The Emperor is kidnapped, and the useless daughter destroys the three realms

Chapter 518: Three Continental Hearts

She curled her lips and stopped moving forward. Instead, she stood there with her arms folded and began to look around the layout of the room.

After a long time, Ruan Xihe took out a stack of talismans with his left hand, and with his right hand, he flicked the talismans out one by one like dealing cards.

Talismans were scattered around the room.

"pat-"

Ruan Xihe snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the talismans scattered around the room exploded together, and the flames and smoke shot up into the sky, engulfing the entire room.

Ruan Xihe stood quietly in the middle of the room, neither hurried nor slow, neither too slow nor too slow, emitting a calm aura.

The flames caused by the explosion ignited the furnishings in the room, and the flames tended to grow bigger and bigger.

But the next second, the fire and smoke in the room suddenly disappeared.

It was like the explosion had never happened and the room looked brand new.

Ruan Xihe raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of surprise on her delicate little face.

She groaned, her beautiful eyes lit up, her tone was full of interest, and you could hear that she couldn't hide her excitement, "It's actually a formation within a formation..."

Ruan Xihe curled the corners of his lips and began to walk around the room to check.

A quarter of an hour later.

She was standing in front of a cabinet.

The cabinet is plain, but there is a vase on the top.

The vase was empty, with nothing in it, but Ruan Xihe stared at the vase with the corners of his mouth becoming more and more curved.

"Crack—" She stretched out her finger and flicked it lightly, without even using any force, and the vase cracked under her fingertips.

at the same time.

There was a soft 'hum' sound.

The scene in the room began to become real and unreal, changing back and forth continuously.

Although the appearance of the room has not changed much, the feeling it gives people is different from before and has become much more real.

At this moment, a sound of something breaking through the air was heard from behind.

Ruan Xihe had no time to dodge and could only slightly turn sideways to avoid the thing attacking from behind.

A thorny flower passed by her.

At this time, the formation in the house had been broken and the room returned to its original appearance.

The vase that Ruan Xihe had broken before was just an illusion in the formation, so at this moment, the real vase reappeared on the top of the cabinet in its original state.

After the flower branch brushed past Ruan Xihe's shoulder, it fell steadily into the vase.

There are still bright dewdrops hanging on the petals, which means they must have been freshly picked. If you look closely, you can see that the stems of the flowers are stained with a lot of glaring red.

That was Ruan Xihe's blood.

the other side.

After Ruan Xihe stood firm, he immediately felt a burning pain in his shoulder.

She turned her head and saw that the clothes on her shoulders had been torn by the barbs on the flower stem, and blood was oozing out from under her skin.

"The response was quick."

A faint laugh, whose gender was indistinguishable, came from behind.

Ruan Xihe turned around and saw a man in snow-white clothes and a mask walking towards her with a bored look on his face.

"Is this the city lord's test?" Ruan Xihe pulled down the clothes on his shoulders nonchalantly to cover the scars where his skin was turned inside out by the barbs of the flower branches.

"test?"

The man paused and was stunned for a moment.

After realizing what was going on, he didn't answer directly, but laughed softly.

"You are the first outsider to see me."

He walked straight past Ruan Xihe, went to the cabinet, took out the flowers in the vase and looked at them.

After noticing the bright red stains on the thorns on the flower's branches, he broke off the thorns one by one, then threw the flower aside and walked towards the chair in the room.

He said, “Come over and talk.”

Ruan Xihe followed him over, and at the man's gesture, she sat on another chair nearby.

The man propped up his face and said with interest: "About a year ago, I also met a woman who knew formations in Nanzhou. So, she is a bit like you..."

Ruan Xihe: “…” It was when she set up the soul-shocking formation.

"Let me think, it seems to be in the southern part of Nanzhou, called something like Dark Moon Forest..." The man paused and said with a smile, "You happen to be from there too, right?"

Ruan Xihe knew that since he had already said it, there was no point in not admitting it, so he nodded.

When the man saw that she did not deny it, his handsome eyebrows under the mask frowned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ruan Xihe calmly brought the topic back to the topic, "The city lord is asking this, is it related to the prophecy?"

Hearing this, the man lowered his eyes and said, "I know you are here for the prophecy. A year ago, wasn't I also here for the prophecy?"

"The prophecy indicated that the destined person was in Nanzhou, but I searched for a long time and couldn't find him."

"The destined person?" Ruan Xihe was puzzled.

The man shrugged and explained, "You can understand it as someone who is related to the prophecy. In the words of your Nanzhou Academy, it means someone who has received the dean's order."

"The destined person in the prophecy is a formation master, but let alone Nanzhou, I have searched all over the other two continents and have not seen a single formation master, so when I saw that you knew formations, I was indeed surprised."

"But you didn't show up at that time, which means I'm not the destined person you're looking for." Ruan Xihe said, "If that's the case, why did I get the dean's order?"

"Just because it wasn't then doesn't mean it isn't now."

The man chuckled and shook his head.

"At that time, I did confirm again and again, and found that although you are a formation master, you are not the person I am looking for. But when I saw you again this time, you were very different from a year ago..."

Ruan Xihe frowned, "So whether it's the formation outside the city or the formation in the room today, they are all tricks you use to test whether I am the destined person?"

"A trick? That's too harsh." The man disagreed. "I already knew it when you appeared in the dark zone. I set up the formation just to see if your formation skills have declined."

"After all, the formation has disappeared for many years, and you don't have a place in Nanzhou where you can learn from a master. If you can't even solve the formation I set, then there is no need to know the truth of the prophecy..."

Ruan Xihe understood the man's hidden meaning, "So, you mean that completing the prophecy is also related to the formation?"

The man nodded.

"Is it at the Sacrifice Spirit Conference?"

"Yes."

"What does the 'heart' mentioned in the prophecy refer to?"

"Zhou Xin."

Ruan Xihe frowned.

She had never heard of the term.

"The heart of a continent is the source of energy for a continent." Seeing that she was puzzled, the man explained, "Each continent has its own heart of a continent."

"You need to obtain the cores of the three continents, and then use the formation to merge the three cores at the Spiritual Sacrifice Conference, so that the three continents can be combined into one continent. This will complete the prophecy."
