"Second Master, can Lady A Li do it?"
Within the Underworld, Chen Ying never truly trusted that flamboyant woman. Perhaps it was due to their social status; when the princess married Chen Qing, she had no choice but to remain with Chen Qing as a concubine, outwardly on the same level as A Li.
Chen Ying had never wanted to admit this, that she herself was a demon, and a demon who seduced people with her beauty, sharing the same identity. Fortunately, this demon was too dangerous, and her master had kept her in Great Azure Mountain for many years. She just never expected that one day, Jiangnan would need her help!
"The trump card that the Lord left here is her. She must have a special method. Actually, I'm also very curious about how she managed to lure people out. After all, the Laosan's method of defending against that fox is simple, but very effective."
Chen Ying nodded. She had heard Zhou Haitao mention that method in secret. The Shen Family member was always guarding outside the door. Even if he was controlled, it was useless because Shen San would not let him out of his sight, and he could do nothing.
Logically speaking, if this method can be used consistently, the fox should never be able to get close to the enemy in its entire life.
But soon, reality dispelled their doubts!
His mole in the government office rushed to report that the woman had flown out of the city without any regard for the consequences, making a huge commotion and showing no intention of concealing it, as if she had something urgent to attend to!
Shen Er was taken aback, and he and Chen Ying exchanged glances. This situation was exactly as the fox had described.
Without hesitation, Shen Er immediately activated the Underworld Mirror, bridging the boundary between the Yin and Yang realms.
This is the supernatural power of the Lord of the Underworld, and also the supernatural power of the Yin-Yang Road. It opens the Yin-Yang Realm through contact with mortals, and uses the eyes of mortals to peer into the Yang world, just like the Emperor of Great Jin and King Xiang. However, King Xiang's top-level King Level spirit can maintain that state with the emperor almost without limit, while he needs to conserve his strength. Maintaining such a state for even a quarter of an hour is somewhat annoying.
The moment the Underworld Realm opened, he saw a long rainbow in the sky.
"As agreed, I've lured her out. The rest is up to you," A Li's lazy voice came.
Before he could even react with shock or hesitation, Shen Er glanced at Chen Ying, Chen Ying nodded slightly. Without further ado, Shen Er opened the Underworld Passage!
After three days of treatment, Chen Ying had barely recovered. The woman had become extremely cautious after she had injured her once before, and this time she had finally managed to trick her out; it was practically her last chance!
As Chen Ying transformed into a streak of light and disappeared, Shen Er looked at her in confusion. "How did you do that?"
In his view, Shen San's method of dealing with the Thousand-Faced Fox was almost unsolvable. If the Thousand-Faced Fox didn't have the ability to break through head-on, she wouldn't be able to get close to Shen San at all. But the woman just now was obviously affected by her memories.
"That's not your concern," A Li said lazily. "Let me make this clear first: I'm very afraid of death and quite fragile. I won't take risks with you unless I'm absolutely certain of success, and I will absolutely not make a move unless there's a safe opportunity!"
"Don't worry." Shen Er smiled slightly, but inwardly he became extremely vigilant.
What trump card is this woman hiding?
Chen Qing was indeed hiding some things from them!
"We've been tricked!"
Almost the instant she reached the Blazing Yang Grand Formation, Shen Ling sensed something was wrong.
According to the schedule, her Dao Fruit will recover at Chen Shi (7-9 AM) today. Although it will not be fully recovered, she will be able to exert some of the power of her former Heavenly Venerable. This is her greatest trump card. Don't be fooled by her current smooth sailing; in reality, she is walking on thin ice.
Once I leave the mountain, those old guys from the major guilds will definitely be watching me closely, and that old Dragon King of the West Sea has been eyeing me for a long time.
Despite her seemingly calm demeanor these past few days, it would be a lie to say she wasn't anxious at all. If it weren't for Chen Qing's massive Blazing Yang Grand Formation, she wouldn't have even planned to leave the mountain easily, but instead would have continued to hide and look for opportunities.
The scheme she initially set up was actually for the Dragon Palace. Since before the last era, she had passed on a large number of magic array inheritances to the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace was already skilled in magic arrays, and with its own inheritance, it would rise to power even faster. In order to resist a force like the Heavenly Python Palace, the Dragon Palace would definitely make great efforts in the way of magic arrays. After all, it is more worthwhile to use magic arrays to wear down the Heavenly Python than for the Dragon Clan to use its thin bloodline members to exchange lives with the Heavenly Python.
Once the Dragon Palace's magical array techniques are improved, she will be able to seize the Dragon Palace's possessions at the opportune moment, instantly gaining power for herself.
She just didn't expect Chen Qing to intercept her first and develop such a large-scale array of magic arrays. To be honest, if Chen Qing hadn't been tricked and couldn't return for a while, she really wouldn't have dared to leave the mountain and come to Jiangnan so easily.
This time, it seems like Heavenly Capital was on her side.
After obtaining the Blazing Yang Grand Formation, her first thought was to take advantage of the fact that the old mudfish in the West Sea had not fully recovered, go straight into the West Sea and personally eliminate it, then refine the Dragon Crystal and dragon blood, control the West Sea Aquatic Clan, and parasitize all the Ancient Insect she had cultivated. Within a year at most, she could create a powerful army no weaker than the Ancient Demon Clan, and then enter the Central Plains to seize the fortune. She could then gradually reclaim the Heavenly Venerable position that she had lost!
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but at this crucial moment, he actually got outsmarted by that stupid woman?
The moment she arrived in front of the Blazing Yang Grand Formation, she knew that her memory was faulty.
Not today
It's tomorrow!
How could I have gotten the number of days wrong?
Who else but that woman could do that?
She couldn't understand how the other party had altered her memories. She hadn't interacted with any strangers from beginning to end. Since learning that the foolish fox had come out of the mountains, the only people she had met were Shen San and Shen Shiyi, and these two people hadn't left her sight in the past two days!
Which part of the process went wrong?
Surely Shen San and Shen Shiyi couldn't have been replaced right under their noses?
If the other party can go this far, why bother altering any time-related memories? Why not just change your own memories to show you as her loyal slave?
Yes
Shen Ling was suddenly stunned. She realized that the memory alteration this time was very strange. The alteration was very slight, making her feel confused about time and causing an illusion. Logically speaking, the other party should have altered more memories, such as making her willingly hand over the Dao Fruit. With her abilities, she should have been able to do that.
Why not do it?
Instead, she only blurred the timeline; her wariness of A Li remained, and having learned her lesson, she would never give A Li another chance.
Therefore, I must have overlooked something.
He didn't see A Li, and she never came near him. The two younger members of the Shen Family probably hadn't been replaced either.
That foolish fox has gained a new ability!
