Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 531: Witnessing What Should Not Be Seen
"Prince Wu, please hold a moment."
Just as Dugu Wu left the Soldier Inn, Mr. Nan Chen left Ouyang Chenchen behind and quickly caught up.
"Mr. Nan Chen, my apologies for earlier."
Dugu Wu gave Mr. Nan Chen a cupped-hand salute.
He was grateful to Mr. Nan Chen for helping Great Chu Team B earlier.
After all, the Ten Countries are still in competition, and Mr. Nan Chen’s assistance was already a huge favor.
He had forced Mr. Nan Chen to leave, although out of necessity, he still felt somewhat apologetic.
Mr. Nan Chen graciously waved his hand, and recalling the incident, he still felt a bit scared.
"If it weren’t for you, I would probably be trapped and dead in the forest right now. Actually, I should be thanking you. I wanted to ask you about that ancient array, please let us step aside to talk."
Speaking of the ancient array, Dugu Wu unconsciously frowned.
That array had long lost its brilliance, but for some reason, seeing it gave Dugu Wu a sense of palpitation. Although Dugu Wu knew about arrays and had read many ancient books, he had never seen this array before.
Dugu Wu had no choice but to set aside his immediate intention to return, and the two headed toward the Daye Representative Team’s inn.
Gasping and panting—
Messy footsteps accompanied by heavy breathing. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Feng Bailing was helping Hong Xuan, while Feng Luochen was assisting Dongfang Yong, and the four of them emerged from the forest.
"We finally made it out alive, I thought I was going to die in there."
Feng Luochen said with lingering fear.
"Before, I always thought martial artists were much stronger than scholars and looked down on scholars. It seems I was one-sided."
Feng Luochen remarked with a sigh.
Now, he realized that those who practice Wen Energy were truly unpredictable.
Dongfang Yong wiped the blood from his face and also chuckled bitterly.
"Just Princess Changle alone was enough to handle the four of us. This Competition Among Ten Countries is far more complex than we imagined."
Everyone fell into silence, realizing their own lack of strength.
"Have you noticed that the Black Fog is gradually dissipating?"
Feng Bailing’s attention was on the disappearing Black Fog.
For some reason, since earlier, Feng Bailing had been feeling irritable.
Along the way, she kept looking back to check the forest.
The Black Fog was steadily weakening, and now, it was almost completely gone.
"It must be that bad woman named Changle who found the source of the Black Fog."
Hong Xuan said gloomily.
They had been ambushed by Princess Changle this time, but due to lack of strength, they couldn’t retaliate, all of them harbouring some grudge.
However, Feng Bailing knew the truth was not so.
She was communicating with the surrounding trees through the Wooden Holy Seal.
Especially those trees in the depths of the forest which were previously inaccessible, had now made contact.
Feng Bailing discovered there was a strange black "cocoon" deep in the forest.
What surprised Feng Bailing even more was that the Wen Energy of Princess Changle, who had troubled them earlier, was trapped inside the black "cocoon."
The news relayed by the trees around her quickly informed Feng Bailing of the events, and she felt an urge to both laugh and cry. That damned Dugu Wu had even deceived her!
Dugu Wu, who had not appeared until now, had actually been playing a long game, pretending to be weak to trap his prey. He had discovered early on that the black fog deep in the forest was a trap, and he had pretended to help Princess Changle to drive away Mr. Nan Chen. He then let Princess Changle believe she had found the source of the black fog, only for her to walk right into it, not expecting that the black fog would transform into a cocoon cage, trapping Princess Changle’s Wen Energy within.
At this moment, Princess Changle must be regretting deeply.
Seeing the black fog disappear, Hong Xuan and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking the medicine liquid given by Feng Bailing, their injuries recovered significantly, but they were unaware of the misfortune that had befallen Princess Changle. They feared she might attack them again and just wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
"You guys go ahead, I need to collect some medicinal herbs, I will just be around the perimeter, not venturing in."
With Princess Changle trapped, Dugu Wu discovered an array on the ground and then withdrew.
Seeing Dugu Wu unharmed, Feng Bailing felt relieved.
However, at this moment, Feng Bailing detected another presence of Wen Energy, a strange Wen Energy also present in the area.
She was certain, it definitely was not Dugu Wu’s Wen Energy.
What was this other source of Wen Energy about?
Feng Bailing, feeling uneasy, let the three leave first.
In the depths of the forest, that black "cocoon" floated mid-air.
A strong Wen Energy appeared.
It was Hua Wushang’s Wen Energy.
After Dugu Wu and the others had left, Hua Wushang arrived belatedly.
To be precise, he had been waiting for a long time.
Dongfang Yu didn’t think highly of Dugu Wu, believing he was sure to lose.
But Hua Wushang didn’t think so, no one knew better than him how formidable an opponent Dugu Wu was.
He lay in wait motionlessly, clearly planning something, and sure enough, that foolish woman, Princess Changle, had fallen for it.
Looking at the black fog "cocoon" before him, Wushang’s Wen Energy suddenly moved, like a blade of a sword, it suddenly stirred.
It "sliced" open the black fog cage.
The black fog dispersed.
The Wen Energy of Princess Changle trapped inside the black fog cage regained its freedom, and it surged with excitement.
But the excitement was short-lived as a more powerful Wen Energy enveloped Princess Changle’s Wen Energy.
Princess Changle’s Wen Energy tried to break free, but found itself utterly unable to escape the other’s hold.
More terrifying than being trapped by the black fog cage, this new Wen Energy was trying to forcibly devour hers.
For those strong in the Wenhua Seal with a certain level of cultivation, it was well known that cultivating Wen Energy was not easy, it was even more difficult than cultivating Gang Qi; a rather simple yet effective method was to forcibly devour someone else’s Wen Energy.
Even so, very few actually did this, because if they failed, the consequences were severe.
But the Wen Energy before them was obviously an expert in this area.
It unhurriedly continued to devour Princess Changle’s Wen Energy bit by bit, continuously strengthening itself.
Just as Princess Changle’s Wen Energy was about to be completely devoured, a white shadow darted out.
The act of devouring the Wen Energy was abruptly interrupted.
Hua Wushang was a bit surprised, the one to interrupt him turned out to be a white wolf.
Ordinary people couldn’t see Wen Energy, let alone animals, but the white wolf in front of him had clearly detected him.
The white wolf was Dugu Xiaojin, guided by the Purple Dragon Energy, Dugu Xiaojing had entered the forest in search of his father. All along he hadn’t found Dugu Wu, not knowing that Dugu Wu had concealed his own energy.
After the black fog dissipated, Dugu Xiaojin, relying on his keen sense of smell, found the last traces of Dugu Wu’s presence in this area, but he hadn’t expected to encounter the scene of Hua Wushang forcibly devouring Princess Changle’s Wen Energy.
