Leaving the Imperial City
"Even a Martial Emperor can't do anything about it?!"
Everyone was shocked. Xue Dangkong's hand that was holding the three scrolls began to tremble, almost losing his grip on them.
The so-called Protective Mountain Array was different from ordinary Spiritual Arrays.
As for the Mountain Protection Array, it enveloped the entire mountain. From this, one could see how vast the range of the Spirit Array was.
Every Protective Mountain Array was extremely precious. Only the most powerful families and sects had access to them. There was no such array in the entire Liuyun Dynasty.
"With my current ability, I'm afraid it's a little unrealistic to set up these three Ancient Spiritual Arrays." Xue Dangkong was a little uneasy. He had never seen such cryptic spirit diagrams before, and they were all great mountain protecting formations.
"These three Ancient Spiritual Arrays are all at Grade 9, and each of them has three thousand nine hundred Array Eyes. Putting aside whether or not it is possible to set them up, even if it is possible, the amount of Spirit Stones required to set them up would be incalculable. Therefore, I have already simplified these three Spiritual Arrays, leaving only one hundred and eight Array Eyes. In terms of difficulty, it is about the same as a Grade 6 Spiritual Array."
Chu Xingyun looked at the nervous Xue Dangkong and smiled faintly. "Even so, these three simplified Ancient Spiritual Formations are still powerful enough to trap and kill a Yin-Yang Realm expert. I'll leave this matter to you. Discuss it with Chu Hu. All the Spiritual Stones of the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild will be yours to use. There's no need to be thrifty."
Hearing this, Xue Dangkong glanced at Tiger Chu. Both of their hearts were beating violently.
This was no ordinary matter. The amount of Spirit Stones required was so huge that almost no clan could afford it.
But on the other hand, if it was done well, Qiyun Peak would become the base of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce.
And this mountain gate could both attack and defend. It was comparable to those super forces that had existed for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Chu Xingyun pursed his lips and said thoughtfully, "When the Chamber of Commerce has developed and the shops have expanded beyond the Northern Wilderness Region, I will rearrange them and integrate more Ancient Spiritual Arrays into them. As for now, this is how it will be for now."
Thinking back to the past, he had fought with the Xuanqing Martial Emperor for close to a hundred years, and had killed his way into the Xuanqing Martial Emperor's Xuanqing Heavenly Mountain several times.
The mountain was not very tall. It was only a thousand zhang tall. Chu Xingyun could easily shatter it with a wave of his hand.
However, the Martial Emperor of the Xuan Qing Dynasty had actually laid down 999 spiritual formations on this thousand-foot-tall mountain peak. When each spiritual formation cooperated with each other, its power was earth-shattering. Even Chu Xingyun would be trapped and unable to break free.
The ancient spirit formation in Chu Xingyun's hands was something that he had secretly learned back then. Originally, he wanted to study it properly and completely destroy the Profound Clarity Sky Mountain. He did not expect that it would actually come in handy now.
"Even a simplified ancient spirit diagram is so hard to understand. If it were a complete spirit diagram, I'm afraid my mind would shatter if I looked at it."
Xue Dangkong laughed dryly. He glanced at Chu Hu. The two of them did not speak much. They were full of energy and enthusiasm. They immediately left the courtyard and began to make preparations.
Seeing the two of them leave, Chu Xingyun's gaze turned and landed on Qin Tianyu. Before he spoke, he heard Qin Tianyu say, "Buying the mountain peak and laying down the Mountain Protecting Formation require a huge amount of spirit stones. During this period of time, I will properly manage the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild and do my best to release some new pills."
"Alright, I'll have to trouble you." Chu Xingyun smiled knowingly. Qin Tianyu was indeed the Patriarch of the Qin Family. His thoughts were indeed meticulous. He was just about to say these words.
"Oh right!"
Qin Tianyu was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He retracted his steps and said to Chu Xingyun, "A while ago, you asked me to pay attention to the Spirit Awakening Grass. I heard that someone seemed to have seen it in the Sky Flame Mountain Range."
Chu Xingyun's father, Chu Xingchen, was sealed in ice because of the Frost Sealing Spirit Sun Formation. He needed the help of the Spirit Awakening Grass to be able to safely awaken.
The Spirit Awakening Grass was extremely rare. It was almost non-existent in the Liuyun Dynasty. Therefore, Chu Xingyun asked Qin Tianyu to pay attention to it and see if he could find any traces of it.
"The Sky Flame Mountain Range doesn't seem to be within the Liuyun Dynasty's territory, right?" Lin Tianchong, who had been silent all this time, spoke. He had wandered the Northern Wilderness for many years and was very familiar with the surrounding mountain ranges.
Qin Tianyu nodded and said, "The Sky Flame Mountain Range is located in the Qian Martial Emperor's Dynasty. The mountain range stretches for thousands of miles. It is a huge mountain range of the Qian Martial Emperor's Dynasty. According to the news, someone once found traces of the Spirit Awakening Grass in the Sky Flame Mountain Range's Sunset Cloud Valley. This Sunset Cloud Valley is located at the border between the Liuyun Dynasty and the Qian Martial Emperor's Dynasty."
"Sunset Cloud Valley, huh …"
Chu Xingyun muttered to himself for a moment. Then, he said to Qin Tianyu, "Patriarch Qin, please organize the news and give it to me. Tonight, Senior Lin and I will go to the Sunset Cloud Valley."
"Master, why don't you leave this matter to me? If you go there personally, I'm afraid it will be dangerous." Yan Du said worriedly. Now that the Soaring Cloud Merchant Guild was developing so quickly, it would definitely attract the jealousy of others. If others knew about this, they might secretly send assassins.
However, Chu Xingyun waved his hand and said, "To me, the Spirit Awakening Grass is extremely important. I must obtain it without fail. I can also use this opportunity to go out and train and increase my strength."
"As for safety, with Senior Lin accompanying me, who can harm me?"
Chu Xingyun looked at Lin Tianchong and said with a chuckle. Instantly, Lin Tianchong's face trembled. He fiercely glared at Chu Xingyun, but did not say a word.
In fact, other than personally looking for the Spirit Awakening Grass, Chu Xingyun just happened to be on the way. He would pass by West Wind City, and he could also take the spirit beast egg.
Back then, he did not have the strength and could only temporarily seal the spirit beast egg. Now, his cultivation had reached the seventh layer of Spirit Gathering, which was countless times stronger than before. It should be enough for him to take the spirit beast egg.
"I'll go with you. I can also take care of the two of you." Yan Du was still worried. He was now at the fifth layer of Earth Spirit, and his strength was not bad.
Chu Xingyun still shook his head. "The situation in the Imperial City is unpredictable. You should stay behind, just in case. As for me, you don't have to worry. A mere Spirit Awakening Grass is not a problem for me."
Seeing Chu Xingyun so determined, Yan Du and the others did not say anything. In terms of methods, Chu Xingyun far surpassed them. If they followed, they would only become a burden.
The sun set in the west, and the curtain of night slowly shrouded.
Taking advantage of the thick darkness, Chu Xingyun and Lin Tianchong slightly disguised themselves, and quietly left the Imperial City.
Not long after the two of them left, Yin Tiancheng, who was in the Dreamy Cloud Martial House, received the news of the two of them. His gaze was cold as he muttered in a low voice, "In the teeth of the storm, this Chu Xing Yun actually left the Imperial City with a slave without any cultivation. Strange, very strange."
"Father, no matter how strange this matter is, we can't let go of this great opportunity." Yin Ruochen's voice was cold. Right now, he already saw Chu Xingyun as a thorn in his side. He could not wait to kill him.
Yin Tiancheng pondered for a while, and then said, "Chen 'er, gather all the elders of the Martial House and discuss the assassination. Also, you must seal the news and not let the slightest bit leak out. If the Lingxiao Martial House finds out, it will be difficult for us to take action."
"Don't worry, I will handle it properly." Yin Ruochen was overjoyed and hurriedly left.
