Mist rose in front.

It looked like the surface of the sea under a gloomy drizzle or a distant and fuzzy morning dream.

With a long sword in her hand, the woman wearing the white Daoist robe suddenly stopped walking, and her pretty eyes beneath the bamboo hat looked cold.

Before her, a little girl wearing a white dress and a woman in blue walked deeper into the thin mist.

“What’s wrong?!” The people on the Sky-Patrolling Spiritual Ship suddenly stood up, finding the scene created by the spiritual spell that had looked clear begin turning fuzzy as if it was being covered in a thick fog.

The fog got thicker, and finally they could see nothing but white mist. All the surroundings even turned white, let alone the people in it.

“Are there maze arrays among the restriction arrays?” the Baoping Spiritual Master asked, “Who set it?”

“No!” Feng Yangzi said, “In the whole exam area, we have set all kinds of restriction arrays except for maze arrays.” ( NovelFull )

Since it took people a long time to walk out of maze-style restriction arrays, if they put several of such arrays in the area, the exam would probably take more than one month to finish.

The only explanation was that some participants in the exam set up an array in the surrounding area.

From the looks of it, it wasn’t an ordinary array. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to block their view.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyue had just sent a message on QQ using her communication jade, but the small round symbol kept spinning; the message wasn’t sent out after a long time.

Then, she saw the signal bars on the top right corner of the screen jump from full to one bar, and then…

“No internet?!” Jiang Xiaoyue yelled in surprise.

She was having a good time talking to the people in the internet café on QQ, but suddenly she lost all signal!

“It seems that we have entered an array.” Beside her, Li Lanruo looked around and found the white fog extremely creepy.

Obviously, the cultivators who had built such an array here in a short time were much more powerful than the cultivators they had met before.

About 500 meters above them in the sky, Nangong Zhuo stood with his hands clasped behind him with arrogance in his eyes.

He looked down and saw the thick fog engulfing everything nearby like a huge tomb.

“Young Master Nangong,” a young man wearing the disciple uniform of the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace said, “They have entered the array.”

Nangong Zhuo condensed spiritual essence in his eyes and looked down. Sure enough, Jiang Xiaoyue, who had a communication jade in her hand had walked into the array with Li Lanruo.

“This little girl has been playing with her communication jade all the way here,” the disciple of the Nangong Family said, “She doesn’t have the slightest regard for us.”

With gritted teeth, he said in thrill as he vented his frustration, “Now, the circulation of spiritual essence inside the array follows the circulation of the array, cutting all signals transmissions with the outside world. I’ll see how she can play with it!”

This array used a very complicated spiritual essence flow to form illusions. Meanwhile, this continuously flowing spiritual essence stopped the transmission of the spiritual essence signals.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaoyue shook her communication jade in anger, but there were still no signals.

“Got it!” She rolled her dark eyes as if an idea dawned on her. She took out a small, strange-looking box from her storage spiritual artifact and plugged it to her communication jade. She touched the virtual signal icon on her communication jade and chose the option of high-frequency radio signals.

Soon, the signal icon rose from zero to two bars.

Then, she continued chatting on QQ. My internet connection was down (Husky’s dumb and cute face), and the signal still isn’t strong now.

It seemed like something had interrupted the signal, but she could still use the communication jade.

Then, she sent a photo that she just took in which the people of the Xu Family and the Xun Family lay on the ground randomly. Look, I knocked down a few more rivals!

Su Tianji: Internet connection was down? How did that happen?

Jiang Xiaoyue replied: I don’t know… We’re surrounded by thick fog; some damn people built an array here.

In the sky, the disciple of the Nangong Family looked as if he had just swallowed a fly. “This little girl is still using her communication jade?!”

“Shall I…” he said in resentment, “Shall I take that communication jade from her?!”

They had cut off all communications with the outside world with this special array, yet this girl was still playing with her communication jade?!

“It’s not necessary. She won’t cause big trouble for us,” Nangong Zhuo said in a cold voice, “For the sake of the Mystic Fate Jade, my Nangong Family must take some blame, but I don’t believe that the Jiang Family and the Heavenly Academy will fall out with us for a woman of a small family!”

“Young Master, you’re right. She’s just a little girl and can only deal with those wastrels even if she is strong.” The disciple flattered him. “If you show your hand, she won’t stand a chance!”

“Don’t hurt the little girl of the Jiang Family. Right now, only we know about the real secret about the Mystic Fate Jade, and it’s not necessary to antagonize that family.”

“Yes!”

“Young Master Nangong, that person of the Heavenly Academy is coming!” another young man said; his black robe and black clothes didn’t show his background. ( NovelFull )

“Block her first!” Nangong Zhuo’s face turned dark. “It seems that we must make our move now, fast!”

“Little princess of the Jiang Family.” While Jiang Xiaoyue was complaining about the poor signal, a figure flew down from the sky. Nangong Zhuo stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, looking cold and indifferent. “We meet again.”

The presence that he emitted was much more powerful than ordinary cultivators, and Li Lanruo was forced to take a step back subconsciously while yelling in alarm, “Are you a member of the Nangong Family?”

“You again?” Jiang Xiaoyue said in displeasure, “What do you want?”

“Hand over your communication jade and this woman of the Li Family,” Nangong Zhuo said, “After that, you can continue with the academy exam and play with another communication jade, Princess. We won’t interfere with anything you do.”

“You even want to take my communication jade?!” Jiang Xiaoyue yelled angrily.

The disciples of the Nangong Family beside them snickered. “Princess Your Highness, I advise you to hand over your communication jade and the woman behind you right now. If you force our young master to make a move, you will ‘eat a nasty fruit’!”

“Who wants to eat a nasty fruit?!” Jiang Xiaoyue snorted, “Why are you so smug?”

“If that’s what you want.” Nangong Zhuo’s face turned livid since it was the first time that he received such a blatant refusal. “Then, I’ll teach you a lesson, reckless girl!”

While he spoke, Nangong Zhuo reached out his right hand, suddenly forming a huge hand condensed by dark clouds before Jiang Xiaoyue. The huge hand grasped toward the two girls with vicious force!
