My Master Knows It All

853: Chapter 242 853: Chapter 242 “Senior sister, you see you’re still not cautious enough, just like how I seized the advantage just now.

So, senior sister, please let your junior go in first.”

With Yan Yourong entering the entrance of the corridor, the corridor closed behind her.

The situation they did not wish to see still occurred; it seemed likely that someone had reached the front and even taken control of this palace, governing the rules of the corridor.

After his conversation with Yan Yourong, Cao Zhen did not leave the corridor right away, but instead took out a pill and swallowed it, beginning to nurse his injuries.

The explosion he just faced was, after all, from someone with a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

Now, within this strange corridor, he had no idea what sort of opponent he would encounter in the next corridor.

What if he came across the subordinates of the other four princes and they exploded once again?

Therefore, it was better to take some time to heal first.

Fortunately, he had an abundant supply of pills on him and also possessed the modified Healing Divine Power given by Xiang Ziyu, which allowed him to recover much faster than an ordinary person.

About four hours later, he finally stood up, approached the two deceased individuals, and took their Qiankun Bags before continuing forward.

Of course, four hours was not enough time to fully heal all his injuries.

However, continuing to stay put and heal would significantly reduce the healing’s effectiveness; those injuries required slow recuperation, and moreover, he did not have the luxury of time to continue resting there.

Meanwhile, in the corridor from which Cao Zhen had departed, Ling Xi did not stay either.

After Yan Yourong left, although the entrance to the corridor temporarily closed, it reappeared after a short while.

Ling Xi stepped through the entrance that reappeared, but instead of Yan Yourong, she encountered someone else, a person she had never seen before.

This, too, was a woman, one who even exhibited a somewhat aloof temperament.

The woman, upon seeing Ling Xi, clearly exhibited a look of surprise, and Ling Xi, noticing the change in the woman’s expression, softly asked, “Do you know me?”

“Indeed, I recognize you,” the woman replied with a slight nod and a smile.

“Ling Xi, one of the ten Immortal Generals from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, even capable of destroying the Formation Map of a reincarnated Great Ability in battle, how could I not know you?”

Ling Xi, however, looked at the woman warily.

The Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman materialized in front of her, and the phenomena of her Golden Core appeared behind her as she said gravely, “But I do not recognize you.

Where do you come from?”

“Me?” The woman responded in a low laugh, “Everyone calls me Shui Lian Ah Jiu.

Strange name, isn’t it?

I don’t come from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, I come from the east, from the Eastern Ming Empire.”

While Shui Lian Ah Jiu spoke, she did not release her combat strength, fully aware of the terror of Ling Xi.

Now that Ling Xi was on guard, if she released her combat strength, Ling Xi would only become more wary, and Shui Lian Ah Jiu would have even less chance to launch a surprise attack.

If she couldn’t ambush Ling Xi, there would be no possibility of defeating her.

Therefore, she preferred not to make a move.

However, why was Ling Xi here?

If Ling Xi was here, what about the others from the Hundred Peaks Sect?

Especially that Cao Zhen!

If it were a normal situation, she and her companions wouldn’t fear the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect as long as they were with the fourth prince.

But now, it was unclear what had happened; suddenly, no one could walk together anymore.

If they encountered Cao Zhen alone, even if the fourth prince himself faced Cao Zhen…

Shui Lian Ah Jiu’s mind was filled with doubts and worries.

Ling Xi looked at the woman before her, unsure whether she was affiliated with the third prince or the fourth prince.

In reality, whether they were from the fourth prince or the third prince, they were enemies of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and she should have attacked directly, but she could not be certain the woman was not with someone else.

Perhaps, someone just happened to walk in?

Suddenly, she remembered what her younger apprentice-sister had said to her before leaving, that she was still too kind.

So, if she truly wanted to find out who the person was, it wasn’t impossible; within her Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, there was a talisman that could probe the other party.

With a thought, the Unparalleled Formation Diagram appeared in her hand.

In fact, she had more than one Formation Map in her hands now.

After everyone had broken through to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, the Formation Maps could be utilized, but others, including her fellow disciples and even her master, easily had their Formation Maps broken by others.

Therefore, before setting off this time, Little Bei Yan and Xiang Ziyu entrusted their Formation Maps to her because they could be most effectively used in her hands.

Shui Lian Ah Jiu, seeing the disk-like Formation Map suddenly appearing in Ling Xi’s hand, was instantly shocked.

She knew not only the appearance of those from the Hundred Peaks Sect but also their capabilities.

She knew that Ling Xi possessed a Formation Map that, once deployed, was extremely powerful.

Now, the Formation Map Ling Xi brought out must be that very one.

Why was she taking out the Formation Map?

To attack her?

Wasn’t Ling Xi a disciple from one of the ten great Immortal Sects, from a reputable and orthodox lineage?

Could it be that upon meeting someone, she was going to attack directly?

Caught off guard by this, Shui Lian Ah Jiu saw the Array Plate spread out in front of her, enveloping the entire corridor completely.
