The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1225 - 642: Seven Star Dragon Lock, Breaking the Formation to Enter the Palace

Boom!

Another ghost ship disintegrated amidst the flames.

These sinister things, buried in the riverbed mud for years, were already saturated and coated with sludge.

Under normal circumstances, they shouldn't catch fire on the water's surface.

However, the Heluo Chamber of Commerce used peach wood arrows.

This item inherently counteracts evil, and with the accumulation of fire arrows, the yin energy exploded, causing all the soul-collecting ships to burn intensely.

Not a single one reached the shore; they all sank in the Yi River.

The members of the Heluo Chamber of Commerce were initially cautious, but none were injured, which greatly boosted their confidence.

"Good!"

"Burn it to hell!"

Cheers continuously echoed along the shore.

Only Yue San'er looked gloomy, turning his head toward Luoyang with a hint of unease in his heart.

Mang Mountain had none, and the Dragon Gate Grottoes were absent.

Could it be that the Ghost Emperor Wang Xuanmo went to Luoyang...

......

In Luoyang City, Yin Jiuge had also discovered something.

Holding a compass, he led Li Yan and the others, turning left and right, and after reaching the city wall, he finally looked up at the sky and said, "I understand, this is the Seven Star Dragon Lock!"

Before Li Yan could ask more, he took out the Luoyang map and explained:

"The Fengshui techniques during the Qin Dynasty differ from those now. They were based on Zou Yan's 'Five Virtues,' with fengshui layout relying on 'Qingwu Skill' and 'Astrology,' structured according to celestial phenomena, such as when expanding Xianyang, emphasizing 'Wei River flowing through the capital, resembling the Heavenly River, and Crossing Bridge South, resembling the method of leading the ox'."

"What we saw in the Fake Yin Bureau was the Twenty-Eight Stars; Luoyang's layout must correspond to astrology!"

While speaking, he drew connections between Mang Mountain's Shangqing Palace, the Lushena Buddha, and the City God Temple on the map.

"It's the Big Dipper!"

Li Yan immediately noticed the peculiarity.

"Correct."

Yin Jiuge responded and drew circles around the remaining ones based on the distance.

"This is the 'Seven Star Dragon Lock,' with Merak corresponding to Shangqing Palace, Phecda corresponding to Lushena Buddha, Megrez corresponding to the City God Temple, leaving Yu Heng, Kaiyang, Megrez, and Shaking Light. Now with disturbances at the Qin Palace Fake Yin Bureau, other nodes will also be abnormal!"

"Let's go!"

Without any hesitation, everyone immediately ran to the nearest target.

When they arrived, the place had already turned into a sea of fire.

Only to see the massive granary doors wide open, corpses scattered everywhere, flames licking the wooden beams and corpses, emitting a pungent burnt smell, and many people fighting each other.

"The Luoyang grain warehouse?"

Li Yan furrowed his brow, slightly surprised.

"Golden Eye Feng," panting heavily, caught up, and with a flash of insight in his mind, spoke: "Young Hero Li, you may not know, but this Luoyang grain warehouse is not simple; it used to be the Divine Capital Hanjia Warehouse, a central place during the Great Tang, destroyed and rebuilt several times due to warfare, yet still in use today."

"I see."

Li Yan nodded, and quickly performed a mantra with his left hand, stepping Gangly and chanting the spell: "Qing Jia! Heavenly ascension, strict control over Beifeng, Divine Lord commands, sweeping away misfortune, Eight Might Vomiting Poison, Fierce Horses in Four Directions... Command!"

Clatter~

The Arm Guard "Thousand Thoughts" rang with the sound of Demon Suppression Coins.

He utilized a spell, the long-unused "North Emperor Exorcism Technique."

This technique can both defend and repel beasts.

Although the "Divine Tiger Token" was already given to Wang Daoxuan, with the support of Arm Guard "Thousand Thoughts," it still unleashed terrifying power.

Whoosh~

In an instant, fierce winds arose around.

An ominously chilling qi energy burst forth from Li Yan.

The people fighting nearby, initially bewitched by spells, suddenly awoke, and sensing Li Yan's qi, they felt fear as if seeing a wild beast, quickly scattering away.

Whee!

Just then, someone secretly shot a crossbow bolt.

It was those cultists causing chaos in the city.

Swish!

As the arrows attacked, Wu Ba leaped forward.

He charged mud-stepping forward, casually catching the airborne crossbow arrow, then forcefully threw it.

The crossbow bolt returned at an even faster speed, piercing through a person's head directly.

Before they could react, Wu Ba's massive body appeared in front of them.

A left punch, a right pound, thudding sounds accompanied by the constant sound of bone cracking.

Many of these cultists were practitioners, but facing the ferocious Wu Ba, they had no power to resist.

Among them might be Wang Xuanmo's subordinates, but Li Yan had no time to bother with them, turning to Yin Jiuge and asked solemnly, "Senior, how should we handle this place?"

Yin Jiuge furrowed his brows, "With the granary destroyed, finding the underground palace will be difficult."

Beside him, "Golden Eye Feng" quickly interjected, "I might know."

"A few years ago, someone found ancient tunnels near Hanjia Warehouse, with remnants of Tang Dynasty granaries and brick inscriptions. That person had me authenticate it and informed me of the location."

"Thank you, senior!"

Li Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

They had many people, yet faced with such a complex situation, they were still stretched thin.

Sha Lifei and Wang Daoxuan had gone to Shaolin for aid, yet had not returned.

Zhao Lvzi and his wife were still wounded, others had their own tasks.

Golden Eye Feng was not skilled in martial arts, initially a burden, yet his persistence paid off, proving indispensable as a local expert.

Soon, "Golden Eye Feng" led them to the furthest granary.

This one was also destroyed, the roof beams already collapsed.

"It's here!"

"Golden Eye Feng" found a well and pointed downward.

The well was long dried up, filled with dried branches and dust.

"I'll do it!"

Lv San stepped forward, holding a large rat and chanting a spell.

Squeak squeak~

Soon, numerous rats came from all directions, flooding into the well, digging and burrowing.

In less than half an incense stick's time, a roar echoed from inside, dust billowing up.

It was the rat swarm that directly opened up the sealed passage.

Everyone ignored the dust, jumping into it one after another.
