Heavenly Dao Formula

"This is the storm revealed by the dial..."

Fang Xiandao climbed onto the roof of a house and looked at the chaotic Jinxia City and whispered to himself.

In less than an hour, several places in the Dongcheng District were already on fire, and the billowing smoke made the Yancheng even darker.

Along with the sound of the wind came the exclamation and screams of the victims. The residents who had homes to hide locked their doors tightly, while the homeless fled to Dongcheng District in a panic. Until now, most of the city residents don't know how serious the situation in the east is, they only know that there is a bandit disaster in Jinxia City.

And this chaos did not slow down at all, on the contrary, it intensified, and it was only a matter of time before it swept across the city.

"Master, Qianzhi can't climb up."

Qianzhi was hanging on the edge of the eaves, her legs were swinging helplessly, and she still couldn't step on the wall.

Don't climb if you have short legs.

With that in mind, he still possessed himself and pulled Qianzhi up to the roof.

"Is this city... on fire?" Qian Zhi followed his example, covering her eyebrows with one hand, looking at each other on tiptoe.

"Someone is setting fire. And it won't be long before the fire is here."

"Why are people running in the opposite direction? Aren't they fighting the fire?"

"With their strength, this fire cannot be saved," Fang Xiandao paused, "No one here can save it."

"Not even the Privy Council?"

"The Privy Council will not take action, because the fire cannot reach them."

"Master, Qianzhi doesn't understand."

"Hold it if you don't understand." Fang Xiandao replied casually. In fact, he didn't understand what he was observing. For such a major event as the pirate attacking the city, the hexagram should be able to give a clear omen. But the fact is that the water in the hexagram plate is always in a chaotic state, which is the result of leaving Xia Fan aside.

Now he knew what Chaos represented.

But does this really help to improve one's alchemy level?

Fang Xiandao could guess the current situation of Jinxia City without even using magic spells. The pirates' looting would never stop until Zhou Mu and his army arrived. Regardless of whether it is the Privy Council or Xia Fan, they should have evacuated to a safe place long ago. In other words, anyone would do the same thing—because stopping the storm would not bring any benefit except that the body would be easily crushed.

And therein lies the problem.

Why is divination always one step behind what he can think of just by thinking?

"Help, help, help!"

Suddenly, a cry for help from the end of the street interrupted Fang Xiandao's thoughts.

I saw a dozen people running towards this side covered in blood, and behind them were three warriors with swords. Judging from the bleeding tip of the knife, the pursuer should have killed too many people.

Fang Xiandao frowned.

Fortunetellers can remind and hint, but they should not personally intervene in the divination.

No matter what the hexagram is, it is only aimed at the caster himself, and the results obtained are only effective for himself. This is why he used to be confident that he could find an optimal solution under any circumstances.

But once the bystander becomes the person in the hexagram, the situation will become different.

The old lady and the old man have repeatedly reminded them not to let themselves become part of the divination.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Xiandao turned around, "Qianzhi, it's time to go."

However, Qianzhi has disappeared.

When he turned his head again, the little girl had already rushed into the crowd.

"This guy!" Fang Xiandao's eyes widened. Didn't he mean that the living dead are very dull? Why did she act on her own before she opened her mouth?

In desperation, he had no choice but to run after him.

In the blink of an eye, Qianzhi passed through the crowd and collided head-on with the three knife-wielding men. The latter did not show mercy because the visitor was a five or six-year-old girl, so he raised his knife and slashed at her.

Qianzhi moved faster than the assailant. She jumped up like a cat, caught the opponent's long knife with both hands in the air, and then interlaced her palms, directly breaking the blade. When falling, he took advantage of the situation and slapped the enemy on the forehead.

The person's entire face collapsed immediately, and blood gushed from his ears.

"Hey!" The other two, one on the left and one on the right, slashed at the back of Qianzhi who had just landed.

"Thousands of knowledge, use the technique!" Fang Xiandao shouted.

Qianzhi clasped his hands together and shouted in a childish voice, "Icing-jutsu!"

It's not icing, it's frosting! Fang Xiandao couldn't help roaring in his heart, after all, what the hell is it that the word Bing has to prolong?

But no matter what she yelled, the natural spell was activated in an instant, the air around her cooled down sharply, and a thick ice crystal condensed behind her in an instant!

The long knife slashed into the ice with a swipe, its strength exhausted and it could no longer penetrate an inch.

The two showed a look of horror.

Qianzhi pushed away the ice, stepped on the ground and bounced up, two feet in the air, hitting the enemy's neck! With two crisp clicks, the attacker's neck twisted into a strange shape, and he fell to the ground.

As expected of the living dead... This skill is stronger than most alchemists. Although Fang Xiandao was full of admiration in his heart, he put on a serious expression on his face, "Why didn't you follow my order and act without authorization? Do you know that this will disturb the conditions for divination!"

"Qianzhi, you are good at fighting fires!" The little girl raised her hand and said.

"You are only saving the fire for a while, you can't save the fire of Jinxia!"

"Qianzhi, good at analysis!" She immediately changed her words.

"What?" Fang Xiandao didn't react for a while.

"The old lady said that the enemy's accomplice is the enemy. These three people are dressed in the same clothes as the guy who wanted to attack the young master before, so they are the enemy's accomplice. They should be eliminated to avoid future troubles."

"..." This logic is impeccable. Fang Xiandao decided not to bother with the living dead anymore, "Okay, this hexagram can't be deduced anymore. Let's go out of the city first, and then we will—"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, because there were dense footsteps coming from the long street behind him, and it sounded like there were hundreds of people!

Is this the pirates outflanking them from the rear?

Fang Xiandao grabbed Qianzhi by the collar and dragged her into an alley.

After a while, the source of the sound appeared at the other end of the street. To his great surprise, it was not pirates, but soldiers trotting forward in rows!

They didn't have uniform armor, and even their clothes and weapons were varied, but Fang Xiandao made it clear that they were definitely not ordinary people. What made him make this judgment was the flag held high in the hands of the comers.

One side has a yellow background and a red border, embroidered with the word Ning and phoenix wings, representing the royal princess.

On the other side, there is a gold pattern on a black background, with a Chinese character Shu in the middle, which is the official flag of the Privy Council.

Together with the team, the two flags rushed towards the smoky Dongcheng District like a torrent.

At the same time, people kept shouting loudly——

"Jinxia City has been invaded by the enemy, everyone please take refuge in the outskirts of Xicheng District immediately! Don't stay at home, don't stay in the city, we have someone to guide and escort you there! Don't be afraid, Her Royal Highness will protect you!"
