Under the cold moonlight, someone was playing a flute. The melodious and sorrowful tone flowed, making it seem even more sorrowful in this quiet environment.
Fu Chen, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the sound of the flute. He looked out the window and saw a person standing under a big tree on the cliff in the distance. He could not see who it was. Helplessly, Fu Chen lay down and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.
However, the sound of the flute beside his ear made him unable to wake up.
"Annoying? Can't you let me sleep at night? Are you trying to attract wolves?" Fu Chen finally couldn't hold it in anymore, he leaned against the window and cursed.
The flute stopped abruptly. Floating Dawn let out a long sigh and lay back on the bed to continue sleeping.
Not long after, the door was kicked open. It was Tianming and Shaoyu, followed by a smiling Gao Yue.
" Scram, I'm sleeping. I don't have time for you guys." Fu Chen turned around and continued sleeping.
" Get up and go out to play. I can't sleep." Tianming jumped onto Fu Chen's bed and grabbed Fu Chen's clothes to pull him up.
"You guys go play. I'm sleepy, I'm not going!”Fu Chen kicked Tian Ming off the bed.
"There are enemies outside the City of Traps. How can you still sleep?”Shaoyu pulled up Tianming, who was sprawled on the ground.
"Didn't Big Iron Hammer lead a few disciples out? "What's there to worry about? There are plenty of experts." Floating Dawn knew that in the afternoon, the disciples patrolling the mountain had reported that there seemed to be enemies in the outer perimeter. Big Hammer had led a few disciples out to investigate that night and had not returned until now.
" A few commanders are currently discussing. Of course, Mister Ge Nie and Master Fan are also there. They won't let us participate. Since we're bored, we'll ask you to take a look around the City of Traps," Shaoyu continued to explain.
" I just fell asleep and was woken up by a flute player. I'm sleepy now and don't have time to play with you guys. You guys go ahead…" Floating Dawn yawned as he spoke.
" Big Brother Fu Chen, it was Big Sister Snow Maiden who blew the flute just now. You're in big trouble…" Gao Yue said with a gloating smile.
"What?" Fu Chen's sleepiness was instantly gone as he sat up,"Didn't you say that the commanders were discussing? Why did she come out to play?"
" Big Sister Snow Girl was worried about the big iron hammer, so she came out to calm down, but in the end…" Gao Yue looked as if she was going to be in trouble this time.
" It's over." Floating Dawn looked like he had lost his parents.
"You can't sleep, can you?" "Let's go out and play."”
This time, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to. Fu Chen had no choice but to get up and follow the three people out. The City of Traps was on alert. Countless disciples with torches patrolled back and forth on the various passages.
Shaoyu suggested going to Teacher Xu's Sword Crafting Pool to take a look. With Floating Dawn and Tianming's support, Gao Yue brought four people to Teacher Xu's Sword Crafting Pool.
After entering, the first thing Floating Dawn felt was heat. It was obvious that it was volcanic lava in front of him. Old Man Xu was quite powerful. He actually used the power of earth fire to forge a sword. Floating Dawn looked at the various swords hanging in the air and could not help but sigh.
"Do you know what the number one sword in the sword manual is?”Shaoyu proudly asked Tianming.
" Isn't it just your Chu Country's Tianwen? What's there to be proud of?" Fu Chen rolled his eyes at Shaoyu.
" I think I've seen it before," Tianming suddenly said, a little stunned.
"Stop bragging, have you seen Tianwen? "I've never seen it before," Shaoyu said disdainfully.
" I've really seen it," Tianming retorted without raising his head. His body was trembling.
"What's wrong?" Fu Chen looked at Tian Ming, only to see a faint black aura emitting from his body. His entire body trembled, and his expression was ferocious. He was in extreme pain.
"Hey, kid!" Fu Chen supported Tian Ming who was about to fall, only to hear Tian Ming muttering,"Xianyang Palace, Tianwen…"
" Don't think about it, Tianming, don't think about it." Gao Yue turned pale with fright. Her hands turned into palms and pressed against Tianming's back to heal him.
The black gas became heavier and heavier. Gao Yue's smiling face was pale, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Fu Chen and Shaoyu were so anxious that they spun around on the ground, but they were helpless.
At this moment, a pair of white hands appeared behind Gao Yue. The faint yellow halo on the palms flickered and slowly suppressed the black gas. The painful expression on Tianming's face slowly disappeared, and he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
" Sister Rong, I'm not strong enough to save Tianming," Gao Yue said weakly as she fell into the arms of the person.
" Yue 'er has done very well." Duanmu Rong wiped the sweat off Gao Yue's forehead, her face full of pity.
"Miss Rong, what is Tianming doing?" Shaoyu asked Duanmu Rong with a worried expression.
" The Slumber Sealing Curse has taken effect. If it wasn't for Yue 'er suppressing it, I'm afraid my life would have been in danger." Duanmu Rong looked at Tianming who had fallen to the ground with a worried expression.
" No, this can't go on. I have to settle this as soon as possible." For the first time, Floating Dawn felt frustrated. After coming to this world, Tianming was already his brother. Seeing him in so much pain, Floating Dawn had the urge to kill him.
Duanmu Rong seemed to blame herself a little and said,""If we can't find the person who placed the curse, then only the Daoist Beiming Zi should be able to break the curse.”
" It seems that I have to find this Taoist senior." Fu Chen had a plan in his heart. He asked Shaosi Ming. If he could find out the person who cast the curse, it would be better if she could let Tianming touch the curse. If not, he could only find Beiming Zi of the Taoist Heaven Sect.
The Yin-Yang School was born out of Taoism. Fu Chen knew that what Duanmu Rong said was most likely true. That person called Beiming Zi should have a way to solve it.
Shaoyu carried Tianming and Duanmu Rong carried Gao Yue as they left the Sword Crafting Pool.
On the way, he met a Mo disciple who had escaped back to report that Big Iron Hammer was fighting the enemy and that the person who came was Reverse Flow Sand's Stealth Bat.
Xiao Gao and the snow maidens had already gone to provide support. The people in the City of Traps were uneasy. Everyone was on tenterhooks, waiting for further news.
After Fu Chen and Shaoyu settled Tianming down, they went to the meeting hall. Xiao Gao and the snow maidens had already returned. There were several deep claw marks on Big Hammer's body, and the blood that flowed out was black. It was obvious that he had been poisoned. Duanmu Rong was currently detoxifying Big Hammer and sewing up his wounds.
Everyone glanced at the two brothers who came in, but no one paid attention to them. They continued to talk about the current situation. Through Little Gao's explanation and analysis, Floating Dawn roughly understood the situation.
Wei Zhuang had led the Quicksand Organization and the Gongshu family to attack the City of Traps. He had thought that it was because of Ge Nia, but when he saw that there were also people from the Yinyang School, he determined that Boss Qin wanted to destroy the City of Traps. However, it was a rare sight that there were no soldiers from the empire. This was a little unexpected.
"Xiao Zhuang's target should only be me. His original intention of establishing Quicksand was to oppose Qin. He didn't inform the Empire because he wanted to retain his power against Qin. After all, the Mo Family is the main force against Qin. "So this time, I've implicated everyone," Ge Nia said calmly after listening to Xiao Gao's analysis."However, the Yin-Yang school and the Gongshu family should have different motives.”
" With just Quicksand and the Yin-Yang School, they want to break through my City of Traps? They're delusional." Master Ban's white beard curled up, looking very comical."Activate the white tiger and bury as many as you can!”
" The Stealth Bat is heavily injured and has temporarily retreated. I wonder how Wei Zhuang will enter my City of Traps." Xiao Gao frowned as he looked at Floating Dawn, who was standing at the door.
"Why are you looking at me?" Fu Chen wasn't happy,"I didn't attract it."”
"Brat, what did you say?" The snow maidens looked at Floating Dawn with a smile on their faces, not a hint of happiness in their tone.
"Uh…" The Floater quickly changed his words." Defense is fine too, but I think the best defense is offense. Let's go out and fight them. It'll be fine as long as we beat them away. We can't just blindly defend. After all, the enemy is in the dark while we're in the light. We're at a disadvantage..."
" That's right, young hero, you have a point," Fan Zeng suddenly said,""Quicksand only has a few assassins. We have the experts of the Mo Family, Mister Ge Nia, and Young Hero Fu Chen. But…"
" Mr. Fan, it doesn't matter if you're straightforward." Xiao Gao made an inviting gesture.
" I'm afraid we can't stay in the City of Traps any longer. Everyone has to move. Quicksand and the Yin-Yang School have discovered the City of Traps. If they can't break through it this time, they will definitely bring their soldiers to encircle and annihilate it next time. Before there are any casualties, I suggest we move. It doesn't matter if we lose a stronghold. These people are the most precious.”Fan Zeng paused for a moment before he finished his thoughts. Everyone fell silent.
" Old man, you're quite impressive." Fu Chen was very unhappy. He had thought of it first, so why was this old man in a hurry to say it?
" Young hero, you're too kind. You thought of this first," Fan Zeng seemed to know that the Floater was unhappy, so he immediately smiled and said.
" We have to do this quickly, or we won't be able to move in time." Ge Nia seemed to have thought of something.
"Little Zhi," Xiao Gao pondered for a moment and decided,""Go find the tycoon and explain the situation and Mr. Fan's suggestion. Ask him to return to the City of Traps as soon as possible to make a decision.”
" Fu Chen, go with Robber Zhi," Ge Nie said as he looked at Fu Chen.
"Why?" Fu Chen was pulled out from his depression by Ge Nie's words. Thief Zhi also looked at Ge Nia in confusion.
" We will deal with Reverse Flow Sand and the Yin-Yang School, but if Thief Zhi encounters Reverse Flow Sand and the Yin-Yang School, he won't be able to report it, so..." Fan Zeng's face was expressionless.
"So I'm the one who lured the enemy away?”Fu Chen understood that he would be a target if he went out. He was unhappy."No, it's too dangerous."
" Fu Chen, your Poem Sword is very powerful. It's not a problem for you to protect yourself. You can stall the enemy and let Thief Zhi report. This way, you can save the City of Traps," Duanmu Rong said as she wiped her sweat.
" Save my ass. I don't want to shoulder such a huge responsibility." Floating Dawn still had an unhappy expression.
" If you go, I'll forgive you for your previous actions." The snow maiden giggled as she looked at Fu Chen."Otherwise…"
"Alright, I'll go!" Fu Chen raised his hands in agreement. This woman was too terrifying.
" Kid, don't drag me down." Thief Zhi smiled and slapped Fu Chen's back.
"Tsk-" Fu Chen curled his lips in disdain and said to Old Man Xu,""Give me a sword for self-defense!"
Teacher Xu didn't say a word. He took a sword from the Mo disciple standing behind him and threw it to Fu Chen. Seeing Fu Chen's unwillingness, he said,"I gave you a good sword to waste, but this one will do!”
Everyone laughed.
" Shaoyu, look after Tianming with Yue 'er. We'll go out and meet Quicksand," Duanmu Rong said to Shaoyu.
" Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them." Shao Yu patted his chest and promised.
" Old Man Ban, Mr. Xiang Liang, and Mr. Fan, I'll be guarding the City of Traps," Teacher Xu said with a smile as he looked at the depressed Fu Chen.
" The rest of the disciples of the Mo Family, seal the important items in the City of Traps and pack up whatever you can. I think the giant will agree to our plan," Xiao Gao ordered, and the disciples of the Mo Family retreated.
"Shall we take the machine-operated bird out?" Fu Chen raised his sword and asked Thief Zhi beside him.
" No, firstly, it's night, secondly, there's no wind, and lastly, I don't know how to operate it."Of course, I'll use my Divine Steps."
" That won't do. I won't." Fu Chen shook his head. Run? He would die of exhaustion.
"I'll carry you!" Thief Zhi said.
"I won't let a man carry it. I have a way!”Fu Chen blinked and said,"Definitely faster than you!"”
"What is it?" Thief Zhi was curious. The others who had heard their conversation looked at Fu Chen curiously, including Ge Nie. They didn't understand what could be faster than Thief Zhi's Divine Steps!
" Of course we'll fly." Floating Dawn laughed as he walked out of the meeting hall. When he arrived at the corridor, a bunch of people followed him out to see how Floating Dawn would fly.
"Flying Sword Technique Floating Clouds, All the Dukes Come From the West!”Fu Chen let out a long cry. The iron sword in his hand flashed with a brilliant light. Fu Chen jumped onto the sword and became one with the sword. Like a sword immortal under the moon, he disappeared into the night sky with a whoosh.
While everyone was dumbfounded, a faint shout came from the sky."F * ck…Where should I fly to? I don't know where…"
