Chapter 177 Xiao Kai was controlled by someone
"I have also heard of this person. The profound formations he has mastered are comparable to those of my master," Feng Wuhen added.
Jiang Yimo frowned slightly, looked up at the formation above her head, and sighed softly: "So, the formation above our heads will not be broken for a while."
At this time, Feng Wuhen threw the torch in his hand to Anying, walked to her side, and comforted her: "Momo, don't worry. I will definitely find a way and will never let you get hurt."
She nodded slightly and said, "It's just that this formation is really powerful. I'm not good at it either. This time, I may really need you, Your Majesty."
Feng Wuhen pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "Momo, the way of formations, no matter how many changes there are, they remain essentially the same. As long as we find the flaws in the formations, we can break them. Although I have not learned the essence of formations from my master, I have been influenced by my master's study of formations since I was a child, and I have some experience in this. Let's observe carefully together, and we will definitely find a way to break the formation."
There was confidence in his voice, which gradually dissipated Jiang Yimo's uneasiness.
However, Xiao Kai on the side poured a bucket of cold water on Feng Wuhen.
"Evil King, Sister Jiang, Xiao Kai feels that the formation that Elder Xuanji set up above the Evil King's Mansion tonight is definitely not that simple."
There was a hint of worry in Xiaokai's tone, and his eyes were solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen frowned at the same time. They looked at each other and could see a hint of doubt and worry in each other's eyes.
Jiang Yimo couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Kai, why do you say that? Do you have any good ideas or insights?"
There was an eagerness in her voice, hoping to get some inspiration from Xiao Kai.
Xiao Kai answered without hesitation: "The formation that was set up above the Evil King's Mansion today is the same as the formation that enveloped me when I was at the Hundred Ghosts Gate. Their aura and movement are exactly the same."
After these words were spoken, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen's expressions became more solemn. They realized that Xiaokai might have experienced something unusual.
Jiang Yimo took a step forward, approached Xiao Kai, and asked with concern: "Xiao Kai, what did you encounter at the Hundred Ghosts Gate? What is so special about this formation?"
Xiao Kai took a deep breath and recalled the heart-wrenching past. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "We were trapped in that formation. In order to survive and fight for food, the killers killed each other."
"At the same time, there would be people deliberately knocking things outside the formation. We heard that sound inside the formation, like the sound of knocking a wooden fish. People would become crazy and painful, and we would feel helpless and scared. But fortunately, I held on."
There was a glimmer of relief in his eyes, but at the same time he also revealed a deep fear of the formation.
Feng Wuhen frowned even more tightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Based on what happened to Xiaokai, the formation set up by Elder Xuanji may be hiding a huge danger. We must all be careful and not take it lightly."
Jiang Yimo nodded, "We can't let them trap me to death here, and we must protect the Evil King's Mansion and everyone here. Xiaokai, do you have any suggestions for this formation?"
Jiang Yimo asked casually, not pinning her hopes on him.
However, the result surprised Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen. Xiao Kai thought about it for a while, and then said, "We can find the center of the formation first, and then we can find a way to break it. At the same time, we should strengthen the defense of the palace, just in case."
His suggestion was concise and wise, which surprised Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen.
Feng Wuhen patted Xiao Kai on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I will do as you suggest."
At this time, Feng Wuhen looked at him and asked, "Xiao Kai, where do you think this old man Xuanji would usually set the center of the formation?"
Xiao Kai was silent for a few seconds, as if he was trying hard to recall something.
His eyes became deep, as if he was traveling through the tunnel of time, looking for forgotten memories.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Kai accidentally heard from his superiors that Elder Xuanji likes to choose high places the most—"
There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, as if he was testing something.
However, before he could finish his words, a sound like knocking a wooden fish suddenly came from near the Evil King's Mansion.
When everyone heard this voice, they instantly fell silent.
Xiao Kai's body trembled violently, and his eyes became manic in an instant. He held his head with both hands and roared madly, like an enraged beast that had lost its mind.
Everyone was frightened by Xiao Kai's change and stepped back. They looked at him in horror and did not dare to approach him easily.
Xiaokai's roar was full of pain and despair, which made people feel sorry for him.
Feng Wuhen's expression became very solemn. He asked with concern: "Momo, does Xiaokai look like he is being controlled by someone?"
Jiang Yimo frowned, her heart filled with self-blame and regret. "He must have been poisoned. I was careless and fell into the enemy's trap."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Kai pounced on Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen. Fortunately, the two reacted quickly and successfully avoided Xiao Kai's attack.
When Shadow, Leng Mei and the others saw this scene, they dropped the torches in their hands, drew their swords, and prepared to subdue Xiao Kai.
However, at this critical moment, Jiang Yimo spoke again, with a hint of anxiety and pleading in her voice: "Your Highness, please be sure to tell your people not to let them hurt Xiao Kai, and try to focus on defense. Because, he...he is very likely my cousin."
Jiang Yimo's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present.
Feng Wuhen's face was filled with astonishment. He was about to ask something when he was interrupted by Jiang Yimo.
"Momo, you said Xiaokai is your cousin, so doesn't that mean he is General Gu's..." Feng Wuhen's words came to an abrupt end because of Jiang Yimo's response.
An indescribable complex look flashed across Jiang Yimo's eyes. She nodded vigorously and said in a slightly low voice, "Yes, Xiaokai is very likely my grandfather's grandson. I only learned this astonishing fact during the day."
Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of surprise and confusion. They exchanged glances, as if trying to understand this sudden news.
After a while, Feng Wuhen said, "Don't worry, we won't hurt him. However, judging from his current condition, he seems to have lost his mind. If he attacks us, he might get slightly injured."
Jiang Yimo also knew this. It was probably impossible to not hurt Xiao Kai and not get hurt at the same time, so she said, "It would be good if he could be saved."
