Chapter 41 - Restriction
Due to Lee Tao's command, Yao Meixiang and the others had their memories altered by Xiao Chu.
Although Lee Tao didn't wish to waste his effort in altering someone's memories, he didn't wish to have others know about his harnessing skill.
After all, one less person knowing about his ability means one less cautious person in the world for Lee Tao.
Meanwhile, Yao Meixiang began to recount her thought process about what happened before.
"We got caught in the trap and…" Yao Meixiang muttered as her face turned ashen white.
"S-Senior Lin Cheng and the others perished in order to save us." Yao Meixiang said in disbelief.
Meng Xue and Jia Qiu nodded their heads with a gloomy look.
"Where are we now?" Meng Xue asked with a lifeless expression. She then glanced around and noticed they were still in a cave.
"Senior Lin Cheng and the others sacrificed their lives for us so we can't just sit here and wait for death." Jia Qiu suddenly said as she stood up.
Yao Meixiang nodded her head.
"Un, we should try to leave this cave as soon as possible. Who knows how many deadly traps are inlaid in this cave?" Yao Meixiang said as she stood up.
Sometime later, Yao Meixiang and the others began walking around the cave, hoping to find an exit.
"Where's Lee Tao and Tang Lingling by the way?" Yao Meixiang asked.
She was worried about their well-being and wondered if they were still alive.
Jia Qiu walked toward Yao Meixiang as she patted her shoulders.
"We can worry about them once we are safe ourselves. Right now, it's pointless to think about others." Jia Qiu said.
"We were just unfortunate to have triggered a death trap but that doesn't mean Lee Tao would be as unfortunate as us." She added.
After being comforted by Jia Qiu, Yao Meixiang soon regained her composure.
As for Meng Xue, she was still feeling a bit depressed to learn that Lin Cheng had died.
Meanwhile, back outside the cave, Lee Tao was casually strolling around the area, acting like this was his home.
"Everything is just so beautiful here." Lee Tao smiled wickedly as he wanted to take this ancient ruin for himself.
Alas, he didn't have the means to do so with his current ability now.
Although he could still handle trash like Lin Cheng and the others, it would still be difficult for him to do something like bringing an entire ancient ruin to his control.
"Unless… I find the control and formation for this ancient ruin." Lee Tao muttered.
"Young Master, are we still going to collect more herbs?" Suddenly, Tang Lingling came from behind and her face had some dirt.
"Why is your face so dirty?" Lee Tao scolded. "As a servant of the Lee Clan, you must make sure your upbringing is perfect since you represent our Lee Clan."
Tang Lingling twitched her mouth in disbelief.
'It was you who told me to dig up the herbs with my bare hand so that I wouldn't damage the herb. It was also you who suddenly kicked the soil and caused them to land on my face.' Tang Lingling cursed inwardly.
Alas, she didn't have the courage to go against him anymore after her blowjob.
Thus, Tang Lingling nodded her head and apologized for her poor upbringing.
"I'm sorry Young Master, I will make sure to watch my upbringing from now on." Tang Lingling said.
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"That should be obvious."
Sometime later, Lee Tao halted his movement as he glanced at the vibrant mountains.
The mountains were extremely tall and shrouded by a bunch of clouds.
If words were used to describe the vibrant mountains, it would be like a cultivator soaring to the sky to try and cut the sky open.
"Such lively mountains…" Lee Tao mumbled in admiration.
"All those treasures inside the mountains are going to be my loot now." Lee Tao smirked as he checked his current position on the map of thermal imaging.
He was just 10 kilometers away from obtaining the secret of the ancient ruin.
"Let's speed up, Tang Lingling." Lee Tao said as he activated his movement technique.
Tang Lingling was dumbfounded when Lee Tao was rushing all of a sudden.
Nevertheless, she quickly followed after Lee Tao since she no longer had to kneel down to scavenge the herbs and store them into her spatial ring.
Sometime later, Lee Tao and Tang Lingling arrived at the base of the tall mountains.
Lee Tao glanced upward and saw how high the mountain actually was.
"Damn, I thought it was just a vision trick but who the hell is going to climb this tall mountain." Lee Tao clicked his tongue in anger.
There was no way he would climb the mountain and waste his stamina. It would be exhausting and a waste of time to do so.
Thus, Lee Tao decided to leap up and tried to fly to the peak of the mountain.
"This is why flying was invented in the first place." Lee Tao smirked evilly as he tried to levitate over.
As Lee Tao began to hover over the mountain, a formation suddenly activated and started fluctuating around Lee Tao.
Lee Tao narrowed his eyes as he recognized the formation.
"A flying restriction? Are you fucking joking with me right now?" Lee Tao cursed aloud as he tried to deflect the restriction.
Alas, it was a futile effort. Lee Tao's body is now in a mortal body, and not an Immortal body. Thus, Lee Tao couldn't negate the flying restriction effect and was thrown back to the base of the mountain.
"Motherfucker, you wanna have a go again?" Lee Tao lifted his sleeves up and showed a middle finger at the formation.
Suddenly, it was like the formation could sense Lee Tao's taunting, it began to fluctuate again.
Multiple strands of lighting started appearing, and Lee Tao twitched his mouth at this scene.
"Fuck man, can't you take a joke at all?" Lee Tao cursed as he quickly retreated far away and had Xiao Chu cast a barrier.
