Chapter 235 - Radish’s Indignation (1/2)

Perhaps it was because they had done it before – this time, Lan Hua was especially fast in setting up the array. Within one hour, he had completed the set-up. Thick demonic Qi began to surge around him, covering the entire garden in an instant. The sky darkened. The originally lively garden seemed much quieter. The demonic Qi rose like vines. It covered the entire ground, together with the array. Even Radish, who had been playing with the soil, suddenly paused. It looked at the garden very seriously and waited for a huge radish to spring up.
Awhile later, it raised its leaf and pointed toward a potato on its right. “Over there, Little Big Sister, it’s over there! Over there!”
The next moment, they heard a plop. A huge potato appeared on the ground and another pit appeared. A familiar voice sounded from the pit. “Sect… Master?”
“Little Tong!” Chengyu exclaimed. She ran forward immediately and picked the potato up. There was another plop. She bent over into the pit to pick the potato up again. Chengyu was obviously unsteady – the potato was becoming larger and smaller alternately.
“This…” Chengyu looked extremely confused. What was going on?
“Little Shortie!” Shen Ying’s face fell. She stepped forward and squatted by the side of the pit. “What exactly happened? Where are you?”
Xuan Tong’s body was still becoming bigger and smaller alternately. She looked like she was struggling against something. Her voice came intermittently. “I don’t… I am. Sect… in here… I have never seen… sealed and there can’t be… he’s not… divine being…”
Suddenly, her voice vanished completely. The potato also disappeared, leaving behind an empty pit. The demonic Qi surrounding them dissipated at once.
“What’s going on?” Lonemoon looked into the empty pit and turned to face the person in the array. “Lan Hua, this is… Lan Hua!”
Pui…
Lan Hua spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was white as a sheet, as if he had been seriously injured.
“Holy shit! What’s happened to you?!” Lonemoon jumped. Everybody was obviously shocked as well.
Lan Hua did not answer him. He clutched his chest as he became paler by the second. Yi Qing stepped forward to feel his pulse and then frowned. “The array backfired!”
“How can that be?” Lonemoon’s eyes widened. This was not the first time Lan Hua set up such an array. The last time, he managed to drag seven or eight souls over at once without much effort. Why was he reacting this way this time?
“Somebody cast a spell on Xuan Tong – not just her body, her entire soul is immobilised!” Lan Hua inhaled sharply and said, “That person’s aura… is very strange! It felt neither like immortal Qi or demonic Qi!”
“He’s neither an immortal nor a demon. Could he be a divine being?”
“No!” Lan Hua shook his head. “It’s definitely not a divine being. The aura felt like… I can’t put my finger to it. All I know is once I got in touch with it, I got attacked!”
Lonemoon’s expression fell. Xuan Tong – this unlucky child. Why did it have to be her all the time? At least there was a certain target the previous times; this time, they were not even sure who the being was after. What could be confirmed was that this person took her by force.
“Your injuries are not light – regulate your body quickly!” Yi Qing reminded Lan Hua.
Lan Hua crossed his legs and began to regulate his body. The demonic Qi in his body was now extremely unstable – sometimes it was there and sometimes it was not.
