    “……”

    Although Hua Cheng only swept a glance, Xie Ren believed that he could not have counted wrongly.

    He spoke in a low voice so that no one heard him except for Xie Ren, who scanned the circle quickly.

    Everyone here is holding hands, and at what point, exactly, was there an extra person?

    Could it be that Shi Qingxuan and the others made a mistake in counting? Xie Ren said, “Are you sure there are so many people? You didn’t miss them?”

    Shi Qingxuan assured: ”No.” Didn’t you say that the number of people is very important, so I’ve been counting over and over again, and I’ve subtracted the ones that left in the middle of the day, so it’s one hundred and forty-eight. What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

    For the time being, it is not convenient to say, rashly exposed will only cause useless panic, also can not let the people present to identify each other which person they do not know, after all, there are too many people, they did not know all. So, Xie Ren said: “No, just confirming.”

    On the side of the warlocks, it was even more impossible to count wrongly, it was all counted by each family after reporting the number of people they had pulled in and adding them up after the Heaven’s Eye was opened. Each person can still not be clear about how many people have been sent under their own door?

    Xie Ren whispered, “When did the extra one come in? What does he want?”

    Hua Cheng said, “Either they were mixed in from the beginning, or they followed this group of warlocks. And, it must be a human.”

    At least it must not be a ghost. The circle must be made up of all living people, otherwise there’s no way to contain the spirits.

    Moreover, it seems that this person does not want to be exposed for the time being. Because if he has already mixed into this circle, as long as one of his hands suddenly left, there is a loophole, the array of people will certainly be wiped out. But so far, the circle is still stable, which means he has been playing the “iron fence” properly.

    All the more reason not to act rashly. If that person realizes that his presence has been discovered, there’s no telling if he’ll turn tail and run. In other words, right now, they had to find this person without being detected, and pull him out without destroying the circle. This, indeed, is very difficult.

    However, Xie Ren had a solution in no time. He said, “Sanlang, with your Necromantic Butterfly, can you just expel and chase, but not kill these resentful spirits? I mean, drive them in the direction you specified?”

    Hua Cheng immediately understood what he wanted to do and said, “Yes.”

    Since this person had taken the initiative to join on his own, it must be assumed that he must not be a simple character, and was completely unafraid of these spiteful spirits.

    Then, on the flip side, if Flower City maneuvered the Necromantic Butterflies to force the Grievous Spirits out of the circle, they would surely be driven everywhere, trying to exploit the loopholes to escape. Almost every mortal could become a loophole, only one would not.

    It’s the one who volunteered to join!

    Xie Ren said, “However, this method is very risky, perhaps if you are not careful, you will scare the others into scattering, then you will be lifting a stone and stoning your own feet.”

    Flower City then said, “Don’t worry, I’ll kill the grudge spirits before that.”

    As soon as the two of them put their heads together, Xie Ren suddenly raised his voice and said, “Everyone be careful! The Grievous Spirit has suddenly become stronger! Hold on tight and don’t be afraid!”

    Heaven’s Eye opened, “What! How could a good one suddenly become stronger?!”

    Flower City did not move in place, while the Necromantic Butterflies chased the pandemonium of the grievous spirits around the circle in a frenzy, while others could not see clearly, those mage warlocks could see something. Heavenly Eyes opened angrily, “Flower City …… Lord! What are you trying to do?!”

    The two people within the circle, however, didn’t have the time to pay attention to them at all, and just gazed intently to observe. Sure enough, in the midst of the black air currents that roamed the sky, there was a person that the group of spiteful spirits didn’t even come close to, and thus there was a sudden empty space in front of him.

    That’s him!

    Xie Ren dashed forward and grabbed both of the man’s hands, simultaneously joining his left and right hands together, removing the man from this ring!

    Sky Eye Kai and the others stirred, “What’s going on?!”

    Hua Cheng nonchalantly said, “None of your business.” Before the words left his mouth, he had already dodged to Xie Ren’s side, wary of the man’s sudden attack. Xie Ren firmly restrained the man and turned him around. The moment the two sides met, Xie Ren swallowed the word “who” that had already rolled onto the tip of his tongue and widened his eyes.

    Looking at that face, he murmured, “National Master, it’s really you ……”

    The man was also stuck, and only after a long time did he murmur, “Your Highness the Crown Prince ……”

    This face, should be very familiar, but it is unfamiliar. He had the impression that the state master should be in his early thirties, still quite calm, with his robe draped and racked, quite capable of bluffing. But now this person in front of him, but looks only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, than he is not older than a few years.

    Even when he heard the voice when he was inside the Copper Furnace Mountain Monster, Xie Ren was constantly wondering later if he could have misheard it. Even when Jun Wu had told him that this person, your master, was not simple, you must be careful, he had also wondered if the emperor could have gotten it wrong. However, this person in front of him, there was absolutely no mistaking that it was his master, the last master of the Immortal Bliss Kingdom, Mei Nianqing!

    The air seemed to freeze as the three confronted each other in the middle of a human circle surrounded by more than three hundred people. And as soon as Mei Nianqing reacted, she did something unexpected in the next moment.

    Taking advantage of Xie Ren’s freeze, he suddenly counterattacked and pounced on him, his hands going for his throat!

    However, Hua Cheng was standing right next to him, how could he let him succeed? He didn’t even need to make a move, Mei Nianqing’s body flew backwards and fell several feet away. A sudden change occurred, and the people who had formed a circle hand in hand were shocked: “Why are they fighting?!” “What is this?!” “Who are they fighting?!”

    Hua Cheng said, “Brother! Are you alright?”

    Xie Ren said, “Nothing!” In fact, it looked like the State Master was a bit more troubled. Mei Nianqing spat out blood from his fall, climbed up and stumbled towards the outside of the crowd. Seeing him rushing this way, Shi Qingxuan tensed, “What do you want to do! Hey I warned you not to come over? Your Highness, he’s trying to break through the circle!”

    Xie Ren droned, “Come back!”

    Ruoxi flew out in response to the sound! But before it could wrap itself around Mei Nianqing, a sword descended from the sky and plunged|in front of the State Master, blocking his path; immediately afterward, white light appeared in the sky, and several curtains of light poured down. With that curtain of light, a white-armored martial artist descended from the sky, blocking his path!

    Both front and back were intercepted, Mei Nianqing had nowhere to escape, and as soon as he turned around, he happened to meet Ruo Xie who was dancing around in ecstasy, and with a few swipes, he was tied up and bundled to the ground. Xie Ren stepped forward and said, “Emperor? Why are you here in person?”

    Jun Wu stood up with a solemn expression and said, “The Copper Furnace Mountain side has been stabilized for the time being, so I’ve come to your side to see how things are going.”

    Xie Ren said, “How did you stabilize it?”

    Jungo said, “A new boundary was set up to temporarily trap the three mountain monsters and other inhuman things.”

    Xie Ren is most concerned but not the mountain monsters and other insignificant small demons, said, “What about …… Bai Wu Xiang?”

    Jun Wu slowly shook his head and said, “He was not found in the Copper Furnace Mountain. I’m afraid, it has long since fled elsewhere.”

    Xie Ren looked around, a blinding curtain of light surrounded them, separating them from the three hundred or so people holding hands outside, right now, the people outside the curtain of light could not see what was going on inside the curtain of light. He looked at the ground again, and the State Master rolled over, and when he saw Jun Wu, probably remembering the vicious battle from before, his face was shocked and angry, but he had the good sense to dare to speak. Jun Wu also slightly lowered his head and looked at him from above, slowly saying, “State Master Xian Le, it has been a long time.”

    Hua Cheng leisurely walked up and took a look, saying, “This State Master looks like he has no hands, how did he escape in the first place?”

    Jun Wu said, “He didn’t escape by himself, at that time, he had three helpers by his side. It was the other three state masters of Immortal Bliss.”

    Hearing this, Xie Ren really couldn t help it and asked, “What in the world are you …… you, State Master?”

    Mei Nianqing’s face was grim as he looked at Jun Wu, his hands clenched tightly, veins bulging on the backs of his hands, not knowing if he hated him for coming and messing up his plans, or hated him for exposing himself in front of Xie Ren. Only after a long time did he whisper, “Didn’t you already guess, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

    One of Prince Uyong’s four guardian heavenly deities!

    Xie Ren said, “What about Prince Wuyong? Is he Bai Wuxiang?”

    At those words, Jun Wu was stunned and said, “Xian Le, Prince Wuyong is?”

    Xie Ren then remembered that he hadn’t had time to tell Jun Wu Wu about the Wuyong Kingdom. Having finally captured the State Master, Xie Ren had a lot of things to explain and questions to ask, which were not convenient to deal with here, saying, “Emperor, let’s talk about it when we return to the Upper Heavenly Court.”

    Jun Wu said, “That’s fine.” After pondering for a moment, he added, “However, most of the resentful spirits of the Copper Furnace have been transmitted to the Imperial City, and they can’t be suppressed in a moment, even if it’s me, it would take seven days and seven nights to completely purify them.”

    Do we have to wait seven days before we can interrogate the Master? That would be too late, and right now Bai Wuxiang’s whereabouts were still unknown! While Xie Ren was pondering what to do, he heard Hua Cheng say, “Leave this place to me. You just go up.”

    Xie Ren turned his head to look at him, Hua Cheng had anticipated what he was thinking and said, “There’s no need to say anything else. I’ll just wait for you here. If brother really wants to thank me, just come down and find me earlier.”

    Jungo said, “Is this feasible?”

    Xie Ren spread a smile and said, “Well, it’s feasible.”

    At this time, the light curtain suddenly flickered with silhouettes, and a person rushed in from outside, limping and jumping, shouting, ”Your Highness the Crown Prince! What are you doing inside, Your Highness the Crown Prince? Is it okay?”

    It was Shi Qingxuan. It turned out that Jun Wu had pulled a curtain of light to keep people from seeing him when he came down, so that the people outside didn’t know what was happening and were scared half to death, and Shi Qing Xuan volunteered to rush in to see what was going on. If it was anyone else, he might have been stopped, but he had been a Magus before, and the light curtain recognized him and actually let him in. As soon as he came in he was dumbfounded, ”Di di di di, emperor? How …… did you personally come down?!”

    When Jun Wu saw him, he smiled slightly and said, “Master Wind Master, goodbye.”

    “……”

    Shi Qingxuan snapped, somewhat oddly embarrassed. After all, it was impossible for him not to know that after the matter of Shi Wudu changing his own brother’s fate and sending him to heaven was revealed, it would inevitably cause a storm in the sky. At this time, when he saw his former superior again, he really didn’t dare to think of anything other than shame and weakness. Jun Wu, however, didn’t say anything to him right, and was still very polite, giving face. Xie Ren collected Ruo Xie, Mei Nianqing slowly stood up by herself. Shi Qingxuan snapped and finished, wondering, “Which one is this ah? What’s the situation now?”

    Mei Nianqing glanced at him and suddenly said, “You’re Shi Qingxuan aren’t you?”

    Shi Qingxuan froze and said, “Who are you? How do you know my name?” Most importantly, how is it that he still recognized him after seeing this demeanor?

    Mei Nianqing hummed, “You’re not a good choice for a name either.”

    Shi Qingxuan was puzzled, “Huh?”

    Mei Nianqing, however, did not say anything else and consciously followed Jun Wu, looking quite honest, probably knowing that now that he had no help around him, even if he was not tied up, he would not be able to escape from under Jun Wu’s hand.

    Jungo said, “Xianle, I’ll take him up first. You’ll come back later?”

    Xie Ren said, “Yes.”

    Jun Wu nodded to him. When those two went first, Xie Ren turned to Hua Cheng, and before he could speak, Hua Cheng said, “Brother don’t worry, just guarding the circle so they don’t mess up, it doesn’t take much.”

    Shi Qingxuan also said, “You want to go up first, Your Highness the Crown Prince? Go go go, I’ll be watching too, don’t worry!”

    Xie Ren nodded and said, “Tough on you guys.”

    In the past, Hua Cheng would have replied something like “nothing”, but this time, he hugged his arms and sighed, “Alas, it’s quite hard.”

    “……”

    Xie Ren always felt that he was hinting at something. Shi Qingxuan, however, was oblivious to this and said cheerfully, ”Yes, just remember to treat us when you turn around. How about I suggest a banquet at the best restaurant in the Imperial City? Hahaha ……”

    He still can’t stop thinking about having a banquet at the best restaurant in the Imperial City, Xie Renxin said, “…… Master Feng don’t say it, he doesn’t mean what you think he means at all ……”

    Hua Cheng shook her head, casually playing with the red coral beads that hung under the strand of thin pigtails twice, raised her eyebrows, and said in what sounded like an understatement, “It would have been fine if elder brother was around. Thinking of my brother going up to the sky again and leaving me alone down there, well, I feel even harder.”

    Shi Qingxuan finally felt a little strange, but still did not figure it out, smiled broadly, “Blood rain scout how do you speak so interesting, I listened and thought you were saying that the crown prince is going back to the upper heavenly court you lonely, how with the newlyweds like hahaha ……”

    “……”

    Xie Renxin said, “You didn’t think wrong, isn’t that what he meant?”

    After Shi Qingxuan laughed awkwardly for half a day, Xie Ren couldn’t hold back any longer and coughed lightly, saying, “Master Feng, ah, you, you go out first, go out for a while, okay?”

    Shi Qingxuan: “? Why?”

    Xie Ren couldn t explain and said, “You …… you go out first just. We are just saying goodbye.”

    Only then did Shi Qingxuan nerd out. There was only the two of them within the curtain of light, there was no more third person, and Xie Ren turned around again. Hua Cheng was still looking at him with one eyebrow raised, seemingly waiting for him to say or do something.

    So, Xie Ren stiffened her heart, placed both hands stiffly on Hua Cheng’s shoulders, settled for a moment, rubbed up fiercely, and kissed him on the cheek.

    After kissing, he looked back as a thief, no one was there, and only then did he feel relieved. Who knows, the next moment, his waist tightened, but it was Hua Cheng who wrapped his arms around him, narrowed his eyes, and said, “Brother, aren’t you being too perfunctory?”

    His tone was half-true and half-false dissatisfaction, which was slightly dangerous, and Xie Ren was startled, busily saying, “No!”

    Hua Cheng said, “Is that so? You weren’t like this when you approached me to borrow mana. Is this the only way I can get a goodbye without borrowing mana anymore?”

    “……”

    Thinking like this, Xie Ren felt as if it was quite insincere. In a flash, she whispered, “…… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way.”

    However, after apologizing, he actually really think the more he thought about it, the more he thought it looked like that meaning, the alarm bells in his heart was ringing loudly, fearing that Huacheng really misunderstanding, did not wait for him to respond, without saying a word, physically, jumped up and hugged Huacheng’s neck and violently rubbed on it again. This time, solidly kissed where Hanacheng wanted.

    Who knows, well dead, Shi Qingxuan’s voice suddenly came: ”Your Highness the Crown Prince, how do I think it’s strange, you guys don’t need to let me go even if you say goodbye? I am the …… Crown Prince? Leaving so soon?”

    Xie Ren rolled and fled.
