Four-thousand-year-old Fortune Carp Mu Yu descends to the mortal world to work. Her goal is to assist a wise ruler, gather dragon energy, and leap through the Dragon Gate!
She accidentally be...
Chapter 106: Little Fisherman's Remote Skill Transfer is So Exciting!
The study of Princess Anguo's residence.
Mu Yu lay on the table, her little head nodding, looking like she was about to fall asleep.
Yan Ziche and Xie Zhiwei stared intently at the map on the table.
On the map, the two red circles representing the dry well complex in the east of the city and the smelting workshop in the north of the city have faded.
This means that Mu Fang and Xiao Beichen have succeeded.
However, on Mu Yu's "ghostly talisman," after the "small circles" formed by the two array eyes were extinguished, the black threads connecting them did not disappear, but their light was greatly diminished.
“No, breaking two of the branch array eyes will slow down the rate at which the earth energy is lost, but it won’t have much impact on the main array,” Yan Ziche said, frowning.
He looked at the still-lit red circle on the map, representing the mass grave in the west of the city, with deep concern.
"Why is there still no movement from His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
Xie Zhiwei also looked worried: "The mass grave has the heaviest yin energy and is the place with the most evil energy among the three major transport nodes. I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."
Just then, Mu Yu, who had been dozing off, suddenly jolted awake and sat up straight.
"Ninth Brother!" she exclaimed, her big eyes filled with anxiety.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyuer?" Yan Ziche asked hurriedly.
"Ninth Brother... Ninth Brother has encountered a really, really powerful bad guy!"
Mu Yu pointed to the location of the mass grave on the map, almost crying with anxiety.
"That villain is black! Blacker than a spider web! It's hitting Ninth Brother! Ninth Brother's golden light is diminishing!"
In her vision through her Eye of Fortune, the brilliant golden light representing Chu Chongjin was being frantically eroded by a terrifying dark evil energy, and its light was dimming at a visible speed.
The enormous black spider web, far from being damaged by the destruction of the other two nodes, began to accelerate the gathering of the surrounding forces towards the mass grave and the central main array eye!
Yan Ziche and Xie Zhiwei exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes.
Something's happened!
"Oh no, this is a trap!" Yan Ziche realized instantly.
"The enemy deliberately exposed these three nodes in order to divide our forces, concentrate our advantages, and set up an ambush at the mass grave to kill the Ninth Prince!"
"Their true target, from the very beginning, was the Ninth Prince's true dragon aura!"
Xie Zhiwei's face also turned pale: "What do we do now? The Duke and Brother Xiao just succeeded, it's too late to get there!"
Yan Ziche paced back and forth anxiously, his brain racing.
"We must find a way to support His Highness the Ninth Prince! But... we have no troops, and even if we did, we couldn't break through the ghost formation in the mass grave..."
"Got it!"
He suddenly stopped and looked intently at Mu Yu.
"Little Yu'er! Listen to me!"
"Could you... lend your good fortune to Ninth Brother?"
Mu Yu paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Okay! How do I borrow it?"
"At the altar, you could directly channel your blessings in, right? That means your power can be transmitted remotely!" Yan Ziche spoke rapidly. "The Ninth Prince possesses the aura of a true dragon, which originates from the same source as your auspicious koi fish power. Theoretically, you should be able to transmit your power to him!"
"But... I don't know where Ninth Brother is!" Mu Yu said anxiously.
"No, you know!" Yan Ziche pointed to the map, "Look here, and feel it with your heart, feel Ninth Brother's aura!"
"Yes, just like when you feel the veins of the water!"
Mu Yu seemed to understand, but the situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to think about it further.
She closed her eyes, and the Koi Fish and Auspicious Cloud Record began to operate at high speed within her small body.
In the sea of consciousness, the clear pond of blessings ripples.
She tried hard to recall the golden light emanating from Chu Chongjin, that warm yet majestic aura.
Gradually, in her perception, the map of the entire capital city became three-dimensional.
Countless blue water veins intertwined with that ugly black spider web.
She saw the embers of fire extinguished in the east of the city, and the evil spirits that had spread in the north.
Ultimately, her "gaze" settled on that gloomy land in the west of the city.
Deep underground, a dazzling golden light was being surrounded and compressed by endless darkness, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Found it!
"Ninth Brother!"
Mu Yu shouted in his heart and mobilized the blessings in his sea of consciousness without hesitation.
The water level in the Blessed Pond has begun to drop at an alarming rate!
A pure and powerful auspicious energy, following the mysterious connection between her and Chu Chongjin, crossed the vast distance and instantly flowed into Chu Chongjin's body!
...
Mass graves, underground mortuaries.
Chu Chongjin is fighting a tough battle.
The power of that Xuan Yin Refined Corpse was beyond imagination. Not only was its physical body incredibly strong, but it could also control the boundless resentment in this place. Every attack it made carried a chilling power that could freeze the soul.
Although Chu Chongjin's True Dragon Qi was its nemesis, it consumed a great deal of energy.
After the fierce battle, he had consumed nearly 70% of the dragon energy in his body, his face was pale, and his breathing had become rapid.
Meanwhile, the Xuan Yin Refining Corpse on the opposite side seemed tireless.
Ling Lan stood to the side, holding a white bone banner, constantly activating the formation and directing the fearless ghost army to harass him from all directions, preventing him from concentrating on dealing with the corpse-refining.
"Give up, Chu Chongjin!" Ling Lan sneered. "In another quarter of an hour, your dragon energy will be exhausted. At that time, you will become the perfect nourishment for my 'King General'!"
Chu Chongjin's eyes turned cold. He gathered his dragon energy again and punched away the approaching corpse. However, he was also shaken by the backlash, causing his blood and qi to surge.
Just then, a warm, pure, and life-giving force surged forth from the depths of his dantian without warning.
This force, like a gentle rain falling from the sky on a parched riverbed, instantly flowed throughout his limbs and bones.
The dragon energy he had originally consumed was being replenished at an astonishing speed by this power!
It is even more refined and magnificent than in its heyday!
Chu Chongjin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst with wild joy.
It's Little Fisherman!
He was all too familiar with this power!
That little girl is so lucky!
She actually managed to transfer the power!
"Hahahaha!" Chu Chongjin couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter filled with joy and pride.
Ling Lan's smile froze on her face: "What are you laughing at?!"
"I laugh at you; you schemed and plotted, yet you overlooked the will of Heaven!"
Golden light burst forth from Chu Chongjin's body, instantly dispelling all the surrounding gloom!
He no longer had any scruples. The powerful dragon energy within him and Mu Yu's good fortune merged perfectly, transforming into an unprecedented and dazzling golden dragon phantom that hovered behind him!
"Linglan, today, this place will be your final resting place!"
"The dragon roars across the nine heavens!"
Chu Chongjin's figure merged with the golden dragon phantom, transforming into a golden pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, and crashed fiercely into the Xuan Yin Refined Corpse!
...
In a secluded mansion in the capital city.
Inside the secret chamber, the Second Prince Chu Xuanji, also known as Sikong Ming, was quietly looking at the golden skull in front of him.
The crimson flames that had been burning in the skull's eye sockets suddenly began to flicker violently, even crackling loudly.
"Um?"
Sikong Ming frowned slightly.
He could sense that two of the three key nodes of the Nine Nether Dragon Devouring Formation had already been removed.
Meanwhile, the most important mass grave node is being impacted by an extremely powerful force.
"That good-for-nothing Ling Lan can't even handle Chu Chongjin?" A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
However, he was not worried.
The Xuan Yin Refined Corpse in the mass grave was his trump card, bestowed upon Ling Lan, enough to wear down Chu Chongjin.
Everything is still in the planning stage.
With Chu Chongjin's death, the Emperor is furious, and the Mu and Xiao families will surely be implicated.
At that time, he will reappear as the "gentle and refined" Sikong Ming, and with a little effort, he will be able to take over all of Chu Chongjin's remaining forces.
As for the Crown Prince and the Third Prince... those two fools were already his for the taking.
A confident smile appeared on his lips.
However, at that moment...
The flames in the golden skull's eye sockets suddenly dimmed, then went out completely with a "poof".
At the same time, the entire sealed room shook violently.
Sikong Ming's smile froze instantly.
He suddenly stood up and stared intently at the golden skull.
"What's going on?!"
He could clearly feel that the connection between him and the Nine Nether Dragon Devouring Formation had been forcibly severed by an external force!
The key point of the formation in the mass grave has been breached!
Ling Lan, and the Xuan Yin Corpse Refining Technique he painstakingly created, are all gone!
"impossible!"
For the first time, Sikong Ming's face turned so ugly.
He knew Chu Chongjin's strength very well. Even with Mu Fang and Xiao Beichen's help, it was impossible for him to break through the three array eyes at the same time in such a short period of time!
Unless... there are variables he is unaware of!
"Mu Yu..."
In an instant, the image of that exquisitely beautiful little figure appeared in his mind.
That little koi fish that everyone considers a lucky charm!
"It's her! It must be her!"
A terrifying killing intent flashed in Sikong Ming's eyes.
He had always thought that the little girl was just a lucky omen, a pawn used by Chu Chongjin to deceive his father.
In retrospect, he was terribly wrong!
That wasn't an auspicious omen at all; it was a huge variable! A threat that could overturn his entire plan!
"Good, very good!"
Sikong Ming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and anger in his heart.
He slowly sat down, his fingers lightly tapping the table, his eyes flashing with cold calculation.
"Chu Chongjin, Mu Yu..."
"Since you all enjoy breaking formations so much, then I'll prepare a dead end for you that you can never break!"
He took out a small black token engraved with a scorpion totem from his pocket.
