The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 781: Fragrance
Relying on the two innate spells of "Cold Light of the Blue Sun" and "Fire Lotus of the Red Moon" that had been integrated into the ban in advance, Zhao Chen sneaked in the form of a "shadow" and quickly moved through Mengxi Garden. After a while, he returned to the backyard he had arrived at during the day.

"Mr. Lingyun", who was sitting in the center of the formation in the main hall, was unaware of this and continued to sit cross-legged on the cushion reading a book.

However, Zhao Chen, who quietly entered the backyard, lay in ambush and did not take any further action.

After all, "Cold Light of the Blue Sun" and "Fire Lotus of the Red Moon" are just spells. Even after obtaining the "vitality" of the empress, these two innate spells have undergone a certain degree of changes and their power has greatly increased. It is still impossible to break the formation of almost "Dongxuan" level without alerting "Mr. Lingyun".

Even with the special ability bonuses brought by Zhao Chen's "Investigator" and "Collector" positions, it is impossible!
The reason why Zhao Chen was waiting here was because he knew that King Liang's concubine Yan would most likely come over tonight. With her as the lead, he could take advantage of the situation.

So, after roughly sensing the three places with strict restrictions discovered during the day, Zhao Chen immersed himself in the "shadow" magical power he "bought" from Zhong Ying and began to recuperate.

"I hope I can gain something tonight, so that I can make it worthwhile to turn down the teaching appointment with the Queen... Well, if time goes on for a little longer, I might have to turn down the appointment with the Imperial Concubine in the second half of the night..."

Fortunately, Zhao Chen didn't have to wait long. Just as his thoughts were flying, a faint and imperceptible fragrance floated from somewhere and invaded his nose.

Zhao Chen was a little intoxicated at first, but the vital energy containing the meaning of "death" left by the Queen in his body circulated on its own, making him sober all of a sudden.

"Is this... some kind of 'hypnosis' effect? ​​And it's of quite a high level, it actually broke through the protection of my mind that comes with the 'Lianwei'. If I hadn't stimulated the Empress's vitality, I'm afraid I would have to separate my mind and enter the 'Xingcha' to get rid of it..."

While his mind was turning, Zhao Chen had already circulated the "Five Immortals' Spiritual Qi" in his inner world for a cycle, thus completely eliminating the influence of the faint fragrance.

Since the great magical power of "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the Truth" is one of the foundations of one's own body, when one circulates the "Spiritual Qi of the Five Immortals", in addition to the "Taichu True Meaning", it will naturally bring the effects of the two innate magic spells of "Five Directions Demon-Eliminating Divine Spell" and "Five Emperors' Spiritual Sound to Control Demons", which can cleanse external demons and return to the original state.

If Zhao Chen was bewitched by the "fragrance", he might not be able to do it so thoroughly, but when he was in a "awake" state, he could illuminate his own inner world and eliminate the invading demons one by one.

After getting rid of the influence of the "Phantom Fragrance", Zhao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he secretly thought, "I'm afraid that Yan Ruyu is here... This "Phantom Fragrance" is so strange, and I don't know what it is. If Mr. Lingyun is not prepared, he will suffer."

Zhao Chen was extremely alert and felt that he might have underestimated Concubine Yan. After all, he hadn't even seen Yan Ruyu so far and he almost got into trouble... He might end up being someone else's prey instead of trying to fish in troubled waters.

Taking a deep breath and trying hard to reduce his presence, Zhao Chen didn't even dare to extend his spiritual consciousness, as if he was really just a "shadow" next to the stone in the backyard.

About ten breaths later, a black figure entered the backyard. In the moonlight, it could be vaguely seen that it was a woman.

When he walked to a position not far from Zhao Chen's hiding place, the latter could see clearly that he was wearing a Western wizard robe with a Daxia waistcoat style, his face was hidden in the hood, one hand was holding a crystal ball, and the other hand was holding a short staff like a branch.

"This waisted robe is from a famous brand and not cheap. It must be at least one hundred strings of cash..." Zhao Chen, who had been reading a lot of magazines with Ming Xueling recently, easily estimated its value. This can be considered an occupational disease of a "collector".

The woman in the corset stayed near Zhao Chen's hiding place for a while, then let the crystal ball fly into the air, muttering something, probably looking for a way to break the Mengxi Garden formation. Maybe "Mr. Lingyun" had really been tricked, resulting in no one controlling the center of the formation, and insufficient changes, so in less than an incense stick of time, the woman found a breakthrough, and the whole person instantly entered the formation and disappeared.

But at this time, Zhao Chen still did not rush to show up, because he knew that the protection measures in the "Mengxi Garden" formation were far more than just "Mr. Lingyun", and it would not be so easy for the woman who looked like Yan Ruyu to succeed!
The fact turned out to be just as Zhao Chen had expected. After just a dozen breaths, there was a violent fluctuation of vital energy in the formation. It was obvious that the woman who had entered the formation had been forced to force her way in.

However, just when Zhao Chen was about to come out of the "shadow", he suddenly found another figure coming to the backyard.

This man was dressed in white, like an ancient scholar, about thirty years old, with a pale face and no beard, and a deep aura... Judging from his appearance, he was none other than the "Mr. Lingyun" who was supposed to be hypnotized and confused by the "subtle fragrance"!
After he arrived at the backyard, he first sensed the movement in the formation, then smiled and stepped into the formation.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart that this world is full of old ybs.

With his knowledge, it was not difficult to see that "Mr. Lingyun" was deliberately letting the woman break the restrictions on the outer perimeter of the formation.

As for his thoughts, it is not difficult to guess. It is likely that he is the same as Zhao Chen, and he also wants to find someone to take the blame and take the lead, so that he can fish in troubled waters.

"It seems that the guard of Mengxi Garden has been wanting to steal for a long time, but he just never had the chance?
"Oh, I feel a little sorry for the 'King of Liang'. He is just a pawn in the game between the Emperor and the True Lord 'Yuantong'. His subordinates also have their own thoughts. I guess none of them are loyal...

“That’s not right, Guan Si Niang was very loyal to him, but it’s a pity that he abandoned her.

"It's all my own fault!"

Zhao Chen was speechless, but the movement in the formation was getting louder and louder, which might attract King Liang's men at any time. The window to fish in troubled waters was very short, and he could not wait any longer.

Reaching out and touching the "silent hair" on his head, and seeing that it had no intention of "warning", Zhao Chen emerged from the "shadow" and entered the large formation in the backyard from another direction.

At this time, he had already sensed that the woman and "Mr. Lingyun" had entered two of the three places with strict restrictions respectively, so Zhao Chen chose the last one.

Since there was no one in charge of the formation, it was very rigid. It was not difficult for Zhao Chen, who had the prerequisite spell of "Star Suspension", to break it. However, the noise of breaking the formation was also quite loud, which would naturally alarm the guardians stationed here.

Then Zhao Chen only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he left the formation space and entered an extremely spacious cave.

As soon as he appeared, countless tongues of fire poured down on him!

Zhao Chen scanned with his spiritual sense and found that he was actually covered by saturation attacks from three armored vehicles more than three meters high.
