Chen Yan took the brush and looked at it, faintly able to sense the flow of primordial Qi within it.
Goodness... Is that, a fox tail brush?
Mrs. He continued, "During the battle, I will still be at the forefront, and you just need to assist me. Giving you this brush is just in case, in case an opportunity arises, you can act."
Pausing for a moment, Mrs. He slowly said, "You need not worry, if we encounter danger, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will ensure your safety.
You are a family member of the Venerable one. If you were to die here, the Venerable one would trace the cause and effect, and even if I die, my family would bear the consequences. So, I definitely won’t let you die here.
Moreover... in a moment of crisis, you can also tell that guy, you are the Venerable one’s grandson."
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "We are going there to kill it, at this time, just to save my life, even if I reveal my identity, will it not fight back? In a battle of life and death, who has time to consider so much?"
Mrs. He shook her head, saying, "I don’t expect it to surrender without a fight, but as long as you reveal you are the Venerable one’s grandson, it is from the Domain Realm, it would pause, even if just for a moment. Even a second or half a second of hesitation is an opportunity!"
After giving these instructions, Mrs. He naturally took the lead and entered the cave first.
Chen Yan followed behind her and walked into the cave.
This cave was made into a dwelling by two beings from the Domain Realm using spells and divine techniques.
The passage inside the cave had been smoothed, the ground was a tidy stone path instead of dirt. The mountain walls on both sides were also neatly cut, and there was no damp and cold mountain air at all.
There were runes carved on the mountain walls. Chen Yan carefully discerned them, they seemed to be an array pattern meant to gather primordial Qi—originally a part of the dwelling setup to gather primordial Qi, naturally included in the design.
However, the array was not activated, as many of the patterns were incomplete and not fully inscribed.
"When this dwelling wasn’t finished, we fell out and fought fiercely." Mrs. He said slowly, "Up ahead is a stone door leading to the main hall of the dwelling. In the main hall is where I placed the fox tail and set up the array. Once you enter, do not touch anything, to avoid damaging my array."
After walking dozens of steps, they indeed saw a gray stone door. Mrs. He stood in front of the door, reversed the sword handle and gently knocked on it twice, a stream of primordial Qi flowed, and the stone door slowly and automatically opened.
Inside the door was a spacious stone chamber!
Following Mrs. He, Chen Yan entered and found the room was circular in shape. On the surrounding walls, glowing stones were embedded, but the light was dim and not very bright.
In the center of the stone chamber, a stone pedestal was placed, with primordial Qi flowing above it, where a section of a fox tail stained with blood was suspended!
A closer look showed that the fur of the fox tail had turned gray, appearing as if it had withered, ready to break and scatter at any moment.
Nearby, several stones were placed on the floor, seemingly positioned in some pattern, with runes flickering.
Behind the stone pedestal was an excavated stone pit, with primordial Qi flowing around it, faintly forming a kind of isolation.
In the dim light, one could see a figure lying in the stone pit!
However, the primordial Qi around had transformed into countless streams of Qi Mechanisms, firmly suppressing the figure at the bottom of the pit. Chen Yan moved a few steps closer, even at a distance, he could faintly feel a sense of suffocation.
Grayish Qi fog had formed around the primordial Qi, enveloping the figure layer by layer.
From the outside, the figure looked as if it was cocooned in a layer of fog, making it impossible to discern the person’s appearance and body shape.
"I reinforced this array after trapping it," Mrs. He said solemnly, "Don’t touch anything, let me do some preparations. Once I lift the array, we start. Stand at the Qian position, my attack techniques will avoid the Qian position. Stand there and look for an opportunity to injure it!"
The Qian position was easy for Chen Yan to find, he had been studying this long enough to know it well.
He walked to the Qian position in the room and saw Mrs. He move to the other side, take out several talisman papers, and lightly place them on the surrounding walls.
The room was too dimly lit, and Chen Yan’s position just happened to avoid the stone pedestal with the fox tail, allowing a view of the figure in the pit.
Chen Yan quietly circulated his primordial Qi, using the Qi Observation Skill to keep a close watch.
Suddenly, the figure in the pit seemed to move, then, that person seemed to tremble slightly, and with a struggling posture, tried hard to turn over!
With the figure’s struggle and movement, the cocoon-like Qi Mechanism wrapped around it momentarily dissipated... like water flowing, then quickly reassembled and enveloped it again.
But in that brief instant, the dispersal of the Qi Mechanism unexpectedly allowed Chen Yan to clearly see the figure within the Qi cocoon!!
Just in that flash, Chen Yan suddenly held his breath! A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead along his cheek!!
Because, in that moment, he saw it clearly.
In the stone pit, the figure within the Qi cocoon... wearing a brightly colored longevity suit, appeared unmistakably as Mrs. He!!
