I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 207 Three Teleportations

Prince Yaro never expected that the divine punishment he had deliberately kept secret from everyone, which he thought would burn the heretics to ashes, would instead strike him first!

Everyone naturally noticed the strangeness of the ghostly fire.

This eerie ghostly fire, seemingly possessing a life of its own, actually attacked them on its own initiative?

As the ghostly fire lunged at Prince Yaro, everyone's hearts tightened.

Just then, after a shout of "Rise!", everyone clearly felt that something in the air seemed to have changed.

The eerie ghostly fire seemed to be crashing into an invisible wall, unable to break in from the outside no matter what it did.

"This illusionary glass formation won't last long. Sister La Pei, please try performing the blessing dance again."

“Dancing alone may not be enough to ensure safety. Prince Yaro, why don’t you sing the prayer song?” Yu Heng thought of this and offered his opinion directly.

Prince Yaro, stunned by the strange occurrence, let out a blank "Ah!" and stared at everyone without any reaction.

Meanwhile, the dancer La Pei stood quietly beside Boss Qiu, motionless.

"Boss Qiu, what do you mean by this?" Yu Heng was furious!

How could he not see that, seeing that there was no immediate danger, Boss Qiu wanted to take advantage of the situation?

"My lord, I am as timid as a mouse, please do not frighten me. If you wish for my beloved concubine to dance for you all, that is fine. However..."

After saying "only," the fat man chuckled, revealing a friendly smile, but didn't utter another word.

"What exactly do you want?" Yu Heng asked through gritted teeth, suppressing his anger.

"I don't ask for much, I just hope you can give me a guarantee."

"What guarantee?"

"I have been extremely curious since childhood. The more strange and unusual things I encounter, the more I want to find out. What secrets does this temple hold? If I don't get an answer, I'm afraid I will lose my appetite and be unable to live a happy life in the future."

After rambling on and on about nothing in particular, Boss Qiu finally stated his requirements:

"But I also value my own life, and I hope that you will all agree that you will not lay a hand on me in the temple today!"

“Boss Qiu, you have done me a favor, so I will naturally not lay a hand on you.” Apart from Ji Zhongxuan, who had been standing the whole time, Luo Dalun, the only one sitting upright who had been resisting the pressure of the main hall, was the first to respond.

"Venerable Luo, there's no need to be so polite!" Unable to return the greeting, Boss Qiu offered a compliment, then turned his gaze to the silent Fei Xi:

"What does Elder Shouguang think?"

"As long as Boss Qiu doesn't harm me or my junior brothers and sisters, I will agree to Boss Qiu's request."

"Of course, of course!" Boss Qiu nodded repeatedly, then turned his gaze to Yu Heng and Dongfang Rui, who had not yet expressed their opinions.

"My lords, what has your decision been?"

"Hmph, since all you need is a promise, I will grant it," Yu Heng replied nonchalantly.

He couldn't help but wonder if this fat man had been scared into being stupid. What use was a promise that could be so easily broken?

Boss Qiu smiled amiably, his chubby face and sly eyes narrowing into slits with satisfaction. He turned to his dancers and gave the order:

"Lape, since all of you nobles have promised not to harm us, why don't you perform a dance for them?"

Seeing that his dancers had accepted the order and were ready, and recalling what Yu Heng had said, Boss Qiu began to call out to the absent-minded Prince Yaluo beside him.

"Prince Yaro, Prince Yaro?"

"What's the matter?"

“Prince Yarrow, you should remember how your high priests sing their prayer songs, shouldn’t you?”

Prince Yaro, holding his breath, thought for a moment before dryly threatening:

"...You also have to promise me that you won't hurt me, otherwise I won't cooperate with you."

"Throw him out. Once the flames outside have had their fill, they might not attack us anymore," Dongfang Rui suggested impatiently, his tone sinister.

"Don't throw me out!!! I promise you." Prince Yaro was terrified and shouted in fear, afraid that Fei Xi would hear him and actually do as Dongfang Rui said.

"Hmph, it should have been done long ago!"

After a while of this commotion, Prince Yaro, with a slight sob in his voice, agreed to sing a prayer song for everyone, and the early-arrived music and dance blessing ceremony finally began to get down to business.

Fei Xi turned her gaze away from the mural, sat down next to her junior sister, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at La Pei, who was dancing.

The dimly lit hall was illuminated only by two oil lamps.

Lape, dressed in a red dance costume, danced gracefully to the chanting of Prince Yaro's prayer.

The red light flickered in the firelight, like a vibrant and passionate flame.

Her graceful, ethereal figure seemed unbound by gravity. Her skirt billowed, her ribbons fluttered, and her long sleeves danced in the air, like snowflakes drifting in the sky or tumbleweeds swirling in the wind.

“God, hear my prayer: I prostrate myself before Your glorious light, praying with the deepest reverence and gratitude. You are the Creator of the vast universe, holding up the stars with your mighty hand, and watching over all things with loving eyes. Your wisdom is unfathomable, and Your grace falls like sweet rain, healing wounds and comforting hearts; Your love is like an everlasting light, dispelling darkness and giving hope. Even though I am as insignificant as a speck of dust, You have always accepted me with boundless mercy, guiding me through the fog of life. I praise You, I extoll Your holy name, and may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven… All things sin, and I beg You to forgive us again, to give all hearts that yearn for redemption, and to forgive our sins…”

After the long and tedious prayer ended, Lape's dance steps gradually slowed down.

Just as La Pei stopped dancing, a blinding light suddenly burst forth from the mural on the left wall.

A blazing white light covered the entire hall, then shot straight out of the door like an arrow, instantly suppressing the eerie blue flames.

Just like swatting a fly, the blazing white light extinguished the eerie ghostly fire in an instant.

Just as everyone was still adjusting to the bright light, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

The figure, holding Fei Xi hostage, charged straight toward the central wall.

Surprisingly, the two of them passed through the wall and disappeared without a trace!

Once everyone's eyes adjusted to the white light, they were astonished to find that three white halos had appeared on the wall that originally had three murals.

Boss Qiu suddenly leaped up from the ground and simultaneously swung out both palms at Yu Heng and Dongfang Rui.

The palm strike was sharp as a blade and was about to hit him. Yu Heng, who had just regained his mobility, hurriedly raised the golden mace in his hand to retaliate.

However, to his horror, he was unable to raise his hand; he simply could not lift the golden mace to strike Boss Qiu!

Dongfang Rui, who was behind him, also noticed the problem.

Just as Dongfang Rui was about to raise his iron pen to unleash his power, he was shocked to find that as soon as he raised his hand, his entire body was suppressed, and he could no longer use any moves.

At this critical moment, a Heavenly Gang Palm strike from not far away completely neutralized the two palm winds that were attacking them.

Meanwhile, Boss Qiu and his group, along with their subordinates, had already disappeared into the circle of light on the far left of the wall while the others were still in shock.

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?" Only then did Dongfang Rui realize that Boss Qiu clearly knew more about this hall than any of them.

"Chase!"

Yu Heng's expression was stern as he stepped into the light circle on the left.

Dongfang Rui cast a grateful glance at Ji Zhongxuan, looked at the central halo, and ultimately followed Yu Heng to the left.

"Senior Brother Ji, who just took Senior Sister away? Let's go after them!"

"It's Qiu Shuying, whom I injured." Ji Zhongxuan's expression was solemn. He paused for a moment, then continued:

"I reckon it doesn't matter which way you go, these three circles of light are three doors, but where they lead is ever-changing."

"Senior brother, do you mean that even if we take the middle route, we still can't catch up with senior sister?"

Mu Qingfeng immediately became anxious:

"What should we do? If she falls into that wicked woman's hands, Senior Sister's chances of survival are slim!"

"Young Master Ji, tell me, which way shall we go next? Wherever you go, I will accompany you to the very end."

"Thank you, Elder Luo! Let's go this way." Ji Zhongxuan took Mu Qingfeng's hand and prepared to head towards the central circle of light.

Luo Dalun followed the two men, asking as they walked:

"To be honest, I've always felt something was off. Now that they've all left, I wanted to ask Young Master Ji if he felt the same way."

"Please tell me."

"Young hero and I are the only ones who didn't lie down directly under the oppressive force of the main hall. I observed that those who lay down could barely move a finger. But as I sat, I could feel my body slowly adapting to the pressure. Given enough time, I feel I can definitely stand up again once my body gets used to it..."
