120 Jailbreaking Foxes (1/2)
Chen Wentian, as He Xingping, nearly fell over in shock when he sensed the first batch of three Spirit Lords arrive at the battlefield. From the three auras, they were Qu Shen's faction and he was completely astounded that the Eagle lord would commit his entire forces. When the other two Spirit Lords, he didn't fall over. No, he simply wanted to collapse to the ground in laughter. He was only stopped by the fact his men would find it really suspicious.
He had retreated to a safe distance once Qu Shen had appeared. But now, the entire region was no longer safe. He turned to Hong Qi besides him. ”Hurry, pull all of our men and scouts back. Abandon camp and retreat to the city immediately!”
His mission here was complete. The only job left was to keep himself alive in case those immortal idiots really got into it.
”Yes sir!” His men immediately responded and burst into action.
They also didn't want to stick around and see if they would become road kill during an all-out brawl between eight immortals. They were all on their horses and escaping at their fasted speed within a few seconds...

Jasmine rolled on the bed giggling as Chen Wentian narrated what he observed through He Xingping. She found it hilarious and it lightened her spirits. Her escape would be effortless. The only remaining matter was how this little shadow fox was going to break her out. She believed in him but she still had a slight tinge of doubt and uncertainty.
Conserving his energy paid off as Chen Wentian still had about eighty percent of his power in the shadow fox. It would be a little tricky as the shadow fox by itself didn't have the greatest attack power and it was still at the Spirit Initiate Realm. Pulling other immortal souls across the soul link was possible but it decreased their power and it also drained a lot of energy at the same time.
Chen Wentian hadn't been sitting idle the past week and he already know the exact construction and structure of the prison's inscription array. It was quite strong and no Spirit Lord would have a chance of escaping from the inside. With all prisons, it also prevented anyone from trying to break it from the outside although that protection was much less intricate and durable. He guessed that He Zicheng was confident in the secret location of the deep tunnel and didn't bother too much with that part. The result was that there was a weak point on the master lock that opened the array controls.
He first tried turning into the Golden Serpent and coiled around the dinner plate sized ethereal lock to try and crush it. He failed multiple times before finally giving up. His thick tree trunk sized body was a bit too clumsy and big and it was no use. The Golden Serpent had a little bit of venom but it wasn't the strongest, so he didn't bother and reverted back to his shadow fox.
”Come on little fox! Are you going to fail me at the last moment?” Jasmine cried out in exasperation.
”Hey, I'm trying my best here, and you really aren't helping.”
”Hmph. if you can't open that lock then you are a lying two faced stupid asshole!”
