Chapter 331 Exploring the Situation
Zhong Ling'er was unhappy, "Fifth Brother, what do you mean by what I did to the Ghost King? Can I molest him?"
The Ghost King was speechless. Have you forgotten that you almost had your pants stolen?
"He asked me why I was with you."
"I was tricked by your junior sister into coming here. She told me to be the Grand Elder of your Taiqiong Sect, but I didn't expect that I would be your bodyguard."
Zhong Ling'er smiled and pulled the Ghost King's sleeve and shook it, "Grand Elder, you have been trapped for ten thousand years, don't you want to come out for a walk now?"
The Ghost King turned around and looked around, frowned slightly, said "I'll go take a look around", and immediately disappeared in front of the two people.
Qi Haoran looked at Zhong Ling'er with a vigilant look on his face, "Little Junior Sister, how did you fool the Ghost King? You don't really want to marry Third Senior Brother to him, do you?"
Zhong Linger was so angry that she slapped Qi Haoran on the head, "Fifth Senior Brother, do you think I am that kind of person? I would never send my fellow senior brothers out, no matter who I send out."
Qi Haoran patted his chest to calm down, but suddenly found something wrong, "Junior Sister, you just said it's too quiet here, do you mean there's something wrong with that?"
Zhong Ling'er pulled Qi Haoran and walked slowly, "Fifth Brother, have you ever thought about why the entrance here is on the altar?"
"What's the big deal? Aren't the entrances to many secret realms on the altar? For example, isn't the Xuanyuan family's secret realm the same?"
"This kind of secret realm has a characteristic: the creatures inside are allowed to enter but not leave."
Qi Haoran's face darkened at Zhong Ling'er's words. He couldn't believe it and asked, "So, my mother is imprisoned here?"
"I don't know, so I asked them to check. We'll walk slowly and see what information they can find out."
Although Zhong Ling'er asked him to walk slowly, Qi Haoran's pace became urgent. He couldn't wait to see his mother. He would not feel at ease until he was sure that she was safe.
When they were near a courtyard, Zhong Ling'er suddenly grabbed Qi Haoran and said, "There is a formation here!"
Qi Haoran picked up a fallen leaf and threw it forward, but saw that the fallen leaf seemed to encounter an obstacle and fell down. Looking along the place where it fell, it just formed an arc with several other leaves.
"Fortunately you didn't trigger the formation, otherwise we would have been discovered."
Zhong Ling'er stepped forward to take a closer look, and released her spiritual sense to sense it carefully. She deduced from the underground array base that this was a complex chain array. It seemed like an ordinary place, but it was actually full of dangers. Anyone who went in from the outside would die, and those inside had no chance of coming out alive.
"Fifth Senior Brother, this chain formation is composed of fifteen formations, ten of which can kill people. If you want to go in safely, you must follow me closely."
Qi Haoran nodded carefully. When it came to formation, his junior sister was the one he admired the most. Without Zhong Ling'er having to do anything, he directly grabbed her wrist.
The person who set up this formation is very skilled. One formation is inside another. If there is one wrong step, the whole formation will be linked. The formation pattern will rise immediately, and various attacks will follow. Even if you are undergoing a tribulation, you may not be able to get through it intact.
Fortunately, Zhong Linger's understanding of formations has now far exceeded the limits of formations in the world of immortal cultivation. No matter how powerful the formation is, it will only take a few breaths for her to break it. Her difficulty now is to break the formation while taking care of Fifth Senior Brother to avoid alerting the enemy.
The two of them took every step very carefully. Zhong Ling'er thought about it and felt that it would be rude not to reciprocate, so she threw the formation base while walking. This formation was too murderous, so she was kind-hearted and added two more bewitching formations to make people less painful before death. This could be considered as accumulating merit.
After changing the formation so that only one could pass through it with one's own jade token, Zhong Ling'er clapped her hands in satisfaction, took out two jade tokens, inputted her aura into them, and gave one to Qi Haoran. Then she swaggered through the corridor and came to a house.
Zhong Ling'er did not let Qi Haoran get close, but put down the Clairvoyance in a corner, and then used space magic to take Qi Haoran to hide behind the rockery.
The door of the room opened, and an old man in purple walked out. After taking a few glances, he walked back. His breath was detected by the clairvoyance as his robe swayed, and then the clairvoyance disappeared into the closed door.
Zhong Linger took out the small Taiqiong mirror, and saw that the old man in purple went back and sat down. The clairvoyance should be at the hem of his clothes, so it was very low and her face could not be seen. She could only see four pairs of shoes and the corners of his clothes. In addition to purple, there were also white, green, and dark red.
The man in the green robe moved, "Master Bai, do you still have no confidence in Master Hu's formation? Besides the four of us, who else can get in?"
"And Zhong Ling'er, she is at the Qi family now."
The man in the dark red robe took a step forward and said, "No matter how powerful she is, she can't compare to a ninth-grade formation master. Besides, she should still be resting. No one reported her coming here. Okay, let's talk about what we should do next."
Zhong Linger smiled secretly. Fortunately, she sneaked over without stopping for a moment, otherwise she would not have heard that these people paid so much attention to her. However, judging from the voices, the three people were all old men, and one of them was the old Patriarch Bai. Was he from the Bai family in Baihu City? Why did the old Patriarch appear here?
The person in white who had been silent all this time finally spoke, and from the sound of the voice it turned out to be a woman.
"Whatever you do, Feng Ling is getting better, we just have to wait."
The old man in red said, "I don't think there's any need to waste any more time. Let her go earlier so she can suffer less."
The man in white said anxiously, "I disagree. Her condition has improved a lot. She has persisted for so many years. There is no reason to give up now. Besides, there are still seven months before the ten-year agreement. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
The other two did not speak again, and the four of them parted unhappily. Only three old men came out of the house and walked into several houses nearby.
Zhong Ling'er frowned. These people only spoke half of the words. She had no idea what was going on. However, it was obvious that the man in white was on Aunt Qi's side. The ten-year agreement should be the key.
Qi Haoran was shocked and pulled Zhong Ling'er to go into the house.
Zhong Linger used space magic to bring the fifth senior brother to the door, and the two of them quickly entered the house.
Inside the room, a middle-aged woman in white was sitting in a chair with her forehead in her hand. She was startled when she saw Qi Haoran, and quickly stood up and asked with concern: "Ranran, why are you here!"
Zhong Ling'er closed the door and gestured to the woman to keep quiet. Then she put down a formation disk and raised the isolation formation. Then she relaxed and said, "Fifth Brother, you can talk now."
Qi Haoran took the woman's hand and said excitedly: "Grandma, it's really you, can you tell me what's going on?"
Zhong Ling'er was shocked. This woman turned out to be Fifth Senior Brother's grandmother. But why had she never heard anyone mention her before?
