670: Chapter 670 Perfecting the Grand Array, the Demon Clan Reinforces Their Troops

"Really?"

"Are you sure?"

Liu Xuan's expression turned grave, and he asked in a somewhat serious tone.

If the coincidence truly occurred, and the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect, who had been missing for four thousand years, happened to show up at this moment, things would become dire.

Before going missing, the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect was already a Late-stage Spirit Transformation Great Cultivator. Even if he hadn't made any progress in these four thousand years, he would still be a major threat to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan could use the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique to bind Jiang Xingwan to himself, but the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect was a man, so he wouldn't fall for that.

Leaving aside everything else, he would never agree to the fact that Liu Xuan had become Dao Companions with Jiang Xingwan.

For this person to pop out at this time was a huge obstacle to Liu Xuan's development within the Joyous Union Sect, and it was the kind that simply could not be avoided.

"My husband, do not worry!"

Jiang Xingwan applied layers of Seals to the token in her hand and smiled, comforting him: "The token is real, but the person might not be!"

"If the Sect Master had truly made great progress in strength, why would he hide for four thousand years?"

"Even today, he only sent one Nascent Soul Cultivator. After that person was killed, he still didn't appear. Either he is trapped somewhere and cannot get out, or for some reason, he dares not come out. In the short term, we have no need to fear him."

"That is true, but it is ultimately somewhat passive!" Liu Xuan sighed unhappily.

Jiang Xingwan's words made sense, but everything was based on speculation. He knew nothing about this person behind the scenes, not even if it was truly the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect, which made him feel very insecure.

Fear stems from the unknown; often, enemies hidden in the dark are countless times more dangerous than strong enemies in the open.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xuan immediately summoned Saint Daughter Xu Zhiyin and Yin Lizhi, and then summoned You Ruo and Demon Lord Chixia, instructing them:

"Immediately investigate all information regarding this He Zhou. Put all other matters aside for now; you must find out where he popped up from."

"Yes!"

"As you command!"

...Everyone acknowledged the order and used every means possible at their fastest speed to investigate He Zhou's origins.

Then, Liu Xuan instructed Peach Blossom: "Wife, go back immediately and mobilize all the Formation Masters of the Liu Manor; I have a great use for them."

Peach Blossom shared a spiritual connection with Liu Xuan; she could sense how much importance Liu Xuan placed on this matter and nodded: "I will go handle it immediately!"

After Peach Blossom left, Jiang Xingwan asked: "Is my husband worried that the Sect Master can control the Yin-Yang Great Formation?"

Liu Xuan nodded, "The Talisman He Zhou used at the end could instantly cut off the sealing power of the Yin-Yang Great Formation and could even briefly borrow the power of the array for his own use. If the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect is truly his Revered Master, once he controls the array, your and my situation will be dangerous."

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If he hadn't already made many changes to the Yin-Yang Great Formation, Liu Xuan would be preparing to run away right now.

Although Jiang Xingwan and he were already Dao Companions, Liu Xuan had no restrictions on her and could not trust her as completely as he trusted Peach Blossom.

Once the situation changed and disaster struck, if Jiang Xingwan suddenly betrayed him, the Liu Clan of the Joyous Union Sect would suffer heavy losses.

Emotionally, Liu Xuan did not want to think of Jiang Xingwan in this way, but rationally, he had to consider the worst-case scenario.

Jiang Xingwan seemed to be able to guess Liu Xuan's inner thoughts. She stepped forward a few paces and gently held Liu Xuan's arm, speaking in a casual tone as if chatting normally: "The Joyous Union Sect only has one Sect Master, my husband. No matter who comes, I only recognize you!"

"My husband, perfect the array as soon as possible, and I will focus on my Breakthrough. When the time comes, our husband-and-wife team will be unstoppable, and no one will be able to do anything!"

Feeling the sincerity from Jiang Xingwan, Liu Xuan felt much better and laughed: "Perfecting the array is not a task that can be done in a moment; I will help you with your Breakthrough first!"

...A few months later.

During this period, in order to deal with the possible appearance of the Joyous Union Sect Revered Master, Liu Xuan had made many preparations, even recalling many Liu Family descendants who were out training in the archipelago back to Yin-Yang Great Island, preparing a plan to escape back to the Southern Frontier in the worst-case scenario.

However, none of this happened. The investigation into He Zhou yielded no results; it was as if this person simply did not exist.

There was also no information at all regarding the Joyous Union Sect Revered Master. With He Zhou's Divine Soul completely destroyed, it was as if this matter had never happened.

"Whether you are a real Sect Master or a fake one, if I can beat you, I will fight; if I can't, I will run. I don't care about any of that!"

As the Yin-Yang Great Formation was completely perfected and the control was firmly grasped by Liu Xuan, his confidence returned.

Liu Xuan already had some attainments in the Dao of Yin and Yang. With his improvements, the power of the Yin-Yang Great Formation had slightly increased. With the help of this Peak Medium Grade, Fifth-Tier array, even if he couldn't defeat a Late-stage Spirit Transformation Great Cultivator, buying some time to escape was certainly not a problem.

Moreover, Jiang Xingwan was getting closer and closer to a Breakthrough to Late-stage Spirit Transformation. Once she advanced and the two of them combined their armor, Liu Xuan was even confident that even if a Late-stage Spirit Transformation came, they would not be able to return.

With his worries resolved, Liu Xuan's life slowly returned to normal.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of your 2888th descendant, Seventh-grade Spiritual Root, obtained Top-Grade Spirit Stone * 5]

"I wonder who gave birth to a grandson or granddaughter for me this time? It's probably those brats from the Red Pine Sect again."

The number of children Liu Xuan added each year was basically stable, around thirty, with little fluctuation. The growth of descendants mainly relied on the second and third generations.

The total growth of the Family's descendants was increasing exponentially, and Liu Xuan's personal efforts did not play a major role.

He didn't care that much about the number of his children; he put more of his energy into Jiang Xingwan and Peach Blossom, hoping to give birth to a peerless Genius with record-breaking talent.

"The group with the fastest growth in second and third-generation descendants is that group from the Red Pine Sect led by the nineteenth, Dao Hong. Once a Cultivator has no future, their desire to have children becomes stronger; that really does have some truth to it."

As for the descendants of the Liu Clan, as long as they were born, they could be sent to Biyou Immortal City to be raised by the Liu Family Clan School.

If parents wanted to raise them themselves, they still had to be sent to the Clan School for further studies after turning six, and only those with poor assessment results would be sent back to local areas for development.

Those with ability would stay in the Family's main lineage and receive strong support for their Cultivation, while those without would be sent back to local areas to consolidate their Foundation and, incidentally, contribute to the Family's procreation; each had their own use.

"2888, a very good number. If the speed is fast, I can receive the 3000 descendant grand prize by the end of this year!"

By now, Liu Xuan was actually lying flat; as long as he ensured that nothing major happened, he didn't need to work as hard as he did back then, and his strength would still grow every moment.

Unfortunately! Heaven does not always grant one's wishes. Perhaps because he had been tainted by too much Karma, there was always all sorts of trouble knocking on his door.

Qiankun Hall.

Liu Xuan looked at Yin Lizhi and Xu Zhiyin, who had recently gained his trust, and frowned: "Do you mean that the Yao Race has stockpiled a large army in the Chaotic Sea Region and is likely plotting something malicious?"

Xu Zhiyin nodded, "Ever since we ceded the Chaotic Sea Region, the Yao Race has continuously sent reinforcements. Now, it has reached a terrifying level; it looks like they are very likely to take action against us."
