Chapter 658: Chapter 655: Predicament

"A prison barrier? What kind of crazy barrier is this?" Lin Tian wondered, realizing that he couldn’t escape the barrier without understanding the situation first.

The Heavenly Master Girl examined the surrounding barrier, then shook her head, "I don’t know either; this is the first time I’ve seen such a barrier. The Taoist arts from Huaxia changed significantly after reaching Japan, even developing their unique system. Many of the techniques are unknown to me."

"Can we break it by force?" Ning Luoxi said, which was very much in line with her aggressive personality.

"Any barrier can be broken by force, as every barrier has its limits. However, powerful barriers generally have something in common—they absorb the attack energy to fortify themselves or use the absorbed energy to counterattack those inside. Breaking through isn’t so easy," the Heavenly Master Girl explained.

"If Guizhong Yilang’s target is the Demon Blade, why did he seal us in too?" Li Yue asked.

"I’m not sure; he has his reasons," the Heavenly Master Girl shook her head.

"You had a chance to leave earlier; why didn’t you go?" Ning Luoxi asked the Heavenly Master Girl.

The Heavenly Master Girl glanced at Lin Tian, then smiled, "You had a chance to leave too; why didn’t you go? Weren’t you worried about leaving Lin Tian alone?"

Ning Luoxi’s gaze shifted slightly, and she immediately retorted, "Who said it’s for that pervert? I treat all team members equally."

The Heavenly Master Girl blinked, and without further teasing, she said, "Actually, we couldn’t leave earlier either. Although the barrier wasn’t fully set up at the start, the formation itself was enough to prevent people inside from escaping, giving him enough time to finish setting up the barrier."

"What are you guys fussing about? It’s just a barrier. Let me handle it, and let’s see whether this prison barrier is stronger or Master Dao Man’s barriers," Cunzheng shouted impatiently.

After saying this, he struck out with a swing of his Thousand Illusion One Strike Style towards the barrier, but the barrier only rippled without any other reaction.

"Demon Blade, you needn’t waste your energy; this prison barrier was specially prepared for you. When my ancestor successfully ritualized you, he knew your evil Qi was too heavy and could kill the wielder, so he left this behind—the prison barrier, specifically to imprison you!" Guizhong Yilang said.

"Imprison me? If I can’t open the barrier, I’ll just break through the ground to escape. Beware of your life once I’m out," the Demon Blade roared.

After saying this, he slashed again, but the Heavenly Master Girl didn’t stop him because she already knew the outcome. A barrier like this wouldn’t have such an obvious flaw.

Indeed, Cunzheng’s blade struck the stone steps. Normally, the Demon Blade cutting through stone was as easy as slicing through tofu, but this time, his strike had no effect at all. The ground also showed ripples as the barrier had sealed the ground too.

"Broken blade, don’t waste your energy on futile efforts. If you continue like this, the spiritual energy you’ve absorbed will all be absorbed by the barrier. Eventually, the barrier will strengthen, and you will weaken. As this continues, you’ll truly be finished!" Lin Tian warned.

"This won’t work; that won’t work. What do you want me to do, sit and wait to die?" the Demon Blade yelled furiously.

"Easy now, don’t get agitated. Looking at the whole situation, don’t you find it very peculiar? Guizhong Yilang one moment wants to use Hellfire to burn both of us, and the next he imprisons and seals you up, speaking incoherently. Moreover, he’s not a righteous person like Master Dao Man. Do you think he would waste his energy to burn you?" Lin Tian analyzed meticulously.

Cunzheng is not a fool; he just gets a bit out of control when he encounters his arch-enemy, the Onmyoji. Upon hearing Lin Tian’s analysis, he understood.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Are you suggesting that his imprisoning us has another purpose?"

"Of course. He’s the descendant of that evil Onmyoji, not of Master Dao Man. He’s definitely not here to rid the people of evil. Sealing you up, an effort-disliked task, he wouldn’t do that unless it served his benefit. He definitely has some unspoken motives." Lin Tian further analyzed.

"Clap clap clap..." Outside the Barrier, Guizhong Yilang started clapping, seemingly appreciating Lin Tian’s analysis.

"Young man, I initially thought you were just a simple-minded, brawny guy, capable of withstanding the Evil Qi of the Demon Blade because of your strong physique. Unexpectedly, you’re quite sharp-witted, yet unfortunately, a bit slow on the uptake," Guizhong Yilang said appreciatively, though his tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Old fart, I initially thought you were just a brainy guy with simple limbs. Turns out, your brain is as simple as your limbs, just a pity you still think you’re quite smart," Lin Tian retorted, mimicking Guizhong Yilang’s tone and deliberately sighing.

"Pfft..." Upon hearing his tone, Li Yue couldn’t help laughing, while Ning Luoxi and Heavenly Master Girl also showed smiles.

They simultaneously thought, this big flirt, even trapped in a Barrier, refuses to be outwitted, his words could make even Stone erupt in smoke.

Li Qingyun thought that Lin Tian’s every word and action always brought joy to those around him. Even trapped in a desperate situation, he wouldn’t let anyone feel hopeless or pessimistic. Of course, while friends found it joyful, enemies were infuriated.

Feeling initially smug, Guizhong Yilang’s expression turned sour. Dropping his sage-like demeanor, he said darkly, "What do you mean by that?"

"You still can’t figure it out? Truly as simple-minded as your limbs," Lin Tian mocked.

"You said I was slow on the uptake, but you’re wrong. If it weren’t for the Demon Blade controlling me, if the Demon Blade listened to me and returned control of my body, do you think you could still stand here talking? I would have chopped you into pieces and fed you to the Orochi long ago. Thinking you can trap me, aren’t you just simple-minded?" Lin Tian said bluntly.

"You..." Guizhong Yilang was taken aback and quite angered, unable to retort. He hadn’t considered that aspect.

Heavenly Master Girl blinked at Lin Tian, a smile in her eyes, knowing why Lin Tian spoke like that—his goal was to provoke Guizhong Yilang. A person enraged often reveals their flaws.

"What ’you’? Do you think trapping us here solves everything? Look back at those three; two of them are Shishen. They were forced to become Shishen and loathe Onmyojis to their bones. Be careful they might stab you in the back," Lin Tian said loudly on purpose, making sure both Fox Concubine and Ghost Princess could hear, trying to stir up their grudges.

Fox Concubine and Ghost Princess’s eyes flickered but said nothing. Guizhong Yilang frowned slightly; as an Onmyoji, he could tell they were Shishen and knew that Fox Concubine belonged to the Fox Clan. Being a man, he was very wary of the Fox Clan’s Charming Technique.
