The night sky washed by rain is filled with stars like a sea and the Milky Way is brilliant.
Bai Yunsheng stood on the Yunxiao Pavilion, facing the abyss. The silent cold wind blew the strange sea of clouds, and the whole world was vast.
"Did I miss something?"
Bai Yunsheng's tendency to be cautious and suspicious happened again, but this time it did make him feel uneasy.
Feeling uneasy, Bai Yunsheng closed his eyes and thought about his trip to Lihuobuzhou from beginning to end. However, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. When he opened his eyes, the inexplicable feeling in his heart grew stronger.
From the moment he left Yinma Mountain to the time he exposed Sima Ming, everything seemed to be going too smoothly. Even counting the troubles they encountered, they were all resolved safely.
Even for the reunion with Xiao Fengyi, everything seems to have been written already, just waiting for him to play the role.
Suddenly, Bai Yunsheng, who was overlooking the desolate world, flashed his light, and a tiny thought emerged in his mind.
That was a possibility that he completely ignored, but it was an extremely normal and extremely dangerous possibility.
Bai Yunsheng immediately turned around and walked back to Yunxiao Pavilion. In the attic, the ghost prison had been fully opened, and the old man was conducting the final judgment on his beloved disciple.
Perhaps letting Sima Ming die unconsciously is a good way to atone for his sins.
"slow!"
At this moment, Bai Yunsheng came in and shouted loudly, stopping Sima Ming from being swallowed up by the red ghost.
Upon hearing this, Sima Juan immediately stopped the operation of the prison and looked at Bai Yunsheng who turned back in surprise with Sima Bao.
Sima Duan calmed down and asked, "What else can I do, little friend?"
Bai Yunsheng approached the Ghost Prison and said:
"Please close the prison first, I have something to find out."
"What's the matter?"
"It's hard to say."
Sima Duan suppressed his depression and waved away the Ghost Prison.
Sima Ming, who had already lost consciousness, immediately collapsed to the ground. Bai Yunsheng did not hesitate, stepped forward and lifted the black clothes from his chest, and his calm eyes suddenly fell into boundless shock.
"What's wrong?"
Sima Duan asked in doubt, and walked forward to look at Sima Ming's exposed chest.
At this moment, Bai Yunsheng stood up numbly, with his eyebrows furrowed and a look of panic on his face. He reacted for a moment before saying seriously:
"He is not Sima Ming."
"What did you say?"
Sima Bao immediately exclaimed and came over to stare at the person on the ground. It was undoubtedly Sima Ming's appearance.
At this time, Sima Duan's irritable heart also jumped suddenly, and his majestic eyebrows were tightly knitted, waiting for Bai Yunsheng's explanation.
Bai Yunsheng said: "You two don't know. After entering Yinma Mountain, Sima Ming had a fight with the demon beast Fu Dou. His chest was severely injured by Fu Dou's Jiumei True Fire, but there were no scars on this man's body."
As he spoke, his eyes showed deep uneasiness.
When he heard the name of the disaster, Sima Bao questioned without confidence: "Have you recovered in these days?"
Bai Yunsheng categorically denied:
"Impossible, the Nine Moments True Fire can burn all things. If Hu Dou hadn't stopped intentionally, Sima Ming would have turned to ashes."
Sima Duan, who had been sulking all the time, nodded with lingering fear, and continued: "I have heard that the traces left by the Jiumei True Fire will never disappear."
Sima Bao said dubiously: "It seems that we have all been deceived. This person is just a stand-in. The real Sima Ming has disappeared."
"No, the real Sima Ming is still in Shifa Mountain."
As Bai Yunsheng spoke, his karma condensed a wisp of sword energy, harvesting the lives of the people on the ground who were lingering.
Sima Duan said: "Why do you say this, little friend?"
Bai Yunsheng said: "Because the purpose of Yanyu Tower has not been achieved yet."
"What do you mean..." Sima Duan has lived for nearly a thousand years and is by no means an old fool. He immediately reacted and exclaimed, "No, origin branch!"
Whoosh!
The rough words were still echoing in the room. Sima Duan teleported and disappeared, heading straight for the branch. Bai Yunsheng also said without stopping:
"Master Sima, please immediately order people to block all passages down the mountain!"
Sima Bao was not a fool. He immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded solemnly and teleported away.
Bai Yunsheng was not in a hurry to leave. If Yanyu Tower really invaded the origin, he would not be able to stop it.
At this moment, in the heart of this young man who had gone through many hardships, an illusion of despair was inexplicably born.
Bai Yunsheng has always tried his best to achieve his goals - although most of them were forced by reality and he did it as a last resort, but this time he missed Sima Ming by one move, which was one of the few mistakes he made in his life.
One of the failures.
However, Bai Yunsheng was not disappointed by the defeat, but suddenly felt a sense of loss and exhaustion.
He walked out of the room just before dawn.
The sky and earth were pitch black, with a cold wind blowing and dark clouds surging.
Bai Yunsheng smiled bitterly, never expecting that the real conspiracy had just begun.
Speaking of which, Sima Duan, who rushed to the guardian site as quickly as possible, was still a step too late. Sima Ming had already entered the Suzaku Barrier holding the sacred beast token.
At this moment, he raised his hands high, holding a huge ball of light overflowing with white light. The ball of light contained a terrifyingly pure energy of the five elements.
Ten feet away in front of him was a rhombus emitting red light. Pure fire energy was passing through the barrier and floating up to the top of the wide and deep grotto.
"Evil fellow, stop it!"
Sima Duan thought with his toes and knew what this guy was going to do. The fire branch was the foundation of Lihuo Continent, and there must be no mistakes.
Of course, he also knew that although Sima Ming's power was powerful, it was still impossible to destroy the branches, but it was still possible to destroy the barrier set up by Suzaku.
Once the barrier that prevents the loss of source energy is gone, it will accelerate the death of the branches.
But now the most powerful person in the Tianying position is like a toothless tiger. He can only threaten outside the barrier with a fierce look - no one can enter the barrier without the token of the mythical beast.
At this moment, the situation on Shifa Mountain also changed dramatically.
The red clouds surrounding the mountains gathered at the top, roaring into dragons, and the restless vitality of the five elements surged crazily towards the mountainside in a violent tornado.
The lush mangrove forests on the mountain are withering in large areas, and the endless essence of life merges into the vitality and flows towards the origin of fire.
The awakened elders and disciples of Bajiao Cave witnessed all this in shock, but they could only stand where they were, indifferent.
In the guardian ground, the light above Sima Ming's head became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire grotto like daylight.
Sima Duan, who was helpless on the outside, was extremely anxious. Through the barrier, he could already feel the pure and chaotic five elements energy in the light, and there seemed to be a special power mixed in it.
The unfused five elements of vitality flow around this force. Once there is even a slight vibration, the mutually exclusive five elements of vitality will instantly burst out with unimaginable destructive power.
Soon, Sima Bao also rushed over anxiously. Unfortunately, like his master, he could only watch the disaster happen.
Sima Ming glanced at the two people outside, and smiled cruelly. His Heavenly Death Qi was about to be completed, and it would definitely not be a problem to destroy the remaining marks left by the divine beasts according to the plan.
But at this moment, a beam of red light that no one expected fell from the sky, penetrated the grotto, and struck the translucent Suzaku barrier.
"Hulong."
The entire grotto shook suddenly, and the sacred and strong Suzaku barrier collapsed in an instant.
Before Sima San Lao had time to be frightened, on the high and dark cave roof, black shadows filled the sky like Mount Tai, pressing down on the cave, and a terrifying pulling force like the sea suddenly appeared.
Still trying his best to maintain the aura of death, Sima Ming was caught off guard and his feet immediately lifted off the ground, and he was sucked into the huge black shadow with his breath.
"call!"
The oppressive black shadow slowly disappeared, and Bai Yunsheng calmly fell down and stood ten feet away from the fire branch.
Without the barrier set by Suzaku, the red light of the fire branch was obviously much more dazzling.
Bai Yunsheng could clearly feel through the Sky Fire Pearl in his body that the fire source energy swimming in the branches suddenly became more than ten times more active, forming a stream of red air visible to the naked eye, rising towards the top of the grotto.
In fact, after Bai Yunsheng determined the location of the branch, he had already entered the secret place with the help of the Heaven and Earth Pearl. Although he was sure of entering the Suzaku Barrier, in order to catch Sima Ming by surprise, he had to resort to this strategy, hoping to trick Sima Ming.
Publish some information about Yanyu Tower.
After all, this barrier can't last long anyway.
At this moment, Sima Duan's eyes were half gray.
Once the Suzaku seal is broken, the fire branch will soon be dead. The entire Lihuo continent will soon fall into chaos.
"Bai Yunsheng, are you crazy! The consequences of destroying the seal of the divine beast will be disastrous!"
Sima Bao has not yet entered the Sun and Moon Pavilion, so he doesn't know much about Bai Yunsheng's identity.
His words were directly met with a cold response from Bai Yunsheng:
"Can you stop him?"
One sentence drove Sima Bao away from his anger.
Bai Yunsheng was right. Sima Ming's move had just been completed, and since they were within the seal, they couldn't stop it at all.
"snort."
Bai Yunsheng sneered nonchalantly, stared at Huo Zhimai seriously, and stopped talking to the two seniors of the Sima family.
Sima Duan reluctantly ordered: "What he said is right. You should return to the sect first to take charge of the overall situation. No one is allowed to leave Shifa Mountain without my permission."
Sima Bao did not dare to disobey the order, so he bowed and resigned.
