Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

It was night.

The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse.

In the southwest of Yujing City, a streak of purple light suddenly rose, its brilliance resembling the aurora borealis in the far north.

Immediately afterward, a violent tremor came from the southwest.

The tremor spread rapidly, sweeping across the entire Yujing City with the speed of lightning.

Instantly, the people of Yujing City, who were in their dreams, were all awakened, running out of their houses in panic, restless and frightened, like startled quails.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened!"

"An earthquake!"

Qin Qiulan hurriedly ran to Zhou Haochen's bedroom, and only after seeing that Zhou Haochen was safe and sound did she pat her chest and breathe a long sigh of relief.

Because she had come in too much of a hurry, she didn't even have time to put on her shoes. Her slender, pink jade feet stepped on the cold bluestone floor, her skin as white as snow, appearing exceptionally crystal clear and translucent under the bright moonlight, as if carved from a piece of white jade.

"Aunt Lan, I'm fine!"

"Where did the earthquake happen?"

Zhou Haochen asked with a frown, a deep worry rising between his brows.

The tremor in the capital was so strong, it seemed that the source of the earthquake was not far from Yujing City.

This was not a good sign!

The earth veins near Yujing City were suppressed by dragon energy, and there was also the Xuanyuan Sword guarding it. How could there be an earthquake?

An earthquake in the capital was often a sign of a country's impending doom, and that a demon would appear.

But...

The Dayu Dynasty had been established for a hundred years and was still flourishing.

Emperor Qian Yuan was the number one expert on the逍遥榜 and was invincible.

Not to mention that there was also the immortal artifact Xuanyuan Sword suppressing the nation's fortune.

No matter how you looked at it, there was no sign of the country's demise.

Zhou Haochen paced back and forth anxiously, and soon the servants brought news.

It was in the direction of Wanping County!

No wonder the tremor was so strong.

At the same time, this also made Zhou Haochen worried.

Starting tomorrow, rumors would definitely spread in Yujing City.

At this moment, Zhou Haochen's brow tingled, and in his sea of consciousness, the Bagua Diagram shone with golden light, revealing two hexagrams.

[Earth Wind: Supreme Auspicious Hexagram. Because of the earth vein changes, the formation has flaws, and the Yaksha ghost's aura is leaking. Go to the garden pond to suppress the Yaksha ghost and obtain a fifth-grade expandable opportunity, great luck.]

[Fire Wind: Inauspicious Hexagram. If the Yaksha ghost is left alone without taking any action, the Yaksha ghost will absorb the earth vein's Yin energy and gradually grow, eventually becoming a disaster, minor misfortune.]

Yaksha Ghost!

The moment he saw the hexagrams, Zhou Haochen's pupils under the black silk narrowed sharply, and two rays of light burst out.

It was actually a Yaksha ghost!

Zhou Haochen had not forgotten the Yaksha Soul Inquiry secret technique.

The Yaksha Soul Inquiry secret technique required the assistance of a Yaksha ghost to cultivate.

Previously, Zhou Haochen did not have a Yaksha ghost, so he could not cultivate it.

According to the original plan, Zhou Haochen planned to go to the Nine Netherworld to try his luck.

He didn't expect that there would be a Yaksha ghost under Prince Wu's mansion.

"Aunt Lan, Old He, follow me to the back garden and take a look!"

"There seems to be something wrong in the back garden!"

Zhou Haochen ordered, and in the confused expressions of Qin Qiulan and Helian Hai, he came to the back garden.

"Eh—the Yin energy in the pond is so strong!"

"Something's not right!"

Helian Hai was indeed a Dao cultivator of the Upper Three Realms, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong in the pond.

At the same time, Helian Hai secretly sighed in his heart.

Your Highness came to the back garden for no reason. Could it be that there was a treasure in the pond that triggered the induction of Your Highness's Myriad Treasure Spirit Body?

With a heart full of doubt and excitement, Helian Hai formed a hand seal.

"Rise!"

A sharp shout rang out.

The pond, which occupied half an acre, was directly emptied by Helian Hai.

The water in the pond seemed to be subjected to an invisible force, and was dragged up, suspended in mid-air.

As the water was drained, the situation at the bottom of the pond was revealed.

A water prison!

The periphery of the water prison was also arranged with a formation, but it was unknown whose work it was.

"Your Highness, I'll go down and take a look!"

Helian Hai entered the water prison, sensed the flow of spiritual energy in the formation, and his brows furrowed.

"This formation is secretly in accordance with the art of Qimen Dunjia, with the eight gates constantly changing positions, extremely mysterious."

"The person who arranged this formation is definitely an expert!"

Helian Hai sighed slightly, feeling troubled in the face of the formation outside the water prison.

If he wanted to find the Gate of Life and break the formation, he would not be able to do it for a while.

If he used brute force to violently break the formation, Helian Hai was worried about damaging the treasure in the water prison.

This made Helian Hai a little embarrassed.

[Six Yin Black Fiend Formation: One of the Qimen Dunjia formations, mainly used to trap enemies. After three breaths, the Gate of Life is located in the southeast.]

Seeing the prompt on the hexagrams, the corners of Zhou Haochen's mouth rose slightly, unable to suppress it.

The Bagua Diagram was just too powerful.

Unfortunately, the Bagua Diagram reacted passively, and he could not use it actively.

Three breaths passed in a flash.

Zhou Haochen suddenly spoke, saying to Helian Hai.

"Old He, the southeast!"

Helian Hai was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted, and in a flash of lightning, he struck out a thunderbolt, bombarding the southeast of the formation.

Boom—

The thunderbolt exploded.

The formation was broken.

"It's broken?"

Helian Hai was shocked and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness, how did you see the Gate of Life?"

"Maybe I'm blind, and my intuition is far beyond ordinary people."

"Blind? Intuition far beyond ordinary people?"

"I'm also blind, why don't I have this intuition?"

"Could it be that you have to be born blind to have amazing intuition? Does a blind person who becomes blind later have bad intuition?" Helian Hai muttered in his heart, almost cursing the heavens for being unfair.

The formation was broken, and the gate of the water prison was easily opened.

The Yaksha ghost appeared in front of Zhou Haochen.

Seeing the Yaksha ghost, Zhou Haochen was stunned for a moment.

Because the Yaksha ghost's appearance was somewhat different from the legends.

In the legends, the Yaksha ghost had a blue face and fangs, and a head of red hair, looking ferocious.

But the Yaksha ghost in front of him was a beautiful young woman with a delicate face and plump figure, her body almost transparent, with a pitiful temperament.

"Your Highness, it's a Yaksha ghost!"

"It seems to have been sealed for many years and is in its weakest state!"

"It can be subdued with the Soul Summoning Banner."

Helian Hai said in a deep voice.

His words were exactly what Zhou Haochen wanted.

He summoned the Soul Summoning Banner, a small black flag, held in Zhou Haochen's hand.

With a gentle wave, the Soul Summoning Banner burst out with rich Yin energy.

For a time, Yin winds raged in the dungeon, and Yin energy soared into the sky.

This rich Yin energy was simply a tonic for the Yaksha ghost, whose vitality was greatly damaged.

Without Zhou Haochen using force to subdue it, the Yaksha ghost relied on its survival instinct and extreme desire for Yin energy, and plunged into the Soul Summoning Banner.

After entering the Soul Summoning Banner, an imprint appeared in the Soul Summoning Banner and struck into the Yaksha ghost.

The Yaksha ghost was even unable to resist and directly became one of the Soul Summoning Banner's soul slaves.

The entire process of subduing the Yaksha ghost was smooth, free and easy, as easy as going on an outing.

No wonder the Soul Summoning Banner was regarded as the sect's treasure by the Ghost Spirit Sect.

In the matter of subduing Yin souls, the Soul Summoning Banner was definitely in a unique class among the divine forbidden treasures.

"Your Highness, there is also a female corpse in the water prison."

Qin Qiulan said, walking towards the female corpse, squatting down, and after examining it, she finally determined the identity of the female corpse.

"Your Highness, this female corpse should be a concubine of the former Prince Wu. I don't know what mistake she made, but she was imprisoned in the water prison and tortured to death."

"So it's Prince Wu's concubine!"

Zhou Haochen's voice trailed off a bit.

The former Prince Wu had good taste!
