Shen Ying walked towards the stone tablet. Instantly, the array light on top of the tablet flashed. She walked straight through it without encountering any resistance. A familiar voice rang out from a yellow voice transmission talisman which she was holding in her hand.
“Shen Ying, can you hear me? Do you see the red array formation in front of you?”
Shen Ying took a look at the red light flickering in the distance and nodded. Then she remembered that the person at the other end could not see her and replied, “Yes.”
“Enter the array on the left. You will find a piece of immortal stone in the center of the array.” Lonemoon explained. “Do you see it?”
“Yes.”
“Very good. That stone is the switch which activates the array. Remove the stone and let us in.”
“All right!”
“We’re here to investigate, not to fight. Don’t touch anything other than the stone.”
“All right.”
“Remember, it’s the array on the left. The stone on the right is an array stone, removing it will cause…”
Before he could complete his sentence, there was a loud boom. The stone tablet which blocked off access to the Heavenly Gate, came crashing down and shattered into little pieces on the ground. Through a cloud of dust, Shen Ying could faintly see someone holding onto an array stone, a stunned expression on his face.
The four of them: “…”
“Er…” Shen Ying glanced at the immortal stone in her hand.”Is it switched off?”
“…”
Flips table!
“Switched off, my foot!” She had destroyed the entire array! Lonemoon was hopping mad. “You just love destroying things, don’t you? I know you are a navigation idiot, but at least you should know right from left!”
“Isn’t this left?” I know where my left is, it’s the hand I used to pick up my bowl.
“You’re now facing us, so of course this is your left. I meant the direction you came from, where you entered, do you understand?”
“…” So you’re blaming me?
“Who are you people! How dare you break into the Sea Cloud Palace?” Several immortals, all carrying immortal weapons, came flying over. Within moments, they were entirely surrounded. Curiously, they were all female immortals.
The leader of the group took a look at the shattered stone tablet and glared at them. “How dare you damage his highness’ sacred decree tablet! Seize them!” She gave a signal with her hand and the surrounding immortals charged towards them.
“Stop!” Chen Ge stepped forwards, unleashing the suppressing aura of a celestial emperor. “I’m Chen Ge. I’ve come here to discuss some matters with your emperor.”
“You’re the emperor of Feng Cang?” Intimidated by his aura, the female immortal stepped back. Her expression changed and she swept a glance at them. “We of Sea Cloud do not have relations with other continents. Even if you are the emperor of Feng Cang, you don’t have the right to destroy our sacred decree tablet!”
“We…” Chen Ge glanced at Shen Ying, who, after passing the array stone to Yi Qing, started munching on a piece of fruit. He had no choice but to come up with an explanation. “This is a misunderstanding! There were no guards at the Heavenly Gate and we could not find anyone to pass our message. So we tried to unlock the array. Unfortunately, we destroyed the array by accident.”
The female immortal was unmoved by his explanation. Looking at them warily, she said, “I don’t care who you are! Male immortals are not allowed into the palace. Anyone who defies the order… will be killed!”
She gave a signal with her hand and the immortals moved towards them.Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, a male voice suddenly rang out.
“Exalted Immortal Zhu Yun, what’s the trouble?”
A male immortal descended and landed next to the female immortal. He was clad in blue robes and wore a purple crown on his head. His hands were clasped behind his back and there was a stern expression on his face. Immortal qi swirled around his body. There was something familiar about his face.
“What happened to the Ji Yang array?” He was shocked to see the ground covered with stone fragments. He raised his eyes subconsciously towards the person is front and said, “Aren’t you Emperor Chen Ge? Why have you come…” His words trailed off as he spotted something. His eyes widened and he exploded in anger, “Lan Hua!”
