Chapter 226 Moving reinforcements
【Fairyland, Huayan Mirror Palace】
The vast Huayan Mirror Palace was sparsely furnished, with only Xinling and Mandora standing facing each other, seemingly discussing something important.
There was no tense atmosphere between them; on the contrary, they were unusually calm and peaceful.
Since Xinling and Mandora had been at odds over the human world, even fighting to the death, they never imagined they would have such a harmonious time together.
After all, Fairyland now has a common enemy, and Mandora has personally proven through her experiments that the human world cannot be destroyed, so the previous conflicts have naturally been resolved.
However, both of them showed the same panic when it came to the matter of Mutian Pavilion.
“I really didn’t expect that the Heavenly Seal would actually be connected with the Forbidden Land…” Mandora had truly experienced what it meant to lose both her wife and her army: “No matter what, they absolutely cannot come out!”
"But what about Liangcai?" Xinling asked with concern. "She's been captured. Is her life in danger?"
“Sister, the problem we face is not as simple as rescuing Liangcai.” Mandora’s expression was solemn: “The Forbidden Land has always been a taboo that no one dares to mention. What if we rush there and trigger the taboo?”
"If we can't go to the forbidden land, how can we rescue Liangcai?" Xinling stubbornly wanted to rescue Liangcai.
“The sacrifice of a few is inevitable, and we cannot be as reckless as you think,” Mandora firmly refused. “Besides, we don’t even know where the forbidden land is.”
Xin Ling fell silent. Indeed, putting aside how dangerous the forbidden land was, she didn't even know where it was, so how could she possibly save anyone?
“I know.” Just then, a calm voice broke the silence.
A tiny black hole appeared silently in the Huayan Mirror Palace. Immediately afterwards, Yu Wang Li Hui, who had been "missing" for an unknown period of time, suddenly appeared in front of Xin Ling and Mandora.
"The Emperor?!" Xinling and Mandora looked at each other in surprise. It seemed that Li Hui had disappeared with Shi Xi the day she fell asleep. Why would he suddenly appear now?
“Not only do I know where the forbidden land is, but I also know that they will soon break the seal and return to the fairyland!” Li Hui said calmly, revealing words that terrified Xin Ling and Mandora: “And the key to breaking the seal is the Mutian Token! That is, the Lingxi Token that the Lingxi Pavilion has always guarded.”
"What?" Upon hearing this, Xinling and Mandora were both stunned. Mandora asked incredulously, "How is this possible! The secret that Lingxi Pavilion has been guarding all along... is actually such a secret?"
"I was also shocked by this secret." Li Hui didn't want to explain further; he couldn't very well say that someone had told him.
"Mandora, you lost the token when you went to compete for the Spirit Rhinoceros Power. Presumably, that's when you lost it," Li Hui said meaningfully. "The only person I can think of who could have taken the Spirit Rhinoceros Token and brought it to the Sky Pavilion at that time is—"
"Who?" Xinling and Mandora both asked instinctively.
"Fire Lord, Huo Liaoye!" Li Hui decisively pinned the blame on Huo Liaoye.
“Indeed, Huo Liaoye did disappear during the great battle.” Mandora also had some speculation: “If there was an inside-outside collaboration, he would definitely have had time to send the Lingxi Token away at that time.”
"Damn it, I never thought a despicable person would take advantage of this!"
"Then... what should we do now?" Xin Ling hadn't expected that their worst fears would come true: "If the seal on the forbidden land is broken, the fairyland will probably never have peace again!"
"I've come here with a plan," Li Hui said calmly. "Outside the gates of the Forbidden Land, there is an ancient fairy guarding the area. If we can buy some time, she can repair the seal."
"However, it will be difficult for Princess Yue to accomplish this on her own, so we need to find some helpers before we can do so..."
"What kind of helper?" Xinling and Mandora seemed to see a glimmer of hope and immediately asked.
“Wang Mo, the warrior of Ye Luoli, and the God of War of the Fairy Realm, Prince Jin!” Li Hui said.
“I can understand that Jin Litong is the God of War of the Fairy Realm, but what would we need a Ye Luoli warrior for?” Mandora was skeptical. She didn’t think a human could handle an opponent that even the fairies found troublesome.
“It seems that the ancient war really happened too long ago, so long that you have all forgotten about it.” Li Hui sighed and rubbed his forehead. “It’s not so easy to close the gate. If a fairy directly touches the gate, she will be instantly shattered. Only a human can do it.”
“Okay, let’s go now.” Mandora is a woman of action, truly making the most of every second.
