Chapter 142: Execution Law

During the conversation, the sky gradually brightened. Lu Fang heard the unwilling roar of the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon outside the castle, followed by the sharp sound of chains being dragged.

Zhao Qingzhu pushed the door open and walked out, saying, "It's dawn."

Lu Fang followed her out and found that the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon had disappeared, but the sound of chains being dragged could still be heard in his ears.

It would be dragged away by the chains when it was dawn, which meant the chains were restricting it.

Actually, thinking about it this way, there was no great danger here; otherwise, Zhao Qingzhu wouldn't have been safe and sound here for more than ten years.

Zhao Qingzhu looked up at the sky and said, "There is no sun here, as if time doesn't pass. If it weren't for the fact that we can't go out, this special place would actually be quite suitable for cultivation."

Lu Fang nodded. He had learned from the outside before that Zhao Qingzhu was only a Sixth Rank scholar before she disappeared. Ten years later, she was already a Fourth Rank.

This speed of improvement was considered relatively fast among ordinary people.

"Shall we go to the edge of the thick fog together?"

Lu Fang asked for her opinion.

Originally, he entered the trial grounds this time to find Zhao Qingzhu. Since he had found the person, he just wanted to leave this special place quickly.

After all, if he were trapped here and didn't get out in time, he would likely have to wait a few years to get out.

Zhao Qingzhu had no objections. She had long since had enough of staying here, not to mention that she knew her daughter had come to the Western Regions to find her. If she could, she would love to go out immediately.

This special place was basically a large grassland. Except for an ancient castle, there was only the thick fog at the edge.

This kind of thick fog was like substance. Lu Fang came to the edge and waved his sleeves to blow away the thick fog, but in the blink of an eye, the thick fog in that area gathered again.

Zhao Qingzhu reminded, "It's useless. The thick fog here cannot be blown away by wind, and if you enter it, you will circle in place if you are not careful. Entering deep into the thick fog is extremely difficult, but it is very easy if you want to retreat."

She thought for a while and expressed her feeling, "It's as if this thick fog array is just to prevent people from going out, but it has no attack power."

Lu Fang observed for a while outside, then followed Zhao Qingzhu into the thick fog. They were clearly moving forward, but they always ended up at the place where they had made a mark.

Zhao Qingzhu's array technique was very powerful. After changing positions several times, they didn't return to the place where they made the mark.

Lu Fang hesitated, "Are we not circling in place like this anymore?"

Zhao Qingzhu shook her head with a bitter smile, "At first I thought we weren't circling in place anymore, but later I discovered we were just circling in a large circle."

Sure enough, not long after she finished speaking, they returned to the place where they made the mark.

Lu Fang looked at the mark and frowned:

"I feel this array is just a trap array. It doesn't look difficult. Can it really not be cracked? When I came in before, there was thick fog in that place. Perhaps if we cross the edge of this thick fog, we can go out."

Zhao Qingzhu said firmly, "The reason you think so is because you don't know much about array techniques. You see this is just a trap array, but I can tell you that there are thousands of trap arrays here, crisscrossing."

"And as we go deeper, the trap arrays will change more."

"Even a Taoist Lord above the Third Rank, who has a certain study of arrays, would likely be trapped inside."

Lu Fang shook his head helplessly when he heard this. If it were really like this, it would be a disaster.

Array techniques themselves were incomparably mysterious and extremely dependent on talent. If ordinary people didn't have a certain talent, even cultivation would be extremely difficult.

Although he is still confident, he has to admit that he does not have the slightest talent for array techniques. Since even Zhao Qingzhu has no way to break the arrays here, he figures there is no point in him learning them now.

In this way, wouldn't he really be trapped here?

After trying a few times, Lu Fang and Zhao Qingzhu walked out of the thick fog. Before they had gone far, the deity ran out of the fog, looking somewhat lingering in fear.

The two sides looked at each other and couldn't help but be stunned.

The deity looked at Lu Fang and then placed his gaze on Zhao Qingzhu, saying somewhat tentatively, "Is she a person trapped here?"

Lu Fang sneered, "No, she came in with me."

The deity shook his head, "Wrong, she is a person trapped here. I recorded the appearance of everyone before entering, and she wasn't among them. Does she look a bit like someone? Oh, right, she looks very much like your sister Lu Ling."

Zhao Qingzhu looked at Lu Fang and asked, "Is he the one you said before who was possessed?"

Lu Fang replied and looked at the deity, "You just came out of the thick fog. It looks like you encountered something extraordinary. Is it very dangerous inside?"

When the deity heard this, his expression was somewhat unpleasant. In fact, he was a spirit born from the essence blood of the God-Man clan. Correspondingly, he inherited quite a few memories from his bloodline.

Array techniques were a kind of bloodline memory he inherited. However, this kind of memory was very blurry and not very proficient.

But it was also because of this that the deity could enter the thick fog array and crack one trap array after another. But as he went deeper, he became less and less capable.

The arrays here were too complex, one inside another. By the end, almost several arrays were interlocked. Let alone cracking them, if the arrays didn't have attack power, he would likely have died inside.

The deity didn't answer Lu Fang's question, but stared thoughtfully at Zhao Qingzhu, saying, "Lord Wenguan, did I tell you before that if you want to leave this ghost place, you must find the laws here?"

"Perhaps this woman is a link in the laws."

"Some kind of existence here, although not as strong as in my memory, is also extremely difficult to deal with given the realm you and I are in now."

"Why don't you and I join forces and break this law together."

Lu Fang nodded slightly, "What ideas do you have? You can say them and let me hear."

The deity smiled and said, "I really have ideas. I think the laws of this place are definitely different from the kind of laws in my memory, but in the final analysis, this law must have existed before we came."

"I believe you have also seen that this is a large grassland, and there is nothing except the thick fog. I can confirm one point: the arrays in the thick fog can be excluded from the laws."

Lu Fang asked doubtfully, "Why exclude the arrays?"

The deity sighed, "Isn't this very obvious? The arrays in the thick fog have no attack power. They only serve the purpose of trapping people here. They shouldn't have a connection with the laws."

"This is interesting."

"We only see that Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon and this woman so far, which is to say, the laws will appear on them." ===== CHAPTER 143 =====
