Peerless Taoist

"Where are you going?" Xiao Qing quickly asked.    

However, Lu Yu acted as if he didn't hear her and continued walking towards the depths of the palace.    

"Damn it!"    

Xiao Qing gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.    

She didn't have any magic power on her right now, not even the weakest zombie was a match for her, let alone Lu Yu.    

Now, she could only look at Lu Yu's expression and act.    

Xiao Qing hurriedly carried Xiao Ling'er on her back and followed Lu Yu's footsteps.    

Along the way, there was still a group of zombies lingering around.    

The deeper they went into the underground palace, the more zombies there were. Moreover, the clothing of those zombies were even more luxurious, which showed their illustrious status before their death.    

Xiao Qing still had some fear towards these zombies. She only followed behind Lu Yu, staring at those zombies, afraid that these bloodthirsty creatures would suddenly pounce on them.    

But fortunately, those zombies seemed to be intimidated by something. Seeing Lu Yu retreat one after another, it was as if they were very afraid of Lu Yu.    

"Do you have a treasure that they are afraid of on you?" Xiao Qing's eyes were filled with doubt.    

Lu Yu didn't answer her, he continued walking towards the depths of the underground palace.    

Finally, Lu Yu stopped in front of a palace.    

There seemed to be a formation hidden in the surroundings. A few gemstones were flickering with light, forming a lightning bolt that gathered around a palace.    

Many zombies intended to enter the palace through the sea of thunder. However, they were immediately covered by the thunderbolt as soon as they took a step. Their hard bodies turned into powder on the ground.    

"This seems to be a spell formation. Could it be that the person who built this place was the one who set it up here?" Xiao Qing muttered.    

She had a certain level of attainment in formations as well.    

Furthermore, many formations guilds in the Imperial Capital had invited Xiao Qing.    

It was just that Xiao Qing thought highly of herself and disdained joining these guilds. However, many people knew that Xiao Qing was also an array master.    

Xiao Qing stared at the lightning formation in front of her for a while. She frowned tightly. "What a complicated formation. It seems to not be powerful, but it can kill all living beings that step in. Moreover, attempting to break through it will trigger other killing formations. I wonder what is hidden in this palace that is worth protecting like this."    

After analyzing the lightning formation for a while, she felt dizzy.    

Perhaps only the famous array masters of the previous generation in the Imperial Capital could break this formation.    

Breaking through, Xiao Qing saw Lu Yu raise his foot and step into the lightning formation!    

"Are you courting death? Breaking in arbitrarily, a slight carelessness might trigger another killing formation!" Xiao Qing hurriedly retreated. At the same time, she'd condensed a protective barrier around her entire body with the last bit of magic power she possessed earlier.    

In an instant, a layer of translucent wall of light enveloped Xiao Qing's body, and it firmly protected her.    

With this, this kid was surely dead.    

Xiao Qing carried Xiao Ling'er on her back, and she prepared to hide a little further away so as to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.    

But right at this time, Xiao Qing suddenly felt that something was wrong.    

After Lu Yu stepped into the lightning formation, the power of the lightning formation suddenly weakened.    

The range of the sea of lightning was also rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

In the blink of an eye, the sea of lightning had shrunk into a ball of lightning that was held in Lu Yu's hand.
