Beating a Trick at its own game
The Ancient Star Sect specialized in the Crape Myrtle Star Art. Apart from that, they also had a deep understanding of Spiritual Arrays.
Spiritual Arrays were formed by Array Cores. The more profound the arrangement of Array Cores was, the more powerful the Spiritual Array would be. And this was precisely the point where the mysterious Star Art could be integrated.
Hence, the Ancient Star Sect's Spiritual Array Dao was well-known in the entire Northern Wilderness Region.
The Elder Heishan that Liu Guanying mentioned was Liu Heishan. His cultivation wasn't high, only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. However, his attainments in Spiritual Arrays were extremely profound. He was the number one Spiritual Array Master of the Liu Family.
Hearing this, Liu Guqiong's eyes lit up, and he said in pleasant surprise, "A Spirit Array is unpredictable, and can be strong or weak. It can indeed test Luo Yun's strength to the greatest extent without harming him. This method can be said to be wonderful!"
"However …"
Pausing for a moment, Liu Guqiong continued, "How to lure Luo Yun into the Spiritual Array and lure him to break it with all his strength is a big problem. This kid isn't stupid. He's quite shrewd."
"No matter how shrewd he is, he's only an eighteen -year-old youth." Liu Guanying's voice carried a trace of disdain. "As long as he's a youth, it's inevitable that he'll be arrogant. As long as we provoke him with words, he'll easily fall into our trap."
"Today, his actions at Pan Mountain proved this point. Just because of a disagreement, he cut off an arm. He even humiliated our Liu Family in front of everyone. If he's really shrewd, he wouldn't have done such things."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun laughed in his heart.
This Liu Guanying was crafty and cunning. He was Liu Guqiong's think tank and was in charge of many matters of the Liu Family. But because of this, he was arrogant and thought that he could play everyone in the palm of his hand.
In his eyes, Chu Xingyun's actions at the Wanjian Pavilion were just boasting. No matter how shrewd an eighteen -year-old youth was, he was far from being his opponent.
"More importantly, Luo Yun is alone. He doesn't have any companions. If we make a move now, our chances of success will be the highest." The more Liu Guanying thought about it, the more excited he got. If he could probe Luo Yun's strength before the Six Sects Tournament, he would be greatly rewarded by the clan.
Liu Guqiong thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Moreover, what happened today had caused him to lose face. He also wanted to find a way to ruthlessly dampen Chu Xingyun's spirit so that he would not dare to act recklessly again.
Using the power of the Spirit Array to trap Chu Xingyun and at the same time test his strength, this was undoubtedly a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
"That Shui Liu Xiang is also quite mysterious, but she has Ye Qianhan by her side. It'll be difficult to scheme against her, but Luo Yun is alone. He can easily succeed," Liu Guanying added, which tempted Liu Guqiong even more.
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. If you succeed, I'll definitely reward you greatly!" Liu Guqiong finally made up his mind. However, he reminded softly, "Although it's important to probe him, we can't go overboard. After all, he's a participant. We can't take the risk."
Liu Guanying revealed a scheming expression and smiled, "Patriarch, you don't have to worry about me."
Looking at Liu Guanying's smiling face, Liu Guqiong gradually relaxed. He turned his head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky. He couldn't help but reveal a smug expression.
Everything was going according to his plan!
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Chu Xingyun quietly left the pavilion and ran towards the courtyard.
At this moment, the night wind whistled endlessly, and the coldness seeped into one's heart.
However, Chu Xingyun's expression was even colder than before. He had clearly remembered the conversation between Liu Guqiong and Liu Guanying. He hadn't forgotten a single word that had been spoken.
Not only did he know where Liu Mengyan was imprisoned, but he also knew about Liu Guqiong's coldness. This would be of great help to him in rescuing Liu Mengyan in the future.
It didn't take long for the coldness on Chu Xingyun's face to dissipate.
He seemed to have thought of a countermeasure. A faint smile hung on the corner of his lips as he muttered, "As a son, I can't let the Liu Family off so easily for treating my mother like this. But now isn't the best time. However, I can beat them at their own game and take back some interest from them."
"I only hope that Liu Guanying doesn't look down on me. Otherwise, it'll be too boring …"
The smile on Chu Xingyun's lips deepened. After planning everything, he increased his speed to the limit and quickly returned to the courtyard.
Whoosh!
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, a figure suddenly rushed over.
On the ground, Xiao Hun was looking up at Chu Xingyun. Its lively eyes were wide open, as if it was very surprised by Chu Xingyun's return. It waved its little paws up and down.
"Little guy, you woke up pretty quickly." Chu Xingyun smiled faintly. He thought that Xiao Hun would go through a long period of hibernation after swallowing the Voidspirit Fruit.
After carefully sensing, Chu Xingyun found that Xiao Hun's body didn't change at all. It was still small and cute, but the aura it exuded had become much more vigorous. It was quite different from before.
However, Chu Xingyun still couldn't accurately determine Xiao Hun's cultivation level. This little guy seemed to be an anomaly. Common sense was useless to it.
At this time, Xiao Hun waved its paws even faster. Its expression was a little anxious. It jumped around in front of him and pointed at the storage ring many times. Its behavior was a little strange.
"You want me to summon White Tiger?" A strange look appeared on Chu Xingyun's face. As soon as he spoke, the small soul immediately nodded its little head.
"I really don't know what to do with you." Chu Xingyun said helplessly. With a wave of his hand, a silver light bloomed and a White Tiger with a metallic glow appeared in the open space of the courtyard.
Xiao Hun's eyes lit up. It jumped up high and instantly disappeared into White Tiger's body.
Then, under Chu Xingyun's gaze, a bright light surged out of White Tiger's body. Halos spread out from White Tiger's body. The mysterious power in Xiao Hun's body seemed to roar.
"Soul Power?" Chu Xingyun's expression stiffened. He knew that Xiao Hun was an anomaly and could control Soul Power. However, Xiao Hun was still in its infancy and its power was limited. It could barely control Soul Power. However, Xiao Hun's Soul Power had increased several times!
Could it be that Xiao Hun's Soul Power had improved greatly after swallowing the Voidspirit Fruit and gradually awakened the Spiritual Beast Bloodline?
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! The Soul Halos flashed one after another and completely enveloped White Tiger's body. Those halos overlapped with each other and seemed to form countless inscriptions. If one looked at them carefully, they would make one feel dizzy.
After a while, the Soul Halos dissipated.
