When Xiang Chengdong heard the woman mention Mr. Ye again, he waved his arm and snorted coldly, âIâll say it again. 1 donât know who Mr. Ye is!â
The woman looked at the rippling lake in front of her as she took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and lit one.
The smoke lingered in the air, adding to the mysterious aura she exuded.
âIt doesnât matter if you donât say it. 1 have the patience to wait. 1 think Mr. Ye will be here soon. Do you know why 1 chose this place?â
The woman glanced at Xiang Chengdong. Seeing that he remained silent, she continued, âBecause this place is suitable for me to use my seals and formations. After the formation was broken, 1 knew that when the Ghost Prison opened, there would definitely be people who would come looking for death. This place is perfect for me to get rid of them before the Ghost Prison opens.â
Xiang Chengdongâs expression changed slightly, but he did not say anything. He had never expected that she would have come prepared for this. What formation was hidden here?
The woman put out the cigarette and looked at Xiang Chengdong with interest.
âI forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bai Yao, the daughter of Elder Bai of the Ghost Prison.â
Hearing this, Xiang Chengdong could no longer remain calm. He had been to the Ghost Prison a few times, so he had naturally heard of Elder Baiâs name!
This name had terrified countless experts in the Ghost Prison!
Elder Baiâs seals were divine, and many of the martial arts experts locked up inside the Ghost Prison had been initially captured by Elder Bai.
Furthermore, judging from Bai Yaoâs confidence, she was definitely not weak.
âXiang Chengdong, you seem very nervous,â Bai Yao said calmly.
Xiang Chengdong naturally would not admit to this.
âWhat do I have to be nervous about? Sure, the Ghost Prison is mysterious, but you have no right to touch me given my identity.â
Bai Yao nodded.
âYouâre right. Although 1 know youâre up to no good, I wonât touch you. Rather, the person that Iâm really interested in is the person behind you.â
Bai Yao then clapped her hands and said, âCome out.â
At this moment, ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake.
Splash!
More than a dozen figures actually leapt out of the lake and knelt before Bai Yao.
âGreetings, Milady!â
When Xiang Chengdong saw these people, his pupils shrank. He knew very well that this Bai Yao had come prepared.
She had agreed to meet at Yunhe Lake not only to open the Ghost Prison, but also to kill Mr. Ye!
Mr. Ye had broken the Ghost Prisonâs formation, so this was likely their method of exacting revenge.
âXiang Chengdong, do you think these people and I can stop Mr. Ye?â
Bai Yaoâs tone was filled with disdain and pride.
If it was not for the fact that she was not at the university on the day the formation had been broken, how could that person have succeeded?
She believed that she would have killed him with ease!
Xiang Chengdong glanced at his destroyed phone. It was no longer possible to contact Ye Chen with his phone. Then, he thought of something and said to Bai Yao, âThere are still four hours before the Ghost Prison opens, so 1â11 go to the toilet first.â
Just as Xiang Chengdong was about to leave, Bai Yaoâs fingers formed a seal, and a rune landed directly under his feet.
A second later, golden light flashed, and he realized that his feet were actually shackled. It was not only that. He could tell that his strength was sealed!
Realizing this, his expression changed drastically. What kind of technique was this?
âWhat are you doing? How dare you do this! Iâm the chairman of the Medicine Alliance!â
Xiang Chengdongâs cold roar rang out, filled with endless anger.
Bai Yao crossed her arms over her chest.
âDonât even think about struggling. You canât break my seal. Iâve also set up a formation here in advance. Without my unsealing technique, no martial arts power can be used, though my own people wonât be affected.â
When Xiang Chengdong heard these words, his face turned red and he cursed, âHow f*cking despicable!â
Bai Yaoâs expression did not change at all. She turned around and her gaze focused in a certain direction. She had already noticed a black shadow rapidly approaching.
It seemed that this mysterious Mr. Ye had finally arrived.
âMr. YeâŠâ
At this point, he suddenly realized that he could not even speak.
His heart was in turmoil. It was said that many elders of the Ghost Prison had been to the Kunlun Mountains. Could it be that this technique originated from there?
Otherwise, why would it be so strong?
In the darkness, the figure gradually slowed down.
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks. He could clearly feel fluctuations below his feet, which felt very familiar, similar to the fluctuations of the spiritual talismans Ping Canghai had taught him.
However, these fluctuations were weak; much weaker than even the weakest spiritual talisman that Ping Canghai had taught him.
InterestingâŠ
Bai Yaoâs eyes were filled with interest as she walked toward Ye Chen.
She had thought that the Mr. Ye mentioned by Xiang Chengdong was at least a middle-aged man, so seeing this young man appear here was surprising. He was young enough to be a student at the university.
What kind of martial arts strength could he have at such a young age?
More importantly, how did such a person break the Ghost Prisonâs formation?
Could this fellow really be a student from the university?
âYou shouldnât be here! Scram!â
A golden ray of light shot out from Bai Yaoâs hand, carrying a surge of power toward Ye Chen. Even if this young man was a student of the university, killing him did not bother her.
The lives of ordinary people were worthless in her eyes.
Ye Chen snorted coldly when he saw the golden light. He condensed a wind blade in his hand, which flew over and collided with the golden light.
Bang!
After Bai Yao confirmed Ye Chenâs identity, she glared at him coldly and questioned, âYou broke the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation of the Ghost Prison? Are you the one behind Xiang Chengdong?â
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced at the motionless Xiang Chengdong not far away. Then, his gaze fell on Bai Yao.
âIâll give you a chance. Open the Ghost Prison now and 1â11 spare your life!â
His tone was extremely cold, as if he was giving her an order.
Bai Yao giggled as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
âYouâll spare my life? Opening the Ghost Prison requires my blood essence, unsealing technique, and key. If you have the ability, come and get it, though I imagine that youâll be in for quite the surprise.â
The very next second, she waved her hand and said, âDo it. Cut off this kidâs limbs and bring him to me! Remember to keep him alive. 1 have something to ask him.â
