Chapter 191 Night Sneak Peek
Bai Ke led his men out of the inn, and with a wave of his hand, he cast a simple illusion that erased their figures.
He made a point of learning some of these minor spells after returning from the world of Tian Long Ba Bu.
After all, although these techniques cannot compare to the legendary supernatural powers of the heavens and earth, and the three heads and six arms, they are still quite effective in certain situations.
For example, if Bai Ke were to sneak into the Sixth Prince's residence alone, then it wouldn't matter whether he concealed his presence or not.
But if you're bringing a group of fellow disciples, then you absolutely have to use a smokescreen; otherwise, it wouldn't be a night raid but an open intrusion.
The thought of himself leading a group of people, swiftly gliding across the rooftops of the capital city of Moyun Kingdom in full view of everyone, made Bai Ke burst out laughing.
Ever since he came out, Lin Xiu had been resentful about being assigned to guard the Sixth Prince's residence. When he saw Bai Ke chuckle, he was so angry that he almost twisted his nose out.
He thought Bai Ke was mocking his current predicament, and his anger was so intense that he wanted to kill the scoundrel in front of him with a sword.
Fortunately, Bai Ke knew what was important. After chuckling, he quickly regained his composure and continued leading his men toward the Sixth Prince's residence.
Lin Xiu followed behind, lamenting his own fate while secretly planning how to sneak into the Sixth Prince's residence with Bai Ke.
Hmph! Bai Ke had made a great impression in front of the King of Mo Yun Kingdom, while I, as a fellow training leader, was completely relegated to a supporting role. How could he tolerate this?
Having made up his mind to follow Bai Ke inside, Lin Xiu secretly smiled to himself as he tried to capture the charlatan sixth prince first. Then, he leaped up and followed the group far away.
The Sixth Prince's residence was not hard to find, especially after interrogating the elder of the Zhumo Yun Kingdom who coveted worldly pleasures and obtaining a map of the place.
Soon, Bai Ke led his men to the outside of the prince's residence, which was not very prosperous. After whispering a few instructions, Bai Ke leaped over the wall and flew inside.
The prince's residence was actually very secure, at least in the eyes of the people of Moyun Kingdom. The walls and gates were so high that unless one could fly, there was no way to sneak in unnoticed.
However, this was no challenge for Bai Ke. After landing lightly, Bai Ke discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
I originally thought that once I entered, there would be some kind of small river, lake, courtyard, pavilion, or terrace, since that's what the mansions of princes and nobles in TV dramas all look like.
But what's with all these ghost willows in front of him? Planting ghost willows in his own garden, does this sixth prince want to die even faster?
For the first time, Bai Ke felt that the plan was out of control. It seemed that this sixth prince really had some problems. As for whether he was the kind of person he thought he was, he would have to wait and see.
Just as Bai Ke was deep in thought, a white mist, seemingly appearing from nowhere, gradually spread among the ghost willows.
Under the moonlight, the branches of the ghost willow seemed to sway as if they were feeling something, as if they were cheering for new blood to feed on.
Light footsteps occasionally sounded behind Bai Ke, but without turning around, Bai Ke knew there was nothing there.
With a soft chuckle, a ball of fire gradually lit up Bai Ke's hand, illuminating his handsome, otherworldly face.
"How interesting! Isn't this a scene from a classic Chinese ghost movie? Could it be that I actually ran into one? What a coincidence..."
Putting everything else aside, the special effects are truly top-notch, so Bai Ke didn't directly try to break the strange magic array. Instead, he strode confidently into the Ghost Willow Forest.
The strange noises grew increasingly chaotic, as if they were surprised that someone so fearless could have entered.
The Ghost Willow's swaying branches swayed more and more frequently, and Bai Ke could even clearly feel an angry emotion lingering around them.
Bai Ke looked at the ghost willows in surprise, "I never expected that these ghost willows could undergo such changes under the nourishment of spiritual energy and resentment!"
The world is full of wonders; indeed, true knowledge comes from practice. The ancients were right. This ghost willow is growing so well, could there be a corpse buried underneath?
Before Bai Ke could even begin digging up the ghost willow in front of him, the corpse that had been buried sometime earlier had already wobbled out of the ground.
The reason for saying that it was buried at some unknown time is that these bodies were not all recently deceased; some were already quite decomposed, or were simply skeletons.
The stench of corpses filled the air. Bai Ke slightly covered his nose, frowned, and said, "Hey, aren't you being ungrateful... Aren't you afraid of offending others by letting this stuff out?"
The owner here has definitely been alerted. Bai Ke doesn't know where he gave himself away, but this magic array is definitely being manipulated by someone, which is why things have changed like this.
But regardless of whether this magic array is a killing array or a trapping array, it's not good to release corpses to disgust people, is it like releasing biological weapons?
The person manipulating the magic circle didn't speak; only the corpse that had just crawled out wobbled towards Bai Ke, creating a truly horrifying scene.
Bai Ke is now very glad that he forced Su Ziyuan and the others to stay outside; otherwise, if he had encountered this situation, his ears would have been ringing off the hook.
It is impolite not to reciprocate, and Bai Ke was not one to let others slap him in the face without fighting back. Seeing that the other person remained silent, he also became somewhat angry.
Bai Ke didn't want to use his precious playing cards; if they got stained with corpse oil or something, the image... he couldn't bear to imagine it, it was just too disgusting.
With a flick of his right palm, a thick fire dragon rushed towards the corpses. Once the magic array was activated, all sounds and noises inside were completely sealed within it.
Therefore, Bai Ke is not worried about what kind of commotion his Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms will cause. In fact, in terms of the fighting scene, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is superior.
Having your own playing cards is convenient, but unfortunately, everything is done in a flash or something like the previous water and fire collision and explosion, which is still a bit weak compared to the Golden Dragon of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
With a palm strike, Mu Zixuan retreated hastily without thinking, and then a loud bang was heard, and a broken arm bone fell in front of Bai Ke.
After clicking his tongue in admiration a few times, Bai Ke slowly walked back to his original spot. Under the impact of the golden dragon, this place had become a charred hole, and the corpses there were truly dead beyond any doubt.
Disgusted by the sight of short limbs and mangled flesh, Bai Ke lost all interest in appreciating the rare Ghost Willow Forest. He channeled his spiritual energy into his third eye and followed the base of the magic array outwards.
