Chapter 194: Guesswork

"To think that a set of arrays has been set up here!"

Standing outside, Shen Yu carefully examined the Great Array before him; the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

Although the area covered by this array was not large, he discovered that the outer perimeter of this Great Array seemed capable of connecting with the Tingfeng Pavilion's array at any moment.

It was just that the Great Array was constructed very covertly, and the two sides were not yet linked together. But if there were a need, it could be connected anytime and anywhere with just a little arrangement.

The Tingfeng Pavilion's Great Array was connected to the ley lines of the entire Anzhou City; in other words, if needed, the Xinghai Gang could encompass the entire Anzhou City within the Great Array at any time.

Although he had not yet stepped into the core of the Great Array and could not fathom what its purpose was, just looking at the Blood Evil Qi on the outside, he knew this was definitely not a good array.

The Xinghai Gang went to such great lengths to do these things; it couldn't possibly be playing house.

A fluorescent light flashed from the Heaven and Earth Lock in his hand, directly sealing the entire Great Array within it. Afterward, countless Runes appeared from Shen Yu's hand and drifted into the outer perimeter of the Great Array.

If they wanted to connect to the ley lines, they would have to see if he agreed.

"You!" On the other side, inside the Great Array, Li Zehai looked at the person before him, seething with rage.

Both sides were already at daggers drawn; perhaps in the next moment, they would collide and slaughter each other.

Mo Li's words stung Li Zehai deeply, and only he knew what his own status was.

On the outside, he was the Xinghai Gang Leader in everyone's eyes, covering the sky with one hand in Anzhou City, but in reality, he was just a hired hand.

To put it nicely, he was someone else's subordinate; to put it bluntly, he was merely a Puppet. The one who truly called the shots was this old thing before him who appeared greedy for money and lust, yet devoid of desires.

The high-level members of the Xinghai Gang were all aware of this, but Mo Li never interfered in the internal affairs of the Xinghai Gang, nor had he ever tried to win over the high-level members.

He was equivalent to a supervisor sent from above; as long as you honestly finished the tasks, I don't care how you throw your weight around.

But the swordsmen outside, as well as those Undead, were all the handiwork of this old thing. Moreover, this person's strength was definitely not something they could compare to.

Even with several Elders assisting him by his side, facing the Mo Li before him, Li Zehai still did not dare to completely turn against him.

It was just that he had been suppressed for too long in his daily life, and now that the Black-Clad Guard had come to his door and directly turned his many years of effort into nothingness, that was why Li Zehai had such an outburst.

Now he already regretted it, but it seemed it was already too late.

"Li Zehai, do you dare to make a move on me?" Slowly walking to Li Zehai's side, Mo Li looked at him with an almost indifferent gaze.

"I can give you this position of Gang Leader, and naturally, I can take it back!"

"Kill him. Whoever kills Li Zehai will be the new Gang Leader of the Xinghai Gang. I said it!"

"Mo Li, do you really want to kill me? These are all my trusted aides here; you don't need to sow discord... Pfft, cough, cough!"

Having just opened his mouth and not even spoken two sentences, Li Zehai felt a sharp pain come from his chest; a blood-stained sharp blade had already pierced him completely through.

Struggling to turn his head, he saw a face he was familiar with; this was the most trusted of his trusted aides, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to protect him at his side.

"Luo Yan, you, you dare to betray me?"

"Gang Leader, it's not that I betrayed you; it's that you betrayed Gang Leader Mo. Gang Leader Mo is right; the reason my Xinghai Gang has fallen to its current state is all your fault!"

"You, you all!" Raising his head to look around, these former trusted aides of his were all looking at him with cold eyes, as if they were avoiding him at all costs.

At this moment, Li Zehai realized how ridiculous he was; he had thought he held great power and could stand on equal footing with Mo Li, not knowing that he was just a clown.

He had never held real power; everything was just a castle in the air.

"So you had already won them over!"

"You're wrong about that. I never interfere in your Xinghai Gang's affairs, nor have I ever had any interest in winning them over. How they choose is something they decided themselves!"

"Gang Leader, you are using the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman. Gang Leader Mo never promised us anything; all of this was our own voluntary choice!"

The sword in his hand was pulled out and then stabbed back in again. Leaning close to Li Zehai's ear, this former trusted subordinate appeared very excited.

"Li Zehai, you are just a Puppet; what right do you have to receive our loyalty? If Gang Leader Mo acknowledges you as Gang Leader, then we honor you as Gang Leader; if he doesn't acknowledge you, you are nothing!"

"Gang Leader Mo is right; you can sit in this Gang Leader position, why can't we? It's just being a Puppet; I'm willing!"

"You, you, Luo Yan, I was kind to you. Back then, you couldn't afford to eat and your whole family was about to starve to death; it was I who saved you. You actually return kindness with enmity!"

"Thank you for your life-saving grace back then, Gang Leader. Don't worry, after you die, I will burn paper for you!"

The sword was pulled out again. Luo Yan's face was filled with ruthlessness and ambition; he truly wanted the position of Gang Leader.

Having suffered enough bitterness, he also wanted to taste what it was like to be above ten thousand people, rather than being ordered around like a dog every day.

However, when his sword wanted to stab into Li Zehai's body again, he discovered that no matter what, his sword could not stab in.

At the same time, there was one more person by his side, someone he had never seen before, but whose portrait he had looked at countless times.

"Shen, Shen Yu!" The sword in his hand trembled and fell directly to the ground. Luo Yan retreated rapidly in terror, as if he had seen a prehistoric beast.

"How did you get here?" When he saw Shen Yu, Mo Li's heart also trembled, and he kept gesturing behind his back to manipulate the Great Array.

The Great Array had clearly already started; even if Shen Yu could break in, it was absolutely impossible for him to walk here without a sound.

Only he completely mastered the control method of this Great Array; even Li Zehai only knew a little bit. How did he do it?

However, before Mo Li could dwell on these things, something even more unsettling happened. He tried to connect to the Anzhou ley lines, only to find that several attempts had failed completely.

No matter how hard he tried, he could only control the Great Array under his feet; he was completely unable to connect with the ley lines of the entire Anzhou City.

Cold sweat could not help but cover his forehead. Without the entire Anzhou ley lines as support, relying only on the Great Array under his command, it was absolutely impossible to be an opponent.

After all, this Great Array was not created for attack in the first place; even with their long-term nourishment, it was simply not enough to look at.

"So that's how it is. This is a Blood Sacrifice Array; what great audacity you have!"

Standing in the array and examining it carefully, although he could not fully see what kind of array this was for a moment, Shen Yu still had a general judgment.

This before him was a Blood Sacrifice Array; once activated, it would instantly absorb the flesh and blood essence of all living things within the range of the array.

This was to sacrifice everyone in the entire Anzhou City; except for a few people, no one in the entire Anzhou City would survive.

Killing so many people in here was just to nourish the array with Blood Evil Qi. When the array was nourished enough and the construction was almost complete, the moment its power reached its peak would be the time for the Great Array to open.

"Do it!" With a loud shout, Mo Li soared into the air, his whole person seemingly fused with the Great Array.

And opposite him, several people looked at each other and also fiercely rushed toward Shen Yu.

Things had reached this point; they had no choice but to choose to fight to the death. Hopefully, the rumors in the Jianghu were as unreliable as they thought, and Shen Yu was not as terrifying as the rumors said, and all the rumors were just hearsay.

Facing the people rushing from all directions, Shen Yu was expressionless, simply extending his hand.

Terrifying Sword Qi erupted, directly severing the void and slicing a gap into the perfectly integrated Great Array, leaving a breach in the formation.

Mo Li, who relied on the Great Array, was instantly severely wounded; he had lost, utterly crushed and defeated.

The rumors in the pugilistic world are unreliable; it wasn't an overestimation, but a complete underestimation.

To call such an expert a rising star is no different from calling a burly man with a scarred face "sweetie"—isn't that just a joke that misleads people?

"Shen Yu, you cannot kill me. Do you know what kind of price you will pay if you kill me?"

"This is truly interesting. There is no one in this world I cannot kill; who do you think you are!"
