Chapter 255 - Blade Mountain Flame Sea
In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the Huo Family door. Just as the guard stuck out his head and was about to reply, he caught sight of that familiar face and hurriedly opened the door, “Your Highness, you have my presence.
“No need to alarm the Lord Marshal, this prince is here to look for your Seventh Young Master.”
“This …” The concierge was in a bit of a dilemma. The superior had already said that if Third Prince came by today, he must notify the lord immediately.
Teng Yu pushed him away, and got someone to give him a heavy bag, “Since it's already so late, I believe the Marshal doesn't want to see Your Highness anymore.”
Teng Yu stepped into the room, only then did he remember that he did not know where Yin Xu lived, so he turned around and brought the guard with him, allowing him to lead the way.
Although the commotion was small, it still alarmed quite a few people. The butler hurried over and saw that the Third Prince was in a hurry and had to run to the Huo Family gatekeeper to keep up with his footsteps.
He stepped forward to stop her, “Why is His Highness so late?” All of you, go to sleep. “
“I don't think so.” It would be weird if someone could sleep without him for the entire day.
He didn't know how to explain his absence when he saw him later. After all, it was already past the agreed time.
When the gatekeeper saw that the butler had come, he immediately took a step back. His Highness' face was obviously normal, but he felt a cold air lingering around him.
The butler thought about it and still managed to bring the person to Yin Xu's residence. The courtyard was slightly off to the side, so Teng Yu was more at ease as he walked over.
When he stood in front of the courtyard, Teng Yu frowned and asked unhappily: “Does your Seventh Young Master live here?”
This courtyard was located in such a remote place, yet it was actually so old. Was this how Huo Family treated his darling?
The steward wiped his cold sweat and explained, “There are a lot of young masters and young ladies in the house …” Although the Huo Family was large, there were still many descendants.
This Seventh Young Master was after all, a little special, and at the beginning, everyone's attitude towards him was indeed a little slow, but Seventh Young Master did not bother about this.
Teng Yu snorted coldly, and used one hand to push open the door to the courtyard.
However, to his surprise, the door did not budge at all. He increased his strength, but still could not open it.
He put his hands down and sighed helplessly. With his strength, not to mention pushing the door, it was enough to push down a wall. It was obvious that someone did not want him to go in.
He simply knocked on the door and meekly called out, “Baby, open the door, I'm going to apologize.”
The yard was completely silent. The butler quietly pressed his ear against the door and did not even hear the sound of breathing. It was as if there was no one inside.
As a steward of the Marshal's Mansion, his martial arts skills were not weak as well. Back then, he had rendered many meritorious deeds while accompanying the previous generation of marshal in the war.
Teng Yu shouted for a few times, but he did not see any reaction. He raised his head to look at the not too tall wall, took a step back and directly jumped in.
“Ah …” Before the butler could stop him, he heard a low exclamation coming from inside.
He was afraid that the Seventh Young Master would be angered and hurt the Third Prince, so he immediately sent people to inform the old master and jumped into the wall.
As soon as he landed on the ground, the butler felt that something was wrong. The ground beneath his feet was burning, and the scene in front of him caused him to be unable to recover for a long time.
The courtyard he had known before was completely different. The huge courtyard was divided into two halves, one half of the mountain of swords, the other half of the sea of flames. Under his feet, however, he was stepping on the edge of the sea of flames.
He turned his head to look and saw that Third Prince was wandering around the mountain of blades.
The moment Teng Yu entered, he knew that he had sneaked into Yin Xu's array. He did not have a deep understanding of array formations, so he thought that it was an illusion array.
Who knew that these knives were the same as the real thing? The pain from his foot almost penetrating through the soles of his shoes was real.
He could not help but be cautious as he pondered whether Blade Mountain was easier or the sea of fire was easier.
Just when Teng Yu was thinking about it bitterly, he didn't know that Yin Xu was sitting not twenty meters away from him. Yin Xu was sitting there with his legs crossed, with the Right Protectorate standing behind him, and a young disciple waiting on one side.
Zuo Shaotang clicked his tongue, “The array is truly miraculous, every time I see it, I have a whole new level of respect for it.”
Previously, when the High Priestess asked him what kind of dangerous situation would be the best to test the hearts of men, he casually replied with “Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild”. However, he didn't know that if the High Priestess had set up a formation, the originally empty courtyard would have turned out like this.
Furthermore, they could clearly see Third Prince across them, yet the other side could neither see nor hear them.
What a miracle.
Wang Ren's face had a look of worry, “Master, would Your Highness be injured like this?”
“Of course, this isn't an illusory magic array.” Yin Xu replied indifferently, “Did you see it clearly when I was setting up the array just now?”
Wang Ren nodded his head before shaking it, “I saw it clearly, but I don't really understand it.
“It's good that you have it in mind. Array formations are also related to cultivation realms. You should slowly comprehend it in the future.”
Wang Ren wanted to say a few more words of praise for the Third Prince, but looking at his master's expression, he knew that it was not possible. He glared at Zuo Shaotang and thought: “It's all because this person is too sinister.”
All the hairs on Zuo Shaotang's body stood on end. He turned his head to look at Wang Ren's bright and angry eyes, and laughed dryly. “Why is Lord Young Master looking at this subordinate like that?”
“Humph!” Wang Ren turned his face away, leaving the back of his head behind.
Zuo Shaotang secretly made a bet with Xiao Feng, “Do you think the Third Prince will come over?”
“Yes.” Xiao Feng answered with a simple and clear word.
“I guess it won't be too hard for him, but he'll probably be injured.” Zuo Shaotang couldn't help but jump in joy. He and Xiao Feng had been suppressed by this dog-boy duo for a long time, and it was rare to see them in conflict.
If he had known earlier that this formation was used to deal with Teng Yu, he would not have said that it was so simple.
He rolled his eyes and lowered his head to say to Yin Xu: “Actually, not only does Sect Leader want to test his guts, he also wants to test his sincerity, to see if there is any formation that can confuse a person's mind. We will use beauty and power to probe him, see if he is willing to take action.”
Yin Xu scratched his chin and thought. This idea seemed to be not bad, just like how cultivators experience the inner demons, the inner demons were able to dig out the thing they longed for the most, becoming infinitely large. Countless cultivators had lost their minds, unable to come out.
Seeing that there is hope, Zuo Shaotang tried to persuade his even more, “There is no need for a formation that is too powerful, we are mainly testing the Third Prince, if he misses the agreement, you will definitely be unhappy, beating him up will not solve the problem, why not do a practical test.”
“People's lives are nothing more than for the seven emotions and six desires, and among them, power, profit, and beauty are the most enticing. As long as we pass through these three trials, the head of the school will not need to look into this matter anymore.”
Yin Xu lifted his head and looked at him. It was not difficult for him to conceal the excitement in his eyes.
“Huh?” Zuo Shaotang blinked his eyes, regaining his composure, “No, it's just that this subordinate suddenly thought of something, if Sect Leader could use this formation on our main altar, no one would dare to come challenge our mountain.”
Xiao Feng shot a glance at him, pulling him to his side, suppressing him, preventing him from moving.
“What are you doing?” His relationship with Xiao Feng had developed rather smoothly, but the other party had never revealed it in front of outsiders, and it was rare that he would take the initiative to hug his.
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes at him, “Don't mess with me, be careful that the one who is going to suffer the worst in the end is yourself.”
“This is to relieve the Sect Leader of his worries.”
“Which one of your eyes saw his worry?”
The two of them glared at each other. Then, they were attracted by each other's voices.
While they were talking, Third Prince had already moved from the mountain of blades to sea of fire, and was walking forward step by step. However, the butler of Huo Mansion shouted worriedly from behind, “Be careful, Your Highness.”
The guards that came with Teng Yu also came in. Zuo Shaotang glanced at Han Qing and saw that he had dismissed the other guards. He didn't hesitate to follow Teng Yu into the sea of fire.
“They really do dare to choose.” Zuo Shaotang hesitated between being stabbed to death and being burned to death, thinking that it would be easier to die under the blade.
“Just look, they aren't afraid of fire at all.” Xiao Feng's eyes slightly fluctuated.
“What?” Zuo Shaotang restrained his sloppy expression and looked at the two people in the sea of fire seriously. He realised that Han Qing was occasionally retreating a few steps, but the Third Prince was walking rather easily.
“Why aren't they afraid of fire?” Zuo Shaotang didn't know that Teng Yu had the Flame Yang Spell, but he gradually realized that Teng Yu and Han Qing's surroundings were wrapped in a layer of faint blue light, as if they were covered in a layer of blue flames.
