Chapter 337 - Reminiscence Town (1/2)

A bad premonition swiftly filled Xiao Chen’s mind. He immediately stood up and ran to the door of the stone chamber, patting it with as much force as he could muster. “Men! Hey!”

He shouted his voice hoarse, yet there was no response. He paced inside the stone chamber for a while before calming down and sitting down cross-legged on the wooden bed. He began attacking the seals that Perfected Immortal Guyang placed on him.

Hours later, Xiao Chen’s entire body was drenched with sweat. He finally managed to break Perfected Immortal Guyang’s seals. He immediately crushed open the door with both palms. The collision was loud but the stone door didn’t even shake.

“Men! I want to see the Elders! I want to see the Elders!”

Once again, no one came to check out all the screaming. Xiao Chen could sense several powers at work here, the kind that entrapped deities. He collapsed on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. A nightmare roused him the next day. He dreamed that both his family and the Three Pure Sect were wiped out, leaving everyone dead. His father lay in a pool of blood, as were Bai Ying, Xiao Han, Xiao Wan’er, Shangguan Yan, and the three princes. All of them died with grievances!

“Ahhh—Ling Fei! You dare to touch my people! I swear I’ll exterminate your entire family! Exterminate your entire family!”

Blue veins were protruding on Xiao Chen’s face. In a fit of derangement, he attacked the door with his palm. The collision was loud but the door didn’t even tremble. Neither hacking nor slashing worked. This stone door seemed impregnable.

Moments later, he condensed nine flames on the hollow of his palm. These were the Nine Heaven-scorching Flames. Of course, he wasn’t planning on bursting the door open with these. The chamber was so narrow that even if he was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, the explosion would still kill him.

He wanted to use the heat and the cold to expand and contract the door, in the same way he did for the stone door at Wuwang Wind Cloud City. He flung a blue flame at the door. The fire immediately flared up and enveloped the entire door.

The temperature inside the stone chamber abruptly rose and the hay on the bed was spontaneously combusting. Xiao Chen put on an ice-cold barrier around his body to counter the scorching heat. When the stone door was burning red, he flung the Roar of Ice Dragon Spirit at it. Following a sizzling sound, a layer of fog instantly enveloped the door and stifled him.

When the stone door was completely encased in ice, Xiao Chen struck it with Cyan Dragon Roars. Two illusory golden dragons surged forth magnificently and slammed on the door. The ice fragmented and swirled in the air while the door trembled. However, the door showed no sign of destruction.

“Argh—”

Xiao Chen howled like a madman and started hacking the door with his Blood Lotus Demon Blade. Sparks of fire sprang forth and the clanging of metal resounded nonstop. However, no matter how he tried, the stone door refused to budge. He then switched his targets and hacked the stone walls instead. Still, he couldn’t even land even the tiniest hint of destruction on them.

“Guifeng! Guifeng!”

He remembered the General of Soul that he had taken it, but Guifeng didn’t show himself no matter how he yelled. The Restriction here was too formidable.

Hour by hour, time passed. After exhausting all of his brainpower, he still couldn’t find a way of leaving this place. Gradually, he fell into despair again and his bad premonition only became stronger.

By the time the third day rolled around, Xiao Chen had severe dark circles under his eyes and wisps of blood covering the whites of his eyes. His hair was a mess around his shoulders and filth covered his face. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the stone door being opened from the outside.

With a shiver, he dashed over and banged on the door with all his strength. “Men! Let me out! I want to see the Elders!”

He heard the voice of an Immortals’ League disciple saying, “Miss Li, you only have thirty minutes. We mustn’t let the Elders know.”

“I understand. Thank you very much, Brothers. Here are 2,00,000 Spirit Stones.”

Then, all he heard was a flurry of steps coming toward his direction. The stone door gradually opened to reveal Li Muxue.

“Brother Xiao!”

The rim of Li Muxue’s eyes reddened after she saw Xiao Chen’s messy hair, dirty face, and obvious exhaustion. She immediately gave him a hug. Xiao Chen patted her on the back. “Muxue, why are you here…”

“Shh…” Li Muxue let go of him and signaled him to be quiet before gesturing at the door outside. She conjured a Soundproof Barrier so that the disciples outside wouldn’t hear their conversation but they could hear theirs.

Li Muxue then cast a spell and took out several items from her Divine Vessel. They were the necessary ingredients for the Magic Mimicry lesson that Xiao Chen taught her not long ago.

“Muxue, you…”

Li Muxue shook her head and said softly, “We only have thirty minutes. Undress now and give me your clothes.” She then turned her body around.

Xiao Chen sighed and said no more. It wouldn’t be so easy to charge out of the many layers of restrictions placed on this prison, leaving him no choice but to do this. Moments later, he finished undressing and handed his clothes to Li Muxue.

Li Muxue didn’t turn around, but he could imagine her cheeks reddening as she said, “Don’t turn around…”

“Yeah!” Xiao Chen nodded. He heard the rustling of a sash being undone and a delicate fragrance instantly filled the stone chamber. Soon, Li Muxue handed him her clothes and he speedily put them on. Thirty minutes later, both of them had completely switched their appearances.
