Chapter 777 - Setting Up The Array
Aunt Yi’s expression was solemn, and she started to hum an ancient melody. The tune was full of grievance and desolation, and for a moment, there was a glimpse of melancholy beauty on her scarred face. As she hummed that strange song, Aunt Yi started to dance.
The combination of that sad song, odd dance, and blood-colored mist around that skinny figure was so eerie that Qing Lingyan shuddered. If she did not hate Ling Chuxi so much that she wanted her dead, Qing Lingyan would have turned around and fled by now.
Aunt Yi’s song became more shrill, like an injured beast howling in rage and despair.
The blood-colored mist around her started to bubble, then turned into a vortex. Within the vortex, a monster beast’s furious roar was vaguely heard.
“Alright.” Aunt Yi finally stopped, her face pale and her body trembling, either from exhaustion or excitement. Her eyes shone with a fervent madness.
“So this is the Demon Emperor Beast Blood Great Array! Ling Chuxi, this time I’m going to watch you die! Hahaha!” Qing Lingyan’s face was flushed in anticipation, completely forgetting the terror from before.
In the courtyard, Ling Chuxi who was meditating suddenly awoke, an unprecedented sense of danger arising in her heart. She listened closely, and to her shock, Ling Chuxi heard a beast’s low howl.
What was going on? Had a monster beast barged in? If it did, how come she couldn’t hear people’s voices? It couldn’t be that Su Yizhi and the rest hadn’t noticed a monster beast entering the depths of the sect! Even Ling Yichen and Baili Han had not appeared.
Ling Chuxi felt uneasy and immediately got dressed, picking up Luo Chen Sword and pushing open the window. Outside the window, a blood-colored mist was bubbling, so odd that it was hard to describe.
Deciding to investigate, Ling Chuxi was surprised to find that the Mind Training Chant that had never failed before had actually lost its effect this time. That blood-colored mist had actually formed a barrier and had isolated her courtyard from the outside world!
Had someone really silently set up an array in her courtyard? Ling Chuxi knew that the situation was dangerous, but quickly rushed outside the courtyard without hesitating.
When she reached the side of the courtyard, she bounced back with a gasp. It was as if she had just collided with an invisible wall!
“What is going on?” Ling Chuxi was extremely surprised as she drew her Luo Chen Sword and stabbed it. However, it was as if she had pierced mud, and she couldn’t pierce through it.
“Trying to leave? Not so fast!” A woman’s cold voice rang out behind her, and it sounded a little familiar.
“Who’s there?!” Ling Chuxi quickly turned around.
“Forgot me so fast?” Qing Lingyan slowly walked out of the shadows.
“Qing Lingyan, it’s you again!” Ling Chuxi scowled. Knowing that she could not rush out of this array barrier so quickly, Ling Chuxi focused on calming herself and facing her opponent.
Ling Chuxi had no intention of meeting this crazy woman who had destroyed her plans during the Great Sword Pill Meeting and was like a deceased spirit that kept on haunting her. It was like she was behind every bad thing that happened, and this time, she had even managed to conjure up a powerful array.
“Ling Chuxi, you snatched my beloved man. Today, you will die without a place of burial!” Qing Lingyan laughed manically.
“Me? I snatched your beloved man?” Ling Chuxi looked at Qing Lingyan in confusion. She originally thought that this woman had been holding a grudge because of what happened during the Sword Pill Meeting, and only now did she realize that there was another story behind it. However, even after thinking about it for some time, Ling Chuxi couldn’t understand what she meant.
