Chapter 118

In Feng Changqing's residence, Li Jinglong fed him the medicine prepared by Hongjun. Feng Changqing tried his best to push Li Jinglong away and said, "Go … go save His Majesty."

Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "I've already made preparations. This time, we'll succeed, but please don't worry."

Feng Changqing heaved a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. Li Jinglong hurried out and was about to rush to the Great Mercy Temple when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle from the north.

Looking up, he saw dark clouds rolling in from the north, passing by Xing Qing Palace and heading straight for the Black Tortoise Gate. It was as if the clouds were rolling up the ground and rushing towards the Black Tortoise Gate. Within the clouds, thousands of soldiers and horses appeared, roaring as if they were chasing after someone.

The whistle was long and short, and all the members of the Exorcism Division in the city heard it.

Li Jinglong looked up.

Qiu Yongsi immediately left the crowd and left. Hongjun, Li Bai and Li Guinian were drinking iced sour plum soup on the side of the street. When they heard the whistle, they stopped eating and said, "I'll go first!" They immediately rushed out of the alley and mounted their horses.

Chang 'an's alleys were empty. Hongjun pushed his horse to the highest speed and rushed out of Vermilion Bird Avenue to meet up with Qiu Yongsi. Qiu Yongsi shouted, "They've got it!"

Hongjun shouted, "Where's the Chief Scribe?!"

"I don't know!" Qiu Yongsi said, "Follow the plan!"

Mo Rigen leaned against Lu Xu and heaved a long sigh. The two were silent for a moment, both trembling. They heard a sharp whistle in the distance.

"It's time to work." Lu Xu said seriously.

Mo Rigen pulled Lu Xu out of the bathtub. Mo Rigen put away the unlined clothes and long robes on the side rack. Not caring whose clothes they belonged to, he shook them open and let Lu Xu put them on.

The two of them were dressed in white shirts and pants, with black silk robes draped over them. Lu Xu whistled to summon the horses, but Mo Rigen bent over and transformed into a Grey Wolf. The color of his fur seemed to have changed. His original grey-blue fur had turned black, but now it had turned into a mix of blue and white. The wolf's body was now grey-blue, and there was even a circle of white fur below his neck.

"It's changed." Lu Xu was a little surprised.

"Does it look good?" Grey Wolf tilted his head and whispered.

Lu Xu flipped over and straddled the Grey Wolf's back, saying, "Your fur is thicker."

"It's too hot in this weather." Grey Wolf was so hot that he wanted to stick out his tongue, but he resisted. After all, this action was too dog-like.

"Hold on tight."

Immediately, the Grey Wolf leaped forward and rushed north along the long street, chasing after the black cloud.

Ashina Chong and Atay urged their horses to gallop. The black cloud behind them was less than a hundred steps away from them, and they had already rushed out of the city. Ashina Chong blew his short whistle with all his might, shouting, "Is this useful?"

"My ears are going deaf because of you!" Atay turned around and shouted back.

Ashina Chong said, "Why do I feel like it's a little dangerous?"

Atay shouted, "You've already taken it! Why are you still talking about this now? "

"Let's see if the ring can be used." Ashina Chong said.

Atay tossed the ring to Ashina Chong. The ring couldn't be put on, it was almost the size of a bracelet. Ashina Chong looked at it and said, "This is God's Fire? How do I summon it? "

"I don't know!" Atay said, "Don't worry about it! We're almost there! "

The black cloud was moving faster and faster. The two still had to ride on the main road, but the demon aura ignored the restrictions of the terrain. After a few turns, Atay was getting closer and closer.

"It has a tail!" Ashina Chong shouted.

The two heaved a sigh of relief. The demon aura had been boundless ever since it came out of Xingqing Palace. Now that they found out that it had an end, it meant that it was no longer as strong as before. This made them feel much more relaxed. Even so, the black cloud An Lushan had turned into was almost as wide as a piece of land. Within it, there were rolling clouds and flashes of lightning.

This was the first time they saw the form of a "demon". In comparison, the demon aura in Dunhuang paled in comparison.

"Oh no!" Ashina Chong shouted, "It's going to surround us!"

"Go up the mountain —!" Atay shouted.

The two used all their strength and urged their horses to gallop up the mountain.

"We're here! Quick, quick, quick! "

"Where's Yongsi's magic array?!"

"I can't tell! Lie down! There's no time! "

"How long?! What if it doesn't come?! "

"Lie down until it comes!"

"You don't have to use a magic weapon!" Ashina Chong said, "Also, what's a magic weapon? I've never seen one before! "

"Do as you see fit! Anyway, you're a hero today! No matter what, you have to bear with it! " Atay said anxiously. He told Ashina Chong to lie down and kicked him again. Then, he ran to the courtyard and fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Hongjun rushed over from the city and saw a person standing on Vermilion Bird Main Street.

"Jinglong!" Hongjun shouted.

Li Jinglong stepped back slightly, Hong Jun stretched out his hand on the galloping horse. The moment they passed each other, the two of them held each other's hands. Li Jinglong somersaulted and landed on Hong Jun's back.

"Jia —!" Li Jinglong took the reins and rushed away with Hongjun.

Li Jinglong returned to the team and shouted to Qiu Yongsi, "Where are the others?"

"Zhao Zilong is still at the Great Mercy Temple. I don't know the rest!" Qiu Yongsi answered and galloped towards the northern city gate. He saw that the city gate was wide open and a few city guards had been infected by the Devil Qi. Their faces were pitch-black as they collapsed at the side of the city gate. The two riders rushed out of the city gate like arrows leaving the bowstring.

"Lu Xu …"

"I heard their whistle!" Li Jinglong said, "It's over!"

The Black Qi was faintly visible. It was rolling wildly in the direction of the Great Ming Palace, chasing after Atay and Ashina Chong. Li Jinglong and the others were chasing after the rolling Black Qi. Hongjun was still looking around, trying to guess where Mo Rigen and Lu Xu were. When he turned his head, the side of his face was close to Li Jinglong's and he could feel his breath.

Li Jinglong kissed him on the cheek.

At that moment, even though the final battle was coming, Hongjun's heart was like a blooming flower.

"Are you afraid?" Li Jinglong said in a low voice. He freed his hand and held Hongjun's hand. It was just like that day when they returned from Mount Li and killed their way into the Imperial City controlled by the Fox Demon.

Hongjun's fingers were interlocked with his. He suddenly felt unreal. There were only six people in the Exorcism Division, but under Li Jinglong's step-by-step plan, they were approaching an unreachable end.

"Kun Shen said …"

Hongjun thought of Kun Shen, who had left, and Qing Xiong, who had gone to gather the demons to deal with Tianma and Xie Yu, as well as Chong Ming, who was far away in the Dazzling Gold Palace.

None of them had come. Perhaps today was not the end. Hongjun had a strong premonition. He always felt that whether it was Tianma or Xie Yu, at this moment, perhaps everything had not been resolved yet. However, the confidence that Li Jinglong gave him became the weight on the other side of the scales of fate, vaguely giving him hope.

"No matter what he says," Li Jinglong said seriously, "the future is still in our hands. Giddyup!"

The whistle sounded and a giant wolf flew out from the wheat field. Lu Xu was riding on the wolf's back!

The three of them cheered at the same time. Hongjun shouted, "Mo Rigen! You're back! "

The Grey Wolf's throat first brewed in a low voice, then it let out a howl unique to wolves. Lu Xu shouted, "Where are they?"

"In front!" Li Jinglong said, "Don't chase too closely! Leave some time! This speed is good enough! "

Lu Xu and Mo Rigen returned to the team.

All the members of the Exorcism Division had finally arrived.

Tianbao Year 13, April 25th.

Case: Exorcism

Difficulty: Heaven

Region: Daming Palace

Cases: An Lushan (Tianma), Yang Guozhong (Xie Yu)

Case: April 25th, Yang Guifei's birthday. An Lushan's four generals, "Wine, Sex, Wealth, Qi", were all killed. Tianma appeared in the world and was led to the Daming Palace. They wanted to destroy Tianma in one fell swoop, purify her, and … complete another hidden mission.

Reward: A thousand years of peace in the world.

Daming Palace, dusk. The sun was setting in the west.

The black clouds quickly retreated towards the mountain top. With a loud noise, An Lushan's fat figure appeared in the middle of the courtyard. However, at this moment, his whole body was burning and blooming with black flames. His eyes shot out blood-red light, and he looked like a ferocious giant.

Wherever the demon energy went, the surrounding flowers and trees all withered. The aura of death was everywhere, enveloping the entire Daming Palace.

"You're courting death!" An Lushan's voice was almost a roar.

The Daming Palace was incomparably quiet. Two people were lying in the middle of the courtyard. Ashina Chong's body was scorched black by the flames and was lying motionless. Atay's throat was pierced by a flying knife. He covered his neck with one hand and clenched his fist tightly with the other.

When An Lushan saw this situation, he knew that the two people were killing each other for the ring. He laughed and said, "If Dilma comes back from the dead today and sees this scene, she'll probably die of anger!"

Atay couldn't stop twitching. Blood kept oozing out of his neck, and his eyes were full of fear. An Lushan waved his hand casually, and Atay was swept up by the demon energy and slammed into a corner. He trembled for a while and let go of his hand.

In his hand, the old dark gold ring rolled along the ground to An Lushan's feet.

The demon energy rose up with the ring and landed in An Lushan's hand. At this moment, a thumb had grown out of his left hand again, but this time, he wore the ring on his right thumb.

"How about I fuse your souls together?" An Lushan raised his hand. Just as the black gas was about to shoot out and attack the two people, the ring on his right hand suddenly emitted a strong white light. It was so bright that An Lushan couldn't open his eyes.

An Lushan said, "This … This is … No, no!"

An Lushan screamed in horror and grabbed the ring on his right hand to take it off. However, when he touched it with his fingers, the ring immediately became extremely hot. White flames shot out from the ring and surrounded An Lushan's body, spinning and trapping him.

"You … you …" An Lushan suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap. He gasped and said, "Who else?! Who else is here?! "

Atay took off the throwing knife with a blood bag on his neck. With his face covered in blood, he casually flipped his hair and stood up. He turned on the fan and took out four large elemental rings and put them on.

"I'm sorry," Atay said. "Who's Dilma? I've never heard of her. I'm the Sassanid Emperor Tegra. "

An Lushan turned around and stared at Atay in shock.

"Prince Mo Rigen Akhun of Shiwei." Mo Rigen's voice rang out. A black-robed hunter carrying a quiver of arrows walked in from outside the hall.

"You … you …" An Lushan pointed at Mo Rigen and roared, "How did you get out of here?!"

"Because of me." Lu Xu's voice rang out as he walked in from the southwest corner of the atrium. At this moment, his appearance had undergone a strange transformation. A new horn that was about two inches long grew out of his head. His black robe fluttered in the wind, revealing a snow-white unlined garment. His two horns shone faintly.

"I've sealed a dream memory in his heart." Lu Xu said, "Then I sent him to you. I peeked into his dream and took the opportunity to know your every move."

An Lushan's eyes were filled with shock.

"Why do I feel like the situation has completely reversed today?" Qiu Yongsi's voice said with a smile. He held a folding fan in his hand and waved it casually as he walked into the atrium from the northwest corner. He said, "Shouldn't it be the opponent who explains the layout to us?"

An Lushan turned to look at Qiu Yongsi. Qiu Yongsi closed his folding fan and said seriously, "The seventeenth Dragon Subduing Immortal, Qiu Yongsi. Please enlighten me."

"That's because Elder Shi and Brother Gen's layout is too good." Hongjun's voice rang out.

Hongjun walked into the atrium from the northeast corner and faced An Lushan.

"I recognize you …" An Lushan roared, "It's you! It's you! "

Hongjun said, "It's me. I was supposed to be this generation's Tianma."

"Speaking of which, we still have to thank you." Li Jinglong's voice was the last to ring out. He walked into the atrium and stood facing An Lushan. He explained, "But today's target, to be honest, isn't you. Anyway, Chief Exorcist, Marquis Yadan, Li Jinglong. This is the first time we've met. Please enlighten me. "

"Li Jinglong!" An Lushan mocked, "Be careful of your own cleverness!"

An Lushan had heard of Li Jinglong's name long before he arrived in Chang 'an. At that time, he had scoffed at the abilities of this young man in his twenties and his group of exorcists. His only enemy was Yang Guozhong, and in his eyes, the only threat was Yang Guozhong.

It was because of his carelessness that he had failed miserably. Four of his subordinates had been killed, and even he had fallen into a trap!

"Wait!" An Lushan roared angrily, "I'll make a deal with you!"

Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "I've already arranged it, Lord An Lushan."

An Lushan's eyes suddenly widened. Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, our time is limited, and I don't have the habit of explaining too much to my enemies. After all, most of my enemies eventually die …"

An Lushan said, "Wait, wait! Wait —! "

Li Jinglong held the sword in his right hand and stretched out his left hand. An Lushan's thumb ring was a magic weapon custom-made by Qiu Yongsi, and Li Jinglong had injected a large amount of the power of the Mind Lamp into it. At this moment, the light suddenly exploded, and under Li Jinglong's control, it tightly bound An Lushan!

An Lushan let out a painful and resentful howl. The black gas around his body exploded, and he roared angrily, "Li Jinglong! Let me go! You won't regret —! "

Everyone looked nervously at An Lushan, and Li Jinglong was even more focused. Hongjun, Atay, Qiu Yongsi, and the others all held onto their magic weapons. They knew that this was just to force the black gas out of An Lushan's body. The real decisive blow had yet to come.

Until now, Hong Jun still had a strong sense of unreality. Was it over? Will I be able to free myself from my fate today?!

The five-colored divine light rippled in his hand. With Li Jinglong's full strength, the fire of the Mind Lamp continuously burned An Lushan's body. An Lushan suddenly roared and released his magic weapon. The necklace around his neck turned into a metal dragon, and with lightning, it began to attack Li Jinglong!

Hongjun was already prepared. He immediately took action and blocked the attack for Li Jinglong. Following that, An Lushan's rings and accessories all turned into ferocious beasts. They rushed around and tore at everything around them. Qiu Yongsi and Mo Rigen took turns to rush forward. Needle-Head Arrows flew everywhere, protecting Li Jinglong.

"You're … impossible!" An Lushan's voice had already become low, hoarse, and terrifying. His eyes looked at Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong was about to lose control. An Lushan's power was harder to suppress than he imagined. He roared angrily, "Give me mana!"

At this time, the courtyard had already turned into a battlefield for countless dark monsters. It had turned into a bloody hell. Li Jinglong's body was surrounded by thorns. The entire mountain where the Daming Palace was located was filled with cold wind. It was like purgatory on earth!
