Peerless Taoist

A murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire main hall.    

Bai Suqing was startled and immediately asked, "The Heroic Spirit is guarding the Human Emperor Temple. How dare those evil spirits approach?"    

"The Heroic Spirit has existed for ten thousand years, and it is already extremely weak. It could be extinguished at any time. Those evil spirits naturally took a fancy to this point, so they chose to attack."    

He Xiang said, "The city is going to organize forces to protect the Human Emperor Temple. If the Human Emperor Temple is destroyed, all the evil spirits in the Ghost Domain will retaliate. At that time, everyone will be in danger."    

Anxiety immediately flashed across Bai Suqing's heart. She quickly asked, "If that's the case, will the people in the Ghost Domain be in danger?"    

"Of course. Without the restrictions of the formation, those powerful evil spirits that have been suppressed for many years will come out. At this time, the deeper into the Ghost Domain, the more dangerous it is. Fortunately, we are at the edge of the region, so we still have time to prepare."    

He Xiang said, "Miss Bai, you are Madam's distinguished guest. You should go to the back mountain with other women. There is a shelter there that is built, so it is safer."    

Bai Suqing frowned, and an intense uneasiness filled her heart. When she heard that Lu Yu might be in danger, she immediately panicked and did not know what to do.    

"Miss Bai, let's go now." He Xiang persuaded.    

"No..." Bai Suqing's breathing became a little hurried. She suddenly looked at He Xiang and said firmly, "I'll go and help you protect the Human Emperor Temple."    

"Miss Bai, you..."    

"I have the strength to protect myself. You all need me," Bai Suqing said in a deep voice.    

As soon as she finished speaking, a piercing aura burst out from Bai Suqing's body.    

Above the void, white light suddenly rose up, like a white tiger's shadow standing proudly in the void, emitting a tyrannical aura.    

He Xiang was slightly stunned. She felt an unprecedented strong aura from Bai Suqing.    

"Alright! Then I'll have to trouble Miss!" He Xiang said.    

Bai Suqing could no longer listen to the words of others. Her mind was completely focused on Lu Yu. An invisible sense of anxiety instantly surged into her heart, causing her heart to beat violently.    

A troop of over three hundred people immediately set off, and the white horses galloped towards the direction of the Human Emperor Temple. Because the Yi Emperor Temple was in a restricted area, no one could fly, so they could only ride the carriages and quickly move forward.    

Bai Suqing sat in the swaying chariot, her heart already in a mess. No matter what the people around her said, she felt as if she was in a trance.    

"Miss Bai? Miss Bai?"    

Suddenly, a person's voice gradually became louder. It turned out that it was a black-armored general riding a horse near Bai Suqing's chariot.    

"I apologize for being distracted just now." Bai Suqing said apologetically.    

This black-armored general was the military officer of this army. Just now, he had been giving a lecture to everyone, warning them about the battle with the evil ghosts. This kind of thing was extremely important, and if they missed it, it was very likely that they would lose their lives.    

"It's fine. With the help of such an expert like Miss Bai, we can't ask for more."    

The general cupped his hands and smiled, "Many of the combat strength in Meng Mountain City is used to defend the city. The number of troops that can be mobilized is not too many. Miss, you are Madam's guest, and being able to help us is already a great favor."    

Bai Suqing asked, "Is our trip here to defend against the evil ghosts?"    

The general shook his head, "To defend against the evil ghosts, it's impossible for us to do so with just this few people. The Human Emperor Temple has the protection of Emperor Yi's spirit, so as long as we protect the Holy Flame of the Human Emperor and don't let it extinguish, it's fine."    

"So that's how it is." Bai Suqing suddenly realized.    

She suddenly recalled that when she and Lu Yu were trapped in the Human Emperor Temple, it was because she had lit the candles that they were able to summon the spirit of Emperor Yi.    

From the looks of it, that Holy Flame was the key to the existence of Emperor Yi's spirit.    

"As long as we can defend this day, we just need to wait for the City Lord to return." The general muttered to himself.    

"May I ask, your City Lord …"    

Just as Bai Suqing was about to ask, a strange change suddenly occurred!    

From the originally calm yellow sand, countless black evil spirits suddenly rushed out and pounced towards the army.    

"Not good! Enemy attack!"    

"Quick, prepare to fight!"    

The army that was originally advancing into the desert immediately fell into chaos as many soldiers began to fight with the evil spirits.    

"These bastards, they came here to ambush us!" The general was furious as he waved his sword and rushed forward.    

In an instant, the surroundings fell into a chaotic battle.    

Bai Suqing took out a bronze sword and was about to use a spell, but her heart suddenly sank. The magic power that she originally possessed was once again sealed.    

"We've entered the forbidden land!" Bai Suqing was shocked.    

Unable to use a spell, the evil spirits in the surroundings pounced over one after another, as if they had been waiting here for a long time.    

"Even if I don't have a spell, I am not a person who can't even truss a chicken!" Bai Suqing bit her red lips as a hint of determination flashed across her eyes. She held her sword and prepared to fight.    

In the White Tiger Inheritance, there were not only spells, but also the explanations of many martial skills. Bai Suqing was also a genius, and had once cultivated many martial skills.    

"Kill!"    

Bai Suqing raised her hand and slashed out with her sword. The sword light was piercingly cold as it swept across the surroundings.    

In an instant, a few evil spirits had their heads pierced, and their bodies emitted strands of green smoke that drifted into the air.    

At this moment, Bai Suqing, who was holding the long sword, was like a white tiger that had been released from its cage, slaughtering everything in its path. Sword Qi danced about, Luo Qun floated in the air, and numerous sword lights swept past, immediately killing one evil ghost after another.    

However, suddenly, a terrifying hurricane erupted.    

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"    

In the desert, a violent sandstorm erupted, causing sand to fill the sky and blot out the sun.    

Bai Suqing struggled to identify the direction in the sandstorm, but under the restriction of the forbidden technique, all of her Spiritual Sense was sealed, and even her ability to identify the direction was incomparably difficult.    

The strong wind blew into the battlefield, immediately separating Bai Suqing and the battlefield. Beside Bai Suqing, there was no longer a single evil ghost.    

Bai Suqing staggered as she walked. She stabbed the bronze long sword into a rock to stabilize her body. This gale lasted for an entire hour before it gradually weakened.    

It was only at this moment that Bai Suqing slowly opened her eyes and looked around. A look of confusion flashed across her eyes.    

The yellow sand on the ground was already nowhere to be seen, and even the evil ghosts no longer existed. The ground was even covered in yellow sand, and there were no signs of any other living creatures.    

"Is there anyone else?" Bai Suqing shouted, but in the empty desert, there was no one who responded to her.    

An unprecedented sense of panic filled Bai Suqing's mind. She suddenly realized that she was so helpless without Lu Yu by her side.    

In the distant sky, a golden light faintly appeared, as if a flame had cut through the darkness.    

Bai Suqing recognized it. It was the direction of the temple of Emperor Yi.
