Chapter 169 - Locked in the Shifter Sealing Tower (1/2)

The quest clearly said to save Zhao Ling’er, who was on the fifth floor of the s.h.i.+fter Sealing Tower.

But when they arrived at the fifth floor, there was no Zhao Ling’er at all.

That could only mean one thing. There was a problem with this quest!

That meant that the person who issued the quest was not Li Xiaoyao, or that Li Xiaoyao was an antagonist in the plot of this game.

The latter seemed a bit impossible. Even if the NPC was an antagonist, they would not automatically antagonize them without cause.

There was another possibility. The quest did not have any problem. Perhaps returning and asking Li Xiaoyao about it would unlock the next chain of events.

Clang… Clang…

Just as Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu were about to leave using their Town Portal Skill and ask Li Xiaoyao about it, the chains on the three giant swords moved. Like slithering snakes, they appeared next to them in the blink of an eye and chained them together, then pulled them back unto the giant sword.

Ding. System Prompt. Warning. You have been caught by the s.h.i.+fter Binding La.s.so and cannot be released within 24 hours when bound by the s.h.i.+fter Binding La.s.so. You cannot use any skills and items within this period. Your avatar would remain when you log out. If you die, you would revive in the same location!

“What?! Bound for 24 hours, d.a.m.n it!” The moment Jiang Feng heard the system’s voice, he gritted his teeth.

Ling Feiyu was in the same situation as him and was tied up together with him. Both could not escape.

Ling Feiyu said in a cold voice, “We’ve been had!”

Whoos.h.!.+

At this time, a puff of black smoke rose in front of them. Then, Archmaster Moji appeared.

“It’s you!”

The moment Jiang Feng saw Archmaster Moji, he frowned and called her out.

Archmaster Moji’s beautiful face carried a whimsical smile as she said, “That’s right. It was me! I told you, I will kill you!”

Jiang Feng asked in a frigid tone, “So, you arranged all this?”

Archmaster Moji smiled with a nod. “That’s right. I arranged this. Unfortunately, as the one that issued the quest, I can’t touch you. Otherwise, I would have slain you where you stand!”

Jiang Feng understood it now. The Li Xiaoyao was a fake and was a disguised Archmaster Moji.

And the quest was not real either and was only an excuse to lure him here.

The reason that Archmaster Moji would find Ling Feiyu was because she had seen her together with him in the Three Generations Tower.

That was why she had guessed that Ling Feiyu’s relations.h.i.+p with him was quite cordial, and she sought her out.

In the game, the NPCs had the authority to issue quests. As an Archmaster, Archmaster Moji naturally had the same authority.

But the quest from an NPC could only be taken by a player. Among those who were with him in the Three Generations Tower, only Ling Feiyu was a player. And that was another reason she looked for Ling Feiyu.

She wanted to use Ling Feiyu to lure him over. Of course, it was all a gamble. If Ling Feiyu did not contact him, then her plan would have failed.

But she won. Ling Feiyu looked for him and made her plan a success. Both Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu fell into her trap.

As for why Archmaster Moji did not look for him directly, first, it was because she did not know where she was. Secondly, killing him once would not be enough. And that was why she did such a thing.

Jiang Feng then asked, “If you can’t kill me, then why did you seal us here?”

Archmaster Moji then smiled and said, “Aha. True, I cannot kill you, but others can!”

Ding. Server Announcement: The Inheritor of the s.h.i.+fters has been bound on the fifth level of the s.h.i.+fter Sealing Tower. Within 24 hours, the Inheritor of the s.h.i.+fters can’t use any skills and items and would revive in the same spot. Anyone who kills the Inheritor of the s.h.i.+fters would receive one level 50 White-Silver Equipment and 100,000 experience points!

“You…”

The moment the server announcement appeared, Jiang Feng’s body trembled and he became infuriated.

“Tsk, don’t look at me with those eyes. You should feel honored that I used my only chance to post a server announcement on you,” The Archmaster Moji then continued, “Enjoy and savor it. I hope I can see you again!”

With that, her body disappeared into a black mist.

Ling Feiyu asked curiously, “You’ve been bound for 24 hours?”

Jiang Feng turned and looked at Ling Feiyu. Perhaps they were being tied too close together and the distance was too close. As soon as he turned, his lips accidentally touched hers. Her moist lips made his heart tremble.

Ling Feiyu quickly turned away in embarra.s.sment. But when the numbing feeling on her lips was gone, regret appeared in her eyes.
