433: Fengchuan leaves the pass
Li Changfeng thought for a moment, but ultimately dared not make a move, merely shaking his head as he said:
"No, the Yuyao Kingdom is too massive. The Envoy alone controls a Fourth-Rank Great Demon, and the Throne has yet to truly show its face.
"If we rashly get involved in this, I fear we might end up drawing strong enemies for Yan Xiao, letting him have smooth sailing all on his own... It would absolutely turn out that way!
"So, let's not get involved. Let's just continue with the original plan to lure out Feng Chuan."
After thinking for a moment, Li Changfeng added:
"With the Yuyao Kingdom in chaos, if Feng Chuan happens to exit his seclusion soon, he will inevitably take action.
"At that time, we will be more certain of luring him to the Sacred Emperor Mountain. This will be helpful to our plan, so don't feel it's a pity."
Xiao Buyu nodded, though a look of regret was clearly written on his face.
"The Formation of the Yuyao Kingdom is very powerful, at least Third-Rank or higher..."
Xiao Buyu paused for a moment: "Forget it, it's not something I can study right now. Let's go."
... ...
While Li Changfeng and Xiao Buyu were heading to the Sacred Emperor Mountain to set up a Formation against Feng Chuan.
Inside the Yuyao Kingdom, within a mountain range.
Ma Dun was completely numb.
He knew Yan Xiao was outrageous, but he hadn't expected him to be this outrageous.
After Yan Xiao entered the Yuyao Kingdom—or to be precise, just as they were brushing against the border of the Yuyao Kingdom.
He suddenly stopped and said there was a Grand Array here.
How naive Ma Dun was at that time.
He actually thought Yan Xiao was just warning him to be careful and vigilant.
As it turned out, Yan Xiao turned around and used exotic fire to break open the Grand Array. Then, somehow, he said he had found a parent-child array, and that the Yuyao Kingdom was made of Grand Arrays nested with smaller ones.
In short, after Yan Xiao broke through the Grand Array acting as the parent array, he broke through the child array in a certain small area, and subsequently found various cultivation supplies stored by the Yuyao Kingdom.
To be honest, Ma Dun was indeed ecstatic at that time.
Because there were simply too many spiritual resources.
Fifth-Rank Spirit Medicine filled the warehouses, and Fourth-Rank spirit ore shimmered with colors that incited greed. Although most were unprocessed raw materials, these things could be considered "Heaven And Earth Treasure" in the outside world.
Ma Dun just felt that following Yan Xiao was truly a tremendous stroke of luck.
Just by trailing behind and sipping the soup, he could make a fortune.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
The first warehouse discovered could still be explained as resources left behind by the Seniors of the Yuyao Kingdom, forgotten by later generations, so it fell into Yan Xiao's hands.
But when Yan Xiao found the second, third, fourth...
Ma Dun was suddenly panicked.
He found a map of the Yuyao Kingdom and marked the locations of these warehouses on it.
He was sweating profusely.
Blue Star players, especially players from the Western Country like him.
More or less understood or even studied military arrangements.
So, Ma Dun only needed to take one look at the map to know that these supply warehouses Yan Xiao dug out were absolutely military-grade.
They were all set up along the border line and formed a horn-like Formation with each other.
Ma Dun reasonably suspected that these were military warehouses set up one after another for the invasion of the Immortal Dynasty.
Even if not, thinking in a more Xuanhuan way, it was highly likely related to the Grand Array protecting the entire Yuyao Kingdom; it was very likely storage used by others to maintain the Grand Array.
In short, their behavior was equivalent to directly robbing the Yuyao Kingdom of its strategic supplies.
And it wasn't just one job and done; they started from the border and worked their way north along the border line, looting everything they encountered along the way.
By the time they were taken by Yan Xiao to a mountain range to rest temporarily, Ma Dun still hadn't recovered his senses.
Seriously, are all children of destiny this bold?
Ma Dun found it incredible. It couldn't just be called unscientific anymore; this was not even Xuanhuan.
Because such a big thing happened, so many warehouses were robbed, so many Fifth-Rank and Fourth-Rank treasures were lost, and even lower-ranked spiritual resources were lost by the ton.
The Yuyao Kingdom actually...
Had no reaction?
Correct, until now, as Ma Dun slowly recovered from his state of numbness, they had not been hunted down by the Yuyao Kingdom.
Ma Dun didn't know how to evaluate this.
It was almost as if they had chosen an extremely suitable time node to rob a bunch of things and leave, and the Yuyao Kingdom happened to be held back by something and had no time to hunt them down.
Ma Dun even had groundless associations: was it going to wait until Yan Xiao made another Breakthrough in cultivation, becoming able to crush the entire Yuyao Kingdom, before the Thrones of the Yuyao Kingdom suddenly remembered to come and attack Yan Xiao?
Thinking about it this way, he actually felt it was very possible.
"Yan Xiao..."
Ma Dun organized his thoughts and asked: "What are you planning to do next? Shall we continue robbing the Yuyao Kingdom? Or go straight to the Sacred Emperor Mountain to look for the traces left by Helian Meng?"
Yan Xiao thought for a moment and said: "I originally intended to continue looking around the Yuyao Kingdom. I always feel that this country is not right, and it hides many secrets.
"Moreover, their behavior of enslaving the Yao Race is against the laws of nature, and I have a sense of mission that I must resolve it..."
"However, the Yuyao Kingdom will definitely react after the Grand Array is broken. If we continue to stay, it will become very dangerous, so we had better leave immediately."
Ma Dun thought to himself, so now you know it's dangerous.
But outwardly, he nodded: "Alright, then let's go to the Sacred Emperor Mountain now."
Soon, the two headed towards the Sacred Emperor Mountain.
... ...
Qingling Sect.
The Sect-protecting grand Formation radiated a bright, pure light. Overall, it looked like a thin, ethereal layer of mist, covering the entire Qingling Sect in the shape of an eggshell, making it look like an immortal mountain.
Every once in a while, players who didn't believe in evil would come to challenge the Formation, only to be immediately suppressed and killed by the attacks from the Formation.
As time passed, Immortal Foundation and Golden Core Players stopped coming here. Only some ordinary Mortal Foundation or even Mortals occasionally came to harass it, trying to find loopholes to get rich overnight.
But these players clearly posed no threat to the Qingling Sect.
This was the meaning of the Formation; even without True Lord Feng Chuan personally taking action, setting up a Formation capable of resisting Golden Core would reduce quite a bit of trouble.
Of course, there was a price to pay.
That was the spiritual resources consumed to maintain the long-term operation of the Formation.
Even with the accumulation of the Qingling Sect, keeping the Sect-protecting grand Formation open for a long time was somewhat unbearable.
Therefore, on this day.
The sky was clear, and the Spiritual Qi gathered.
A good day.
True Lord Feng Chuan emerged from his Immortal Cave after ending his seclusion.
His cultivation was stable, his Divine Soul was robust, and a sweep of his Spiritual Sense covered ten thousand miles.
"Close the Formation."
As soon as Feng Chuan came out, he ordered the Formation to be shut down to save resources.
With him present, there was no need for the protection of the Formation.
Immediately, he landed on the main peak of the Qingling Sect and ordered the Elders to come and report on the recent situation.
