Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

However, as they approached the bell tower, a group of puppets possessed by fire emerged from the bell tower.

These puppets are tall, their movements are stiff but they have immense power, and every step they take causes the ground to tremble slightly.

They brandished weapons burning with black flames and pounced towards Fang Yue and others.

"Be careful, these puppets are not easy to deal with!"

Fang Yue reminded, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand shone brightly, and he performed a set of sharp sword moves, engaging in a fierce fight with the puppets.

The martial arts masters also displayed their unique skills. Some used palm techniques to shoot out strong air currents, trying to blow away the flames on the puppet; some used magic weapons, which emitted dazzling light to compete with the puppet's flames.

The court elites used the weapons in their hands to find the puppets' flaws and deliver a fatal blow.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the puppets were gradually eliminated, but Fang Yue and others also paid a heavy price. Many people were injured and exhausted.

"Everyone hold on, as long as we destroy the core of the formation, we can end this!" Fang Yue boosted morale and led the remaining people into the bell tower.

Inside the bell tower, there was an even stronger evil atmosphere.

In the center of the clock tower, they found a huge array of runes, in the array was a magic crystal emitting a dark light.

The magic crystal was surrounded by black flames, and the flames continuously poured into the magic crystal, making its light even stronger.

"This is the center of the formation!" Fang Yue was overjoyed and rushed towards the magic crystal without hesitation.

Just when he was about to touch the magic crystal, a black light suddenly shot out from the magic crystal and shot towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue was unable to dodge and was hit by the light. His body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Master Fang!" everyone exclaimed and gathered around.

Fang Yue struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm fine. The defense of this magic crystal is very strong. We can't force it. Let's think of a way together to destroy it."

Everyone began to discuss countermeasures. Some suggested using powerful spells to attack the magic crystal, while others suggested finding the weakness of the magic crystal and then delivering a fatal blow.

At this time, the old man who was good at formations spoke again: "I observed the energy flow of this magic crystal and found that it formed a cycle with the surrounding flames. If we can cut off the connection between the flames and the magic crystal, perhaps we can weaken the power of the magic crystal and then destroy it."

Fang Yue's eyes lit up and he said, "This plan is feasible. Divide into two groups. One group will be responsible for restraining the flame and preventing it from getting close to the magic crystal; the other group will work with me to find a way to cut off the connection."

Everyone acted quickly and divided into two groups according to Fang Yue's arrangement.

Fang Yue led a group of people to search carefully around the magic crystal, and finally found a tiny energy channel at the bottom of the magic crystal.

This channel connects the magic crystal with the flame outside, and is the key to the transmission of flame energy.

"It's here!" Fang Yue was overjoyed. He gathered powerful force with the long sword in his hand and slashed towards the energy channel.

With a loud bang, the energy channel was cut off, and the light of the magic crystal dimmed a lot in an instant.

The flame also lost power and began to die out.

"Success!" everyone cheered.

Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the gradually dying flames and the destroyed talisman formation.

But he knew that this was only a small victory in the fight against evil forces, and more challenges were waiting for them.

He arranged for people to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. At the same time, he recorded the situation here in detail, preparing to bring it back to the capital to study it together with the court and major sects in order to better deal with subsequent attacks from evil forces.

After returning to the capital, Fang Yue reported the affairs of the small town in detail to the Queen of Wei, Zhu Linlang, and the leaders of the major sects.

After hearing this, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the methods of the evil forces and realized the difficulty of this battle between good and evil.

Empress Zhu Linlang pondered for a moment and said, "Fang Yue, you have made great contributions this time. But judging from this series of events, the conspiracy of the evil forces has become more and more complicated. We must strengthen our prevention and response. What do you think?"

Fang Yue clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I think we can set up more early warning formations in important towns and strongholds across the country, so that if evil forces invade, they can detect them in time and sound the alarm.

At the same time, we should continue to increase support for the martial arts sects and encourage them to study ways to break the evil formations and spells. In addition, we can further publicize the harm of evil forces among the people and let the people participate more actively in the fight against them. "

The leaders of all the major sects nodded in agreement with Fang Yue's proposal.

Subsequently, with the joint efforts of the imperial court and major sects, a series of measures began to be implemented throughout the Wei Dynasty.

Early warning formations were gradually established in various towns and major transportation routes. The martial arts sects also increased their disciples' training on how to deal with evil forces. Ordinary people became more vigilant and would quickly report any suspicious situations to the government or local martial arts organizations.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. In a valley at the border of Wei and Jin, a mysterious thick fog appeared. The fog spread very quickly and had a strange magic. Anyone who entered the fog would lose their way and then disappear. The local garrison and the people were panicked, and rumors spread that this was the evil forces stirring up trouble again. After Fang Yue learned the news, he volunteered again and rushed to the valley alone.

When he came to the edge of the valley, he saw that the thick fog was like a huge monster, constantly swallowing everything around it.

Fang Yue tried to use his vital energy to send a stream of air into the thick fog, wanting to detect the situation of the fog, but as soon as the airflow entered, it disappeared without a trace, as if it was completely assimilated by the thick fog.

"This thick fog is not simple. We cannot enter rashly. We should observe the surroundings first to see if we can find a way to break it." Fang Yue said cautiously.

Fang Yue began to walk slowly along the edge of the valley, his eyes sharp as a torch, carefully examining every blade of grass, every rock and every bit of soil around him, not missing any place that might contain clues.

Suddenly, he saw some faint marks on the cliff on one side of the valley. Those marks were extremely hidden, and if you didn't get close and take a closer look, you would easily miss them. Fang Yue used his Qinggong to leap up and down, and after a few jumps, he arrived in front of the cliff. He reached out and gently brushed away the moss and dust covering the marks, and found that these marks actually formed some obscure rune patterns.

Fang Yue frowned slightly, thinking to himself that these runes seemed to contain some mysterious power, and might be inextricably linked to the thick fog. He tried to decipher these runes based on the knowledge he had accumulated from studying ancient books.

At this moment, a faint strange whistling sound came from the valley, as if it was a warning from some unknown existence. The thick fog also began to slowly surge towards the cliff where Fang Yue was, as if it had sensed that someone was exploring its secrets and wanted to swallow Fang Yue as well.

Fang Yue was unmoved, still concentrating on studying the runes. As his understanding of the runes deepened, he found that these runes were like an ancient sealing technique, but they were triggered for some unknown reason, thus releasing the thick fog, and also produced the strange effect of making people lose their way and disappear mysteriously.

"It seems that the key to dispelling this thick fog lies in these runes." Fang Yue muttered to himself.

He carefully stretched out his fingers, gathered the energy in his body, and began to try to repair the parts that looked a little broken and disordered according to the rune repair method he had learned. Each stroke required a lot of energy and strength, and fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Fang Yue's forehead, but his eyes remained firm and his hands did not stop moving at all.

After Fang Yue repaired a part of the rune, the surging speed of the thick fog slowed down significantly, and the original spreading trend was curbed. This made Fang Yue happy, knowing that he was on the right track, so he continued to repair the rune with more concentration.

However, just when he was about to complete the repair of the rune, several black light and shadows suddenly shot out from the depths of the fog, shooting towards Fang Yue like sharp arrows. Fang Yue sensed the danger approaching and quickly dodged sideways, but the light and shadow were so fast that one of them still brushed past his arm, instantly opening a wound and causing blood to ooze out.

"Hmph, it turns out that the evil forces behind this won't let me solve the mystery of the thick fog so easily." Fang Yue snorted coldly. Regardless of the injury on his arm, he mobilized his energy again to speed up the repair of the runes.

Finally, as the last stroke was made, the runes suddenly emitted a soft light, which slowly spread out. Wherever it went, the thick fog quickly dissipated as if it had encountered its nemesis. Soon, the mysterious thick fog that had shrouded the valley for a long time disappeared completely, and the valley became clear again.

But before Fang Yue could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw an old building that looked quite gloomy in the valley that was originally covered by thick fog. The door of the building was closed, and all kinds of strange runes were engraved on the door. There was a chilling evil atmosphere around it, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching in the dark.

Fang Yue clenched the sword in his hand and walked towards the old building carefully. When he walked to the gate, he could clearly feel a strong resistance, as if there was some kind of barrier preventing outsiders from entering.

Fang Yue circulated his vital energy and gently slapped the barrier, which immediately caused a wave of energy. However, the barrier only shook slightly and showed no signs of being broken.

"It seems that this barrier is quite tricky. I have to think of a way to break it." Fang Yue pondered in his mind and began to check around the building, trying to find the weak point of the barrier so that he could break through it in one fell swoop, go in to find out what was going on, and uncover the evil force behind it.

Fang Yue carefully observed the environment around the building and found that the light of the barrier was slightly dimmed when it approached a low-lying area behind the building. He thought that perhaps there was a breakthrough point there.

Fang Yue came to the low-lying area, took a deep breath, and circulated his internal energy to the extreme. He waved his hands, and the long sword drew mysterious sword marks in the air. He chanted something and performed a set of sword techniques specifically used to break the formation. As the sword moves were performed, sword energy whistled towards the weak points of the barrier.

The sword energy hit the barrier, making a series of roars. The barrier began to tremble violently, and the light flickered. Fang Yue increased his strength and continued to release the sword energy. Veins on his forehead bulged, and sweat fell like rain.

Finally, after a flash of dazzling light, a hole was torn in the barrier. Fang Yue did not hesitate, and flashed through the hole.

As soon as he entered the building, a foul and pungent smell hit him in the face, causing Fang Yue to frown. It was dark and damp inside, with some mosses emitting a faint green light hanging on the walls, barely illuminating the surroundings.

Fang Yue walked slowly along a narrow passage, keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came from the front, and he immediately stopped, holding his sword tightly, and prepared for battle.

I saw a group of people in black robes slowly appearing at the end of the passage. Their eyes were lifeless, they held all kinds of strange weapons in their hands, and they exuded an evil aura.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here!" one of the men in black robes asked in a hoarse voice.

Fang Yue sneered: "You evil people are bringing disaster to the world. Today I am here to put an end to your evil deeds!"

After that, Fang Yue took the lead in launching an attack. He used his sharp sword skills, and the sword shadow was as fast as lightning, stabbing at the black-robed people. The black-robed people were not to be outdone, and they all rushed forward waving their weapons.

The battle broke out instantly, Fang Yue moved freely among the black-robed people, his swordsmanship was exquisite, and every sword could accurately pierce the black-robed people's vital points. But these black-robed people seemed to be insensitive to pain, and they still attacked frantically even when they were injured.

During the fierce battle, Fang Yue discovered that the power of these black-robed men seemed to come from a kind of black crystal they wore. He decided to destroy these crystals first.

Therefore, Fang Yue changed his tactics. He avoided the attacks of the black-robed men and specifically looked for opportunities to attack the crystals on their bodies. When his sword hit the crystals, the black-robed men would scream in pain and their strength would instantly weaken.

With Fang Yue's efforts, the black-robed men fell one after another. But just when he thought the battle was about to end, a powerful wave of evil power came from deep in the building.

Fang Yue's heart trembled. He knew that the real challenge had just begun. He continued to move forward in the direction of the power fluctuations and came to a huge hall.

In the center of the hall was a huge talisman array, in which stood a mysterious man covered in a black robe. In his hand was a magic wand emitting a dark glow, with a huge black gem inlaid on the top of the wand, and evil power constantly surging in the gem.

"You are finally here, Fang Yue. Do you think you can stop our plan? Too naive!" The mysterious man laughed in a low and hoarse voice. (End of this chapter)
