Chapter 1971: Chapter 1971: Maze Array
Luo yang wondered if he was too nervous, causing him to mishear the sounds.
So he asked, "Aunt Thirteen, did you just say that everything here is fake?"
She nodded.
This lunatic...
Luo yang moved his lips but didn’t say it out loud.
There are steps in front of the main building door, requiring a dozen stone steps to enter.
The door is a vermilion gate engraved with exotic beasts, and when entering, it used to take effort to push open, done by one’s own hands and witnessed by one’s own eyes.
Where’s the fake?
Swallowing a breath, suppressing his temper, Luo yang discontentedly said, "Aunt Thirteen, you haven’t drunk any wine, yet you’re spouting nonsense as if you’re drunk. Just say it, what exactly do you mean?"
Aunt Thirteen saw his elongated face about to explode and laughed for a while before saying, "Boy, you really don’t know that you’ve fallen into a trap, and you think you’ve found the right place."
Luo yang just stared at her without responding.
"Boy, to tell you the truth, this is an illusion. Look, the mighty Eight Immortals Hall doesn’t have a single person here, don’t you find it strange?" Aunt Thirteen asked.
Upon being asked, Luo yang became doubtful.
Initially, he only thought that Eight Immortals Hall feared his arrival for settling scores and ran away, young and old alike.
Now hearing Aunt Thirteen’s words, he felt his previous consideration was somewhat lacking.
With the strength of Eight Immortals Hall, being such a famous existence, there’s no way they would choose to flee with the entire family.
If that got out, they’d be ridiculed by others in the same trade.
Thinking of this, Luo yang suddenly realized that Aunt Thirteen might be telling the truth.
He stomped the ground a few times, solid.
Looked around, the scenery seen upon the first visit was vivid in memory, no difference.
Retracted his gaze, faced Aunt Thirteen, and said, "You say this is an illusion? What do you mean?"
He still didn’t quite understand.
Aunt Thirteen scornfully said, "Boy! We’ve entered the Eight Immortals Hall’s array! The location is still the old site of Eight Immortals Hall. What you’re seeing are illusions, conjured by the array."
She gestured a circle, then continued, "Didn’t Grandma Gu say before? If I knew you’d break in, I wouldn’t have let you drive. Now it’s better, willingly entered Eight Immortals Hall’s array, let’s see what you do!"
Turns out Baxiantang Headquarters has such capability.
Outsiders wanting to forcefully enter would only end up in the array, difficult to reach the actual Baixantang Headquarters building.
Looking around once more at the scenery, Luo yang apologized, "Aunt Thirteen, I just wanted to find the squad leader quickly. Didn’t expect this scenario. What should we do now?"
At the time in the Nine Star Chain Array, the golden light in Luo yang’s mind showed him the flaw in the array, allowing him to easily exit.
Now he hoped for that mysterious golden light to appear, lending a helping hand.
Unfortunately, such golden light is elusive, wishing it to appear, yet it doesn’t.
Often it appears unexpectedly, by itself.
Aunt Thirteen coldly said, "Boy, just wait. I don’t have the ability to break this array. If you do, go ahead and break it. Otherwise, wait for Eight Immortals Hall people to come."
This...
Luo yang grew anxious, silently praying, asking that mysterious golden light for help.
But not a trace of it, instead listening to Blood Devil’s cold laugh, "Still praying? Get ready for battle! I’m itching too! Let me try the taste of fresh blood!"
Blood Devil came for a fight.
The problem is, Luo yang’s main purpose here is twofold.
One is to see Hong Jiaxin, the other is to kill Wang Weiye.
Being trapped in the array, unable to get out, how to meet Hong Jiaxin becomes a big issue.
Numerous times silently chanting, hoping for the mysterious golden light in his mind to appear, yet it remains nowhere to be found.
Aunt Thirteen leaned calmly against the car.
"How to get out?" Luo yang asked.
He wanted to drive out the way he came in, unsure if it was feasible.
"Boy, if you want to get out, either you break this array or wait for Eight Immortals Hall people to come," Aunt Thirteen coldly laughed.
He shared his thoughts with her.
Only to hear her chuckle, "Boy, this array has a thousand doors and a hundred homes. No matter the door you exit from, you’re not outside but into another maze. This is a grand maze, don’t waste your energy!"
Refusing to give up without trying, Luo yang was persistent.
Yet, if really falling into another maze, seeing Hong Jiaxin becomes increasingly difficult.
Still seeing no one around, Luo yang asked, "So when will they come?"
Meanwhile, reluctantly taking a cup of Magical Pond Water from the landscape painting in the Shennong Scripture, sipping slowly.
Whether the Yin Spirit can persist without dispersing, Luo yang was unsure.
All he wanted was to see Hong Jiaxin soon, then settle accounts with Wang Weiye later.
"They’ll come when they come. Why rush?" Aunt Thirteen disdainfully said.
Luo yang took out his phone, glanced at the screen.
It displayed signal.
So, calling should be no problem.
This phantasm is like trapping someone in a dream.
The location is indeed Baxiantang Headquarters, only what’s seen is an illusion.
"Aunt Thirteen, call them!" Luo yang coldly said.
"Boy, you’ve become quite the magician. When I wasn’t watching, you’re holding a cup, how’d you do it? Teach Grandma Gu." Aunt Thirteen deflected.
Little did she know Luo yang simply took it from the Shennong Scripture, not performing magic.
Explaining this would take longer than a few pieces of cloth.
Moreover, mentioning the Shennong Scripture would bring even greater trouble.
Luo yang coldly laughed, "You can learn whatever you want from me, I’ll teach you. First, help me contact people from Eight Immortals Hall, let them come."
As it stands, unable to directly meet Hong Jiaxin, when Eight Immortals Hall people arrive, it’s unknown if a battle will immediately ensue.
"Boy, you’re aware of my identity, how can I command Eight Immortals Hall people?" Aunt Thirteen coldly said.
This seems reasonable.
But given the relationship between Shi Sheng Palace and Eight Immortals Hall, Aunt Thirteen speaking up, Eight Immortals Hall would give face.
She just feared trouble, making excuses to avoid it.
"Aunt Thirteen, pushing some minor matters now, when you want my help, you’ll know how I’ll respond!" Luo yang threatened.
The Tenth Mu Tan is a hard nut to crack.
Whether Eight Immortals Hall or Shi Sheng Palace, they all face a test of life and death.
Aunt Thirteen glared at Luo yang, coldly said, "Boy, don’t keep scaring Grandma Gu with that! Was I raised by scares?"
Luo yang smiled blandly, "Aunt Thirteen, it’d be better if everyone talked nicely. Asking you to make a call, you give so many excuses. You’re not very friendly!"
Such a remark somewhat embarrassed Aunt Thirteen.
"Boy! Isn’t this trouble caused by you?! Want to meet Hong Jiaxin, just be honest, had to drive in! Now you’re trapped here, blaming Grandma Gu! Even if I don’t make the call, what can you do!"
A barrage of verbal attacks made Luo yang chuckle coldly.
Aunt Thirteen glared for quite a while before finally taking out her phone, turning away to make a call.
