Wu Ming hid his figure with the help of the flower rockery, followed the two witches in front of him from a distance, and after passing through several courtyards, his eyes suddenly opened up.

In front of him was a huge square, hundreds of meters in circumference, covered with white marble, shining in the sun.

In the center of the square is a high platform, on which there are some people standing in shadows, too far away to see really.

Wu Ming hid behind the rocks and carefully observed the situation in the square, in addition to the people on the high platform, there were two teams of patrolling soldiers at the edge of the square, each team had about a dozen people, slowly circling around the square.

Looking at the mechanical steps of those soldiers, there was no energy at all, and it felt like they were all coping with errands.

After all, this is a temple, not a royal palace, so it is normal for the defense to be lax.

Wu Ming found the right time, and quickly rushed into the square when the two groups of soldiers were turning their backs to their positions, and strode in the direction of the high platform.

The voice of the Open Heaven Scroll sounded in Wu Ming's ears: "According to my information, this is the Taichang Temple near Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, which is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and is responsible for festivals and stargazing. ”

Wu Ming sighed, and then spoke: "Those women in Hanfu are witches of this era?"

"Yes, but powerful shrine maidens should be scarce in this era. ”

Wu Ming was a little surprised, he was overshadowed by Princess Chaoyun as soon as he landed before, and he thought that the witches here had the power to surpass ordinary people.

It seems that this is not the case, the shrine maidens in this Taichang Temple are just like the monks and Taoists in ordinary temples, just ordinary priests.

Wu Ming's footsteps were fast, and he quickly crossed the square and came to the bottom of the high platform, he stepped up the steps, and the scene at the top of the high platform came into view.

More than a dozen witches dressed in red and white Hanfu lined up on both sides, among which stood an old man and a woman, although they were facing away from Wu Ming, he recognized them at a glance, and the woman next to the old man was Duduyu.

Regardless of whether she was Twilight Rain or Princess Chaoyun, Wu Ming was very sure that this was the "Rising Clouds Place", and since she had found the right place, it should not be difficult to find Twilight Rain.

With layers of mystery in his heart, Wu Ming stepped forward, and at this moment, a sharp air tearing sound sounded from the side of the high platform, and the sound was sharp and piercing, resounding through the sky.

Wu Ming immediately turned his head vigilantly, only to see a golden light breaking through the sky, like a thunderbolt piercing the void, and in an instant, it had reached the top of the high platform.

Edgeworthiness!

Wu Ming was taken aback, looking at the direction that the sword light was pointing, it was obviously aimed at the Chaoyun princess in the center!

After all, he had been in battle for a long time, Wu Ming did not hesitate to shake his hand and sacrifice the light sword, and the sword pill rose into the air and turned into an arc of light that shot out, straight towards the golden sword.

Ding——!

A crisp sound of gold and iron resounded on the high platform, and the aftermath lingered for a long time, and the two sword lights, one gold and one white, were divided together, and each of them spiraled out.

At this moment, those witches only noticed the sword light in the air, they couldn't figure out what it was, but the fierce murderous aura was already terrifying.

"There are Assassin ——!"

The bold shrine maiden began to scream, but there was no one around the altar, and the soldiers in the distance could not save the fire from the distant water.

Wu Ming snorted, it was really better to come early than to come by chance, as soon as he arrived at the Temple of Chengtian, he caught up with an assassination.

The golden light circled around the high platform a few times before suddenly falling, and was grabbed by a withered yellow hand.

The owner of the hand was an unusually tall man, with a bony body that looked like a huge skeleton.

This man stood in the corner of the altar, his face was wrapped in layers of black cloth and he could not see his appearance, and his eyes were shining with green light, and he was gloomy.

"You...... You can master swordsmanship, who are you?"

The Assassin's voice was dry and hoarse, and it was unspeakably uncomfortable to hear.

Wu Ming waved his hand and withdrew the Hanguang hovering in the air, took a few steps forward, and stopped in front of Princess Chaoyun: "Are you still interrogating me? Are you an assassin or am I an assassin?"

A flash of anger flashed in the assassin's eyes: "Dead ——!"

The golden light flew up again, this time it was even faster than the previous blow, like a flash, and came straight towards Wu Ming.

Wu Ming snorted, but he didn't expect that this assassin's previous blow didn't use all his strength!

He didn't dare to be careless, and with a wave of his hands, the two swords of light and shadow were sacrificed at the same time.

The black and white sword light jumped up, volleyed into the golden mang, and two crisp crashing sounds sounded, and the three rays of light flew away separately, circling and dancing above the high platform.

For a while, the light on the high platform flashed wildly, and the sound of ding-ding-ding-ding

The shrine maidens around them had never seen a battle between the swordsmanship, and they were so frightened that they screamed in horror.

Only the old man and Princess Chaoyun were still calm, and the two of them stood in the center of the altar, letting all kinds of light fly around, never panicking.

On the empty high platform, three rays of light flew and circled, constantly hitting each other, splashing out sparks, like fireworks in the daytime, but they also made people feel chills.

The fighting was in full swing here, and the sergeants patrolling in the distance finally reacted, shouting and rushing towards the altar in the center.

The tall and thin assassin looked at Wu Ming, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes: "Nosy boy, but my task has been completed, and I will take your life next time we meet!"

Then he waved his hand to summon the golden mangs in the air, and his figure jumped backwards and jumped away from the high platform.

"I want to run!"

Wu Ming rushed to the edge of the high platform and looked down, but he could no longer find the assassin, and the man disappeared completely in broad daylight.

This assassin's swordsmanship is very sharp, and his cultivation is on par with Wu Ming, both of them are in the realm outside the realm of the Divine Wanderer, but he didn't expect to encounter such an elusive rival when he first arrived here.

The soldiers around him rushed to the high platform, raised their swords one after another, and surrounded Wu Ming: "Hurry up and arrest it!"

"Wait!"

The old man in the center of the high platform finally spoke: "He is not an assassin, you stand down!"

The old man spoke, and these soldiers immediately retreated one after another, letting Wu Ming out.

Wu Ming looked up at the old man, and saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, a Taoist crown, and a fairy wind and bones, which had the charm of scattering immortals outside the world.

The old man smiled and walked slowly to Wu Ming: "Thank you for the help of the knights, please ask the name of Gao?"

"He's just a rude person, and Lord Taichang doesn't need to be so polite to him. ”

A cold voice sounded from behind, and then Princess Chaoyun also stepped closer, looking at Wu Ming coldly with a pair of eyes, without the slightest intention of expressing gratitude.

Wu Ming stared at this Chaoyun princess for a long time, no matter how she looked, she was exactly the same as Twilight, and the tone of her speech was also somewhat similar.

"You're really not Twilight? You're not kidding. ”

The old man on the side coughed: "This is Her Royal Highness Princess Chaoyun, and you can't skip it." ”

"Isn't it really twilight?"

Wu Ming still didn't give up, a pair of eyes kept looking up and down at the Chaoyun princess in front of him, and he almost pinched her face.

"Presumptuous!"

The cold Princess Chaoyun finally showed a trace of anger: "Come on, take down this impudent person!"
