Chapter 202 Capture
"Tch, don't think you can defeat me just because you've set up some kind of formation. I don't even care about your petty tricks. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep today, I'll save myself the trouble of searching. Take this!"
As he spoke, Bai Ke channeled his inner energy into his hands, using his spiritual sense to summon playing cards, and the Tai Chi mark on his palms became clearly visible.
As Bai Ke channeled his energy, a sudden gust of wind arose, causing the people from Tian Ce Palace, as well as Li Mu and his group, to be blown about and unable to open their eyes.
Bai Ke's robes rustled in the wind. But those people couldn't see the cold smile on Bai Ke's face.
He had completely transformed into another person, someone they didn't recognize at all, like a demon who had emerged from hell.
Bai Ke directly drew four cards, representing the four elements of "wind, water, fire, and earth." He then channeled half of his spiritual power into these four cards, catalyzing them and sending them hurtling unstoppably towards Li Mu's direction.
As soon as those four cards were played, the Zhou Tiandi Magnetic Elemental Array instantly vanished upon contact with them. Before Li Mu and his companions could even discern why the array had been broken, they were already surrounded by the four playing cards.
At this moment, the strong wind gradually subsided, and the people of Tian Ce Palace slowly saw the situation before them. Li Mu and his group were completely surrounded by four playing cards, each more than half a person's height, placed by Bai Ke.
No matter how much magic they used, they couldn't get past them. Bai Ke stood in front of them, quietly watching Li Mu and the others.
"Bai Ke! What kind of sorcery did you use to break my Earth Magnetic Elemental Array?!" Li Mu roared at Bai Ke with disbelief and anger.
"I told you, don't think you can defeat me just because you set up a random formation! My relationship with my magical artifacts doesn't rely on a master-servant relationship, so of course I'm not afraid of your so-called Yuanling Formation."
"You dare to show off your meager skills? You're truly fearless! Since you've come to me of your own accord, how could I refuse?"
"Ha! Bai Ke, don't forget, I am now the sixth prince of Mo Yun Kingdom. What can you do to me? You can only capture me and humiliate me, but you won't dare to kill me!"
"If you don't kill me today, I'll make sure you suffer a fate worse than death once I escape!" Li Mu sneered, looking at Bai Ke in front of him.
"Oh, so what if you're the sixth prince of Moyun Kingdom? You ambushed us on the way today, that's obvious to everyone. Even if I kill you, it would be perfectly reasonable, wouldn't it?"
"How dare you! This is a critical time for Tian Ce Palace. If you kill me, you will be making an enemy of my father. You are just a disciple of Tian Ce Palace. Aren't you afraid that killing me will cause future trouble for your palace?!"
"Heh, Yuandi, don't provoke me. The more you talk to me like that, the more I want to kill you. If you really anger me, I won't care about the consequences!"
Yes, I won't kill you now, but don't provoke me! Otherwise, I'll kill you right now, saving you the trouble of coming back to settle the score!
Looking at Bai Ke before him, Li Mu was completely intimidated by Bai Ke's aura. He didn't refute Bai Ke's words, because he knew that Bai Ke was truly capable of such a thing.
If he can keep his life, he still has a chance to turn things around, so he'd better not take that risk.
Seeing that Li Mu had been intimidated by him, Bai Ke remained expressionless, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The sixth prince, Yuan Di, is right; he couldn't possibly kill him. Before leaving Tian Ce Palace, the sect leader had instructed him not to commit any acts of killing, especially now that they were under the elders' noses.
It is currently the time for the selection of the Holy Son of Tian Ce. Being punished is a minor matter. If he misses the position of Holy Son because of this person, how will he complete the tasks given by the system, and how will he go back?
At worst, we can take him back to Tian Ce Palace and keep him under strict guard, while we remain vigilant. We can deal with him when necessary later; now is certainly not a good time.
Moreover, he had just broken the formation of the Sixth Prince Yuandi, which had consumed too much spiritual energy, leaving him weak.
That formation, created by whoever it was, was incredibly powerful. If it weren't for the formation's ability to prevent the connection between him and the playing cards, and his own ability to channel a large portion of his spiritual power, the disciples of Tian Ce Palace and that elder alone would have been in serious trouble!
Thinking of this, Bai Ke stopped looking at Li Mu and the others, turned around and cupped his hands to the elder, saying, "Elder, we have now captured the sixth prince of Moyun Kingdom."
This disciple believes that the Sixth Prince is very strange. He opposed our Tian Ce Palace and instigated ministers in the Mo Yun Kingdom. Now he has led men to ambush us on the way. Because of his special status, he cannot be treated as an ordinary person.
Therefore, this disciple believes it is best to tie him up first and take him back to Tian Ce Palace. Interrogate him thoroughly, report to the Sect Leader, and let the Sect Leader decide what to do!
"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. Let's do as you say and take this sixth prince to Tian Ce Palace to hand him over to the sect leader for punishment! You few, tie them up with the Immortal Binding Chains and keep a close watch on them along the way. Don't let them escape, or you'll be held responsible!"
"Yes!" the disciples who were called upon by the elder replied, and then walked towards Li Mu and the others.
The Immortal-Binding Chain—just from the name, you know it's no ordinary chain. Anyone bound by this chain, no matter how high their cultivation level, cannot break free and will lose all their magical power.
So, the group escorted Li Mu and his entourage, continuing their grand procession towards Tian Ce Palace. However, no one dared to leisurely admire the scenery anymore; they were all eager to get back to Tian Ce Palace as quickly as possible.
If something goes wrong along the way and they fail to keep an eye on the Sixth Prince and his companions, allowing them to escape, the consequences would be unbearable. It would be better to report back as soon as possible.
And so, after traveling all the way, the group finally found an inn to settle down in before dark – the Yuelai Inn.
When Bai Ke saw the name of the inn, he almost laughed. This Yuelai Inn really is a global chain; it's everywhere.
I remember reading in the past that netizens had summarized this. Whether in novels or TV series, the inn is usually called Yuelai Inn, while the red-light district, which is where men seek pleasure, is mostly called Yihong Courtyard.
"What, is this one name going to be used in every time and space?" Bai Ke couldn't help but find it quite amusing.
"Innkeeper, please arrange a few superior rooms for us, and prepare some food!" Bai Ke said to the innkeeper behind the counter as he led the way inside.
"Alright! Please wait a moment, esteemed guests. I must say, you are very lucky. Just at noon, a group of security escorts checked out, freeing up a few rooms. However, there aren't many rooms available, so if you decide to stay overnight, you may have to make do with what you have."
"It's alright, we're just staying for one night, and we need to set off early tomorrow morning. As long as there's food and vegetables and we can rest, that's fine, we don't ask for much else."
