Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist - Chapter 243
“This is the one, right?” Li Ming asked the five fake Immortals as she toyed with the palm-sized stone that was lying on the ground in front of her.
Who knew that it would take her more than an hour to find the core of the array in which she was trapped.
First, she encountered a dense mist that made it almost impossible for her to see anything.
And when she succeeded in taking care of the most with one of her spells, she found herself face to face with a seven feet tall Python that had huge fangs that were sharp enough to pierce through rocks.
The battle that started between her and the python left her clothes torn and her body full of scratches.
The python was just an illusion created by the array but that did not mean that it was not as lethal and dangerous as a real python.
It was a miracle that she found its weak spot and killed it within an hour, otherwise in reality, the fight could have lasted for hours.
Somehow, she made her way towards the powerful presence that was present at the very center of the array and that was when she found the stone that was the core of the array.
“Why are you playing with it?” The fake Hei Long asked as he observed her toying with the stone.
Li Ming stopped tapping her knuckles on the stone as she raised her head to look at the Immortal who was still bound to others with the magical rope.
“I’m a little confused. Isn’t it too obvious and simple to put the core of the array in a stone that could be found so easily?” She asked as she titled her head a little.
Her eyes staring at the stone as if it was going to answer her question.
However, she did receive an answer but rather than the stone, it was the fake Moin Immortal who replied.
“If a person can succeed in fighting off the fears that are lurking in the corners of their mind, if they can succeed in making their way out of the fog illusion and if they can also succeed in killing the python, there’s no need to test that person’s potential anymore.”
“The quickly you can pass these three stages, the easier it will be for you to find the core. Since it took you barely a few hours to pass these tasks, you found the core easily.”
Li Ming was silent as she thought about what she just learned from the fake Lord Yueliang.
“Well, that kind of makes sense. However, I’m feeling a little bad for destroying this array.” She said with a little shake of her head.
“Why?” The fake Heaven Immortal asked as he and the rest of the other four Immortals looked at her curiously.
“Destroying the array means killing the five of you. Even though you all are not my real mates, but your faces still resemble them.” Li Ming replied as she picked up the stone in which the core of the array was installed.
She walked towards a huge rock that was resting near the edge of the cliff and placed the stone on the middle spot of its top.
She turned her head back towards the five Immortals who were sitting on the ground, bound together by her magical rope.
It was still hard to believe that the five of them were not able to untie the rope even after more than an hour had passed.
“I would have loved to say that it was nice meeting you guys. However, I don’t like lying. Goodbye!”
She waved her fingers a little to emphasize her sincerity in wishing them goodbye before she again turned her focus on the stone that was resting on the top of the rock.
The sapphire bracelet that was wrapped around her right wrist started crawling into her palm and within the next blink, a magnificent whip was visible in her hands.
Li Ming flicked the whip once and immediately it transformed into a dagger with its blade covering in a light blue glow.
She did not waste a single more second as she pierced the dagger right into the center of the stone and a powerful wave washed over her and her surroundings.
The sudden power rush made her cover her eyes and face with her arm and when she finally opened them after a few seconds, she found the stone scattered around into hundreds of pieces and there was no trace of the fake Immortals.
Immediately a teleportation array appeared a few feet away from her and without wasting any more time, Li Ming entered the array and landed on the same spot where her seniors were waiting.

“She’s out!”
Hei Long was the first one who shouted in excitement as he watched his mate appearing at the front gate of the Array Sect.
“Wow! She’s quick.” Ruoshan commented as he looked proudly at his sweet little mate.
The Heaven Emperor and the Moon Immortal too nodded their heads in agreement as they stood up from their seats to walk closer to the mirror that was showing exactly how surprised the senior disciples of the Array Sect were after seeing Li Ming.
“Let’s go! We can finally meet my Xingan.” Ruoshan said excitedly as he looked at the rest of his brothers who nodded their heads in agreement.
However, that very moment Hei Long let out a painful grunt as he staggered on his feet.
“What’s wrong?” Wen Guiying was immediately by his side as he helped his youngest junior brother.
The Moon Immortal and the Heaven Emperor also looked a little worried. However, no one noticed the changes that appeared in the Evernight Lord.
Ruoshan stood there in his spot as his eyes gleamed bright purple as he tried his very best to control his powers that were threatening to burst out of his body.
It was Lord Yueliang who noticed Ruoshan before the others.
“Exactly what is going on? Are you two alright?”
Suddenly the previously happy and exciting environment of the pavilion turned gloomy and worried.
Something was wrong, very very wrong!
