Chapter 997: Four-Scatter True Person

"Is that so! I wonder how my disciple offended Brother Zheng Wei, causing you to not hesitate to teach him a lesson personally?" Just then, a faint voice suddenly came from afar, followed by several escape lights of different colors shooting over, arriving in front of the Poison Saint Sect disciples in an instant. (Web)

The person speaking had a wooden expression as he faced the figure in the red light; it was none other than the cultivator surnamed Hua himself.

"So Brother Hua has truly come; Zheng was rude. I was just joking with your sect's disciples; how could I truly bully the young!" Contrary to the expectations of the other cultivators present, the cultivator in the red light, who looked aggressive just a moment ago, immediately apologized with a smile after seeing the Poison Saint Sect elders, acting like a completely different person, not caring about his face at all.

"Hehe, is this the famous Four-Scatter True Person, Brother Zheng Wei? Now that I see you, you truly live up to your reputation!" A burst of loud laughter came from the other side, and then, in front of everyone, five white shadows appeared out of thin air, each standing there like a bamboo pole.

"Five-Child Concentric Demon! So it is Brother Qian of the Yin Luo Sect!" The cultivator in the red light's voice changed drastically, appearing extremely shocked.

"Well said, Zheng's reputation is not a bit less than mine!" Old Demon Qian let out a light laugh.

This was indeed true. This Four-Scatter True Person could be considered a figure in the Great Jin cultivation world.

However, it wasn't that this person's abilities were extraordinary, but rather that he was a typical cunning character who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Facing cultivators with lower cultivation than him, he was fierce and unreasonable, but when encountering cultivators with higher cultivation and abilities, he would immediately fawn and flatter, not caring about his face at all. But once there was an opportunity, this person would immediately turn hostile, often engaging in despicable acts like taking advantage of others' precarious positions and hitting them from behind.

Such a person naturally offended many cultivators, and even some Nascent Soul level cultivators hated him to the bone. However, although he was a Nascent Soul early-stage rogue cultivator and practiced a type of cultivation technique that was easiest to raise one's realm but had poor abilities, he had accidentally obtained a rare ancient treasure, the 'Four-Direction Flying Sky Boots', in his early years. When used, his escape speed was not inferior to that of a Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator.

Moreover, this person later practiced several strange secret techniques specifically for saving his life, and rarely provoked powerful cultivators above the Nascent Soul mid-stage, so although he was hated by many, he had remained at large until now, becoming one of the most notorious figures in the Great Jin cultivation world.

Hua Hua Tianqi naturally wouldn't give such a character a good look, but Old Demon Qian seemed quite interested in this person.

However, this Four-Scatter True Person, seeing that even the Great Elder of the Yin Luo Sect had appeared, immediately retreated into the crowd while fawning, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Seeing the other party's cowardly appearance, Old Demon Qian also lost the desire to say anything more to him, instead looking at Hua Hua Tianqi with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Brother Hua, your sect's disciples are guarding this place; could it be that you want to block me outside as well?"

"Brother Qian is joking. How would our Poison Saint Sect dare to block you, Fellow Daoist Qian? Even for other fellow Daoists, our sect has no intention of blocking them. It's just that this place is currently covered by an illusion array, and our sect wants to break this array first before letting everyone in, so as to avoid any fellow Daoists being trapped inside," Hua Hua Tianqi remained silent for a moment, his gaze flickering as he spoke.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I misunderstood your sect's good intentions. However, this mere illusion array cannot stump me. I want to go in now; I wonder what you think, Fellow Daoist?" Old Demon Qian let out a cold laugh, pressing forward step by step.

"No problem, as long as Brother Qian can break into the array, I will definitely not block you in the slightest," Hua Hua Tianqi seemed to have completely let go, saying without hesitation, and waved his hand to signal the disciples to move aside immediately.

The other three Poison Saint Sect elders were somewhat puzzled, but out of their long-standing trust in Hua Hua Tianqi, no one said anything.

Those few Core Formation stage disciples, even more obediently, moved aside immediately.

"Are there any other fellow Daoists who want to break into the array? Hua will not block you either," Hua Hua Tianqi said slowly to the surrounding cultivators after the light curtain returned to calm.

Hua Hua Tianqi's action instead caused the originally aggressive crowd of cultivators to look at each other in dismay for a time. They were mostly lone wolves, or at most two or three Core Formation stage cultivators traveling together, so how would they dare to enter this array?

The remaining few Nascent Soul stage cultivators were each in their own place, all revealing expressions of contemplation.

Seeing that the entrance was no longer blocked, the place became cold instead.

"This fellow Daoist, why don't we two join forces and go in?" Behind the crowd, the Four-Scatter True Person appeared sneakily in front of a tall and sturdy man, saying with a smile.

"Join forces with you? Forget it. I have long heard of your reputation, Fellow Daoist!" The Nascent Soul stage man rolled his eyes upon hearing this, looking extremely displeased.

"Why must you refuse people from thousands of miles away, Fellow Daoist? I have looked, and among the Nascent Soul cultivators here, besides you and me, there are three other seemingly unfamiliar rogue cultivators. If we join forces to explore, we won't have to fear that Old Demon Qian and the Poison Saint Sect people," Zheng Wei remained unbothered, speaking in a friendly manner.

"Hmph, convince the others first before coming to find me," the man was moved inside, but because the other party was truly notorious, he still said his condition without hesitation.

"Good, with your words, Fellow Daoist, I will handle the others," Zheng Wei promised, patting his chest, and then flew toward an old man covered in purple light in the distance, under the man's suspicious gaze.

"This fellow Daoist, do you want to go inside and explore? I have already discussed it with the fellow Daoist over there, and we are preparing to find three more fellow Daoists to join us. I wonder if you are willing to join?" Before the old man could reveal a look of surprise at the uninvited guest, Zheng Wei already revealed a smiling expression.

The old man frowned, looked at Zheng Wei coldly, and then raised his head to look at the man on the other side, just in time to meet the man's curious gaze.

After their gazes met, the old man revealed a trace of realization, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, five Nascent Soul level rogue cultivators who had been strangers to each other entered the illusion array together. As a result, there were no more high-stage cultivators left outside.

At the same time that the various Nascent Soul cultivators entered the illusion array, Han Li was staring at his surroundings with blue light flickering in his eyes.

He was currently alone in a space that felt like a dream, surrounded by ethereal clouds of various colors, with no sky above and no earth below, actually floating in the air out of thin air.

"This ghost place is too strange; no matter how I fly, I can't get out. There are no barriers, and it doesn't look like an illusion! Could it be that I am really going to be trapped to death here?" Han Li muttered to himself, his expression showing great frustration.

Since a few days ago, when the three of them inadvertently discovered a very rare spirit herb on a mountain rock beside the staircase, the old man surnamed Fu had eagerly gone to pick it.

As a result, as soon as the old man pulled out the spirit herb, he triggered some barrier, and Han Li felt a blur before his eyes, and he appeared here alone.

Bai Bai Yaoyi and the old man surnamed Fu were nowhere to be seen.

Facing the array barrier, although Han Li could not yet be called an array master, he had also studied ancient strange arrays extensively, so naturally, he wouldn't be afraid of anything at first.

But not long after, Han Li felt that something was very wrong.

Because he couldn't even determine whether everything here was an illusion; he only knew that no matter how long he flew, the situation in front of him was exactly the same. And the Brightclear Spirit Eyes' ability had long been used, but it hadn't discovered any abnormalities.

As for attacking with flying swords and magic treasures, he had tried them all. As a result, after one strike, it flew far away without obstruction, then dissipated and disappeared, unable to hit anything solid.

In this way, no matter how sharp his attacks were, they were useless.

After drifting in this space for so long and still gaining nothing, Han Li finally stopped.

After narrowing his eyes and pondering for a while, he suddenly sat down cross-legged, gently closed his eyes, and began to carefully reconsider all the ancient strange arrays he had learned in his life, trying to see if he could find a similar barrier to break out of the array.

Time passed slowly, and Han Li remained motionless, like a wooden statue. After an unknown amount of time, Han Li finally moved, slowly opening his eyes, his gaze simultaneously looking at the colorful clouds all around.

"Tsk tsk! So that's how it is; it really is so," Han Li's gaze carried a trace of strangeness as he whispered to himself.

But not long after, Han Li began to feel that things were very wrong.

Because he could not even determine if everything in this place was an illusion; he only knew that no matter how long he flew, the scene that appeared before him was exactly the same. Furthermore, he had long since used the divine ability of his Bright Clear Spirit Eyes, but the result was that he did not discover the slightest abnormality.

As for attacking with flying swords or magic treasures, he had also tried them one by one. The result was that after a strike was launched, it would fly a long distance without any obstruction, and then dissipate and vanish, completely unable to strike anything solid.

In this way, even if his attacks were sharp, they were completely useless.

After drifting around in this space for so long, Han Li, who still had nothing to show for it, finally stopped.

After narrowing his eyes and pondering for a while, he suddenly sat down cross-legged, gently closed his eyes, and began to carefully reconsider in his mind all the various ancient miraculous formations he had studied throughout his life, to see if he could find a similar barrier so that he could break the formation and get out.

Time passed slowly, and Han Li's figure remained motionless, like a wooden sculpture. After an unknown amount of time, Han Li finally had a change in expression, slowly opened his eyes, and looked toward the colorful clouds all around.

"Tsk tsk! So that's how it is. It really is so." A trace of strangeness appeared in Han Li's eyes as he softly muttered to himself.
