My Master Knows It All

854: Chapter 242_2 854: Chapter 242_2 In an instant, above the Supreme Unparalleled Formation below, each hexagram position suddenly burst forth with a brilliant light, falling onto the corridor above.

And above the corridor, atop the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, rays of light similarly shot out, cascading downwards.

Beam after beam of light converged in the middle, merging into one, the Formation Map and the Talisman resonating in that instant.

The next moment, light beams shot out from both the Formation Map and the Talisman, all landing on Ling Xi.

Shui Lian Ajiu glanced over and saw Ling Xi bathed in dazzling light, and from afar, she appeared as if an Immortal had descended to the world.

In her heart, an illusion even arose, as if within this space, within this corridor, Ling Xi was the ruler of all!

It seemed as though the Talisman was heaven, the Formation Map was earth, and Ling Xi was human, the three faintly forming a resonant sense of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind.

She even felt that as the Array Plate unfolded, the whole world transformed.

She was clearly standing in the corridor, yet in that moment, she felt as if beneath her feet were no longer the indestructible smooth stones but an endless expanse of dust and gravel, varying soils!

At the same time, an exceedingly strange power surged forth.

It was the aura of earth.

These auras, like an invisible giant hand, firmly controlled her, tightly binding him, binding her power.

The power she cultivated, as her name suggested, was the power of water, and since water is overcome by earth, she was already suppressed by her opponent without having exchanged a single blow.

Her power was far from reaching its peak level.

She was inherently weaker than Ling Xi, and now, being restrained by Ling Xi, this…

Although Shui Lian Ajiu had never fought with Ling Xi, as a person close to the Fourth Prince, she knew through his intelligence network that this Formation Map could restrain anyone.

Therefore, standing within the Formation Map, no matter the position, one would be suppressed.

Thus, she did not make a move but instead looked towards Ling Xi with a mocking expression and scoffed, “Didn’t you say your Hundred Peaks Sect is a righteous faction?

Now that you see there’s no one else in this corridor, just the two of us, you took direct action?

Truly, the so-called righteous factions are just for show, to tell others, while in private, you are all killers, ready to do anything for the sake of competing for relics.”

Ling Xi, upon hearing the mockery, immediately showed a hint of displeasure on her face.

She did not take direct action but explained, “It’s not like that.

I’m deploying the Formation Map not to strike at you but to investigate you, to see if what you said earlier is true or false.

I want to see if you are really as you claim to be, or if you are in fact an agent of the Third or the Fourth Prince.”

The other party also held the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, so she wasn’t certain she could determine whether what the other party said was true or false.

Therefore, she deployed the Formation Map; with it, she could suppress the opponent’s power, making it simpler to verify the truthfulness of their words.

Shui Lian Ajiu’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

How could Ling Xi know about the existence of the Fourth Prince?

The Fourth Prince had come here after receiving a message from someone planted near the Third Prince and obtaining the map.

How did Ling Xi come to know this?

Could it be that there is a traitor among the Fourth Prince’s entourage?

Impossible, with the Fourth Prince’s wisdom, if he had a traitor in his midst, he would have noticed.

So there’s no issue with those around the Fourth Prince.

Could it be that there’s a problem with the people around the Third Prince, but how did the Third Prince know that the Fourth Prince was coming?

For a time, Shui Lian Ajiu’s mind was filled with doubts.

However, Ling Xi also saw the change in Shui Lian’s expression and immediately sighed softly, saying, “It seems I don’t need to probe whether you’re telling the truth or lies.

Your facial expression tells me, you’re either with the Third Prince or the Fourth Prince.”

“I am your grim reaper!”

Shui Lian Ajiu suddenly exploded in a shout, and behind her, ten Golden Cores of different phenomena that had gathered expanded, propping open this expanse of heaven and earth.

Following that, the Golden Cores on her body rapidly swelled.

Self-destruction!

She intended to self-destruct!

Knowing she was no match for Ling Xi, she decided to self-destruct.

Even if she were to die, she would drag Ling Xi down with her, or at the very least severely injure her.

Here, the Fourth Prince’s people were in greater numbers.

As long as Ling Xi was severely injured, the others would be able to slay her upon seeing her.

Self-destruction!

Ling Xi also instantly sensed the change in Shui Lian Ajiu’s aura, and in a flash, talismans suddenly shot forth in front of her.

These talismans swiftly converged, forming the semblance of a massive mountain.

Shui Lian Ajiu couldn’t understand why, for she was clearly in the corridor, where the space was extremely limited, but looking at the giant mountainous apparition formed by Ling Xi’s converging talismans, she felt as if genuine, towering mountains were breaking through the void from all over the world, plummeting down towards her.

Even though she knew the space was limited, even though she knew such immense mountains couldn’t possibly emerge here, she couldn’t shake the feeling.

She even felt as if those mountains were formed from all the great mountains in the world, and beneath her feet was no longer the ground or the stone walls, but she stood upon the peak of a towering mountain.
