Chapter 124: Chapter 106: Superb Acting Skills

A swarm of mayflies covered the sky, coming with formidable force.

Jiang Yuebai charged left and right in the fog, doing her utmost to dodge the swarm of mayflies.

This array is a Water Array, characteristic of water’s ability to assimilate everything. Any attack would be swallowed, becoming the mayfly swarm’s strength, ultimately counterattacking the attacker.

Yet without resistance, one’s spiritual energy would be gradually depleted. These mayflies weren’t actual insects; the chill of water they carried would infiltrate the body, hindering the flow of spiritual energy.

A large group of mayflies wrapped tightly around Jiang Yuebai’s arm, suddenly hoisting her up and slamming her down to the ground against a tree.

The Absolute Wind Saber slashed in reverse, unexpectedly sparking a string of sparks.

Jiang Yuebai was secretly alard. The mayflies had turned into vines, hard as tal. This array was water-based, yet secretly harbored the properties of wood and tal, a triple-linked Great Array.

The one who laid the array had an understanding of Array Dao far surpassing her own. Currently, she could only set up a double-linked array.

Whether linked arrays or child and mother arrays, each additional layer increased the difficulty tenfold.

Jiang Yuebai instantly realized that the person behind this array was definitely He Wangchen!

Among the Qi Cultivation disciples participating in this small competition’s Cultivation Array Dao, only he was the direct disciple of True Monarch Fuyi, capable of breaking the eighteen lines of the Heavenly Gang Peak Linked Array, indicating his understanding of Array Dao had reached the Foundation Establishnt level.

Jiang Yuebai originally thought Zhuo Qingfeng was trouble enough, and never expected to encounter the even more troubleso He Wangchen.

If it were the usual arena, soone like He Wangchen, frail bodied at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, wouldn’t be able to fully utilize arraying abilities, and wouldn’t be a threat.

Yet this ti the small competition was in a Pocket Small World, rich in spiritual energy and varied in terrain, allowing him to maximize his arraying abilities.

The terror of an Array Master lies here — once a Great Array is set, they can just hide in the shadows and massacre heroes from all sides.

The swarm of mayflies continued their fierce assault; Jiang Yuebai had no ti to think, only to keep dodging.

The dense fog made it impossible to determine direction. Jiang Yuebai retreated in one direction, but shortly returned to her original position, the nearby tree bearing the scar from her slash.

This isn’t going to work!

Jiang Yuebai pressed her right hand on her belt, ready to release the more than one hundred Cloud Lark Puppets inside to first cause an explosion.

"Senior Sister Jiang, over here!"

A voice from Shen Huaxi suddenly appeared from the side. Jiang Yuebai turned her head in surprise, seeing him hiding within a dead tree draped with vines, half his body sticking out.

Monts ago, she passed by without noticing anyone inside, a chill instantly climbing from her feet to her head.

"Senior Sister Jiang, hurry, I have a way to avoid these mayflies."

Shen Huaxi urged anxiously. Jiang Yuebai glanced at the increasingly violent swarm of mayflies before decisively heading toward Shen Huaxi.

Jiang Yuebai stepped into the tree hole, and as Shen Huaxi lowered the vines and retreated, he quickly ford hand seals and pushed them forward.

Erald green light seeped from Shen Huaxi’s palm, causing the vines to extend and sprout new buds, covering and sealing the entrance in an instant, barring any aura from escaping.

Jiang Yuebai stood in the dark, watching unwaveringly. At this mont, whether by divine sense probing or using Heavenly Eye Technique scanning, Shen Huaxi rged perfectly into the surroundings, appearing as nothing more than a tree and vine.

The chill on Jiang Yuebai’s back deepened. She suspected that the period before the small competition was when Shen Huaxi stalked her multiple tis.

If it were true, then Shen Huaxi must suspect she was linked to Lin Suwan’s death, yet he seed rely suspicious. If certain, he’d have seized an opportunity instead of repeatedly tailing her.

Therefore, she must behave according to norms toward Shen Huaxi. As Xie Jingshan’s friend, she shouldn’t be overly wary, and must interact naturally with him.

But Shen Huaxi’s relationship with Lin Suwan was unusual, which ant she couldn’t show too much friendliness toward him.

Jiang Yuebai clenched and relaxed her fists, forcing herself to stay calm and composed, speaking in a steady voice, "Many thanks to Junior Brother Shen for your rescue. I’ll certainly repay you if given the chance."

Jiang Yuebai slid to the ground, as Shen Huaxi sealed the opening and approached.

"You’re too kind, Senior Sister Jiang. I also wanted to partner with you. As a dical Cultivator, my best skills lie in concealnt and self-preservation. Escaping this array alone would be impossible for ."

In the darkness, Jiang Yuebai’s eyes sparkled as she scrutinized Shen Huaxi’s expression. She detected no flaws or abnormality.

Jiang Yuebai responded with a distant courtesy, "This is the Mayfly Dragon Binding Array — exceedingly tricky and hard to break. I have no solution at the mont either."

Shen Huaxi crouched down, inspecting Jiang Yuebai carefully, "Are you injured, Senior Sister?"

Jiang Yuebai nodded, voice cold, "Yes, I had an encounter with Zhuo Qingfeng before."

Shen Huaxi frowned in thought, "Zhuo Qingfeng’s sword qi is wind-based, resisting the Five Elents and quite troubleso. If you don’t mind, Senior Sister, I could help remove the sword qi."

Jiang Yuebai’s scalp tingled, yearning to violently dispatch Shen Huaxi, yet her expression had to convey surprise and resistance.

"Truly?"

Weighing rits and disadvantages swiftly, in the Mirror World, Shen Huaxi couldn’t take her life. According to his reputation outside, he wasn’t one to sabotage others with excuses just to win.

Allowing him to help with healing and collaboratively find a way to break the array and escape was the optimal choice.

After contemplating, Jiang Yuebai extended her hand.

"I apologize for the intrusion."

Shen Huaxi grasped Jiang Yuebai’s wrist, and a gentle, warm stream of spiritual energy slowly flowed into her ridians.

Though Jiang Yuebai seed relaxed, her mind was taut to the extre. She firmly sealed her Sea of Consciousness and Dantian, ready to strike if Shen Huaxi dared to cross the boundary.

Shen Huaxi glanced up at Jiang Yuebai and smiled, "Senior Sister Jiang, don’t be nervous, just relax."

"I’m not nervous, it’s just... I’m not quite used to it."

Jiang Yuebai’s hand hung at her side, ready at any mont to draw the Absolute Wind Saber.

Shen Huaxi lowered his gaze, making his expression hard to decipher, "It’s always like this the first ti you experience healing from a dical Cultivator. But rest assured, Senior Sister Jiang, a dical Cultivator practices Wood Spirit Generates Qi, different from ordinary spiritual energy. Even if I infused my entire spiritual energy into your body, it would only nurture your ridians and flesh without causing harm."

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her ridians, and Jiang Yuebai instinctively tried to retract her hand, but Shen Huaxi gripped it tightly.

"Don’t move."

Their eyes t, and the atmosphere tensed.

Shen Huaxi stared intently into Jiang Yuebai’s eyes as her Absolute Wind Saber was eager to be drawn.

"I’ve found the residual Sword Qi, bear with it, Senior Sister Jiang."

As soon as he spoke, Shen Huaxi joined his fingers together, channeling a sharp aura that abruptly pierced Jiang Yuebai’s palm, along with fresh blood, all enveloped by a verdant spiritual energy, gathered above Shen Huaxi’s hand.

The azure Sword Qi hissed and wailed, as Shen Huaxi flicked his hand, slicing several dried vines which slamd against the tree hollow walls, leaving marks.

Jiang Yuebai glanced at the marks, lowered her gaze, and felt her body indeed beco lighter, with the spiritual energy flowing smoothly.

"It’s truly healed, thank you, Junior Brother Shen."

Shen Huaxi looked at Jiang Yuebai for a mont and chuckled, "No need for thanks, Senior Sister."

"Allow

a mont to adjust my breath, then I’ll think of a way to break the array."

Jiang Yuebai sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began adjusting her breath.

Shen Huaxi stood up to check the situation outside from the cave entrance.

Jiang Yuebai’s body remained still as the storm in her Sea of Consciousness raged with lightning.

Flas blazed across the wheat spike of her Divine Sense, startling Little Green who darted about, nearly struck by a bolt, trembling in the corner, not knowing what to do.

Two words appeared on the lantern.

[Afraid]

After thoroughly ensuring nothing had been tampered with in her ridians, Jiang Yuebai swallowed a Yuan Nourishing Elixir, held a Spirit Stone, and in the pretense of not alarming the Great Array, she restored herself to her peak state, gradually calming her anxious heart.

Upon opening her eyes, her gaze t Shen Huaxi’s, who leaned at the cave entrance, steadily watching her.

Jiang Yuebai spoke calmly, "What are you looking at, Junior Brother Shen?"

Shen Huaxi smiled generously, "Senior Sister Jiang is so lovely, it’s hard to resist glancing a few tis."

Jiang Yuebai: !!!

Isn’t this her line? What is he planning?

Moreover, being of the sa age, she always felt Shen Huaxi was different from those straightforward youths like Xie Jingshan and Song Zhi’ang, excessively mature.

"Junior Brother Shen is on good terms with Lin Suwan, speaking to

like this seems sowhat inappropriate."

Jiang Yuebai’s face turned cold, while Shen Huaxi’s eyes held a trace of inquiry, sighing softly, "Senior Sister Jiang misunderstands, in fact, Suwan and I are..."

Before finishing, Shen Huaxi suddenly turned his head to separate the tree vines and looked out.

"Soone’s coming."

Simultaneously, a faint tremor ca from the jade in Jiang Yuebai’s bosom, seemingly blocked by the Great Array, faintly discernible.

"Jiang Yuebai—Lu Nanzhi—"

Soone called, suppressing their voice, and Jiang Yuebai rushed to the tree hole entrance.

In the hazy white mist, Xie Jingshan wielded a crimson longsword, slashing flas to disperse Mayflies, while Yun Shang controlled the gourd to circle in the air, releasing a swarm of spiritual insects from the gourd, colliding and entangling with the Mayfly pack.

Jiang Yuebai’s gaze fell on Xie Jingshan’s sword, eyes lighting up.

"Let them in, I have a way to break the array!"
