Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 255 It's time for the Great Luo Palace to recruit new members again.
The twelve yellow talismans instantly turned to ashes, and then water vapor condensed between heaven and earth.

Because it was located at the bottom of the Azure Pool, and there was also the Azure Palace restriction that had already been formed, the water vapor condensed at an unparalleled speed. Moreover, during the condensation process, the color of the water vapor became darker and darker. At the same time, a kind of divine pressure also emanated from the water vapor and pressed down on Lan Ming's body.

The next moment, the water vapor condensed and took shape, and a black Xuanwu Dharma image with a dragon's head, a tortoise's body, and a snake's tail was formed, hovering above Lan Ming's head, staring intently at her.

Before the Dharma Image could even attack, Lan Ming felt a wave of dizziness. Even she, who specialized in spiritual power, could not withstand the majesty of the god. "Xuanwu? How can you condense the Xuanwu Dharma Image?"

Gu Zhao's eyes flickered, but he didn't reply. With a flick of his hand, the Xuanwu Dharma Image swallowed Lan Ming.

Lan Ming cried out in surprise, and two large seashells appeared behind her, protecting her inside. The Xuanwu Dharma Image swallowed her without actually swallowing her.

"break!"

Lan Ming shouted crisply, and then the large seashell, mixed in with the water, crashed through the Xuanwu Dharma Image and struck the water wall of the Biyue Palace.

But suddenly, lightning flashed within the water wall, and bolts of water lightning struck out, all hitting the large seashell.

"Crack!"

Gu Zhao's cultivation was now profound, and the power of his Water Thunder Spell was becoming increasingly stronger. However, Lan Ming's shell was not very hard, and it was directly cracked by dozens of lightning bolts.

The Xuanwu Dharma Image stepped forward again and shook the cracked shell, causing it to shatter instantly.

At the same time, a beam of blue light shot out from the broken seashell, striking Gu Zhao's face with lightning speed.

But before the blue light could get close, a golden light appeared around Gu Zhao, blocking the blue light. At this moment, Gu Zhao looked closely and saw a soft-bodied animal the size of an arm wrapped in the blue light.

This is Lan Ming's true form!

The human and the demon exchanged a glance, and an invisible spiritual fluctuation emanated from Lan Ming, but it was blocked as soon as it approached the golden light.

"What is this?" Lan Ming exclaimed in surprise, and rolled away again.

But Gu Zhao had already completed the final step of the lightning spell in his hand. He reached out and guided it towards her, and dozens of bolts of lightning surged out of the water again, illuminating the main hall of the Azure Water Palace with their purple-gold light.

"Ah!" Lan Ming screamed in agony as she finally plummeted from the sky.

The Xuanwu Dharma Image, which had not yet dissipated, stepped forward and swallowed Lan Ming whole. The black evil energy within its body surged, completely eroding Lan Ming's protective demonic energy. Finally, it rushed into her body, dispersing her demonic power and obliterating her soul.

The Five Thunder Token shook violently, and large gusts of malevolent energy surged in.

This intense aura of menace contrasted sharply with her sweet and charming appearance.

Gu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief; he was finally dead.

Just now, when Lan Ming entered the main hall of the Biyue Palace, the Five Thunder Token in Gu Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness jumped around excitedly, indicating that a big bad guy had appeared, carrying so much evil energy that one meal of him could keep him full for three days.

Gu Zhao had considered inviting a few old Taoist priests to share, but things developed too quickly. He hadn't expected that the other party was after the Daluo Palace, so he had no choice but to accept it.

The baleful aura boosted his cultivation, condensing lightning seeds. Combined with the progress bar that had been filled to more than halfway, killing just one demon actually condensed two lightning seeds!
"It's a pity she doesn't know where the other old ghosts are." Gu Zhao shook his head with some regret, then smiled at Bi Jingjing, "I apologize for taking the liberty of making this move, Palace Master."

"Not at all, not at all. The enemies of the Great Luo Palace are also the enemies of the Azure Water Palace." Bi Jingjing returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Bi Jingjing smiled outwardly, but inwardly she was utterly shocked.

With nearly a thousand years of cultivation, and the Biyue Palace having been established for a long time, the water pattern restriction was already firmly established, and no one but himself could trigger it in the slightest.

However, as soon as Gu Zhao made his move, the restrictions surrounding the Biyue Palace loosened one by one, and the water vapor was drawn out, or water-based lightning was condensed, or the Xuanwu Dharma Image was condensed, as if it were done effortlessly.

This not only means that Gu Zhao is keenly aware of spiritual energy and has exquisite control over magic, but also that his own cultivation and magical power have far surpassed his own and are unfathomable.

"How did he reach his current level at such a young age?" Bi Jingjing pondered. "Was it reincarnation and cultivation again? Or a deity descending to earth? But how did he end up as a human?" Bi Jingjing glanced at Zhuo Qingyan with some regret. It was a pity that the other party already had a wife, otherwise she and her sister could...

"She has no magic weapon and her aura isn't very stable. It seems she hasn't fully recovered from the injuries inflicted by the Netherfire Cult Leader, and her personal magic weapon is also damaged." Bi Jingjing waved her hand and then instructed the palace servants to clean up the battlefield.

"That's good, otherwise she might have escaped," Gu Zhao said with a smile.

Bi Jingjing glanced at Gu Zhao with a smile, her eyes full of charm, "Brother Gu, you love to joke. With your skills, even if this woman were at her peak, she wouldn't be a match for you."

Gu Zhao chuckled but didn't reply.

Seeing that the servants had cleaned up the battlefield, Bi Jingjing also released the restriction, and then clapped her hands at the musicians and dancers who had just been hiding to the side, "Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

……

"I never imagined that the leader of the Three Worlds Cult was the Mirage Maiden."

At the banquet, Bi Jingjing took a piece of seashell that Mo Wei presented and said, "Mirage demons usually come from the sea. It seems that this Blue Sect Leader comes from the East Sea."

The East China Sea lies to the east of Yongzhou, so it's not surprising that a sea monster like Bi Jingjing would appear there.

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Since she has connections, why is she being chased and beaten by the leader of the Netherfire Cult?"

Bi Jingjing chuckled, "Brother Gu is overthinking it. There are countless demons on the islands of the East Sea. She's just a mirage girl. What kind of background does she have? Maybe she couldn't make it at sea and came here by land."

The embroiderer was puzzled. "She's so capable, how could she not make a living?"

Bi Jingjing casually guessed, "Perhaps they offended an even more powerful demon."

"Is Palace Master Bi familiar with the East Sea?" Gu Zhao asked.

“I’m not familiar with it, I’ve never been there.” Bi Jingjing shook her head and said, “I only know that although there are thousands of islands in the East, the dragons in the sea are the leaders. The islands are a paradise for demons.”

"Is the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits also a member of the dragon race?"

“The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits is one of the top dragons.” Bi Jingjing sighed. “It is said that he was invited by the Great Ning Dynasty to Wanling River to oversee the river’s waterways and regulate the wind, rain and floods. I don’t know how he fell out with the court.”

Gu Zhao nodded. Although everyone had experienced what happened thirty years ago, no one knew the specific cause.

However, the matter of the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits is still far from their reach, and even that black dragon is not something they can deal with right now.

"I heard that the black dragon is the adopted son of the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits?" Gu Zhao asked again.

“Yes.” Bi Jingjing nodded. “But the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits was still relatively normal before. Although the Black Dragon occasionally ate people, it wasn’t this unscrupulous. It wasn’t until thirty years ago when the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits had a falling out with the imperial court that the Black Dragon stopped hiding and started eating an entire county town at a time.”

Gu Zhao stroked his chin. "If we destroy the Ink Dragon, will it provoke the Myriad Spirits Dragon King?"

Bi Jingjing's eyes widened, surprised that Gu Zhao had set his sights on the Ink Dragon. After a moment of contemplation, she finally shook her head, "The current Myriad Spirits Dragon King is not the same as the former Myriad Spirits Dragon King. I don't know either."

“It is said that the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits was once dissatisfied with the Ink Dragon eating people,” Bi Jingjing added. “Moreover, the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits has never appeared since the battle thirty years ago.”

Gu Zhao understood and bowed in thanks.

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Spirits is still far away, and the Ink Dragon has only had a meal in Guangwu County, so there's no rush.

Gu Zhao surveyed the five thunder seeds swirling around the Five Thunder Token in his sea of ​​consciousness, realizing that finding new members to join and further strengthen the Great Luo Palace was the most urgent task at hand.
