Everyone says not to pick up men casually from the roadside, but Mu Xingchen not...
Chapter 15 Who does she like? Did she listen to his words...
Three Stream Cliffs.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh--" The entire cliff was swept by gusts of cold wind, and the whistling sound in the woods was very loud, tearing the eardrums and causing some discomfort. The leaves in front of my eyes were constantly blown down, forming whirlpools, flying all over the sky, revealing a weird and evil aura in its beauty.
Li Jing looked forward with sharp eyes.
Two auras disappeared at the same time in front of me, and one of them looked so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before...
Just as Li Jing was about to step forward, Xu Cen appeared behind him. He half-knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "Master, something bad has happened to Miss Mu!"
Li Jing stopped and turned back, saying decisively: "Let's go."
After one stick of incense.
Xu Cen half-knelt on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead as he said, "My Lord, this is what happened."
There was no emotion on Li Jing's face, and the whole room was eerily quiet.
Xu Cen lowered his head and dared not speak, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Li Jing said coldly, "You said that she still loves Prince Yan, so she used the spirit stone I gave her to buy medicine, beat the child of Prince Yan's concubine, and then was imprisoned in a dark cell by Prince Yan?"
Xu Cen swallowed nervously and groaned in his heart: Miss Mu, you really hurt me so much. You dare to be fickle even though you have a master.
He wiped the sweat from his face and laughed awkwardly, "Hehehe, Master, well, maybe there's a misunderstanding. What if, what if she's just taking revenge on Prince Yan. This, this can't be blind, right? After all, Miss Mu already has you, the Master, how can she still be interested in others?"
Li Jing frowned, thinking back to the night she had confessed her feelings to him three times in a row. Did she listen to his words and retract her heart, or did she confess her feelings to him while also confessing her feelings to Li Yan...
Li Jing's expression became increasingly ugly.
Xu Cen wiped his sweat. Others didn't know, but didn't he? His master usually didn't express his emotions easily, so when had he ever been so openly angry? It was obvious that he was concerned about Miss Mu.
"Um, my lord, do we need to save people?" he kindly reminded.
Li Jing relaxed his frown, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Tonight, prison break."
Xu Cen's pupils shrank. "Prison break? Tonight? Master..."
Li Jing stared at him calmly, and Xu Cen immediately took back his words and said without stopping, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Li Jing looked at the sky outside the window, his pupils flashing a gloomy color. She was so timid, she wouldn't cry all day in prison, right? Thinking of this, Li Jing came back to his senses and frowned again. Why did he think she would cry? Even if she cried, it was her own fault.
Thinking of this, Li Jing felt a sudden surge of inexplicable irritation in his heart.
Unconsciously, he frowned even deeper. She had saved him twice, so this time he should just repay her. From now on, everything would be clear...
At night, there was no wind and dark clouds covered the moon.
Time passed minute by minute, and those who were supposed to ambush had already done so, waiting for midnight to take action.
Xu Cen squatted beside Li Jing and whispered, "Master, everyone around has been cleared out, and the formation has been set up."
Li Jing said calmly, "Yeah."
Xu Cen continued, "We have all checked everything out. Miss Mu is being held in the middle cell. No one is torturing her, so you don't have to worry."
"What am I worried about?" Li Jing asked coldly.
Qi Feng said speechlessly beside him: "If you are not worried, then why did you bring me, a pharmacist, here in the middle of the night?"
Li Jing's air pressure dropped a bit, and the air around him instantly became several degrees colder. Qi Feng shuddered and begged for mercy, "No, no, no, I know I came here because of Tushan Xu, not Miss Mu. I said the wrong thing, bah, bah, bah..."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——" A strong wind blew, dispersing some of the clouds in the sky, and the moon was faintly visible.
Xu Cen looked at the sky and narrowed his eyes: "It's midnight, let's get started!"
At this moment, Mu Xingchen in the dark cell just woke up. She yawned, stretched, walked to the cell door, then slowly took out the veil to cover her face.
"Now we can start, Xiao Qi, give me back the spiritual power of one incense stick of time."
Xiao Qi agreed, "Okay." After that, the red line on Mu Xingchen's arm disappeared instantly. "Xingchen, pay attention to the time. One stick of incense."
After recovering his spiritual power, Mu Xingchen grasped the spiritual lock without hesitation. The moment the powerful spiritual power was injected into the spiritual lock, the spiritual lock exploded. At the same time, all the spiritual locks in the dark prison began to vibrate "clatteringly", one lock after another echoing each other, the spiritual power in the locks gushed out, then intertwined together, and then became thinner one by one to the extreme, forming dense lines.
Mu Xingchen looked at these thin lines, stopped in time, frowned and said: "It's a formation, and the spirit lock is the foot of the formation." She looked calmly at these intertwined spirit lines with murderous aura. It was obvious that the formation formed into silk threads was completely not of the same level of strength as the one just now.
"Trouble."
Xiao Qi said calmly, "It looks like a Thousand Threads Formation. This must be a formation set up by the masters of the royal family. Xingchen, you and the formation are at the same level of Burning Soul Realm. For now, we can only force our way through."
"Xingchen, don't hesitate, just force your way in." Xiaoqi said again.
"I can get out by myself, but the key is how can Tushan Xu, whose cultivation has been destroyed, get out? And that old man is still here. I have to find the center of the formation."
"You still want to save that old man? Is it too late, Xingchen? Your cultivation level will only recover in three incense sticks of time at most."
"It must be in time." Mu Xingchen crushed the silk threads while looking for the center of the formation and Tushan Xu's position. As he went along, the crushed silk threads recovered in just a breath. Thousands of them were intertwined and endless, and they would be shattered to pieces if they touched a little bit.
At this moment, there was a close combat outside and flames were shooting into the sky.
Fang Yuan looked at the thieves approaching step by step in front of him, and said with a grim face: "Who are you? How dare you break into the secret prison!" After that, he took out the fuse and decisively sent a signal to the sky for help, but unexpectedly, the signal was intercepted before it reached the air.
His expression changed: "What? Disconnect the matrix."
Xu Cen flew in front of him and said with a smile: "Hehe, you didn't expect that, let alone sending a signal, not even a fly can get out."
Fang Yuan's face darkened. The matrix was broken. Within the radius of the formation, people outside could not see or hear what was happening inside. The enemy was clearly well prepared. However, the formation masters who could create this formation were known to the royal family, so it was impossible for them to appear here, unless...
His expression suddenly became even uglier as he said, "You are the Yuegan tribe! How dare you! You dare to intrude into the human realm under the feet of the emperor? Today, I will make sure you never return."
Xu Cen tilted his head and smiled: "Just relying on you trash?"
A tight net was laid all around, and the people in the dark prison were no match for the Yuegan Clan, and now their momentum was about to decline.
Looking at Fang Yuan who was blocking the door, Li Jing said coldly: "If you don't want to die, get out of here."
Fang Yuan's face turned ashen, and a dark blue sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, rushing straight towards Li Jing.
Li Jing had no expression on his face and sent a palm straight forward to meet the attack.
With a loud "bang", Fang Yuan was knocked ten meters away. He half-knelt on the ground with his sword, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and looked up in disbelief.
"It's actually... you... you came in person..."
Li Jing ignored him and rushed straight into the dark prison.
Fang Yuan's face turned pale. It was over, it was over. There was no way to stop it. They could only wait.
Li Jing aimed his palm at the secret door, but unexpectedly the spiritual power was bounced back. Li Jing narrowed his pupils and waved his hand to disperse the spiritual power that bounced back.
At this moment, a faint blue light appeared around the dark prison, surrounding the entire prison, and everyone's faces suddenly changed.
"Who triggered the Thousand Threads Formation! The Thousand Threads Formation triggered the Snow Cape Formation!" Fang Yuan said in disbelief.
Xu Cen and Qi Feng's expressions changed in unison. They asked in unison, "How could this happen?"
The two looked at each other and said, "We are still outside. Who is it?"
Qi Feng held his forehead with his hand. What went wrong? How could the formation be opened in advance? The reason why they didn't rescue Tushan Xu was because of this formation.
The Thousand Threads Formation, once triggered, will become tangled with thousands of threads. Anyone who touches a single thread will be torn to pieces. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the outer formation, the Snow Cape Formation, which was jointly created by several elders of the royal family. Once the formation is activated, people inside cannot get out and people outside cannot get in, like a solid wall.
This formation can be broken by force, but if you do so, the people inside will be strangled instantly, and not even a trace of remains will be found. Therefore, if you want to break the formation, you must find the center of the formation.
But the poisonous design of this formation lies in that the two formations can not only form an independent formation, but also serve as each other's core, one core inside, and one core outside. Both cores must be destroyed at the same time to break the formation. But who among the people inside can break the Thousand Silk Formation...
Li Jing's expression was filled with coldness: "Find the center of the formation."
Xu Cen took a deep breath and said in unison with Qi Feng, "It's too late, my lord! Once the formation is activated, it will definitely alert the royal family! And even if we find the outer core, the inner core will still be there."
"Look for it!" Li Jing said with a cold face, refusing to accept rejection.
Xu Cen gripped the end of his sword tightly and said helplessly, "Yes, I'll go find the center of the formation right away."
Li Jing frowned deeply. If the array center outside was the first array center of the Snow Potassium Array, then after breaking it, the Snow Potassium Array would be weakened by one layer, and he could try to go in alone.
…
The other side.
Mu Xingchen walked into the dark cell while looking for Tushan Xu's location.
Xiao Qi: "The Thousand Threads Array's center is facing inwards, and its spread is eastwards. This is the correct direction to go."
"We've reached the end." Mu Xingchen frowned. She looked at the innermost wall, then felt along the lines, "There's nothing wrong with this wall." After she said that, she turned around. Since there was nothing wrong with the wall, the problem must be with the two innermost cells. She turned her head and looked at the two cells. One of the two cells was empty, and the other had someone in it. In the cell with someone in it, the person was lying on the ground, breathing steadily, as if he was asleep.
Xiao Qi: "Look at the room where no one is."
Mu Xingchen and Xiao Qi were thinking the same thing. Just as she was about to go in, her eyes accidentally caught sight of the lock on another cell. She paused and curled her lips, "No need to go in, I found it."
Xiao Qi sighed, "The center of the formation is actually the lock heart. The lock heart faces inward, and the spiritual power faces outward. Once triggered, it can pull the lock of the entire dark prison, blending in and making it impossible for people to find the center of the formation. This design is interesting. If that's the case, then the empty cell must be a trap. It's quite powerful to use people's hearts like this."
Mu Xingchen stepped forward and was about to destroy the lock when an unexpected voice came from inside: "What are you doing?"
