Chapter 114: The Top Master Among Masters, Guaranteed Second Place

  The derivation of "Thirty-Two Forbidden Characters" requires an astonishing amount of mental effort.

  Qiqi carefully deciphered the forbidden runes on the wall, but her mind was filled with an inexplicable sense of unease.

  The image of that lewd little black-robed figure kept appearing in her mind.

  Look at that little guy, with a casual wave of his hand, the seal was broken. What kind of trick did he use?

  Look at how relaxed he is, it's as if this place were his home, is he really that capable?

  Who is Qiqi?

  She is also a person who is proud and arrogant to the extreme, how can she admit defeat?

  At one point she also thought about breaking through quickly, but unexpectedly became impatient and committed a major taboo, causing her speed to slow down instead.

  After great efforts, I finally figured out the structure of the runes.

  But in her haste, she made several mistakes with her hand seals, and by the time she finally managed to lift the seal, more than half a day had passed.

  Finally, the seal has been lifted...

  Qiqi County Master raised an eyebrow and eagerly stepped into the next level.

  She caught sight of the little black-robed boy at a glance, still with that sly and unkempt appearance, sitting on the ground with his butt, holding the crystal wall of the letter, playing very enthusiastically, being completely absorbed in it.

  She was furious and coldly said: "Hey, you little brat..."

  The young man in black robes looked up at her and nodded slightly, "Oh, I understand, you took it, you took it..."

  He turned around and waved his hand again.

  "Clang!" With a sound, the seal was lifted.

  He stepped across, and the wall returned to its original state.

  Qiqi's face turned green, her eyes almost bulging out: "No...not...you little scoundrel..."

  She didn't even have time to speak, and the little black-robed figure had disappeared.

  Qiqi stomped her foot heavily, and in her heart, she was furious.

  This little black robe is deliberately showing off, breaking through the ban so quickly, and with such a strange technique.

  Qiqi County Master only saw the opponent wave his hand, the symbol in his hand flashed, and then the ban was broken, the door opened, and the whole action was smooth.

  It's not like breaking a ban at all, it's as simple as pushing open a door casually.

  Qiqi County Master gritted her teeth fiercely and made a ruthless decision in her heart.

  "I didn't believe it, but Four Seas County really did produce a Daoist genius, and one who's even more formidable than me?"

  Qiqi County slowly walked to the opposite wall, her eyes staring at the runes on the wall, her eyebrows gradually furrowed.

  The Forbidden Palace of Fumo. One level is more difficult than the last, starting with only one or two forbidden symbols designed as small prohibitions.

  Nowadays, there are more and more forbidden symbol combinations, and the difficulty is also getting higher and higher.

  Just this level has consumed more than half of Qiqi's time, now she is looking at the glyph structure on the wall, which is obviously much harder than before.

  How can it be easy when it's hard to break away?

  What if it doesn't break?

  Just thinking about that little black robe, lifting his hand and breaking the seal, Lady Qiqi felt unacceptable.

  Look at this young man, he's not very old, seems even younger than his own age.

  Has anyone ever heard of a young prodigy emerging in the Four Seas County?

  At this moment she felt extremely resentful in her heart, and at the same time, she also developed a strong interest in this gloomy little black-robed boy.

  There must be some unknown secrets in the Fumo Palace, this kid is probably just lucky. Otherwise, he must have a special treasure that can break the seal, or else it wouldn't be so easy for him.

  No way, I must find this guy and interrogate him thoroughly.

  At this thought, Qiqi Guizhu immediately gathered her thoughts and began to study the combination of prohibition symbols on the wall with a focused mind.

  This time she concentrated her mind and stopped daydreaming. Her speed was actually much faster than in the previous level.

  About half an hour later, she pinched her fingers in a spell, and the talismans slowly jumped out of her fingertips and merged into the wall opposite.

  "Crack!"

  As for Zhu Yu, he was in the midst of his research, and when he heard a "crack" sound, he couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed.

  He was clear in his mind that it must be that woman again.

  The Fumo Palace is so big, every room is connected in all directions, why must you come this way?

  He received the letter, stood up, and furrowed his brow into a knot.

  Qiqi County Master stepped inside and immediately spotted him. She raised an eyebrow and said: "You, stand still for me!"

  The vermillion fish stared at her, this woman's cultivation was very high, at least she was a congenital spiritual being.

  If you encounter such an existence outside, you must be careful to deal with it. If you anger the other party, with your current cultivation level, I'm afraid you'll only have a chance to be trampled.

  But this is Fumo Palace.

  What is Fumo Palace?

  Not to mention innate spiritual roots, even if one is a Void Boundary cultivator or a Wanshou-level cultivator, they will still be restricted by the symbol arrays inside the Demon Subduing Palace.

  Want to take advantage of the momentum in Fumo Palace, heh heh, really think that the Xianwang's symbol array is rubbish?

  "Hey, what's wrong with you? What do you want to do? The Demon Palace is so big, the main road leads to heaven, and we're walking on opposite sides. You're always following behind me, does that make sense?" Zhu Yu frowned and said.

  Qiqi's eyes widened in shock, her face revealing an incredulous astonishment.

  She could hardly believe her ears.

  What... what did this kid just say?

  Saying... saying I'm following his butt? And questioning me?

  She felt that in this life, she had never encountered such an absurd thing.

  She is the princess of Siming County, the treasured daughter of the county king. Which place in Siming County can she not go to? The entire Siming County belongs to her.

  How ignorant and arrogant must someone be to say something like this...

  Besides, in the four seas and nine provinces, is there anyone who doesn't know himself?

  Zhu Yu didn't seem to have any awareness that the other party was a princess. He glanced at her stunned expression, his mouth twitching slightly, and plopped back down onto the ground, opening the letter as he spoke:

  "Let me tell you straight out, you go and do what you need to do, anyway I'm staying here and not leaving. You're really something, giving you an inch and you take a foot..."

  "How dare you!" Lady Qiqi finally lost her temper and burst out.

  In the entire Four Seas County, who dares to speak to her in this tone?

  No!

  Many of the princes and dukes didn't even dare speak to him like this, let alone the Void Boundary Realm masters.

  The master of Wuling Pavilion and the Duke of the Four Seas County were all very kind to her, and none of them would speak to her in such a tone.

  This little black robe is probably a country bumpkin who has never seen the world in all four seas, and is really reckless, daring to be rude to me?

  For a long time, she has been in a high position, and when Qiqi, the county master, gets angry, it can be said that her power is intimidating.

  Her eyes were like knives, fixed tightly on the crucian carp.

  "Shut up!"

  As soon as she spoke, she stretched out her hand. Her palm transformed into countless illusions, directly shooting towards the Vermilion Fish.

  This palm came from her hand, and its power was astonishing.

  The surrounding spiritual energy converged and twisted, emitting a whistling explosive sound.

  If this slap landed on Zhuyi's face, even if he defied heaven with his physical body, he would probably be crippled or dead.

  But Zhu Yu didn't move at all, he lowered his head. His eyes stared at the crystal wall of the letter, as if he hadn't seen Princess Qiqi take action.

  "Are you looking for trouble?"

  Qiqi's anger burned even fiercer in her heart. Zhu Yu's reaction made her feel disrespected, and among all the cultivators of the Four Seas County, who dared to look down on her?

  The Wuling Pavilion's steps are not so arrogant!

  Her body's spiritual energy circulated again, increasing its power by several degrees.

  This palm is going to make this kid remember things clearly and let him know who's in charge of this land.

  "Really?"

  Qiqi's face suddenly changed greatly.

  Her palm, this palm that was imbued with extremely strong spiritual power, seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier about one meter away from the Vermilion Fish.

  In the void, incredibly mysterious and unpredictable runes condensed, these mysterious runes were so profound that even with her vast experience, she had never seen them before.

  The runes congealed, a barrier of immense power materialized in the void.

  She even felt a faint numbness in her hands, and it was impossible to move forward by even a single thread. And to retreat, it had become that difficult.

  "What...what's going on?"

  She was greatly shocked and felt that the spiritual power in her body was like a flood of water bursting out wildly.

  Good heavens! If this continues, won't all the spiritual energy in my body be completely exhausted?

  She has seen countless things, fought innumerable battles, and made life-and-death decisions with ease. What situation hasn't she encountered?

  But this was the first time she had encountered such a strange thing, and for a moment, she panicked, her face turned pale.

  "Take your pride and scram! Don't disturb me while I'm cultivating!"

  With an air of nonchalance, the young man in black robes sat on the ground, his eyes not even lifting once.

  Qiqi's county lord's heart moved. Immediately recalling her spiritual power, finally, she felt a sense of relief in her chest, and her arm returned to normal.

  She stared blankly at her palm, then looked at the small black robe on the ground, and was completely stunned.

  What's going on?

  Is this the Sealing Array of Fumo Palace?

  What kind of seal array can this kid unlock?

  Her face turned white in an instant, her eyes fixed on the small black robe on the ground.

  This guy still has that sly and cunning look, wearing a black robe of the worst quality, with blurry eyebrows and eyes, looking like a country bumpkin.

  But from now on, Qiqi would never dare to underestimate this young man again.

  In the Scripture Pavilion of the Duke's Mansion, there are many unusual records. Among them, some powerful sects are recorded, which have a peculiar style. The disciples of these sects often deliberately travel the world with the appearance of low-level cultivators. That kid is not an exception...

  Qiqi's noble temperament was after all that of a heroic figure, her intellect wasn't something ordinary people could compare with.

  Her face changed color, unpredictable, with various doubts in her mind, thinking of countless possibilities, yet not knowing which one was correct.

  The scarlet fish seemed even more mysterious in her eyes.

  Once again confirming Zhu Yu's age, it doesn't seem like those immortal seniors who have mastered the art of staying young, his actual age is really only sixteen or seventeen years old.

  How to distinguish the age of a cultivator is a mysterious technique of the Xian family, and as the princess of the Junwangfu, it is a compulsory technique for her.

  But a 16- or 17-year-old monk, how could he possibly be more powerful than me?

  Looking at his internal spiritual energy being ordinary, it seems that he is not a congenital Spiritual Master, but rather a postnatal cultivator.

  It's really maddening, the weirder it is, the more Lady Qiqi feels that this guy is unfathomably profound...
