Chapter 149: The trap is broken and the precious light appears, but the enemy's plan is still d
"Boom——"
A blinding light erupted from the core of the mechanism, and the entire hall shook violently, as if a dragon had turned over. The boulders overhead crumbled, sending plumes of dust tumbling down. But everyone's gaze was drawn to the ancient palace gate, which slowly opened. They held their breath, not daring to blink.
A dazzling beam of light shot out from the crack in the door, illuminating the entire dim hall. Everyone subconsciously squinted their eyes to block out the almost blinding light.
"Treasure! It's a treasure!" Someone couldn't contain his excitement and shouted out loudly.
The precious light dissipated, and everyone finally got a clear view of the palace. It was a small room, with a treasure suspended in the center, emitting a soft light.
It was a crystal-clear jade pendant, of a simple, ancient shape, intricately carved with patterns. A faint phoenix, wings spread, ready to take flight, could be seen. A faint halo surrounded the jade pendant, emitting powerful, heart-pounding spiritual energy.
"It's the Fengming Jade Pendant!" Saint Lingxin exclaimed in disbelief. "The legendary artifact that can achieve nirvana and rebirth actually exists!"
Lei Yi was also shocked by the scene before him, but a sense of unease rose in his heart. The spiritual power emanating from this jade pendant was too powerful, and he was afraid that it would lead to greater competition and even bring unpredictable dangers.
"Liuli, be careful!" Lei Yi grabbed Dongfang Liuli's hand and protected her behind him.
Dongfang Liuli felt the warmth of Lei Yi's palm, and her heart warmed. She held his hand with her backhand and nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
At this moment, a powerful pressure descended again. Young Master Dark Night slowly stood up from the ground, with a hint of sneer on his lips, staring greedily at the Fengming jade pendant.
"Humph, I didn't expect there would be such a treasure in this ancient city!" Young Master Dark Night licked his lips, his eyes flashing with greed. "It seems that I have come to the right place this time!"
He turned to look at the Mechanical Master beside him and ordered in a cold tone, "Go, bring me that jade pendant!"
The master of mechanisms hesitated for a moment, feeling a little timid as he looked at the jade pendant that exuded a powerful aura.
"What? You dare to disobey my orders?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Young Master Dark Night's eyes.
The Master of Machinery shuddered, not daring to hesitate any longer, and walked towards the palace headfirst...
The Master of Machinery approached the palace with trepidation, each step weighing heavily on his shoulders. The palace was completely silent, save for the soft glow of the phoenix jade pendant suspended in mid-air, which illuminated the surrounding walls, where the ancient murals seemed to tell stories from long ago.
Seeing him hesitate, Young Master Dark Night urged him impatiently, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
The master of machinery was startled by his voice, and quickly quickened his pace, reaching out to grab the jade pendant.
"Stop!" Seeing this, Lei Yi shouted, and his figure flashed, standing in front of the master of mechanism.
"What do you want to do?" Young Master Dark Night's face darkened, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"This treasure is not something you can touch!" Lei Yi looked at him fearlessly with a firm tone.
Young Master Dark Night sneered and said, "Just you? You don't know your own limitations!"
Before he finished speaking, several of his men rushed forward and surrounded Lei Yi.
Lei Yi didn't dare to be careless and immediately mobilized his spiritual power, preparing to fight. However, at this moment, a strange power suddenly emanated from the Fengming jade pendant, instantly enveloping his entire body.
Lei Yi only felt a sharp pain in his head, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the spiritual power in his body seemed to be frozen and could not be mobilized at all.
"What's going on?" Lei Yi was horrified and tried desperately to resist this force, but to no avail.
Seeing this, Young Master Dark Night showed a smug smile on his face.
"Hmph, you presumptuous thing, how dare you fight me!" Young Master Dark Night said, stepping towards Lei Yi, his eyes full of greed. "Now, let me see what secrets are hidden in this body of yours!"
Just as Young Master Dark Night was about to touch Lei Yi, Dongfang Liuli suddenly felt something strange. She turned to look at Lei Yi, only to find that his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his body was shaking, as if he was in great pain.
"Lei Yi, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Liuli was shocked and hurried to his side, reaching out to support him.
However, just as her hand was about to touch Lei Yi, an invisible force pushed her away.
"Liuli, be careful!" Lei Yi suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with pain and struggle. He wanted to reach out to pull Dongfang Liuli, but found that he could not move at all. "Get out of here quickly..."
His voice was intermittent, as if he was trying his best to fight against something. Dongfang Liuli's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came over him.
"No, I won't leave!" Dongfang Liuli shook her head firmly. She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Lei Yi again, but found that her consciousness began to become blurred, and everything in front of her became blurry.
"Who... are you? Don't... come near me..." Dongfang Liuli's tone was filled with fear and confusion. She desperately wanted to see the person in front of her clearly, but she found that the familiar face was gradually distorted...
Dongfang Liuli's voice was intermittent, as if she were struggling in a nightmare. She struggled to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. Lei Yi's pained expression flickered before her eyes, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, until it transformed into a strange shadow, reaching out greedily towards her.
"No! Don't come over here!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed and wanted to retreat, but found that she was bound by an invisible force and could not move.
"Liuli! Liuli!" Lei Yi's voice seemed to come from the distant sky, ethereal, but with a hint of anxiety and worry.
Saint Lingxin had been watching the fight from afar. Seeing Dongfang Liuli suddenly lose control, she was startled, secretly thinking it was bad news. She waved the Jade Ruyi in her hand, and streams of white light shot like meteors at Young Master Dark Night's men, temporarily forcing them back. Then she quickly reached Dongfang Liuli's side.
"Miss Liuli, wake up! Don't be controlled by this power!" The voice of Saint Lingxin flowed into Dongfang Liuli's ears like a clear spring, making her chaotic consciousness slightly clearer.
"Saint… I…" Dongfang Liuli tried to speak, but found her voice hoarse, unable to utter even simple words. Her vision was blurry, and she could only vaguely see the anxious expression of Saint Lingxin.
Saint Lingxin reached out to touch Dongfang Liuli's forehead, but felt a strong resistance, as if an invisible barrier was isolating her. She gritted her teeth and poured spiritual power into her palms, trying to force her way through the barrier.
"Ah!" Dongfang Liuli let out a painful groan, and her body trembled violently, as if she was suffering from great torture.
"Liuli! Hold on! I will save you!" Lei Yi's voice came again, this time much clearer and more determined.
Dongfang Liuli silently chanted Lei Yi's name in her heart, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She tried hard to break free from the power that controlled her, wanted to open her eyes and see everything clearly, and wanted to return to Lei Yi's side.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from the Saint's forehead, and her face turned pale. She had tried her best, but still couldn't completely dispel the mysterious power.
At this moment, Young Master Dark Night suddenly let out a wild laugh. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, he flashed and rushed towards the Fengming Jade Pendant floating in the air at an astonishing speed!
"Haha! The treasure is mine!" There was a greedy light in Young Master Dark Night's eyes, and he reached out to grab the jade pendant.
"No!" Lei Yi roared, his eyes bloodshot. Driven by Dongfang Liuli's call and his own will to survive, he finally broke free from the mysterious power and regained some mobility.
Young Master Dark Night's hand was about to touch the Fengming Jade Pendant, at this critical moment...
Lei Yi roared, his body shooting out like an arrow, directly towards Young Master Dark Night. His current state was very strange. Although his body had not yet fully recovered, a powerful force surged from the depths of his soul, propelling him forward.
Young Master Dark Night was clearly startled by Lei Yi's sudden outburst. A flicker of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by greed. Seeing the Phoenix Jade Pendant so close, he ignored Lei Yi and instead channeled all his spiritual energy into his right hand, grabbing for it.
"Don't even think about it!" Lei Yi roared in anger, filled with determination. He stretched out his hand with all his might, trying to grab the Dark Night Master. The distance between the two was only a few feet, but it felt like a thousand mountains and rivers separated them.
Just when Young Master Dark Night's fingers were about to touch the jade pendant, something strange happened!
The Phoenix Jade Pendant, which had been floating peacefully, suddenly shone brightly. A dazzling white light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire space like daylight. A powerful surge of spiritual energy swept over like a tsunami, knocking the unprepared Young Master Dark Night back several steps.
"What's going on?" Young Master Dark Night looked at the scene in front of him in surprise and confusion, not understanding why the jade pendant had such a big reaction.
At the same time, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, who were shrouded in white light, felt a warm force enveloping them. The mysterious force that originally bound them melted like ice and snow in front of this force.
"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli finally regained control of her body. She opened her eyes and saw Lei Yi shrouded in white light at first sight. Her heart was immediately filled with joy and worry.
"I'm fine." Lei Yi turned to look at Dongfang Liuli, giving her a reassuring smile, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
However, before they could figure out what was going on, the Fengming jade pendant suddenly trembled violently, and the white light began to flicker, as if it would go out at any time.
"Oh no! This force is too strong, it's going to get out of control!" Saint Lingxin exclaimed, her face turning very ugly.
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears: "Who is it? Who woke me up?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little boy wearing a red bellyband and a ponytail. He looked delicate and elegant and had appeared next to the Fengming jade pendant. He was standing with his hands on his hips, glaring at everyone with an unhappy look on his face, as if he was very angry at being disturbed from sleeping.
"You... who are you?" Young Master Dark Night looked at the little boy who suddenly appeared in front of him, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
The little boy glanced at Young Master Dark Night and curled his lips in disdain: "Who are you? How dare you disturb my sleep? You are really tired of living!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy stretched out his chubby little hand and waved it gently...
