Chapter 17: Excessive Strength
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing this name, Lu Xiaoran’s face immediately twitched violently.
He had actually recommended such a place.
“Are you crazy? How dare you go to such a place? If you get infected by the evil aura, no matter how high your cultivation is, it will be useless.”
Cultivators were most afraid of being infected with evil aura. This evil aura was like a poison or maggots that attached themselves to one’s bones. It would be gradually magnified in the human body and would eventually affect the mind.
No matter how high your cultivation level is, you will gradually become a demon and kill people like flies.
!!
In the Great Zhou, those who were infected by the evil aura would immediately be forced to receive concentrated treatment and be purified with cultivation techniques.
Those who were not cleansed well would be directly killed without any room for discussion.
Fairies weren’t the only ones that could infect one with the evil aura. However, it was easiest to get infected by fairies.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Do you think the Acacia Faction is that kind of pheasant sect? They’re a large sect with many branches spread throughout the entire Great Zhou. They have an extremely good reputation. The fairies inside have been around for a hundred years and their sect is ranked at the top of the women’s sects in the Great Zhou Empire. They only do foot ma.s.sages. They’re not the kind you think.”
“But we still have to get the sect elders to check the array formation.”
“I got my disciple to inform them. The two of us have been working tirelessly for a month. Let’s go out and have fun. They won’t say anything. Moreover, it’s my treat. We’ll get the best girls tonight.”
Lu Xiaoran was about to refuse when w.a.n.g Cai’s pleasant voice sounded in his mind.
“Master, Master, we found an SSS-level genius near the Acacia Faction.”
“d.a.m.n!”
It was actually a SSS-level genius!
It had to be known that even the princess of the Great Zhou, Ji Wuxia, was only a SS-level genius.
d.a.m.n, it made Lu Xiaoran’s blood boil.
“w.a.n.g Cai, can you use Soul Guidance? Bring the other party here.”
“The other party is currently being pursued and will die before arriving.”
“…”
“Old Lu, what’s wrong?”
Li Daoran was surprised and puzzled by Lu Xiaoran.
He thought that Lu Xiaoran had been stimulated by their conversation.
Lu Xiaoran shook his head and casually took out a token.
“It’s nothing. Get your disciple to give this token to the elders. This is a new control token. Without it, the disciples won’t be able to easily walk out of this array formation.”
Then, he quickly left. Li Daoran looked at the token in his hand and chuckled.
“Old Lu, you’re still pretending to be innocent. In the end, you’re even more anxious than me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly chased after Lu Xiaoran.
He did not listen to what Lu Xiaoran told him at all.
They had only repaired the array formation. Why would there be a need for a new token?
Moreover, even if there was a slight change in the array formation, there were still many experts in the sect and the sect master who was at the Shattering Void Realm. Li Daoran believed that even without this token, the elders would have no problems with the array formation.
He could not wait to go to the Acacia Faction.
…
On the other side, Li Daoran’s disciple had already arrived at the Heaven Demon Sect’s hall under orders.
However, at this moment, there was only a group of elders in the hall and no sect master.
“Elder Li Daoran’s disciple, Chen Dashan, is here on Master’s orders to report to the Sect Master that the array formation has been completely repaired.”
“Oh! I didn’t expect Xiaoran and Daoran to be so fast.”
“Sect Master was indeed right. Unfortunately, Sect Master is in seclusion now and won’t be able to go and check for a while.”
“Actually, there’s nothing to check. Isn’t it just repairing the array formation? There’s a blueprint for the previous array formation. As long as the two of them aren’t idiots, it’s impossible for them to mess up.”
“That’s right. I think we should wait for Sect Master to come out of seclusion before checking it. That way, we won’t have to run back and forth.”
“That’s right, that’s a good plan.”
However, just as he finished speaking, a disciple rushed in from outside the door.
“Elders, something bad has happened!”
Everyone was shocked.
“What’s the matter?”
That disciple wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly said in a panic,
“The mountain gate has been sealed by the array formation. The disciples can’t get out. Elder Huang is trapped in the defensive array and can’t move. Elders, please quickly help.”
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked. The array formation had actually sealed the mountain gate? Moreover, even Elder Huang could not pa.s.s through. How was this possible?
It had to be known that Elder Huang’s cultivation had already reached the tenth level of the Spirit Realm and the peak perfection level. It was simply unbelievable that he could get trapped in the array.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Everyone hurriedly got up and rushed to the entrance.
As soon as they arrived, they saw many disciples gathered at the entrance of the mountain. Looking at the third layer, the short and fat Elder Huang was actually suppressed alive in the defensive array formation. He was unable to move and looked very comical.
“What’s going on?”
Many elders with low cultivation levels could not tell the profundity of this, but some elders with high cultivation levels instantly understood.
“Heavens, this array formation is actually several times more exquisite than the previous one!”
“Because the array formation is too exquisite, the power of the array formation has more than doubled. Therefore, the array formation token from before is no longer suitable. That’s why Elder Huang is trapped inside.”
“d.a.m.n, is this Daoran’s work or Xiaoran’s? Isn’t this too powerful?”
A disciple asked in confusion, “Elder, is it that powerful? I think the inscription of this array formation seems to be no different from before!”
The elder who spoke shook his head.
“Child, you’re still young, so you don’t understand the profundity of this. To be honest, in our entire Heaven Demon Sect, other than Elder Daoran and Elder Xiaoran, there are very few people who can reach this level in array formations.”
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that with this attainment in array formations, the one who built the array formation between the two of them is qualified to be directly conferred the t.i.tle of Sect Leader.”
Hiss!
Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in unison, and they felt their scalps go numb.
The other party had actually received such high praise from the elders. This was simply unimaginable.
It had to be known that regardless of whether it was Elder Li or Elder Lu, they were still very young. Among the elders, their cultivation levels were not very high.
As everyone spoke, the First Elder slowly walked in front of Elder Huang.
“Junior Brother Huang, why are you so obsessed with leaving the sect? How did you get stuck in a defensive formation?”
Elder Huang said with an aggrieved expression, “I didn’t want to either. I made an appointment with the matchmaker today to go on a blind date with the Reliance Sect next door. I originally thought that this array formation was nothing special and that I would be able to get through it easily, but who knew that this array formation had strengthened so much? I immediately got stuck inside!”
The First Elder’s face could not help but twitch fiercely.
“Do you really want to go on a blind date? I thought that was just an excuse for you to reject the Sect Master.”
“I wasn’t just trying to reject the Sect Master. I really did have a blind date. First Elder, quickly help me get out. I’m almost late for my blind date.”
“Junior Brother Huang, don’t worry. I’ll save you right now.”
“Thank you, First Elder.”
The First Elder took a deep breath and circulated the spirit energy in his body. He stepped forward and entered the defensive array.
After he stepped into the defensive formation, his entire expression instantly became very solemn. The heavy force pressed down on his body, making him feel that something was wrong.
The disciples behind could not help but have worried expressions.
“What happened, First Elder?”
“I don’t know. Judging from his expression, the situation seems to be a little serious! Could it be that he got stuck too?”
The elders chuckled.
“You kids don’t know your place. First Elder is a Creation Realm expert! It would not be possible for him to get stuck in this array formation.”
