Chapter 198 Yu Yangzis Nemesis (1/2)

Xiao Chen sighed in relief after hearing what the woman said. Right then, Yu Yangzi's voice drifted from outside the palace. ”Young friend, are you inside? I've already eliminated the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator for you. Hurry up and open the formation. That devil can change into many forms to manipulate your emotions. You mustn't fall for it...”

”How dare this old thing still try and fool me at this time.” Xiao Chen sneered. Just as he was about to shout at and mock Yu Yangzi, the woman behind him gestured him to be quiet. ”Shh...”

”The formation has become less secure after you come in. If this man tries to charge in, he may not necessarily fail.”

Xiao Chen began to get nervous. ”What should we do? This man has very high cultivation. I'm not a match for him at all.”

The woman chuckled as a crafty glint flitted across her pupils. Compared to her cold exterior or sorrowful expression earlier, she looked rather mischievous as she said, ”Come over here.”

Xiao Chen immediately obeyed her order. The woman whispered many things into his ear as he repeatedly nodded. He knew what to do.

Yu Yangzi must have used his Divine Sense to observe how Murong Xian'er broke the formation earlier and would now surely try and replicate her ways. However, if one wanted to break such a grand formation, one would have to break it according to the owner's sequence of formation points. Otherwise, one would suffer harm instead.

The woman wanted Xiao Chen to go out and mislead Yu Yangzi by deliberately telling him an incorrect sequence of formation points. The moment Yu Yangzi poured in his vital force into the different sequence of formation points, she would trigger her spiritual energy. That would be bound to hurt Yu Yangzi.

”That's all to it. Remember to put on a convincing act or you won't be able to fool him.”

Xiao Chen patted his chest with a smile. ”Rest assured, senior. Leave it up to me!” He took several steps forward and lay down on the ground. He started rolling around while making all sorts of pained screams.

Outside, Yu Yangzi yelled, ”Young friend? What happened to you?”

Xiao Chen screeched, ”It's a female devil! She wants to possess me! Senior, please hurry up and save me!”

Yu Yangzi's expression turned somber. He yelled, ”Don't panic, young friend! I'm coming! Hurry and tell me the location of the formation points!”

The pained screams went on without an end as Xiao Chen put on a believable act. Feigning as if he was having a hard time talking, he cried, ”Start south of the Heaven line, 13 steps to the left... Interrupt at the 17th step on the Earth line... Then turn at the Fire position on the Water line...”

Yu Yangzi hesitated. His formation proficiency was far beneath Xiao Chen's. Moreover, even though Xiao Chen was talking gibberish, there was a sliver of truth weaved in every lie he said. What was fake sounded real instead.

”This female devil is really strong! I... Argh!”

Yu Yangzi was silent for a moment before finally yelling, ”Don't be scared, young friend! I'm coming to save you!” His gaze, however, was icy-cold as he thought, ”Once I get in there, your souls are all mine!”

He started activating some of his True Energy and investigated the vital force in every position according to Xiao Chen's instructions. When he found every one of them, he thought, ”This kid is at death's door, so he really didn't lie.” He immediately triggered all the True Energy in his body. However, it was in that split second that a fierce power retaliated against him from every point of the formation.

The power of the countercharge was vicious. Yu Yangzi couldn't react in time and ended up coughing blood as he was sent flying. Large chunks of his freshly-grown skin and flesh fell off.

Inside the hidden palace, the woman chuckled. ”Success! You can stop rolling on the ground. That man's Soul has suffered great damage. No matter what, he won't be able to charge into this formation in the next three days.”

Murong Xian'er couldn't help breaking out in laughter after seeing Xiao Chen rolling around while screeching. Grinning, he got up from the ground and patted the dust off his clothes. He walked over to them and said with a smile, ”It's all thanks to your resourcefulness, senior.”

The woman rose to her feet and hit him gently on the forehead. With a voice that carried a hint of anger, she said, ”There were quite a few people who regarded me a little witch, but you're the first who dared to call me that to my face. You're really quite brave.”

Xiao Chen smiled sheepishly. He found her current state to be much lovelier than her previous grim expression. He immediately saluted her and said, ”I'm Xiao Chen. How should I address you, senior?”

The woman gave him a weak glare. ”Don't keep calling me your senior. I'm Su Xiaomei.”
