All sects work

Chapter 226 Danger
The overflowing spiritual energy enveloped Qu Shan, hiding his figure.

Before the end of the Dharma, the invisibility technique was just a common little trick in the world of cultivation, but now no one can use it. The invisibility technique that Qu Shan is using now is the product of his own improvement. It can be used but has many fatal flaws.

Just like now...

Ordinary people could not see him, but the obvious fluctuations of spiritual energy on his body were like a candle lit in the dark night, instantly attracting the attention of all the grandmasters in the palace.

Seeing the four men approaching, Qu Shan gritted his teeth, took out the breath-suppressing talisman that he had treasured for a long time, and slapped it on his body, narrowly escaping the search.

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the four grand masters who had lost their target in an instant and were searching aimlessly, sneered, and swaggered away along the palace road.

Boom——

The long-brewing heavy rain fell down with a crackling sound.

One of the Grand Masters pointed at the palace wall and said, "Over there!"

The four of them captured Qu Shan's position accurately with their eyes like an eagle.

It turned out that the heavy rain splashed white water on objects, which actually outlined the edge of Qushan Mountain. The lightning was as bright as daylight and was quite conspicuous against the dark palace walls.

"How could this happen?!" Qu Shan couldn't see the splashes and thought that the breath-suppressing talisman or the invisibility spell had failed, so he quickly slapped another talisman on his body.

However, the four grand masters still rushed over without deviation.

Qu Shan was horrified and took out two wind talismans and slapped them on his legs.

The four grand masters saw the water splashes on the wall suddenly speed up, and they swam away as fast as geckos, disappearing into the rainy night in the blink of an eye.

"There is only Xuanshou in the whole Daqu who has such exquisite mysterious arts. Do you think he is coming from the direction of the observatory?" one of them asked.

"That's the direction."

The four of them rushed to the observatory and saw that Qu Shan was indeed missing. They couldn't help but feel strange: His Majesty locked Qu Shan up here because he thought he was spending his days in debauchery and not doing his job, and wanted to force him to figure out the identity of "Guardian Star" as soon as possible. He didn't hold him here as a prisoner, providing him with good food and drink every day and giving him whatever he wanted. If he had a good reason, His Majesty would not have let him go. What happened that made him risk his power to escape?
"I heard that Xuan Shou loves beautiful women and cannot live without warm and soft jade for a day. During the five or six days at the observatory..."

"That doesn't mean he's in such a hurry. Could it be that he has practiced some mysterious technique to replenish his yin and yang?"

"Go report to His Majesty first."

In the pouring rain, Qu Shan appeared. After making sure that no one was chasing him, he leaned against the wall and gasped for breath.

The cold rain after the beginning of autumn soaked him from the inside out. He shivered and felt even more hateful.

Now that Liu Shuji is in the palace, it is impossible for him to kill Chen Xiang personally. Either he sends his men to assassinate him, or he uses mystical magic. Qu Shan guessed that it must be the latter, because Chen Xiang is a mid-level martial artist, and there are so many guards in the mansion who are not there to do nothing. It is not so easy to get rid of him quietly.

Using mysterious techniques to kill people... Could it be that Liu Shuji is not just a martial artist?

Qu Shan suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

Most spells are cast with a lot of twists and turns. It was almost midnight, exactly the seventh day. It would be bad if he did it tonight! He had no time to vent his emotions and hurried to Chen's house.

Qu Shan felt an extremely mysterious and ominous aura when he was still some distance away from Chen's house. He stood on the roof, focusing his spiritual energy in his eyes, and when he looked over, the scene in front of him made him forget to breathe instantly - those black clouds hovering in the sky were actually in the shape of a funnel, and the place where the black clouds poured down was Chen's house!
Qu Shan's eyes were bloodshot and he almost fainted.

Even though Qu Shan, as the leader of the Great Qu Xuan, had a wide range of knowledge, he didn't know what those black clouds were, but he could clearly feel the destructive power emanating from them!
That is a force that humans cannot resist.

Qu Shan's legs trembled as he realized that his death was imminent. He was unwilling to accept it! He would never resign himself to his fate! Even if the heavens wanted to kill him, he would poke the heavens!

At this moment, Qu Shan's body was shaking uncontrollably, but his brain was unprecedentedly clear. His desire to survive brought out his potential dozens of times higher than usual, and he climbed into Chen's house tremblingly.

As soon as we entered the courtyard wall, the wind and rain stopped suddenly.

The Chen Mansion was like being in the "eye" of a hurricane. There was no wind or rain, and it was completely peaceful. Even the dark clouds above were not as oppressive as those outside.

Qu Shan knew that he couldn't break the killing formation, so he could only think of a way to get the people out.

The attic window was pushed open and a few coughs were heard.

Chen Jizhi has always had trouble falling asleep, but tonight he felt particularly uncomfortable. He felt a tightness in his chest and almost couldn't breathe.

He pushed open the window, and the slightly cold air poured in, irritating his throat. He held onto the window frame and coughed, when suddenly he saw a wet head pop up in front of him. The person's messy black hair stuck to his face like algae, like a water ghost who had died unjustly many years ago.

Chen Jizhi was startled and was about to slap him when he heard the head trembling and saying, "Chen Chen, Prime Minister Chen, it's me!"

The voice was very familiar. Chen Jizhi almost withdrew his palm and asked in surprise, "Master Xuanshou?"

"Yes." Qu Shan tried his best to climb up, but his hands and feet were a little weak.

Seeing this, Chen Jizhi reached out and gave him a hand.

Qu Shan climbed up and immediately pulled the man out with his backhand: "Prime Minister Chen, follow me!"

"What's wrong with Lord Xuanshou? Why did you come here so late at night to take Chen away?" Chen Jizhi was puzzled, but did not struggle. Instead, he followed Qu Shan downstairs.

Qu Shan suddenly appeared here in the middle of the night in a disheveled state, with even his trembling fingertips revealing fear, which made Chen Jizhi puzzled. He and Qu Shan were just nodding acquaintances, so how did they suddenly develop to the point of fleeing together?

"Someone wants to kill you. It's not safe for you to stay here." Qu Shan saw that the killing array was already formed, and he was afraid that the action would start after midnight tonight. "There is no time to explain more. You should leave with me first."

As they were talking, the two of them had already run to the courtyard wall. Chen Jizhi suddenly stopped and said, "No, I can't go alone."

If Qu Shan was not lying, then someone must have set up a mysterious formation around him! Otherwise, Qu Shan would not have been so anxious to take him away.

The Chen Mansion is located in the place closest to the imperial city in Qudu. Every household of the surrounding dignitaries has guards. In addition, Chen himself is a martial artist who has experienced many battles. Even a grandmaster cannot kill people silently.

Logically speaking, this should be a very safe place, but Qu Shan wanted to take him away and didn't think about anything else except the mysterious magic formation.

Furthermore, as the leader of the Qu State, Qu Shan had few people who could match him in terms of mystical arts. However, he did not want to break the formation, but instead fled in such panic and embarrassment, which showed how dangerous this formation was.

Chen Jizhi quickly guessed the current situation: "If it is so dangerous, how can I escape alone?! Xuanshou wait, I will go wake them up."

Ever since the rift appeared in the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, Chen Jizhi has moved all his family members out of Qudu bit by bit over the past few decades. Recently, he even sent away ordinary servants, leaving only a few martial artists to guard the house. If they are awake, they can at least have a glimmer of hope.

What's more, his son is still in there!

"Huh?!" Qu Shan was dumbfounded, his eyes bloodshot with anger, and he grabbed him tightly, "It's too late! You must come with me first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds rolled around him and dark shadows appeared and disappeared among the clouds.
