Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Oh no, Master has been captured by a demon

Aunt Niao’s dance is interesting; it’s not a solo dance but a duet.

Watching it a second time, Zhang Ze estimated her partner’s height based on Aunt Niao’s gaze and the height of her raised hand.

It’s about the same as Elder Wang.

The key to breaking the puzzle lies within these dance steps. Each step of Aunt Niao’s shadow creates a green glowing point at a corresponding position.

Step on the points, accompany her to finish a dance, and the secret realm will open.

Although Zhang Ze couldn’t imagine his portly Grandpa Wang dancing, that’s how it is.

Looking at the Cold City affair from Aunt Niao’s perspective, it’s actually not complicated.

First, the Hundred Demons Sect caused trouble in Cold City, and Aunt Niao imprisoned herself in the Illusion Realm, dream-locking the Cold City.

Then, there was the old residence wedding chamber, the paper crane will.

Followed by the token of love, and the Taoist Temple secret realm.

Finally, the past dance, and the lover breaking the puzzle.

Zhang Ze could only say that Aunt Niao’s sequence of little tricks was filled with a youthful touch.

Her being the protagonist in this plot segment was surely a small climax.

After hearing Zhang Ze’s explanation, Chen Qin asked.

"Senior Brother, is this method of breaking the array reliable?"

"What if someone inadvertently steps on this sequence and enters the secret realm?"

Zhang Ze shook his head, "That would be too much of a coincidence. If there really was such a person, it could be said his luck is remarkable, even more incredible than Lin Feng."

Chen Qin thought so too.

"Then please, Senior Brother." Chen Qin gestured invitingly.

Chen Qin couldn’t dance, Zhang Ze knew this.

Regarding Chen Qin’s talent in this aspect, if one had to evaluate, it would be that there’s no talent at all.

None at all.

But Zhang Ze also didn’t want to dance with Aunt Niao, even if it was just a shadow.

First, Aunt Niao’s shadow had eyes filled with deep affection, which Zhang Ze couldn’t handle, neither ethically nor morally.

Wang is his elder, and this hurdle couldn’t be overcome in his heart.

Second, he had other methods to enter the secret realm.

Zhang Ze lightly kicked Li at his feet, "Get to work."

"What? Do you want me to dance?"

"Look at how long my legs are now." Li looked up at Zhang Ze.

"Stop pretending, I know you can dig in."

"Get to work quickly."

Upon hearing this, Li gasped and thought to herself about how terrifying this person was.

"Clearly, my acting had no flaws; how did he know I had a method to break the array?"

"I just wanted to see this guy dance, and after he makes a fool of himself, I’d save the day and leave him stunned, serving me well with good food and drinks henceforth."

"Such a scheme was seen through with just a glance!"

"Could it be that he has some other hidden secrets?"

"Can he actually peer into my mind?"

Zhang Ze lightly coughed twice, interrupting Li’s wild thoughts.

"Didn’t you forget one thing? When you speak in your heart, I can hear it." Zhang Ze pointed to his head.

Li and Zhang Ze were linked at the core, so this kind of Divine Sense communication came naturally.

While Zhang Ze had the habit of hanging up, Li did not.

Since entering the courtyard, Zhang Ze’s mind had been filled with Li’s mutterings.

"Tch."

Li learned to hang up.

After making sure her internal thoughts would no longer be overheard, Li sighed, wanting to reclaim some dignity for herself.

"Pathetic."

"To think that I have to personally intervene."

"Watch carefully, this is the power of a Dragon."

This miraculous Illusion Realm was related to Stone Pill and some kind of magical artifact.

And Li had been suppressed as the core of a magical artifact for who knows how many years while still just a sphere.

Entering here felt like returning home.

She had also consumed a Magic Mirror from Dragon Tiger Mountain worth over fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Though she did not understand the principle of the array set by Ling Liu, she could still achieve miracles through brute force.

Li stretched her small arms and legs, strolling around the courtyard, sensing the faint and elusive aura.

Until she walked three steps from the well, Li’s Dragon Eyes lit up with golden light, and she struck the ground with one paw.

"It’s here!"

Ripples formed in the ground, turning the hard surface ethereal, and an entrance appeared before Zhang Ze.

The array concealing the secret realm was forcibly broken by Li.

"Amazing, isn’t it?"

Li confidently put her hands behind her back.

"Let’s go; this entrance won’t stay open for long."

Zhang Ze pulled a steel bar from his Hundred Treasures Bag, holding it as a defense.

But just as he was about to enter the secret realm, that strange feeling returned.

He instinctively turned his head to glance in the direction of the Taoist Temple’s divine hall.

"Huh?"

The two stone stools disappeared.

Zhang Ze saw in the shrine hall, a big black monk was happily chatting with an old man.

The monk looked really peculiar.

Estimated to stand at about nine feet tall, face as black as coal, leopard head and eyes, wearing a dilapidated blue-white cassock sitting on the ground.

In his right hand was a string of Buddha beads, each bead the size of an adult’s fist, color like deep jujube.

He looked like he wouldn’t need makeup to steal a kasaya, even a Bear Demon would call him big dad.

Zhang Ze isn’t someone who hogs things to himself, when there’s something novel, he always thinks of his junior sister.

"Junior sister, look quickly, a very black monk!", Zhang Ze patted Chen Qin’s shoulder.

"Wow.", That was Chen Qin’s exclamation.

"Hurry up, the entrance is going to disappear, what’s so good about a bald Bear Demon?", This was Li urging.

...

In the shrine hall.

The old man was boasting about his son, boasting until his mouth was dry.

But with a blink of an eye, he saw a hairless Bear Demon appear in front of him.

The demon was bowing its head eating the dried fruit he had handed over.

"Where is my daughter-in-law!", The old man exclaimed and fell to the ground.

The grand monk was startled by the voice, "What daughter-in-law... Hey, who are you! Where is Aunt?".

The grand monk looked at the wrinkled old man, feeling something was strange.

And the thing he had been forgetting all along was suddenly remembered.

He slapped his forehead.

"Master is lost!"

Turning his head to look into the courtyard, yet couldn’t see his master.

And those few stray cats just now, two of them had already transformed into human shapes, a man and a woman were staring directly at him.

At the man’s feet was an oddly-shaped demon beast.

Quite eerie.

The grand monk’s mind raced swiftly, instantly grasping the key to the situation.

"Oh no, Master must have been captured by these demons!"

"Demons! Give me back my master!"

He jumped and rushed to the courtyard, trying to grab those two demons, but within a breath, the two Cat Demons stepped into a pitch-black hole and vanished.

Turning back, the old man became an old lady.

"Old man, did you see the people in the courtyard? Did you see my master?"

"Ah, what people, what master? Girl, what happened to you just now? Why did you turn into a demon?"

"What girl? What girl, I’m a monk!"

"Also, I ask you, old man, are you male or female?"

The big black monk was spinning around anxiously, completely at a loss.

Not waiting for the old man’s response, he tore through the shrine hall like a black whirlwind.

But didn’t find a shadow of his master.

Let alone Cat Demon or whatever hole.

Without a clue, the grand monk sat on the ground, looking at the luggage, then began to sigh.

"Perhaps I should just sell my luggage and return to the Buddhist sect."

"Just say my master died again."

"The head should not blame me..."

What Li did was a forceful array-breaking method, in the instant everyone entered the secret realm, the Taoist temple and the dream enveloping Cold City showed a slight loosening.

Although just for a moment.

But some sharp-minded cultivators still sensed a bit of anomaly.

In the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Madam, what’s wrong.", The Jade Heart Sect’s Third Elder asked with concern.

"It’s nothing, just thinking of Qiu’Er, I..."

Lady Han Yao covered her eyes with her hand, hiding her recent loss of composure.

"As expected! It turns out there’s a mishap here!"

Lady Han Yao now wanted to leave to verify her suspicions at Five Rams Slope.

But while thinking of a pretext, she saw Sword Hall Chief Lin Hai walking in from outside.

"Madam, my condolences, today I interrupt, I have something to ask."

Han Yao saw another person behind Lin Hai, it was the Beast Taming Sect disciple she met last night.

...

Over at the secret realm.

Li sat on the ground, holding the steel bar Zhang Ze had, with the other hand holding a ring, and several stone pills staring wide-eyed.

While Zhang Ze and Chen Qin were nowhere to be seen.

One of the stone pills emitted a buzzing sound.

"I don’t know, I thought you guys and that monk were from the Hundred Demons Sect..."

"So can you let them out?", Li asked.

"Mother is still unconscious, we can’t do it..."

Li looked at the Dragon Wood Sword Gall in her hand, swallowed, but finally suppressed the urge to divide the luggage and run.

"Wait, that kid is so sneaky, he should be fine."
