Chapter 261: Sealing True Qi and the Power of Laws? Useless Against the Brats
Wasteland Province, Provincial City.
The teleportation array suddenly lit up, and three figures, one large and two small, appeared out of thin air.
“Is this the Middle Province?”
Chu Chen scanned his surroundings, his big, round eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
“We’re finally in the Middle Province?”
Chu Xin was also observing her surroundings, feeling a sense of unreality.
Although only a few months had passed since they left Dàshí Village, their experiences made it feel like a very, very long time.
The goal they had strived so hard for had finally been achieved, and they couldn’t quite believe it.
“No, something’s wrong.”
However, the man’s face darkened as he shook his head, “This isn’t the Middle Province.”
“Not the Middle Province?”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen turned to look at him in unison.
“Uncle, how do you know this isn’t the Middle Province?” Chu Xin asked curiously.
The man said in a deep voice, “I, I’ve been to the Middle Province. Generally, taking the provincial city’s teleportation array leads directly to the Imperial Capital of the Middle Province. But the teleportation array in the Middle Province Imperial Capital is much larger than this. This is clearly not the Middle Province Imperial Capital.”
“So it’s not the Middle Province. Did we take a wrong turn again?”
Chu Chen’s face was full of disappointment, his two cute little eyebrows furrowing together.
“No, it should be that Lei Zhou Teleportation Formation Guard Vice Commander playing tricks. I don’t know why he teleported us here.” The man became vigilant.
“Then where is this?”
Chu Xin looked around and asked in a low voice.
The man shook his head, “I don’t know where this is either.”
He thought for a moment, then approached the teleportation array guard and asked, “Excuse me, I want to go to the Middle Province.”
The guard ignored him, instead sizing up Chu Xin and Chu Chen for a while before suddenly saying, “Seize them all.”
The Provincial Governor had already given the order to capture all children coming from Lei Zhou, without exception.
“Run!”
The man, thinking they were after him, shouted and ran outwards.
Hearing this, Chu Xin and Chu Chen quickly followed.
However, nine teleportation array guards moved to block the three’s path.
“Form the Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation!”
The nine shouted in unison, forming hand seals, and instantly set up a formation.
“Damn it! I can’t use my True Qi or the power of Laws.”
The man fell from the sky, cursing angrily.
Seeing this, Chu Xin and Chu Chen also landed beside the man. This uncle was a good person, they couldn’t just watch him die.
“Mother Uncle, it’s really you.” Chu Xin said with a grin.
At this moment, the man, unable to use his True Qi and the power of Laws, couldn’t maintain his altered appearance and reverted to his original look.
“Wow! Mother Uncle, I told you it was you. I was right.” Chu Chen cheered in his childish voice.
The two siblings showed no fear despite being trapped in the formation.
“Mother Uncle?”
Jin Hong was stunned, staring at these two unfamiliar brats, unable to react for a moment.
Who were they?
Apart from the two little ones who rescued him, he didn’t know any other children.
Wait!
They called him Mother Uncle?
The two little ones also mistook him for their mother and rescued him.
Could it be…
Thinking of this, Jin Hong finally reacted, asking in surprise, “It’s you?”
“Yes, yes, it’s us, Mother Uncle.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded repeatedly, their little faces full of excitement.
Jin Hong’s face revealed a hint of joy. If it was these two little ones, they might still have a chance to escape.
◈◈◈
“Mother Uncle, didn’t you say you didn’t know how to get to the Middle Province?”
Chu Xin suddenly asked.
Jin Hong’s face stiffened, and he said awkwardly, “Actually, I was worried that if you followed me, you would be hunted down by the Cangzhou Provincial Governor.”
He also found it strange. Logically, the Cangzhou Provincial Governor should have sent a large number of experts, or even come personally, to hunt him down. But he encountered no resistance when crossing the provincial sea.
Unbeknownst to him, at that time, the Cangzhou Provincial Governor was on Deer Island with seven other Martial Emperors, besieging Chu Xin and Chu Chen, and had no time to chase after him.
Chu Chen blinked his big eyes and said innocently, “Even if we don’t follow you, he’s still chasing us.”
“Uh, that’s true. You dug up his blood pool. It would be strange if he wasn’t chasing you.”
Jin Hong also realized this, chuckling dryly and changing the subject, “Little friends, we should think about how to break this formation. This Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation can seal a cultivator’s True Qi. These nine teleportation array guards who set up the formation are all Martial Saints, and they can even seal the power of Laws of those who enter the formation. In other words, anyone below the Martial Emperor realm cannot escape the seal of this formation and will be rendered powerless.”
“Since you know about the Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation, you should just surrender.”
The guard commander said with a smile.
Jin Hong looked up at him and asked in a deep voice, “May I ask where this is? And why are you arresting us?”
The guard commander said indifferently, “This is the Wasteland Province Provincial City. As for why we’re arresting you, I don’t know either.”
With that, he formed a hand seal, and three chains extended from the formation, wrapping towards the three.
“These are the Soul-Locking Chains of the Soul-Locking Formation, they have the same effect as the formation. Once we’re bound, we’ll be completely at their mercy.” Jin Hong said in a low voice.
Even though he knew the power of the Soul-Locking Chains, he was now unable to use his True Qi and the power of Laws, just an ordinary person. He could only watch helplessly as the Soul-Locking Chains approached, unable to do anything.
“It sounds quite powerful.”
Chu Chen blinked his big, round eyes, looking curiously at the three chains.
Chu Xin tilted her little head and muttered, “I wonder if we can use the power of Divine Marks to set up this formation and restrict the power of Rules?”
“Huh?”
Chu Chen’s eyes lit up, “Big Sister, I think we can try. Let’s ask them to teach us this formation? But they probably won’t agree.”
“It’s okay, the Provincial Governor’s Mansion must have it. We’ll definitely find it when we empty out the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.”
Chu Xin waved her little hand, and three sword Qis shot out, shattering the three chains.
Empty out the Wasteland Province Governor’s Mansion?
Jin Hong’s mouth twitched. The Wasteland Province Governor was a Late Stage Martial Emperor. These two brats were really bold.
“You’re not affected by the Soul-Locking Formation?”
The nine guards were shocked to see the Soul-Locking Chains shattered.
Once the Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation was set up, no one had ever been able to escape its restrictions. They had used this formation to capture many Peak Martial Saints, never failing.
They didn’t expect it to be ineffective against this brat.
“Is that strange?”
Chu Chen raised his chubby little hand and swung it forcefully, sending out a saber Qi.
Crack!
The Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation made a crisp sound, and cracks appeared.
“Not good!”
The nine guards were shocked and desperately poured their power of Laws into the formation, but it was too late.
Boom!
The Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation shattered, and the nine guards were sent flying, spitting blood, suffering a severe backlash.
“So strong!”
Jin Hong was shocked. Not only were these two little ones unaffected by the Nine Palaces Soul-Locking Formation, but they could also break it with a single strike. Were they even human?
“Let’s go!”
However, now was not the time to dwell on these things. They needed to leave first.
“Go? None of you are going anywhere today.”
Just then, a cold snort sounded, and a terrifying Martial Emperor’s pressure swept over them.
