HCB Chapter 388: Escape
Chapter 388: Escape
Bai Lan nodded slightly when he heard this: "That makes sense. When I was collecting your souls, I spent a lot of effort to convince you to voluntarily offer your life souls, and only then was this possible."
Mr. Fu was silent.
Bai Lan sighed: "If this forbidden spell can really take away someone's personal freedom without anyone noticing, and there are no restrictions? Isn't it too unfair!"
"It seems that we are always the ones who are unfair." Old Fu sneered.
"The way of heaven is unfair. You are stuck in the quagmire and unaware of it. I have no choice but to help you escape from the sea of suffering and return to the right path."
Fu Lao frowned: "You are the righteous one? Do you believe this yourself?"
"As long as I can achieve enlightenment and ascend, I will be on the right path." Bai Lan said confidently.
"What a winner, loser. You said that as if you were once an emperor." Old Fu shook his head and sighed, "Let's not talk about this. Lin Ruoshui is now being held hostage by her master. If you want to... well."
Elder Fu paused, pondered for a long while, and then spoke: "If you want to 'pull her out of the quagmire' and collect her soul, I'm afraid you have to get past Elder Yue first, otherwise this chess piece will not be useful."
Bai Lan thought for a second, and then suddenly reloaded the save file and went back to the time before he met Elder Yue.
This time, Bai Lan stopped Elder Fu before he could erase the forbidden spell that Elder Yue had placed on him.
"Master Fu, Elder Yue has cast a forbidden spell on me. Please do not move this restriction for now." Bai Lan spoke secretly.
Elder Fu was confused and shocked: "How did you know! Wait, how did you know that I was going to erase this mark?"
It was no surprise to Old Fu that Bai Lan could use her Jindan consciousness to see through the restrictions set up by Yuanying cultivators, but why could she predict his actions again!
Damn it!
Bai Lan said nothing, just looking at Elder Yue in front of him who had an indifferent expression and didn't pay any attention to him at all.
Just now I felt that the other party had an aura of great power and was extremely majestic, but now I just want to laugh.
Although he seemed to be ignoring me on the surface, he secretly used his spiritual power to cast a forbidden spell on me.
What a great Yuanying powerhouse who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
Perhaps the only good news is that Elder Yue, who is dressed so simply and majestically, has been ruled out by Bai Lan as a potential concubine of Long Aotian.
After watching the master and disciple leave once again, Bai Lan went to see True Lord Suiyun with the extra forbidden spell on him, with red eyes and a hoarse voice.
Zhenjun Suiyun's residence is the conspicuous hall in the distance. For some reason, the residence she arranged for Bai Lan in Qianlongyuan is also there.
She knew clearly that Bai Lan would not live there, let alone practice peacefully in the place she arranged, but she still sent people to make some fancy arrangements.
"Foster mother! Foster mother!" Bai Lan staggered into the hall, looking at True Lord Suiyun who was practicing with his eyes closed in the distance, and choked up: "My life is over!"
True Lord Suiyun was shocked by Bai Lan's movement.
She opened her eyes in surprise, looked Bai Lan up and down, and asked doubtfully: "Are there any Divine Transformation cultivators attacking us?"
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Bai Lan was really panicking or just pretending.
"She is not a Divine Transformation cultivator, but that person is too powerful. Even my stepmother may not be her opponent." Bai Lan said with sorrow: "Stepmother, please run for your life quickly. That person has cast a forbidden spell on me. Stepmother can still escape with her life, but I am afraid I can't escape..."
When True Lord Suiyun heard the three words "Forbidden God Curse", his expression suddenly understood, and the next moment his face turned dark: "That woman Yueyi actually cast a Forbidden God Curse on you?"
"Not only that! She also said that my stepmother's cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage was only achieved by relying on the resources supplied by the Tianji Pavilion. She is just a paper tiger. If she takes action, the owner of the Tianji Pavilion will change tomorrow." Bai Lan turned sideways to wipe away her tears.
Seeing that True Lord Suiyun had a gloomy expression and remained silent for a long time, Bai Lan added another sentence.
"This terrifying ability to place a forbidden spell on a cultivator without anyone noticing is truly terrifying! She must have already secretly placed a forbidden spell on all the cultivators in the Tianji Pavilion. In this way, the entire Tianji Pavilion is probably already in her possession!"
Although after Master Fu's explanation, Bai Lan knew that the Forbidden God Spell had limitations.
But as a foundation-building cultivator, she knew too much, which aroused suspicion.
It's fine to just know about this rare magical power that only Nascent Soul cultivators can display, but if you know it in too much detail, it would sound a bit fake.
Ever since he had his fortune told by Master Suiyun, Bai Lan decided to act with caution in front of her.
Remember three things not to do: don't load the save file, don't show off, and don't know anything when asked.
"Mom, are you frightened by this news? As long as there is life, there is hope!"
When True Lord Suiyun heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He tried to raise his sleeves to wipe Bai Lan's tears, but found that she was not crying at all.
"It's really scary. I didn't expect Lan'er to care so much about her stepmother. At such a critical moment, you didn't fear the danger and came to tell me this." True Lord Suiyun said with emotion: "Don't worry, no matter what, your stepmother will take you with her."
Hmm? Let's go together?
No, you really plan to leave.
Bai Lan was silent, his brows furrowed.
She was just playing with abstraction and using exaggerated words to describe it. Her original intention was to let True Lord Suiyun quickly go and deal with Elder Yue so that she could kidnap his disciple.
But she never thought that when she suggested running away, True Lord Suiyun would actually run away!
A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage has no respect at all?
"Why isn't Lan talking anymore? Or is it that you can't continue acting?" Sui Yun said with a smile.
Bai Lan wiped away the tears that had not yet formed in the corners of her eyes, and her complexion immediately returned to normal: "So, how does my stepmother plan to deal with this person? Someone cast a forbidden spell on me for no reason. This Elder Yue is really too arrogant."
