The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 165: Zi Cheng's Escape Plan

The two spells clashed against each other in the air so powerfully that the palace foundation swayed. It felt like the building would collapse at any moment.

Damn, I still cant move. Are we going to get crushed to death? Elena jerked her feet violently, but she couldnt free herself from the floor.

We might come up with a plan if we keep observing. Ming Xi didnt say anything else but worry flashed in his eyes.

Jier said, Dont worry. If worse comes to worse, Ill open my seal. We should be able to escape that way.

Its useless. Remember where we are. You cant connect to the upper realms from here. Luis interrupted.

Oh Jier hadnt thought of that.

Zi Cheng spoke up. Actually I might have a way to save us. Honestly if the situation wasnt so dire, she wouldnt do the exchange, but she saw no other way out.

Ai Lin sneered. So the protagonist was going to use her cheat system after all.

You have a way out? Gerasi was skeptical.

A freshman was saying she could resolve a dilemma even a holy master couldnt. Any normal person would be doubtful, so it was unsurprising Gerasi would sound skeptical.

But as Zi Chengs number one devotee, Yifu wasnt going to let any doubts against Zi Cheng go unchallenged. She didnt care that Gerasi was a senior; she promptly confronted him. Senior Gerasi, Xiao Cheng has never lied. How can you doubt her?

Gerasi felt embarrassed. He didnt say anything even though Yifus attitude was bad.

Elena and Luis resented Yifus behavior. Howd such an unruly girl enter the academy?

Whats your plan? Pei Qing was more interested in getting out of their predicament than their jabbing at one another.

Its simple. I have a scroll that will break any array. It just has to be placed in the eye. She took out the scroll she exchanged with favorability points and showed it to everyone.

It was a glorious scroll. They could see how exceptional it was. No wonder she said it could break the array.

Where is the eye of the array though? Rain asked.

Uh They were stumped. None of them were familiar with arrays.

But Feng Wu knew. Its under that person. She hadnt spoken much, but she had been paying attention to everything around her. When she heard they were looking for the eye, she pointed it out.

All eyes turned to the demon. He sat in the front of the hall, somewhat far. There was no way for them to reach the eye.

Besides even if they could reach, the demon was sitting right on top of it, and he didnt look like he would budge. He was fighting Grandpa with magic so getting him to physically move would be hard.

How are you able to see it Xiao Wu?Jier was curious.

Feng Wu gave Jier a strange look. I just see it. She didnt understand why he asked.

The battle between the two holy masters turned fiercer. Both were fighting hard and trying their best, but ultimately Grandpa lost. He coughed out several mouthfuls of blood.

Sure enough even if they were both holy masters, an ancient demon was still more powerful than a human one.

Insignificant humans, youve overestimated your abilities. The demon mocked Grandpa.

Grandpa looked horrible. He glared at the demon with barely repressed killing intent. His granddaughter stood at his side. She was worried but refrained from speaking lest she distract her grandfather.

Dont be so smug. Today, the Human world is no longer the same as it once was. We are powerful enough to protect our world now. Even if you leave, you wont escape our tribunal. You will be arrested.

It was impossible for this demon to escape the tribunal.

The others knew Grandpa was telling the truth. The tribunal would have detected it the moment a demon became active. An elite force would have been assembled and sent to investigate.

But right now the only thing between the adventurers and the centuries only demon was a holy master, who had just suffered defeat and was now seriously injured.

Done with the battle, the demon soldier continued consuming blood and regaining his strength.

Their fears intensified as the pile of dead bodies grew.

No! Dont suck my blood!

Let me go!

Dont take me! Take them! Take them!

Screams, filled with resentment and despair, rang out as the adventurers were consumed one by one.

Jasmine had to speak up. What should we do? If we dont do something soon it will be us next.

If they didnt break the array soon, they would all be dead.

Did Xiao Chun wake up?[notes] Feng Wu felt movement in her dantian. She mentally went inside to investigate and sure enough Xiao Chun was flying around energetically. He paused and greeted her when he noticed her.

Xiao Chun, theres a really strong guy outside. Can you lead him away and distract him?

Xiao Chun struck a pose as if to say, Of course.

While Feng Wu was mentally talking to Xiao Chun inside her dantian, the other guys, Ming Xi and the rest, were also discussing how to lead the demon away from the eye.

They might have been able to do it if they werent immobilized by the array, but with the array limiting them, there didnt seem to be a way. The only one who could have escaped, the holy master grandpa, was seriously injured as well. What could they do?

Maybe, Zi Cheng you can use the sky flame?[notes] Jasmine asked hesitantly. She was voicing what everyone else was thinking. Zi Cheng had a heavenly flame. Maybe if the demon saw it, he would be forced to move away from the eye of the array.
