Chapter 1634 1634: The Woman in Yellow
The yellow-clad lady said angrily, "In that case, don't blame me for being rude."
The yellow-clad lady attacked twice in quick succession, encircling Ling Zhenfei with a ring of flowers.
From the outside, it looked beautiful, but only Ling Zhenfei knew how uncomfortable it was inside.
He hesitated inwardly, wondering if there really was no way to break this Flower Array.
As more and more flowers appeared, Ling Zhenfei felt a growing pressure; beneath the beautiful flowers lay hidden dangers. He couldn't imagine what it would feel like to be hit by flowers.
However, no matter how powerful this magic artifact was, it was bound to have flaws. If it didn't, wouldn't that mean the yellow-clad lady could single-handedly defeat anyone?
Ling Zhenfei knew there had to be a weakness, he just hadn't found it yet.
The flowers were simply too many. Ling Zhenfei was struggling to cope.
But at that moment, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt a change in the Flower Array, as if the patterns from earlier had suddenly shifted.
The flowers scattered in all directions, and Ling Zhenfei couldn't dodge in time as many of them rushed towards him.
Unable to evade, Ling Zhenfei was hit hard by the flowers.
What he thought were merely flowers turned out to have petals as sharp as small knives, leaving tiny cuts on his skin.
Where there were clothes, they were torn. The exposed areas of his arms and face were cut, and blood flowed incessantly.
Before Ling Zhenfei had time to panic, the flowers rushed over again.
Ling Zhenfei knew things were bad; he would surely be doomed if this continued. He had to think of a strategy.
The one controlling the petals was a magic artifact on the yellow-clad lady. The simplest way to break the Flower Array was to seize that artifact, but the chances of that were slim.
However, a thought flashed through Ling Zhenfei's mind, reminding him of another magic artifact he had. Maybe it could counter the yellow-clad lady's artifact.
The magic artifact Ling Zhenfei thought of was a flaming gourd.
He acquired it from a protector of the Blood Oath Sect and had only used it once in Tangcheng.
The gourd could unleash fierce flames, potentially burning all the petals in the air.
Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei didn't hesitate. With a thought, he summoned the gourd from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow into his hand.
Without further deliberation, he held the gourd with one hand and opened the lid with the other.
As soon as the lid was opened, it was like unleashing a wild beast.
A tremendous burst of flames erupted from within.
As the flowers flew towards Ling Zhenfei, the flames erupted at that precise moment.
The flames from the gourd weren't ordinary; while high-level cultivators might consider it weak, being hit by those flames was definitely not pleasant.
The petals were engulfed by the flames, causing a fiery blaze in the sky. Under the impact of the flames, the flower petals couldn't approach and quickly burned into ashes.
The eruption of flames stunned Lu Huanong and the others, halting their actions.
The yellow-clad lady was also shocked, not expecting Ling Zhenfei to have such an artifact.
"You're cheating by burning my flowers!"
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "It's a fight. How am I cheating? And aren't your flowers created by a magic artifact? If you can use artifacts, why can't I?"
The yellow-clad lady was about to get angry when a middle-aged man next to her said, "Junior Sister, stop arguing. It seems we can't take this today; we should retreat."
The yellow-clad lady was clearly displeased. "No way, leaving like this is too embarrassing."
The man replied, "Our strengths are evenly matched, staying won't help. We should go."
The yellow-clad lady said to Ling Zhenfei, "Consider yourselves lucky, but we have urgent matters to attend to now. Otherwise, I'd teach you a lesson."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Such a beautiful girl being a bandit is a waste. Why not stay and be my wife?"
The yellow-clad lady frowned angrily, "You shameless scoundrel, you're courting death. Watch how I deal with you."
Just as the girl was about to lose her temper, an object, appearing to be a wooden plank, suddenly flew from the sky.
The middle-aged man caught it in his hand, glanced at it, and said to the yellow-clad lady, "The Sect Leader wants us to return, not to linger."
After saying that, they headed into the distance. The girl shot Ling Zhenfei a fierce look and followed the man, and soon, they disappeared entirely.
Seeing them leave, Ling Zhenfei let out a sigh of relief.
"Senior Sister Lu, what brings you here? What a coincidence."
Lu Yunshang looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "It is indeed a coincidence. What are you doing here?"
Ling Zhenfei pointed down the mountain, saying, "My home is right at the foot of this mountain. I grew up around here."
Lu Yunshang said, "But it's quite a coincidence you came just now. It's fortunate you did, or it would've been disastrous."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Who were those people just now?"
Lu Yunshang said, "They consider themselves gentlemen, but they're really petty people."
Ling Zhenfei said, "With the Foreign Land Space about to open, more experts are gathering at Xianling Mountain."
As Lu Yunshang spoke, she turned towards a nearby cave, saying to Ling Zhenfei, "If there's nothing more, you should leave now."
Ling Zhenfei was curious about the mysterious old man in the cave, wondering why Lu Yunshang wanted him gone.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Senior Sister, we're friends, aren't we? Since you're on my turf, I should be hospitable. Why are you driving me away?"
Lu Yunshang said, "There's nothing more for you here. Just leave."
Ling Zhenfei said, "If I'm not mistaken, there's an elder in that cave, right?"
Lu Yunshang paused, "How do you know? Have you been here before?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, I've been here and I'm quite familiar with the elder inside."
Lu Yunshang looked uncertain but said, "Then come in."
Following Lu Yunshang, Ling Zhenfei entered and found the elder still there.
"Elder, I've come."
The elder glanced at Ling Zhenfei, showing a hint of joy mingled with anger.
Ling Zhenfei said to Lu Yunshang, "See, I did say I knew the elder."
Lu Yunshang said, "You know him, so why didn't you tell me you're leaving?"
