Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

This group of people were so focused on exploring the mysterious Zhang's ancient building that they were unaware of the quiet evacuation of the Xie and Zhang families. They had only one thought in their minds - to catch up with Xie Yuchen, who had gone ahead. Among them, Huo Xiangu was looking forward to finding the legendary method of immortality; while the other members of the Huo family were salivating over the huge treasure hidden in the ancient building; Xia Yixin only wanted to get the panacea that could cure his boss's stubborn illness; Wu Xie was obsessed with uncovering the shocking truth hidden behind the thick fog; as for Fatty Wang, he simply followed Wu Xie to join in the fun and find some valuable things to fill his already pitifully deflated wallet.

However, things did not go as planned. Although everyone was chasing him non-stop, Xie Yuchen's pace was too fast. He kept going forward and rushed straight to the top floor. When he reached the fourth floor, the hanging part between the fourth and fifth floors was blocked. In desperation, Xie Yuchen had to rely on his own outstanding talents and rich experience to crack the complicated and cumbersome mechanism, so as to open up a passage to the fifth floor.

When Xie Yuchen finally successfully climbed to the fifth floor, he began to stroll around leisurely. At this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhang Haike and others hiding in the corner of a room. Seeing them huddled together in silence, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but feel very surprised and asked, "Why are you guys squatting here like this?"

Zhang Haike pulled Xie Yuchen into the room with a solemn expression, and then winked at Zhang Hailong and others, signaling them to quickly seal the doors and windows. After everything was ready, he lowered his voice and said, "The young prince and the clan leader are here, but they have already gone to the top floor to check the situation. The Zhang family's ancient building in Banai has always been the core of the Zhang family's core, and its degree of danger is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. And we found that as long as someone steps into this ancient building, it will automatically spray a large amount of alkali powder to resist the difficult Miluotuo outside. And what's more deadly is that as long as people stay in this ancient building, it will spray alkali powder again every once in a while. Just before you came in, it was sprayed once. I estimate that it won't be long before the second spraying will start."

Hearing this, Xie Yuchen's heart tightened. He was naturally aware of the power of alkali powder, but on second thought, it didn't seem to have much to do with him. So, he twisted his body and tried to break free from Zhang Haike's hand that was tightly holding his arm, but he didn't expect that he was pressed hard by the other party and couldn't move.

Zhang Haike stared at Xie Yuchen with a serious face, and slowly said: "Xiaohua, I know what you are thinking. Yes, you have special protection measures given by the young prince, and the alkali powder may not pose much threat to you. But we are different! We are just ordinary mortals with flesh and blood. If we accidentally get alkali powder on us, our bodies will not be able to withstand its toxic erosion. At that time, we can only watch our body organs gradually weaken until death. The pain is unimaginable! So, before you find a way to leave safely, you'd better stay here honestly."

Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Haike, who usually had a smile on his face but was now extremely serious, and was slightly startled. He was secretly surprised. You know, in his memory, Zhang Haike was always laughing and not serious. It was very rare for him to be so serious. For a moment, Xie Yuchen was at a loss, and stood there in a daze.

At this time, Zhang Haike spoke again: "Xiaohua, think about it, if the young prince and the clan leader really want to tell you the truth, then they would have told you long ago, why are they hiding it? This can only mean one thing, that is, they don't want you to be implicated in this matter. And in my opinion, this matter is probably so serious that it is beyond imagination. Even powerful people like the young prince and the clan leader find it quite difficult to deal with. With your current ability, if you rush in rashly, can you help, or will you only make things worse and cause trouble for others?"

After a long while, Xie Yuchen finally came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and slowly sat down. At this moment, he was very uneasy, not knowing what would happen next, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to sit there quietly, quietly waiting for his dad and father to come.

On the top floor far away, Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling were concentrating on keeping in close contact with Hongjun and Luohou through the water mirror. Under their careful guidance, they carefully arranged the mysterious and complex magic circle bit by bit.

This magic array is extremely special. Once activated, the continuous output of mana cannot be stopped. Because if there is a slight interruption, the entire magic array will collapse instantly, and all the previous efforts will be in vain. Not only that, this array requires Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling to work together, and neither of them can be missing. If either of them falls down due to exhaustion of mana, the magic array will also collapse completely.

At this moment, the huge magic circle covering the entire top floor secret room is close to completion. After a long period of high-intensity work, Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling are already exhausted. Beads of sweat keep oozing out of their foreheads and sliding down their cheeks; their originally rosy complexions have now turned pale as paper, without any blood; their bodies are shaking uncontrollably, as if they will collapse to the ground at any time. However, even though their bodies have reached their limits and are wailing in pain, they still grit their teeth and hold on desperately.

Finally, relying on their strong will and perseverance, the two tried their best and used up their last bit of strength to successfully connect the magic circle completely! At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the center of the magic circle, like thousands of golden arrows piercing the sky. The bright light was so strong that even Zhang Hainan, who was far away in the mountains, could see it clearly. The golden light broke through the clouds with the force of thunder and instantly tore a huge hole in the clouds in the sky. But after just a short while, this shocking scene quickly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling were crushed to the ground by the pressure from the formation at the same time when the formation was completed, and both vomited blood. Zhang Qiling crawled to Hua Yu's side even if his bones would be broken, and helped him resist the pressure from the formation.

Fortunately, the pressure from the magic circle only lasted for a moment and soon disappeared, along with the various treasures on the floor of the room. However, it did not really disappear, but hid its tracks, waiting for its prey to arrive before it would open its claws and reveal its sharp teeth.

Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling supported each other and stood up. After leaving the secret room, they rested temporarily in other rooms on the top floor, waiting for that person to arrive.

"Baby, do we really not need to go over there?" The water mirror was still there. Luohou looked at his baby with distress as he slumped on the chaise longue with a pale face and anxiety all over his face.

"Dad, I'm really fine, just a little exhausted. I'll recover after eating a few bites of the rare treasures you stuffed into my personal space." Hua Yu raised her head with difficulty and comforted Luohou on the other side of the water mirror.

Luohou looked at his baby who was obviously in so much pain but still wanted to comfort him, and then turned to look at the people around him. He was so angry that he stretched out his hand and twisted Hongjun's ear, "Baby, your father and I have some things to deal with, you should have a good rest." After that, he broke up the water mirror and started punching and kicking Hongjun.
