Chapter 122 Eight Directions Bewildering Spirit Array

Chapter 122 Eight Directions Bewildering Spirit Array

Now that Old Man Ning and Fatty Duan were dead, and six others had left for the north midway, in reality, only seven people remained at Stone Lake. This number Wang Yu could already handle.

Taking out the Superior Grade Array Flags he had harvested from Old Man Ning, this Formation was different from the [Blood Mist Spirit Concealing Formation]he had purchased to protect his Temporary Immortal's Cave. This was an Entrapment Array.

Its name was [Eight Directions Bewildering Spirit Array]. The 'spirit' in the name referred to Divine Sense, not deities, and it had the effect of confusing the Divine Sense of Qi Condensation Cultivators, making it impossible for those within the Formation to discern directions.

It could be considered an Illusion Technique type Entrapment Array.

Wang Yu flipped his wrist, and with a clever flick, eight forearm-length Array Flags landed in the Vicinity of Stone Lake. After ripples spread through the air, everything returned to silence.

The naked eye could not see that a Formation had been set up here at all.

After confirming everything, Wang Yu tore his Ordinary Clothes to shreds, rubbed his cheeks, shaped a terrified expression, and began to pant heavily.

A short while later.

The night was even more desolate. Wang Yu landed from Mid-air onto the Surface of Stone Lake, his voice carrying into the water.

"Calamity! Calamity! Fellow Daoist Ning has been discovered by people of the Righteous Path!"

"Quick, someone come! Quick…"

The Surface of Stone Lake immediately began to ripple. Seven black-robed people broke through the water's surface and stood upon it. Seeing the disheveled Wang Yu, they anxiously asked, "What happened? Where's Old Ning?"

"Quick, follow me, Fellow Daoist Ning sent me to ask for reinforcements."

"Explain as we go."

"Okay—"

At this moment, the situation was urgent, and there was no time to judge the truth of Wang Yu's words. Making a quick decision was undoubtedly difficult. No one would have imagined that Old Man Ning had been directly killed by Wang Yu's brute force.

When everyone stepped into the range of the Formation, Wang Yu came to the side of the Cultivator with the highest Cultivation Level, a newly advanced Qi Condensation Ninth Layer Cultivator, and spoke rapidly.

"The Stone Lake City Lord was captured by people from the Righteous Sect. Fellow Daoist Ning happened to be discussing this year's Spirit Slave pricing when they started fighting. Many people… many Cultivators."

"And then?"

This person couldn't help but grab Wang Yu's shoulder, but before he could hear any feedback, his body involuntarily began to tremble, staring at Wang Yu with astonished and desperate eyes!

Puchi~

Casually taking out the somewhat hot heart, Person Wang, who was proficient in the Array Dao of sneak attacks, certainly wouldn't give up such an excellent opportunity. Even if he could win head-on, why not do something that could easily guarantee a one-hit kill?

Doing this kind of thing often naturally refines one's skills.

"Wang Yu!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"He killed Senior Brother Li, a traitor… kill him!"

"Hehe—"

The remaining six were all elites of the Late Qi Condensation Stage, but everything happened too quickly. According to the usual schedule, Old Man Ning would Return at least three days later to arrange the next Mission.

They knew the danger of infiltrating the Taihu Spirit Domain and were constantly wary of exposure. Even buying off the garrison Cultivators at Black Mountain Pass couldn't guarantee complete safety.

Because regardless of the Righteous Path or the Demonic Path, internal Factions existed within every Sect.

Within Righteous Sects, there were both moths who colluded with the Demonic Path and Righteous and Upright Cultivators filled with righteous energy. If caught by the latter, death was certain.

Wang Yu's actions followed the principle of "fast." Before they even had time to consider whether it was "reasonable," everything had already happened.

The [Eight Directions Bewildering Spirit Array]silently took Effect. The six people, with perfect coordination, jointly unleashed a strike. The chaotic and explosive Mystical Arts Energy all bombarded Wang Yu's body.

When the colors faded, Wang Yu stood unharmed in place, revealing a mocking expression towards the crowd.

"Useless, you will never be able to kill me."

Having spoken, he pointed his right hand forward.

A huge Ice Sword suddenly condensed, fiercely stabbing towards a Qi Condensation Eighth Layer Cultivator. The two companions beside him, seeing this, wore solemn expressions and together summoned defensive Magic Artifacts to try and help him.

But strangely, the Ice Sword suddenly traversed space, piercing through two of the three from behind, splitting them in half. The Ice Sword was too large; despite being a thrust, it achieved the Effect of a cleave.

Magic Artifacts, losing their Spirit Energy supply, fell towards the lake surface. The quartered Corpses plunged into the lake with a plop.

Of the seven people, four remained, and the survivors' expressions drastically changed.

Fear, terror, shock, suspicion, emotions varied, but all were exaggeratedly displayed on their faces.

"Impossible… impossible!"

"You are just a Qi Condensation Stage, how could you possess the ability to traverse space, let alone apply it to Mystical Arts… no, this is an Illusion Technique!"

As expected of disciples from a large Sect, after just one attack and paying a heavy price, they immediately understood the reason.

But—so what?

On the other side, in a field of vision different from the four people, Wang Yu had just collected his Spoils of War. On the Edge of Stone Lake in this District, eight Array Flags were emitting a glittering Fluctuation.

Eight ancient characters representing the eight directions appeared on a complex Spirit Pattern Array Diagram. Using Spirit Energy to supply this Formation consumed much more than he had imagined.

And those four people were cursing at the sky non-stop, standing back-to-back, spaced more than five meters apart, completely lost in their Divine Sense, what they saw and heard was different from him.

The Effect of the Formation was a bit too outstanding.

Was this really a High-Grade Formation of the Qi Condensation Stage? A trace of doubt arose in his heart, but his hands did not waste any time, mercilessly delivering killing blows.

The Ice Sword continued to sweep across, almost effortlessly killing all seven people here.

The murderous aura between Wang Yu's brows became even more intense.

After collecting all the Spoils of War, he then withdrew the Formation, Fallen Into the Edge of Stone Lake, and carefully examined the eight Array Flags.

"East, South, West, North, Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, Southwest."

These were the traditional Eight Directions, like a cross character dividing heaven and earth, but besides the Spirit Pattern Array Diagram just now, there were only eight ancient characters acting as nodes.

Wang Yu took out the Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest flags from this set of Array Flags and quickly discovered traces of repair on them.

If the patterns originally on the flags were exquisite works of art, then the repair marks made later were like clumsy graffiti by a child. Even someone unfamiliar with Array Dao could see the difference.

"So the East, South, West, and North flags are reforged, only First Grade, and the other two-character Eight Directions flags are repaired…"

Judging this way, Wang Yu felt that this was very likely a severely damaged Third Grade Array Flag, of considerable value.

No wonder the Effect was so good, strictly speaking, it should have reached the First Grade, Top Quality level, enough to be effective against Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The only drawback was the need for pre-deployment, but this drawback was a common problem with all Array Flag Type Treasures. In the midst of fierce fighting, unless an opportunity arose, few people could set up Array Flags mid-battle.

"Indeed, Old Man Ning has been in this line of work for a long time, his face is even aging, he should have some family fortune."

Fortunately, he chose to directly barge in. If he had delayed for a while, waiting for Old Man Ning to finish the matters at hand and focus his attention on him, he might have struck first.
