Just as the two were talking, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Gradually, a blurred figure appeared in the wind and snow in the distance.

Lu Xuanji and Liu Xundao both narrowed their eyes slightly, activated the power of their spiritual consciousness to the extreme, and looked into the distance.

After a moment, the two of them showed surprise at the same time.

"Why is it him?"

In the wind and snow, the man was wearing a zither clothes, with an ordinary appearance, and a huge stone box behind him. It was Dugu Xiu, who was a clumsy sword flowing in the Taoist sect!

At the beginning, when the Three Life Treasure Tree collapsed, Lu Xuanji did not attack Han Bo and Zhu Jianliu, but chose to let them die.

Later, two realms appeared. The monks from the Tao and Confucian schools rushed here, but did not see the figures of the cubby swordsman...

"I remember this person's strength is very ordinary. Why did he appear here? Is there any conspiracy behind it?" Lu Xuanji frowned.

"Don't rush to make a conclusion. When he comes, everything will be decided." Liu Xundao said in a deep voice.

"Um."

The two of them stopped talking and just waited quietly.

After a long time, Dugu Xiu finally came to the palace.

“Huh?”

Looking at the two people frozen, Dugu Xiu was also slightly stunned, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Lu? Why are you here?"

"I want to ask you, why are you here?" Lu Xuanji smiled.

"I……"

Dugu Xiu hesitated for a moment, but sighed softly: "I am here to perform the Dao Alliance mission. As for what specific mission is, I can't tell you."

"oh?"

Lu Xuanji and Liu Xundao looked at each other and knew it in their hearts.

It is obvious that the Taoist saints have a backup plan, and they did not put all the treasures on Shen Biyou.

"Where is Bo Han, where is Huangfu Tao and the others? Why didn't you go with you?" Lu Xuanji asked again.

Dugu Xiu shook his head: "I don't know where they are... When the Sansheng Treasure Tree collapsed, I accidentally fell into the abyss and then lost contact with them."

After hearing this, Lu Xuanji felt a little surprised.

He remembered clearly that when the Three Life Treasure Tree collapsed, it clearly produced a powerful destructive power.

Even he could not resist the destructive power. Dugu Xiu's strength was mediocre. Since he fell into the abyss, why could he survive until now?

As soon as this doubt emerged, Liu Xundao's voice sounded in his ears:

"Don't think about it anymore, the mystery must be in the stone box behind him."

"Um?"

Lu Xuanji narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes fell on the stone box behind Dugu Xiu. After a moment, he nodded slightly: "Yes, this person has been carrying that stone box on his back. Even when facing the Emperor Feng, he didn't see him use it. There must be a secret inside!"

Liu Xundao sent another message: "If I guessed correctly, this stone box should be specially used to fight against the power of heaven and earth in the world. Otherwise, how could he keep carrying it on his body without putting it in the storage ring?"

After hearing this, Lu Xuanji felt aroused: "Confronting the power of heaven and earth... What do you mean is that the stone box contains a holy treasure?"

"I think it's very possible." Liu Xundao sent a voice transmission.

"So that's it... this makes sense." Lu Xuanji nodded secretly.

This world-famous realm has its own unique rules of heaven and earth. It not only excludes monks above the holy realm, but also rejects any treasures related to saints, even if they have a little holy energy.

The stone box behind Dugu Xiu is probably used to fight against this rule of heaven and earth.

Therefore, he could not put the stone box into the storage ring, otherwise he would definitely explode the storage ring.

"Since that's the case... can we use this holy treasure?" Lu Xuanji asked in a voice transmission.

"Don't be reckless! The saint's layout should not be underestimated. There may be a backup plan in the stone box. If we force it to open it, we will be afraid of disaster!" Liu Xundao said in a deep voice.

"Well... Then look at it, what should we do next?"

"hehe."

Liu Xundao smiled slightly: "I understand it. This time the discussion on Taoism in the virtual realm seems complicated, but after all, it is actually a battle between a saint from the Tao Alliance and Xiaoxiaosheng, and the Confucian League is not aware of it."

"The matter has developed to this point, both sides have already figured out their goals and are about to show their last trump card..."

"In this situation, we are actually the biggest variable!"

When Lu Xuanji heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Hmm? Interesting... and then say!"

Liu Xundao continued: "It is obvious that Xiaoxiaosheng and the Dao Alliance are both competing for an opportunity in this palace. Although Xiaoxiaosheng is strong, the Dao Alliance is not a vegetarian. The stone box behind Dugu Xiu is very likely to be the Dao Alliance's way of countering Dong Guoyue. We don't have to rush to take action, just sit in the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"Well..." Lu Xuanji nodded secretly.

Although he was determined to take revenge, he gradually calmed down after communicating with Liu Xundao.

After all, there are still many things waiting for him to do, the Taoist tribulation of the deity, Su Xiaodie's incomplete true spirit... He cannot die here for revenge.

The two of them were secretly communicating, which was a long story, but for them, it was just a few thoughts.

At this moment, Dugu Xiu had just answered Lu Xuanji's question.

His eyes observed the two of them for a moment, and said strangely: "Fellow Daoist Lu, you are extremely powerful. Who is frozen here?"

"You may not believe it, it's Dong Guoyue." Lu Xuanji said lightly.

"Dong Guoyue?"

Dugu Xiu showed a look of surprise on his face: "I remember Han Bo said that in order to retaliate against the Confucian League, they had already killed Dong Guoyue."

"Haha, I thought so before, but Dong Guoyue was actually pretending to die. The battle between the two factions of Taoism and Confucianism was initiated by him!"

Lu Xuanji said this and paused, then continued, "Don't underestimate this person. Dong Guoyue is extremely powerful. We and Dongfang Guo and Shen Biyou joined forces to defeat him. Now Shen Biyou has been caught by him and go deep into the palace."

"Chen Biyou!"

When Dugu Xiu heard this name, his eyes lit up.

"I did not come to the wrong place, my master is really making every decision!"

He thought to himself, then subconsciously supported the stone box behind him, and then said, "Since the culprit has been found, I should do my best. I wonder if the two fellow Taoists are willing to fight?"

"certainly!"

Liu Xundao smiled and said, "I am a close friend of Chen Biyou. Please help us break this seal. I will fight to the death with the old thief Dongguo!"

After hearing this, Dugu Xiu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Fellow Taoist, I will help you unseal the seal!"

While speaking, pinch the magic tricks in your hand.

When the "Guiyuan Sword Art" was used, the green sword energy fell like drizzle, stabbing the thirty-six ice talismans on the ground.

These runes are where the array eyes of the seal barrier are located. After being attacked by Dugu Xiu's sword energy, the originally bright light gradually dimmed.

Lu Xuanji and Liu Xundao both sensed that the sealing power had been significantly weakened, and they were all happy.

The two of them were not idle either, and mobilized the magic power that gradually revived in their bodies, and attacked the surrounding seal barriers over and over again.

With the cooperation of both sides, the seal barrier was quickly broken.

With a crisp sound, the ice cubes on Lu Xuanji's body shattered inch by inch, and the magic power in his body flowed freely, completely regaining freedom.

He turned around and saw that Liu Xundao was like himself, and his aura had recovered as before.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Dugu!" Lu Xuanji and Liu Xundao bowed at the same time.

"Haha, you two fellow Taoists don't have to be polite. We may have had some holidays before, but today we should work together to eliminate demons and demons." Dugu Xiu said with a smile.

"My fellow Taoist is right, so it's not appropriate to go to this palace quickly to see what tricks Dong Guoyue plays."

"Walk!"

The three of them did not hesitate and immediately pinched the magic tricks, which turned into escape light and rose into the sky, and entered the palace in a blink of an eye.

...

The interior of the palace is extremely desolate, with ruins everywhere.

But above these ruins, there are actually many defensive restrictions hidden!

The long years have not weakened the power of these prohibitions. Until now, they are still full of murderous intent, and even pose a great threat to monks in the sub-saint realm!

However, Dong Guoyue captured Chen Biyou and flew inward, and encountered many defensive restrictions along the way.

But he easily resolved these restrictions, and he was familiar with the way, as if he had long been familiar with the layout of the palace.

About half a moment later, Dong Guoyue came to the center of the palace.

This is a deserted courtyard with broken walls everywhere. These walls are staggered and crisscrossed, and combined together like a huge maze.

“We’re here.”

Dong Guoyue smiled slightly, and took Chen Biyou down from the sky and landed on the periphery of this ruins.
