Chapter 119 My Identity Was Almost Exposed
Listening intently to the sounds, Guan Xun suddenly spread his divine sense rapidly, and at the same time, a red light flashed in his eyes, causing the surrounding area to freeze for a moment.
Taking advantage of this brief gap, she leaped into the air and scanned the area below, where she was surprised to find that the thick smoke was connected by the ancient trees of the manor, and its range extended right below the wooden roof.
Above the ancient tree, the sun still shines brightly and the air is fresh.
Presumably, these ancient trees are all located within the formation, but the towering ancient trees cover almost the entire manor, which means that the entire Burning Phoenix Manor is a formation.
Just as Guan Xun was feeling a bit frustrated, a strong suction suddenly surged up from below, and the smoke swirled rapidly, forming a huge vortex that dragged her down forcefully.
She immediately channeled her spiritual energy into her palm, and with a sudden swing of her wrist, smashed it down onto the ancient trees below.
Just then, a few restless whooshing sounds came from above. Guan Xun frowned, and a chill suddenly surged around him as a thick, red tail shot up in response!
The giant tail swept upwards, colliding heavily with the powerful energy swung from above her head. The impact created a powerful energy ripple that surged out like a giant wave.
The powerful impact swept through the air in an instant, and the unstoppable force of the impact slammed into Guan Xun, causing her body to sway forward involuntarily. This slight movement created a perfect opportunity for the vortex below to desperately pull her along.
The smoke billowed up rapidly, sucking Guan Xun completely in.
She gasped, her eyelids twitching violently, and finally couldn't help but curse under her breath.
"No matter which bastard dares to launch a sneak attack, they'll be sorry!"
……
The moment his body was drawn into the vortex of white smoke, everything went dark. The powerful suction made Guan Xun's hair disheveled.
However, the darkness only lasted for two breaths. When the light shone into her eyes again, she felt her body freeze for a moment, and then she was instantly overwhelmed by an intense feeling of weightlessness.
In the blink of an eye, he crashed onto something soft.
Guan Xun couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
"Master, I...I..." Chi Rong knew how big a mistake he had just made, his voice was as weak as a mosquito's buzz, and he was very guilty.
"Tsk." Guan Xun was too lazy to argue with it, because what came into view at this moment, besides the blue sky and white clouds, were also tall and dense bamboo all around.
It was clearly not the place with the ancient trees just now, but an unfamiliar bamboo forest.
She gritted her teeth, slapped her hand hard to the side, and tried to get up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the palm landed, a crisp sound of slapping against flesh rang out, followed by a painful howl.
Guan Xun: ...
She immediately got up and stepped aside, staring in astonishment at the thing she had just smashed, only to discover that it was a person.
The other person was lying face down on the ground, wearing a red robe and with disheveled hair.
Huh……?
Guan Xun looks somewhat familiar?
She raised her eyes and scanned the area ahead, discovering that there were quite a few people here. Among the unfamiliar faces, she could also spot a few familiar figures, including Lin Miao and Taishi Muxue.
They all stared at her in astonishment.
Feeling something nudging the hem of her skirt, Guan Xun looked down and saw a small creature covered in yellow fur pawing at her, its obviously trimmed little paws scratching and making whimpering noises.
She vaguely remembered this ugly animal; wasn't it the spirit pet of that person from the Heavenly Palace who had been talking about beauties not long ago?
So the thing I just hit was... that guy?
The little fox was still furious and rammed her head against Guan Xun's leg several times. When she looked up and glared at Guan Xun with bared teeth, she was startled by the little snake on her shoulder.
Its cries abruptly stopped, and it shrank back as if it had seen a ghost. Even the fury-covered yellow fur clung tightly to its body, whimpering as it pounced back onto its owner.
"Who dares to smash me like that..." Duan Huaiyan rubbed his forehead and stood up, constantly straightening his robes, his handsome face showing a hint of anger.
He turned and sized up Guan Xun, a fleeting look of surprise crossing his face before his brows furrowed tightly: "It's you, how come..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a clear female voice.
"Guan Xun?! How did you fall from the sky?" Lin Miao snapped out of her daze and quickly walked through the crowd.
Guan Xun didn't say anything immediately. Instead, his dark eyes were deep as he thoroughly examined everyone present. After confirming that the other party was not a human transformed from a formation, he casually shrugged and said, "Unexpectedly, this is still within a formation?"
Lin Miao was slightly taken aback. Since the other party knew it was a formation, there was no need to say more. Her expression slowly turned serious: "Yes, we are all looking for a way to break the formation, but we have made no progress."
Duan Huaiyan bent down and picked up the little fox, feeling a burning pain on his back. His face tightened involuntarily. Being hit was bad enough, but to be hit so hard was unacceptable.
The solid feel of the palm striking down was no less than that of a sworn enemy, but he was always courteous and never bothered with such trivial matters with women.
However, everyone else emerged from the bamboo forest, so it was quite puzzling that this woman had fallen from the sky.
He cleared his throat before saying, "Only after breaking the formation can we enter the inner manor. Its opening time is uncertain, so we are in a hurry. Since you have also entered this place, let's find a way to break the formation together."
Guan Xun didn't say anything, just nodded casually. Anyway, the goal was to break the formation, and she didn't understand formations, so it was naturally a good thing for someone to help.
When the conversation turned to business, everyone snapped out of their reverie.
The Burning Phoenix Manor has always been known for its strangeness, and they quickly adapted to the idea of someone falling from the sky. They had all joined halfway through their journey, and they didn't find anything wrong with Duan Huaiyan's words. Besides, he was a member of the Heavenly Pole Palace, so he must have more experience than them. Therefore, they all nodded.
The atmosphere was harmonious, but Taishi Muxue, who was standing a little behind, looked a bit off.
Her delicate brows furrowed, her small face turned icy cold, and her eyes narrowed as she stared intently at Guan Xun's plain-looking face.
Suddenly, she took a step forward, raised her chin slightly, and shouted in a loud, cold voice: "So, it really is you!"
Such a strange tone left those around her bewildered, and all eyes turned to Taishi Muxue.
She snorted softly, raised her fair hand adorned with nail polish, and pointed it directly at Guan Xun with a sharp aura, coldly saying, "Am I right? The one who killed my siblings and elders and disgraced the name of my Holy Light Hall is you."
Upon hearing this, everyone around was immediately shocked.
