Chapter 388: Forbidden Air Flower Sea

He didn't talk much with Fu Xing.

This kid, as soon as he showed up, was immediately used as a tool by Xu Xiaoshou.

After successfully using this guy to draw everyone's attention, Xu Xiaoshou seized the moment when no one was watching and quickly slipped away.

The banquet hall was truly a tempting place.

But digging a pit to bury someone was clearly more important.

Wealth was just an external possession; using money to kill people was the ultimate realm.

The same went for Beidong Zhi.

After successfully leaving the banquet hall, he turned a corner and entered the dim moonlight.

The quiet path was lined with shadowy trees and accompanied by a cool breeze; the earlier sections were still lit by some night-luminous pearls.

But the deeper he went, the darker it became.

In the end, even the light vanished.

Mu Zixi's heart started pounding.

"Where is he going?"

"The small forest?"

Walking further in like this, wasn't it leading to the small forest?

She didn't know what lay ahead, and Xu Xiaoshou didn't have a map, but he was just wandering aimlessly, avoiding every exit he encountered.

After all the twists and turns along the way, Mu Zixi was completely lost.

"Xu, Xu Xiaoshou, where are we going?"

It was just the two of them here, eerily quiet.

As soon as Mu Zixi spoke, she felt like her heartbeat was drowning out her voice.

Xu Xiaoshou noticed something odd in the young girl's words but didn't think much of it.

"Digging a pit, of course!"

"How else would I bury someone?"

Mu Zixi's heart skipped a beat.

Digging a pit to bury someone?

What did that mean?

Digging a pit was only for burying the dead, right!

Did that mean... he still wanted to... first...

"Hmm, what's this place?"

Xu Xiaoshou's surprised remark interrupted her wild thoughts.

She looked ahead and saw that the scene had suddenly opened up into a vibrant sea of colorful flowers.

A rich, fragrant scent rushed toward them, refreshing their spirits and blowing away any improper notions.

Xu Xiaoshou was a bit surprised.

Mu Zixi had been following him the whole way and had no idea that he had already broken through numerous trapping arrays using his "Gan Zhi."

In fact, to test what he'd learned from "Fang Zhi Jing Tong" in his mind,

Xu Xiaoshou later didn't even use "Gan Zhi"; he solely relied on the map of all things' veins to deduce the method to break the arrays.

Xian Tian-level trapping arrays couldn't stop him at all.

But as soon as he used "Gan Zhi" combined with "Fang Zhi Jing Tong" to break the first Zongshi Ling Array, something unusual happened.

"A sea of flowers?"

"Could there be some buried treasure ahead?"

Xu Xiaoshou's eyes lit up.

He didn't know if there was treasure buried here, but this place was so secluded, with a Zongshi Ling Array as a barrier, making it an ideal spot for a burial ground!

As long as he could lure Zhang Taiying here and open the boundary, who would know a battle had taken place?

"Little shimei, stay close to me and don't wander off."

Xu Xiaoshou called out and stepped into the sea of flowers.

The flowers were tall, almost reaching his waist.

Of course, that was for Xu Xiaoshou.

For Mu Zixi, walking through this sea of flowers felt suffocating, as if it was up to her chest!

She immediately flew up a bit higher, which made her feel better.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Xu Xiaoshou's body tensed, and he reached back to grab Mu Zixi's waist.

Mu Zixi: ???

The warmth and tickle on her waist made her shrink back abruptly and retreat quickly.

"What are you doing?"

The young girl's face turned red with embarrassment as she scolded him.

Xu Xiaoshou awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Why are you flying so high?"

He had been focused on the Ling Array and almost forgot about the girl behind him.

"How I fly is my business!" Mu Zixi lifted her chin. "Is that an excuse for you to grope me?"

Xu Xiaoshou: ...

"Stop messing around, come down quickly."

Seeing Mu Zixi rising even higher, now taller than him by a head, he urged, "The Ling Array here seems strange, not your ordinary Zongshi level. Don't act rashly; wait until I've figured it out."

"What's so strange about it..."

The young girl hadn't finished speaking when her suddenly elevated body halted abruptly, as if yanked down forcefully.

With a thud, she hit the ground hard.

"Ow... ouch."

She ended up covered in mud.

"Pfft!" Xu Xiaoshou burst out laughing.

Looking at his little shimei climbing up from the ground with a resentful expression, he teased, "See? What's so strange? Just a light fall..."

"Ah!"

Mu Zixi raised her fist to jump up and hit him, but it seemed the Ling Array had become more sensitive after the first trigger.

As soon as her foot left the ground, she was pulled down again.

Another thud, and she landed unsteadily on her knees.

Xu Xiaoshou quickly stepped forward to steady her.

"No, no, you can't do that..."

Mu Zixi: ???

"Cursed... Beidong Zhi, 1, 1, 1, 1..."

After helping the girl, whose skirt was now completely soiled, to her feet, Xu Xiaoshou began to ponder.

"A ban on flying?"

He was a bit surprised.

This flight-ban barrier was quite advanced!

It involved theories of "space" and "restriction," which had already touched on the levels of the Great Dao.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a power only Wangzuo could possess.

Yet the Ling Array here was clearly only at the Zongshi level?

How was that possible?

Xu Xiaoshou had "Fang Zhi Jing Tong," and if his Ling Yuan were more enduring, he could draw a spider web in the void.

But achieving something invisible and intangible was still beyond him.

"This sea of flowers is quite odd!"

He recalled the time at Tian Sang Ling Palace's back mountain, when he first entered Rao Yin Yin's spiritual site, which was also a sea of flowers.

The difference was, that one was full of hallucinogenic "Hong Huan Hua Su."

As for this place...

They both gave off a similar bad feeling...

"Be careful."

Xu Xiaoshou frowned and warned her before continuing forward into the sea of flowers.

Mu Zixi wrinkled her brow, looking at her dirty little skirt; she really wanted to change clothes, but clearly, this wasn't the time.

Fortunately, once they entered the flowers, everything was hidden, which was actually quite nice!

Except for the stuffy feeling in her chest...

As she was thinking, she suddenly saw Xu Xiaoshou flying up into the air!

The young girl's eyes widened in shock.

With their height difference, Xu Xiaoshou flying meant she had to crane her neck completely to see him.

"This isn't fair! How can you fly?"

"Receiving doubt, Beidong Zhi, 1."

Xu Xiaoshou was leisurely up in the air, casually dropping words from above.

"It's not that I want to fly; it's this night scenery calling to me."

Mu Zixi: ...

She barely managed to suppress her urge to lash out.

After all, if she jumped, she'd just fall again...

Xu Xiaoshou curiously surveyed the surroundings from the sky.

He could fly, honestly, not because he'd deciphered the Ling Array here.

It was purely due to his ridiculously powerful passive skills.

That "ban on flying" was strong, but it couldn't suppress his "Toughness" combined with "Strength"!

Xu Xiaoshou was thrilled. The level of this Ling Array was indeed only "Zongshi," or else, even with his Zongshi-level body, he'd never fly against a Great Zongshi array.

But now...

Xu Xiaoshou was genuinely curious—who had set up this place?
