Chapter 337: Han Family Disciples Break the Array Together

Liu Xiao blocked the mountain gate of Dafeng Mountain and set up an array, intending to disturb the Han family. The great array had been set up for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense when it disturbed the Han family, but it was not the method of disturbance he had imagined.

The first to enter the array was still the Han family servant from before. It is truly said that enemies often cross paths; this was the second time he had bumped into Liu Xiao's hands. However, he didn't recognize Liu Xiao, and Liu Xiao had no intention of acknowledging him. He let him walk straight into the Profound Stone Array of the Deep Abyss as soon as he left the mountain gate.

After this person entered the array, he was only stunned for a moment, then poked his head out from the pavilion, looked at the swimming fish in the pond, without the slightest realization of being intimidated by the illusion. He actually thought about going into the pond to catch fish; his mental quality could be called extremely strong.

After the Profound Stone Array of the Deep Abyss was reshaped for the third time, the fish in the pond were an important sub-array in the array, mainly serving to discharge force. Any attacks by those who entered the array on various parts of the array would be transferred to the swimming fish in the pond, and then dispersed into the pond water through the fish's swimming, tail-wagging, bubble-blowing, and other actions, thereby slowing down most of the damage.

There were five swimming fish in total, and each one was not easy to refine, equivalent to five force-discharge points.

After others entered the array, they either didn't notice these swimming fish or directly used magic treasures to kill them. Like him, rolling up his trouser legs and going into the water to catch fish, there was not a single one, which truly exceeded Liu Xiao's expectations.

For this kind of fish-catching behavior, Liu Xiao really didn't have a suitable way to deal with it. For a moment, he was a bit dazed. Seeing that one was about to be caught, he hurriedly increased the release of the Illusory Fragrance, which attracted the guy's attention to the attic, letting the swimming fish struggle out of his palm and fall into the water, escaping a disaster.

Afterwards, this guy curiously touched his way into the attic, pulled up a chair in the main hall and sat down, leisurely watching the illusions. He was truly bold to the extreme, and also heartless to the extreme.

Liu Xiao was worried that something would happen to him, so he had been holding back his strength from the beginning and didn't fully release the array. Various killing moves were not displayed, including the Illusory Fragrance, which he didn't dare to release again. Even so, it was enough for him to suffer.

This guy was a steward among the Han family servants, just at Qi Refinement Stage 2. How could he withstand the scene in the main hall? Before long, he was dancing and trembling all over, unable to guard his vital points.

Seeing his ugly appearance, Liu Xiao didn't dare to let him stay any longer and hurriedly drove him out of the array. Seeing his figure rushing back to the mountain, Liu Xiao couldn't help but be thoughtful—this guy was really a talent, but why was he still at Qi Refinement Stage 2 at thirty or forty years old?

Driving this guy out of the array was to let him go back to the mountain to report the news, and this guy did indeed return to the mountain. Not long after, he brought two people out together. Judging by their attire, they should be fellow stewards of the Han family.

He grabbed the arms of the two people, one on the left and one on the right, and entered the great array, then dragged the two of them out from the pavilion, bypassed the pond, flower beds, and grass paths, and headed straight for the attic.

These two people were about the same as him. One had slightly higher cultivation, at Qi Refinement Stage 3, and the other hadn't even reached Stage 2, still hovering at Qi Refinement Stage 1 at his age. How could they withstand such an illusion? Before long, they made fools of themselves and lost their vital points!

The three people had very poor cultivation, but they loved to play. After being driven out of the great array by Liu Xiao, they didn't think about sitting in meditation to adjust their breathing, but went together to the kitchen to share a pot of thick soup with Lingnan characteristics. While drinking, they chatted happily about their feelings of entering the array, but only talked about their feelings and didn't talk about where the illusion array came from. They were truly bizarre.

After chatting happily, the three of them rushed to tell others, each gathering acquaintances and friends, leaving the mountain gate and entering the great array directly. One by one, they rolled up their sleeves and unbuttoned their chests, going to the attic to grab seats.

More than ten people poured in at once. Although most of them had low cultivation, at most Qi Refinement Stage 4 or 5, and some had no cultivation at all, it was the first time so many people had entered since the birth of the Profound Stone Array of the Deep Abyss. Liu Xiao gathered his spirits and treated it seriously. In this process, he discovered several weak points of the great array, which could be considered quite a gain. He prepared to continue improving it after returning, striving to trap more people in the great array.

After receiving a wave of more than ten people, Liu Xiao was also exhausted. His own true qi and the spiritual power of the great array were consumed quite a bit. After this wave of people finished and returned to the mountain, he waited eagerly for the next wave to come.

In this way, for one night, more than a hundred people from the Han family broke into the great array—some of whom had come more than three times, such as the guy who caught fish, and even several Han family disciples had come several times. But not a single one who was truly in charge came, such as the Han Siye of the Han family who had come out to receive him when he entered the mountain yesterday, who didn't show his face at all.

This made Liu Xiao fall into deep thought. What did the Han family mean by this? Being blocked at the mountain gate for so long, and no one came out to ask what was going on?

However, at noon the day after Liu Xiao set up the array to block the gate, the Han Siye of the Han family finally discovered that something was wrong. Where had the servants around him gone?

"Tou Si~" The Han Siye came to the courtyard and opened his mouth to call someone: "Tou Si! Han Tou Si—"

After calling a few times, there was no response, so he called again: "Xiao Song—Xiao Song—"

Still no response.

An old woman poked her head in from outside the door: "Does the Han Siye want to use someone?"

Uncle Han Four asked: "Where did everyone go?"

The old woman looked blank: "Don't know..."

Uncle Han Four stepped out of his courtyard and strolled around the village for a while, discovering that there were far fewer people inside and outside the village? It looked a bit deserted.

And those who were missing seemed to be all men?

After aiming for a long time, he finally saw a nephew-grandson of the fourth branch rushing to hide in the flower path next to him, so he decisively took action and took him down: "Sneaky, what are you intending to do?"

That nephew was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was feeling guilty. Being shouted at by Uncle Han Four, he almost peed his pants. Without needing strict torture, he explained the whole story in a few words.

Uncle Han Four was shocked: "The mountain gate has been blocked for a day and a night, why didn't you come to report?"

That nephew said mournfully: "The brothers originally thought this was a small matter and didn't need to tell the uncles. We brothers joined forces to break the array..."

Uncle Han Four said angrily: "Why didn't you need to tell? Just relying on you bunch of rabbits, what array can you break? Forget it, I'll go and see! Who is the one setting up the array?"

That nephew hurriedly blocked him: "Why does Fourth Uncle need to go out in person? Just wait for us brothers to break it..."

Uncle Han Four strode forward, saying as he walked: "Is it from the South Sea? The sects and aristocratic families in the South Sea have never learned anything good. They go to kick the hall and block the gate of others all day long, especially the South Sea Sword Sect. The family has already reported to Mount Luo Fu, hoping they would suppress this crooked wind and evil spirit, but those few at Mount Luo Fu didn't listen or ask... Where is Han Tou Si?"

That nephew said: "Uncle Tou Si is also there. He was the first one to fight with the person who came, Fourth Uncle, please slow down..."

How could Uncle Han Four be stopped by this nephew? Soon he arrived in front of the mountain gate. Looking out, he saw dozens of Han family disciples and servants all in the open space in front of the mountain gate, posing in various strange sitting postures, watching the front intently with red faces.

They were sitting in mid-air, which was much more decent than the horse stances they usually posed when practicing body refinement!

Besides the sitting posture, there were various strange movements and expressions.

Uncle Han Four immediately understood that this was entering the enemy's illusion array!

Those who entered the array were all Han family men. Several young ladies and servants also came, but they didn't enter the array. Instead, they curiously hid on the side to watch this strange scene, covering their mouths and laughing secretly. Seeing Uncle Han Four, these young ladies and servants turned and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Looking through the crowd, Uncle Han Four saw Liu Xiao at a glance.

Having set up the array for a day and a night, Liu Xiao was truly exhausted. Seeing someone in charge coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew the great array, and seized the time to stuff a Qi-replenishing elixir into his mouth.

If the Han family stewards didn't come out, he would also withdraw the array to rest. This array was almost consumed by the Han family disciples working together.

A group of Han family disciples woke up like a dream, and also like they had just been fished out of the water. Their clothes were soaked through. One by one, they helped each other back into the mountain gate, and some were shouting to go to the kitchen to drink soup quickly. Those with sharp eyes saw Uncle Han Four and began to sigh when they left, making Uncle Han Four confused.

He couldn't manage so much. With a gloomy face, he came to Liu Xiao and demanded: "Fellow Daoist Liu, my Han family considers itself not lacking in the etiquette of hospitality. Fellow Daoist, you set up an array to block the gate; what is the reason for this?" ===== CHAPTER 338 =====
