197: Small Eight Evil Mysterious Fire Formation, Discussions at Xiaozhu Peak

Chapter 197: Small Eight Fiend Profound Fire Array, Discussions on Xiao Zhu Peak

After Lü Shun finished speaking, he looked at the five Disciples neatly lined up behind him, dressed in Incense Valley attire.

"Remember!"

"This time's Seven Peaks Tournament will no longer be their Qingyun Sect's own 'grand event'."

"Bringing you here is not just to fight for the right to lead the upcoming destruction of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect."

"It is for you all to make a name for yourselves and achieve fame!"

As he spoke, Lü Shun looked at the leading young man among the five Disciples.

"Especially you, Xun'er!"

"The Sect Head gave you that rare treasure so you could step on the Qingyun Sect to establish the might of my Incense Valley; don't disappoint the Head Disciple Brother."

The young man called Xun'er stood tall, his face stern, his eyes revealing arrogance.

Hearing Lü Shun's words, Li Xun nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Shishu (Martial Uncle)."

As he spoke.

He tightened his grip on the Nine Yang Ruler in his hand; at this moment, a red array rune on the sheath flickered faintly.

Li Xun looked at the ultimate move his Master had specially prepared for this battle.

A sealed, small Eight Fiend Profound Fire Array...

Only waiting for the critical moment to activate and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

"Master is too cautious."

"The current generation of Disciples in the Qingyun Sect is so weak; only Xiao Yicai is worth a look."

"As for the so-called geniuses like Qi Hao, Su Han, and Lu Xueqi, they are likely just boastful, worthless figures hyped up by the Qingyun Sect."

"Since Xiao Yicai cannot make a move this time, it's absolutely impossible for anyone to be my opponent."

Lü Shun looked at Li Xun, a hint of imperceptible expectation flashing in his eyes, and nodded slightly.

After all, with the small Eight Fiend Profound Fire Array personally sealed in the sword sheath by the Head Disciple Brother, unless the opponent is in the Shangqing Realm, they would absolutely not be Li Xun's opponent.

And among the young Disciples of the Qingyun Sect, is there anyone in the Shangqing Realm?

Absolutely impossible!

After all, a Genius like Li Xun is currently only at the 8th layer of the Shaoyang Realm; wanting to break through to the Zhiyang Realm, which is equivalent to the Qingyun Sect's Shangqing Realm...

Without over a decade, don't even think about it.

"This time, it is destined for my Incense Valley to make a name for itself and achieve fame."

However, Shangguan Ce looked towards the Qingyun Mountain Range at this moment and reminded them coldly.

"Xun'er, although the Qingyun Sect is currently in decline, you must not take it lightly."

Although they had come this time, the Incense Valley had prepared for a long time.

Their intelligence network had long since spread throughout the Qingyun Sect, knowing the Cultivation Techniques and methods of many outstanding Disciples in the tournament.

Shangguan Ce was also not worried at all that under normal circumstances, Li Xun, the Incense Valley's leading Disciple, would lose.

However, there were still some hidden worries...

After all, the Qingyun Sect has been passed down for a thousand years; it's hard to guarantee that old scoundrel Dao Xuan won't have some hidden trump cards for the Disciples to use.

Just like their Incense Valley.

Lü Shun, however, let out a dissatisfied cold snort: "Senior Brother Shangguan, we are fully prepared, how can this Qingyun Sect possibly withstand us?!"

"Don't boost others' morale and diminish your own might before the battle has even begun."

Shangguan Ce frowned slightly, "Junior Brother Lü, don't forget that I am the leader designated by the Sect Head."

After speaking, he glanced at Lü Shun, not bothering to argue with him.

Instead, he took out a spirit talisman from his pocket; the talisman glowed, inscribed with complex arrays.

This was refined by the Elders in the valley, having expended a great deal of effort; it can set up a protective grand array at a critical moment.

He distributed the spirit talismans to the Disciples behind him, instructing them: "Keep them close to your body, and don't damage them; they can help you turn the tide at a crucial moment."

"Yes, thank you, Shishu (Martial Uncle) Shangguan."

After a brief regrouping, everyone continued towards the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate.

Along the way, the mountain forest was quiet.

As they reached the mountainside, clouds and mist suddenly churned ahead, and a melodious bell sound drifted over, seemingly welcoming guests, yet also like a warning.

Shangguan Ce raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop, his gaze scanning the surroundings vigilantly, and said in a low voice.

"We have entered the Qingyun Sect's alert range; all of you raise your spirits and let the Qingyun Sect Disciples see the might of my Incense Valley Disciples!"

At this moment.

Several figures flashed out from the clouds and mist; the leader was dressed in Qingyun Sect attire, with an extraordinary demeanor, none other than Zeng Shuchang, the Head Seat of Qingyun Sect's Fenghui Peak.

Zeng Shuchang looked at Shangguan Ce and the others and bowed.

"Distinguished guests from Incense Valley, you have come a long way; we apologize for not welcoming you sooner, and hope for your understanding."

His gaze swept over everyone one by one; upon reaching Li Xun, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"I didn't expect that among the Incense Valley Disciples, there really is a Genius?!"

"But unfortunately, before Su Han, he is merely a stepping stone."

Zeng Shuchang chuckled inwardly.

His eyes were filled with anticipation for the expressions Shangguan Ce and the others would have after learning about Su Han's cultivation.

Lü Shun, however, returned the greeting with a forced smile: "Head Seat Zeng is too kind. This time, bringing these untalented Disciples to the Qingyun Sect, we hope your Qingyun Sect will not hesitate to offer guidance."

"Don't let us be unable to fully enjoy ourselves!"

Between the words, the tension was palpable.

Zeng Shuchang's smile did not diminish, "Naturally."

Then he turned sideways, "Please, everyone."

"The Sect Head has already arranged resting places for everyone on the mountain; the Seven Peaks Tournament officially begins tomorrow."

"At that time, we hope the Disciples of both our sects will showcase their respective styles."

Everyone followed Zeng Shuchang and walked up the mountain.

Qingyun Sect, Xiao Zhu Peak.

After Su Han finished plundering the Water Kirin's entries, he took Xiao Bai and bid farewell to the Spirit Venerable Water Kirin, and had now returned to Xiao Zhu Peak.

As soon as he stepped into the peak, he felt an extraordinary liveliness; people were coming and going everywhere, and the Disciples' faces all held a hint of excitement and anticipation.

Su Han didn't pay too much attention to the liveliness.

After all, tomorrow was the highly anticipated Seven Peaks Tournament of the Qingyun Sect; this was a grand event for the Qingyun Sect that happened once every sixty years.

Xiao Zhu Peak, usually quiet, was now also imbued with a different kind of lively atmosphere, which was quite normal.

He was just about to return to his residence to rest and organize his thoughts when he heard bursts of discussion from the surrounding Disciples.

"Have you heard? The Disciples from Incense Valley have arrived!"

"I heard. And I heard that those who came this time are all powerful figures from Incense Valley, like Li Xun and Yan Hong, Disciples of the Incense Valley Master...

They are known as the Twin Prodigies of Incense Valley.

There are also Nangong Lie and Liu Xiaoxiao; their strength among the younger generation of Incense Valley is also top-notch."

"Hmph, what does it matter how powerful they are? Can they compare to our Junior Brother Su Han?

Junior Brother is a genuine Genius; he was able to enter the fourth layer of the Yiqing Realm in just a few months.

Now, he has probably already reached the eighth or even ninth layer of the Yiqing Realm, right?!

How can people from Incense Valley compare to such talent and cultivation!"

"That's true. With Junior Brother here, Incense Valley is bound to lose this time!"

At this moment, Su Han listened to everyone's discussions and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"Eighth layer of the Yiqing Realm... or even the ninth layer?!"

Just as he was thinking.

At this moment, a familiar figure quickly walked towards Su Han.

She had an anxious look on her face, "Junior Brother, I finally found you."

"Quickly come with me to see Master."

Looking at Senior Apprentice-Sister Wen Min, with her anxious expression and slightly disheveled hair on her forehead, it was clear she had rushed here all the way.

Su Han was a little puzzled.

"Senior Apprentice-Sister, what does Master want to see me about?"
