Emperor of the Mysterious Heavens

Chapter 10: Chapter 021 Cage Appeal

In the blink of an eye, there were nearly ten thousand human faces on the wall of the hall. The faces were crying, heart-wrenching. Everyone seemed to be in the underworld hell, filled with endless sorrow.

"Buzz!"

"Woo woo woo!"

"Ahhhhh!"

"Um um um!"

...

As nearly ten thousand crying sounds emerged, it immediately became extremely noisy, directly impacting one's emotions, and one's emotions were fragmented by the infection.

The sad crying and all kinds of desolation made people's minds and spirits be destroyed.

Some silver-armored soldiers suddenly felt dizzy and swayed.

Yan Chuan immediately noticed something wrong with the silver-armored soldiers.

"Stand firm like a mountain. Exclusive Vajra Seal!" Yan Chuan shouted.

This shout contained a hint of imperial will and overpowered the countless cries.

The three thousand soldiers immediately shuddered and woke up from that inexplicable sadness. Quickly, they formed hand seals.

While silently chanting the true words, it was as if a ripple spread out from the bottom of their hearts, immediately expelling all the sadness and restlessness.

"Whoosh!"

There were long sighs of lingering fear among the three thousand soldiers.

When they looked at the sad faces on the wall again, everyone was extremely frightened. At the same time, they dared not relax their hand seals at all.

"Prince!" Liu Jin worriedly looked at Yan Chuan.

Yan Chuan gently shook his head, indicating to talk later.

"Blue Dragon Seal! Break it for me!"

Blue Dragon shouted loudly. He formed a hand seal in his hand. A cyan light emerged from the hand seal, looking like a dragon but not quite a dragon. It fiercely struck the wall.

"Boom!"

The Blue Dragon Seal hit the wall. The violent impact immediately created a strong wind that blew fiercely over the three thousand soldiers.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

...

The soldiers were continuously pushed back by this powerful aura.

"How could this be?" Not far away, Blue Dragon exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked. On the wall, there was only a pit one zhang in diameter and half a zhang deep.

The powerful Blue Dragon Seal could only cause such a small amount of damage?

Not only that, the damaged wall was strangely restoring itself. The pit was being filled automatically. Moreover, the destroyed sad faces were also being restored strangely.

"Big brother, your Blue Dragon Seal can only cause such a little damage? And this wall can restore itself automatically? Then when can it be broken?" White Tiger's face was ugly as he said.

"Mr. Yan?" Mo Yuxi anxiously looked at Yan Chuan.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Chuan shook his head and said, "This cage is empowered by the earth's dragon vein. He can't open it! At least not now!"

"Mr. Yan, you know this formation well. But how can we get out? I want to get out. I must get out!" Mo Yuxi anxiously said.

"The feng shui master who set up this formation should have captured a nightmare from the underworld to set up the formation. In this formation, there is a nightmare hidden among the thirty-four thousand sad faces! Find the nightmare and kill it!" Yan Chuan did not hide anything.

"Then destroy them one by one! One hundred and three thousand sad faces? Let's destroy them all!" Mo Yuxi firmly said.

Shaking his head, Yan Chuan wryly smiled and said, "The nightmare doesn't stay in just one sad face. It can inhabit any sad face. If you destroy one sad face, soon because of the earth's dragon vein, it can be restored again. The nightmare can then inhabit the sad face that you have excluded."

"Mr. Yan, I have an unavoidableDifficulties. I must obtain the things inside. Please help me break open the cage. Afterward, there will definitely be a generous reward!" Mo Yuxi anxiously said.

Shaking his head, Yan Chuan wryly smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth. I really haven't experienced this formation. I just heard about it. Breaking it open is impossible. Only when the nightmare finds you can you take the opportunity to find it!"

"It will find us?" Mo Yuxi's eyes lit up slightly.

"Yes. The nightmare can enter people's dreams and freely disrupt dreams, creating fear and sad emotions. It scatters people's yin souls and feeds on the power of yin souls. I will let my soldiers take turns falling asleep and try their best to find the nightmare. As for you, Blue Dragon, and White Tiger, it's best not to fall asleep!" Yan Chuan thought for a while and said.

"Why?" Mo Yuxi was puzzled.

"Because your cultivation is too high!" Yan Chuan said solemnly.

"You're worried that we will be taken advantage of by the nightmare? You doubt our willpower?" Mo Yuxi said in a deep voice.

Yan Chuansmile slightly, shook his head and said nothing more.

Turning around and looking at Huo Guang: "Set up camp!"

"Yes!"

Huo Guang quickly commanded the soldiers and put down the things they were carrying.

Some soldiers were carrying tents and quickly set up the tents. When they couldn't bear it, they would form the Immovable Vajra Seal. After calming their minds, they would continue working.

Mo Yuxi anxiously walked to the wall and carefully examined the sad faces on the wall, her eyes full of anxiety.

"Blue Dragon, keep destroying the sad faces. Keep an eye on the sad faces and attack!" Mo Yuxi said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Blue Dragon responded.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

There were bursts of roaring sounds around the walls. Blue Dragon continuously destroyed the sad faces, but the sad faces could be restored quickly.

On the other side, Yan Chuan's central army tent had been set up.

Yan Chuan ignored the outside world and entered it with Huo Guang and Liu Jin.

"Prince! Will we be trapped here forever?" Liu Jin worriedly said.

Yan Chuan nodded and said, "I know your worry. Now, how much food is left?"

"If the soldiers don't practice with meat, the meat and clear water we brought with us can probably only last about ten days!" Liu Jin immediately said.

"Then don't practice anymore! These days, be careful when sleeping. Make sure that when everyone is sleeping, there is someone watching. When someone has a nightmare, quickly use internal force to impact their glabella and wake them up!" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Also, when people who have had nightmares wake up, try to recall the moment when the dream disappears and which direction the nightmare fled. Shoot arrows at the sad faces on the wall according to the direction they point!" Yan Chuan said solemnly.

"Yes!"

"Bring my clothes. I want to change out of this blood-stained clothes!" Yan Chuan instructed Liu Jin.

Two days later.

"Saintess, all the sad faces have been destroyed once, but we still haven't found the nightmare!" Blue Dragon said with an ugly expression.

"I was too arrogant before." Mo Yuxi gave a wry smile.

"Saintess, we cultivate and accumulate yin virtues and don't involve in cultivating feng shui. The saintess doesn't understand feng shui. Don't belittle yourself. In cultivating and accumulating yin virtues, ten feng shui masters can't compare to the saintess!" White Tiger comforted on the side.

"I know." Mo Yuxi was helpless.

"Blue Dragon, these two days, you have been constantly attacking. I see that you are also tired. Take a rest with White Tiger!" Mo Yuxi looked at Blue Dragon.

"Yes!"

Blue Dragon and White Tiger went to rest on one side. Mo Yuxi, however, looked at the place where the three thousand soldiers were.

At this moment, most of the three thousand soldiers were actually practicing a military formation.

"Brothers, these days we can't practice. Let's practice this military formation well. This is the 'Tiger Army Formation' taught by the prince. Everyone knows the power of what the prince has taught. The prince will lead us on a path to the heavens. Do you want to walk on it wholeheartedly?" Huo Guang shouted loudly.

"Yes!" All the soldiers let out an excited roar.

All the soldiers understood Yan Chuan's intention. He wanted to lead the three thousand soldiers onto the path of cultivation together. At this moment, everyone showed a look of relief and cherishment.

"Good, then continue practicing!" Huo Guang shouted.

"Yes!" The morale of all the soldiers was like a rainbow.

Practicing a seemingly not very profound formation, the soldiers were extremely enthusiastic.

Mo Yuxi looked at this scene strangely: "Tiger Army Formation?"

Then, Mo Yuxi looked at the central army tent. Mo Yuxi was silent for a while. After a long time, she took a deep breath and walked towards the central army tent.

Inside the central army tent.

"Prince, in these two days, no one has had a nightmare!" Liu Jin respectfully said.

"This nightmare is really cunning!" Yan Chuan said solemnly.

"Prince, Miss Mo is asking to see you!" A soldier's announcement came from outside the tent.

"Oh? Let her in!" Yan Chuan was surprised.

"Yes!"

Soon, Mo Yuxi stepped in.

"Mr. Yan!" Mo Yuxi smiled.

"Miss Mo?" Yan Chuan looked at Mo Yuxi.

"Can I talk to you alone?" Mo Yuxi's face gradually became serious.

"Liu Jin, go out first!" Yan Chuan turned his head and said.

"Yes!" Liu Jin respectfully exited the tent.

"Miss Mo, please!" Yan Chuan invited Mo Yuxi to sit at a table and chair on one side.

Mo Yuxi nodded.

There was a pot of tea on the table. Yan Chuan poured two cups.

"Coarse tea. Please excuse me!" Yan Chuan handed over a cup of tea.

"It's already very good." Mo Yuxi gladly took it.

"Miss Mo, I don't know what you want to talk about?" Yan Chuan looked at Mo Yuxi.

Mo Yuxi looked at the outside of the tent and frowned slightly. "Looking at the three thousand soldiers outside, you find meat for them, teach them hand seals, and teach them military formations. Are you going to lead them onto the path of cultivation together?"

"Why not?" Yan Chuan smiled.

"Many cultivators can't even gather enough resources for their own cultivation. But you want to bring three thousand burdens? This will require an unimaginable consumption of resources. Do you have so many? As far as I know, you should have nothing?"

"Moreover, even if you spend a large amount of resources and let them reach the refined realm, so what? Their strength is still at the bottom. For high-level cultivators, it's nothing at all. Just like your three thousand soldiers can't compare to just one Blue Dragon of mine. Instead of spreading resources to create a bunch of burdens, why not gather resources and create a few powerful followers?" Mo Yuxi was curious.

Yan Chuan looked at Mo Yuxi andsmile slightly.

Three thousand soldiers? Are there many? In Yan Chuan's eyes, it's not many at all. Yan Chuan's grand ambition is not something Mo Yuxi can see now.

Three thousand low-level cultivators? Yan Chuan has his own uses!

Resources? With a large army in hand, why worry about not having enough resources?

"This is my family matter. Miss Mo, don't worry too much about it!" Yan Chuan said faintly.

"Uh?" Mo Yuxi was dumbfounded. She gave good advice with good intentions but got such a reply!

Taking a sip of tea, Mo Yuxi's expression gradually became serious. After thinking for a while.

And Yan Chuan waited quietly.

"Mr. Yan, is there really no way for you to break open this cage?" Mo Yuxi's eyes showed a hint of longing.

Yan Chuan shook his head: "I haven't hidden anything from you about this matter!"

With a wry smile, Mo Yuxi slowly said, "I know. It was wrong for us to ask you to be a guide before. It's really because I wanted to obtain the things in the formation too much. I'm really sorry for what happened before. Please forgive me!"

From Mo Yuxi's words, Yan Chuan could hear sincerity. Mo Yuxi's mentality seemed to be undergoing a subtle change in this adversity. At this moment, she was no longer as high and mighty as before.

The change in attitude and the lowering of stance immediately made Yan Chuan feel much more comfortable.

"Um!" Yan Chuan smiled satisfactorily.

"Now that we've talked about it, I don't want to hide anything from you anymore. In this feng shui formation, a Wonderful Demon Lotus is sealed! Our purpose for this trip is that Wonderful Demon Lotus!" Mo Yuxi explained.

"Wonderful Demon Lotus?" Yan Chuan's eyelids twitched.

"What? Have you heard of it?" Mo Yuxi was surprised.

"I've heard of the 'Thousand Wonderful Demon Lotus', an extremely turbid, gloomy, and evil thing that can pollute immortals! In this formation, a Wonderful Demon Lotus is sealed. No wonder. No wonder it requires so much earth's dragon vein to seal it!" Yan Chuan thought deeply.

"Thousand Wonderful Demon Lotus? Yuxi has never heard of it. I only learned about the Wonderful Demon Lotus not long ago!" Mo Yuxi looked at Yan Chuan strangely.

You should know that Mo Yuxi has a noble status. In her sect, she can read the classics of strange things in the world. But she has never seen anything like the Wonderful Demon Lotus or the Thousand Wonderful Demon Lotus. It was only not long ago that she learned a little from a person with extremely high status. But Yan Chuan is only seventeen or eighteen years old, right? He actually knows about the Thousand Wonderful Demon Lotus?

"I also learned about it by chance!" Yan Chuansmile slightly and didn't explain more.

Mo Yuxi also didn't ask further sensibly.

"I don't know what the Wonderful Demon Lotus is used for, and I don't want to know. I just want to obtain it. This is very important to me! Please help me, Mr. Yan!" Mo Yuxi's eyes showed pleading.

Yan Chuan frowned slightly.

"Mr. Yan is knowledgeable. Presumably, from the conversations between Mr. Wen Ruo and others, you should have guessed my identity, right?" Mo Yuxi wryly smiled.

"They call you the saintess!" Yan Chuan nodded.

"I am the saintess of the 'Great Zhao Holy Land'. And my title of saintess was obtained for me by my father when he was alive. He was once a Daoist monarch of the Great Zhao Holy Land. Unfortunately, he was killed by villains!"

Mo Yuxi bit her lip and recalled. There was a slight moistness in her eyes. Obviously, the death of her father had a particularly great impact on Mo Yuxi.

"That year, I was sixteen years old. Suddenly hearing that my father had fallen, I thought the sky had fallen. Before, I was the naughtiest saintess of the Great Zhao Holy Land. When my father was around, I could laugh loudly and cry loudly. I could be unreasonable and tease everyone!"

"When my father fell and I was sad, I could only hide in a corner of the room and cry secretly. I didn't dare to cry in front of people. I didn't dare to laugh loudly. Because I knew that there were many people waiting for me to make a fool of myself. Before, I was suppressed by my father. After my father fell, they would definitely take revenge on me. I could only be constantly careful and use the identity of'saintess' to constantly protect myself. Not to let myself be hurt and not to disgrace my father!"

Listening to Mo Yuxi's narration, Yan Chuan was also slightly moved. Holy land? That is a huge sect. The internal relationships must be extremely complex. One can imagine how a sixteen-year-old girl slowly became strong and held on after losing her father.

Using a silk handkerchief to wipe away her tears, Mo Yuxi forced a smile and said, "Every time I mention my father, it's as if he is still alive. I said I wouldn't mention my father. I'm sorry. I lost my composure!"

"It's nothing. Miss Mo is still a person of true feelings after all!" Yan Chuan comforted.

Shaking her head gently, Mo Yuxi gave a wry smile and said, "A person of true feelings? Hehe, I also hope so. I would rather not have the identity of saintess. Then I can laugh freely and cry wantonly. But I can't. I can't take off the identity of saintess anymore."

"The identity of saintess is the best protection. Once you are not the saintess, the enemies of your father in the past will surely surround and kill you." Yan Chuan nodded.

"When I was twenty years old, Daoist Monarch Mao Ri, that is, Yang Zhiqiu's father. He killed a group of villains who had killed my father! He defended the dignity of the Great Zhao Holy Land. At the same time, he also avenged my father. This favor is what I owe him!" Mo Yuxi frowned.

"You want to obtain the Wonderful Demon Lotus just to repay this favor?" Yan Chuan was puzzled.

"Yes. The Great Zhao Holy Land is internally complex. Daoist Monarch Mao Ri, he..." Mo Yuxi's eyes showed a hint of fear.

"Daoist Monarch Mao Ri can't come here. He really wants this Wonderful Demon Lotus. I must use this to repay this favor. If I don't repay it this time, it may increase a hundredfold or a thousandfold in the future. It may even ruin my life. I don't want to delay anymore. Mr. Yan, please help me!" Mo Yuxi looked at Yan Chuan extremely earnestly.

Looking at Mo Yuxi's pitiful expression, Yan Chuan's eyes also gradually softened.

"Prince!"

Liu Jin's voice came from outside the tent, immediately interrupting the thoughts of the two.

"Come in!" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.

Liu Jin quickly entered and looked at Mo Yuxi slightly strangely.

"What's the matter?" Yan Chuan was puzzled.

"Prince, Blue Dragon and White Tiger are fighting!" Liu Jin looked puzzled.

"What? Impossible!" Mo Yuxi immediately stood up.
