Chapter 94: Breaking the Array
“Feng-shidie!”
Hearing the voice, Feng Shi turned his head and saw Xue Mei, dressed in red, running toward him.
Behind her were several other Chongshan Sect disciples.
Hearing her call, Feng Shi’s scalp tightened. He hurriedly output spiritual energy to thicken the barrier in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Mei had arrived before him. A snow-white, slender hand patted the barrier. “Feng-shidie, open the door quickly~”
Feng Shi: Fuck! Why is every single one of them targeting him!
“Shijie, calm down a bit!”
“Feng-shidie, let me in. I want to dual cultivate with you~” Xue Mei turned a deaf ear to his words, speaking for herself, her face full of seductive charm.
“Hurry up~ My feelings for you are real~”
Feng Shi, along with Wucheng, retreated several steps, his eyes wide.
Damn it… this one is a real heavyweight as soon as she opens her mouth!
Amidst his shock, he quietly pulled up Xue Mei’s personal information.
Quest Progress: 40%.
Feng Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she was just craving his body.
Beside him, Shen Songhe reached out to steady the unsteady Feng Shi and said gloomily, “Only now does this Master know that there are actually so many people who have feelings for our Xiaoshi…”
Feng Shi: “…Haha.” Could he say that he had only just found out himself?
Xue Mei and the others had just entered and took quite a while to understand the situation. But being unable to control their mouths, they poured out whatever was inside.
Even though Xue Mei was used to being loose with her words and teasing people, she felt incredibly ashamed at this moment.
And behind her, several sisters who originally had a good relationship began to fight as they spoke, arguing incessantly over trivial matters.
Meanwhile, Feng Shi was still facing Xue Mei’s frankness.
During the previous night, he and Shen Songhe had tried incessantly to break through the illusion array. But this array was profound and relied on the continuous spiritual energy in this mountain hollow to maintain itself. It couldn’t be broken by brute force alone; the hidden array core had to be found first.
Xue Mei’s arrival once again stirred the interest of the others below in Feng Shi.
For a time, the dozens of cultivators were divided into two camps. One side wanted to kill Feng Shi to steal the treasure out of jealousy, while the other was his “unrequited love” fan club.
The two sides slaughtered one another, and there were even some who slipped through the net to run in front of Feng Shi and loudly profess their love.
Feng Shi was covered in sweat, hiding everywhere, a bitter smile on his face.
So being a heartthrob was also this exhausting.
Outside the array, a golden lamp emitting a dazzling radiance was suspended in the sky. It watched this scene in the illusion array and let out a cackling laugh. A moment later, it turned and flew away, preparing to look for its next target.
This golden lamp was the artifact that had lured Feng Shi and the others into the illusion array.
However, before it could fly very far, it saw three more people approaching from not far away.
Two of them were dressed in emerald-blue clothes, their faces as pale as paper and their lips like dots of ink. The person in the middle sat on a levitating carriage, with blue jade rings and white light gauze obscuring a graceful figure.
The golden lamp let out a low laugh again, designating these three as its next targets.
It calculated the timing and appeared unexpectedly before the three, dancing to its heart’s content, twisting and turning to imply that it was a good artifact.
The beauty in the carriage indeed opened her eyes. Her brow was slightly lowered, giving her a weak and innocent appearance as her gaze fell gently on the golden lamp ahead.
The golden lamp had also developed a century of spiritual intelligence. This was only the second time it had seen someone with such good looks. However, compared to the previous one, this person’s gender was more to its taste. For a moment, it was dazed by the stare, thinking that simply recognizing this person as its master wouldn’t be bad.
Inside the carriage, Sheng Lan looked at the mid-grade artifact that was acting crazy before her and lifted an eyelid. “…”
“Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, clear the roadblock.”
The golden lamp was shocked: “!!” It! Since when had it become a roadblock!
The two pale-faced attendants beside Sheng Lan responded with a smile and stepped forward to strike at the golden lamp.
The golden lamp didn’t have time to think and turned to run toward the illusion array.
“Wait.”
The beauty’s voice suddenly came from behind. The lamp’s wick brightened, and hope flared in its heart: The beauty must have changed her mind! She discovered I’m a good artifact!
Who would have thought that just as it turned its head, it was caught in someone’s hand the next moment.
Coarse spiritual energy poured into its body, extinguishing the dazzling light atop the golden lamp’s head. Sheng Lan frowned, her voice full of disdain. “Only a mid-grade item, yet so flashy.”
Crack. The golden lamp’s heart broke.
Sheng Lan casually tossed it into the storage belt at her waist. Looking at the slightly distorted space ahead, she said to Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, “There is a large-scale illusion array hidden ahead. That roadblock was just about to lure the two of you in.”
Xiao Yi and Xiao Er both turned their heads to look at the empty mountain hollow ahead; there was nothing there.
But Sheng Lan was one of the few array masters in the cultivation world. It wasn’t strange that she could see what they couldn’t.
“Seeing its skilled behavior just now, it must have already lured many people in. Immortal, what do you think?”
Sheng Lan was too lazy to mind other people’s business, but she happened to see where the array core was at a glance. At the same time, she felt this illusion array was quite interesting, so she said, “The two of you will break the array according to my instructions.”
In Sheng Lan’s eyes at this moment, a semi-transparent giant was squatting between the mountain hollows. Dozens of threads were wrapped around its hands, and it was twitching its fingers with an infatuated face, as if it were controlling something.
Under Sheng Lan’s instructions, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er first severed these threads and then unearthed the array core hidden in the clouds above the mountain hollow, striking it repeatedly to break it.
A massive array pattern rapidly expanded from a point in the clouds, covering the sky above Feng Shi’s head. The array pattern was ever-changing, its rotations dazzling.
As the array pattern appeared, the voices of the people around him gradually faded.
Clearly, everyone had regained their rationality.
And so, the embarrassment caught up.
The field was deathly silent. Even those who were usually silver-tongued had no face to speak at this moment. Most, however, had no energy left to speak and were hurriedly sitting down to adjust their breathing and avoid the embarrassment.
Sensing that the illusion array had been broken, Feng Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He removed the barrier in front of him and slowly landed.
Although he hadn’t personally fought during these two days, just mediating from above was exhausting enough. His spiritual energy was also mostly depleted.
This time, if someone hadn’t helped break the array from the outside, he estimated he could only have used spiritual talismans to forcibly blast this mountain hollow. However, he would have inevitably been injured that way.
Now it was fine. Someone had helped break the array, and everyone felt lucky.
When the edges of the illusion array completely vanished, the true situation in the mountain hollow was revealed.
Sheng Lan supported her head with one hand, sitting askew in the carriage to watch the show. Before she could voice a few words of mockery, she saw a familiar figure among the bedraggled crowd.
Sheng Lan abruptly sat up straight, narrowing her eyes at the sweating Feng Shi not far away, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes.
Feng Shi composed himself and wanted to turn his head to see which kind-hearted powerhouse had helped. Suddenly, he felt a wave of fragrance approaching. When he turned, he saw a cluster of light blue water-sleeves carrying dense spiritual energy whipping toward his face.
And the owner of these water-sleeves was Immortal Sheng Lan, who had flown over.
