Chapter 136: Why Is There a Bell Ringing?

Those who heard Chu Tiankuo’s words all twitched their lips and said nothing more!

A whole family with brain problems.

Songbai excitedly gave Chu Tiankuo a thumbs-up!

Miss Xingnong said this means praise.

He had asked about it earlier in the carriage.

Everyone’s gaze shifted from Xingnong and fell on Zhao Luran.

At this moment, a mist rose from where Zhao Luran was in the Peach Blossom Grove.

She was looking around, searching for an exit.

“I heard that as long as you break through the mist, you can find the way out of the Peach Blossom Grove! Master Tiger’s speed is so fast!”

“That’s right, it’s been less than half a stick of incense, Master Tiger is amazing. I bet she can get out of the Peach Blossom Grove in more than half a stick of incense!”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the mist.

Everyone waited with bated breath for her to break through the mist and walk out.

Everyone wanted to see more clearly, maybe the next time they went to break the formation, they would be able to find the direction!

Just as everyone was staring intently at Zhao Luran, a purple figure walked out of the pink sea of clouds.

“Dang~!” Suddenly, a loud bell rang out around them.

Everyone, who had been concentrating on watching, was startled!

Why is there a bell ringing?

Before the echo of the first bell faded, another loud bell rang: “Dang~!”

Everyone looked towards the tall bell tower, where a white-haired old man was pushing a giant log to strike the bell.

“Dang~!” Another loud sound rang out.

A total of three loud bells rang out, melodious, deep, and powerful.

The lingering sound echoed in their ears, resounding throughout the entire city.

People on the streets of the capital stopped, their faces filled with astonishment: Where is the bell coming from?

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were equally stunned, why is there a bell ringing?

The Emperor was in the Imperial Study, reviewing memorials while waiting for Chu Tiankuo. Hearing the bell, he stood up, his handsome and stern face showing a hint of disbelief: “Little Laozi, did you hear the bell just now?”

He suspected he was hallucinating!

Eunuch Lao nodded excitedly: “Your Majesty, this servant heard it! Someone has broken the formation!”

Three bells indicate that someone has broken one of the Three Great Formations!

The Emperor’s hand, resting on the Dragon Desk, clenched into a fist: It’s her!

It must be her!

To be able to break through one of the Three Great Formations after only studying formations for a little over a month!

Heaven blesses the Chu Kingdom!

The Emperor thought of something and added: “Send someone to see who broke the formation!”

He was afraid it might be a formation master from the Zhao Kingdom.

“Yes!”

~

On the street, someone shouted excitedly: “Someone broke the formation! Someone broke the formation!”

Then they excitedly ran towards the Dueling Arena.

Many people on the street, upon hearing this, also started running.

Those commoners who loved to join in the fun also followed suit.

✿✿✿

Inside the Dueling Arena, everyone also realized that someone had broken the formation!

They glanced at Zhao Luran, who was still trapped in the Mist Formation, and a sense of doubt arose in their hearts.

Someone asked: “Who broke the formation?”

Then someone saw a small purple figure walk into the adjacent Boulder Formation, and immediately shouted: “Master Shen has entered the Boulder Formation! She broke the formation!”

Everyone’s first reaction: How is that possible?

Wasn’t she admiring the flowers?

Everyone looked over.

Inside the Boulder Formation, a purple figure walked in, also moving forward without stopping, as if entering her own backyard.

It didn’t look like breaking a formation at all!

Even if a formation master came, they wouldn’t break it like this!

It’s basic to stop and look for direction upon entering the formation.

Everyone was shocked: She can walk out like this?

She can break the formation like this?

Is she just guessing?

Someone said in disbelief: “How did she get out!”

✿✿✿

Everyone: “…”

Don’t know!

No one paid attention!

Everyone instantly felt like they had missed out on a million taels!

What a loss!

At this time, Songbai finally didn’t have to cover his mouth anymore, he stood up and shouted: “Master Shen, well done! Master Shen, keep going! Strive to break the Three Great Formations in a stick of incense!”

After Songbai finished shouting, he suddenly felt that he shouldn’t have stopped Shen Nan from following this morning.

Now he was alone, and his shouting lacked momentum!

He looked at Chu Tiankuo: “Master, shout some encouragement!”

Chu Tiankuo ignored him, his gaze fixed on the small figure in the Stone Forest Formation.

Wen Yuanqian and Li Wenhao’s eyes were filled with shock!

They walked over to Songbai and asked: “Is your girl really a master? Does she really understand formations?”

Songbai nodded confidently: “Of course!”

The two: “…”

Why are there so many powerful formation masters in their Chu Kingdom?

This girl’s random walking style is very similar to that day at the Welcome Inn when she randomly played a game and then won against that formation master from the Zhao Kingdom!

Could she also be Old Master Tang’s disciple?

If she’s Old Master Tang’s disciple, it wouldn’t be strange for her to walk out of the Peach Blossom Formation with her eyes closed!

Li Wenhao joined in the cheering: “Master Shen, well done! Master Shen, charge!”

Wen Yuanqian also shouted: “Master Shen, well done! Master Shen, keep going!”

Some formation masters also reacted!

The little girl wasn’t being arrogant or presumptuous, she’s a real master!

To break the formation in such a short time is unprecedented!

Many people started shouting: “Master Shen, well done! Master Shen, charge!”

This time, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Xingnong.

Those people from the Zhao Kingdom were dumbfounded, she broke the formation just like that?

A million taels lost just like that?

This must be a coincidence, right?

Who the hell goes in, doesn’t even think, just admires the peach blossoms while breaking the formation?

Is this normal?

This is not normal!

Seeing people cheering for Xingnong, the people from the Zhao Kingdom immediately shouted: “Master Tiger, charge! Master Tiger will win!”

Some Chu Kingdom formation masters who had been impressed by Master Tiger also shouted: “Master Tiger will win!”

“Master Tiger will win!”

The moment Zhao Luran heard the bell, she stopped in shock and didn’t move forward.

She looked at the tall bell tower in disbelief, how could the formation be broken so quickly?

Wasn’t she supposed to be confused?

Hearing everyone’s shouts, she came back to her senses and comforted herself: “Don’t be afraid, there are still two formations left, this one is the simplest formation, maybe she just got lucky and broke it by chance! As long as I win the next two, it’s fine!”

As a princess who had seen the world and a talented formation master who had participated in countless formation master competitions, Zhao Luran quickly regained her composure and continued to search for the exit.

She had already walked three circles in this mist, she closed her eyes and began to recall, deducing the way out.

Boulder Formation

Xingnong walked forward without stopping, without even thinking.

With every step she took, the stones in front of her would move and change, instantly transforming the path ahead.

As Xingnong walked, the stones kept changing!

Sometimes they even blocked her path, forcing her to take detours.

The Boulder Formation is famous for its ever-changing nature. The entire formation doesn’t occupy a large area, but because it constantly changes, it affects people’s judgment and makes it impossible to find the correct exit, thus trapping them forever.

Moreover, if one accidentally enters the “Death Gate,” there’s a risk of being crushed by falling rocks.

Compared to the Mist Formation, this formation does have some offensive power.
