Fantasy Simulator Chapter 230 Scheme

Hearing the sounds from outside, Hou Juan looked around.

As the door of the prison opened, the surroundings became brighter, and a person walked in.

It was a relatively tall woman.

She wore a long, white dress and had beautiful looks. She walked over and stood in front of Hou Juan.

Seeing this, Hou Juan's expression became serious and her body instinctively tightened.

Even though they had only just met, she could sense that this person was not ordinary.

This woman was very dangerous—that's what Hou Juan thought to herself.

In the past, even though her talent was very poor, she had strange senses that made her able to clearly sense things that others could not discover.

This kind of feeling was very strong and was very rarely wrong.

Right now, Hou Juan felt a ma.s.sive pressure from this woman, making her feel suffocated.

Her body tightened as she warily looked at that woman.

"Are you from the Flowing Cloud Sect?" Hou Juan asked.

"Yes, but also no."

Standing outside Hou Juan's cell and looking at Hou Juan, the woman gave a slight smile, "It's been a while, Miss Hou."

"You know me?" Hou Juan frowned, feeling quite surprised.

This woman seemed to have seen her somewhere and seemed to know her.

"As expected, you are quite astute."

Hearing Hou Juan's words, the woman laughed and said, "Indeed, we know each other and have known each other for a while. It is just that before, it was always me secretly observing you. As for you, perhaps you met me in the past but just did not remember me."

"I don't think there's much to observe about me," Hou Juan frowned as she looked at the woman, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator and am just trash to the rest of you; what is there to observe?"

"There's no need for Miss Hou to self-deprecate," the woman smiled and continued, "Indeed, the talent you have displayed is very ordinary, if not lacking. However, trust me when I say that you are not as simple as you seem.

"In this world, there are always people who will reign far above mortals and leave their names in the annals of history. Miss Hou, you are such a person."

Standing there, the woman smiled as she said, "There is tremendous power in your body, and if it explodes out, it will be very shocking."

"Is that so?"

Hearing the woman's words, Hou Juan stared for a moment before saying mockingly, "I don't really understand what you're saying, but given my situation, is there any point about talking about the future?"

She looked at her cell and the chains around her hands as she coldly smiled, "Tell me, what do you plan to do with me? I'm sure you're not here to just idly chat. Tell me your purpose."

"Why is Miss Hou so sure that we will do anything to you?" the woman asked as she smiled.

"What, would you release me otherwise?" Hou Juan said mockingly.

However, what shocked her was that the woman actually nodded, looking quite serious.

"That is exactly what we are going to do."

Hearing this, Hou Juan stared in confusion.

"You…"

Looking at the woman, Hou Juan could not help but feel confused.

If it was any other person, she would have thought that that person was just toying with her.

However, her instincts told her that this person was telling the truth.

This person was not lying and actually wanted to bring her out.

Sensing this, Hou Juan could not help but feel quite surprised.

"There's no need for any extra words right now," the woman said as she smiled, "I'm sure you'll understand in the future, Miss Hou. As such, there's no need to be dismayed. Right now, you just need to focus on thinking about how to leave this place."

Hearing those words, Hou Juan frowned, preparing to say something.

However, the woman once again spoke, causing Hou Juan's expression to change.

"There's something else I need to tell Miss Hou."

Standing there, the woman continued to smile, "A few days ago, the Flowing Cloud Sect's amba.s.sadors left for Nine Peaks City to visit the Zhang clan. The Zhang clan will soon come to the Flowing Cloud Sect to meet with Miss Hou."

"What?"

In that moment, Hou Juan's expression greatly changed as she stared at the woman, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang is coming to the sect?"

"That's right," the woman lightly nodded, "The Zhang clan's clan leader will soon be here; I'm sure you know why.

"Indeed, it is for you, Miss Hou.

"The Flowing Cloud Sect has summoned the Zhang clan's clan leader for yoursake, but once he really comes, I'm sure you know what will happen."

"No!" Hou Juan shouted, feeling incredibly worried.

Of course she knew what would happen.

With how the Flowing Cloud Sect did things, they definitely did not have good intentions for summoning Chen Heng here.

Once Chen Heng arrived, based on what she knew about the Flowing Cloud Sect, they would definitely activate the Guardian Formation and take Chen Heng down.

Thinking to there, she could not help but sweat cold sweat.

"No!"

She felt quite shocked as she thought to herself, "I can take this myself; if I trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang and the entire Zhang clan…"

Thinking about it, her face became pale.

If she was not here, Chen Heng definitely would not come back to the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Did he not know what kind of place the Flowing Cloud Sect?

As the Zhang clan's clan leader, he knew better than anyone that he could not go to the Flowing Cloud Sect, but he had come this time for her.

Once he came, the Flowing Cloud Sect definitely would not let this opportunity go and would take him down.

If the Flowing Cloud Sect was able to take him down, then the rest of the Zhang clan would not be able to resist and would be taken down as well.

Thinking to there, Hou Juan's face became pale and felt cold sweat all over her body.

Instinctively, she looked towards her waist, where there was a small dagger.

The dagger had been gifted to her by Chen Heng, but it was not a magic item and was just a keepsake.

Back when the Flowing Cloud Sect had captured her, they had just sealed her magic energy and had taken away her magic items, but they had not taken away this dagger.

Looking at this dagger, Hou Juan made a decision and resolved herself.

"There's no need to think about dying."

As if she could tell what Hou Juan was thinking, the woman in white smiled as she shook her head and said softly, "Even if you die, that will be pointless. Right now, you are in the Flowing Cloud Sect—so what if you die? As long as the Flowing Cloud Sect's people do not say it, how will the Zhang clan's clan leader know that you have died and not come?"

She smiled as she said, "Seeking death is pointless and will just waste your life."

Hearing those words, Hou Juan calmed down and looked at the woman.

"I'm sure you didn't come here to tell me all of this just to see my reaction," Hou Juan said as she stared at the woman, "Just what do you want?"

"I just want to help you, nothing else," the woman said softly, "There's no need to seek death, nor should you think that we'll contact the Zhang clan's clan leader for you. Your only chance is to save yourself."

"Save myself."

Hearing this, a derisive look appeared on Hou Juan's face as she looked around, "My magic energy has been sealed, and I'm essentially the same as a mortal. How could I possibly escape from the Flowing Cloud Sect like this?"

With the Flowing Cloud Sect's strength, even Hou Juan's strength at her peak was unable to create waves here.

"So, I will help you."

Hearing Hou Juan's words, the woman smiled and placed a golden medicinal pill down.

The golden medicinal pill had strange inscriptions on it, making it look quite unique. When one came close, they would be able to smell a medicinal fragrance from it.

It was easy to tell that this was no ordinary item.

"This is a One Qi Pill."

Looking at Hou Juan's confused expression, the woman explained, "If you consume this pill, your strength will increase by a whole realm for two hours, allowing you to temporarily have Profound Understanding strength.

"However, after two hours, you will be heavily injured, and even your Spirit Foundation will be damaged. Whether or not you can survive will be up to your fate."

Allowing one to gain great power for two hours but risking their life—this pill was incredibly miraculous but dangerous.

Looking at this golden medicinal pill, Hou Juan's pupils constricted. After thinking for a moment, she still took it and put it away.

"It's not enough."

After taking the One Qi Pill, she raised her head and said, "Even so, I can't leave."

"That's right."

The woman's smile did not change, and she only smiled, "Three days later, you will have an opportunity, during the Flowing Cloud Sect's festival.

"When that time comes, there will be some chaos within the Flowing Cloud Sect, which will be your chance."

Hearing her words, Hou Juan's expression became serious and she nodded, "Alright."

Needless to say, this was incredibly dangerous.

It would be incredibly difficult and dangerous to escape from the Flowing Cloud Sect, and if she was not careful, her life would be in danger.

However, right now, she had no other choice.

As such, she could only give it her all.

"Then I will be waiting for Miss Hou's good news."

Hearing Hou Juan's words, the woman lightly smiled before turning and leaving.

She slowly walked out, and Hou Juan watched as she gradually disappeared.

Only after she was gone did Hou Juan relax and began to think to herself.

"To be able to give out a One Qi Pill so easily and do things like this within the Flowing Cloud Sect; just who are you?"

Thinking of that woman's words, she could not help but frown.

That woman had been extremely mysterious.

From her words, she seemed to know her well.

However, for her to have the ability to cause chaos in the Flowing Cloud Sect, as well as help her to leave, then her pa.s.sing a message to Chen Heng should be incredibly easy.

However, she did not do so and instead wanted to help her leave so she could meet Chen Heng herself.

This made Hou Juan feel quite surprised and confused.

This was something she could easily do herself, and yet she wanted Hou Juan to do it.

Why was that?

Just what was she plotting?

Outside, Gao Yue calmly walked out from the prison, as if nothing had happened.

By the side, a female attendant looked over, seeming quite confused.
