In the dim underground prison, a cold beauty in a white dress was silently sitting down cross-legged. At this moment, her head was slightly lifted, and she saw the figure on Spiritual Jade Island as if her vision was able to pierce through the ground.
”Mu Chen.” A faint smile slowly cracked on Ling Xi's elegant face. Back when snatching the Great Protection Array of Spiritual Jade Island, her spiritual senses had already extended outwards and shrouded the whole island. Therefore, she had witnessed that the currently matured Mu Chen was no longer an inexperienced young man. Apparently, during all these years, Mu Chen had really grown up.
”Mu Chen, I will help you restrain that Complete Earthly Sovereign. However, you guys still need to handle the remaining two,” Ling Xi muttered. Using the Great Array left by Qing Yanjing, even though Green Snake Ancestor was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, she still had confidence that she could keep him trapped. However, this was all she could do. Mu Chen and the others still had to deal with Lion King Gu and Evil Fish Liang themselves.
Looking at the dark ground layer with her beautiful eyes, Ling Xi's low voice slowly rang out in the silent prison, ”Let me see how much you have grown after all these years.”
On Spiritual Jade Island.
When the Cosmic Descent Star Array suddenly changed its target and trapped Green Snake Ancestor, Long Xiang was completely stunned. He never expected things would take such a turn.
”Sister Ling Xi must have been taken over this spiritual array.” Mu Chen smirked and was not surprised by this turn of events. That was because when the spiritual array appeared, he could faintly sense Ling Xi's spiritual fluctuation. Normal people could not detect this type of spiritual fluctuation. Only Mu Chen, who was also a Spiritual Array Master, could sense it. That was why when Lion King Gu activated the spiritual array to capture him, he did not resist at all. He knew that the attack would be redirected in the end.
”Ling Xi?” Long Xiang's face was full of consternation as he said, ”How can she do that?”
Staring at Spiritual Jade Island, Mu Chen mused, ”Didn't you mention before this island was the place my mother rested calmly? She might have left something here. And in all the years Sister Ling Xi has been confined here, in reality, she might have been just training in secret.”
Hearing this, Long Xiang was shocked and quickly replied, ”That is it. I am afraid that is the case. I was wondering why Ling Xi would come here and hurl herself right into the trap, allowing Lion King Gu to confine her in this place. So, she had an ulterior motive!”
Mu Chen smiled. Looking at the ashen-faced Green Snake Ancestor, Mu Chen said, ”Since Sister Ling Xi handled one of them for us, we shall deal with the remaining two ourselves.”
Listening to his words, Long Xiang gave a hollow laugh. Even though Green Snake Ancestor is trapped, Lion King Gu and Evil Fish Liang are both authentic Complete Earthly Sovereigns. How can the three of them win against them?
”Brother Long Xiang, if you team up with Luo Li, you guys should be able to fight head on with one of the Complete Earthly Sovereigns.”
Long Xiang was stunned for a moment and then turned his gaze towards Luo li. He understood her background quite well. Knowing Luo Li had cultivated the Luo God Celestial Body, her combat power was beyond his imagination. Even though she was still a Lower Earthly Sovereign, Long Xiang would still have to put in a lot of effort to defeat her if they were to fight. Hence, if they were to team up, handling a Complete Earthly Sovereign would not be an impossible task.
But if things are set up this way, won't Mu Chen have to face a Complete Earthly Sovereign alone?
As Long Xiang was hesitating, Luo Li smiled slightly and said, ”Brother Long Xiang, you don't have to worry about him. If he arranged the matchup this way, he must have confidence about this.”
Apparently, she still had utmost faith in Mu Chen. Listening to her words, Long Xiang nodded, smiled wryly, and said, ”If the situation worsens, we shall retreat first. Then Lion King Gu will dare not to do anything to Ling Xi.”
Mu Chen smiled but had no comment.
As they spoke, Lion King Gu and Evil Fish Liang turned their shadowy gazes towards them. Apparently, they had understood the change in the spiritual array. Looking at Green Snake Ancestor, Lion King Gu spoke with a somber expression, ”Don't panic, Green Snake. You just focus on attacking to prevent that lowly woman from activating the array. When we get a hold of those three guys, we will release you immediately.”
Green Snake Ancestor grunted but slowly regained his composure. Although this turn of events was unexpected, it did not matter in the long run. With Lion King Gu and Evil Fish Liang's strength, handling the three weaklings would be a piece of cake.
After reassuring Green Snake Ancestor, Lion King Gu turned his cold gaze towards Mu Chen. His eyes were so cold that it seemed to make the place's temperature drop. ”Do you think that lowly woman can save you with her surprise attack? Today you shall fall at my hands. You can't escape, even if you grow a pair of wings right now!”
Bam!
As soon as Lion King Gu's voice faded, a spiritual fluctuation suddenly brewed up like a typhoon. It was so scary, it left the land itself in turmoil. A terrifying spiritual pressure surrounded the sky and earth.
