Chapter 1564: The Calculated Array Eye

Then, he poured the melted candle oil onto the plate, and while it was still a thick liquid, he shook it quickly and evenly until the entire bottom of the plate was evenly covered with candle oil. After another few dozen breaths, the candle oil solidified into pale gold white wax.

Everyone could see a small light spot on the edge of the plate. Bai Ziqi pointed to it and said, "This is the location of the giant fern tree near the mountain gate. As for the rest, just wait."

Next, it was time to leave it to time. The page boy spread fur on the bluestone for Bai Ziqi and invited him to sit down, while the rest of the group sat nearby, entering a long wait.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Two quarters of an hour...

Three quarters of an hour...

Nothing happened.

Bai Ziqi closed his eyes to rest: "It seems that the range of this array is very large."

The Lamp Spirit's flight speed is extremely fast, and there are many of them, yet after so long, they still haven't encountered the next array pillar.

Bai Ziqi was not surprised. The Xushan array of Lingxu City covered the nine main peaks, not counting the other small mountains.

How could an array that can gather spiritual energy for the Thousand Illusions True Person be too small in area?

After about half an hour, the page boy suddenly said: "There is movement!"

Everyone looked, and on the white background of the wax plate, a light spot suddenly appeared.

This is the next giant fern tree encountered by the Lamp Spirit clone; it cannot run back halfway to report to the master, so it marks the location in the candle oil plate through supernatural powers.

An hour later, another light spot appeared on the plate.

At this speed... everyone looked at each other and sighed secretly. If they wait for the Lamp Spirit to find all the array bases, it will probably take at least ten or twenty hours!

Sure enough, the first night passed quickly.

Waiting time is the hardest to endure, but Bai Ziqi took out a pile of files and data and buried his head in them.

The page boy leaned over several times and found that his master was circling with a red pen on the data. He counted silently, and among the circled ones, the words "eliminate violence and bring peace," "act on behalf of Heaven," and "heinous crimes" appeared most frequently.

"Lord Envoy, what are you?"

"I am thinking, why does the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds have to give these judgments at every trial scene?"

Bai Qi replied, "Perhaps it's to find an excuse for him to use lynching; the villagers also feel relieved when they see it."

"His judgments are basically not wrong." Bai Ziqi supported his chin. "This person is stirring up trouble on the Glittering Gold Plain; what exactly does he want to do?"

If he doesn't understand the murderer's motives and goals, he will be passive when tracking the suspect and it will be difficult to analyze the other party's next step.

Easy missions, sure enough, never fall to him.

The page boy comforted him: "Don't be too strict with yourself, Lord. On the Glittering Gold Plain, no one can answer this question either."

Bai Qi also said, "Not to mention that the Yao Nation can't catch the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, I guess the Qingyang Supervisor also mobilized people to investigate, just without any clues."

"Others are others." Bai Ziqi is Bai Ziqi.

"Like the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds doing these things, his purpose must not be too dark." Just a little conspiracy cannot support the great trend that is flourishing and lively on the Glittering Gold Plain right now.

This person must be using an open conspiracy and must be very good at following the trend.

"We only look at his killing cases, which means we are led by the nose by him the whole time, hitting here and there, so it's impossible to figure out his true intentions." Bai Ziqi stretched. "Besides, the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds has always been disguising himself and has also set up many suspicious arrays for us."

Dealing with an opponent of the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds' level, "how to do it" is not urgent; figuring out "how the other party thinks" is the top priority! As long as he figures out the psychology of the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, Bai Ziqi will have a chance to anticipate the opponent's anticipation.

Just then, a subordinate pointed to the purple-gold tray and whispered: "It's lit up again, the eighteenth light spot!"

On the plate, each light spot represents the location of a giant fern tree.

After a full day and night of effort, there were finally eighteen light spots on the purple-gold plate.

Bai Ziqi pointed to the plate and asked his followers: "What do you think, what kind of array is this?"

A day ago, the few light spots couldn't show anything, but now they had flashed out a general shape. Bai Ziqi brought out various talents, including those specializing in array barriers, who had long been guessing the array map on the purple-gold plate, and then said: "There are still many giant fern trees that haven't been found, but observing the general array shape, this subordinate guesses that there is a sixty percent chance it is the Great Tiangang Array!"

"Hmm, then there are eighteen more giant fern trees." The number of Tiangang is thirty-six. "You mark them out first."

The divine attendant took a tree branch and tapped lightly eighteen times on the solidified wax of the purple-gold plate. According to his calculations, the remaining eighteen giant fern trees should be lit up at these positions.

After another five hours, three golden lights lit up on the purple-gold plate one after another, which was exactly the same as the positions pointed out by the divine attendant.

Also because of their accurate prediction, the Lamp Spirit's search work accelerated significantly.

The sky was dark again, and fifteen giant fern trees hadn't been found.

Just then, a point of golden light flew back, turned into a small Lamp Spirit, and whispered in Bai Ziqi's ear.

"Someone is entering the mountain." Bai Ziqi pointed to a nearby big tree. "Hide."

This is the Lamp Spirit sentry he placed near the mountain gate, not for fighting, but just to give them a warning and pass information.

He only brought five people into the mountain, and the target in this big mountain is small and easy to hide.

The five people were divided into three groups, each climbing a big tree and squatting down, calming their minds and breathing. These big trees were lush and covered the sky, so it was easy to hide a few people.

Before long, more than a hundred people rushed to the mountain road, first checking the giant fern trees, and then grouping here:

"Our bird scouts said that light spots the size of fireflies appeared in the mountain forest, wandering everywhere, circling around the giant fern trees whenever they encountered them. This should be a supernatural power released by unknown persons. You disperse to find the giant fern trees, and it is best to catch some light spots back."

"Also, order all mountain demons and wild monsters, if you meet outsiders or strange monsters, capture them without exception!"

After this group of people went far away, the page boy whispered to Bai Ziqi: "Lord Envoy, we..."

Bai Ziqi knew what he wanted to ask: "Don't be in a hurry, there are still fifteen giant fern trees that haven't been found."

The Tiangong group waited patiently in the tree, waiting for another seven hours.

During this period, people often walked by on the mountain road and under the tree, and the divine attendant whispered: "There are quite a few people in this Xiaoyao Sect."

Bai Ziqi shook his head: "Not all of them are Xiaoyao Sect people."

Everyone thought about it and understood.

As one of the pillars of Lingshan, the Thousand Illusions True Person's spirit-gathering array suddenly broke, so Lingshan would naturally send people to investigate and repair it.

Those running around in this mountain are likely to be Lingshan people.

In this way, their side cannot let their guard down.

While talking, another light spot on the purple-gold plate refreshed, and Bai Qi said "Eh": "Different!"

The light spots lit up on the plate did not overlap with the positions they had marked in advance! "Interesting." Bai Ziqi was energized, which was the significance of his insistence on waiting until the end: this array is not a general Great Tiangang Array.

Yes, the spirit-gathering array laid down by the Thousand Illusions True Person, how could it be an ordinary array?

Waiting for another hour or so, two more light spots appeared, but the positions did not deviate from the prediction.

But after waiting for another five hours, the ten light spots that refreshed had a greater degree of deviation from their estimated positions.

One of them flickered a few times and then disappeared.

Bai Ziqi's face sank: "Caught."

The Lamp Spirit clone guarding the giant fern tree was caught by the pursuers. Bai Ziqi was not surprised; he had similar risks when using this supernatural power.

"Stay calm, wait!"

Wait for the last two light spots to appear! Fortunately, his Lamp Spirit clones were very promising, and these two were found almost in one breath because their positions were very close.

"Good, quickly calculate the position of the array eye."

They had already remembered the position of the disappeared light spot, and combined with the thirty-five light spots in the plate, everyone had to quickly calculate the position of the array eye within a limited time.

Just in the process of calculation, the light spots in the plate went out one after another.

The reaction speed of Lingshan and the Xiaoyao Sect was not slow, and they had already discovered that the Lamp Spirit was aiming at the giant fern trees. They went directly to find the giant fern trees, and they could capture the Lamp Spirit.

If this continues, the speed at which the light spots on the purple-gold plate go out will only get faster and faster.

Playing like this is a test of memory.

Fortunately, at the same time the seventh light spot disappeared, Bai Ziqi finally calculated the position with his subordinates, broke a tree branch and tapped lightly on the plate: "Here!"

Calculated, this should be the position of the array eye!

Two mirror lights shot out from the tree crown opposite, flashing a few times in succession, which was the page boy's warning: "Someone is coming again! This time there are many people."

Apparently, the anomaly of Bai Mao Mountain was also reported to the sect, and the front mountain continued to send large troops here.

"Go!" Bai Ziqi took out the pale gold candle and broke it directly into two halves.

The golden light spots in the purple-gold plate all disappeared at once.

This means that the Lamp Spirit clones in the wild also went out, otherwise the person holding the light spots might use it to track Bai Ziqi in reverse.

The Tiangong group took the opportunity to go down to the ground and rush to the array eye position marked by the purple-gold plate.

It looks like a small dot on the plate, but in reality, the Bai Mao Mountain range is vast, and it takes at least a full day to rush there.

Of course, such a big mountain disappears in an instant no matter how many people are put into it. They dodged four or five batches of mountain patrollers and practitioners along the way, and finally arrived at the array eye position marked by the purple-gold plate before sunset.

There is a wide pebble beach here, and you can see that there was originally a river, and the runoff was not small. Several huge old trees on the mountain ridge are like guards standing in the mountain forest, long and speechless.

Besides that, this is what an ordinary mountain forest should look like, except that the vegetation is more vigorous.

There is no peculiarity, no strange stones, no strange trees, and no abrupt or spectacular scenery. Is the array eye below the ground?

Bai Ziqi asked his subordinates: "Can't it be more precise?"

"No." A "dot" on the map might correspond to a large forest in reality!

"Five li in radius, no way to shrink it further."

Bai Ziqi said in a deep voice: "The Thousand Illusions True Person chose to set up a spirit-gathering array here, it must be aimed at the particularity of Dragon Head Mountain. Either there is an incredible artifact here, or Dragon Head Mountain itself is a whole strange object; and the sudden exposure of the spirit-gathering array has two possibilities, perhaps the array operation failed, or the array eye was damaged or taken away!" ===== CHAPTER 1565 =====
