Fan Kong did not refuse Qin Liuxi’s request.
As he said, impending disaster is nigh, and while the Buddhist and Taoist domains still have a chance to stop it, how could they ignore it out of fear of death?
Just like the Buddhist and Taoist sects fought bravely thousands of years ago to prevent Si Luo from sacrificing all living things as banners, they can do the sa now.
Fan Kong never thought of standing apart from the world.
However, entering this barrier is not sothing to be done lightly. One must find a weak point in it and then co up with a secure thod to proceed.
The two discussed it for a while and went back separately to look into records related to the Buddhist and Taoist domains, planning to regroup later.
After separating from Fan Kong, Qin Liuxi returned to Qingping Temple, checked the old Daoist’s pulse, changed his prescription, and then dove into the secret chamber to take out the fragnted map and piece it together.
The complete Trapped Immortal Array was right before her eyes.
Qin Liuxi looked at the array map, rhythmically tapping her fingers on the table. Ancient arrays like this didn’t appear before Si Luo fled, but once Si Luo escaped, the Buddha Bone erged, and this array followed. Could this be guidance from heaven?
Is it what people call a subtle arrangent from destiny?
It’s called an array that could trap even immortals; it sounds exaggerated, but what if it really works?
Qin Liuxi gazed intently, and this gaze seed to plunge her Divine Soul into an array plate filled with mysteries, causing her to tremble.
The Door of Wonders, profound and mysterious.
This array seems easy to decipher at a glance, but once truly inside, its mysteries are endless, ever-changing.
Qin Liuxi was lost in thought.
Despite its apparent endless variations, its essence remains the sa; once grasped, no matter how it changes, it can’t escape the Dharma Eye.
And how to grasp this core is what she must ponder.
Qin Liuxi simply let her Divine Soul imrse in the array.
After a long while, she opened her eyes and withdrew.
The grand Dao is simple, and all laws return to one.
She seed to have so insight into how to refine the array plate.
Qin Liuxi connected several fragnted scrolls, restoring them, then took new paper and started drawing according to the array. If soone observed closely, they would notice slight differences between her new drawing and the ancient map.
She was attempting to alter the array!
Yes, Qin Liuxi didn’t know if this array has been used on Si Luo before. If it has, even if she replicates it, he could probably break it.
So why not enhance the array’s complexity to make it stronger?
This amounts to refining a new array, and Qin Liuxi beca engrossed, with maps piling up beside her until she received Feng Xiu’s transmission.
Qin Liuxi looked at the few fire-red fox furs, her mouth twitching slightly; why use fur for transmissions, of all things?
But upon hearing the content, she sprang to her feet.
If she doesn’t rush to Shengjing as reinforcent, her treasured disciple will be forced into marriage!
Unbelievable, who dares to touch her cherished disciple!
Qin Liuxi rushed out of the secret chamber, said a few words to Qing Yuan, and hastily headed to Shengjing. What was Feng Xiu doing, not even with Hei Sha protecting her disciple correctly?
Feng Xiu was equally frustrated. He had just left for two days, thinking with Hei Sha guarding, all would be well. But who expected they’d cause such a ss, attracting a Royal Princess’s attention and being taken to the Princess Mansion, aiming to make Teng Zhao submit.
Now, Princess Yile has taken a fancy to Teng Zhao, insisting on taking him as her Prince Consort.
Damn, that crazy woman!
Who cares about alchemy? That infatuated princess wants to lure Teng Zhao, forgetting Qin Liuxi’s mad niece might skin him alive!
Feng Xiu was most annoyed he left Hei Sha to protect them, but when they were both calculated and morally coerced, they didn’t even resist, just stepped into the pit, only to wind up in trouble.
"If they learned even half of Qin Liuxi’s brazen slyness, they wouldn’t have landed in this ss," Feng Xiu muttered angrily, suddenly shivering and rolling aside.
Bang.
A bolt exploded where he used to stand.
Looking up in fury, he said, "Are you even human, attacking allies with lightning!"
"Can’t kill you!" Qin Liuxi appeared in mid-air, face dark, saying, "I asked you to watch over them, is this how you did it?"
Feng Xiu felt aggrieved, saying, "I just left for two days, northeast had a Fox Demon seeking help, familiar demons disappeared, suspecting Evil Path hunters. I went to check. Who would expect those three couldn’t handle a Royal Princess’s little sches?"
Qin Liuxi frowned, "Soone’s hunting demons?"
Feng Xiu nodded, "Not just Fox Demons, even the Yellow Immortal Clan lost promising Transformation candidates."
"Found out who’s behind it?"
Feng Xiu shook his head, "I just found so clues when Hei Sha sent word they fell for a trap."
Qin Liuxi had to refocus on the matter, asking, "What’s their situation?"
"Didn’t they set up a refugee camp on the outskirts of the capital? Teng Zhao’s been volunteering there, only for Princess Yile to take a liking to him. Knowing he’s a Daoist didn’t deter her; she said if he consents, he’d even be allowed to cultivate at the Longevity Palace with the Saint and practice alchemy. Naturally, Teng Zhao refused, treating Princess Yile as invisible, but her moves are sly."
So people desire what they lack, turning conquest into shaful pursuit.
Teng Zhao, originally handso, being a Cultivator diligently practicing over the years, a teenager of serene, transcendent deanor intrigued Princess Yile.
The more Teng Zhao rejected, the more she pursued. To break through his aloofness, she instigated two refugees to slander him as a killer, then played hero to rescue, ultimately declaring she could provide for and cure the sick refugees, even build hos for them, if they’d plead for Teng Zhao to go and heal at the Princess Mansion. When he refused, accusing him of lacking compassion, moral coercion ensued.
Such reckless disruption angered Hei Sha greatly. They fought back, resulting in their detention for insubordination. Resistance ant endangering refugees and committing their fate to them!
"Those scoundrels’ hysteria accused them of callousness. Teng Zhao was furious but didn’t dare resist, thus was taken to the Princess Mansion for house arrest!" Feng Xiu said, "Think I’m not angry? If they learned even half of your stubbornness... uh, strength, they wouldn’t be trapped by these commoners. Callousness, should be they lack qualification as humans!"
Feng Xiu glanced at her frosty face, saying, "That’s roughly the situation. Now, that princess brainwashes Teng Zhao daily, trying to make him yield. Also, Princess Yile is the beloved late daughter of the Saint, very favored. Her older brother is the current Crown Prince, making her the second most privileged among the princesses after the legitimate princess!"
