saw Bai Suzhen's figure appear, standing in front of him with her hands folded in front of her chest and her eyes closed.

At this moment, Qi Lu seemed to have been suddenly frozen by some kind of spell and turned into a wooden man. Not only that, but everyone in the hall froze, and they all saw an incredible strange thing.

Bai Suzhen in front of Qi Lu was motionless, in fact, it was not that she didn't want to move, but her body was cold and stiff, and there was some kind of strange aura reflected around her body.

Qi Lu sighed lightly and lowered his eyes sadly. Bai Suzhen in front of her has been dead for a long time, and her body has been placed in a tailor-made ice coffin, creating the illusion that she is listening to the government.

And the person who used Bai Suzhen's corpse to give orders, because Qi Lu saw through the phantom technique, escaped safely when everyone poured into the Water Spirit Palace.

The golden rainbow sword turned back into a pendant in his hand, but Qi Lu forgot to hang it back around his neck. In his heart, there was endless anger. It turned out that the person who was pretending to be Bai Suzhen had just said all the lies to herself, no wonder she spared no effort to kill Xu Xian, because once the husband and wife met, the secret would be revealed to the world, and this conspirator would no longer have a way to control Tianwu City!

When Qi Lu calmed down, the anger in his heart had been replaced by sadness, because he realized that Bai Suzhen in the ice coffin did not die at the hands of others, but because of the exhaustion of true qi, which led to the depletion of life.

There is only one reason that can explain the cause of her death, and that is that Tianwu City was built by Bai Suzhen with her own life, and she has been dead for a thousand years!

Qi Lu sighed and turned around, and saw a person who was even sadder than him. Bai Yuan was looking at Bai Suzhen in the ice coffin stupidly, and tears were already streaming down her pale face.

Suddenly, Bai Yuan shouted, and all the ropes tied to him were broken, and he fell to his knees in front of the ice coffin and wept silently, his head banging on the ground.

As if infected, all the youkai fell to their knees, and the temple was filled with weeping.

Qi Lu couldn't bear this sad scene any longer, and just as he wanted to leave silently, he saw a hand exposed behind the ice coffin. He hurriedly walked around to the back of the coffin, and suddenly saw a dead person, she was the maid that Qi Lu had met when he first entered the Water Spirit Palace.

She was dead, the muscles on her face twisted together from atrophy, but there were no scars on her body.

Qi Lu stared at the strange face and reached out to press the veins on her wrist. After a long time, he withdrew his hand, took the young woman in his arms, and came to the empty throne.

"Xiaoxian!" A middle-aged man who looked like a general in the crowd screamed, and the person also came to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu asked, "Do you recognize her?" ”

"She's the maid in my house, she disappeared last night, I didn't expect her to die here." A sad expression appeared on the man's face. "Was she executed by the fake Sister Bai for trespassing in the Water Spirit Palace?"

No one answered his question, and neither could Qi Lu, he had too many questions to know the answers, and the truth was like a cloud in his mind that could not be dissipated.

Suddenly, a monster said with a crying voice: "Sister Bai has died a long time ago, what's the use of us staying here!" ”

All the demons were speechless, Bai Suzhen was the spiritual pillar of Tianwu City, and when the truth was presented naked in front of their eyes, these monsters had lost their last faith.

The sky in the east had already appeared a touch of fish belly white, and Qi Lu suddenly saw a dazzling light rising into the sky, and the heavens and the earth changed color because of this. The monsters in the hall were stunned by this sudden vision, and their eyes were cast on the mysterious pillar of light.

"If you have to give up even hope, then what's the point of the cultivation you're waiting for?" As soon as the words fell, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the pillars of light suddenly separated, and thousands of rays of light radiated from them, like a scorching sun falling into the world, driving away all the darkness before dawn.

The monsters in the main hall all walked out of the Water Spirit Palace to check what was going on, only Qi Lu followed behind, but the corners of his mouth outlined a snicker.

In the depths of that brilliance, a burly figure appeared, and he quickly came to the sky above the crowd and stopped. This deity was covered with colorful divine light, and although the monsters in Tianwu City couldn't see his true face clearly, they could only vaguely recognize the outline of the human head and tiger body in the strong light, but one thing was enough.

Because this figure has long been deeply engraved in the depths of their hearts, and they will not forget it until they die, how can they not recognize it?

"The Great God of Heavenly Wu has descended!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd said something in a trembling voice, and they took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowing. All the demons were shocked, and in an instant, they fell like a jade mountain, and the crowded crowd fell to the ground with a bang.

The heavens and the earth suddenly quieted down, and I saw Tianwu wave his sleeves, "Bai Yuan stepped forward to listen to the order!" ”

Surprised and delighted, he walked forward in a daze, and then knelt down again and saluted, not daring to look up at the gods in the air.

"From today onwards, you are the new city lord of Tianwu City!"

"What!" Bai Yuan was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what the Great God of Tianwu said.

In the midst of joy and sorrow, Bai Yuan only felt that his hands were weak and almost fell to the ground, but the monsters around him had already helped him up quickly.

"How can I be virtuous, how can I be worthy of this great responsibility"

In an instant, Bai Yuan's faint voice was drowned out by the bursting cheers like waves.

Tianwu smiled at him, his figure slowly disappeared, and the morning sun broke through the clouds, dyeing the earth a golden color.
