Mu Xiaoling wasn't angry about the fact that the man was hiding his identity. After all, they were strangers that had met by chance. How could they have truly met after just a few words? "What if I have a way to take you away?"
The man's eyes immediately widened, "I can leave?!"
Mu Xiaoling explained, "As long as I temporarily keep you in the Beast Repellent Space after the contract is completed, and the Beast Repellent Space is within my sea of consciousness, I will naturally be able to leave without any external influence."
However, when the man heard this, his originally hopeful eyes instantly dimmed. "The Cyan Demon also made a contract with me. Not only did he fail, he vomited a lot of blood and then left. He said that he had to make preparations."
He suddenly thought of a possibility. Maybe the Cyan Demon didn't go to Mu Yuanzhen first, but found him and wanted to contract with him, but he suffered a serious injury due to failure. Even his previous beast pet couldn't survive this failure, which was why he was able to escape into Mu Yuanzhen and come up with such a large plan to contract with him.
If this was the case, then there were many things that made sense. How important was a good beast pet to a talented beast driver? It wasn't impossible for the Cyan Demon to not let go even if it wanted to.
"Let's give it a try." Mu Xiaoling couldn't bear to see him at a loss, so she decided to take the risk.
The man was always unable to resist the temptation. "Okay, but before that, can you give me a name?"
Mu Xiaoling couldn't bear to refuse. "Then call me … "Jiang Feng."
"Good, it's very nice. Whether you succeed or fail, from today onwards, I'll be called Jiang Feng." He laughed softly, "If you fail, I will bury you under this tree. Perhaps in ten million years, you will be the same as me."
"I haven't lived long enough." Mu Xiaoling smiled gently as she bit her finger and pressed it between Jiang Feng's eyebrows. "With my blood, the spirit of the sacrificial ceremony, the worship of thousands of beasts, and the drive of beasts as my honor."
After chanting the incantation, Mu Xiaoling suddenly felt a very strange feeling. It seemed that contracting with Jiang Feng was an impossible task, but the remaining contract power within her body suddenly turned into a rope and chased the two of them away. When the rules were broken, it would become impossible.
Jiang Feng looked at his hands in disbelief. He could feel a strange power entering his body through the tips of his fingers, it was very warm, it made him unable to resist the urge to immerse himself in it, and he was even willing to sacrifice everything. This kind of power had completely crushed the binding force in this place into pieces, was he finally free?
"Is this the power of the contract …"
Mu Xiaoling said, "Before I leave, I still have something to take care of."
Jiang Feng looked at her, his eyes full of happiness. "What is it?"
Mu Xiaoling said, "We must destroy the array core of this place. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave this place until we remove the array core."
"Array essence?" "That Cyan Demon hid it under a tree and said that he would bring me a sesame seed cake every day as long as I don't let anyone touch it. But he promised that he would only bring me a sesame seed cake after a few months, so naturally, I will not count it. You take it."
When Mu Xiaoling took the stone, she could feel a pure energy emitting from it. She couldn't help but feel puzzled. "This is …"
Gu Xiu explained, "This is a true essence stone. Above the Middle World, gold and silver are not taken. A true essence stone is a currency that flows. The true essence inside is naturally purified by the world's spiritual energy. It is a good supplement for martial artists."
Mu Xiaoling closed his eyes and began to circulate the Heavenly Netherpassage Art. The true essence within the true essence stone in his hand was slowly sucked out along with the flow of the true essence in his meridians until it completely disappeared.
Just at this moment, the entire Mu Yuanzhen shook as if something had been broken. The haze and despair from before was gone, and even the temperature from the sunlight was filled with hope.
Mu Xiaoling knew that the array had broken. She reached out her hand to Jiang Feng and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Feng smiled and revealed a smile that was as warm as the sun. He raised his hand slowly and touched Mu Xiaoling's fingertip. Then, he turned into a ball of light and flew into Mu Xiaoling's forehead.
Jiang Feng landed on the grass and looked up at the swing where the ancient fox cultivator was.
Other than treating Mu Xiaoling, Gu Xiu treated everyone else the same. He was as indifferent as if a snowflake was falling from the sky and would never melt.
Jiang Feng, however, didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with this attitude as he walked over and stared blankly at Gu Xiu Hu's swing. He asked, "Can you let me play for a while?"
Ancient Cultivator Fox: "…"
Mu Xiaoling smiled shamelessly as she sped up her flight.
The first people to notice the abnormality within Mu Yuan Town were the ones near the city gate. Originally, this place was already connected to the end of the street, but every day, they would sigh here.
The big guy rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This door had not appeared for three years, but now it suddenly appeared just like a mirage. Everyone walked over, afraid that they would disturb the gate and make it disappear.
After a long time, a little boy ran to the city gate and ran through it, then turned back.
This was actually real!
The city gates were back!
At this moment, everyone was crying like children.
Mu Xiaoling only glanced at them from afar and didn't go over. Instead, he returned to the inn. When he arrived at the entrance, he noticed that everyone seemed to have returned. They seemed to be discussing something with worried expressions.
Zhuo Guang stood up to cheer for the big guy: "We can't be discouraged. We can't do it today, we'll go tomorrow. This Mu Yuan Town isn't that big of a deal, we can definitely find the crux of the formation."
One of the men's eyes reddened. "I miss my wife. She's about to give birth. I plan to stop and watch the children grow up after I finish this order."
The person beside him patted his shoulder in consolation.
Tang Ling stood up, "Don't be discouraged. Little Ling hasn't come back yet. I believe that Little Ling will be able to solve this impasse." She didn't know why, but she had this confidence.
However, there was someone who didn't believe it. "She's only a little girl and hasn't even reached her prime. How can she save us?"
"Forget it, we'll listen to Boss Zhuo. We'll look for one tomorrow."
Tang Ling was filled with indignation. When she saw Mu Xiaoling walk to the door, she immediately came over with a smile on her face. "Little Ling, did you find her?"
Mu Xiaoling said, "The array has been broken. I just saw the main street and saw the city gate appear. We are ready to leave at any time."
Those who had been sighing were instantly shocked. They could not believe their ears. Zhuo Guang was the first to jump out: "Are you for real?!"
Mu Xiaoling nodded her head. "Mn, we have already delayed too long."
"I'll go take a look!" Someone was running out of the inn at a fast pace, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the answer.
