"Can you forcefully break out of the city?" Lin Yue asked.
Yu Shiqi cocked her little head, thought for a while, and then said somewhat dejectedly, "It seems I can’t, Master said that Tantian Sect is now in decline. Although there aren’t any formidable characters, the Sword Seeking Boat is still a powerful treasure. The Barrier utilizes the Three Talents Level of Heaven and Earth Law. Even if I chanted ’I can break it’ for an entire day, I definitely wouldn’t be able to break through, sniff..."
"That’s enough, don’t cry." Lin Yue helplessly shook his head slightly.
Seeing Yu Shiqi pouting and holding back her tears, Lin Yue continued to ponder and said, "However, why does Tantian Sect insist on staying in Qingdu and using a Barrier to seal the city?"
"Because the Patrol Envoy is dead, there shouldn’t be any more Patrol Envoys coming." Yu Shiqi wiped away her tears as she spoke.
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Even though as you said, it’s only likely, what if a Patrol Envoy does come? What’s the point of Tantian Sect doing this?"
He always felt there was a problem.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Yue temporarily reined in his thoughts and said to Yu Shiqi, "For now, let’s wait for you to recover, then we’ll figure out how to leave the city."
Yu Shiqi closed her eyes, focusing on expelling the Mana from her wounds.
Lin Yue said nothing, sitting quietly on the side, also beginning to focus on cultivating.
Among the various Essences wandering between heaven and earth, he extracted the attributes of earth, wind, water, and fire, bit by bit, and integrated them into his body, silently strengthening his Physical Body, turning into the Essence of water, fire, and wind.
The Prince Bloodline of the Xiahong Clan was indeed extraordinary. Even though he had only practiced for a few days, he already felt that he was very close to the first layer of the Heavenly Barrier—the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier.
Baili Fengzhi once said—
It was as easy as eating and drinking for a prince from the Xiahong Clan to break through the most basic Five Elements Heavenly Barrier, because from the start of cultivation, a prince could absorb the Essence of the Five Elements Level, and breaking through the first Heavenly Barrier simply made cultivation more efficient without any substantial breakthrough, so ten days to half a month was enough.
However, Lin Yue still felt that his cultivation speed seemed a bit too fast, much quicker than what Baili Fengzhi had anticipated.
Although his current strength was trivial, and breaking through the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier would not mean much, accumulating little by little, step by step, he would eventually grow.
Besides, the black jade coffin hidden in his family’s cellar also required breaking through the Four Symbols Heavenly Barrier to be opened.
Three resonant sounds, like the striking of a huge bell, suddenly exploded in Lin Yue’s mind!
At the same time, everything in front of him seemed to come to a standstill in an instant, with dead silence all around. Only the lofty and grand bell sound reverberated in his mind.
Lin Yue listened intently.
Then, a faint whisper rose in his mind, softly telling him—
"Do you know? Yu Shiqi also has the Prince Bloodline of the Xiahong Clan. She is the sole surviving blood relative of the Sixteenth Prince, her grandfather. She is also the redemption of her masters, pure despite emerging from the mud, and she possesses the Innate Divine Power ’Believe as True,’ which matches perfectly with her honest and guileless heart."
Soon after, the ethereal whisper dissipated without a trace, and everything returned to normal.
"The granddaughter of the Sixteenth Prince? The redemption of her masters?"
Lin Yue opened his eyes and glanced silently at Yu Shiqi, "Innate Divine Power ’Believe as True’? An honest and guileless heart?"
He silently absorbed the information contained in this secret.
Unknowingly, five hours passed.
Outside the woodshed, the vast and serene blue glow gradually seeped through the window grilles, painting the room with the promise of dawn.
"Your Highness, I’m better now..."
Yu Shiqi looked at Lin Yue, who was closing his eyes and practicing, and called out to him softly.
Lin Yue opened his eyes, glanced at her, and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"No need to worry, little Yu isn’t afraid of hunger." Yu Shiqi immediately puffed out her rather impressive chest, showing the spirit that she wasn’t a gluttonous weakling.
"Oh, I’m hungry. Let’s find a place to eat first."
"…Then I’ll just nibble on two bites, um... three bites."
"They can’t see us, they can’t see us, they can’t see us..."
The girl murmured softly and tenderly, allowing Lin Yue to lead her through the streets, with the crowd flowing like rivers in the early morning, step by step towards the city gate.
And not a single passerby among the people walking by saw the pair, indifferently ignoring them as they passed.
Soon, the city gate was before them.
"That Flying Boat did indeed seal the entire city with the Barrier..."
Yu Shiqi looked at the city gate in astonishment, turned to Lin Yue with a lack of confidence, and said, "How about you wait for me for a day? I can chant for a day and then try again..."
Lin Yue gave her a glance, rubbed her head, and said, "Next, you just need to keep chanting ’they can’t see me, they can’t see me,’ don’t worry about me, I can walk out in broad daylight."
"Ah?" Yu Shiqi was a bit perplexed, "Walk out in broad daylight? How?"
Lin Yue’s lips curled into a smile, and then he slowly raised a hand, pressing it against his cheek.
