Chapter 685: Thunder Array

As soon as Zhang Nuo's feet landed on the mountain peak, he saw two men wearing golden armor looking at him with expressions of terror! Judging by their cultivation, they were only at the Late Void Refinement Stage!

"Are you subordinates of Lei Fengyu?"

Upon being met with Zhang Nuo's chilling gaze, the two of them shivered all over! One of them hurriedly said:

"We two are here to guard the Thunder Array for Lord Lei!"

They had seen the scene in the sky just moments ago clearly; if even a figure like Lei Fengyu was no match for him, how could they be? They immediately said whatever they knew.

"Thunder Array? What is that thing?"

Upon hearing the term Thunder Array, a look of surprise appeared on Zhang Nuo's face!

"It is like this: Lord Lei possesses a divine ability of the Thunder Array, which is to condense his own thunder and lightning power into a Dharma Array, thereby allowing him to teleport to pre-set locations! This can save a lot of travel time, but teleporting through the Thunder Array requires consuming a large amount of Spirit Power! Also, there are only a few such landing points!"

In order to save their lives, the two of them revealed all the secrets of Lei Fengyu's Thunder Array! Zhang Nuo listened attentively, and after a moment, a bold idea formed in his mind!

Since Lei Fengyu could move quickly by relying on the Thunder Array, perhaps he could do it too! If so, he could completely use these locations set up with Thunder Arrays for rapid teleportation! Although it would consume some Spirit Power, for Zhang Nuo, this was nothing!

"Tell this Emperor, does this Thunder Array have any special techniques?"

"Yes! But this technique is known only to Lord Lei. Now that he has been slain by you, Senior, and we two are only responsible for guarding the Thunder Array, we do not know the details!"

The golden-armored man's words did not surprise Zhang Nuo; for such a powerful teleportation Thunder Array, the fewer people who knew about it, the safer it was!

"What benefits did he give you?"

Hearing this, the two golden-armored men looked at each other, neither understanding what Zhang Nuo meant by this question!

"Actually, there are no great benefits! In the True Immortal World, cultivators like us have no status at all and can be driven by True Immortals at will. However, Lord Lei treated us quite well; he would impart some cultivation techniques to us from time to time, which allowed our cultivation to advance to the Great Accomplishment Stage a bit faster!"

"So that's how it is! Are you two willing to guard this Thunder Array for this Emperor? The benefits will be no less than what Lei Fengyu gave!"

Just as the two were answering his questions, Zhang Nuo already had an idea in his mind, and he said this while lightly arching his brows! The two golden-armored men looked at Zhang Nuo in disbelief! In the True Immortal World, after slaying Lei Fengyu, not only did he have no intention of fleeing, but he even wanted to take Lei Fengyu's Thunder Array for his own—what kind of existence was this person?

Seeing that the two were slightly hesitant, Zhang Nuo's expression changed immediately!

"You are unwilling?"

As soon as the voice, carrying a hint of killing intent, rang out, the two golden-armored men were so frightened they knelt on the ground! They said repeatedly:

"This junior dares not! Since you, Senior, think highly of us, we will certainly guard the Thunder Array for you with all our might!"

Once he saw they had agreed, Zhang Nuo's expression softened significantly, and he immediately asked in detail about the specifics of the Thunder Array! Upon asking, he was greatly astonished!

In the True Immortal World, Lei Fengyu had dozens of such Thunder Arrays, meaning he could activate the Thunder Arrays to go to dozens of different places! It was just that the further the distance, the greater the consumption of Spirit Power.

Sweeping his gaze toward the mountaintop, Zhang Nuo saw the Dharma Array that was about a zhang in size. His figure flashed and he arrived directly on top of the Dharma Array, releasing all the thunder and lightning power from his body! Upon this trial, his heart was suddenly filled with joy!

It turned out that this type of teleportation Dharma Array could only be driven by thunder and lightning power! Other powers were of no use at all! If the thunder and lightning power was too weak, it wouldn't even be possible to start the Thunder Array!

"Lei Fengyu has indeed left this Emperor a good thing!"

With a smile on his face, Zhang Nuo tested it repeatedly several times before stepping off the Thunder Array! He turned back and said to the two golden-armored men:

"This Emperor will stay here for a few more days; I will leave once I have figured out the Thunder Array! During this period, if any cultivators from the True Immortal World come by, you should know what to do!"

"That is natural! We will not say a single word!"

The golden-armored men nodded repeatedly, but Zhang Nuo was still somewhat uneasy, so he raised his hand and cast two Restrictions, which sank into the bodies of the two men respectively!

"These two Restrictions will not interfere with your daily cultivation at all, but once you intend to betray this Emperor, the Restrictions will trigger immediately! As for the consequences, you can try them out!"

"Rest assured, Senior! We two will definitely keep our mouths shut!"

The bodies of the two golden-armored men were already soaked with cold sweat! Facing an existence at the True Immortal realm, even if Zhang Nuo hadn't placed Restrictions on them, the two would not have dared to act rashly!

After finishing all this, Zhang Nuo walked into a thatched hut! He sat cross-legged and carefully pondered the matters of the Thunder Array! This place was still some distance from his destination, but given Zhang Nuo's escape speed, a little delay would not affect anything!

After all, the Thunder Array was too useful; if he could master this method, it would play a powerful role in future battles against the Anti-Immortal Faction!

Zhang Nuo stayed on the mountain for three years. During these three years, the two golden-armored men were terrified, fearing that cultivators from the Immortal Palace would come here to ask about Lei Fengyu! Fortunately, no one had inquired about this matter during this time!

On this day, Zhang Nuo suddenly walked out of the room, called the two golden-armored men to his side, and handed two Jade Slips to them!

"These Jade Slips contain some of this Emperor's cultivation insights! I think they will be useful to you!"

The two took the Jade Slips and did not dare to look at them immediately, only thanking him incessantly! Zhang Nuo ignored them and walked straight onto the Thunder Array!

Immediately following, amidst the rumbling of thunder, Zhang Nuo's figure vanished!

Both golden-armored men revealed expressions of astonishment! One of them said suspiciously:

"How could this be? Could it be that Lord Lei's Thunder Array teleportation technique has been mastered by him?"

"Who exactly is this person! He calls himself the Human Emperor; as far as I know, there is no such figure as an Emperor in the True Immortal World!"

The other golden-armored man said, equally puzzled.

"Forget it! Being able to keep our lives is already quite good! This Human Emperor is also very generous; the cultivation insights in the Jade Slips are enough for us to ponder for hundreds of years!"

The person who spoke earlier sank his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip, and upon seeing it, he was immediately overjoyed!

Having received the benefits, and with Zhang Nuo's Restrictions still in their bodies, the two naturally dared not speak of Lei Fengyu's fall! Since they could make a fortune in silence, why not?

In an unknown valley, the surface of a Thunder Array suddenly flickered with a faint blue thunder light! At this moment, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old standing not far from the Thunder Array blinked her beautiful eyes several times, her expression uncertain!

The girl was wearing a pale red palace dress, her figure petite and exquisite, and her slightly reddish hair made her look even more distinct!

The Blue Electric Arc in the Thunder Array grew denser and denser, eventually almost shrouding the large area around it! In the center of the Thunder Array, a blurred figure gradually became clear!

The girl in the palace dress arched her delicate brows slightly and moved a few steps toward the Thunder Array, her eyes full of surprise! At the same time, the person in the Thunder Array stumbled out, and after landing, his figure swayed, only then shaking off the scattered electric arcs on his body!

"Lei Fengyu, what a cunning fellow. If this Emperor didn't also deeply understand the secrets of thunder and lightning power, I would have almost fallen for your trap!"

The person who came out was none other than Zhang Nuo! When he was on the mountain peak earlier, he thought he had mastered the Thunder Array, but when he actually used it, he discovered that Lei Fengyu had played some tricks inside the Thunder Array. If it weren't for the many strange thunders he possessed, he might have perished during the teleportation process!

"Who are you?"

A melodious and pleasant voice suddenly rang in Zhang Nuo's ears! Turning his head in a hurry, Zhang Nuo saw the girl in the palace dress!

Although this woman could not be considered a peerless beauty, she had the feeling of a girl next door! His thoughts raced, and Zhang Nuo understood that she might also be someone guarding the Thunder Array for Lei Fengyu!

"This Emperor is the one replacing Lei Fengyu!"

When Zhang Nuo discovered that the girl's cultivation was only at the Integration Early Stage, he no longer had anything to worry about!

"Replacing Lord Lei?"

The young girl was confused by Zhang Nuo's words; after a moment of hesitation on her pretty face and looking Zhang Nuo up and down, she suddenly drew in a sharp breath!

"You killed Lord Lei?"

It must be said, the palace-dressed girl's reaction was fast!

"Correct! This Emperor killed Lei Fengyu, and now all the Thunder Arrays belong to this Emperor. If you are willing, you may continue to stay and guard the Thunder Arrays for this Emperor; as for the benefits, they will only be more than when Lei Fengyu was here!"

Stepping forward, with a flash of his figure, Zhang Nuo arrived right in front of the girl, while the immense Spiritual Pressure on his body almost made the girl suffocate!

"I never expected that the arrogant Lei Fengyu would also be killed by someone! Hmph! It truly is heaven's will!"

The girl almost ignored Zhang Nuo appearing before her, a very strange expression appearing on her face!

"Fine! In any case, it is all guarding the Thunder Arrays; as for who I work for, this concubine does not wish to ask!"

With almost no hesitation, the girl directly agreed to Zhang Nuo!

"You aren't even going to ask what conditions this Emperor is offering you?"

"There is no need for that! Lei Fengyu's death, to this concubine, is the greatest benefit!"

At this moment, the girl looked indifferent!

"You and Lei Fengyu have a grudge?"

Seeing that the girl was somewhat unusual, Zhang Nuo asked another question!

"There is indeed some history! Back then, this concubine's parents died because of that person! I did not expect that after many years, he would actually die at the hands of Senior; it can be considered settling a matter of the heart for this concubine!"

The girl said indifferently, yet a touch of sorrow appeared on her pretty face!
