Chapter 482 Sensing the Power of Summoning

After listening to Ye Qingshuang's thoughts, Lin Chengtian thought for a moment and said, "Being able to create the legend of the Divine Jade doesn't seem like someone from the Nine Domains and Eighteen Continents."

Ye Qingshuang agreed with this point, but the rumors had been circulating for a long time, so it was impossible to know who it was. She said that casually, and there was no need to investigate it further.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi: "Now that we know the place, why don't we rest here for a day and then head over?"

"Mm," Ling Yi replied.

As they chatted, the waiter brought the food, and the four of them stopped talking and focused on eating.

There was a lot of food delivered. The four of them ate a little, and the rest all went into the little golden tiger's stomach. When the waiter came to clean up after they finished eating, he was shocked to see the clean plates. He thought the four of them had eaten them and had no idea that the little tiger lying in Ling Yi's arms had done it.

After the waiter finished tidying up, the group went back to their rooms to rest.

...

The next morning, after having breakfast, the group rode the little golden tiger to Peony City.

As night approached the next day, Little Golden Tiger stopped outside Peony City. The four of them dismounted from Little Golden Tiger's back and hurried toward the city gate. They thought that since it was not yet dark, the city gate would still be open, but to their surprise, the city gate was already closed.

"That's strange." Ye Qingshuang stood outside the tightly closed city gate, looking up at the sky. "It's not dark yet, why are the city gates closed so early?"

Baijiu also said, "It is indeed too early."

The cities they visited also had gates that closed early, but no matter how early, they always closed them after dark, not before dark.

Lin Chengtian asked, "Why are you locking up so early? Is something happening in the city?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang felt it wasn't impossible, and turned to Ling Yi: "Should we wait until dawn when the door opens before going in, or should we go in and take a look now?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi didn't answer but instead asked, "Didn't you smell it?"

"Hmm?" Ye Qingshuang, who was waiting for Ling Yi's reply, changed her expression upon hearing this and immediately released some of the power restriction. As the power restriction was released, the strong and pungent floral fragrance rushed into her nostrils, causing Ye Qingshuang to cough immediately. Not only that, she did not know whether it was because the floral fragrance was too strong or for some other reason, but she felt dizzy and lightheaded after smelling the fragrance for a short time.

After suffering, Ye Qingshuang quickly put the released restraints back on. Only after she could no longer smell the fragrance of the flowers did her dizziness and headache subside.

Seeing this, Ling Yi took out a Spirit Fruit and placed it on Ye Qingshuang's nose. The sweet fragrance of the Spirit Fruit entered her nasal cavity, dispelling her discomfort. Ye Qingshuang quickly took it and took a deep sniff.

After several repetitions, Ye Qingshuang finally recovered: "Much better."

Seeing Ye Qingshuang's discomfort, Baijiu couldn't help but ask, "Qingshuang, what happened to you just now?"

"The scent of flowers." Even though she had recovered, the thought of the floral fragrance she had just smelled made Ye Qingshuang's head start to ache again. She then looked at Ling Yi: "Ling Yi, were you unaffected?"

Ling Yi shook her head: "Apart from the fragrance, I didn't notice anything special about it."

"Something's not right..." Ye Qingshuang frowned. She was tortured like that after only smelling it for a short while, but Ling Yi could still smell it the whole time. He shouldn't be fine.

and many more!

Suddenly, Ye Qingshuang realized the reason and looked at Ling Yi: "I know why you're alright now."

Before Ling Yi and the other two could ask, Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi and said, "That flower fragrance is a kind of poison, but there is an even more poison in your body, which is why you are fine."

After listening to Ye Qingshuang's words, Ling Yi replied, "That should be the case."

Ye Qingshuang frowned: "The fragrance of those flowers can even affect me, let alone Ajiu and Chengtian."

“They can’t smell it.” Ling Yi looked at the city gate: “Based on what you just said, as long as they can’t smell it, it’s fine.”

“Indeed,” Ye Qingshuang said. “I didn’t smell it at first, but I could smell it after the restrictions were lifted. So, the people in the city should be fine?”

Ling Yi shook her head: "Not necessarily."

Moreover, even if ordinary people can't smell it and are unaffected, what about people with high cultivation levels?

Ye Qingshuang thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "I can't smell the fragrance of the flower until I lift the restriction. Judging from the power required to lift the restriction, there shouldn't be many people affected. But as time goes by, the restriction will definitely get lower and lower, and eventually ordinary people will also be affected."

After listening to Ye Qingshuang's explanation, Baijiu asked, "Is there no way to solve this?"

Even someone with cultivation couldn't stand the frost; if an ordinary person could smell it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ye Qingshuang didn't answer the question about the liquor; instead, she looked at Ling Yi.

Bai Jiu followed Ye Qingshuang's gaze, but unlike before, he didn't ask Ling Yi for help. If he wanted to save those ordinary people, he should do it himself, not have Ling Yi do it.

Ling Yi said, "The situation in the city is uncertain. It's not appropriate to take you all in with me. You wait for me outside while I go in to check the situation."

"Okay." Ye Qingshuang reminded him, "Be careful."

"Mm." Ling Yi responded without saying anything more, and led the little golden tiger into the city.

After Ling Yi left, Ye Qingshuang looked at Bai Jiu and Lin Chengtian with a solemn expression: "We have to go too."

"Why?" Baijiu asked, puzzled. "Isn't it fine as long as you don't go in?"

“No,” Ye Qingshuang said. “The fact that you can smell the fragrance here means that the fragrance has covered this area. You can’t smell it without using your power, but you can smell it once you use your power. It’s not appropriate to stay here. We must leave.”

Ye Qingshuang wasn't worried about Baijiu. Baijiu's cultivation was limited, so it couldn't smell the fragrance of flowers. Even if it mobilized the power of destiny, it still couldn't smell it because the power of destiny is a sealing power. But Lin Chengtian was different.

Lin Chengtian has a "Ling Yi" inside him. Once that "Ling Yi" is active, it will affect Lin Chengtian and make him smell the fragrance of flowers. Ye Qingshuang remembers that the "Ling Yi" did not have the poison in the current Ling Yi.

It's not poisonous, but to avoid being affected, you need spiritual energy to protect yourself, so it's better to stay away.

Lin Chengtian had no objection to this and looked at Ye Qingshuang, saying, "You can make the arrangements."

"Let's go then," Ye Qingshuang said, turning and heading away from the city.

Seeing this, Lin Chengtian and Baijiu followed.

On the other side, after Ling Yi flew into the city with the little golden tiger, he found that the city was shrouded in fog. The fog was so thick that people inside could not see each other's faces unless they were face to face, or even if they were only two meters apart.

"Master, there's something strange about this fog." The little golden tiger sniffed it. "The fragrance is also stronger."

"Hmm." Ling Yi responded, and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a familiar power.

Summoning power!

Ling Yi moved swiftly, rushing towards the direction from which the power originated.

Seeing Ling Yi speed up, the little golden tiger quickly tightened its paws to avoid falling, while also asking, "Master, what's wrong?"

"I've sensed the summoning power," Ling said as he continued on his way. "It's just ahead."

Upon hearing this, Little Golden Tiger stopped asking questions and said, "Master, let's hurry over."
