He Lan Tianxia

Chapter 251 Barrier Blocks the Weakness of the Mechanism

How could a white-haired woman possess such astonishing speed? Murong Junlan was puzzled, as his own reaction abilities weren't particularly poor.

His Yan'er disappeared right under his nose once again. He increasingly felt that the treasure hunt was not as easy as the battlefield with thousands of troops. This road was full of deceit, open and covert battles, and it was impossible to guard against anything. If he was not careful, he would fall into a trap that was as small as a pinhole, making him feel powerless.

In Murong Junlan's eyes, this is a different kind of martial arts world.

Where did they all go? They just turned around and disappeared without a trace, leaving only that oblivious old pine tree spirit lying lifeless on the ground.

Murong Junlan suddenly felt a surge of anger. He flicked his finger in mid-air, and sure enough, the old pine tree spirit, which was lying on the ground, stood up abruptly.

The old pine tree spirit shook its head, its eyes still sleepy as if it had just woken up. It looked at Murong Junlan with a bewildered expression, then looked around at everything, a look of surprise on its face. It asked:

"Your Highness, where are they?"

"I was just about to ask you that! Hurry up and find it. If you can't find it, I'll chop you up." Murong Junlan was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger. Hitting him like this was even more infuriating than hitting cotton.

"Oh, there's something to do, isn't there? Great! It's so wonderful to be needed." The old tree spirit jumped up immediately. Drilling and burrowing were its forte, and it was more than happy to do them. Under Murong Junlan's disapproving gaze, the old tree spirit happily began to work.

After searching for a long time without finding anything, the old tree spirit was so nervous that sweat beaded on its forehead. It didn't even dare to lift its head, fearing that Prince Murong would be tempted to smash it into mud.

"Impossible! How could it not fit?" The old pine tree spirit scratched the little guy's big eyes, making them roll around several times, before cautiously uttering two words:

"Your Highness, there seems to be a barrier here."

"A barrier?" Murong Junlan stood up abruptly. "Could it be that it wasn't the white-haired woman's doing, but rather the Pavilion Master's doing?"

Murong Junlan tried to break the barrier several times using the method of lifting the restriction, but to no avail. It seemed that this barrier was no ordinary barrier, but an ancient one? Murong Junlan then recalled the words and deeds of the Pavilion Master and his attire, which seemed to be a little different from others. Thinking of the white-haired woman, Murong Dubai, Cangying, Lingyi, the mischievous monkey, and the old tree spirit, they all seemed to have a secret that no one knew. Only he and his Yan'er seemed normal. Oh, and Luo Xie and his sister were normal too.

Murong Junlan crouched down and saw a few remaining snow lotus flowers on the ground. He casually picked one up, sniffed it, and found nothing wrong except that the scent had faded. Then he walked to the cave wall where the octopus fireball guard and the pavilion master were and knocked on it. The deep, solid echo indicated that it was not empty inside.

How do I open it? Murong Junlan studied it for a while but couldn't find a way to open it.

"Old man, come here." Murong Junlan beckoned to the tree spirit old man. "Look, this flower is sprouting from a crack in the rock. Don't you think we might make some new discoveries by following this flower?"

The old tree spirit came over excitedly, stared intently for a while, then pressed his face against the stone to listen for a bit, before confidently telling Murong Junlan about a new discovery.

"Your Highness, it's so cool and comfortable inside..."

Murong Junlan interrupted the tree spirit, his face immediately tense. He instructed the old tree spirit to do everything in his power to open the cave. If he wasn't mistaken, besides the octopus, the fireball guards, and the sect leader, there was a high probability that the white-haired woman and his Yan'er were also inside. If that woman was inside, none of those people would be a match for her. Murong Junlan couldn't imagine what a terrifying situation it would be like inside.

"Get out of the way." Murong Junlan even threw the old tree spirit aside, and then he struck at the withered ice lotus.
