Chapter 210: Wan Moxiao was tricked and Xu Hui woke up from her deep sleep again...
Xu Hui woke up from her sleep again, staring blankly at the ceiling, her mind sometimes dull and sometimes relaxed.
She was sure that she was knocked unconscious by Wei Mubai and must have slept for a long time before falling into reincarnation.
That's why she felt dull and satisfied after waking up, and her mind was also somewhat relaxed.
She felt much better. When she recalled the inexplicable fear she had felt before, she now had the energy to think.
Why is she afraid? What is she afraid of?
Wei Mubai reacted too quickly. He noticed the slightest thing wrong with her and knocked her unconscious immediately.
He seems very nervous. What is he nervous about?
Xu Hui tried hard to think, but she couldn't recall what she was thinking before she fainted. The only thing left in her mind was: Use the teleportation talisman and take Wan Moxiao away!
I lazily sat up from the ground, supporting myself with my hands on the ice behind me, but my body felt heavy and out of control. Could this be the aftereffect of the mushroom cloud explosion?
The aftereffects were too severe. She couldn't even stand up. It was no wonder that Wei Mubai didn't let her participate.
Oh, by the way, she wanted to join the action, but Wei Mubai refused, the reason was, the reason was...
She shook her head, ready to think it over carefully, but saw a flash of sword light, and the soul-eating insect was nailed to the ice. The next second, a teleportation talisman suddenly appeared, bringing a storage bag.
She stretched out her hand, and a storage bag fell into her hand, containing the magic weapon and teleportation talisman given by Wei Mubai.
She looked at it lazily, poured spiritual power into the magic weapon, and observed the progress of the Tiangang Eight-Step Formation.
The first time, it was unsuccessful. Wan Moxiao and Haitang did not have enough spiritual power to activate the Tiangang Eight-Step Formation.
The second time, they took the top-grade Qi-replenishing pills in advance, but before they had time to digest them, they were killed by the Qilin Wisdom Soul that rushed over.
The third time, the Netherworld Cold Flame ignited on its own, just in time to burn the Tiangang Eight-Step Formation. The Yin Qi combined with the Gang Qi, and it exploded with a bang.
The fourth, fifth, and seventh times, the three finally succeeded, but it was too late. Qilin was the first to seriously injure the leading Xuanjian Zunzhe. Even if they succeeded, they could not hold on for long.
But with this experience, and after two more adjustments, they finally did it quickly and well on the tenth time.
Xu Hui cheered up, immediately mobilized his spiritual power, and rushed out as fast as he could.
She originally thought that even if she was faster, it would take more than an hour to reach the palace due to the distance between the palace and the Tiangang Eight-Step Formation.
In addition, she always felt that her body was heavy, difficult to control, numb and dull, as if it was not her own. It must be even more difficult to use light body kung fu.
But for some reason, her speed became abnormally fast, and she seemed to have reached the edge of the Tiangang Eight-Step Formation in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the formation had not yet been completely closed. The Qilin wisdom soul in the formation noticed her arrival, blinked in confusion, and suddenly raised its foot to jump out.
Oh no! Something bad is going to happen to her!
If they lure the Qilin out, wouldn't Master Xuanjian and the others fail?
No wonder Wei Mubai said she couldn't do it! She really couldn't do it!
Xu Hui was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do. The more anxious she was, the worse her control over her body became. However, her speed became even faster. She couldn't stop and crashed straight into the formation.
"Be careful!" Wan Moxiao was shocked to see this scene and immediately warned.
Venerable Xuan Jian attacked at the same time, quickly casting several spells to close the formation.
Qilin's attention was attracted by her and he did not step out, so he was trapped in the formation.
It didn't care about this, but instead raised its nose to catch Xu Hui, who was rushing too fast and couldn't control herself, and prevented her from rushing to the center of the explosion.
Although the Yin and Gang Qi around Qilin reacted violently, she was protected by an invisible force that carried the holy aura of Qilin.
Xu Hui was stunned. She felt that the scene was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it.
She stayed in the protective power in a daze, watching Qilin rushing around in the violent explosion, while chasing and attacking the already very weak Nether Cold Flame.
The Netherworld Cold Flame was almost extinguished, there was not much Yin energy left inside, and the explosion reaction seemed to have weakened slightly.
The voice of the Xuanjian Master suddenly rang in her ears, "Quick, release the remaining half of the Netherworld Cold Flame!"
Xu Hui's first reaction was reluctance. She didn't understand why she thought this way. Wasn't this something they had discussed in advance?
Her emotions didn't catch the attention of Xuan Jian Zun. Seeing that she didn't move, he thought she was thinking about what to do, so he immediately reminded her, "First, use the Guixu Grass to absorb the protective energy set by Qilin, and then release the Netherworld Cold Flame. Don't worry, I will set up a boundary for you and escort you to Wan Moxiao. After that, you can escape from the formation, and I will take charge of it alone."
“......Okay!” Xu Hui suppressed her strong reluctance and acted according to the plan.
The moment the Netherworld Cold Flame was released, it generated a large amount of Yin energy and instantly attracted Qilin's full attention.
This time, it seemed to react particularly quickly. When the weak half of the cold flame was about to rush over, it slapped it down with a palm and extinguished it directly.
Xu Hui was protected by the realm of Master Xuanjian and happened to see this scene. At the same time, she also saw that when half of the cold flame was extinguished, a wisp of green smoke emerged and was just swept into the edge of the realm and brought to Wan Moxiao.
The location of presiding over the formation is the safest place in the entire formation. Therefore, upon arriving, Venerable Xuanjian withdrew his protection and concentrated on presiding over the formation.
Then Xu Hui watched as the wisp of green smoke shook and rushed straight towards her.
The green smoke twisted as if it had facial features.
In a flash, a thought flashed through her mind. Before she could grasp it clearly, she reflexively released her spiritual power to try to disperse it.
However, the green smoke changed direction the moment it came into contact with the magic power and rushed directly towards Wan Moxiao, who was in charge of the formation.
Oh no! Zhong Lingyue is trying to take over Wan Moxiao's body!
How could she forget that Wan Moxiao in this cycle was not dead yet and his soul was still there!
The Qilin is a auspicious beast. Even though it was full of resentment, it gave Zhong Lingyue's soul a glimmer of hope, so when the Netherworld Cold Flame was extinguished, she was freed instead.
After breaking free, she approached her, probably intending to take over her body.
But why did he change direction and rush towards Wan Moxiao halfway?
It’s definitely not that Wan Moxiao is easier to bully than her, there must be a reason.
Without having time to think more, she attacked again, trying to intercept Zhong Lingyue's soul, but it was too late. Wan Moxiao himself was not on guard and was concentrating on presiding over the formation, and she took advantage of the opportunity.
The soul crashed straight into her sea of consciousness. Wan Moxiao paused, obviously noticing it, but she couldn't stop at this moment. She could only continue to output magic power and complete the final operation so that Venerable Xuanjian could preside over the formation alone.
This Tiangang Eight-Step Formation was modified and improved after repeated tests. It can be activated by three people trying their best. After activation, the formation can be changed, and the control can be handed over to one person.
The remaining two people would have been able to escape unscathed, but who knew that everything was going well but something unexpected happened at the last moment.
After practicing so many times, Wan Moxiao didn't want to fail. As for Zhong Lingyue, her soul was still very weak, and it would take some time to take over her body.
Thinking of this, Wan Moxiao did not stop his actions and did not care about Zhong Lingyue's soul swimming in the sea of consciousness.
Xu Hui had similar ideas to hers. Seeing that she could not stop it, she immediately used her hands to cast a spell, casting a series of seals, temporarily forcing Zhong Lingyue's soul into a corner to prevent her from acting recklessly.
The rest depends on Wan Moxiao herself, she can't do more.
After all, that was Wan Moxiao's own sea of consciousness, how could outsiders be allowed to enter?
While waiting, she carefully observed if there was anything wrong.
There must be a reason why Zhong Lingyue changed direction. In short, she is not fully awake now. Her soul is seriously injured and she has been entangled with the Netherworld Cold Flame for so long. Everything depends on instinct, the instinct with the strongest desire and obsession.
Thinking of this, her gaze fixed on Wan Moxiao's head. There was a hairpin there, a very familiar hairpin!
In the book, Zhong Xinyue and Zhong Lingyue both received a beautiful hairpin. That hairpin could calm the mind and double the speed of cultivation. Wearing it for a long time could also improve one's comprehension. Could it be the one that Wan Moxiao is wearing on his head?
Looking at the pattern, it is exactly the same as described in the book.
Did Wan Moxiao grab this opportunity?
In the book, Zhong Xinyue likes this jade hairpin very much and often wears it on her head. Many female cultivators praise it for its beauty.
The materials and techniques used to forge this jade hairpin are unique. It is a relic left by a deceased ancestor of the Wen family.
In the book, the Wen family held an auction, and Mu Yuan and Zhong Xinyue attended together. Originally, Zhong Xinyue wanted to buy the item herself. At that time, they were just friends, and Zhong Xinyue's engagement had not yet been cancelled.
But just before that, Zhong Xinyue bought other things and didn't have enough spirit stones, so Mu Yuan paid for them temporarily.
But there were rumors that this was a token of love. After they got together, Zhong Xinyue wore it every day.
It is estimated that this time when entering the secret realm, the Jiang family put it up for auction, and Wan Moxiao was thinking about this opportunity, so he participated and happened to win the bid.
Unsurprisingly, Zhong Lingyue's deepest obsession must be Zhong Xinyue. Without much mental capacity, she acts entirely on instinct.
When she saw the jade hairpin, she mistook Wan Moxiao for Zhong Xinyue, so she gave up Xu Hui and wanted to take over Zhong Xinyue's body?
Wait, Xu Hui suddenly realized something was wrong!
How could she remember that before she brought Wei Mubai and others into the glacier, she met Zhong Xinyue and she was wearing such a jade hairpin on her head?
Could it be that this jade hairpin is not unique, and the Wen family has another one like it?
She immediately reminded Wan Moxiao, "It seems that Zhong Lingyue is targeting you because of the jade hairpin on your head."
Wan Moxiao was stunned and couldn't help but recall the scene of the auction.
The jade hairpin described many times in this book is not only an important plot prop, but also the key to open a secret vault of the predecessor of the Wen family. When she saw the Wen family put it up for auction, she didn't think much about it at the time, she just felt that luck had come and it was unstoppable.
At that time, Zhong Xinyue and Zhong Lingyue were also participating in the bidding. The two competed fiercely and raised the price by more than two times.
But she really liked it, so she bought it even though the price was inflated.
If this is not the one in the book, the one in the book would have been won by Zhong Xinyue long ago.
But she deliberately created a fake one and let Zhong Lingyue compete in order to confuse her.
And she, Wan Moxiao, had bumped into him on her own initiative and gotten tricked? Hey!
This is not impossible. Zhong Xinyue has a close relationship with Wen Jingchi, the young master of the Wen family, and she must have long been aware of Zhong Lingyue's attention to her. She always seems to be able to suppress her and snatch everything from her.
Then it is understandable that she took this opportunity to trick Zhong Lingyue.
As for Wan Moxiao, Xu Hui was convinced that she was not involved innocently, but was carefully plotted by Zhong Xinyue.
As the heroine of the book, Zhong Xinyue possesses keen insight, which is repeatedly emphasized in the book.
She must have noticed Wan Moxiao's little tricks, and coupled with the grudge caused by Mu Yuan, it is very likely that he framed her by the way.
Who would have thought that her casual action would cause Zhong Lingyue to mistake Wan Moxiao for her, thus changing the target of her possession.
What is this? Everything has its consequences. It’s not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come yet?
But this report came at the most critical moment!
Xu Hui couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, and could only search the storage as much as possible to find something that could help Wan Moxiao remove Zhong Lingyue's soul.
