Chapter 1143: Long Feiye actually asks for forgiveness (1/2)

Bai Yanqing refused to believe that Long Feiye had found the Life Door. He assumed the man was saying lies on purpose to lure him out.

But Gu Beiyue replied, “I’ve found it too, it’s in the kun position.”[1]

Now Bai Yanqing was stunned. Indeed, the Life Door was location in the kun position, his current hiding spot. But the two men hadn’t taken any steps before seeing through his array! He would have doubted them if he hadn’t heard it with his own ears!

As the shock wore off, Bai Yanqing grew tense as his eyes turned venomous. Since they’re good enough to find the Life Door, I’ll wait here until they come closer. I’ll have that stinkin’ brat Long Feiye learn the meaning of overestimating his skills to seek death!

As the Life Door was a dead-ended “Death Door,” this would be the most dangerous spot in the Seven Murders Array. As long as Long Feiye’s group got closer, he had plenty of ways to separate them!

Long Feiye had made him beg in that canyon so many times, but now he was going to reverse the favor! Bai Yanqing’s rage simmered as he stood behind a wordless stele, body half-turned to observe Long Feiye’s group.

But in the end, he discovered that Gu Beiyue and Gu Qishao had disappeared.

“It’s a Life and Death Door,” Long Feiye said. “There’s no way to break this array beyond changing it ourselves!”

What?

Bai Yanqing gaped at the words, thoroughly terrified! After all, this Seven Murders Array was the pinnacle of his studies and his ultimate ace. How did Long Feiye learn it? And see through it?

No!

While Bai Yanqing was still reeling, Long Feiye had already flung a pebble hidden in his sleeve towards Bai Yanqing’s hiding spot. A seal array was like a chessboard. To experts, a small change could wreck the entire playing field and even create something all new. The wordless stele by Bai Yanqing’s side vanished into nothingness as a new one took its place. He stood there, heart shaken.

Long Feiye actually replaced the entire Seven Murders Array with an original eight-trigrams array. For a formation like this, the Life and Death Doors were in separate locations. In other words, Bai Yanqing was no standing by the Death Door and the master of the array was Long Feiye instead!

Bai Yanqing’s mind blanked out. Even the highest experts in Wind Clan history can’t compare to someone of this caliber!

Their clan members were born with the talent to manipulate the wind and were required to study the Qimen Dunjia arts. For the past few centuries, they took pride in their mastery of array formations. Anyone who mentioned the Qimen Dunjia arts were sure to think of the Wind Clan before anyone else!

But as the head of the Wind Clan, he’d been bested by his own array today?

If this got out, he’d be a laughingstock. Even Bai Yanqing himself couldn’t accept the reality. The blow was too much!

Thanks to the formation of the Death Door next to him, Bai Yanqing’s surroundings grew chilly and dark. It seemed as if someone could slip out of the darkness to kill him at any second. Soon enough, this shadow multiplied into multiple figures instead. Bai Yanqing knew it was only an illusion. There was only one real person in that crowd! But he couldn’t tell who it was!

Each door was one node that hid at least one real human. The rest were all fakes, but who would Long Feiye hide in the node of the Death Door? Despite his panic, Bai Yanqing had enough frame of mind to reason out the most likely suspect: Gu Qishao!

I won’t die, but I’ll be trapped in Gu Qishao’s vines! My only choice is to leave right now!

Bai Yanqing desperately fled from the Death Door but almost broke down when he reached the center of the seal array. Long Feiye had actually changed his original design into the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array! He had used the very same array in the back courtyard of General Mu’s estate to trap them in the past!

If Long Feiye has the heavenly skills to change my Seven Murders Array, he can definitely replace it with something stronger. Why choose such an easy to break formation? What’s he planning?

Although Bai Yanqing could see the Life Door--the exit--at a glance, he didn’t dare touch it. He began to think as he guarded against Long Feiye’s potentially hidden traps.

Meanwhile, Long Feiye had long helped Han Yunxi out of the array formation. Currently, husband and wife were standing outside the forest. In Han Yunxi’s eyes, she saw nothing but a grove of trees and a cemetery, but Long Feiye was controlling Bai Yanqing’s every single move. All it took was a flip of his hand to decide life or death.

“Bai Yanqing, this crown prince once lost to this formation. Today I’m giving it back to you!” Long Feiye said coldly.

Bai Yanqing was already uneasy, but he remained unmoving. “Do you think this will be enough to trap this old man?” he retorted.

“Since you didn’t kill this crown prince back then, I’ll give you a reminder. Gu Qishao is at the Death Door while Gu Beiyue is at the Life Door. See if you...dare to charge them!” Long Feiye replied.

Han Yunxi gave a start and looked at Long Feiye in amazement. Gu Beiyue had long left the array with them, so it was only Gu Qishao still inside! Moreover, he had told Gu Qishao to guard the Death Door, leaving the Life Door open for anyone to exit.

Isn’t this too much of a risk?

But when she saw his chilly gaze on the trees, she didn’t dare disturb him. She glanced at Gu Beiyue with worried eyes, but he simply smiled soundlessly. Han Yunxi looked up at Long Feiye again and he stroked her hair without a word.

Fine. Since they’re both so calm, why should I panic? I’ll just watch the show!
