Chapter 158: Yan Chen Gets Injured

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Yan Chen Gets Injured

With a peripheral glance, Chu Baihan could almost instantly guess the doubts in his heart.

"There are numerous formations under the heavens, and the Imperial Family of Yan Country indeed excels in them, yet the civilian formations are a class of their own, which you might not understand," she softly explained.

"So, do you know how to break this formation?" Yan Lin’s eyes sparkled with increased curiosity.

"We could give it a try."

As soon as Chu Baihan finished speaking, she pushed Yan Lin to the side.

She stood there, closed her eyes, and started to walk haphazardly on her feet.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, flashing a light.

"The Array Eye is here! Lend me a sword," she called out loudly.

Hearing her words, Yan Lin immediately threw the sword in his hand towards her.

With the sword in hand, Chu Baihan quickly started to draw something on the ground.

After a long time, she lifted the sword and plunged it fiercely into the ground.

In that instant, fierce winds arose, and the statues inside the house began to tremble.

"Prince, Princess."

Ziyi and the others watched anxiously from the outside.

"Everyone, don’t come a step closer!"

Chu Baihan’s palm vibrated painfully, but she still ordered loudly.

The moment of breaking the formation was fraught with danger, and if someone carelessly approached then, it would be akin to delivering themselves to death.

"This formation, it seems somewhat evil," Chu Baihan murmured softly.

"No good, it’s a double Array Eye!"

Suddenly, she realized something was amiss.

But by then, it was almost too late, she was recoil-struck by the formation, and her chest throbbed with pain.

"Yan Lin, quick, one meter directly in front of you, that’s the second Array Eye. Quick!"

Chu Baihan called out to Yan Lin anxiously.

Luckily, Yan Lin’s reaction was extremely quick, and the moment she spoke, he picked up a tree branch from the ground.

Using the branch as a sword, he then leaped into the formation and thrust it swiftly into the yellow earth.

A loud noise...

The ground beneath their feet actually split open.

There was indeed a hole below!

Just because it had been masked by the formation, they had not noticed it earlier.

Soon, both of them fell in.

The courtyard quickly returned to calm.

Because the wind had been too strong before, blowing so fiercely that Ziyi and the others couldn’t open their eyes.

When they finally opened their eyes at this moment, they found that the people in the courtyard had disappeared.

"Master, Princess."

They rushed in quickly, but to no avail; the people were already gone, just as Yan Chen had disappeared.

The pit was deep, and during their descent, Yan Lin immediately acted to protect Chu Baihan.

By the time they steadied themselves, Chu Baihan was completely unharmed, but Yan Lin’s arm was covered in cuts from the stone walls.

"Are you hurt?" Chu Baihan smelled a faint scent of blood and asked anxiously.

It was pitch-black around them, and nothing could be seen clearly.

So she took out a flint, wanting to check Yan Lin’s injuries.

But suddenly, Yan Lin grabbed her hand.

"Why..."

"Shh."

Yan Lin covered her mouth with his other hand.

At this moment, Chu Baihan finally calmed down.

She listened closely to the sounds around them, and soon, she too sensed that something was amiss.

There was another presence here...

And it didn’t seem to be human.

At that thought, a chill ran through her body.

Yan Lin’s large palm tightly gripped her small hand, silently soothing her.

Move forward?

Chu Baihan tapped his hand gently three times with her finger.

Yan Lin then gently tapped her back.

The two of them moved forward with an implicit understanding based on feeling.

Although Chu Baihan had seen many grand scenes, her heart still fluttered a bit when she was in the dark and surrounded by unknown entities.

Fortunately, Yan Lin was by her side, giving her a sense of inexplicable stability.

The pair supported each other and walked for a long time.

Suddenly, a sound came from nowhere.

Immediately after, the sound of wings flapping filled the air.

Yan Lin reacted quickly, hurriedly pulling Chu Baihan by the waist and pressing her against the wall, shielding her in his arms.

At that moment, there was a faint light surrounding them.

Thus, Chu Baihan could clearly see groups of black bats flying past them.

Just now in the darkness, could it have been the presence of bats?

This place, to have so many bats.

Chu Baihan felt a chill in her heart.

Despite their small size, bats have a strong attacking ability.

Most importantly, their numbers were vast, and the two of them might not necessarily be a match for them.

"Did you see the things hanging on some of the bats?" Suddenly, Yan Lin communicated to her using his inner strength.

Chu Baihan nodded quickly.

She had noticed it just now as well.

"It’s likely these bats aren’t wild but are deliberately bred," she quickly pulled on Yan Lin’s hand and wrote this on the palm of his hand.

Because she was concerned about their surroundings, Chu Baihan did not realize how ambiguous their posture was.

Noticing the softness in his palm, Yan Lin tensed up.

After taking several deep breaths, he managed to stabilize his spirits.

Gripping her fingers tightly, he continued to lead her forward.

After an unknown duration, they suddenly came upon two paths.

"Otherwise, let’s split up," Chu Baihan whispered into Yan Lin’s ear as she stood on her toes.

"No, this place is a bit sinister; I fear for your safety," Yan Lin immediately refused without hesitation.

Chu Baihan had no choice but to agree to take one path with him first.

As they walked, they eventually saw an exit.

They cautiously walked out and found themselves in a courtyard.

The cave entrance led to a courtyard.

Chu Baihan took a look at the place.

"This place seems to be an abandoned yard, with no signs of recent visits. Prince Chen is likely not here," she slowly said.

"Why are you so sure?" Yan Lin frowned.

"Look, around this entrance, there’s long grass, some of which are extremely delicate. If they were damaged by external forces, it would take a long while to recover ..." Chu Baihan began to explain as she pointed at the grass around them.

Before she could finish, Yan Lin understood.

He said gravely, "I understand. There are no marks of damage in the surrounding grass. Unless the culprit is a deity capable of flying or burrowing, it’s unlikely they could have taken my elder brother away from here."

"Let’s turn back and try the other path," Chu Baihan suggested.

As they went back into the tunnel, Chu Baihan looked back over her shoulder.

In the hazy moonlight, to the southeast of the courtyard stood Jiangnan’s most famous tower, its peak soaring seemingly into the clouds.

Having walked in the dark tunnel for a long time, Chu Baihan and Yan Lin were more experienced this time, so their speed was much faster.

Returning to the fork they had encountered earlier, they chose the other path.

After a while, they saw a figure lying unconscious.

"Elder brother?"

Yan Lin quickly approached.

He turned the person over, and indeed, it was Yan Chen.
