Chapter 316: Four Symbols Array

Just as night fell, a group of uninvited guests flew over the pitch-black Imperial City—it was the nine Yellow Maple Valley cultivators, including Han Li.

Flying to the sky above the dark city wall, Liu Jing, who was in the lead, looked at this so-called forbidden area and hesitated slightly in his heart, but still waved his hand with great spirit.

"Go!"

His voice was extremely decisive, without a hint of hesitation.

Afterwards, he was the first to rush over.

Seeing this, the others naturally followed suit, having long since thrown their fear of the Seven Sects' ban to the back of their minds.

Han Li did not rush to the front but deliberately lagged behind, flying at the tail of the crowd.

This wasn't because Han Li had any other thoughts, but because he was silently sensing the "Inverted Five Elements Great Array" he had arranged last night.

When they flew to a place a few miles away from the Imperial Palace, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Han Li's mouth.

Very good! The great array was still intact, and the spiritual energy markers he had secretly arranged had not been damaged in the slightest, which made Han Li feel exceptionally happy in his heart.

A moment later, the nine of them floated above the Imperial Palace, looking down at everything in the Imperial Palace.

"Listen up, everyone! This operation will be carried out according to the plan we made beforehand, splitting into two paths. One path will rush to the sleeping palace of the current Yue Kingdom Emperor to rescue him from the hands of the Ghost Spirit Sect; only in this way can we prevent the opponent from jumping over the wall in desperation and using the Yue Kingdom Emperor to threaten us. The other path will go directly to the cold palace where the Ghost Spirit Sect Master is staying, concentrating our manpower to eliminate the four Blood Servants first. Then the two paths will gather in one place to finally deal with the Ghost Spirit Sect Master who is still in seclusion." Liu Jing solemnly repeated the plan for tonight's battle, making the others nod repeatedly.

The manpower had long been allocated. Chen Chen Qiaoqian and Zhong Zhong Weiniang, two female cultivators, went to rescue the Yue Kingdom Emperor. Liu Jing and the others rushed directly to the cold palace guarded by the four Blood Servants, and Han Li was among them.

"Seventh Junior Martial Sister, Junior Martial Sister Chen, be careful!" Before parting, Liu Jing specifically exhorted them.

The two women responded solemnly and then flew down obliquely.

Not long after, they disappeared silently into the darkness.

"Everyone, don't hold back when you see other cultivators later. Since they are cultivators who can walk freely in this Imperial Palace, they must be people of the Ghost Spirit Sect. Let's take action too! We can create opportunities for the two Junior Martial Sisters." After Liu Jing said this coldly to the crowd, he immediately flew directly toward the cold palace Han Li had mentioned using his magic tool.

Han Li and the others followed.

A moment later, their aggressive momentum descending from the sky was immediately discovered by the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples guarding the periphery of the cold palace.

Immediately after several sharp whistles, various magic arts and magic tools were unleashed from the hidden places near the cold palace, striking the few people head-on.

"The light of a grain of rice dares to compete with the bright moon!"

Liu Jing waved his hand, and a shimmering silk cloth flew out of his hand, instantly turning into a huge barrier that blocked in front of him, even protecting Han Li and the others behind him. It seemed he had great confidence in the power of this magic tool.

Sure enough, as soon as the silk cloth unfolded, those magic arts and magic tools struck it at the same time. After emitting a dazzling white light, not only was the silk cloth undamaged, but it even rebounded some of the magic arts, beating some of the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples below into a state of chaos and embarrassment.

"Senior Martial Brother Liu, good means!"

Song Meng, who was rushing down side by side with Liu Jing, praised loudly upon seeing this. Afterwards, he didn't stand on ceremony and threw out the object in his hand.

A huge blue sword appeared out of thin air in the night sky; it was the top-grade magic tool "Blue Silk Sword" that Song Meng loved to use most.

"Go!"

Song Meng pinched a spell with both hands, and the blue giant sword let out a long cry, actually spinning on its own like a wheel, which made the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples below, who were terrified by the giant shape of this sword, stunned.

Seeing this, a cruel smile appeared on Song Meng's face.

He stretched out two fingers and pointed at the "Blue Silk Sword" that had turned into a giant disc of light.

Immediately, the blue light on the disc shrank and expanded, suddenly exploding with countless slender blue threads, shrouding an area of several dozen zhang below it.

Seeing this scene, the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples below were scared out of their wits, and various defensive magic arts and magic tools were unleashed, trying to block the overwhelming attack.

A series of screams rang out.

Under the piercing of countless blue threads, most of the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples still couldn't defend, either dying miserably and being shot into a hornet's nest, or, although they protected their vital parts, having their limbs and other places pierced through, losing their combat ability on the spot.

"What a move 'Ten Thousand Threads Under Heaven'! I've long heard of this move of Junior Martial Brother Song; it really is extraordinary."

A fellow disciple of Chen Chen Qiaoqian praised sincerely upon seeing the power of this move, making Song Meng look slightly proud.

At this time, several of them landed calmly in front of the cold palace gate. Those Ghost Spirit Sect disciples who had luckily survived didn't dare to take action at all, having long since become disheartened.

"Activate the Four Symbols Array and trap them inside."

Just as the remaining Ghost Spirit Sect disciples were terrified in the face of Liu Jing and the others, an extremely cold voice came from the cold palace.

Then, a white figure emitting a hazy white cold air appeared at the gate in the blink of an eye; it was the "Ice Demon" who happened to be on duty again.

It was he who had just ordered through gritted teeth, and at this moment, he was looking at the Yellow Maple Valley cultivators with shock and anger.

"Hmph! Evil demon, pay with your life!"

Upon hearing this, and seeing the other's cultivation, Liu Jing immediately knew this was one of the four Blood Servants. He snorted coldly, and two silver lights shot out from his body, slashing straight at the opponent's head.

Seeing this, the others also lit up various magic tools and wanted to join forces to kill this newly appeared Ghost Spirit Sect expert immediately. They were not sparring with fellow disciples, so naturally, they wouldn't talk about fighting one-on-one.

Han Li also had six golden lights fly out from his storage pouch.

Han Li was naturally very happy to be able to kill this Blood Servant right here!

But at this moment, the scene in front of Han Li and the others suddenly blurred, and then the world spun.

After being greatly shocked, they actually appeared in a world of ice and snow in the blink of an eye.

Everything was white, the cold wind was whistling, and huge snowflakes were dancing in the sky. Where was the shadow of the white-clothed person opposite?

Although Liu Jing and the others were shocked in their hearts, they knew they had fallen into the Four Symbols Array, so after being panicked for a moment, they calmed down.

After all, there were so many Foundation Establishment fellow disciples here; what was there to fear about a small array?

"Hehe! You guys have big guts, actually daring to hurt my sect's disciples! Just stay in my sect's protective array for a while." The cold voice was erratic, as if it came from all directions at the same time, and the momentum was truly astonishing.

"Four Symbols Array?"

"Does anyone here understand this array? It's best if we break the array and get out quickly; otherwise, if we let their four Blood Servants gather together, it will be ruthless." Liu Jing didn't pay attention to the Ice Demon's provocation but asked the others with a normal expression.

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the others looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

"I do understand some array principles and have heard of this Four Symbols Array. But I haven't studied the specific method to break the array. This array is considered a relatively obscure one among array techniques. Ordinary people wouldn't study this array." Chen Chen Qiaoqian's Senior Martial Sister, seeing the crowd's silence, said hesitantly.

"This is a bit troublesome. Do we really have to use brute force to break the array?" Liu Jing frowned, muttering somewhat reluctantly.

You must know that relying on brute force to break the array, although the method is simple and direct, not only takes a long time but also consumes a large amount of everyone's magic power, which is naturally extremely unfavorable for the great battle after breaking the array. This was probably the intention of the enemy in activating this array!

Hearing this, the others looked at each other in dismay, feeling somewhat worried.

Just then, a curious voice came.

"Eh! Junior Martial Brother Han, what are you doing?"

Song Meng knew nothing about array techniques, so he didn't have to rack his brains about breaking the array. Looking around, he actually saw Han Li's actions.

Han Li was holding a crystal ball magic tool, placing it in front of his eyes, and staring at something in a certain direction through it.

This strange behavior made Song Meng very curious, so he asked without thinking.

This sentence made the others, including Liu Jing, notice Han Li's side, and they all looked at Han Li with some doubt.

Han Li smiled slightly and suddenly handed the crystal ball to Liu Jing.

"Senior Martial Brother, use this purple light ball to look over there and you will know." Han Li pointed to the direction he had just stared at and said.

Liu Jing was stunned after hearing this. After a moment, he handed the magic tool back to Han Li and lowered his head to ponder.

After a while, he raised his head and said to the others who were waiting anxiously:

"Junior Martial Brother Han is right. This direction, for some reason, has spiritual energy fluctuations that are very different from other places, appearing much thinner. It seems it should be a flaw that shouldn't exist due to the opponent's hasty formation." Liu Jing's voice grew louder as he spoke, looking full of confidence. ===== CHAPTER 317 =====
