Chapter 219 The Adventure of True Heart Chapter
After Fei Xi finished speaking, she stared intently at the strange black figure in the air. There was one more thing she didn't say directly.
This person claims to be omnipotent, and his light sphere, named Hanging Bead, may only be usable within the temple's grand formation.
A mocking laugh rang out, as if ridiculing Fei Xi's excessive imagination.
The shadowy figure spoke in a dismissive tone, as if coaxing a child:
"Alright, what you're saying is quite amusing. I've always disdained lying. Why don't you use the information I've given you to make it more plausible? This little loach is a trinket I recently caught from the sea. Why don't you explain to me why I would bother with such a worthless little loach?"
Fei Xi was so stunned by the question that she stood there dumbfounded.
Leaving aside others, the fact that Boss Qiu Wandai appeared in the Kingdom of Us is clearly because he came for the omnipotent hanging bead.
Boss Qiu redeemed La Pei 5 years ago, which means that at least 5 years ago, he already knew about such a magical light pearl in the underground temple of the Kingdom of Us.
As for why it is said that Boss Qiu came here for the Light Pearl, rather than the Iron Bucket Monster.
The story of the Iron Bucket Monster killing people was fabricated by Fei Xi after she met Xiao Hua, in order to draw out the Heavenly Craft Fortress behind the Kingdom of Us and disrupt the situation.
The appearance of the Iron Bucket Monster was somewhat unexpected, but also within Fei Xi's expectations.
Zhao Danai was from Tiangongbao. When he discovered the iron barrel monster in the dilapidated temple, he was overjoyed.
This indicates that there is an Iron Bucket Monster in the ruined temple, something that Tiangongbao was unaware of before.
Taking advantage of this information gap, Fei Xi's fabricated story of seeing the Iron Bucket Monster will surely be reported to Senior Mu by Xiao Hua, who will then send someone to investigate.
After all, for the people of Tiangongbao, ordinary people could not fabricate such a thing as the Iron Bucket Monster unless they witnessed it with their own eyes and experienced it firsthand.
Since Tiangongbao dared not show itself directly, the best option for investigation was to let the Iron Bucket Monster find its companions on its own.
Qiu Shuying, who should have been hiding to avoid being hunted down, suddenly brought her to the Kingdom of Us. There are probably two reasons for this:
One side learned that Boss Qiu had appeared in the Kingdom of Us and knew his opportunistic nature, so they came here specifically to try to take advantage of the chaos.
Secondly, Prince Aro may have deliberately revealed the temple's secrets to Qiu Shuying for some reason.
Whether Yu Heng and the others, as well as the people of Tianshan, knew about the hanging beads is still up for debate.
However, if what the shadowy figure said is true, the temple array and the hanging bead he created must have existed before he captured the silver dragon, and were definitely not designed to destroy the silver dragon.
This shadowy figure set up such a bizarre array in the temple, if not to trap the silver dragon and force the gentle, harmless dragon to kill...
So what exactly is his intention?
However, when Fei Xi recalled the feeling of being almost controlled when she held the pendant, she firmly believed that her deduction was correct.
The bead kept tempting her to use its power to kill the silver dragon, but if the silver dragon wanted to break out of the formation, it would have to kill everyone inside.
Just as Fei Xi's mind was racing, a haughty voice beside her pulled her back to reality:
"You really are as rumored, enjoying playing tricks on others."
"Hehehe, why are you in such a hurry to stand up for your little girlfriend? I haven't said a single lie. Since she likes to presumptuously speculate about other people's thoughts, she might as well give me an explanation and tell me why I acted this way."
As soon as Ji Zhongxuan opened his mouth, the shadowy figure retorted with displeasure.
A strange feeling stirred within Ji Zhongxuan, but before he could figure it out, his hand was suddenly grasped, and a soft, confused voice sounded in his ear:
"Fish friend... what little fish friend? Is it a little fish? Senior brother, is the little loach he mentioned the silver dragon that saved us?"
As soon as Mu Qingfeng finished speaking, the scene fell into an eerie silence, and everyone fell silent.
She looked around. Some people were frowning, seemingly as confused as she was, while others were looking her and Fei Xi up and down.
People may not know what "girlfriend" means, but they can probably guess what it means just by looking at the words.
"Oh, the cute little girl is jealous and angry, huh? This little girl..."
Before the shadowy figure could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fei Xi, who had regained her senses:
"I guessed wrong, but I wasn't wrong either, because if it wasn't the Silver Dragon, it would have been someone else."
"You deliberately leaked the existence of the hanging beads. You intended to use them to lure martial arts masters over, but the person who first learned of their existence deliberately kept it a secret."
"I don't know why you didn't care about this matter. The hanging beads attracted people who knew about its existence, and also led us into the formation you set up."
"When I entered the wasteland array that the main hall teleported me to, I found that it would continuously amplify the dark emotions in people's hearts. At the time, I didn't understand how it was done until I encountered that pool of black water. Then I realized that you used that pool of black water as the core of the array to set up the entire wasteland array."
"You lured people here to test the effects of that pool of black water on people, and to incite them to kill each other. If anyone is lucky enough to survive in the black pool and bring the pendant out, and cherishes it like a treasure, he will likely be affected by the pendant and become a puppet in your hands, at your mercy."
There was another half-sentence that Fei Xi didn't say directly.
This shadowy figure probably wanted to obtain someone he could control, someone who could move freely in the black water, through the hanging beads.
A boat ticket sounds like something you'd only need to cross a river, and that river is probably the Blackwater River. Now that the shadowy figure has received the boat ticket from his junior brother, he naturally no longer needs such a person.
It seems that ever since he realized his junior brother was there, he deliberately picked a fight to threaten him with her!
It wasn't because she destroyed the enemy's formation to save the silver dragon that someone came knocking on her door demanding compensation.
Hmph, Fei Xi, still resentful, completely failed to notice what she had subconsciously overlooked. For example, why she was so certain that the silver dragon wouldn't kill, while the shadowy figure wanted it to break its rules; and the strange, ambiguous atmosphere between Junior Brother Ji and the shadowy figure, seemingly both enemies and friends.
Everyone present was pondering Fei Xi's words. Although they hadn't seen the Blackwater Pool and didn't know what it was, they had all been to the wasteland after the main hall's teleportation. Recalling their experiences there, it was indeed as Fei Xi had said—easily controlled by negative emotions and difficult to maintain rationality.
"Hehehe, the beaded ornament is destroyed, so you can say whatever you want."
As soon as the shadowy figure spoke, he suddenly released a plume of black smoke, which instantly swept up Mu Qingfeng and brought her in front of him.
"Let go of my junior sister! You dare to do it but not admit it, what kind of man are you? No wonder your girlfriend left you."
The pain from almost being strangled still lingered on her neck. Fearing the shadowy figure would harm her junior sister, Fei Xi blurted out words without thinking, successfully drawing the shadowy figure's hatred.
The shadowy figure had just touched Mu Qingfeng when he heard Fei Xi's words. As if he'd lost interest, he simply tossed Mu Qingfeng back.
Ji Zhongxuan used his lightness skill to leap up and catch her. Fei Xi quickly stepped forward to take her pulse. Her pulse was steady, but her junior sister kept her eyes closed and was trembling all over. No matter how she was called, she would not wake up.
Just as Fei Xi looked up to question the shadowy figure about what he had done to her junior sister, she heard the shadowy figure speak in a voice that was both amused and chilling:
"Whoever wants this silver dragon, come and play a game with me. If you win, you get the silver dragon; if you lose, you die."
The expressions of the group who had been listening intently to Fei Xi's confrontation with the shadowy figure suddenly changed.
Despite the combined efforts of Cui Chou and the young man from the Qingcheng Sect, as well as Fei Xi's exquisite divination and positioning, this shadowy figure could not be harmed in the slightest.
Anyone with a sound mind would know that they had no way to deal with this person.
Yu Heng, who had already given up on the Silver Dragon, exchanged a glance with Dongfang Rui. Dongfang Rui stepped forward and asked:
"what game?"
"truth or Dare."
As soon as the shadowy figure spoke, everyone present except Ji Zhongxuan looked completely bewildered.
Truth or Dare? What is this?
"I have another bead here. The bead will randomly select someone. Whoever is selected must come forward and touch the bead. After touching it, they must truthfully tell what they saw inside the bead. If you don't want to tell the truth, you can choose a dare. I won't make things difficult for you. Whoever chooses a dare, as long as they reveal someone else's secret, they will pass the test."
