At night, a disciple of Muyuntian Palace came to Lingyun Peak Xiang Bailuo, Xie Zhanning, Xie Jinyan and others asked for peace, and then brought wine, drinks and food for everyone to enjoy. He also told everyone that if they had any needs, they could tell the palace maids, but there was only one thing, that was, they should not go to the main peak at night.

At night, the main peak of Muyuntian Palace was as quiet as death. Compared to the Lingyun Peak, which can drink and eat copper pots, it was extremely lively.

On the main peak, there are towering palace cities one by one, and between the palace city, only palace servants carrying lanterns walked tremblingly.

These palace ladies were humble and wore dark red cloth clothes, but they still felt that their clothes were not red enough, and they wore a string of pigeon blood stones to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters on their necks.

The patrolling palace ladies walked in groups on the dark corridor. The red walls and green tiles on both sides looked extremely luxurious in the daytime, but cold and weird at night. The shadows of the golden palace lanterns shone on the red walls, making people look long and swaying on the red walls.

The wind blew across the corridor, and the candles of the golden palace lanterns shook, and the shadows also shook on the red wall. As they shook, one more person came out between the shadows of the two people.

"ah!!!!!!!"

A scream cut through the sky, and only one of the three shadows were left on the wall.

The shadow on the wall shook again, and the screams came to an abrupt end, and there was no shadow on the wall.

A disciple from Mu Yuntian Palace stumbled to the front of Chuyun Palace, his voice trembling so hard that he could not control himself: "Sect Master, Sect Master, the shadow is eating people again."

Xiao Mingjing suddenly sat up from the bed, and his beloved concubine Mrs. Rou was huddled behind him, as if she was extremely scared, and her body was shaking slightly.

Xiao Mingjing felt distressed and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, Rou'er, that Soul-Devouring Shadow can only deal with some people with low spiritual power, you don't have to be afraid."

Mrs. Rou stumbled and said, "But I..."

"I know." Xiao Mingjing gently patted Mrs. Rou: "I will send some people to Chuyun Palace, no one can hurt you."

Mrs. Rou was originally a cultivator with an average qualification. She suffered a disaster a few years ago and her spiritual core was shattered. Now she is just an ordinary person with no spiritual power. However, she was also lucky in disguise and was sympathized with Xiao Mingjing. Now, a few years later, she has gone from an unknown concubine to the most favored concubine in Mu Yuntian Palace.

Xiao Mingjing patted Mrs. Rou's hand again: "Don't worry, I'll go and have a look. You have a good rest tonight."

Mrs. Rou held Xiao Mingjing's hand and asked with some concern: "Sect Master, didn't you invite that Kura Lingjun to the Heavenly Palace? I heard that Kura Lingjun is very powerful. She eliminated the inner demons of the elder Weisu in Biquan Villa. Why don't you invite her to come and have a look?"

Xiao Mingjing's face darkened: "Let's discuss this matter again."

"But, the sect leader..."

Xiao Mingjing slowly walked out of bed and turned around and looked at Mrs. Rou gently: "Don't think so much, have a good rest."

When Mrs. Rou saw Xiao Mingjing's gentle expression, she could not disobey Xiao Mingjing's intentions. She had to bring Xiao Mingjing's outer robe and put it on: "It's cold at night, put on a piece of clothing."

"Arou is the best." Xiao Mingjing smiled and walked out of Chuyun Palace with a coat.

He didn't see that Mrs. Rou's hands, which were put on his cloak, were shaking, and tears were also lying at Xiao Mingjing's eyes.

Xiao Mingjing walked out of Chuyun Palace, and his gentleness suddenly calmed down and turned into a mature and steadfast look. He glanced at the disciple waiting outside Chuyun Palace and said coldly: "Take me to see."

Xiao Mingjing is actually only forty years old. He was just over forty years old. When he was young, he was a famous handsome man in the Central Plains. Now he has been the leader of Mu Yuntian Palace for twenty years. He has more temperament as a superior, and he is handsome and extraordinary.

And it is rare to have Shenwu as a master as his age. But his expression looks particularly old, exuding a twilight aura that is inconsistent with his age.

The disciple who came to Chuyun Palace to report the news was wearing an ordinary dark red gauze dress, named Zangque. Although he was just an ordinary disciple, he was very handsome in front of Xiao Mingjing.

"Sect Master, this time I am outside the Palace of Yuyun."

"How many people died?"

"two."

"Where is the shadow?"

"Everything is gone."

Xiao Mingjing frowned. Every time it was like this, the disciples or palace servants with low spiritual power died. These dead palace servants all had one thing in common - no shadow.

At first, it was just that people often died at night in Mu Yuntian Palace. Xiao Mingjing thought that an enemy had sneaked into Mu Yuntian Palace. Later, the palace servant who carried the body suddenly found that no one was in the dead. Xiao Mingjing realized that this was unusual. But no matter what formation barrier he set up, people in the palace were still eaten by shadows.

Xiao Mingjing walked to the vicinity of the Yeyun Hall and saw two palace men lying on the ground, describing the terrifying words, with blood flowing along the corridor to the corner of the wall.

The two people were covered with fine scars on their faces, their eyes were protruding, and their faces were ferocious. Blood flowed out of these scars, and the flesh around the wound turned white.

Xiao Mingjing raised his chin with a serious face. Two palace servants walked up to help the person who fell to the ground. The other person walked up and shone it with a lamp. There were only two figures on the ground, one left and one right, but there was no shadow of the person in the middle.

Xiao Mingjing walked to the blood-stained wall and slapped it with his palm. The red light suddenly burned like fire, rushed straight into the sky along the red wall of the Yuyun Hall, reflecting half of the sky. When it was about to touch the stars, it suddenly disappeared and disappeared into the dark night sky.

Xiao Mingjing frowned and withdrew his hand. Sure enough, the barrier was not broken, and the evil spirit could actually walk freely in his barrier! Xiao Mingjing put his hand back under the tip of his nose and sniffed it. A familiar fragrance of flowers suddenly soaked into his breath.

It still has the same smell as before. When he first discovered this fragrance, he ordered people to take all the fragrance in the palace. He smelled it one by one, but he couldn't find the same one. The fragrance was so familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it.

Zangque ordered people to carry the body to the birthday room and asked Xiao Mingjing in a low voice: "Sect Master, do you want to invite Kura Yanjun to take a look?"

Xiao Mingjing looked at a tall tower in the distance and frowned: "No need for now. I want to figure it out by myself."

The Tibetan Que also looked at the tall tower with Xiao Mingjing's eyes. The tall tower is the tallest building in Muyuntian Palace, called Tongtian Tower. Wu Yueji lives in Tongtian Tower.

If Xiao Mingjing is the sect leader of Mu Yuntian Palace, then to the outside world, the actual person in charge of Mu Yuntian Palace is Wu Yueji.

No one knows Wu Yueji’s age or identity, so she rarely comes out of the tower.

I heard from the old man in the palace that Wu Yueji went to Mu Yuntian Palace fifty years ago, and Xiao Mingjing was not even born at that time.

At that time, the sect leader of Mu Yuntian Palace was Xiao Mingjing's father, Xiao Wanjun. On a very ordinary day, Wu Yueji went to Mu Yuntian Palace to meet Xiao Wanjun. No one knew what Wu Yueji said to Xiao Wanjun, or what he did to him. In short, after that, Xiao Wanjun respected Wu Yueji.

Although everyone in Muyun Tian Palace had doubts about this, Xiao Wanjun tried to disagree and still regarded Wu Yueji as the most respected one. However, Wu Yueji was in Tongtian Tower all year round, rarely came out of Tongtian Tower, and rarely interfered in palace affairs, so everyone gradually got used to it.

Wu Yueji's second appearance was when Xiao Wanjun died. It was twenty years since she first visited Muyun Tiangong. But her appearance had not changed at all, and she still looked like a girl.

Xiao Wanjun passed the position of sect leader to his eldest son Xiao Mingfeng, and specifically told Xiao Mingfeng to respect Wu Yueji.

However, Xiao Mingfeng did not take Xiao Wanjun's words into his heart at all. Xiao Mingfeng was very disliked Wu Yueji. Not only did he not listen to Wu Yueji's orders, he almost burned the Tower of Tongtian for a while.

Wu Yueji was furious and deposed Xiao Mingfeng, executed Xiao Mingfeng and his confidants Ling Chi and smashed his soul. Later, Wu Yueji supported Xiao Wanjun's seventh son, Xiao Mingjing, as the leader.

That was Wu Yueji's third time out of the Tower of Heaven, and she was still like a girl.

Xiao Mingjing reigned for twenty years and although he was in power, he had to go to the Tongtian Tower to worship every day on the first and fifteenth day of the day. If there was an order from the Tongtian Tower, he had to respect him.

If Wu Yueji wants to destroy him, it will be just a matter of one sentence.

Seeing that Xiao Mingjing was so cautious about the matter of Soul-Devouring Shadow, he felt panicked.
