Chapter 203 Everything is ready except the east wind. Where is Xiao Teng? Something unexpected happened
Before Jiang Lan left the dungeon, he handed the blood spirit gem transformed by the Wanling blood puppet to Ye Shiyan. He left a wisp of his divine consciousness in it as a spatial coordinate for the next plan.
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
At this time, on the other side, in the dungeon where Lou Taki was imprisoned, a figure masked in gray gauze sneaked in silently.
The disciples who were in charge of guarding both sides of the corridor felt a pain in their sea of consciousness, and then their eyes went dark, and they fell to the ground with a thud.
"who?"
Lou Taki, who was imprisoned in one of the cages with her cultivation sealed, was meditating with her eyes closed. Upon hearing the noise, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked over.
She was a little confused and was about to ask, but she saw the masked figure in gray gauze walking towards her quickly and making a hushing gesture.
A short blade flashing with cold light appeared in his hand. With a swish, the cage chain made of thousand-year-old black iron broke with a snap and fell to the ground.
After all, Lou Long's cultivation is stronger than Xiao Teng and others. She is the only one imprisoned here, and there are many disciples patrolling back and forth, so the guard is very strict.
When she saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, her heart suddenly became excited.
"Where is the elder guarding outside?" she stood up and asked quickly.
A figure with a gray veil on his face walked into the cell and deliberately lowered his voice, "Palace Master, the elders who were guarding the patrol outside have all been dealt with. The State Master has learned about what happened in the Goddess Palace and is rushing here."
"He is worried that something unexpected will happen to Young Master Xiao Teng. Jiang Lan is a man of deep scheming and terrible methods, so we must be on guard. Therefore, he ordered this servant to rescue the Palace Master first."
"When the time comes, Palace Master, you will take Young Master Xiao Teng and the others and leave first. The Imperial Master will take care of the rest of the affairs at the Goddess Palace and then come to join you."
Hearing this, Lou Long's face was filled with excitement, his eyes revealing deep love and emotion, and he murmured, "Qixing, I knew you would come to save us..."
After all, she was the palace master, not an ordinary person, so she quickly calmed down and looked at the masked woman in front of her, asking, "Who are you? Why don't you show me your true face?"
The masked woman seemed to have known that she would be suspicious, and immediately said, "It is difficult to explain my identity at the moment, but please rest assured, Palace Master, my loyalty and respect for the Imperial Master have never changed."
"Back then, he had predicted that there would be a major change in the Goddess Palace in the future, and that the lives of you, Palace Master, and Young Master Xiao Teng would be in danger, so he planted a hidden chess piece like me in the Goddess Palace in advance, ready for any emergency."
Hearing this, Lou Long's expression became uncertain, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
"Qixing has unpredictable means and can tell fortunes. There is nothing in the past or the future that he cannot predict."
Then she took a deep breath and regained her composure.
The masked woman took out a sandalwood box from her bosom and handed it to Lou Long, saying, "Palace Master, this is something that the State Master has prepared long ago. It's called Haoyu Xingxixiang, and it's said to be extracted and refined from some strange star remains. Once a cultivator inhales it, even if they are at the eighth level, they will be affected. They will lose their cultivation for half an hour and become an ordinary person, at the mercy of others. A cultivator at the seventh level will need at least several days to dissolve it."
"At the beginning, the Imperial Master specifically told me to hand this item over to you at the critical moment."
Hearing this, Lou Long was shocked. Is there such a mysterious and terrifying medicine in this world?
However, judging from the name, it should be related to the Ancient Star Sect, and it is very likely one of the treasures that Ge Qixing obtained.
"He didn't tell me about such a precious and terrifying thing, but told you instead."
She did not take it, but stared at the masked woman in front of her, with a deep shadow flashing in her eyes.
The masked woman seemed to have cold sweat on her forehead, and hurriedly explained, "Palace Master, please don't misunderstand. The Imperial Master knows that this disaster will happen to you and the young master. If you know it in advance, it will inevitably reveal the secret and bring about greater variables..."
"Yeah?"
Lou Long calmed down a little, and then he took the sandalwood box from her hand. After opening it, he found a small white jade bottle and a smaller square wooden box.
Two round purple pills were quietly placed inside the small wooden box, filled with mist and a faint fragrance, which were obviously antidotes.
"My cultivation is sealed by that old man Zhuang Feihua, but I have already refined most of it secretly. You protect me, and I can call upon some magic power. When the time comes, I will use a secret technique to break the seal in three hours at most." Lou Long accepted the sandalwood box, then calmed himself down and spoke.
"Palace Master, there is no need to do this. I have a forbidden-breaking talisman here. I got it a few years ago and have been keeping it carefully on me."
"With this forbidden-breaking talisman, breaking the old palace master's seal shouldn't be a problem."
The masked woman said as she presented a golden paper talisman that seemed to flash with the light of thunder. It contained a terrifying power like a thunder pool. Just feeling it casually would make people change color and feel terrified.
Lou Long narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, "Who are you? The forbidden-breaking talisman is extremely precious, and the method of refining it has been lost. It can break the seal set by the great power of the Eight Realms, and its power is even more terrifying. Even if there is only one, it is priceless and inestimable. How dare you offer it?"
The masked woman seemed a little hesitant when she heard this, then she gritted her teeth and said, "To be honest, Palace Master, I am offering this item for a reason. I want to beg you to agree to my request."
"You said..." Lou Long stared at her coldly.
The masked woman said, "Thanks to the help of the Imperial Master, I was able to avoid being tarnished by the thieves. I will always remember this kindness in my heart. My family also enjoyed wealth and glory thanks to the care of the Imperial Master."
"I helped the Palace Master escape today. I will definitely not be able to stay in the Goddess Palace anymore, so I would like to ask the Palace Master to take me in. I want to serve the State Master in the future to repay the State Master's kindness..."
Lou Long narrowed her eyes, and when she heard the last part, a ray of coldness flashed in them, but she restrained it well, and then said expressionlessly, "No problem, it's just a small matter, I promise you."
Hearing this, the masked woman was overjoyed and respectfully presented the talisman to him.
Lou Long took the ban-breaking talisman and, without much mana to manipulate it, transformed it into a ray of bright lightning, which pierced through his dantian spiritual sea.
Suddenly there was a loud bang in the spiritual sea, like the breaking of ice.
She let out a muffled groan, her body trembled, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Then, a surging surge of magic power came like a river bursting its banks, flowing through her limbs and bones. The powerful feeling made her smile, and she finally felt relieved.
"Congratulations to the Palace Master for recovering his cultivation." Upon seeing this, the masked woman hurriedly congratulated him.
Lou Long shook off the dust on his robe and nodded, "Thanks to your help. I will remember this favor..."
The masked woman led the way and said, "Palace Master, there is no time to lose. Young Master Xiao Teng is probably in danger..."
"puff……"
However, before she could finish her words, she staggered and flew out like a torn sack, hitting the wall of the corridor in front of her directly, and the blood instantly dyed her veil red.
"Palace Master, you..."
She stared at Lou Taki with her eyes wide open, filled with disbelief and anger.
Lou Long had a blank expression on his face. He slowly closed his palms and said, "In the next life, I will definitely repay you for your kindness, but you know too much. If you don't show your true face to others, it means you have something to hide. I hate those who hide their true face the most."
The masked woman smiled miserably, blood gushed out of her mouth, completely soaking her veil, and soon she became silent.
Lou Long walked forward and lifted her veil, revealing a pretty face she had never seen before. She pulled at her jaw and found that it was not a human skin mask, then shook her head.
She originally wanted to destroy the body with a palm, but she was worried that the noise would be too loud and would attract other people. It would be troublesome, so she stepped over the body and quickly left the dungeon.
Soon, she found the dungeon where Lou Xinyu, Xie Jianjia and others were imprisoned. She easily dealt with the disciples and elders who were guarding them, broke open the cages that held them, and took them away.
Time was running out and she didn't have much to explain.
Lou Long could see that her son Xiao Teng liked both Lou Xinyu and "Xie Jianjia" very much. He would need someone to take care of them during the upcoming escape, and the two were indeed good candidates, so she was also very satisfied.
"There is a teleportation array in the back mountain of the Goddess Palace. Although it is no longer usable, the space there is not stable. After rescuing Teng'er, we can tear open the space there and escape..."
Lou Long quickly formulated the next plan in her mind. With her cultivation level and familiarity with the Goddess Palace, she easily led Lou Xinyu and others to the back mountain.
She planned to send a few people over first and wait there, while she herself swallowed the antidote for Hao Yuxing Xixiang and rushed to the Holy Spring alone.
Just when Lou Long was rushing towards the Pure Heart Holy Spring in the Goddess Palace, Jiang Lan appeared in the dungeon where she had been imprisoned before.
He looked at the masked woman who was already lifeless on the ground, shook his head slightly, then walked forward and picked her up. With a whoosh, his figure flashed and disappeared here.
A moment later, in another magnificent palace, Jiang Lan stuffed a pill into the masked woman's mouth, gave her some tea, and patted her back and stroked her chest.
After a few breaths, she began to show signs of life. She opened her eyes, coughed violently several times, spat out some blood, and then slowly woke up.
“Wuwuwu…”
"Sir, that Lou Long is such a vicious woman. She really didn't hold back. She is so cruel."
Fa Miaoyin threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face, gritting her teeth and filled with hatred.
"Since you want the Yaoguang Fairy Jade, what does it matter if you suffer a little bit?" Jiang Lan smiled and patted her on the back.
Fa Miaoyin said in a hateful voice, "I thought you were just talking before, but I didn't expect that woman really wanted to kill me. I have already dispelled her concerns and suspicions."
As she spoke, her posture and facial features changed and returned to their original appearance.
This was naturally the method of changing bones and shapes that Jiang Lan taught her, which came from the memory of the original protagonist Lin Fan.
Ordinary means would definitely not work if one wanted to deceive an eighth-level being like Lou Long, so Fa Miaoyin had already swallowed a fake-death pill long ago. If there was no antidote, then she would be truly dead.
If she didn't have complete trust in this kind of medicine, she wouldn't dare to take it carelessly.
"It hurts so much. I don't know how many ribs I broke after she slapped me. Fortunately, I have your Immortal Yuan Armor..."
Fa Miaoyin reluctantly took off the set of Dragon and Phoenix Fairy Armor.
This is the wedding day of Jiang Lan and Emperor Xia. The low-grade spiritual treasure given by Grandpa Li Ran can easily withstand a palm strike from an Eighth Realm Mighty One.
Otherwise, with Fa Miaoyin's level of cultivation, it would be basically impossible for her to survive Lou Long's sneak attack.
Her background is far less profound than Jiang Lan's.
"Let's wait and see what's to come."
Jiang Lan was only lending her the armor for a while and would definitely not give it to her, otherwise she would not be able to explain to Emperor Xia in the future.
"The fun should have already begun. Master is so smart, she will definitely react later..."
"But considering the hatred between her and Lou Long, she will definitely not let Lou Long escape safely."
Fa Miaoyin swallowed a lot of pills to recover from her injuries and soon felt more encouraged. With Jiang Lan helping her from behind, the Yaoguang Fairy Jade would surely be in her pocket.
"Now that your injury has healed, don't keep lying on me."
Jiang Lan stood up and walked outside the hall, looking towards the mountain behind the Goddess Palace.
Fa Miaoyin gave him a resentful look, then came to his side and looked over, excitement hidden in her eyes.
At this time, in the back mountain of the forbidden area of the Goddess Palace, at the Pure Heart Holy Spring, the old Palace Master Zhuang Feihua collapsed to the ground with blood oozing from her mouth. The many elders around her also lost their cultivation and could not even stand steadily. They fell to the ground and looked ahead with anger.
"This Haoyuxing Xixiang is indeed a good thing. Even you, Master, were affected after inhaling it."
Lou Long looked coldly at the elders who had lost their cultivation and spoke with a sneer.
She swallowed the antidote in advance, and when she was fighting with Zhuang Feihua, she spread the fragrance. As expected, everyone was hit and soon lost their combat effectiveness.
The master who had easily suppressed her in the past was now like a fish on the chopping board.
"Lou Taki, how did you escape..."
Zhuang Feihua stared at her intently, still unable to believe it until now. She had no idea where Lou Long got the miraculous medicine that could make all of them lose their cultivation silently.
Lou Long sneered, "For the sake of our past friendship, I, Master, will let you go today. From now on, I will have no contact with the Goddess Palace, and you will not be able to steal my son's things..."
Xiao Teng, who had one hand immersed in the Holy Spring of Purification to let blood, has now regained consciousness.
He didn't know what was going on, but seeing his biological mother Lou Long right in front of him, he couldn't help but get excited and couldn't help shouting, "Mother..."
"Teng'er..."
Lou Long's body trembled. Today was the only true reunion between mother and son. She took out another antidote for Haoyuxing Xixiang and fed it to Xiao Teng. She said, "This is your father's arrangement. Soon our family of three will be truly reunited."
Xiao Teng felt that as soon as the pill entered his body, his cultivation that had been silently dissipating was gathered together again. This feeling was very magical, and his whole body was filled with strength. He couldn't help but feel surprised.
“Master…”
"No, he is my father after all...it's not surprising that he has such means."
Xiao Teng accepted his life experience very quickly. After all, he had doubted before whether his father was Xiao He.
Moreover, in comparison, Xiao He pales in comparison to the powerful national teacher Ge Qixing.
He had always admired and worshipped his master Ge Qixing, but now that he knew that he was his biological father, his emotions and feelings were very complicated.
"Let's leave the Goddess Palace first, and when your father arrives, we will reunite with him."
Lou Long did not reminisce with Xiao Teng at this time, but instead seized the opportunity to escape. After all, what happened here might soon attract the attention of other people in the Goddess Palace.
In addition to Zhuang Feihua, there are actually two other master-level figures in the Goddess Palace whose strength is no less than Zhuang Feihua.
In addition, Ji Xuanxin is no pushover either, and his cultivation strength is no weaker than hers.
With the previous experience, the fragrance of Haoyu Star would no longer play any role. As long as one concentrated his breath and did not inhale it, he would not be affected by it.
Afterwards, Lou Long no longer cared about the elders here and took Xiao Teng to another place in the back mountain, where Lou Xinyu and others were also waiting for Xiao Teng.
“Senior Sister…”
"You actually escaped."
“Where are you going!”
Just at this moment, a cold and delicate cry was heard, and a figure with fluttering skirt came across the sky with a sword in hand.
Ji Xuanxin's jade-white face was filled with frost and murderous intent. She never thought that Lou Long could escape from the dungeon.
"Xuan Xin, concentrate your mind and don't breathe."
Seeing this, Zhuang Feihua hurriedly reminded.
Without the master saying much, Ji Xuanxin had already guessed what was going on. He held his breath instantly, and the jade sword in his hand shone with a cold light. He slashed out a terrifying streak of light and killed towards Lou Long.
"Teng'er, don't worry about me, take the others away first."
"With your father here, the Goddess Palace won't dare to do anything to me."
Lou Long didn't expect Ji Xuanxin to find out so quickly. At this time, he could only let Xiao Teng go first and he would delay and guard the rear.
"Mother……"
Xiao Teng gritted his teeth. He was also very decisive. He knew that with his cultivation level, staying here would only hinder him. He immediately headed towards the agreed location without looking back.
He had the Star-Moon Boat with him, so it was easy for him to break through the void and escape.
"Where are you going?"
Ji Xuanxin was cold as ice. When he was about to catch up to stop Xiao Teng, he was stopped by Lou Long. The two of them started fighting instantly. Years of grudges and personal hatreds broke out at this moment.
The huge commotion here soon attracted the attention of other elders of the Goddess Palace.
Lou Long knew that time was running out, so he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and used a secret blood-dyeing technique that he had learned from the ancient Star Sect ruins. His long hair instantly turned white and his aura instantly increased several times.
A huge phantom of a star appeared behind her and gradually solidified. The light of the vast star came like a long wind, covering the sky and drowning her.
Seeing that she was going to fight him to the death, Ji Xuanxin's face changed, and he instantly avoided the attack and retreated backwards.
"burst……"
Lou Long was filled with murderous intent. She didn't care about anything at this moment and burned her blood and essence. The stars transformed by Taoism were majestic and magnificent, far surpassing any mountains, and condensed above her head.
Then there was a loud explosion. The terrifying light and heat were indescribable and radiated all over the sky at once. Even the barrier of the void seemed to be illuminated as bright as day.
"Mother……"
Looking at this shocking scene, Xiao Teng's eyes were bloodshot and his teeth were clenched. He could only suppress the hatred and grief in his heart. He vowed to massacre the Goddess Palace with blood in the future. Then he controlled the Star Moon Boat, tore open the void, and quickly escaped with Lou Xinyu and others.
Jiang Lan and Fa Miaoyin, who were watching the show in the palace, watched this astonishing scene from afar. As if they were belatedly realizing it, they rode the divine rainbow to rush over.
"what happened?"
The other elders and disciples of the Goddess Palace were also shocked and hurried to the back mountain.
"Is it in the back hills?"
At the same time, an old woman with white hair, a wrinkled face and a snow-white dress who was sitting quietly in a stone chamber was suddenly awakened. Then she stood up with a little confusion, pushed open the stone chamber and walked out.
Her aura was very strange, seemingly ordinary, yet also like a deep abyss, as if she was one with the heaven and earth. The patterns on her robes were also full of strange and ancient meanings, as if she was not a person of this world. She gave people a feeling of standing under an ancient starry sky.
"It's been so many years since my Goddess Palace has been so chaotic."
The old woman in snow-white clothes disappeared out of thin air, and the next moment she appeared in the back mountain where there was a mess of ruins.
She looked at the scene before her and sighed softly. The heaven and earth seemed to be shrouded and locked by a terrible will. All the elders and disciples were instantly unable to move, and even the sound of the wind stopped.
"You are..."
"Grandmaster?"
Zhuang Feihua, who was covered in blood beside the Holy Spring of Purification, burst into tears the moment he saw the old woman in snow-white clothes. He was so excited that his voice trembled.
Not far away, Ji Xuanxin was injured, and in one of her hands, she was holding Lou Long, who looked much weaker.
Many elders and disciples still didn't understand what was going on. Weren't they trying to take something out of Xiao Teng's body? Why was there such a big commotion? Where was Xiao Teng at this moment?
"Master, what just happened?"
Fa Miaoyin rushed over quickly, her face full of surprise and shock.
"It seems something unexpected happened."
Behind her, Jiang Lan followed slowly and sighed softly when he saw this scene.
Ji Xuanxin looked unhappy. He grabbed Lou Long and came in front of the elders, explaining, "I don't know how Senior Sister managed to escape from the dungeon."
"When I went on patrol, I discovered something unusual, and then I went to the dungeon to check, and I found that my senior sister was missing."
"In addition, even the dungeon where Lou Xinyu and others were imprisoned was destroyed. I guessed that there might be a problem in the back mountain, and I encountered this scene when I rushed over."
"I underestimated Lou Long's methods and fell into her trap. I accidentally inhaled a colorless and odorless substance and lost my cultivation."
"Xiao Teng was rescued by her..."
At this time, Zhuang Feihua came over here, coughing, supported by several other elders.
