The chaos above the sky gradually faded away, and replaced by the arrival of the night.

Regarding Chang'an City, there is a legend among scholars: at midnight, the unbeatable evening drum echoed, knocking on the mysterious door, where the glow of the past is hidden.

The only time when creation appears before humans is midnight.

When it is midnight, the drum sounds and the "door" will open. It begins to patrol its city and clean up any living beings that it judges as ghosts and monsters: those who try to destroy Chang'an.

Not only do people who spread rumors and call it "ghost", but even themselves do not understand when they were born, who created it, nor do they know what their name is.

However, the only memory that is imprinted and flows throughout one's body is to protect this great city. Perhaps this is his lifelong mission and the meaning of existence.

Its huge body penetrates into ancient chaos, enough to devour any rebels and throw them into permanent darkness.

But even so, many people are still fumbled to find a way to defeat it.

People deeply understand its terror, but even this fear cannot overcome the desires in human nature. What makes them fascinated and crazy is the guardian of Chang'an, the mysterious door where it is located.

This "door" leads to too many covetable mysteries: mechanisms, magic, eternal life, time, and... the wisdom of roots.

How many people are buried in the void in order to seek this wisdom? It no longer counts. It should stay in the trash can.

The guardians of Chang'an have never compassioned the little ghosts who provoked Chang'an's authority for their desires and sacrificed their lives.

Even those who fear themselves call themselves Chang'an Urban Management, walk in the void, guard the guardian god who hides secrets deep in Chang'an, and eliminates all the clowns, Zhong Kui.

Although Zhong Kui only starts its movements at noon, today, when the night just came, it poked its huge body out of the "door".

"The power of taboo..."

The sound coming from the void was like Zhong Kui's huge body, and even pressed down on the air around him to tremble.

The huge body like an iron tower, the ancient mechanism creation, symbolizes the traces flowing through endless years.

Zhong Kui's body was filled with strong blue light, like the faint ghost fire in the Nine Netherworld Underworld. If ordinary people saw it, they would definitely be scared to death.

Zhong Kui has no human face, or in layman's terms, it is a "ghost face". Its body is composed of mysterious materials, and the place in the middle of his chest is even more dazzling with a ghost-like magic light, which contains extremely mysterious and powerful power.

Moreover, on its right hand, a magic sickle was firmly grasped, and it also bloomed with azure blue magic energy, with ancient and mysterious patterns engraved on it and inlaid with strange gems.

Zhong Kui was not naked either. On its arms, he was decorated with two skull-shaped armor, which was terrifying; his waist was more like an underworld judge, wearing hard armor.

However, Zhong Kui has no legs, and his entire huge body is floating in the air, walking on the streets of Chang'an, where no one is seen. Once someone catches him, it is difficult not to go to the ghost's side.

"The power of taboo...must be eradicated..."

Murging alone and lonely, Zhong Kui moved towards the center where the power of the demonic path was fluctuating...

At the same time, Lu Yu and Gongsun Li separated and searched for the traces of Ming Shiyin.

However, it was difficult to find the ghostly figure just because of the moonlight. So Lu Yu climbed to the tall buildings in Chang'an City, staring at the quiet ground from high to low.

Of course, Lu Yu's target is not only Ming Shiyin, but also the legendary Chang'an urban manager Zhong Kui.

This time, Lu Yu had a premonition that Ming Shiyin's purpose was not on Wu Zetian, but on Zhong Kui.

However, Lu Yu couldn't say why he had something to do with Zhong Kui. He knew very little about the background of the king and could only rely on his own hands to find the answer.

"Swoosh———"

While searching for the ground, he could hear a sound of breaking through the air behind him. Looking back, he saw the sudden purple light, and Lu Yu immediately dodged from the spot.

"boom!"

A big explosion occurred on the roof of the tall building where purple light fell, and smoke and dust rolled up, and the rubble turned into countless pieces.

"Ming Shiyin!"

He looked up suddenly, but saw Ming Shiyin, Yang Yuhuan and Yixing beside him, staring at him with cold eyes.

"Lu Yu, do you have to care about so many other people's business?"

Ming Shiyin said coldly with a rare display of his fierce expression.

This seemingly ordinary young man has broken through his hexagrams and illusions twice, which is definitely a big trouble for Ming Shiyin.

From the time when he looked down on Lu Yu as a tiny existence as an ant to now having to be alert to his power, this is the first time that Ming Shiyin feels hesitant.

Moreover, the prophetic hexagram has told Ming Shiyin more than once that Lu Yu was the biggest stumbling block on his way to success.

Even when Ming Shiyin wanted to see Qing Lu Yu's future and past through his hexagrams, he just saw an endless abyss.

Lu Yu is the first person who made Ming Shiyin unable to predict or speculate on the future.

"What, do you think I'm annoyed?"

Lu Yu looked directly at Ming Shiyin, without any fear of the obvious murderous intent emitted from him.

"I did look down on it before, but this time, you no longer have any chance to escape."

"Yi Xing."

The sharp light in the corner of his eyes glanced at the young man beside him, and Yixing said respectfully: "I understand."

Immediately, the chess piece in his hand suddenly turned into a thunderous storm, and a huge chessboard suddenly appeared from the void.

The huge chess board, like an infinite universe, turned into a vast sky like a starry sky.

"Come again?"

Lu Yu retreated quickly to escape from the chessboard, otherwise if he was suppressed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, the speed of lightning was entangled by the sudden sound of the piano. For a moment, Lu Yu became much slower.

"Boom----"

Just the moment Lu Yu got rid of the notes, the chessboard in the void had already landed on the top of his head.

Being trapped in the Tianyuan chessboard, the mysterious yin and yang power in the chess game imprisoned Lu Yu, making it difficult for him to move.

"Lu Yu, this is the last chance I'll give you."

Looking at Lu Yu who was in desperate situation, Ming Shiyin sneered.
