Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#432 - Chapter 431: Battle of Mount Chushan (Part 3)

Zhang Yuanjing's idea was actually a clumsy one: to find the array nodes of the great array here and destroy a few of them.

If he were just an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, even if he found the array nodes of the great array, it would be difficult to suddenly break them with the array power being completely integrated.

However, with the Yang Refinement Umbrella in hand, he could completely destroy one of the array nodes before the person in control of the array hub could react.

This array was not tightly sealed to the ground, indicating that most of its array node locations were in buildings above the ground.

He investigated several times from the ground, confirming more than twenty suspected locations. These places all had restrictions that blocked divine sense, making it impossible to directly see the situation inside. He could only go to the surface and check them one by one.

At this time, the Core Formation cultivators in the stronghold were all gone, leaving only Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard the great array hub and other places.

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly remembered that Xue Dingluan was similar in stature to him, so he found a set of robes from his storage bracelet and put them on, and then took a bamboo hat to cover his face.

After walking a few steps, he felt that Xue Dingluan seemed to be a little fatter, so he added another layer of armor inside the robe, feeling that it would be difficult to be recognized from the outside. Then, he took Xue Dingluan's waist tag in his hand and directly entered some palaces and pavilions to investigate.

When the guarding disciples heard that it was the famous Elder Xue, they only glanced at the waist tag and directly opened the door, allowing him to inspect.

However, there were also cautious ones who reported the news that Xue Dingluan was still in the mountain to Elder Ling, who was guarding the important place of the great array.

Therefore, not long after, one of the items stored in Zhang Yuanjing's storage bracelet, belonging to Xue Dingluan, made a sound. It was this person's sound transmission spirit jade.

At first, Zhang Yuanjing didn't care. Because since Xue Dingluan blew himself up and died, after he picked up his storage bracelet, the sound transmission spirit jade inside had received more than a dozen sound transmissions, all from Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators asking about his whereabouts. He didn't know who the other party was, so he ignored them all.

After a few breaths, another sound transmission came. Moreover, it came several times in a row.

He took it out and listened, but it was a person calling himself "Zhi Jian" who invited Xue Dingluan to the hub pavilion for a while, saying that there was an important matter to discuss, and specifically explained that because he was ordered to guard the array hub, he could not come to meet him, please forgive him.

It seemed that this person was the Core Formation cultivator from Heavenly Devil Abyss who was sitting in the array hub. Subsequently, there were several more sound transmissions, all saying the same thing.

His heart stirred, thinking whether he could go straight into the array hub by impersonating Xue Dingluan.

But on second thought, the person in control of the array hub had a very important duty and would probably not allow him to enter directly. Once he was carefully checked, he would have nowhere to hide. At that time, he would have no choice but to offer the Yang Refinement Umbrella for a strong attack.

However, the spiritual power accumulated in the Yang Refinement Umbrella was limited, and it had to be reserved for use in reversing the situation in times of crisis. How could it be consumed here?

Moreover, he didn't know whether Heavenly Devil Abyss internally suspected Xue Dingluan's whereabouts. To rashly go to the door like this would be tantamount to throwing himself into the net, so he used his magic power to imitate his voice and sent a sentence, saying that he was investigating the disappearance of Lin Huan and would go later.

After that, he spent more than an hour confirming the specific locations of five array nodes.

The Core Formation cultivator named "Zhi Jian" sent two more sound transmissions, still talking about the invitation. Zhang Yuanjing ignored him.

When he came to a place called the Wind Whisper Pavilion, two Foundation Establishment cultivators came from behind and shouted from afar: "Elder Xue, please stop!"

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly turned around and said in an unkind tone: "What is it?"

The person in front, a middle-aged cultivator, said with a smile: "Elder Xue, this disciple is——"

"What is it?"

The middle-aged cultivator quickly said: "Elder Ling invites you to the hub pavilion."

Zhang Yuanjing snorted coldly and said: "I have important matters that need to be investigated as soon as possible. Otherwise, who can bear Elder Qi's questioning! You go and tell Elder Ling that I will go to him when I am free!"

After saying that, he ignored the two people, showed his waist tag, and stepped into the Wind Whisper Pavilion.

The Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators guarding the pavilion did not dare to stop him, and each lowered their heads and held their breaths, as if they did not exist.

In the Wind Whisper Pavilion, there was also an array node, which, judging from its scale, was several levels stronger than the few he had seen before.

He stared at this array node, which was constructed of tens of thousands of spirit stones and engraved with complex array patterns, and was momentarily indecisive.

All array nodes were connected to the array hub. As long as he destroyed any array node, the person guarding the array would immediately notice and see through his identity. Out of caution, they would likely change the array and not give him a chance to destroy the second array node.

Although this array node was large, given the grandeur of this array, there were at least dozens or hundreds of array nodes. There should be no less than ten similar to this one. Only destroying the array node here would not be enough to plunge the operation of the entire array into trouble.

While hesitating, he received a message from Yu Tianwan, asking him to break the great array in Cluster Mountain from the inside and directly expose the Heavenly Devil Abyss's deployment.

This instruction was beyond Zhang Yuanjing's expectations. In this way, it was equivalent to forcing Heavenly Devil Abyss to use all its backhands and directly decide the victory on that Great Marsh.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but sigh—what a courage!

However, to break the array from the inside, it was only possible to do so by destroying the array hub.

He thought for a while, took out Xue Dingluan's sound transmission spirit jade, and asked the "Elder Ling" whether he had seen any demon insects or demon beasts wreaking havoc, and said that Lin Huan was a big problem and that the tens of thousands of demon birds needed to be suppressed and not driven to fight.

After a quarter of an hour, "Elder Ling" replied that this matter should be reported to Elder Qi as soon as possible, and only Elder Qi could make the decision on whether to send out demon birds.

As soon as Zhang Yuanjing heard this, he immediately judged that this "Elder Ling" was a very cautious person, and it was not wise to attack him.

At the same time, he was also glad that this person was cautious, and although he suspected him, he did not make a hasty judgment and directly use the array power to trap him.

He no longer hesitated, and with a burst of magic power, he suppressed a team of Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the array node to the ground, and then sacrificed the Yang Refinement Umbrella and struck the array node.

"Boom!"

Spirit stones burst, and mud splashed. All the guarding cultivators died with blood flowing from their seven orifices.

Zhang Yuanjing had already put away the Yang Refinement Umbrella and遁入了地中, heading towards the colorful forest in the north of the mountain.

At the same time as the array node exploded, a gray-white cloud covering hundreds of miles appeared in the sky, shaped like an octagonal compass, but missing a corner, flickering under the scorching sun.

As the gray-white cloud flickered, the central area of ​​Cluster Mountain vibrated violently. The basin surrounded by mountains was particularly severe. More than a dozen pavilions collapsed, and dust flew. The cultivators inside fled with their swords, each with a dusty face.

In a stone room on the first floor of the hub pavilion, a handsome and upright young cultivator sat upright, his face ashen.

On the floor a zhang away in front of him, there were fragments of a white jade teacup, fragrant tea leaves, and a wet patch of water.

On the hardwood square table beside him, there were dozens of shining spirit talismans. On the four walls, there were more than a hundred array flags hanging, but one of them had been broken into several pieces.

The movement outside only made him open his eyes and take a look, then closed them again.

A voice shouted outside: "Elder Ling, a corner of the great array is missing and shaking constantly. Should we go and repair it?"

The young cultivator said in a deep voice: "Take people to patrol. If there is any illegality, kill without mercy. Otherwise, there is no need to worry about it!"
