"Is Master Feng putting on airs with me? Does he want me to follow the example of the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage before coming out to greet him?" An Honghan's words were full of confrontation.
Xi Xizhi knew An Honghan's character to some extent and rarely saw him in a helpless state.
No matter how many provocative words An Honghan uttered, the people in the wooden house remained unmoved, and the surroundings were quiet, as if nothing existed.
"Why not just break in?" Xi Xizhi couldn't understand An Honghan's abilities and methods.
This clear, crisp voice, like the song of a nightingale, Xi Xizhi's voice carried the childlike innocence of a child, full of naivety and purity.
Upon hearing this, Lynn's eyelids twitched in fright.
Should we barge in?
Miss Xi is truly fearless in her ignorance; she's incredibly bold!
Butler Zhu sighed, "This child is not only good-looking, but his voice is also very captivating."
An Honghan frowned, seemingly very reluctant to answer the question, and pointed to the wooden door, "Take a closer look, you should be able to see the clues."
Xi Xizhi followed the direction of his finger and looked at the door of the wooden house.
A faint, invisible light, like undulating streams of light, tightly enveloped the wooden house.
If you don't look closely, it's easy to overlook.
Xi Xizhi sighed inwardly, this was clearly a barrier!
The characters here are definitely not simple.
"That's the reason." Unless the people inside come out voluntarily, even if An Honghan is the ruler of a country, he can do nothing about it.
Xi Xizhi knew very well that her cultivation was definitely inferior to that of the people inside, and that breaking through the barrier and breaking in was probably still impossible.
Does this mean we've made a wasted trip today?
“Master Feng, now that demons are rampant, it’s time for you to put your skills to use. Don’t you cultivators claim to care about the world? Are you just going to let demons harm people?”
An Honghan's words made perfect sense; anyone with a conscience would surely be willing to lend a helping hand.
But as time went by, there was still no movement inside the house.
Xi Xizhi had only recently taken human form, and most of her spiritual power was used to maintain it. The amount of spiritual power she could use was very small. However, for An Honghan's sake, Xi Xizhi still made a decision. Although it was a bit risky, it was better than waiting to die.
Her master had taught her that every barrier must have a core.
Once the core of the formation is destroyed, any barrier will naturally dissipate.
Xi Xizhi circled the wooden house once, and finally her gaze settled on a lush green bamboo tree next to the house.
A wisp of spiritual energy swirled around Xi Xizhi's fingertips, and the silvery-white light gradually condensed, forming a small whirlwind.
Xi Xizhi raised her small hand and unleashed her spiritual power. It seemed chaotic, but in reality, she had anticipated that the barrier could not be without flaws and had found the gap in the array before throwing out her spiritual power.
Just like a pebble falling into water, the faint protective ring of light resembles the ripples of waves, constantly undulating.
Suddenly, a powerful force surged toward Xi Xizhi.
Xi Xizhi sighed inwardly, realizing she had definitely targeted the wrong key to the formation! Otherwise, how could the barrier attack her for no reason?
Fearing that she would implicate An Honghan, Xi Xi pushed him away and gathered her spiritual energy to prepare to resist the barrier's counterattack.
It was only the instant the spiritual energy clashed with it that Xi Xizhi noticed the difference.
This is not a rebound from the barrier...
In other words, she didn't go to the wrong place! The barrier around the cabin has been broken!
That attack came from—Xi Xizhi looked into the wooden house in disbelief.
Just then, a weathered voice came from inside the wooden house, "You're not skilled enough, yet you dare to break through my barrier? Do you want to die too late and walk right into my trap?"
The voice was old-fashioned and carried a hint of seriousness and rigid murderous intent.
That was the voice that gave Xi Xizhi her first impression.
Xi Xizhi channeled all her spiritual power to form a defensive shield that tightly surrounded herself.
This action surprised everyone present.
As for spiritual power, mortals like An Honghan couldn't sense it, but they could feel a very strong wind...
An Honghan reacted the fastest. Almost the instant Xi Xizhi pushed him away, he understood something and coldly scolded, "It's been a few years, and Master Feng's temper has grown quite a bit! He even dares to harm my people."
Laughter erupted from inside the cabin, seemingly quite interested in what An Honghan had said.
"I thought you were a wise ruler, but I never expected you to be so incompetent and foolish! Are you sure that thing beside you... is...?" a person?
Before Master Feng could finish speaking, An Honghan raised his hand and chopped at the tree next to him. With a crack, the arm-thick branch snapped instantly.
Whether I know it or not is none of your business.
An Honghan's imposing aura was terrifying, causing Lin En and Steward Zhu to shiver. It was the first time they had ever seen anyone dare to challenge His Majesty.
but……
What was that sentence...?
What exactly does the second half of the sentence mean?!
An Honghan's icy aura seemed to corrode everyone's hearts as if it were a tangible substance.
Xi Xizhi tried her best to defend against Feng Zhenren's attack, her whole face scrunched up.
"You don't seem to have much skill, yet you've managed to hold out for so long. That's quite remarkable." The old Taoist priest, dressed in a grayish-blue robe, slowly emerged from the wooden hut. Perhaps because he had worn the robe for so long, it had faded to a grayish-white hue, but it only accentuated his otherworldly and dignified appearance.
Xi Xizhi dared not be distracted at all. She had not been cultivating for very long, and if she did not concentrate on resisting, she would probably be injured to the point of spitting blood immediately.
An Honghan disliked anyone who dared to harm him. Seeing cold sweat dripping from Xi Xizhi's forehead, he was furious. "Master Feng, stop right now! Do you want me to kill all three thousand disciples of your Huiyun Temple before you'll give up?"
Huiyun Temple is the most famous Taoist temple in Fengze Kingdom. Since its establishment, it has produced many highly accomplished Taoist masters.
Huiyun Temple's reputation and prestige far surpass any other Taoist temple, and it has always stood at the highest peak.
As if he had anticipated An Honghan's threat, Master Feng smiled again, "His Majesty's personality remains unchanged; he is not only ruthless in his methods but also cruel in his character."
However, An Honghan's threat clearly had an effect on him.
With a flick of his sleeve, the attacks beneath his hand receded like a tide.
Xi Xizhi sensed the change in the spiritual energy around her. Exhausted, she staggered for a moment before slowly regaining her balance.
He's truly a master!
This person's skill level is probably not far from that of his master.
If one studies diligently, the day of ascension will likely be just around the corner.
"Considering you haven't done anything wrong, I'll let it slide today out of respect for His Majesty. But if you dare to do anything against the will of Heaven, I will not forgive you. Even if His Majesty vouches for you, I will still take you in!"
Master Feng had a serious expression and spoke in a very formal and methodical manner.
