Chapter 181 - The Heart Array Stone (2/2)

Even if he had no immortal stones, he should not offer her his clothes!

Lan Hua felt an impulse to kill himself. Suddenly he had a eureka moment and turned to grab Chu Xuan.

“You… wanted to repay your debt to me, right?”

Chu Xuan was overjoyed. “Master! You’ve… finally acknowledged me.”

“Do you have a storage bag?” Before Chu Xuan could finish speaking, Lan Hua reached out his hand to him.

“Yes… I have.” Chu Xuan handed it over.

So the next moment, he saw his benefactor open the bag, remove its contents one by one and then shove it to the Shen lady immortal in front of him. While removing the items, he said, “I don’t know what these things are? But take them, take them!” As long as he did not have to remove his clothes.

Oh ho! So this Boss has his uses. Lonemoon’s eyes gleamed. He fished out an empty bag from robes and handed it over to Shen Ying, saying, “Come, Shen Ying! Use this bag.”

Yi Qing: “…”

All the disciples: “…”

Chu Xuan: “…” His heart hurt deeply but he could not speak up.

It had to be said, emperors were a wealthy lot. Lan Hua kept fishing inside the bag for almost an hour before he confiscated all the priceless objects inside it.

“Emperor… Emperor…” blurted out Chu Xuan as he looked in disbelief at the empty storage bag he was holding. “How is this Shen… Exalted Goddess related to you?”

“She’s my Good Heart. Can’t you tell?”

“Good … Heart?” Chu Xuan subconsciously touched his swollen face. “You’re sure she’s your Good Heart… and not your Demon Heart?”

“…”

The group of them walked towards the cloud of smog. Apart from some flowers, they did not meet with any danger. After walking for about an hour, Lonemoon, the only expert in array formations, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“The eye of the formation should be just ahead of us.” He said, pointing ahead.

Yi Qing conjured a wind seal. Instantly, a huge gust of wind rose and blew away the thick smog, revealing a stone table. Atop it lay various glittering gold dharmic talismans, surrounded by different kinds of array images. A stream of reddish liquid was flowing along the array images and seeping into the ground.

A man sat cross-legged In the middle of the formation with his eyes closed. Blood was dripping continuously from a cut in his hand.

“Chen Ge!” Lonemoon exclaimed in surprise. Why was he here? And it was not his primordial spirit but his actual body sitting there.

“What’s happening?” Lan Hua turned to look at Chu Xuan.

The expression in Chu Xuan’s eyes as he looked at the man in the center of the array still bore a hint of resentment. In a grudging tone he explained, “This array was originally laid out using his blood as a catalyst. So his body is what maintains the eye of the formation.” If everything went smoothly, the array would vanish once his body was drained of the last drop of blood and all his immortal qi dissipated completely. Besides, Chen Ge was the one in the array with the highest level of cultivation level, so naturally he was most suitable to be the eye of the array.

“He’s now one with Zhu Xian, his body is controlled by the array and his primordial spirit is not in his body. The Heart Array Stone is under his feet. To destroy the array, we need to defeat him.”

“I can’t think of a way to make him leave the Heart Array Stone.” He looked a little timidly at Shen Ying before continuing, “So… that’s why I said it cannot be destroyed. If you want to destroy it, you have to fight him. One of you will be injured or even die. He’s your Feng Cang Celestial Emperor, I’m sure you won’t want to injure… Huh? Huh!”

Before he could complete his sentence, Yi Qing and Lonemoon had already rushed out with their swords. They showed no signs of hesitation as they swung their swords down on Chen Ge. At the same instant, the man inside the array, Chen Ge, opened his eyes. There was no focus in his gaze. His movements as he fought with them were as mechanical as a wooden puppet .

What luck! They had been waiting to beat this asshole for the longest time!

Chu Xuan: “…”

Was it an error of perception? Why did he have the feeling that these two sword immortals seemed overly eager to fight? Don’t the citizens of Feng Cang continent look up to their emperor?
