Lan Hua said that Radish hung out at the rear mountain the most. Its aura could still be sensed there. That was why it was most appropriate for them to set up the array there. Yu Hong followed his instructions and place Radish’s dandelion in the pit that it always laid in before. Lan Hua set cross-legged atop the rear mountain, conjuring different spells with his hands. Huge amounts of black demonic Qi filled the entire rear mountain in a very short span of time. Shreds of black condensed to form a huge black array formation.

They watched as everything around them turned darker and darker. The dandelion was filled with spirit Qi before, but now it looked slightly wilted under the dim lighting. The other immortal herbs scattered around the field also began to look listless as the demonic Qi filled the air.

But Radish remained motionless in the pit. It did not even look like it was going to transform into a human anytime soon. Lan Hua, on the other hand, began to perspire. Drops of perspiration formed on his forehead and the demonic Qi in the air seemed to get weaker.

“The immortal Qi here is too strong,” Biao Ting suddenly said, as if sensing something. “The demonic Qi is being suppressed. Let me try to help him.”

He conjured a spell. There was a flash of golden light. Among the immortal herbs on the rear mountain, a faint golden meridian formed. It pushed Lan Hua’s demonic Qi aside. Biao Ting quickly conjured another spell and withdrew a long rectangular jade box. He quickly retracted the spell that he cast. The golden light turned into sparks of gold that flew straight into the box.

“Exalted Goddess, I’ve temporarily sealed the immortal meridian on this land,” Biao Ting said as he handed the box over to Shen Ying. “Without the immortal meridian suppressing it, Celestial Emperor can set up his array more easily.”

Shen Ying nodded. “Thank you for your hard work!” She took the box and handed it over to Yu Hong, then turned toward the Radish field in the rear mountain. Indeed, after Biao Ting kept the meridian, the faint demonic Qi became much richer. All the immortal herbs were now collapsed on the ground, looking wilted.

The Heart Entrapping Array was almost complete. The array looked almost whole. What looked like a dense spiderweb enclosed the entire rear mountain. Radish began to glow red as it lay in the pit. The red glow became brighter and brighter, and looked like it was condensing to form something.

They’re going to succeed!

At the same time.

Lonemoon’s face fell as he sat within the array.

“Radish, have you discovered anything?”

“No!” Radish retracted its long leaves and shook its head. “My leaves can’t stretch out of this place. The moment it touches something, it bounces back.”

Lonemoon’s expression turned uglier. They had been stuck within the array for a couple of days now. All the immortal power in his body had been suppressed. He could not even move. What’s worse was that the array under his feet was extremely strange – he had not even seen it before. It looked like it could stretch out for miles and miles in all directions, but he could see no further than a two feet radius. Everything else was covered in a white fog.

That was why he could not tell where exactly they were trapped. Even Radish, who was sprawled out on his legs, was limited. Only two of its leaves could move. At first, Lonemoon wanted to make use of Radish’s leaves to find out about the array, but now even Radish’s leaves couldn’t stretch out far enough.

“Little Big Sister will surely come and rescue Radish,” Radish assured Lonemoon. “Don’t worry.”

Lonemoon frowned. Even if Shen Ying wanted to rescue them, she had to first find out where they were. Given the way that they were captured, Lonemoon guessed that it would be extremely difficult for Shen Ying to find clues as to where they were. He was just thinking about how to send a message out to Shen Ying when a blinding white light shot out from the array underneath them. Even the white fog began to dissipate. They saw a figure somewhere nearby.

“Radish, quick, hide!” Lonemoon called out. He turned to focus on the man on his right.

Beside him, the figure was becoming clearer and clearer. A moment later, he could make out a man in blue robes. He looked extremely familiar.

“Tao Shu!” Why was it him!

Hearing Lonemoon’s cry, the man jumped. “Lonemoon, what are you doing here?”

Lonemoon just started to explain, but a familiar voice came from his left. “Lonemoon? Its Young Emperor Lonemoon!”
