Chapter 178 Dark Silk's Mission
While the Ye Luoli warriors were at a loss because they couldn't open the door to chase after Hei Xiangling, no one noticed that Mo Xiao and An Ling hadn't followed at all.
Looking at the giant book in front of her, Mo Xiao asked An Ling with some confusion, "Ling, what are we still doing standing here? Aren't we leaving Floating Cloud Tower with them?"
"Xiaoxiao, we're here on a mission." Anling said somewhat helplessly, "Since they're out now, I'll give it a try."
"Oh, right, I forgot." Mo Xiao smiled and scratched her head. "Then you can start now."
"Ye Luoli Magic, Dark Feather Staff!" An Ling summoned her staff, and a beam of light shot straight towards the giant book: "I am An Ling, the gatekeeper of the Floating Cloud Tower Fairy Bank. With the key's authorization, I allow Prince Shui Qingli to enter the Floating Cloud Tower!"
The next moment, an illusory door of benevolence appeared above the giant book, and the door opened.
Shui Qingli sensed An Ling's location and naturally became aware of the opened Heart Gate. After confirming the exact location, he passed through the water passage and entered the Floating Cloud Tower.
"If it weren't for you guys here to help, this place would have been really difficult to get into." As soon as Shui Qingli landed, she saw the towering Cloud Tower's inner chamber, with bookshelves so full that they seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.
"My lord." Mo Xiao and An Ling bowed in greeting.
An Ling joined Shui Qingli's ranks because she couldn't betray him, while Mo Xiao simply thanked Shui Qingli for saving An Ling and thus became his subordinate.
Shui Qingli still remembered that when he came to Fuyun Tower last time, he sensed two different forbidden powers. One of them was Xingchen, a ninth-level magician who was imprisoned, while the origin of the other was unknown.
Just recently, Xin Ling, through his schemes, met the end of her previous life, with her primordial spirit dissipating. These little fairies are much easier to fool than Xin Ling, so he has a chance to search for them.
"I wonder what brings you to Floating Cloud Tower, my lord?" An Ling couldn't understand Shui Qingli's intentions.
Shui Qingli doesn't have a mirror-like constitution, so she can't possibly be here to steal magic like the Blue Peacock.
"I'm looking for something." Shui Qingli didn't want to explain further. He stretched out his hand, and blue-black fairy power gradually formed in his palm: "Ye Luoli Magic, Forbidden Power!"
"Water droplets condense, immortal power originates from the same source, sense it!" Immortal power instantly spread outwards, gradually becoming unclear, but filling the inner chamber of Floating Cloud Tower.
Shui Qingli closed her eyes, sensing the same forbidden power she had detected before through the same forbidden power, wanting only to see what was hidden in the Floating Cloud Tower.
"Ling, what is the master doing?" Mo Xiao asked curiously, noticing that Shui Qingli didn't seem to be looking for something.
“I’m not entirely sure about the specifics, but if we’re looking for a power of the same origin, the best way is to release our immortal power to sense it,” An Ling explained to Mo Xiao. “However, this method consumes a lot of immortal power, and I’ve never tried it before.”
"Okay, I think I understand," Mo Xiao said, seemingly confused.
After an unknown amount of time, Shui Qingli suddenly opened her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Found it."
The next moment, he reached out in a certain direction, and a book of destiny wrapped in immortal power fell from the high bookshelf to his front.
Because it was not retrieved through the giant book, the condition that prevented the book from being opened when it was stored was not triggered, so the giant book remained untouched.
"Whose secret is this?" Shui Qingli looked at the book, which was still closed, yet she could still sense a trace of forbidden power emanating from it, and couldn't help but feel curious.
However, this is not the time to explore this secret. Shui Qingli knows very well that in the fairy realm, forbidden power is absolutely forbidden. No matter what is in this book, once forbidden power leaks out, it will have a great impact.
So he decided to take the book to the Water Linglong Palace and then make other plans.
"Anling, what just happened?" Shui Qingli asked Anling, "Why did they all go out?"
“Hei Xiangling took Xinling away.” An Ling recalled what Hei Xiangling had just said: “She just said that only Queen Mandora could save Xinling.”
"I understand." Upon hearing what An Ling said, Shui Qingli immediately deduced that the scene where she would go to Mandora to find Princess Ling to revive Xin Ling was about to begin.
The resurrection of Xinling can be said to be a crucial part of Mandora's entire plan. She took this opportunity to trick several Lingxi Pavilion masters into giving her their immortal power, and weakened the power of the Spirit Princess with the Flower Breath Restoration Technique. Coupled with Li Hui's betrayal, this led to the fact that when she attacked the Lingxi Pavilion, the masters were almost completely defeated with little resistance.
However, this was exactly what Shui Qingli wanted, so there was no need to stop it. He said to Mo Xiao and An Ling, "Come with me, it won't be safe here for long."
“Okay.” Mo Xiao and An Ling both nodded, having no objections.
