Chapter 348: 348
Ye Chen could not help but reveal a stunned expression on his face upon hearing the explanation of the lightning-stricken napkin . He was a cultivator himself with wide knowledge, but it was his first time hearing about the lightning-stricken napkin .
“Menstrual blood is the filthiest thing in heaven and hell!” Hu Meiling paused and proceeded, “It happened to suppress the thunder’s powerful strength, which was how I managed to survive!”
She had fear on her gorgeous face as she spoke to this point .
One night 1,000 years ago, the Heavenly Thunder was rumbling . The power coming from the sky was unpredictable . An injured white fox was shaking on the ground . Subsequently, she raised a sanitary pad on her head to dodge all of the lightning that was striking her . Her hair was burned, and she was a mess .
Ye Chen came to a realization, then he said, “If I’m not mistaken, the infant that survived is the ancestor of the Hu family of the northeast, isn’t it?”
“That’s right . After all, his parents were killed because of me and they saved my life . Therefore, I took care of the baby and caught five goats to feed him goat’s milk . I gave him the family name of Hu . ” Hu Meiling nodded lightly and said, “When he turned six, I brought him out of the mountain and gave him to the Yin family . I gave him a painting containing my spiritual power . It can remove troubles for him . ”
Hearing that, Ye Chen finally understood the relationship between the Hu family and her . She was the reason why the Hu family had been standing tall for 1,000 years . Judging by that, she was a person with gratitude .
“Then, why are you stuck here?”
Ye Chen looked deep at the cuffs and chains on her hands . Since getting here, he noticed that the cuffs and chains on Hu Meiling’s hands were made of unique materials . The chains would shrink whenever she attempted to leave the stone pavilion .
Meanwhile, perhaps the peach blossom grove that stretched 16 kilometers was beautiful for outsiders, but to her, it was a formation . It was a prison that kept her away from the outside world .
“I suppose you come from Shang Santian, don’t you, Immortal Master?” Hu Meiling asked a question instead of answering him .
Ye Chen shook his head . “No!”
It was not his first time hearing about Shang Santian . Bai Zhanyuan had mentioned that he came from Shang Santian before he died . Yang Junlin, who ranked No . 2 on the Heaven Leaderboard, spoke about Shang Santian too .
Hu Meiling glanced at him with utter surprise and said after noticing that Ye Chen did not seem like he was lying, “800 years ago, someone set up a formation and kept me here . The person came from Shang Santian . ”
She took a step forward . When she was about to get out of the stone pavilion, the peach blossom grove shook, which activated the chains on her hands to shrink at a high speed . She was dragged back to the stone pavilion .
She said, opening her red lips softly, “This formation is called the Life-forbidding Prison!”
“The Life-forbidding Prison?” Ye Chen was surprised .
Hu Meiling nodded and said, “The Life-forbidding Prison put an end to my past life and the chance of reincarnation . I’ve been stuck for 800 years . Apart from playing the guqin while being surrounded by peach blossoms, I kill time by comprehending some minor spells . The white box that Immortal Master Ye saw earlier was my little trick .
“I’ve comprehended that little trick 500 years ago, whereby I made a clone to get out of the Life-forbidding Prison . That was when I met Xiaonie, Xiaoliu, Xiaobai, and the rest . I casually enlightened them back then, which created the seven kings whose names are known to the northeast 500 years later…”
“The seven kings?” Ye Chen frowned .
Hu Meiling nodded and said, “That’s right, seven kings . I enlightened a total of seven of them . Apart from the five kings, the other two were No . 4 and No . 7 . No . 4 is a monkey that someone from Shang Santian captured . No . 7 is an eagle, but it died when it failed to pass the tribulation . ”
She got up and bowed at Ye Chen as she spoke, “Immortal Master Ye, although Xiaonie and the rest are at fault, they don’t deserve to be killed . Since they stepped onto the path of cultivation, they’ve accumulated a lot of good karma . When the northeast fell, many people hid in the secondary forest . It was Xiaonie and the rest who secretly helped them to hide from the Kwantung Army . ”
Back when the Kwantung Army entered the mountain to capture those people, many strange things happened in the secondary forest . Eventually, they even used cannons and planes to bomb the forest, but it only brought minor destruction to the forest .
So, that was the work of the Five Immortals .
“Therefore, I’m begging you to spare their lives . Of course, you can name whatever demands you might have . ” She bent her thin waist completely to bow .
Ye Chen took a good look at her for a few seconds and suddenly smiled as he spoke, “I’m curious . You should know that I want the beast cores of the useless things out there, so why did you let me into this formation? You must know that you’re stuck here . It’s a piece of cake for me to kill you!”
“Of course, I knew that . ” Hu Meiling sighed softly . “I’ve lost my freedom since being stuck here for 800 years . It makes no difference to me whether I’m dead or alive . If you want to kill me, Immortal Master Ye, I definitely won’t resist it!”
“Don’t you want to get out?” Ye Chen said .
“Get out?” Hu Meiling was slightly stunned, then she said, “It’s an era that I am no longer familiar with out there . Even if I manage to get out, I won’t know where to go since the world is so big out there . Moreover, I’m trapped in this prison . It’s impossible for me to escape . ”
Ye Chen scanned a range of almost two kilometers with his Divine Consciousness . He said after a moment of thought, “It’s easy to get out of here . This so-called Life-forbidding Prison is set up above the peach blossoms . The formation will be destroyed as soon as the peach blossoms are destroyed entirely . ”
Hu Meiling forced a smile . “Go ahead and try, Mr . Ye!”
Ye Chen performed the Fireball Tactic on the peach blossoms nearby . However, the flowers did not burn when the fireball landed . Nothing happened .
Surprise flashed through his face . One must know that if he were to perform the Fireball Tactic on a river, there would be a hole in the river . However, it did nothing to the peach blossoms before him . That was rather interesting .
When he was going to charge his flying sword, Hu Meiling spoke without any surprise at all, “It’s futile . It was a Formation Master who set up the formation . Whoever started the trouble should end it . Moreover, I don’t want to get out . ”
Ye Chen shook his head lightly upon hearing that she wanted to stay . He said, “Considering that you seem sincere, I can spare their lives . However, you must agree with my three conditions . ”
“Do tell what they are, Immortal Master Ye . ”
Ye Chen said slowly, “The first condition is that the three of them out there can’t help their chuma disciples to commit evil in the outside world . Secondly, I’ll use whatever materials there are in the secondary forest . ”
“Sure!” Hu Meiling nodded and said, “What about the third condition?”
“I haven’t figured it out yet, but I’ll tell you when I’ve thought of it,” Ye Chen said with a calm smile on his face .
Hu Meiling said after a moment of hesitation, “Immortal Master Ye, can you give me the two beast cores that you’ve retrieved?”
“Impossible!”
