Today, he wanted to follow his heart.

He was very curious about the wonderful expression on Kong Xuan Sanren's face when he found out that the promotion ceremony he had been preparing for for many years was destroyed.

So, he walked straight to the black altar and stood among the clones of Kong Xuan Sanren, with the corners of his mouth raised.

Different from his usual gentle and restrained smile.

At this time, he was smiling broadly and unbridled.

He gently waved the "Jinghong Pen" in his hand.

The leaves in the mountain forest fell from the still branches one after another, and then floated in the air, lighting up with orange flames.

From a distance, it looks like countless fireflies flying in the forest.

The Seven Forms of Burning Heaven, Firefly Flame.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Following Gu Xu's thoughts, these "fireflies" rushed towards the black altar in front of them with an unstoppable attitude.

The dark and gloomy light on the altar went out.

Instead, there was a blazing fire, lighting up the entire dark mountain forest.

…………

Sixty-eight breaths have passed.

The fire on the altar gradually extinguished.

At this time, this carefully decorated altar had turned into a miserable ruin.

Gu Xu's true energy was almost burned out, and he only felt exhausted.

But his mood was unprecedentedly cheerful.

In the last few seconds of "time", he dragged his exhausted body to Shi Xiaohan's side, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.

At this time, Shi Xiaohan was undoubtedly still.

The heartbeat stopped, the breathing stopped, the eyes were closed tightly, and he was unconscious.

Gu Xu sat quietly next to her, looking at her pretty oval face, fluffy sideburns hanging from her ears, and long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her face.

Involuntarily, he began to count her eyelashes.

One stick, two sticks, three sticks...

He suddenly felt that it would be great if the "time" could last longer.

…………

Seventy breaths have passed.

The power of "time" disappeared.

Time continues to flow.

The howling wind sounded again, and the sharp cry of the Nine Infant Snake Demon came from afar again. Gu Xu saw Shi Xiaohan's eyelashes trembling slightly in the wind, and also saw the hunchback old man's left foot finally landing on the ground.

.

It's just that the clones of Kong Xuan Sanren standing in front of the altar did not continue to recite the incantation.

They looked at the altar that had been torn to pieces by the fire. Their expressions were first blank, then shocked, and then all turned into anger.

The expressions of the nine clones are completely synchronized.

To outsiders, this may seem like a strange and terrifying scene.

But at this moment, seeing such a scene, Gu Xu just wanted to laugh loudly.

"Gu Xu——"

The nine clones shouted the name of the culprit in unison.

Although Kong Xuan Sanren has lived in two forms, human and ghost, for hundreds of years, he has long since become intangible with emotion and anger.

However, when he saw that his many years of hard work were ruined, he still inevitably felt angry.

Gu Xu sat on the ground. Although his true energy was exhausted and he had no strength to resist, he was not panicked at all.

"Now, it's my turn," he said with a smile, "the saints are coming soon. Kong Xuan, why don't you run away quickly?"

Kongxuan Sanren took a serious look at him.

At this time, in his field of vision, he saw several very clear lines of cause and effect suddenly appearing on Gu Xu's body.

One of them is connected to Luochuan, the head of the Exorcism Department.

One is connected to the Great Qi Imperial Master.

There is another one connected to Yan Guogong Zhao Changying.

In addition, there is a slightly lighter line connecting the Emperor Tianxing of the Qi Dynasty.

And these lines of cause and effect, through Gu Xu, are connected to Kong Xuan Sanren himself.

There is no doubt that the emperors and saints of the Da Qi Dynasty have discovered the existence of Kongxuan Sanren.

Kongxuan Sanren didn't bother to deal with Gu Xu.

The nine clones turned into a line of black smoke without hesitation and disappeared in place.

Because he knew very well that as long as he took a step slower, the saint would catch his traces.

Today, he has spent too much energy on promotion rituals and spells to shield the secrets of heaven.

If he bumped into any of the saints from the Da Qi Dynasty at this time, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Saving one's life is the most important thing.

Ever since he turned into a ghost using the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", he has been living in hiding in this world for decades, and he doesn't mind hiding for a few more years.

Moreover, the Avenue of Cause and Effect told him that if he took action against Gu Xu at this time, he would definitely pay a heavy price.

So, at the moment when he disappeared, he took one last glance at Gu Xu, who was lying on the ground, and kept the hateful face of this kid firmly in his heart.

At the same time, Gu Xu's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, and then he fainted completely.

…………

A second later, three figures appeared in the woods.

One is wearing a crane cloak and has a noble temperament.

One is short in stature and has an ordinary appearance.

There was another one wearing armor and holding a spear, looking majestic.

They were the three saints of the Da Qi Dynasty - Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Department, the Imperial Master of Da Qi, and Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan.

They looked at the ruined black altar, and then at Gu Xu who fainted on the ground.

"I'm going to deal with the Nine Infant Snake Demon," Grand Master Daqi said first. "It was my dereliction of duty to let this thing escape from the ground."

"I'm going to try to chase the third fierce god," Yan Guogong also said, "I never expected that the all-powerful Kongxuan Sanren back then would turn into a ghost and do so many things without telling us."

"Then I will be responsible for rescuing the wounded!" Luo Chuan smiled slightly.

After assigning the tasks, the figures of the Imperial Master and Duke Yan disappeared instantly.

Only Luochuan was left in the forest.

He sighed softly and walked straight towards the unconscious Gu Xu, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

…………

In astrology, there are three combinations of purple stars and surrounding stars:

First, hundreds of officials bow toward each other: when entering the temple, the six auspicious stars and horses meet;

Second, the lonely king in the wild: there is no six auspicious Lu Ma meeting (six auspicious refers to Zuofu, Youbi, Tiankui, Tianyue, Wenchang, Wenqu; Lu Ma refers to Lucun, Tianma);

Third, the unruly king: kill four at the same time.

Luochuan masters the art of heavenly secrets, so he naturally pays attention to the stars in the sky at all times.

Not long ago, Ziweixing stood alone in the sky.

But at this moment, the Six Lucky Stars located in different directions in the sky seemed to be affected by an invisible gravitational force and were rapidly approaching the Ziwei Star.
