The dark wave of ghosts stopped thousands of feet away from West Valley City.

The soaring ghostly air permeates the sky, giving people a sense of suffocation just by looking at it from a distance.

In the ruins of the east city gate, Zhu Ying led a group of disciples to complete the final arrangements of the formation.

"Mr. Li is really smart. He actually bought us an hour of breathing space!"

"This hour is enough for the Taoist priests to complete the formation arrangement!"

Yue Zhen, whose face was covered in blood, looked at Li Qingshan with a complicated expression.

Li Qingshan looked calm and said calmly: "This formation is the same regardless of the layout."

Hearing this, Yue Zhen trembled. He understood what Li Qingshan meant.

How could the Ghost Emperor not see that they were setting up a formation in Xigucheng?

But the other party noticed it, but was still willing to give Xigucheng an hour.

This means that the Ghost Emperor doesn't care whether their formation is successful or not!

At the same time, three Taoists were engaging in a battle between heaven and man!

Previously, several of them decided after communicating with each other that after an hour, they would each give their own decision!

If the majority is willing to fight, then fight; if the majority is willing to give up, then give up this West Valley City!

As for Li Qingshan, he did not tell them his thoughts, but only gave them the right to choose...

In the Sanqing Hall, everyone from yesterday gathered here again.

The three great elders all looked bitter!

Han Sen, the Great Elder of the Earth Sect, couldn't help but ask: "Master, is this secret realm too difficult?"

"An enemy with a third-level cultivation level is fair enough, but once the second-level cultivation comes out, even if the three Taoists are very talented, they can't fight across two realms!"

Qian Xuantian's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he said calmly: "In the prosperous world, it is reasonable for the secret realm to become more difficult."

Hearing this explanation, Han Sen's face trembled: "Then they have no choice but to abandon this West Valley City?"

"Even though it is within the secret realm, it has already affected their Taoist hearts. Once they give up, they may give birth to inner demons in the future!"

Qian Xuantian glanced at him and said calmly: "Then what does Elder Han want me to do? Find a way to forcefully close the Sanqing Secret Realm and take them out?"

"Uh..." Han Sen was speechless for a moment. He knew that the opening of the secret realm never ended.

Elder Yang patted the old man beside him and said with relief: "Okay, no matter what the three Taoists choose in the end, we can't control it."

"It's better to just watch with peace of mind."

Elder Jin echoed: "Mr. Li is still among them, but his attitude is unclear at the moment... If he can defeat the Ghost Emperor..."

"Master Qian, if Qingshan encounters a life-or-death crisis in the secret realm, please take action to capture him." Xia Lin's tone was calm, but it contained such undeniable power!

Qian Xuantian nodded: "Please rest assured, Emperor Xia."

Let's talk about the secret realm.

The time limit of one hour is coming.

The Ghost Emperor's figure has appeared above the ghost tide.

The three Taoists stood in front of Li Qingshan, and it could be seen from the expressions on their faces that all three of them had made a decision.

Li Qingshan waved his hand and said: "Now that we have thought about it, let's talk about it together."

The next second, the three of them spoke at the same time.

Wang Xuanji said sternly: "Don't give up on Xigucheng!"

Ye Qinglong nodded: "It is not my way to compromise with ghosts."

Xu Tu said loudly: "Don't give up your persistence in order to achieve your goal."

The three Taoists have the same mind, and they all want to protect the West Valley City!

Li Qingshan smiled and said: "Okay, I understand."

"Then, how does Mr. Li choose?"

"Brother, if you don't want to fight, my third brother will understand."

Ye Qinglong and Wang Xuanji asked one after another.

Xu Tu also wanted to ask, but when he thought that his identity was not comparable to the first two, he did not ask.

Hearing this, the corners of Li Qingshan's mouth raised slightly: "Isn't it just a matter of cutting with one knife?"

"good !"

"Mr. Li is righteous!"

"Big brother is mighty and can kill the Ghost Emperor with one sword!"

Hearing Li Qingshan's affirmative answer, the three Taoists were all overjoyed!

With this help, at least they are not losing!

On the side, Yue Zhen led a group of Xigu troops, walked in front of Li Qingshan and the others, knelt down on one knee, and said in a serious voice: "My dear fellows, Xigu troops, the people of Xigu will never forget you!"

The loud roar of the Xigu Army spread far away, and the people of Xigu City, who had almost lost hope of survival, regained a glimmer of light in their eyes.

"Folks! Mr. Li and the others have decided to protect me, Xigucheng!" A young man who had lost both hands spread the news throughout the city.

At this moment, countless people had tears in their eyes and shouted wildly.

"I want to go to Dongcheng too! If you can kill one ghost, it counts as one. If you can kill two, I will make a profit!"

"Yes! We are only disabled, not dead! We are also young and middle-aged! At worst, I will bite people with a silver knife!"

"Brothers! When life and death are at stake, we can't just watch the Taoist priests and the Xigu Army fight for their lives! If we fight hard, we will have to drag a few ghosts into the water even if we die!"

On the long street of West Gucheng, more and more men are walking out!

Some of these men have lost their arms, some have broken legs, some are blind... They are all people who once protected Xigucheng...

On the other side, Li Qingshan and the Ghost Emperor stood opposite each other.

The Ghost Emperor looked at him with regret: "Why do you have to protect a group of strangers?"

"Is it because the people in Xigu City are from the human race and we are from the ghost race?"

Li Qingshan shook his head: "It's not my decision. If you give me that thing and retreat, you may be able to avoid a battle with me."

"Ha..." The Ghost Emperor said lightly: "I don't want to fight you, I just don't want to cause trouble. Do you really think I can't defeat you?"

Li Qingshan pointed his black sword directly at the Ghost Emperor and said seriously: "Then let's fight."

boom!

In an instant, two streams of light, one black and one red, collided together!

The first blow from both sides is a test!

With one blow, the Ghost Emperor discovered that Li Qingshan's speed and strength seemed not as strong as he imagined.

Even if the sword that killed hundreds of millions of ghosts that day activated the secret technique, the gap couldn't be so big, right?

However, the Ghost Emperor did not despise Li Qingshan because he had the upper hand in the first trial.

After all, that kind of knife made him feel the threat of death!

On the opposite side, after a probing strike, Li Qingshan was sure that he must seize the opportunity and hit the Ghost Emperor's vitals with one blow.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to kill this second-level ghost emperor!

After the blow, both of them had their own considerations.

The Ghost Emperor was not in a hurry to kill Li Qingshan, so he planned to take action slowly and carefully to prevent Li Qingshan from pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!

However, Li Qingshan fought very aggressively. He kept swinging his sword close to the body, regardless of defense!

Two streams of light, one black and one red, kept colliding together, and no one else could intervene in the battle between the two of them!
Chapter completed!
