Chu Hongluan tried to make conversation: "Why...why hasn't she come out yet?"
“If Junior Brother Li has already started making a scene, he will still have to wait for someone to come and report before the High Priest will go over.” Liu Jinghong turned his head slightly to reply, his voice so soft that it was barely a whisper, and his breathing was extremely restrained.
"Eh... so are we just supposed to wait?"
Liu Jinghong thought for a moment, then took out two crystal-clear fruits from her mustard seed pouch. They were light pink and looked very moist, making them look very appetizing at first glance.
"Want some?"
"What kind of fruit is this?"
"I forgot. I saw them at the market and thought my junior sister might like them, so I bought some."
Liu Jinghong carefully wiped one of the fruits clean with a handkerchief before handing it to her.
Chu Hongluan took it, and with a hint of anticipation, brought it to her lips. One bite, and it was incredibly crisp.
"how?"
"It's delicious." Chu Hongluan chewed slowly, as if savoring it.
"That's good then." Liu Jinghong smiled and picked up another fruit to eat. Chu Hongluan stared at him intently until...
"vomit--"
Chu Hongluan burst out laughing: "Haha... Ugh—"
Both of them were leaning against the rocks, gagging and their faces were almost turning blue. How to describe that fruit? It was crisp, but it tasted like swill...
Having finally recovered, Chu Hongluan immediately reminded him, "Do you still have that fruit in your sac?"
"Hmm, I should have tried one before buying. I didn't realize that appearances can be deceiving, and the same goes for fruit. I guess I'll just throw these fruits away."
"Don't throw it away!" Chu Hongluan stopped his hand. "Take it back and let your junior brothers and sisters try it."
Seeing the gleam in her eyes, Liu Jinghong found it quite adorable and immediately nodded in agreement, adding, "My junior brothers and sisters will like it."
As they were talking, Chu Hongluan suddenly saw a burst of firelight in the direction of the prison, which dyed a corner of the sky red.
......
No way? Li Dazhuang is playing this big?
Hurried footsteps approached, and the two quickly hid. A black-robed guard came running up, panting, shouting, "High Priest! Something terrible has happened! The dungeon is on fire!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the high priest flicked his sleeve and rushed out of the cave, arriving in front of the black-robed guard in an instant.
"Who did this?"
"Yes, it started burning from inside!"
The high priest's expression hardened, and he rushed to the prison in a great hurry!
Those inside are all core disciples of the nine major sects! She originally planned to detain them for a few days and have those so-called righteous people send someone to ransom them! She had already spread the word; if they died here today, the Witch Clan would be in deep trouble!
The powerful cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage could shrink the distance to an inch, disappearing from Chu Hongluan and her companion's sight in just a few steps.
The two exchanged a glance and then emerged from behind the stone one after the other.
"Let's begin."
Liu Jinghong nodded, her eyes snapping shut and then opening wide, revealing golden pupils.
Several months later, he used the Eye of Karma in the Void once again, but his state of mind was completely different.
The array within an array is far less easy to break than the thirty-three Xuanji arrays. The Xuanji arrays can be broken in waves, but the hundred arrays in front of us, including killing arrays, trapping arrays, and illusion arrays, overlap and complement each other, and stand on the spiritual veins. The spiritual energy supply between them is inexhaustible, so breaking the arrays by brute force is just a pipe dream.
The hundred formations are interconnected, and moving one of them can affect the whole. If one cannot decipher all one hundred formations at once, even if all one hundred formations are triggered at the same time, death and annihilation will occur in an instant.
This kind of formation within a formation can stump 99% of the people in the world, but it doesn't include Liu Jinghong.
With a flick of his wrist, Liu Jinghong produced ten explosive talismans from his fingertips: "Go!" The ten talismans flew out like arrows, precisely locking onto each of the array's acupoints.
The boy's golden eyes shone brightly in the night, making his handsome and unruly face appear sacred and inviolable, much like the son of a god or Buddha who descended to earth to save all living beings.
Now, the son of the gods and Buddhas smiled gently at her, his eyes crinkling, a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
He reached out his hand to Chu Hongluan: "Junior sister, hold on tight to me."
It's hard to describe Chu Hongluan's feelings at this moment; she herself can't even identify what kind of emotion she's experiencing.
In short, she took his hand and walked behind him.
Liu Jinghong's footwork was extremely precise. Three steps to the left, two steps forward, five steps to the right... With each step, he would drop a spirit stone. Sometimes he would drop it right at his feet, and sometimes he would drop it a few steps away. After dropping it, he would quickly take the next step.
Chu Hongluan was pulled along by him, transmitting spiritual energy to him while closely following his steps, fearing that a single wrong step would ruin his entire plan.
When they reached about three zhang from the side of the cave entrance, Liu Jinghong suddenly stopped, turned around, and gave a wild, arrogant smile, as if he had everything in the world under his control.
He parted his thin lips slightly and shouted, "Break!"
The next instant, ten explosive talismans detonated simultaneously, momentarily scattering the spiritual energy at the array's acupoints. When they merged again, they absorbed the spirit stones Liu Jinghong had thrown out, subtly altering the flow of spiritual energy and changing the array's patterns accordingly...
The formation remains, but it is no longer the same as before.
The formation within a formation is still a formation within a formation, but it is no longer the same formation within a formation as before.
In short, he wasn't breaking the formation from beginning to end; he was modifying it. Every step he took was at a point where the spiritual energy flow in the original formation was extremely slow. As long as he didn't stay at one point for more than three breaths, the formation wouldn't be triggered. He used these brief three breaths to add here and there to someone else's original formation, thus creating a new formation!
Liu Jinghong's golden eyes faded, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled Chu Hongluan into his arms again: "The character 'gan' signifies the shifting of stars and the turning of the stars."
In an instant, the two disappeared from their spot and reappeared inside the cave.
Chu Hongluan was completely bewildered. To be honest, as someone who knew nothing about formations, she didn't actually see what Liu Jinghong had done.
Seeing her expression, Liu Jinghong chuckled: "I didn't use the 'Dry' character divination earlier because many of the hundred formations had the effect of shielding space-related spells. But I just added a few strokes to those formations, replacing them all with new formations. Now it's 50% killing formations, 30% trapping formations, and 20% defensive formations... All the formations that had the effect of shielding space-related spells have been erased by me."
Liu Jinghong smiled slyly: "The important thing is—if the High Priest wants to go back to sleep now, he'll have to figure out a way to break the formation first."
Holy crap!!!
In short, it was a revelation!
So the current situation is that even if Li Dazhuang and Song Nanhe fail to hold off the High Priest and allow him to return early and discover them, the High Priest will be helpless against them for the time being!
