62: Kidnapped

“You mean, are we really going to do this? What if we get discovered…?” Someone asked uncertainly.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Did Chen Xuan give you some benefits? You’re so scared!”

“Exactly, we are originally nails placed by the Gao family. If we’re exposed, we just go back to the Gao family, or go out and avoid the limelight for a bit. It’s no big deal!”

“Sigh, I never thought that person would directly activate us just for a small Chen Xuan. It’s such a waste of talent!”

“Alright, now is the best opportunity. Zhao Lingwu is out now, so this is the best time for us to act! Let’s move! Remember, do not harm him in the slightest. That person has other uses for him!”

“Yes!”

…

At this moment, Chen Xuan was cultivating in the cultivation room. Suddenly, he felt the protective Formation in the courtyard automatically activate.

Along with it came a strange fragrance.

“This is Illusory Dream Powder!? Someone wants to make a move on me!”

“I claimed to have no cultivation to the outside world, yet they used Illusory Dream Powder. It seems they don’t intend to harm me. Anyway, I can enter the Secret Realm at any time, so I might as well play along…”

After a quick thought, Chen Xuan took out a Medicinal Pill, swallowed it, then deactivated the Formation and feigned unconsciousness.

Soon, two or three masked black-clad figures walked in. Although it was abrupt in broad daylight, no one in the Zhao family discovered them.

“I didn’t expect the Formation in that courtyard to be so troublesome. Luckily, we got out quickly, otherwise, we really would have been delayed!”

“Did, did we really get out? Why do I feel like I just inexplicably came out!?”

“Alright, time is urgent, hurry up and act! Just tie him up and take him to the location that person mentioned!” The leader urged.

Subsequently, the three black-clad figures skillfully tied Chen Xuan. Seeing that he was an ordinary person, they did not seal his acupoints with Spiritual Qi.

Then they blindfolded Chen Xuan with a black cloth, took him out of the courtyard quickly, and directly broke through the air to leave the Zhao family.

Chen Xuan appeared to be unconscious, but in reality, he was secretly sensing the direction the black-clad figures were taking him. He wanted to find out who was secretly plotting against him, with Qin Feng being the most likely suspect.

After all, Qin Feng was his only enemy here. If he really dared to have someone kidnap him, then he wouldn’t mind sending him to the afterlife!

The black-clad figures took Chen Xuan to a remote mountain Immortal Cave. Chen Xuan felt that the surrounding environment was very damp, and the air was filled with moisture and a fishy smell.

Inside the Immortal Cave, a majestic-looking elder was already waiting.

“Have they all been brought?” The elder asked in a deep, cold voice.

“Yes, sir, we have brought Chen Xuan here.” The black-clad figures respectfully replied.

The elder nodded: “Well done!” After speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the black-clad figures to retreat.

After the black-clad figures left, the elder examined Chen Xuan, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“This kid, clearly without cultivation, why would he be so highly regarded by… that noble person? Could it be that she values his talent? Or is there another hidden reason?”

The elder thought for a moment but ultimately couldn’t figure it out. He decided to take Chen Xuan to the designated location first.

After all, that person’s temper was too fiery. If he acted slowly, he would most likely be punished by her.

So, with a wave of his large hand, a powerful Spiritual Qi lifted Chen Xuan, carrying him swiftly towards a distant mountain peak.

Chen Xuan felt the elder’s Spiritual Qi fluctuations and was secretly astonished: “This elder’s cultivation is probably extremely profound. No wonder he dares to act in the Zhao family’s territory!”

Chen Xuan pondered how to deal with the elder, while also secretly observing the surrounding environment.

The elder brought Chen Xuan to a mountain peak, where there was a huge Immortal Cave.

In front of the Immortal Cave, two guards were standing guard.

“Sir!” The guards respectfully saluted the elder.

The elder nodded and handed Chen Xuan over to the guards: “Take him in and hand him over to that noble person. I have other things to do.”

The guards took Chen Xuan and led him into the Immortal Cave.

Soon after, Chen Xuan was brought before a secret chamber.

Then he felt a wave of fluctuations, and suddenly, the surroundings opened up to a scene of birds singing and flowers fragrant, with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant, clearly a treasure land for Cultivating.

“This is… a Secret Realm?”

Chen Xuan was shocked. He never expected that the so-called noble person would bring him into a Secret Realm! Then her identity was obvious!

It was Zhou Jingyi!

He never thought this little girl was so petty as to dare to kidnap him into a Secret Realm. This time, he would definitely make her suffer and teach her a good lesson!

After the guards brought him into the Secret Realm, after several twists and turns, they finally arrived at an extremely luxurious place, and then he was thrown into the dungeon there.

Not long after, a figure slowly appeared before him. Immediately after, a woman’s charming voice came from beside his ear.

“I didn’t expect you to fall for it so easily. I thought you were much more formidable!”

Chen Xuan opened his eyes and clearly saw the woman in front of him.

This woman had an exquisite face, a pair of eyes that seemed capable of captivating souls, and a graceful figure. She was wearing a golden palace dress that perfectly showcased her flawless physique.

Gao Yueting reference (delete if infringing)

This woman was none other than Consort Gao Yueting, Gao Yueting.

“Consort Gao Yueting, your Illusory Dream Powder is indeed formidable. I’ve truly witnessed it this time!” Chen Xuan smiled faintly, appearing completely unconcerned.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Gao Yueting’s beautiful eyes.

“You know I sent people to kidnap you, aren’t you afraid I’ll make a move on you?”

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head: “If I cried and begged you, would you let me go?”

“No.”

“Then that’s it. Consort, you only ordered me to be tied up; you didn’t harm me. So I guess I still have value to you, Consort.”

“I have to say, you are quite clever. But why do you think I would spare your life and negotiate with me?” Gao Yueting looked at Chen Xuan with interest, as if wanting to see through his thoughts.

“You’ve already paid such a huge price, offending the Xuan Yang Sect, offending the Gao family, and then it’s just to kill me? If you really wanted to kill me, you would have acted directly in the Zhao family. Why go to such lengths!”

Chen Xuan smiled indifferently.

Gao Yueting also smiled faintly upon hearing this:

“You’re quite clever, but I can’t be blamed for this. Who told you to stand out so much in the Zhao family? It’s hard for us not to notice you, Zhao Lingwu’s little man!”

“So, what exactly does Consort want me to do?”

“Do you want to know?”

“Of course.”

Gao Yueting waved her hand, dismissing the attendants who had followed her. Only the two of them remained in the dungeon.

Then she suddenly leaned close to Chen Xuan, her breath like orchids: “Because I’m also very curious about you, and…”
