In the Holy World, inside the Xuanzong Sect of Chu Yuan Valley, Lin Yun had been very quiet for the past two days. He didn't do anything and looked very relaxed. However, he wasn't that relaxed in his heart. No one knew what kind of serious problem he was about to face.
Facing the pressure of more than ten sects, he felt very uncomfortable. The Xuanzong Sect had never felt so sullen, except when they were in the Immortal World. However, later on, those sects that offended the Xuanzong Sect either died or were annihilated. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they eventually became the vassals of the Xuanzong Sect. It could be said that the Xuanzong Sect was an absolute overlord in the Immortal World.
Looking at this place, not to mention the overlord level, it was already very good that they weren't annexed by others. They had to be careful everywhere. Where was their former high-spirited and vigorous spirit? Where was their former recklessness?
There was no way around it. It wasn't up to them to do whatever they wanted. The environment was changing. Everything was changing according to the changes in the illusion.
"Sigh!"
A sigh sounded in the main hall of the Xuanzong Sect. It was filled with sorrow and complicated emotions. Thinking about the enemies outside the door, it gave him a headache.
"Evil Phoenix, I hope you can hurry up. Although my father left behind a formation … it won't last for long!" He wasn't foolish enough to think that a single formation would be able to stop everyone.
Ruo Lin and Yun Zhen had such thoughts. It wasn't up to him to do what the other sect leaders wanted.
"Father, where are you? The sect is in trouble. Do you … know?" He looked into the distance with undisguised melancholy.
… … …
"How could I forget? Is Liu Huai back?"
Outside the Xuanzong Sect, a disciple looked at the sect leader and asked in a deep voice.
"Sect Leader, Senior Brother Liu hasn't returned yet." The disciple came to Kui Long and bowed. He spoke with a trembling voice, as if he was very afraid of Kui Long.
"What?"
Looking at that disciple, Kui Long raised his voice by a few decibels. He stared at that disciple with a murderous look, causing the disciple's heart to tremble.
With a "plop" sound, that disciple's legs went soft. He knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed, "Sect Master, Senior Martial Brother Liu might have been delayed by something on the way. Why don't we wait a little longer …"
Just as the disciple was about to ask Kui Long to wait, Kui Long's expression changed abruptly. His killing intent surged. The disciple trembled and quickly changed his words. "Sect Master, disciple … disciple will go and look for Senior Brother Liu. I will definitely bring him back."
Then, without waiting for Kui Long to respond, I stood up and flew into the distance.
"Hmph, there really isn't a single person who can make me worry."
Kui Long gave a cold snort and closed his eyes again. As for Liu Huai, he also wanted to know why he hadn't returned from the Spell Formation Guild.
According to his calculations, five days should be more than enough for him to travel from here to the Formation Guild. But now...
"Forget it, I'll give him a few more days to live. Hmph!" Kui Long closed his eyes again.
… … …
Dragon Origin City, in a secret room under the Formation Guild. If Kui Long were here and saw the person who had been locked up all this time, he would probably be dumbfounded.
At this moment, the person locked up in the secret room was none other than Liu Huai, who had come to ask for help. However, at this moment, Liu Huai's condition was not … particularly good. He was curled up in a corner with tears in his eyes. He looked extremely wronged.
Especially with the bruises all over his face, it was a horrible sight to behold.
"Who did I offend? It was my master who asked me to come here. Why did you lock me up?"
Just three days ago, Liu Huai came to the Formation Guild and asked for a formation master to decipher the formation. Furthermore, he offered a decent price. At that time, there were formation masters who agreed to it. After all, it would be a bastard who didn't want to earn money. Furthermore, compared to alchemists, formation masters didn't need that much money. However, it was still quite expensive.
Zhu Tai was an Emperor-level formation master in the Formation Guild. He had a high status in the Formation Guild. Originally, it was impossible for him to go, but he really wanted to see the formation that Liu Huai encountered.
However, when he asked Liu Huai what the sect was, Liu Huai told him truthfully that it was the Kuishui Sect. However, when he heard this sect, Zhu Tai's expression changed abruptly. Perhaps Liu Huai didn't notice it, but the others did.
At that time, Liu Huai was filled with joy. He felt that he had definitely done a great service this time. However, who would have thought that just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Tai's cold and emotionless voice entered Liu Huai's ears.
"Go, lock him up for me. Find someone to beat him up every day. Also, within three days, I want to know everything about the Kuishui Sect. Remember, everything!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present wanted to curry favor with this Emperor-level formation master. Just like that, Liu Huai was locked up, and he lived a great life every day. Every day, there would be people who would come to show him a show of love.
As for the information about the Kuishui Sect, under the temptation of Zhu Tai, he was thoroughly investigated. Even Kui Long found out about it a few times at night.
Thinking about the unfair treatment he had received during this period of time, Liu Huai really wanted to figure out what was going on. How did he get caught for no reason, and why he was inexplicably touched by someone's fists of love every day?
Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to know all of this. The only one who knew was Zhu Tai himself.
In a room on the sixth floor of the Formation Guild, Zhu Tai's face was gloomy as he looked at the memorial tablet in front of him. On it was written his beloved wife, Yun Meng.
"Meng 'er, do you see this? The person who could do nothing to me back then, I … have found him."
As he spoke, tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with killing intent. It was so dense that it made people tremble in fear.
"Kui Long, I didn't look for you, but you came to me. Hmph, this time, I will let you know what it's like to reap your soul in hell."
As he spoke, he got up and walked up the stairs. He came to a room and gently knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, in the room, a white-haired old man was sitting in front of a table. When he heard the knocking, he put down the brush in his hand and replied with a smile, "Come in."
With a sound, the door opened. Zhu Tai's figure appeared in the old man's sight.
If the people in Dragon Origin City saw the old man, they would definitely be shocked. It was not because of other reasons, but because this old man was the only first grade Saint Grade Formation Master in the entire Formation Guild.
Moreover, he had lived for a very long time. Everyone only knew that when the Dragon Origin Formation Guild was established, Mu Tian and Elder Mu had already existed.
Looking at Elder Mu, Zhu Tai let out a long breath. He walked up to him and said, "Master, I would like to leave for a while."
"Hehe, you still haven't let go of the hatred from back then?"
"Master, I …" Zhu Tai opened his mouth but hesitated. He wanted to vent his anger, but before he killed his enemy, he could not vent the depression in his heart.
"Why bother!"
"No …"
Looking at Elder Mu, Zhu Tai was filled with hatred. "What Kui Long did to Meng 'er back then, I will never be able to let go of it in this lifetime."
"Master, don't you know what happened back then?"
"Sigh, but it's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. If you continue like this, you will fall into your inner demons. Is it really worth it? Are you sure you want to walk down the path of revenge for someone who is no longer around?"
He could not bear to see his beloved disciple deviate from the right path. He had always understood Zhu Tai's thoughts, but he had always wanted to change. He did not expect that in the end, his efforts would be wasted because of Kui Long.
Of course, revenge was not wrong, but he did not want his disciple to become a murderer. In his world, there was no unresolvable hatred, only obsession that could not be let go.
He knew very well that even if Zhu Tai really killed Kui Long, the guilt in his heart would not lessen at all. This was because this obsession had already become his inner demon. Even if he really wanted to take revenge, Kui Long was already gone.
"Master."
Looking at Elder Mu, Zhu Tai lowered his head. Not only did the killing intent in his eyes not lessen, it became even more intense.
"If I don't take revenge, I'm afraid that my cultivation will never reach its peak, but …"
"I …"
"Sigh!" Letting out a long sigh, he shook his head and waved his hand. "Go, I know what you're worried about. Now, Kui Water Sect is with Xuanzong Sect. If you want to take revenge, I'm afraid that you will offend the other sects."
"You're afraid that they'll do something to the Array Formation Guild and this old man, right?"
Hearing this, Zhu Tai lowered his head. He did not say anything, but he gave his answer.
"Haha!"
"You brat!"
Looking at his disciple, Elder Mu could not help but laugh. Back then, Zhu Tai still had a trace of kindness in his heart. That was why he became his disciple. Even now …
"Don't worry!"
Giving Zhu Tai a reassuring smile, he continued, "Have you forgotten that I am invincible in a third grade city?"
"Say that here …"
Pointing to the surroundings, he continued, "I am the leader of the Array Guild. Do you think that they will be willing to offend the Array Guild and do something to me?"
"Yes, but that won't do. Do you think that they can withstand the Array Guild's revenge?"
"I should have known. I am a first grade Saint Grade Array Master. Even if they want to take action, they will have to see if they have the guts to do so and how angry the Array Guild is!"
Hearing this, Zhu Tai, who was still worried, calmed down. Indeed, no matter the situation, he would not dare to let those people take action. En!
Since that was the case, his original worry was gone. Next, it was time for him to take revenge!
Bowing, he said, "Master, in the first half of my life, I lived for my parents and relatives. In the second half, I lived for you. Without you, there would be no Zhu Tai, so …"
"I will overcome the obsession in my heart and come back to be filial to you. Don't worry, I promise that I will not die outside!" Saying this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"En, en, en!"
Elder Mu nodded in relief, "Oh right!"
Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly said, "That person from Kuishui Sect asked you to break the array. Did he say what kind of array it was?"
"Uh … I think … he did!" Saying this, Zhu Tai sank into his memories and recalled what Liu Huai said a few days ago.
"That's right. That person seemed to have said that the other party's array was something that even the combined attacks of several Dao Fruit Saints could not break. As for the details, I …"
"What?"
Elder Mu exclaimed. He stood up and stared at his disciple with his eyes wide open, "Are you sure that's what he said?"
Seeing his master's huge reaction, Zhu Tai did not hide anything and nodded, "Yes, that's what he said. But it's nothing. Master, you can do it, right?"
Hearing this, the corner of Elder Mu's mouth twitched violently. He was stunned on the spot.
Indeed, he could do it. However, it depended on the extent. He could indeed make a Dao Fruit Saints attack the array and not break it, but … that was only temporary. At most, it could last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After that, the array would not be able to hold on any longer and … shatter!
If it was really like what the other party said, then this array … was very likely to be of a higher level. Moreover, the array master who set up this array was very likely to be from that sect.
Thinking of this, Elder Mu could not help it. For so many years, his array formation realm had been stagnant. No matter how much he comprehended the Dao, it remained stagnant. If he could observe a higher level array formation, it would undoubtedly be the best choice to improve his realm.
It was just that he had not been able to find that miracle. If this time …
"Master, you … are you alright?"
In his life, this was the first time he saw such a strange side to his master. He really wanted to know what kind of thing could make his master lose his composure!
However, at this moment, how could Elder Mu care about anything else? He only wanted to go to the Xuanzong Sect and see the existence of that array formation!
Thinking of this, he raised his head, "Little Tai, you see, it's dangerous for you to go alone."
"Uh …"
Looking at his master's hungry expression, Zhu Tai could not help but shudder. At this moment, he felt like he was the meat in his master's eyes, and his master was like a wolf waiting for an opportunity to pounce.
"Master … I …"
"Let's go, I'll go with you. When the time comes, I …"
"Reporting, President, there is a disciple of the Kuishui Sect outside the door requesting an audience!"
The sudden voice interrupted Elder Mu's words. However, the strange thing was that this time, Elder Mu was not angry. Instead, he was full of smiles, which was very abnormal!
"Hehe, I originally wanted to ask that person to lead the way. Now, the person leading the way is here. As for him …" Thinking of the person he caught two days ago, killing intent flashed across his eyes. A smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "Go, the person in the secret room is useless now. Kill him!"
When the person at the door heard this, he bowed and nodded, "Yes, President, this subordinate will go now!"
After that, the person outside the door retreated.
"Master, what are you …" He did not understand what was going on with his master!
"Let's go, I'll accompany you to take a look. While protecting you, I'll also see what level the array formation of the Xuanzong Sect is. Maybe it can give me some hints to break through."
Finally, Zhu Tai understood the reason for this matter. After all this time, it was because of this matter.
However, this was also good.
Nodding, a smile flashed, "Since that's the case, let's go. Don't let the Kuishui Sect wait too long!"
