Chapter 160: Backfire

Somewhere, in a cave.

A man in black robes was backfired by the flames and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ahem."

"Damn it, someone actually broke my attack."

"Who has such a great ability? Could it be that the national teacher of the Great Xia Dynasty has returned?"

"No, even if that national teacher returned to the capital, my magic should not be broken so quickly."

What on earth is going on?

The man in black robes personally took action and actually failed. This has never happened before.

No, he has to ask someone to investigate what is going on.

Qiao Niannian broke the opponent's magic, and the opponent was backfired. Based on the strength of this spell, Qiao Niannian judged that it should be the person behind it.

This person finally took action himself.

But he could actually attack Xia Rongyu silently, which is very scary.

If she hadn't been here today, Xia Rongyu would have definitely been tricked.

She was curious before, why Xia Rongyu got into trouble when he was fifteen years old. It was impossible for him to die without any movement, given the formation of the national teacher and Wang Xuanzhi.

Now it seems that the other party was well prepared.

Qiao Niannian attacked the other party, and then turned to Xia Rongyu for examination. Xia Rongyu was

fine. Except for the formation that attacked him, there was nothing wrong with him.

Qiao Niannian was also a little strange. She looked at Xia Rongyu, and her eyes fell on the delicate and smooth mutton-fat jade.

This is top-grade jade, and the formation is engraved on it to achieve the best effect.

As a prince, Xia Rongyu naturally used the best jade.

Qiao Niannian had also seen the jade pendant before.

She also used the jade pendant to restore her spiritual power.

I saw a deep crack on the intact mutton-fat jade pendant.

This crack is not right.

Qiao Niannian said: "Take off the jade pendant and let me see it!"

Xia Rongyu took off the jade pendant without hesitation and handed it to Qiao Niannian.

He completely forgot what Master Ji said that the jade pendant should not be easily taken off the body, otherwise it would cause big trouble.

Qiao Niannian looked at the jade pendant and immediately understood.

"The problem lies with the jade pendant!"

Xia Rongyu was puzzled: "Is there a problem with the jade pendant?"

Is there a problem with the master?

This is unlikely.

What could it be?

Xia Rongyu looked at Qiao Niannian with puzzled eyes.

Qiao Niannian explained: "The method of the national teacher is correct, because a small part of your destiny was sucked away when you were young, and the damage is not small. The national teacher gave you a formation to nourish your body, which can indeed slowly make up for your losses."

"But he probably didn't expect that his approach is exactly what the person behind him wants."

"The better your soul is nourished, the more valuable your destiny is, and the greater your value to him."

"And the opponent has a backlash formation with you. Originally, he couldn't accurately capture your position through the backlash formation."

"But you are nourished by spiritual energy. Although you are not a member of the Xuanmen, you have been contaminated with a lot of spiritual energy."

"The opponent can activate the backlash formation, and the backlash formation absorbs the spiritual energy in your body before it can be sensed by the opponent."

"He sensed the formation and established a connection with you, so he can attack you directly."

Qiao Niannian knew that this was the best solution that the national teacher could think of, but this method did give the person behind the scenes an opportunity.

Xia Rongyu did not expect that the other party would activate the counterattack formation to deal with him.

If this is the case, then the other party can attack him whenever they want.

Xia Rongyu thought so and asked so.

Qiao Niannian sighed: "That's right."

"And I'm not sure when the other party will attack you, so you should try to stay with me in the future, and I will protect you."

This is also the only way.

The magic power of the person behind the scenes is not weak. If she does not take action immediately, but waits for others to send a message, she will come over.

The little time wasted can completely allow the person behind the scenes to kill Xia Rongyu directly.

If she comes here, she will only be there to collect the bodies.

Xia Rongyu's eyes flickered when he heard this.

Although he didn't like the fact that someone was always watching his fate and could do something to him at any time.

But if he could always be with Nian Nian, Xia Rongyu suddenly felt that his bad fate was not so bad.

This is a little sweetness in bitterness, and it's the sweetest kind.

He suppressed the smile on his lips and nodded helplessly.

Qiao Niannian looked at the jade pendant and returned it to Xia Rongyu.

"This jade pendant has been cracked, and the formation has been destroyed. If you have good jade here, I can use it to carve a talisman for you. Wearing it can keep you safe and continue to nourish your soul."

Xia Rongyu did not delay and immediately asked someone to bring the jade over, and also asked someone to bring the things that Qiao Niannian needed.

Carving jade was not difficult for Qiao Niannian, especially since she had recovered all her skills. She had finished the carving in an hour.

The talisman she carved was different from others. It was a landscape painting on it, which was lifelike. Not to mention the value, just the painting itself was of extraordinary value.

Xia Rongyu took the amulet and held it in his hand. He felt refreshed. Looking at the painting on it again, he seemed to come alive.

Moreover, looking at this jade pendant makes people feel peaceful, as if nothing can arouse their emotions.

"Niannian, the painting on this jade pendant seems to carry a certain artistic conception, ethereal and uncertain, yet within reach."

Qiao Niannian nodded: "Yes, if you can see through the opportunity inside, you can weaken part of the power of the backlash formation."

Xia Rongyu's eyes lit up with joy, and at the same time, he had a new understanding of Qiao Niannian's ability.

The backlash formation that even the national teacher couldn't do could be weakened by Qiao Niannian with just one painting. He felt a sense of crisis.

Nian Nian was so powerful, didn't it make him look weak?

The Crown Prince, who had been of noble status and extraordinary intelligence since childhood, fell into self-doubt.

Qiao Niannian didn't know what Xia Rongyu was thinking.

On this jade pendant, she injected a trace of the meaning of heaven's punishment. This heaven's thunder, let alone the evil things such as demons and ghosts, even the gods, would be chopped to pieces without leaving any residue, which shows its power.

Xia Rongyu was able to gain insights from the painting, which meant that he gained insights into the way of heaven. Naturally, a small backlash formation could not suppress the luck of the way of heaven and would be weakened accordingly.

The more Xia Rongyu comprehended, the weaker the backlash formation became.

But this depended on Xia Rongyu herself, she couldn't help.

Qiao Niannian had just finished dealing with Xia Rongyu's affairs, and then, another big thing happened.

The current situation became even worse.

Xia Rongyu had just put on the jade pendant when the eunuch serving beside Emperor Jing'an ran in and summoned two people to see the emperor.

The two did not delay and followed the eunuch to the study.

The eunuch almost trotted all the way, and it was obvious from his expression that something urgent had happened.
