3039 Scheme

Upon closer examination, the radiant glow was revealed to be an intricate trap matrix woven from 128 jade talismans.

As the talisman matrix descended abruptly, lightning crackled within its confined space.

A thunderous “Boom!” resonated, harmonizing with the external lightning pouring down from the stormy skies. The lightning within the trap matrix sizzled and scattered, lashing out in all directions and striking the trio.

Mo Lian swiftly swept his sleeves, dispersing a surge of lightning, his expression darkening.

This small but complex matrix posed a considerable challenge. Under normal circumstances, the talisman energy within the matrix would have dissipated, and the lightning would have naturally vanished.

However, the current situation was different. The thunderclouds above the Spring River outside seemed to continuously replenish the trap matrix.

A troublesome development indeed!

The three of them exchanged bewildered glances. Mo Lian’s voice cut through the tension, “Come, gather your strength, and target a single point.”

Duan Yue and Mu Xingchen nodded in unison.

In this critical moment, Duan Yue set aside any urge to argue with Crown Prince Mo. In a swift motion, he advanced, conjuring a wave of sacred energy with a wave of his hand. Concurrently, Mo Lian directed his power toward a hovering jade talisman within the trap matrix.

With a resounding “Bang!” a portion of the jade talisman shattered, causing the entire matrix to tremble. It reorganized itself in a new pattern, circling once again. The process completed with an audible hum.

Mo Lian’s eyes flashed. “This talisman matrix possesses self-repairing capabilities.”

“Indeed,” affirmed Mu Xingchen. “Observe the talismanic energy within. The practitioner behind this matrix must be a formidable talisman master, surpassing the Mystic level.”

“I’ll employ the spiritual fire matrix to ensnare some of them. Both of you, exert your strength,” she declared, focusing on the task at hand.

Mo Lian acknowledged with a nod.

Mu Xingchen gestured, and more than ten fire spirit talismans soared through the air.

The fire spirit talismans seamlessly penetrated the jade talisman matrix, swiftly ensnaring several jade talismans.

In response, Mo Lian and Duan Yue advanced decisively. Demonic flames sprouted from their hands, converging into the fire spirit talisman matrix.

With a resounding blast, the jade talismans disintegrated into fine powder, dissipating into the air. The trap matrix succumbed to the quilt’s power once again.

However, the atmospheric lightning above intensified, unleashing a furious barrage of strikes.

“What’s the rush? Wouldn’t it be wiser to conserve some energy until the breakthrough?” Duan Yue gruffly remarked, securing a Dao defense around himself.

Observing Mo Lian, he noted the youth effortlessly deflecting all lightning strikes outside of the grade-one black fire, unaffected by the onslaught.

“Let’s move,” urged Mu Xingchen anxiously, producing a water-element spiritual tool and beckoning for the others to join.

As the spiritual tool submerged into the water, it transformed into a sizable carp.

Duan Yue and Mo Lian followed suit, and the spiritual tool propelled forward at high speed.

Although the underwater journey was slower than their aerial flight against the lightning storm, it proved more effective in navigating and avoiding obstacles amid the ongoing assault.

“Who’s scheming against us?” Duan Yue inquired, his brow furrowed.

The talisman matrix clearly anticipated Mo Lian’s presence. Had it not been for Mu Xingchen, a highly skilled talisman practitioner well-versed in matrix intricacies, he and Mo Lian might have found themselves ensnared in the array for an extended period.

Undoubtedly, the individual behind this formation knew that relying solely on the talisman matrix wouldn’t be sufficient to completely trap both Mo Lian and him. Such a notion was nothing short of delusional.
