Tang Ru said comfortingly, "The plan went smoothly. We have safely infiltrated the evil cultivators. Fellow Daoist Xi was also mistaken for a weapon refiner and will be taken to cooperate with that evil cultivator. He has memorized the map and does not know the weapon refiner's identification method, but he can still find the secret treasure in the Stonehenge. Xiaoxiao, don't worry too much."
Chen Xiao turned around and forced a smile: "Well, you are right."
No matter how much he believed in Xi Yunting's ability, Chen Xiao couldn't help but worry. The change in his identity brought about a huge change in his mood. The situation on his brother's side was unclear, and he felt uneasy and worried, and even had trouble controlling himself from thinking about bad things. This uneasiness made him anxious.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiao forced himself to focus on the matter at hand. It was he who came up with the idea, and he must be responsible for the safety of his companions.
Chen Xiao sat cross-legged in front of Tong Nonuo. Tong Nonuo stretched his neck towards him, and Chen Xiao raised his hand and placed it on the ring on his neck.
Tang Ru couldn't hide her nervousness. She asked, "Is it possible?"
Chen Xiao said in a deep voice: "The energy running in my body is completely different from the true energy. I have confirmed this repeatedly with my elder brother. So, there should be no problem... Look, it's open!"
The Soul Locking Ring is aimed at the person who is locked up, but it is not difficult to take it off, as long as there is energy to activate it.
Tong Nuonuo took the ring that Chen Xiao had taken off, and looked at him with contempt: "The restrictions made by the weapon refiner are just like this. If it were me, I would not only have a switch that uses energy, but also a mechanical lock - the kind with a composite key, which would definitely not be able to be opened."
The ring on Tang Ru's neck was also untied, and he said to Tong Nuonuo: "We should be thankful that they used a magic weapon this time."
Tong Nuonuo said: "Even if it is a mechanical lock, I can open it."
Chen Xiao put the ring on his body aside and said to the two people: "Stop talking nonsense, and see if you can break the spell on the door."
Tang Ru jumped up quickly and used her true energy to gently test the sealing spell on the door. She nodded: "It can be broken, but I'm afraid it will alert the evil cultivator."
Tong Nuonuo held the mechanism box horizontally in front of him and said, "Don't rush out. I need to make some preparations first. I think the level of the four evil cultivators I have seen so far is not something we cannot deal with."
Tang Ru raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Tong Nuonuo fiddled with the parts in his hand without even looking up. "Let's not talk about Peng Biao and Qi Lian. That Wan Chengzhang has weak steps and a sickly look on his face. He doesn't have any fighting power at all. In this way, we only have to deal with four people. Even if Fellow Daoist Xi can't defeat the envoy for the time being, it will be no problem to contain him."
Tang Ru agreed and said, "That's right. I have a few special seeds in my hand that can be used with Mirage to set a trap. Qilian spiritual cultivators use mental attacks, and this type of trap is perfect for him, so it's best to use it to trap him."
Tong Nuonuo nodded heavily: "In this case, the only ones we need to fight head-on are Peng Biao and the weapon refiner we haven't met yet."
Chen Xiao always felt that things were not that simple.
He said, "Don't underestimate anyone who doesn't know his background. I know you look down on Wan Chengzhang, but no matter what, he is also a Jindan, and his realm alone is far ahead of those of us who have established our foundation. Moreover, according to my current observation, each of the four people under the evil cultivator has his own responsibilities. The weapon refiner is here to crack the location of the secret treasure, Qilian is guarding the stone formation, and Peng Biao is out buying supplies. So the question is, what does Wan Chengzhang do?"
Tong Nuonuo paused, and looked up at Chen Xiao with a strange expression: "Now that you put it that way, could it be that Wan Chengzhang is the 'that' of the envoy?"
Ever since he found out that Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting were together, he was too embarrassed to say words that involved an ambiguous relationship in front of Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao coughed and shook his head, saying, "Not really. Otherwise, Peng Biao would not dare to show off his eloquence in front of the envoy and want to cause trouble for Wan Chengzhang." Tong Nuonuo scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. You can't blame him for thinking wrongly, because Wan Chengzhang's weak appearance, hollowed out by alcohol and sex, is too misleading.
Chen Xiao said: "In short, we still need to pay attention to Wan Chengzhang."
Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru nodded to show that they understood.
Tong Nuonuo assembled the mechanism in his hand and said, "So when do we rush out?"
They had considered this when planning their plan, and how to escape if they were caught and imprisoned. However, it was difficult to grasp the timing, so they needed to be flexible.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I want to try to see if I can bribe Peng Biao to let us go."
Tang Ru was stunned and said hesitantly, "That's unlikely, right? Peng Biao seems to be afraid of the envoy and is unlikely to betray him for money."
Chen Xiao said: "It doesn't have to be to the point of betrayal. What if we just ask him to speak well of us? I know his plea won't work, but what if we can provide additional help?"
Tong Nuonuo frowned: "What kind of help?"
Chen Xiao pointed at himself, then at Tong Nuonuo: "As a Feng Shui master, I have a special role in treasure hunting. And you are a mechanical master who doesn't get along with the weapon refiners, and some things are the same in weapon refiners and mechanical masters. Didn't you see at once that those lines were maps?"
Tang Ru said, "This method is not impossible. But what should we say? Moreover, two special main positions suddenly appeared among the three people. This coincidence is too strange. The envoy will definitely be suspicious."
The three people were frowning here, and the sealing spell on the door was suddenly lifted. They were so scared that they quickly put the ring back on their necks. Chen Xiao was the slowest, so Tang Ru rushed over to help him.
So when Peng Biao opened the door, what he saw was Tang Ru lying on Chen Xiao, with both hands still tightly holding the ring.
Peng Biao was surprised, and then he said mockingly: "Why, you still want to take off this soul-locking ring and escape from here?"
Chen Xiao pushed Tang Ru aside and stood up, pretending to be flustered as if he was caught by accident, "No, I and others would never dare to have such thoughts."
Peng Biao sneered and stopped pestering him. He was well aware of the power of this Soul Locking Ring. Many captured weapon refiners were unable to remove it. He simply did not believe that these wilderness bandits had the ability to do so. If they had that ability, they would have already become successful. Why would they still stay in Su Xuan?
He said in a cold voice: "Everyone get up and follow me."
Chen Xiao asked: "Where are you going?"
"Stonehenge." Peng Biao's tone was full of unmistakable interest. "The weapon refiner you brought said that one of you is a mechanical engineer. Who knows, he might make some discoveries, or at least offer some suggestions. But I think he probably just wants to use you to fill in the dangerous cracks in Stonehenge."
Peng Biao thought Xi Yunting said this for revenge, and when he saw the surprised expression on Chen Xiao's face, his evil taste was satisfied.
Peng Biao never expected that once this weapon refiner came to his doorstep, Bai Jiguang would make great progress under his guidance. Although he wanted to get the treasure that Chen Xiao promised him, if the secret treasure in the Stonehenge was found, they could leave this hellhole and get a large reward. In comparison, the tribute that Chen Xiao promised to him was nothing.
So at this moment, Peng Biao no longer cared about the lives of Chen Xiao and his gang. However, it would be nice if he could get some benefits from them before they died.
Peng Biao accepted the magic weapons that Chen Xiao stuffed into his hands with a clear conscience and told Chen Xiao everything he knew. He thought he was very kind, at least he let the other party be a ghost who knew everything.
Chen Xiao was afraid that he would not be able to maintain the expression on his face and Peng Biao would notice something was wrong, so he kept his head down and followed him.
He was actually very surprised. He didn't expect that he and his elder brother had such a good rapport and achieved their goals using almost the same method. If he hadn't been out of danger and couldn't fully enjoy the amazing tacit understanding, he would have been unable to stop himself from grinning.
Leaving the cave and arriving at the foot of the mountain, they traveled through the Stonehenge along a specific route.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, I saw the person waiting at the foot of a square stone mountain.
Chen Xiao's eyes immediately found Xi Yunting, his chest filled with boiling emotions. Although they had only been separated for a short period of time, Chen Xiao missed him terribly.
Xi Yunting originally maintained an expressionless and cold look, but after a while he seemed to be melted by Chen Xiao's gaze, and his eyes became warm.
Tang Ru saw that something was not right, so he stepped forward and pinched Chen Xiao on the back. Chen Xiao's back trembled, and he quickly restrained himself and lowered his eyes.
At this moment, the envoy asked, "Didn't you say before that you were willing to serve me? Now it depends on your performance."
Chen Xiao knew that they should show fear, reluctance and resistance at this moment. However, he was not an award-winning actor, so he could not make such a rich expression. He could only lower his head, hunch his shoulders, and said "yes" in a low voice.
The envoy didn't seem to care about their feelings. He waved his hand and said, "That mechanical engineer, go to the front!"
Tong Nuonuo and Chen Xiao looked at each other and rubbed their hands on their clothes. Chen Xiao noticed that Tong Nuonuo seemed to have hidden something there, and then he remembered that he didn't have time to put the mechanism he had just made into the mechanism box, so he stuffed it into his clothes.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly, and Tong Nuonuo walked past him.
Tong Nuonuo personally organized the lines into a complete map. That night, he worked on it without sleep. He was very familiar with every outline on it.
He faced the empty front, his face showing excitement and excitement. He couldn't help but be excited when he thought about getting this secret treasure before the weapon refiner. Especially since there was a weapon refiner behind him who was kept in the dark, the excitement was doubled.
Tong Nuonuo walked forward without hesitation, while the weapon refiner Bai Jiguang stared at his back gloomily.
