Chapter 199 Working Together to Break the Array [2]

Shangguan LingRan said solemnly to Mu YingYi, “Uncle, I already called my shixiong and martial nephews here. Don’t worry if you can’t get out. Withdraw to Dali and make a decision after discussing it with my shixiong. Don’t worry. There won’t be any life-threatening danger even if we are trapped inside. I will take good care of YouYou.”

The last sentence was a promise. Mu YingYi looked into his decisive eyes that held no cowardice and were full of confidence.

So, he gently punched him on the shoulder. “Take care! I still want to see you two get married and have children and be a great-uncle.”

“Haha……” Shangguan LingRan clearly liked hearing what he said. A smile that was as dazzling as the sun breaking out of clouds appeared on his face. “Uncle, you will definitely be a great-uncle.”

Then he looked gently at Zi You. As if they were going on an outing, he asked, “Shall we go?”

“En.” Zi You answered softly, like a little wife.

They put on the homemade anti-poison masks that Zi You had made. They walked hand in hand leisurely into the Black Wind Magic Array.

Once inside, a stench wafted over. Fortunately, they had on masks and consumed anti-poison pills. Otherwise, they would have collapsed. That was toxic gas.

Zi You and Shangguan LingRan looked at each other. They had the same thought and went towards the array again. As long as they found the secret mechanism and destroyed it, this array would be like a person without a head and would naturally be useless.

But how could it be easy to find the secret mechanism? They walked for less than a quarter of an hour before black wind mixed with flying sand, stone, and branches of various sizes flew towards them.

They both took action. They moved forward while flicking those things to the side.

They had just passed the first level. Then little phantoms with green faces and fangs rushed towards them.

Zi You told Shangguan LingRan, “They should be illusions, but there may be actual humans mixed in with them. Close your eyes and don’t be confused by the illusions. Listen for my signal.”

Shangguan LingRan smiled wickedly. “Don’t worry, YouYou. This little ability can’t scare your husband.”

Zi You was correct. These phantoms were mostly illusions. If they fought desperately with the illusions, they would become tired. Then they didn’t even need to think about breaking the upcoming array.

So, they not only needed to have sharp eyes that could identify what was true and what was false, but they also needed to be quick to deal with the real humans’ sudden attacks.

There were countless phantoms on this level. They killed sixteen people dressed as phantoms and successfully passed this second level.

The third level was beauties and beasts. Beautiful women and all sorts of strange beasts rushed towards them amidst exotic music.

The beauties made a variety of dirty actions to seduce Shangguan LingRan.

Shangguan LingRan smiled mockingly. He mercilessly pulled out his Silver Moon Hook and chopped them in half.

Zi You looked at those voluptuous and seductive women. She wasn’t worried about Shangguan LingRan at all.

The women in the array were mostly Nanjiang women. Although they weren’t ugly, they were incomparable to the five black mandara spirits.

The five spirits had wanted to test if Shangguan LingRan was wholehearted and loyal towards Zi You. They had transformed into Zi You’s appearance and tried to seduce Shangguan LingRan several times. He saw through them all and had rejected them all.

Shuiling had transformed into Zi You and went over to Shangguan LingRan. Shangguan LingRan had sneered. “Scram! Don’t think that just because you’re YouYou’s spirit, I won’t kill you.”

Shuiling had asked in surprise, “How do you know that I am not Master?”

“You’re too seductive.” Shangguan LingRan had coldly mocked, “My YouYou won’t walk like you nor show that expression.”

Shuiling had twisted her hips too much and her eyes were too flirtatious. YouYou wasn’t engaged to him yet, so she was extremely bashful whenever they had any intimate contact. So how could YouYou look as frivolous as Shuiling did?

It was Tuling’s turn the next time. She was the smallest spirit and very exquisite. Her eyes were clear and lively. She looked like a real spirit.

She had innocently leaned close to Shangguan LingRan and attempted to kiss him when he wasn’t paying attention……

Shangguan LingRan had quickly moved and used his fan to block Tuling’s attack. He had angrily slapped Tuling twice with his fan and coldly warned, “You’re seeking death! If you dare to be presumptuous again, I will use my fire to burn you.”

Tuling was aggrieved as she let Zi You look at the slap print on her face. “Master, you husband doesn’t know how to have tender feelings for the opposite s e x.”

Zi You shook her head at the five spirits. “Don’t look for trouble. I trust him. You don’t have to doubt him.”

Jinling said, “This is a task the goddess assigned to us. We have to complete the task.”

Muling then made a move. She had drugged Shangguan LingRan. Then she transformed into Zi You and pounced over.

“Get out!” She had just walked over to Shangguan LingRan, when his Fire Cloud Palm struck. “Don’t try to deceive me. YouYou won’t do something like this.”

The fire almost burned Muling. She had angrily run back to tell Jinling, “My hair was almost on fire. I’m so angry! There’s something wrong with Master’s husband.”

Finally, it was the oldest Jinling’s turn. Jinling was the one who looked like Zi You the most out of the five spirits. Both their appearances and temperaments were very similar. Most people couldn’t tell the difference.

However, she had just sat down in front of Shangguan LingRan when he bluntly scolded, “Are you done playing around? Scram for this Ye. You’re not YouYou. YouYou’s scent isn’t this rich. She smells fresh and elegant. She smells much better than you.”

Zi You’s scent was different from everyone else’s. It wasn’t a powder or floral scent. It was her own faint unique and elegant scent. It was very refreshing after someone smelled it.

Shangguan LingRan could tell from the scent alone that the person wasn’t Zi You.

Zi You later apologized to him. “Don’t be angry. My great-grandmother probably doesn’t trust you yet. She asked them to test you. I tried to stop them, but they didn’t listen.”

Actually, if she was really angry, the five spirits would certainly obey her. However, she had been miserably deceived by Zhao HongXiang in her previous life. She was still a bit distrustful towards men more or less. She also wanted to see if Shangguan LingRan would be faithful to her.

So, she hadn’t tried too hard to stop them. The five spirits were of the same mind as her, so how could they not know what she was really thinking?

They had tested Shangguan LingRan and were very satisfied. They were very certain of Shangguan LingRan now.

Shangguan LingRan struck ruthlessly. He cut twenty-four beauties and a tiger.

Zi You killed two wild boars, a leopard, and five jackals.

The third level was swamps. It was different from the swamps that Old General Mu and Mu YingYi had encountered. There were real swamps and fake swamps here. You didn’t know where there was a real quagmire or where there were deadly traps. Zi You threw a stone into a swampy area. Dozens of poisoned arrows immediately flew.

Shangguan LingRan moved Zi You behind him. He was leisurely as he waved his fan and swept all the arrows away.

He then looked around carefully. He pulled her and said, “I know where the traps are and where the array is. There are no swamps here. Follow me.”

Zi You nodded and didn’t use her spiritual power. She followed Shangguan LingRan and let him resolve all of the obstacles.

In the eerie, horrifying, and deadly Black Wind Magic Array, Zi You’s heart was sweet and joyful.

That was because there was a man like a mountain in front of her. That was because this man held her hand tightly and never let go!

Shangguan LingRan wrapped an arm around her waist and leaped into the sky. His feet quickly swept across the quagmires and soon flew across the illusionary swamps.

They then faced two strange and scary snakes with horns and were as thick as a barrel.

The snakes kept spraying out black venom. Their eerie eyes looked at the two people like they were looking at prey already in their mouths.

Shangguan LingRan had a creepy feeling. He asked in surprise, “What are these? They don’t look like snakes or dragons. Are they monsters?”

Zi You nodded. “They should be beasts that Darong Ka bred. We’ll attack them together.”

She finished speaking and the two snakes’ tails swept over like whips.

Shangguan LingRan and Zi You jumped into the air. The two snakes suddenly rose and rushed towards them while spraying venom.

Although they were thick, they were very flexible and not clumsy at all.

Zi You and Shangguan LingRan jumped again and landed behind the two snakes. Zi You shot out a Three Bone Nail and her Flying Blood Ring towards one of the strange snake’s head.

“Ow, ow……” The Three Bone Nail stabbed into flesh. The two snakes’ tails swept crazily around in pain. Their actions were slower now. One of the strange snake’s horned head was hit by the Flying Blood Ring. Blood spattered everywhere.

But this monster had thick skin. The Flying Blood Ring actually didn’t decapitate it, but it was clearly injured. Snake blood spattered and the Flying Blood Ring was like a collar between the strange snake’s head and neck. Zi You pulled on her iron chain. The blades stabbed an inch deeper.

The strange snake was crazy from the pain of its flesh being cut. It writhed its body desperately.

The other snake saw this and endured the pain of the Three Bone Nail in its flesh. It once again writhed and rushed over.

Shangguan LingRan moved Zi You behind him before releasing her. His palm sprayed out fire towards the snake.

But the snake was too big. The power of a single palm wasn’t enough.

The snake saw the fire and retreated in fear. Zi You took the opportunity to concentrate her spiritual power in her hands. She shifted from being behind Shangguan LingRan to being in front of him. She released one purple beam of light and one blue beam of light towards the strange snake.

“Ow, ow……” The fire spread down the snake’s head and soon burned its whole body.

The pain from the fire made it cry out strangely. Its body swept around nonstop as it tried to put out the fire.
