HEAVEN'S OFFICIAL BLESSING (Mo Xiang Tong Xiu)

"...And what is that?" Xie Lian asked.

However, Jun Wu seemed to be quietly concerned with the subject, and he deliberated for a long while before he said, "What is it, Xian Le? Why did you suddenly bring up your master? Did you run into something inside Mount TongLu? That has to do with him?"

Xie Lian came to his senses and was just about to give a quick account before pressing with more questions when suddenly, there was a clamouring noise on the other end. Jun Wu said, "I see the three mountain spirits you all spoke of before, indeed peculiar! I will take care of them first, and we can talk again later. However, since Xian Le you've made the inquiry, just remember one thing: your master isn't any simple character. If you do run into him, be absolutely careful!"

Then, the other end fell into deep silence. "My Lord?" Xie Lian called out.

Jun Wu did not respond again. Just one of those mountain spirits was hard to deal with; to have three surround and siege must be even more difficult. Even when Xie Lian had limitless spiritual powers earlier and controlled a heaven-defying giant divine statue he couldn't take care of it, and now Jun Wu was facing them by himself, so he would probably need to focus and exert quite a bit of strength. Xie Lian gave Hua Cheng a brief account of the conversation during the communication and the two stopped in their steps.

At this moment, they were situated at a wide and expansive large street. Gazing towards the sky, gloomy clouds concealed the moon, and faint threads and strings of black smoke like creatures could be seen drifting before the cold moon, like ink blurring in clear water.

Those were the resentful spirits sent over from the divine temple of WuYong. They hadn't yet entered because the Aura of the King within the Palace and the many temples of various gods within the royal capital shone brightly, their auras intertwining, weaving a solemn shield. A natural barrier such as this would block those wicked beings outside the shield, and so they could only drift high in the sky.

Almost every city fortress possessed a similar shield because outstanding characters and impressive heavenly officials would appear everywhere; rich land fosters talents, as they say. However, those shields couldn't block everything forever.

"It'd be good as long as we add reinforcements to the shield," Hua Cheng said.

But, the problem was how to reinforce? Xie Lian mused, "Talisman spells? Spiritual devices?" Then he said, "They probably won't be enough."

Those resentful spirits enveloped the entire sky of the royal capital, so unless they had millions of talismen and spiritual devices, they might not hold. Pacing back and forth, Xie Lian gritted his teeth, "San Lang, I have an idea that can maybe reinforce this barrier, but... I need people."
