Chapter 94: Asking the Array

Inside a secret chamber, Yang Feiyun placed the Demonic Blade he had just obtained onto the altar, feeling overjoyed.

He said excitedly, "Only one last spiritual object is missing, and then everything will be prepared."

Ren Wanzhen, standing to the side, asked with some confusion, "This blade isn't a spiritual object; what use is it to you, Feiyun?"

Yang Feiyun smiled slightly and said, "This blade has gathered many vengeful spirits, and its Yin energy is rare in this world. This Demonic Blade will maximize the effects of the seven spiritual objects."

Upon hearing this, Ren Wanzhen said with some concern, "But I am worried that this Demonic Blade will go out of control."

Yang Feiyun said very confidently, "With my abilities, I will certainly be able to control this Demonic Blade."

"What makes me happiest is that, thanks to Yu Dahai's wealth, the spiritual objects will soon be collected."

Ren Wanzhen said happily, "Then won't your hard work of over a dozen years soon be completed?"

Yang Feiyun could not help but laugh, "Indeed, soon I will be a person of wealth and power! Hehehe, I will definitely change my destiny!"

He secretly made up his mind, although he was worried that Zhang Cheng, this Dao-attained Perfected One, would ruin his plans.

But for such a long time, this Perfected One had not made a move; it was likely that Perfected One Zhang Cheng was not all-knowing and all-powerful.

As for Chen Jiang, he did not take him seriously at all. Now, he was just waiting for the spiritual objects to be collected, and then he would ask Mao Xiaofang about the Flying Dragon Seven Star Array.

Mao Xiaofang had recovered from his injuries, Sakai had not appeared for a long time, and the walking corpses entrenched on Fei'e Mountain had already been wiped out by Chen Jiang.

They all felt that Sakai had already died under the attack of the Five Elements Boundary Compass.

Chen Jiang had also witnessed the power of the compass and decided to use this magical treasure as the town-hall treasure of his Daoist hall.

On Lamma Island, Mitaro reported to Zhang Cheng very respectfully, "Sir, will there be any problems letting Yang Feiyun take the Demonic Blade?"

Zhang Cheng said indifferently, "Since it is a trial for Ajiang, it is not appropriate for me to intervene."

Mitaro said with some concern, "I am worried that Ajiang and the others are no match for Yang Feiyun."

"Yang Feiyun has endured humiliation for over a dozen years; such schemes and such patience mean he is surely a person destined for great things."

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly and said, "I know that, of course. Once the situation goes out of control, I will step in to manage it."

Mitaro hurriedly lowered his head and said, "So it was all within your control, Sir. It is I who was overthinking."

Zhang Cheng looked at Mitaro and said, "I need to stay here to watch the building's construction project. As for Ajiang's side, you keep a closer watch."

"Please rest assured, Sir, there will be absolutely no problem." Mitaro bowed and then left Fei'e Mountain.

On this side, Chen Jiang received an invitation from Li Zhaoji to attend a party.

It turned out that Li Zhaoji's cousin Li Xihe and his son Li Siwei had returned.

Li Zhaoji intended to introduce his cousin to Chen Jiang.

Chen Jiang naturally did not refuse; if he wanted to expand the Maoshan Taoist Hall, he had to get to know these wealthy tycoons, as it was easiest to get money from them.

At the banquet, Chen Jiang met Li Xihe and Li Siwei. He glanced at Li Siwei and then whispered to Li Zhaoji, "This Li Siwei is not a good person."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhaoji hurriedly whispered, "Siwei is my cousin's only son and has been spoiled since childhood. Please say some nice things later, Master Chen."

Chen Jiang nodded slightly in agreement. However, he raised his hand to calculate and discovered that this person actually had a karmic connection with him, which caused a trace of worry in his heart.

After Li Xihe finished speaking, Li Zhaoji introduced Chen Jiang to Li Xihe.

Yu Dahai, standing to the side, could only force a smile and dared not say anything more.

Li Xihe smiled slightly and said, "Master Chen, I will be relying on you in the future."

Chen Jiang smiled reservedly and said, "Easy to say, easy to say."

Li Xihe immediately called over his son Li Siwei. Li Siwei said with some impatience, "Dad, what are you doing? You even believe in these charlatans?"

Li Zhaoji said with dissatisfaction, "Siwei, Master Chen is a high-attained expert. Previously, when ghosts and monsters appeared in Fragrant Island, it was Master Chen who stepped in to solve it."

Li Siwei said with some arrogance, "Got it. If there's anything, just spend money to hire them, that's all."

Having said that, he left directly.

Li Xihe hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Master Chen. This child has been spoiled by me since he was young."

Chen Jiang also said unpleasantly, "Then Sir Li had better be careful; I'm afraid your son is going to face a calamity."

Li Xihe was somewhat shocked and angry, but he still said, "In that case, I will have to trouble Master Chen."

Chen Jiang softened his tone and said, "That will depend on how much Yin virtue your son has."

After saying this, Chen Jiang excused himself and left. As soon as he returned to the Taoist hall, he saw both Mao Xiaofang and Yang Feiyun there.

He stepped forward and asked, "Master Mao, Brother Yang, is there something you need?"

Mao Xiaofang said, "Feiyun is looking to discuss an array with me. I feel that Master Chen is a disciple of Maoshan and understands a great deal, so I invited you to come along."

Chen Jiang smiled and said, "Alright, let's go take a look together."

Yang Feiyun did not refuse either and brought them to the wilderness.

He had already set up the Eight Directions Heaven-Asking Array, and he had deliberately set it up incorrectly, asking, "What do you two think?"

Chen Jiang shook his head slightly and said, "The Eight Directions Heaven-Asking Array is used to predict events."

"I set it up this way back then, too, but I was lectured by my Martial Uncle for it."

Mao Xiaofang also said, "Indeed, the last part of this array is always easily misunderstood."

Yang Feiyun said anxiously, "I intended to use this array to predict national affairs, but I didn't expect to have set it up wrong. It's a good thing I consulted the two of you."

He immediately stepped forward, rearranged the positions of the array flags, released red threads, used his Dharma power, and activated the array.

"Boom!"

One of the array flags exploded quickly.

Yang Feiyun said in surprise, "What is going on?"

Chen Jiang explained, "This clearly indicates a great calamity."

Yang Feiyun hurriedly asked, "What kind of disaster is it, where is it, and when will it happen?"

Mao Xiaofang shook his head and said, "This array can only detect the general situation."

Yang Feiyun said with annoyance, "If only I knew the Flying Dragon Seven Star Array, then I would be able to know clearly."

Mao Xiaofang shook his head and said, "Our Celestial Master Sect is completely unaware of this formation, and I wonder if Master Chen knows it?"

Chen Jiang nodded slightly and said, "Of course I know it; this formation is the one Uncle-Master Qianhe was most skilled at, it is just that since Uncle-Master Qianhe passed away, we juniors have been unable to inherit it."

"I have heard, however, that there is a book that records this formation, but I do not know where that book is."

Yang Feiyun was like a roller coaster; he said with some excitement, "Then Master Chen can ask Taoist Zhang. If we can learn the Flying Dragon Seven Star Formation, we can investigate the disaster clearly, and that way we can also tell our compatriots in the north to save people."

Chen Jiang nodded and said, "This is indeed a major matter; I will ask my Uncle-Master when I return."

Mao Xiaofang nodded and said, "I will have to trouble Master Chen with this matter."

Chen Jiang said with some shame, "Even if my Uncle-Master tells me, I fear I would not be able to execute it; it all depends on whether the old gentleman himself knows it."

Mao Xiaofang immediately said, "I can learn it; I only hope Taoist Zhang can cast aside sectarian prejudices."

Chen Jiang said with some difficulty, "Master Mao, let me ask my Uncle-Master first."

Mao Xiaofang also nodded and said, "Very well, then I shall await Master Chen's good news."
