Chapter 388: 17, This is a Trial!_2
The Fourteenth Prince fell silent for a moment.
The sky gradually calmed, the light and shadows of the clouds dissipated, and the strong winds followed suit.
Yet, the Long Night Meteor Array still existed.
"Damn it..." The Fourteenth Prince looked towards Duke Heng and asked, "Does the Seventeenth Brother have any other means? I heard he has connections with the Fifth Brother. Is Lord Qi aware?"
Duke Heng slightly frowned, about to speak, when he suddenly turned his head to look.
In the sky not far away, a circular array of light suddenly appeared, drawn by rays of light, within which two female figures appeared, transitioning from illusion to reality.
One woman was tall and spirited, it was Baili Fengzhi.
The other was an exquisite beauty dressed in moon-white palace attire, wearing a veil that left her peaceful eyes visible as water, and a strange winding mark between her brows. Her whole aura was ethereal and otherworldly, like a Banished Immortal.
Duke Heng did not recognize her, but the Fourteenth Prince showed a hint of surprise.
"Bixu Yuanjun?" the Fourteenth Prince transmitted his thought.
Bixu Yuanjun glanced at him without speaking, merely looking down at the array and saying softly, "Is this the array?"
"Yes, Your Highness is trapped inside," Baili Fengzhi transmitted his thought, "Please, Senior, help us break the array."
"This array is ordinary," Bixu Yuanjun glanced over it as if seeing through its structure and said lightly, "Only the main array master is decent."
Then, she glanced at the Fourteenth Prince and Duke Heng beside her, saying, "I will guide, and the two of you strike with full force together. Even if the Twelfth Prince uses most of his power to maintain the array, a quarter-hour is enough to break it. It will also assist those inside."
Hearing this, the Fourteenth Prince immediately showed a glimmer of joy.
He naturally knew that this Bixu Yuanjun was someone who had achieved Dao through the mastery of arrays. Her proficiency in array formations was unmatched in the world.
Even the Sixth Prince, with his high level of Daoism, would take more than a quarter-hour to break the array, he thought!
Who would've thought the Seventeenth Brother had such skills, able to enlist someone like Bixu Yuanjun, who normally distanced herself from worldly matters?
"Very well." The Fourteenth Prince nodded in agreement immediately.
Bixu Yuanjun pointed with her fingertip, and faint traces of immortal aura transformed into light, flying toward the array.
At this moment—
"So, it's Yuanjun?"
Following a cheerful voice that carried a hint of laughter, a peculiar breeze swept through, dispersing the immortal aura akin to dust blown away by the wind.
Bixu Yuanjun gently furrowed her brow.
"Brother Prince Jing, do you still want to stop us?" The Fourteenth Prince's expression turned somewhat grim.
"No choice, I promised to help the Twelfth Brother. You all should leave. No one will die." That cheerful voice spoke.
They all fell silent.
With strength like the Third Prince's, if he insisted on obstructing them, they indeed had no way.
"That's it? No more tricks?"
Suddenly, a lazy, somewhat young-sounding voice came through in a divine thought, "I, alongside the Sixth Brother, will have a talk with the Third Brother. You all continue."
Duke Heng and the Fourteenth Prince immediately recognized it; it was the voice of the Fifth Prince, Prince Xuan!
With the Fifth and Sixth Princes working together, they could definitely suppress the Third Prince.
"Haha, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, is this necessary?"
From afar, came a helpless laugh from the Third Prince, "I've already tried my best. Do as you like."
The Fourteenth Prince immediately looked at Bixu Yuanjun and solemnly said, "Yuanjun, please begin."
...
Inside the Long Night Meteor Array.
Under the vast night sky, the Seventh Princess stood with her back to the passage staircase, coldly watching the Twelfth Prince.
At this moment, her aura was much stronger than before.
From reaching the Three Talents Heaven Barrier, more changes came in understanding. A Great Cultivator recognizes the Heaven and Earth Law, allowing their body and power to transform within it.
And Harmonization, was the process of bearing one's inner Dao with the Dao Heart, creating a void world within the mind. This was even faster; as long as the Dao Heart was strong enough to form a nascent shape of Dao, one could break through in a thought.
Only...
Once Harmonization was achieved, there was no turning back.
"It seems Seventh Sister already guessed I was here?"
The Twelfth Prince smiled and said, "Since you guessed, Seventh Sister still decided to Harmonize and Breakthrough? As soon as you break through, I can act. Are you more afraid of the Ascetic than me?"
"Even if I don't break through, won't Prince Cheng act?" The Seventh Princess slowly said, "Prince Cheng held back just to minimize the blame. If I can still resist, could Prince Cheng hold back?"
The Twelfth Prince nodded with a smile and said, "It seems Seventh Sister sees quite clearly, all prepared?"
"I've long heard of Prince Cheng's Poison Skill."
The Seventh Princess softly said, "But Prince Cheng should also know, what I'm best at is the medicine path and healing arts. Now that I've Harmonized and Broken through, I just want to test... if my medicine can cure Prince Cheng's poison?"
"Interesting." The Twelfth Prince laughed.
He slightly shook his head, then fixed his gaze on the Seventh Princess, sighing, "Medicinal poison is easy to cure. Heart Poison, how can it be cured?"
In a single thought, the formless Heart Phase Poison was planted.
The Seventh Princess's face first turned deathly pale, then flushed red, then turned green, with a layer of black aura casting over her.
"Seventh Sister, I've implanted fifteen kinds of Heart Poison within you," the Twelfth Prince smiled and said, "Though it won't be fatal, it will make you wish for death. If you hand over the Phoenix Crown, your elder brother will detoxify you. How about it?"
At this moment, the Seventh Princess suddenly parted her delicate lips slightly and exhaled, a colorless yet multicolored illusory poisonous mist spilling from her mouth.
And her complexion returned to its original state.
The Twelfth Prince showed a hint of astonishment.
