Ye Chen could not help but look stunned.
He claimed that he was a cultivator and had seen a lot, but it was his first time hearing about the Lightning Horseback Cloth.
"Menstrual pads are the dirtiest thing in the world!"
Hu Meiling paused and proceeded to speak, "Therefore, it can suppress the extreme yang energy of lightning, especially a pregnant woman's menstrual pads. I was lucky to survive because of this!"
She paused as she spoke to this point.
There was a trace of fear on her beautiful face.
Nobody could imagine it.
On a night 1,000 years ago, thunder rumbled and the power of heaven was unpredictable. An injured white fox lay on the ground, shaking. Subsequently, it lifted the Lightning Horseback Cloth above its head and dodged the lightning that struck. Its fur was burnt, and it looked like a mess.
Ye Chen came to a realization when he heard that. He said, "If I'm not mistaken, the baby who survived is the ancestor of the Hu family in the northeast?"
"That's right."
"At the end of the day, his parents died because of me, but he saved my life. Therefore, I adopted him and even caught five goats. I raised each of them with goats and named him Hu.
Hu Meiling nodded slightly and said, "When he was six years old, I sent him down the mountain and gave him to a well-off family to be adopted. I also gave him a portrait with my spiritual power on it, which can help him avoid disasters."
Ye Chen finally understood the grudge between the Hu family and her.
Ye Chen finally understood the grudge between the Hu family and her. She was the reason why the Hu family was able to survive for close to a thousand years. One could tell that she was a grateful person.
"So, why are you trapped here?"
Ye Chen took a good look at the shackles and chains on her hands. Since he came in, he noticed that the shackles and chains on Hu Meiling's hands were made of special materials. The chains would shrink whenever Hu Meiling wanted to walk out of the stone pavilion.
Meanwhile, the peach blossom forest around might be a beautiful sight to outsiders, but to her, it was a formation, a cage that was made to trap her.
"Immortal Master Ye is from Shang Santian, am I right?"
Hu Meiling did not answer his question.
Ye Chen shook his head. "No!"
This was not the first time he had heard these three words.
Bai Zhanyuan said that he was from Shang Santian before he died.
The second on the Heaven Leaderboard, Yang Junlin, had also introduced Shang Santian to him.
Hu Meiling looked at him in surprise. Seeing that he did not seem to be faking it, she said, "800 years ago, I was imprisoned here by a formation set up by someone. The person who set up the formation came from Shang Santian."
She leisurely took a step forward. Just as she was about to walk out of the stone pavilion, the surrounding peach blossom forest trembled. Then, the iron chains on her back rapidly shrank, once again dragging her back into the stone pavilion.
She opened her red lips and said, "This array formation is called the Prison of Broken Life!"
"Prison of Broken Life?"
Ye Chen was surprised.
Hu Meiling nodded and said, "The Prison of Broken Life cuts off one's past life, and there is no rebirth. I've been trapped here for 800 years, and other than facing the mountain full of peach blossoms and playing the zither, I could only comprehend some small spells to pass the time. Therefore, the white fox that Celestial Master Ye saw earlier was a small trick of mine."
"I figured out this little trick five hundred years ago, and it was the first time I created the Prison of Life Reaping. It was also at that time that I met Lil Nie, Lil Liu, and Lil Bai."
"I casually enlightened them back then, and 500 years later, there were the Seven Kings who are famous in the northeast …"
"The Seven Kings?" Ye Chen frowned.
Hu Meiling nodded and said, "That's right, the Seven Kings. I enlightened a total of seven back then. Apart from the Five Kings, the other two were the fourth and seventh. The fourth was a spirit monkey, but it was captured by Shang Santian later on. The seventh was an eagle, but it failed to survive the disaster and died eventually."
She stood up and bowed at Ye Chen. She said, "Immortal Master Ye, although Lil Nie and the rest have sinned, they don't deserve to die. Ever since they stepped onto the path of cultivation, they've accumulated much merit. When the three eastern provinces fell, many people hid in the old forest. It was Lil Nie and the rest who helped them secretly that they managed to avoid the Kwantung Army."
Back when the Kwantung Army entered the mountain to capture those people, they encountered many strange things in the old forest. In the end, they even used cannons and airplanes to bomb the place. However, they failed to cause much damage to the old forest.
It was all thanks to the Five Immortals.
"Therefore, I'm begging you to spare Lil Nie and the rest's lives, Immortal Master Ye. Of course, you can tell me if you have any requests."
She bowed her slender waist completely as she spoke to this point.
Ye Chen took a good look at her for a few seconds and said while smiling all of a sudden, "I'm curious. You should know that I want the few pieces of trash's beast cores out there. Why did you lure me into the formation? You must know that you're trapped here now. It's a piece of cake for me to attack you if I want to! "
"Of course, I know that."
Hu Meiling sighed softly. "I've been trapped here for 800 years without any freedom. There's no difference between being alive and being dead to me. If Immortal Master Ye wants to attack me, I won't fight back at all!"
"Don't you want to get out?" Ye Chen asked.
"Get out?"
Hu Meiling was slightly stunned. She said, "The world out there isn't the era that I'm familiar with anymore. Even if I get out, I don't know where to go. Moreover, I'm trapped here, so it's not easy for me to get out."
Ye Chen controlled his Divine Consciousness to cover a kilometer radius. He said after thinking about it for a moment, "It's not difficult to get out. I think this so-called Life-forsaken Prison is actually built on these peach blossoms.
We'll be able to break the formation as soon as we kill all the peach blossoms on the mountain. "
Hu Meiling forced a smile as soon as she heard that.
Hu Meiling smiled bitterly. "You'll know once you try, Mr. Ye!"
Ye Chen performed the Fireball Tactic and attacked the peach blossoms nearby. However, the fireball did not burn when it hit the peach blossoms. It was useless.
A look of surprise flashed across his face.
One must know that his Fireball Tactic could blast a hole in a river. However, it was useless against the peach blossoms before him.
Interesting.
Just when he was going to take out his flying sword, Hu Meiling was not surprised at all.
Hu Meiling, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. She said, "It's useless. The person who set up the formation was a formation master. The person who tied the bell has to untie it. Moreover, I don't want to get out.
Ye Chen shook his head lightly upon hearing that she did not want to get out. He said, "Seeing that you're sincere, I'll spare the lives of the three fellas outside. However, you'll have to promise me three things."
"Just tell me what you want, Immortal Master Ye."
Ye Chen said slowly, "Firstly, the three fellas outside can't do anything bad in the outside world under the name of 'Immortal Master Ye'. Secondly, I'll take all the natural treasures in the old forest."
"Sure!"
Hu Meiling nodded and said, "What about the third thing?"
"I haven't thought of the third one yet. I'll tell you when I've thought of it." Ye Chen smiled lightly.
Hu Meiling hesitated and said, "Immortal Master Ye, can you give me Xiaohui and Xiaohuang's beast cores?"
"Impossible!"
