Chapter 215

For a moment, everyone's expression shifted slightly, and they no longer dared approach the pillar of light in the slightest.

"What a powerful pillar of light. Does anyone know why such a pillar would appear in this borderland?"

At this moment, on the city wall of Long Cheng, Wudang's Grand Elder Qingyou asked.

Fahai of Jinshan Temple pressed his palms together with one hand and said, "In this poor monk's view, the pillar of light seems to be emanating Saint Might.

What lies within is likely a Secret Treasure, left behind by a Martial Saint in his lifetime." Having said that, Fahai's gaze burned with intensity—if it truly were a Martial Saint's inheritance, he would have to seize it.

The Grand Elder of Jingang Gate, Jin Zhong, snorted coldly, "This Martial Saint's Secret Treasure, this old man has reserved it first. Any objections?"

Hearing this, the experts of the various major sects immediately shot Jin Zhong looks as if he were an idiot.

The Grand Elder Heavenly Sword of Heavenly Sword Sect narrowed his eyes and said, "Heh heh, Jin Zhong, you'd best not get involved in this sort of thing.

With such powerful Spiritual Qi, it's clearly not some flesh-body inheritance." Jin Zhong snorted coldly, "I don't care whether it's a flesh-body inheritance or not. If I can snatch it, then it's mine."

Fahai pressed his palms together with one hand and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, please mind your image and refrain from vulgar language."

Jin Zhong sneered, "So what if I curse? If you've got the guts, come hit me!"

Fahai took a deep breath: "This poor monk has never heard such a strange request. Jin Zhong, benefactor, please conduct yourself with dignity."

Jin Zhong let out a cold laugh: "Can't be bothered talking with you bald donkey."

Hearing this, the crowd once again shot Jin Zhong looks as if he were an idiot.

This Fahai is notoriously petty. Sure enough, Fahai will definitely come after you, Jin Zhong, for a beating later.

This Grand Elder of Jingang Gate really is a talent!

The experts of the other major sects—such as Shadow Gate, Qixiu Workshop, and the Demon Sect—also appeared one after another.

The crowd even spotted the Ten Thousand Gu Sect and the Five Poisons Sect, though they were on the Immortal Empire's side.

The Immortal Empire also had sects like Lingyin Tianzong; they exchanged glances, and everything was clear at a glance.

Bu Fengshuang narrowed her eyes and, looking at Lu Zhan, asked, "Where is Xu Chen?"

Lu Zhan hurriedly said, "This subordinate has already gone to report to the lord, but the lord said to wait one hour."

The women were stunned—still have to wait one hour?

Fortunately, the residual might of this pillar of light wouldn't dissipate within an hour either.

Li Ruoling's expression turned solemn: "Within a thousand li in every direction, it's all golden light—touch it and you die.

But the light is showing a weakening trend. We need to quickly find a good position." Bu Fengshuang said, "That thicket over there seems to contain the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, shrouded by an Array—good for advancing or retreating."

She saw that the thicket was the Array's core.

If she wasn't mistaken, this was a Nine-Rank Top-Tier Array.

Yi Bingrou asked curiously, "Can you control that Array?"

Bu Fengshuang said thoughtfully, "I can, but I need to observe it for a bit. After all, the Array hasn't been activated at all yet.

Without any aura or manifestation, I can't tell what kind of Array this is." The women nodded: "Alright, in one hour, we'll move to take that thicket's position."

They looked up and saw that people opposite them were also eyeing that thicket's position.

Lu Zhan reminded them, "The people opposite are from Lingyin Array Sect. I hear their Sect Master is a Nine-Rank Array Master."

Li Ruoling sighed, "No wonder they set their sights on that thicket at the same time."

Bu Fengshuang said calmly, "Don't rush. I can handle it. After all, I won't let Xu Chen arrive with no ground to stand on."

Soon, an hour passed swiftly.

That golden pillar of light shooting into the heavens finally weakened considerably.

It had shrunk from a thousand li to a hundred li of impassable territory.

Faintly, the crowd saw that within the pillar of light, there seemed to be a woman's silhouette.

Vague and indistinct, seeming both real and illusory.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Lingyin Array Sect's Saint Son Guo Huai suddenly vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already within that thicket.

Then, with a speed too swift to cover one's ears, Guo Huai swiftly took control of the Ninth Grade Array's core.

In an instant, this Ninth Grade Array was activated.

The Array centered on the thicket and enveloped the surroundings.

In a flash, the area within five hundred li was entirely under Lingyin Array Sect's control.

Yin Suyun and the others' expressions shifted slightly: "Damn Lingyin Array Sect—acting this fast."

Their side still wanted to assess the situation, yet Lingyin Array Sect had just charged in, not fearing death at all.

Guo Huai looked at Bu Fengshuang with a beaming smile and taunted, "I heard you're Bu Fengshuang, the strongest Array Master of the Tianzun Dynasty?

Heh heh, but sorry, you Array Masters are still far too green before this Saint Son.

The best position is occupied by my Lingyin Array Sect, so the Secret Treasure won't be your turn later." He was grinning merrily—this Array could expand its range, so once the pillar of light vanished completely, he could cover the Secret Treasure within it.

This way, his Lingyin Array Sect could swiftly snatch the treasure.

Having thought this, Guo Huai laughed out loud, and the Lingyin Array Sect people followed with snickers. Bu Fengshuang said calmly, "No harm in letting you occupy it first. I can take it back right now." At the moment the Array activated, it emanated an aura.

She instantly knew what Array this was.

Breaking it was, for her, very simple.

Guo Huai clicked his tongue and said, "That's rich coming from you. You're worthy? Better hurry up and bring your man Xu Chen here.

But I recall Xu Chen doesn't know how to break Arrays. Oh, what a pity, what a pity. Of course, even if Xu Chen came, I'm afraid it'd be hard for him to do anything to me, hahaha." As he spoke, his face was full of mockery and derision, his expression utterly brazen to the extreme.

As if at this moment, neither Bu Fengshuang nor Xu Chen was worth mentioning. "Hmph!"

Bu Fengshuang's expression turned slightly cold—slandering her was fine, but slandering Xu Chen was not.

She snorted coldly; she was about to make her move.

The next second, he suddenly froze.

Because she sensed that the space behind Guo Huai had begun to twist eerily.

It wasn't a Space Vortex, but a distortion of space.

It seemed as though someone inside was about to burst out.

Guo Huai also felt something was off behind him. His pupils instantly contracted, and he was about to cast Space Movement to flee.

"Whoosh!"

But before he could, a hand radiating a violent aura suddenly shot out and clamped onto Guo Huai's throat, making Guo Huai's soul nearly leap from his body in terror.

A chill instantly shot from the soles of Guo Huai's feet straight to the crown of his head.

What great power was this? How could it ignore the Array and pierce through space to arrive?

He remembered—he hadn't offended any such great power! He was scared out of his wits on the spot, then dropped to his knees and begged, "Se-senior, sp-spare my life! I have no grudge against you, please don't kill me!" In an instant, Guo Huai's image was utterly ruined, trembling uncontrollably.

The people of the Spirit Seal Array Sect were also gnashing their teeth. Damn it—where did this great power come from, to be able to ignore the Array?

"Just now, you said I couldn't do anything to you?"

A tall, handsome, and dashing figure, along with his silhouette, fully appeared before the crowd.

At this moment, the thousands of great powers from both nations all saw this figure. One cry of shock after another rang out: "Xu Chen?"

They were stunned. How did Xu Chen manage to ignore a ninth-grade Array and seize Guo Huai with a single hand?

This was something they could never do!

Guo Huai was also dumbfounded. Such a fearsome great power was actually that Xu Chen who knew nothing about Arrays?

How could this be possible!

At this moment, Guo Huai was completely dumbstruck.
