Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Chapter 1456 Breaking The Array

Unlike Xia Wei's excitement, the village chief looked very gloomy. Even the usually rough Xi Yue realized that something was wrong with her father.

Her father was usually very serious, but that dull seriousness was not like now. His entire face was dark, as if something big was about to happen. Xi Yue could clearly feel that her father, who had always been calm, was actually a little helpless.

"Father, we're about to leave this place. Aren't you happy??" Xi Yue looked at the village chief curiously. "What does the outside world look like?"

"Xi Yue, I have something to tell you. You must remember it firmly." The village chief looked at Xia Wei, who was not far away, as if he had made up his mind.

"Mm." Xi Yue nodded. "Father, go ahead."

"Leave with Xia Wan later." The village chief handed a black stone to Xi Yue. "This was passed down by our ancestors. Take this and leave with him. No matter what happens later, don't look back, understand?"

Although Xi Yue always insisted on going out to take a look, looking at her father's serious expression, Xiyue's heart was filled with uneasiness. She grabbed her father's hand. "Father, I'm not leaving."

The village chief shook his head. "Listen to me. Leave with him."

Xi Yue wanted to say something to the village chief, but the village chief pushed Xi Yue away and brought the clansmen to the mechanism.

After seven days and seven nights of continuous work, what appeared in front of everyone was a hammer-shaped tool that could reach the clouds.

In a while, they would use this to let Xia Wei resist the huge pressure of the water and successfully reach the bottom of the cliff.

Xia Wei was already waiting by the cliff. Xi Yue walked to his side with the stone. "Is the outside world really exciting?"

"Not necessarily." Xia Wei turned around and looked at the peaceful scenery here. "This is actually a place that many people dream of."

For thousands of years, the paradise had been the ideal place for many people. People yearned for that quiet and harmonious living environment and simple interpersonal relationships.

However, the people inside had always been envious of the excitement outside. This was probably what humans were like. They were never satisfied with the current situation and were always envious of others. Little did they know that they were also envied by others.

"Then why did Father ask me to leave?" Xi Yue was a little unhappy. Could it be that my father found me too naughty and did not want me to continue staying here? "Now that I think about it, there's nothing good outside. It's good to nest here."

Xia Wei's deep gaze landed on Xi Yue and he said in confusion, "I'm sorry."

"What?" The sound of the water beside her was too loud, covering Xia Wei's voice. Xi Yue looked up in confusion. "What did you just say?"

"It's nothing. I'm preparing to leave." Xia Wei turned around, as if he was unwilling to talk to Xiyue anymore.

As an emperor, the people in front of him were also his people, but emperors had selfish motives. If he wanted to save Xia Wanyuan, he had no choice but to sacrifice these people and this pure girl in front of him.

Xia Wei looked at the mountain range in front of him with a solemn expression.

Along the way, there were too many things that he had no choice but to do. He could only force himself to be tough and ignore all his weakness.

Seeing that Xia Wei did not want to talk to her anymore, Xi Yue did not pester him anymore. She pursed her lips. "Alright."

She followed Xia Wei to the other side of the mechanism. The rest of the clan were at the top of the mechanism. Everyone used the speed of the water to slowly approach the cliff.

Although the people here had lived here for nearly a thousand years in the most primitive way and their technology was much behind that of the outside world, they could be considered exquisite in terms of mechanism skills.

It was unknown what technique this huge black mechanism had been forged with, but the mechanism that could enter the clouds was integrated. There were no traces of carving. The few dragons floating around were lifelike.

It was impossible to tell that it was artificially made. In the turbulent water, it was like a flood dragon turning into a dragon when it met water, making one's heart tremble.

If this mechanism was placed in water, it could break through the huge water flow and draw a path out.

The originally fast water flow was broken by the mechanism with a loud roar. For thousands of years, the bottom of the valley had been calm and peaceful. Xi Yue had never seen such a scene. She subconsciously grabbed Xia Wei's arm. Xia Wei looked down at her and reached out to protect her.

Sensing Xia Wei's actions, Xi Yue blushed. She looked at Xia Wei shyly and moved closer to him.

The mechanism quickly broke through the waves in the water and advanced. However, when they reached the edge of the cliff, it was as if this place was blocked by an invisible barrier. The water, fish, and birds could fly over the cliff waterfall. Only they were blocked at the top of the cliff, as if they could be swept down by the rapid water at any time.

Xi Yue was a little afraid. Xia Wei covered her eyes with his hand. "It's nothing. We'll be fine in a while."

"Oh." Xi Yue leaned towards Xia Wei in panic and subconsciously glanced at her father not far away.

Her father was also looking at her, his deep eyes containing emotions that Xi Yue could not understand.

Xi Yue, who had always been heartless, suddenly panicked for some reason. She looked at her father and opened her mouth to say something, but her father shook his head at her, then turned around and activated the mechanism with her clansmen.

The panic in Xi Yue's heart intensified. She turned to look at Xia Wei, wanting to gain some support from him.

However, looking at Xia Wei's deep side profile, the panic in Xi Yue's heart did not lessen much. On the contrary, she sensed a deeper sense of powerlessness.

As the village chief and his clansmen kept activating the mechanism, the wind howled. She felt the mechanism under her feet slowly fall, as if it could pass through that invisible barrier.

Because the impact was too strong, even the air was filled with sharp sounds.

The mechanism kept advancing, sending Xia Wei and Xi Yue to the edge of the cliff step by step. Xi Yue could clearly feel the moist air that was different from the calm mountain village and the wind outside the village.

Xi Yue happily moved Xia Wei's hand away, wanting to see with her own eyes what the other side of the waterfall was like.

Xia Wei did not expect her to suddenly push him away. Caught off guard, he took a step back and revealed the view behind him.

Xi Yue, who had been excited a second ago, widened her eyes when she saw the scene behind Xia Wei.

The originally clear water was actually dyed red, and above the water was a strange array of people she knew. Blood flowed out of their bodies continuously.
