Chapter 148 When the hero of a fairy tale falls from grace (16)
After Bai Zhi was captured, Biyou Palace Master Xiao Luo received the news and arrived at Yunshui City in less than a day.
Xiao Luo searched Bai Zhi thoroughly, and after he confirmed that Bai Zhi did not have the Ling Feng pendant he wanted, he threw her out and "locked her up in the dungeon."
His deep eyes glanced at Bai Zhi, who was curled up in fear, and said, "This palace master seems to know why the kid from the Chen family ran away with the Huanling Pendant."
Looking at Bai Zhi who was kneeling down in front of him in fear, Xiao Luo's eyes were full of disdain. It was rumored that Duanmu Qingwan, the proud daughter of the Duanmu family, was strong-willed, rational and intelligent, but now it seemed... she was just so-so.
"This palace master is not sure whether the brat from the Chen family will come..." In Xiao Luo's eyes, if they come to Yunshui City, they will definitely die. If it were someone else, they would have escaped long ago after getting a treasure like the complete Huanling Pei.
I don’t know if Chen Ping’an would come here for such a cowardly and stupid woman.
Bai Zhi has only traveled through time for a few months now, and she does not have enough time to gain experience and grow like in the original plot.
Therefore, she has not really grown up in terms of knowledge, skills and character, so naturally she cannot compare to Duanmu Qingwan.
Xiao Luo waved his hand casually, and a disciple came over and took Bai Zhi away.
He sat on a dragon-patterned wooden chair, his eyelids drooping, his hand supporting his chin.
"Give the order and make preparations for both situations. One group of people will follow this palace master to surround and kill Chen Pingan here. If Chen Pingan doesn't come, the other group of people will scatter and hunt him down."
"Yes, Palace Master."
……
In the dark dungeon, there was a dead silence. The weak light shone through the iron window onto Bai Zhi, barely illuminating the small space.
"Danglang——"
It was the sound of the cell door opening.
"The three days are up, and I don't know whether the kid from the Chen family whose engagement you broke off will come." Xiao Luo stood in front of Bai Zhi with his back to the light.
His face was half hidden in the shadows, and his expression was unrecognizable. "If he doesn't come, how about I kill you?"
Xiao Luo tilted his head slightly, and some light sprinkled on his face which was originally in the shadow. He just smiled coldly and indifferently, looking at Bai Zhi as if he treated her as an object.
Bai Zhi, who had been locked up for three days and two nights, trembled and fainted under Xiao Luo's cold gaze.
Duanmu Qingwan woke up and took over the control of the body, "..."
Wasn't Bai Zhi very fierce when she was fighting for her body? She even clamored to devour her!
She fainted when faced with danger...it really damages the reputation of her Duanmu family.
"Are you here to see me because he is here?" Duanmu Qingwan, who had just woken up, immediately calmed down and analyzed the current situation.
Xiao Luo had a strong aura and an aggressive look in his eyes. "You are a little different from before..."
Duanmu Qingwan pursed her lips and smiled, "You came to me now because you feel that you can't beat Chen Pingan, and you want to use me to threaten him?"
Xiao Luo's pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly became intriguing, "Now I doubt whether you are Duanmu Qingwan."
"..." Duanmu Qingwan did not reply to him, but shook the chain on her wrist.
Xiao Luo came here because he felt that he could not beat Lin Qinghe. He had an inexplicable intuition.
Lin Qinghe sneaked into the city secretly. She is now in the late Nascent Soul stage. In Yunshui City, only Xiao Luo has a higher cultivation level than her. It was Xiao Luo who discovered her when she sneaked into the city.
Xiao Luo, who had already made arrangements in the city, noticed Lin Qinghe's arrival the moment she stepped into the City Lord's Mansion. Yunshui City is a city belonging to the Biyou Palace, and Xiao Luo had arranged numerous formations in the City Lord's Mansion.
Only those with a token are allowed to enter.
Therefore, Xiao Luo noticed it the moment Lin Qinghe took the first step into the City Lord's Mansion.
but……
Isn’t Chen Pingan only at the initial stage of foundation building?
Xiao Luo, who was observing secretly, saw Lin Qinghe's cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, and his eyes widened like copper bells.
How did the kid from the Chen family achieve such advanced skills in just less than three days?
Xiao Luo, who had practiced for three hundred years to reach the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, did not understand and was greatly shocked.
In the end, he attributed all of Lin Qinghe's accomplishments to her obtaining the Huanling Pei.
The function of this treasure is so terrifying. Seeing that the aura of the kid from the Chen family is stable and he doesn't look like a paper tiger that broke through forcefully, Xiao Luo made up his mind while sighing.
He must get the treasure, the Huanlingpei!
Holding one end of the Soul Binding Rope in his hand and Duanmu Qingwan whose hands were tied with the rope on the other end, Xiao Luo walked towards the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion.
Lin Qinghe had been waiting for Xiao Luo here for a long time. A group of disciples from the Biyou Palace surrounded her, but... without exception, they were all forced to lie prone on the ground due to the powerful aura of a late Yuan Dynasty cultivator emanating from Lin Qinghe, and they could not get up at all.
The better one was the mid-Nascent Soul cultivator who had been chasing Lin Qinghe before. The two started fighting as soon as they met. He was repeatedly defeated by Lin Qinghe's sword and now he was lying on the ground in pain, seriously injured.
As for Ling Jue... Lin Qinghe gave him some special care, and he was still able to stand under the pressure.
Lin Qinghe walked and broke through the formations along the way before arriving here.
Originally, she wanted to sneak into the mansion, but she didn't know that there was an extremely complicated chain formation arranged in the city lord's mansion. From the first step she took into the formation, all the other formations were activated.
Seeing that the action had failed, Lin Qinghe had no choice but to force her way in. While breaking the formation, she used her sword to knock away the disciples of the Biyou Palace who came to capture her. Her cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage was directly revealed, and she had a smooth journey.
Until she met the first obstacle, who was the middle-Yuan period cultivator who had been chasing her before, she encountered some obstacles, but she soon knocked the man called "Elder Youtian" by the disciples of Biyou Palace into the sky.
By the way, I sent him a set of ICU package for serious injuries, and took revenge on him for what he had been doing to me a few days ago.
Feeling unsatisfied, Lin Qinghe raised her foot and kicked Elder You Tian again, "Old man, weren't you very arrogant when you chased me before?"
Elder You Tian twitched his lips, and tremblingly stretched out his hand to point at Lin Qinghe and curse, "You..."
"Young Daoist Chen, how about we just talk calmly?" Xiao Luo, who had pulled Duanmu Qingwan out of the dungeon, came to the rescue.
"I just want the jade pendant, and you probably want to save your fiancée, right?" Xiao Luo raised his hand towards Lin Qinghe and showed him the rope in his hand.
"Do you dare to fight me outside the city?" Lin Qinghe turned her head and glanced at him. There was a fierce fighting spirit in her eyes, as if a small flame was flickering.
"There is an easier way to obtain the Huanling Pendant. Why did this palace master choose the difficult one?" When Xiaoluo said that to Lin Qinghe, he was sure of the importance of Duanmu Qingwan in his hand to her.
"..." He is really cunning. Lin Qinghe narrowed his eyes and used the teleportation skill to get behind Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo reacted very quickly and dodged Lin Qinghe's hand that was reaching for the Soul Binding Rope, and started fighting with her.
