162: Chapter 162 Fate Brings Us Together

Chieftain Song He was unexpectedly decisive; the moment the words left his lips, he directly isolated Cao Huai and the other seven outside.

Cao Huai was stunned for a moment.

His expression turned livid instantly.

"Brother, isn't this a bit inappropriate? If we do this, who will ever come to join our Shuibo Island in the future?"

Lin Zhong walked over to Chieftain Song He's side and said, somewhat displeased.

Cao Huai and the others were well-acquainted with him, and they had only come to join because of his introduction.

Before, everyone had been happy, all the high-ranking members had come out to welcome them, and the atmosphere had been harmonious—Lin Zhong had felt he gained quite a bit of Face.

Yet now, as soon as the situation turned sour, they were being abandoned outright.

How would he, Lin Zhong, be able to survive in the Chaotic Star Sea in the future?

"Brother Lin, it's not that I, your brother, am heartless, but look at what this fellow said?"

Chieftain Song He did his best to console Lin Zhong.

Aside from his Bloodline being compatible, allowing him to control the Zhou Tian Great Array, his own strength was simply nothing to brag about.

Usually, he needed Lin Zhong, the second strongest expert of Shuibo Island, to escort him and guard against harm from treacherous people.

The two relied on each other, and neither wanted to antagonize the other.

"But..."

While the two were whispering, Yuan Chen also sent a voice transmission to Zixia.

What is the situation with this Formation and Shuibo Island?

"Many Cultivators of the Human Race have faced suppression in their homelands and fled to the Chaotic Star Sea to make a living."

"As the number of Human Race members increased, various Human Race factions appeared in the Chaotic Star Sea. Four of them are the most famous, distributed in the four directions of the Chaotic Star Sea. Although they lack a Loose Cultivator to preside over them, they can still rank as first-class powers in the Chaotic Star Sea by relying on ancient Magic Treasure and ancient Formation."

"Shuibo Island is one of them, and it is the most powerful one at that. The Zhou Tian Great Array alone makes them invincible..."

Following Zixia's explanation, Yuan Chen gained some understanding.

When he looked at the Zhou Tian Great Array again, he no longer felt the previous shock.

Don't let the powerful might of the Zhou Tian Great Array fool you.

The conditions to activate it are extremely difficult.

First, it requires the blood of a special Physique to activate.

Within ten thousand years, only three people have met this condition.

Second is the composition of the Zhou Tian Great Array.

It requires one hundred and eight Cultivators to stand in designated positions.

And these one hundred and eight must all be exceptionally gifted, worthy of being called a Prodigy in their own right.

Otherwise, they would turn into a pool of blood upon entering the Formation, unable to withstand the pressure of the Great Array.

Low talent won't do, and if it's activated too many times, their bodies will be worn out; in severe cases, they might even explode and die on the spot.

This is also the reason why Chieftain Song He is so eager to recruit Prodigies.

He needs to replenish fresh blood into it from time to time.

The third is that it requires a large amount of Spirit Stone to sustain its operation.

This, however, is not a problem, as Shuibo Island itself possesses a Spiritual Vein.

To return to the topic.

Although the conditions are harsh, its power is truly formidable.

There is a rumor that.

If all one hundred and eight people within the array possess special talents.

It is possible to leap across two or even three major Realms.

Yuan Chen did not have much interest in this.

No matter how powerful it is, it is essentially a defensive Formation.

Collecting Geniuses is not as fast as improving his own strength.

When the time comes, he will break it with a single punch.

Meanwhile, Yang Zi walked toward the eight people isolated outside the Formation with red eyes.

A good opportunity; naturally, he had to seize it.

He raised his spear and charged!

"Chieftain Song He, that's not what I meant."

Seeing Yang Zi make a move, Cao Huai became a bit anxious.

Having fought before, he had already felt the pressure Yang Zi exerted.

He hurriedly tried to appease Chieftain Song He.

But Chieftain Song He was still arguing with Lin Zhong and paid him no heed.

"Take him down!"

Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to lead his brothers to hold him off.

The three Yuan brothers exchanged glances and attacked simultaneously.

The three formed seals, and a mist of water appeared around Yang Zi.

Mere parlor tricks!

Yang Zi sneered.

With a surge of his Qi and blood, the surrounding water mist instantly evaporated.

Yuan Xiaoer looked at his two younger brothers: "Lend me a hand."

He then spread his hands, and an ice giant appeared before them. Yuan Xiaowu and Yuan Xiaoqi did not hesitate, forming seals with their hands as spiritual power poured continuously into the giant's body.

As they channeled their power, the giant grew larger and larger.

It opened its eyes and attacked toward Yang Zi.

The remaining five were not idle either.

Cao Huai threw out a pagoda, intending to directly suppress Yang Zi.

Yang Zi let out a roar, and fueled by his anger, he directly knocked the pagoda above his head flying with a strike of his spear.

Then, bang, bang, bang—the spear shadows became a dazzling blur.

While defending against the attacks of the others, he freed his left hand and collided with the ice giant with a punch.

Bam!

Under the terrified gazes of everyone.

The giant actually couldn't withstand it and retreated step by step.

Huh?

Noticing the commotion here, Chieftain Song He's eyes took on an unusual gleam.

The look in Chieftain Song He's eyes was filled with greed.

A Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator beating a Mahayana Stage expert until they were scurrying about in a sorry state.

He had previously thought they were seeking help because of Yuan Chen and these eight people.

It turned out they couldn't beat this kid.

A peerless Prodigy!

Fated with my Shuibo!

"Get lost!"

At this moment, Yang Zi's movements did not stop; he had already closed in on Sun Sheng.

This guy knows Formation, solve him first.

Sun Sheng was terrified.

Among the eight, apart from the universally acknowledged trash Bai Ceng, he was the weakest.

Now that he was targeted by Yang Zi, he was so scared he hurriedly backed away.

Lin Zhong watched with eyes wide enough to split.

He let out a shout and rushed over.

Clang!

Both were using spears.

Lin Zhong's cultivation was higher.

He arrived in time to block in front of Sun Sheng.

The spear tips collided, and Yang Zi, outmatched, retreated several steps.

Bang, bang, bang—several mists of blood exploded on his body instantly.

Yuan Chen's eyes lit up.

Another Prodigy.

Zixia also said from the side.

"Shuibo has never lacked Prodigies. Even without the protection of the Great Array, if taken out individually, some could match the experts of my Purple Dragon Clan's Loose Cultivator first three tribulations, or perhaps even stronger."

Yuan Chen nodded.

The potential of the Human Race simply cannot be measured by numbers.

"Lin Zhong, what are you doing?"

Chieftain Song He's eyes flickered, and he directly blocked in front of Yang Zi.

He enthusiastically helped Yang Zi up: "Little brother, are you alright?"

Lin Zhong was somewhat confused: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Chieftain Song He reached out to stop the other from speaking further.

He spoke gently to Yang Zi.

"Are you interested in joining our Shuibo?"

Cao Huai's expression changed.

The situation seemed somewhat unfavorable for them.

He grabbed the woman by the neck with one hand.

He shouted at Yang Zi.

"Yang Zi, we brothers have suffered a loss today, but you wouldn't want Shen Chenggang to perish just like that, would you?"

"Let us leave, and I guarantee I won't harm Shen Chenggang in the slightest."

Yuan Chen was stunned, looking at Zixia in disbelief: "What is that woman's name? Shen Chenggang?"

Zixia was also a bit dumbfounded: "It seems so!"

But what kind of family names their daughter such a lousy name!

"My Gangzi!"

Yang Zi shouted in hatred.

But Cao Huai did not notice.

Under Chieftain Song He's signal, a wandering monk quietly moved behind Cao Huai.

"Die!"

With a great roar.

A string of Buddhist beads appeared above Cao Huai's head, perfectly shielding the woman he was holding within a halo of light.

And an iron shovel also descended from above Cao Huai's head.

"I am Wu Yang of Shuibo!"
