369: City defense formation, sixth-grade formation

Meng Hu Pass.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

Yang Xiu and the others immediately bowed respectfully to Xie Weilou when they saw him return.

They had been following the situation on the front lines; the Young Master, alone with his sword, had broken through many cities in West Chu and planted the Great Xia battle flag, displaying earth-shattering and astounding combat power that commanded their admiration.

Even the Old Marquis and the Marquis from back then could not achieve such a feat, but the Young Master did it, delivering a severe blow to West Chu.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently, "You all cannot hold Meng Hu Pass. Next, return to Western Xuan."

It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before West Chu dispatched a large army to reclaim Meng Hu Pass, and the small gift he had prepared would then come in handy.

"Yes, sir."

Everyone stood up straight, their expressions extremely serious.

At this moment, whatever the Young Master said, they would obey.

The Young Master's cultivation was extremely high, and his combat power was unparalleled. His path seemed to have surpassed that of the Old Marquis and the Marquis, inspiring awe.

"Back to Western Xuan!"

Xie Weilou smiled and waved his hand.

Then, everyone flew towards the distance...

An hour later.

Everyone arrived at Xi Xuan Pass.

"Open the city gates! Welcome the Young Master!"

The general on the city wall looked delighted when he saw Xie Weilou return and quickly shouted loudly.

Boom!

The city gates opened.

Xie Weilou and the others entered the city.

In seven days, Xi Xuan Pass had undergone some reconstruction, but it would still take a lot of time to fully complete it.

After entering the city.

Xie Weilou looked at Yang Xiu and the others, "You all go attend to your own matters. I'll ponder over the city-protecting array."

"Alright."

Everyone bowed and then dispersed.

"......"

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang flew to the city wall.

"Should I set up Restriction?"

Xie Weilou surveyed his surroundings, a thoughtful expression on his face.

His current array mastery was still insufficient. Setting up a sixth-grade offensive and defensive Restriction here would be about right.

"Kid, leave the array here to me."

Just then, Song Shenfeng flew over.

When Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang saw Song Shenfeng, they immediately bowed, "Greetings, Mr. Song."

"It's Song Senior from Great Xia Holy Academy!"

"Greetings, Song Senior."

"......"

Some of the surrounding generals were startled when they saw Song Shenfeng and quickly saluted.

They naturally knew Song Shenfeng's great name; he was a powerful existence capable of fighting against the Divine Court at the Dragon Transformation Realm Peak. They hadn't expected him to come to the western region.

"......"

Song Shenfeng smiled calmly, gesturing for everyone to dispense with the formalities.

Xie Weilou looked at Song Shenfeng in surprise, "Mr. Song, what was the outcome of your skirmish with those West Chu Divine Court experts?"

Song Shenfeng smiled and said, "That person was crippled by my single hand and has already fled. He was lucky to escape with his life."

Xie Weilou cupped his fists, "Mr. Song is mighty!"

"....."

Song Shenfeng gave a wry smile.

Mighty? If he hadn't intervened, that West Chu Divine Court expert would have certainly died!

However, if that had happened, Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang's identities would have been completely exposed. After all, slaying a Divine Court expert would instinctively make people think of the Phoenix Perch Mountain incident.

The world was vast, with experts as numerous as trees in a forest, and hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Exposing seven-tenths of one's strength was enough; one always needed to hide three-tenths as a trump card.

Xie Weilou asked, "Mr. Song, about this city-protecting array?"

Whoosh!

Song Shenfeng waved his hand casually, and a metal array disc flew out, instantly sinking into the ground beneath the city center.

He then took out four array flags, performing hand seals, and inserted the flags into the four corners of the city.

He intended to set up two overlapping grand arrays, one for offense and one for defense.

"......"

Xie Weilou was somewhat surprised; this array disc and these array flags all involved sixth-grade array mastery, which was quite impressive.

Song Shenfeng then took out some more materials. He looked at Xie Weilou and smiled, "I am not proficient in the Way of Arrays, but I have reluctantly studied it for a period. Setting up a sixth-grade array is no problem. If you, young man, wish to learn the Way of Arrays, you must find Fourth Mr.. He is the true master in that regard."

Fourth Mr., Spring Autumn Cicada, was the most unfathomable existence in the Holy Academy. Even Song Shenfeng held Fourth Mr. in awe.

Having been in the Holy Academy for many years, Song Shenfeng had only seen Fourth Mr. use arrays, Restriction, and strategies, never revealing other abilities.

But Song Shenfeng understood that Fourth Mr. was extraordinary; even after entering the Divine Court, he could not fathom him in the slightest.

The reason Xia Emperor was able to ascend to the throne was precisely because of Fourth Mr.'s existence.

Many people back then did not favor the Xia Emperor, thinking he had no chance at that position, including the Imperial Advisor and the Dean. But in the end, Fourth Mr. intervened, using his power and schemes to manipulate all parties, successfully placing the Xia Emperor on the throne.

Fourth Mr. was definitely the one who hid his true abilities the deepest in the Holy Academy. His origin, his identity, his strength—all were secrets.

Xie Weilou nodded gently, "I will certainly pay my respects to Fourth Mr. then."

Eunuch Huang and Song Shenfeng both mentioned Fourth Mr.'s array mastery, so he really had to go and learn.

"......"

Song Shenfeng smiled and continued setting up the array. Various materials flew out, landing in different positions, continuously perfecting it.

Half an hour later.

The two overlapping sixth-grade grand arrays were complete.

Song Shenfeng said, "The two sixth-grade grand arrays I have set up this time mean that unless a Divine Court expert appears, this city will be very difficult to breach."

Divine Court Realm experts were too rare among the various forces and would generally not personally attack a Xi Xuan Pass, so this city could be defended for a long time.

"Thank you, Mr. Song."

Xie Weilou bowed to Song Shenfeng.

Song Shenfeng glanced at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, then smiled and said, "I actually came this time to protect you two, but following you all the way, I found it completely unnecessary. Now that things are almost done, I will return to Tianqi City first."

"Alright!"

Xie Weilou slightly cupped his fists.

"......"

Song Shenfeng did not hesitate and flew away directly.

"Suddenly, I realized that people like Mr. Song are truly free and unrestrained."

Xie Weilou looked at Song Shenfeng's retreating figure, unable to help but feel a touch of emotion.

Unbound, coming and going as he pleased, he was indeed very uninhibited.

Lin Qinghuang smiled and said, "The quagmire beneath your feet might not actually be a quagmire. Later, you will discover that it was the path you came from, accompanied by scenery along the way that you will miss."

Xie Weilou surveyed Lin Qinghuang's delicate face and chuckled, "Lin Qinghuang, aren't you the most beautiful scenery? May This Young Master have a kiss?"

"Heh! I'm tired and weary. Farewell! Young Master, please make yourself at home."

Lin Qinghuang's figure flickered, flying towards a pavilion.

Xie Weilou smiled and sat on the city wall, taking out the incomplete array disc to continue studying it.

This array disc involved fifth-grade mastery. Carefully observing it would surely yield many insights.

One could not always follow the path others had walked, otherwise it would be difficult to forge one's own path. But before forging one's own path, one could advance by standing on the shoulders of giants...

The surrounding soldiers saw Xie Weilou sitting on the city wall. They stood tall and straight, not disturbing him, but a strange warmth filled their hearts.

The Young Master's willingness to sit with them on this cold city wall truly touched them.
