Chapter 141: Father, Do You Really Think Your Daughter Is That Stupid?
At this moment, only Xia Yunxi and Lin Fengmian remained in the city lord’s courtyard, tasked with protecting Wen Qinlin. After all, as the focal point of the array, Wen Qinlin could not move. If she was attacked and forced to retaliate, it could easily disrupt the entire formation.
Lin Fengmian and Xia Yunxi stood in the air, watching the city lord’s mansion prepare for battle, waiting for Zhao Yazhi to make her move out of the shadows.
The city lord’s main hall, where the array was set up, was guarded by numerous protectors. The battle in the city was raging, and the Fox Demon had also joined in, releasing blades of wind that hit the barrier, causing it to shake and nearly collapse.
Wen Qinlin focused all her attention on controlling the array to counter the stubborn fox demon. Her body swayed, clearly struggling with the effort.
At that moment, a fast red figure rushed towards the main hall where Lin Fengmian was standing.
Lin Fengmian smiled faintly and said, “Zhao Yazhi, I’ve been waiting for you!”
He scooped up Xia Yunxi and moved forward, his fingers forming the sword seal as sword light swirled around him like fish, aiming at the red figure.
Xia Yunxi, who was being held by him, was also on high alert. She let out a scream and several small knives flew out of her sleeves, turning into streaks of light and stabbing at the red figure.
Zhao Yazhi sneered and said, “Lin Fengmian, do you really think you can stop me?”
She suddenly let out a fierce scream, her hands quickly crossed, and with incredible speed, she deflected the incoming sword light and knives.
She moved like a wild beast, jumping from one wall to the other, easily dodging Lin Fengmian’s attacks.
Surprised by her speed, Lin Fengmian stood back to back with Xia Yunxi, forming a defensive formation.
Wen Qinlin, who was watching from the sky, saw the situation and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. However, Lin Fengmian subtly shook his head at her.
Zhao Yazhi stood on the wall of the city lord’s mansion, her eyes gradually turning blood red and fangs sprouting from her mouth. A powerful surge of demonic energy erupted from her body.
She unleashed her true power without restraint, then her body flashed and turned into a red lightning bolt as she charged at Lin Fengmian and Xia Yunxi.
Her speed was so great that it was hard to keep track of her. In an instant, she was in front of them, her sharp fangs aimed at Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian remained calm in the face of danger, causing his flying sword to emit a beam of light, attempting to block Zhao Yazhi’s attack.
Xia Yunxi followed closely, using her small knives to stab at Zhao Yazhi, trying to restrict her movement.
However, Zhao Yazhi easily dodged Lin Fengmian’s sword light and nimbly maneuvered in the air, avoiding Xia Yunxi’s knives.
Suddenly, she swooped down from the side. Lin Fengmian only saw a red blur and managed to raise his sword in front of him just in time to be pushed back.
He quickly recovered, held Xia Yunxi, and gathered the sword light to protect them both before landing awkwardly on the ground.
Zhao Yazhi took the opportunity to break through the array, crashing through the main door and quickly entering the hall.
“I told you, you can’t stop me!”
Lin Fengmian quickly stood up and smiled faintly, “Who said I would stop you?”
He quickly formed seals with his hands, activating the array in the hall and trapping the entire place.
It was only now that Zhao Yazhi realized that she had been tricked. The hall was empty, and the surrounding array had already been activated, trapping her.
“Impossible, I clearly sensed him here! Could it be that…”
She quickly looked down and gritted her teeth, “In the underground chamber!”
Lin Fengmian smiled faintly, “You guessed right, they are in the underground chamber. You could use the secret passage to get in, so I hide them in the chamber.”
“I put a lot of effort into setting this trap to invite you in.”
This trap was specially arranged by him and Wen Qinlin, and Master Huanglong and the others were indeed in the hall.
However, they were in the underground chamber separated by a thick floor.
Zhao Yazhi quickly rushed to the city lord’s throne, but no matter how she twisted the dragon heads on the armrests, the mechanism remained unresponsive.
“Yazi, give up. I have already activated the Dragon Cutting Stone, the mechanism is no longer effective,” Zhao Yucheng said with a blank expression.
Zhao Yazhi felt a tremendous pressure pressing down on her from all sides, the suppressive power of the array making her movements increasingly difficult.
She turned around with a dazed look, her expression twisted, “Did you tell them about the mechanism of the city lord’s residence?
Zhao Yucheng nodded, “I am curious, how did you know about the city’s mechanism? This is something that only the city lords have known throughout history.”
Zhao Yazhi was in no hurry. She sat down on the city lord’s throne and smiled, “Father, do you really think your daughter is that stupid?”
Zhao Yucheng’s expression was pained, “I wish you were as stupid as I thought you were. Why are you doing this?”
Zhao Yazhi remained calm, “Seeking immortality and enlightenment, it is their honor to become my nourishment.”
“As long as I succeed, I will ascend in one step and directly reach the Core Formation realm. What a pity!”
Lin Fengmian looked at her increasingly pale face and couldn’t help but admire her, “Zhao Yazhi, I take back my words. You are not just a big-breasted, empty-headed woman.”
“Making false accusations, using others to do your dirty work, driving wolves to chase tigers, you play these games so smoothly. You are smarter than I imagined, but you are using your intelligence in the wrong way.”
Zhao Yazhi sneered, “What is the point of saying that now? You have already figured out my plan.”
Zhao Yucheng still tried to plead for Zhao Yazhi, his face filled with sorrow and pain, “Fengmian, Yazi was just deceived by others. Please let her go.”
As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Fengmian, but Zhao Yazhi suddenly stood up.
She sternly said, “Father, you don’t need to beg for me. Everything was done by me, and I take full responsibility.”
Lin Fengmian helped Zhao Yucheng to his feet and nodded slowly, “Taking responisbility, that’s more straightforward than before. What a pity.”
Zhao Yazhi smiled strangely, “There is nothing to pity. In fact, I should be thanking you.”
“Otherwise, I would still be deceived by that Huang Long and foolishly became his supplement.”
Lin Fengmian pondered, “You learned the true purpose of the Demon Core from us and realized Huang Long’s true intentions, so you planned to get rid of him?”
“So you deliberately killed Old Lady Zhu and lured us to Tai Xu Temple to use our hands to bind him?”
Zhao Yazhi smiled, “Exactly. After I discovered the demon aura on Song Youwei, I deliberately lured you there.”
“I knew you liked her and would clear her name, so I deliberately hinted at the peculiarities of Tai Xu Temple to you.”
“My stupid senior brother lived up to my expectations and successfully tricked Huang Long. I was so happy to see you bring them back with you tied up.”
Lin Fengmian stroked his chin and asked puzzled, “If the Demon Testing Stone hadn’t appeared and disrupted your plan, your next step would have been to take advantage of the chaos to kill Huang Long?
“Although I guessed that he was your target, I didn’t understand what you gained by killing him. Could it be that it benefited you in some way?”
