The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Chapter 1334

Chapter 1334: Familiar
Everything happened too suddenly. When the few of them recovered their senses, they were already all trapped inside the Xuan formation.
The entire Xuan formation was semi-circular and trapped the few of them in the center. It shone with a dark-blue, cold icy light, which sent chills down one’s spine.
“W-what is this?” an elder couldn’t help but mutter softly and rapidly surveyed their surroundings. “Someone was hiding here to ambush?! Why did we not detect it at all beforehand?”
“This Xuan formation should’ve been set up here in advance,” said Elder Hua Feng in a low voice. “We only activated it automatically after we walked over.”
Any crafting and creation of Xuan formations required time and energy. The higher the Xuan formation’s level, the more it was so.
The Xuan formation that trapped them here had appeared very quickly, so it had clearly been prepared in advance.
“Who would set up such a trap here?”
Out of all these elders, only Elder Hua Feng was a Xuan Master. The others were warriors, so at this point, everyone looked at him instinctively.
The snowfield was vast, and one couldn’t see the end of it.
Even if there really was someone who wanted to ambush them, why must they choose such a place? What if they didn’t come over? Would it not be in vain?
…
Elder Hua Feng held the green jade plaque in his hands tightly. “It seems like someone purposely hid Bo Yan’s plaque here to lure us over.”
Once he said this, the few elders instantly understood, and they became even more worried. If it really was so, won’t that mean that Elder Bo Yan and the others’ situation is also very worrying?
“Let’s put all of this aside first and think of how to get out of here.” Elder Hua Feng looked up slightly and saw the Xuan formation above his head. Then, he slowly knitted his brows.
This caused the few people who put all their hopes on him to feel anxious as well.
After some time, an elder tried to ask softly, “Hua Feng, is there a way to solve this Xuan formation?”
Elder Hua Feng lowly replied, “This was created by a Grandmaster Xuan Master.”
“What?” When the others heard this, their expressions changed in unison.
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes slightly. Above ninth-grade Xuan Masters are King Xuan Masters. Above the latter are Great King Xuan Masters. From what I know, Elder Hua Feng is at such a level. And Grandmaster Xuan masters… are terrifying existences of an even higher level! In the entire Ling Xiao Academy, there aren’t even more than ten such Xuan Masters in 10,000 years!
One just had to think to know how difficult it was to solve this Xuan formation! Even if Elder Hua Feng was an elite in the academy, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with this.
“Grandmaster… Then, we won’t be able to get out anymore, right?” an elder muttered softly in a daze.
“Hua Feng, do you have any confidence in escaping from here?” This was undoubtedly the question they cared about the most.
Elder Hua Feng closed his eyes and had a solemn expression. “I… don’t know either.”
“Aren’t you just a step away from breaking through to become a Grandmaster?” Another elder held onto the last speck of hope and meticulously asked, “You should be able to solve it, right?”
Elder Hua Feng bitterly laughed. “A step away is still one step away. Besides, this step requires one to pass through the barrier!”
He had remained as a Great King Xuan Master for many years and knew very clearly how difficult it was to take this step forward. Compared to other Great King Xuan Masters, he might indeed be slightly stronger, but he was still worlds apart from a Grandmaster Xuan Master.
How could it be that easy to fill the gap?
“Besides, even if I can solve it in the end, we also have to see how much time it’ll take. It’s fine if it’s a few days, but what if it’s a month or even three months?”
They couldn’t keep waiting here like this.
Suffocating silence filled the air.
“Forget it. Let me give it a try.” Elder Hua Feng clenched his teeth. “If I really can’t do it, let’s see if I can use another method to get us out forcefully.”
Then, he held his breath in and focused on studying that Xuan formation.
The other people didn’t dare to disturb him as they quietly waited at the side.
Chu Liuyue looked up as well and studied the Xuan formation in detail. For some reason, I actually feel that this Xuan formation seems familiar… However, I can confirm that I’ve never seen this Xuan formation before.
Like Elder Hua Feng had said, this Xuan formation was created by a Grandmaster. It was by far the most complicated and difficult Xuan formation Chu Liuyue had seen, not one of them. This made the sense of familiarity in her heart even stranger.
Chu Liuyue looked calm, but her brain started turning rapidly. Where does this sense of familiarity come from…
…
Snow quickly fell from the skies, and the harsh winds pricked their bones.
If they stayed at the same spot and didn’t move, it was even easier for them to be cold.
That gust of harsh air seemed to be able to pass through their skin and directly pierce their bones like many small needles, causing one to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Luckily, Chu Liuyue had Tuan Zi, so she could basically avoid such pains.
However, the other elders didn’t have it as easy as her. If they wanted to defend themselves against the cold, they had to burn their force. Hence, although they looked like they were just resting there on the surface, the force in their bodies was actually rapidly depleting every second and minute.
This time, they directed even more complicated gazes at Chu Liuyue. Originally, they thought that she was a burden, but who would’ve expected them to be the ones dragging everyone behind in the end!?
Detecting the elders’ gazes, Chu Liuyue turned around to take a look. Looking at their ears and cheeks that were going red from the cold, her heart tingled.
If it weren’t because she was worried that Tuan Zi’s identity would be exposed, she really wanted to help them.
On the other side, Elder Hua Feng was still standing rooted to the ground as if he were frozen while staring at the Xuan formation in front of him closely.
The rays of light moved with secret ripples.
