Silver light flashed chaotically.
Without time to think,
Xie Lian's first reaction was to use his hand to block. Ruo Xie was wrapped around his wrist. In a critical situation, it would automatically face the attack. However, those silver butterflies didn't attack him at all. Instead, they went around him.
They pounced towards the two people who were wrestling behind him.
Feng Xin and Mu Qing had already suffered greatly from these Dead Spirit Butterflies.
They knew how powerful they were.
How could they be careless? Almost instantly, they raised their hands and shouted, "Shield, open!"
Tens of thousands of silver butterflies pounced towards them.
They flapped their wings like a gust of wind.
In front of the two of them, they were blocked by an invisible wall. Like a torrential rain, they hit each other.
An intense white light appeared.
It was as if sparks were shooting everywhere. As it turned out, they had opened up two magic shields in front of them. However, even if these Dead Spirit Butterflies were blocked by the magic shields,
They were unstoppable and endless.
Like moths flying into a flame, they were crazy to the extreme.
Even if they opened their magic shields,
The two of them were faintly pushed back by this rain of butterflies.
A moment of carelessness gave them the upper hand. If they didn't open their shields, the Dead Spirit Butterflies would get close. If they opened their shields, they wouldn't be able to take out their weapons.
Feng Xin and Mu Qing both secretly complained. They clenched their teeth and endured. Feng Xin glanced at Xie Lian standing in front with his head lowered. He immediately shouted, "Your Highness, be careful. Don't stand there. Quickly go behind the shields!"
Unexpectedly, when Xie Lian turned around, he was completely unharmed. He frowned and said, "Ah?"
The two of them stared at him. They almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. They saw Xie Lian holding a Dead Spirit Butterfly in his palm. His expression was still a bit confused. Just now, when that violent gust of butterfly wind blew past, one of them flew especially slowly. It couldn't keep up with the large group and floated a few times in front of Xie Lian. Xie Lian saw that it seemed to be working extra hard. He kept feeling that this small silver butterfly would soon be unable to fly anymore. Thus, he couldn't help but reach out his palm and support it. The silver butterfly danced merrily on his palm and did not want to leave. Seeing this, the veins on Feng Xin's forehead bulged. He said, "Don't touch that thing with your hands!!!"
At this moment, Xie Lian's wrist suddenly tightened. Unexpectedly, someone had grabbed him and forcefully pulled. His entire body was pulled into the darkness behind the door.
However, although he was in the dark, he did not feel the slightest bit uneasy or vigilant. This darkness seemed to be a layer of gentle armor. Not only was there no danger, but it also inexplicably made people feel at ease.
Although the person behind the darkness had yet to appear, the Silver Butterfly had already arrived. How could he not know who it was? Mu Qing said in disbelief, "How dare you! You actually dare to come to the Immortal Capital and cause trouble! You're too arrogant!"
A voice laughed and said, "Likewise, isn't your Heavenly Court quite arrogant in my territory as well?"
Even though Xie Lian had already guessed who the person who had grabbed him was, he was still shocked when he heard this familiar voice. Immediately after, Feng Xin heard, "Hua Cheng, the Celestial Emperor is in the Celestial Capital. Put him down!"
Hua Cheng scoffed, "That depends on whether you have the ability or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door slammed shut!
Xie Lian felt Hua Cheng's hand gripping tightly onto him as he brought him along. His surroundings were pitch black, and he could only hear the tinkling of the silver chains on the black boots. The ground beneath his feet was uneven. Indeed, this wasn't the broad and bright main street of the Immortal Capital. Instead, it was a desolate valley.
Hua Cheng must have used Thousand Li Shrinking to connect the main gate of Xian Le Palace to this valley. However, it wasn't an easy task to connect a place in the Immortal Capital to another place using Thousand Li Shrinking. At the very least, it was impossible for non-Heavenly Realm Heavenly Officials to do it. How did he do it? Xie Lian was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud shout explode beside his ear, "Your Highness! Where are you?! "
This angry shout came from Feng Xin. Although the voice was beside his ear, the person wasn't in front of him. This shout came from within the spirit communication array. Xie Lian's eardrums began to ache from his shout. Many Heavenly Officials were also blasted out. Trembling with fear, they asked, "What's wrong, General Nan Yang! Did something happen? "
Mu Qing also entered the spirit communication array and said, "Something happened! Where is Ling Wen? Quickly report to the Celestial Emperor that Xie Lian has escaped! "
He usually spoke in a gentle and refined manner, but at this moment, there was a trace of fluster and exasperation in his voice. Ling Wen said, "What? I'm going to Xian Le Palace to take a look! "
A Heavenly Official said in shock, "Third … … His Highness the Crown Prince escaped? Wasn't he grounded in Xian Le Palace?! "
Shi Qing Xuan also entered the spirit communication array and said, "Just now, I clearly saw a large group of little martial gods from the Central Celestial Court watching outside Xian Le Palace. One can only enter but not leave, so how could he have escaped?"
Feng Xin said again, "He didn't escape, he was kidnapped by someone! Your Highness, can you still hear what we're saying? Where are you right now?! "
When they heard that he was kidnapped, everyone was even more shocked. "This is the Immortal Capital, who is so arrogant!"
For a moment, everyone wanted to speak loudly, and everyone wanted an answer. The matter between Imperial Preceptor Fang Xin and Lang Qianqiu hadn't been cleared up yet. Lang Qianqiu had grounded Xie Lian's feet, yet he was gone. Wasn't this creating more trouble for no reason and stirring up more gossip? No matter what, they had to quickly find him before anything else. Hence, Ling Wen went to check out the situation and check Xie Lian's current location. Feng Xin and Mu Qing shouted loudly inside the array, looking for martial god officials who could free themselves to come out and chase after him. Shi Qing Xuan scattered a few more waves of merit. Inside the spirit communication array, everyone was in a mess, and everyone was talking at once. It was so chaotic that Xie Lian couldn't get involved at all. He took a deep breath and was about to shout to ask everyone to calm down when Hua Cheng suddenly turned around and stretched out two fingers. That ice-cold finger gently placed on his temple. Hua Cheng laughed and said, "Haha, long time no see, how are you, everyone?"
His two fingers gently touched, and through Xie Lian, he touched the spirit communication array of the Celestial Court. This calm and composed sentence was not only heard by Xie Lian beside him, but also by all the Heavenly Officials in the Celestial Court's spirit communication array. After they heard it, they instantly fell into a deathly silence.
"…" "…" "…" "…"
In everyone's heart, there was a silent roar.
No wonder he was so arrogant, I was wondering who it was, so it was this person!
Hua Cheng said again, "I don't know if you guys missed me, but I didn't miss you guys at all."
"…"
There were indeed many Heavenly Officials in the Heaven Realm who secretly missed him every day, but when they heard him say that he didn't miss them, they all silently chanted the Heavenly Official's blessing, thank you, thank you, please don't miss us in the future. At this time, Hua Cheng laughed and said, "However, I've been very free lately. If there's someone who's also very free and wants to exchange pointers with me, I'll welcome that person."
"…"
In this situation, the meaning of his words couldn't be more obvious.
"If any of you have the guts to chase after me, I'll go find this person next time and challenge him."
If they accepted this challenge, they would lose without a doubt. If they didn't accept, they would lose all face. Wasn't this an undisguised threat??
Just now, when they heard that Xie Lian actually ran away or was kidnapped, the spirit communication array was practically boiling. After all, it was a rare occurrence, so everyone was extremely concerned. There were even a few Martial God Officials who had taken the initiative to respond and were prepared to join in the chase. In the end, after Hua Cheng said those three sentences, he instantly disappeared. If Jun Wu had sent down an order to send someone to chase after him, then there was nothing they could do. But right now, the matter had just happened, and it was a mess. Naturally, no one wanted to get involved. No one wanted to be remembered by Hua Cheng. Thus, while pretending that they weren't there, they pricked up their ears and paid close attention to the development of the situation. At the same time, their hearts were in constant turmoil. This Blood Rain Tanhua was too unscrupulous. He actually came to the Heavenly Court to kidnap someone, and the person he kidnapped was the laughingstock of the Three Realms — — Was there some deep hatred or something???
The other side fell into silence. Only Feng Xin's angry shouts could be heard. On this side, Hua Cheng removed those two fingers and said to Xie Lian, "Ignore them."
Xie Lian blurted out, "San Lang … …"
However, Hua Cheng let go of his hand and said, "This place isn't far from the Immortal Capital. Let's go quickly."
His voice was low, and no emotion could be heard. His action of letting go of Xie Lian's wrist was extremely fast, almost as if he had flung it away. Xie Lian suddenly remembered the first time they met. When he tried to touch him, his hand was flung away. He was stunned on the spot.
He originally wanted to ask Hua Cheng why he suddenly appeared. Although he didn't think about it in detail, he had a vague feeling that maybe Hua Cheng was here to save him. So when he shouted "San Lang" just now, he felt a little happy. However, when Hua Cheng flung his hand away, Xie Lian suddenly reacted. Why did he feel that Hua Cheng was here to save him? Let's not talk about whether or not Hua Cheng would pay close attention to his movements. He had just recently burned down the Blissful Workshop and escaped from the Ghost City. Wasn't it more likely that Hua Cheng would come to hold him accountable and demand a debt?
It was true that the Geomaster went undercover in the Ghost Realm and was captured by Hua Cheng, imprisoned and interrogated. However, in this matter, the person who went undercover was in the wrong. As for Hua Cheng, he snuck into the Ghost City, dug three feet deep into the Extreme Happiness Workshop, and even set the place on fire. Although in the end, most of the Extreme Happiness Workshop was set on fire because Shi Qingxuan brought wind and added fuel to the fire, he was still the one who started the fire in the armory. Otherwise, others might not even think of starting the fire. No matter what, he still had to bear the main responsibility.
The two of them walked, one in front and one behind. The more Xie Lian thought about it, the more apologetic he felt. The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. He couldn't help but say, "… … San Lang, I'm sorry."
However, Hua Cheng suddenly stopped in his tracks and said, "Why are you saying you're sorry?"
Xie Lian also paused and said, "I originally went to the Ghost City to investigate the disappearance of the Geomaster. I didn't tell you the truth before. You treated me with great hospitality, but I burned down your Extreme Happiness Workshop. I really feel very apologetic in my heart. "
Hua Cheng didn't say anything. Xie Lian also knew that his "very apologetic" really didn't have much weight, so he felt even more ashamed. He coughed lightly and said, "However, I reckon that I'll be demoted soon. After I come down, I'll definitely think of a way to apologize and see how I can …"
However, Hua Cheng said, "Why do you want to apologize to me?"
His tone was a bit stiff, as if he couldn't bear to listen anymore. He suddenly turned around and said, "Did you forget that I injured your arm with my knife? I was the one who injured you, not you who injured me. Why do you want to apologize to me? "
Xie Lian didn't feel any pain in his right hand at all. Now, he had almost completely forgotten that his hand had been injured. He stared blankly for a while before he remembered and said, "You said my right hand? My right hand is fine, it will heal very soon. Furthermore, it was me who went up to face the attack that caused it to become like this. I can't blame you in the first place, right? "
Hua Cheng fixed his gaze on him, the light in his left eye was unusually bright. And Xie Lian suddenly felt that he seemed to be trembling.
After a while, he discovered that it wasn't Hua Cheng who was trembling, but the Curved Blade Misfortune at Hua Cheng's waist was trembling.
