The edict was passed down, and the entire Heavenly Vision Sect’s thousands of cultivators were mobilized. The task given to Lin Xuan and Gao Yang was to patrol the southern foot of the mountain range.
After learning this, Lin Xuan was secretly delighted. When he reached the edge of the Heavenly Vision Sect, he could find an opportunity to slip away. With his current magical powers, it was easy to get rid of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage.
He made plans secretly in his heart, but on the surface, his expression remained the same. The other disciples at the Spirit Gathering Stage were quiet, and they didn’t dare to say anything recklessly. They kept silent and flew forward soundlessly.
Gao Yang frowned and gave a dry cough, “Junior Brother Liu, my fellow disciples, you don’t have to be so depressed. This sect may have encountered some trouble, but we still have the help of the Sect Master and Martial Uncles and the powerful Cloud-Splitting Array. With this sect’s thousands of years of inheritance, it has experienced many ups and downs, but it survived all of them. There’s no need to care about this minor trouble. Now is the time for us to unite and overcome the difficulties together. Cheer up, everyone.”
This person was indeed really eloquent. His short speech cheered up the spirits of all the disciples. Lin Xuan also revealed an expression of deep emotions, “Senior Brother, you’re absolutely right!”
Of course, he had other thoughts in his heart. The Cloud-Splitting Light Array?
Humph, these cultivators of the Heavenly Vision Sect still didn’t know that the sect protecting array they regarded as their backbone and reliance was now ineffective. And the remaining magical powers were no longer sufficient to provide shelter for their sect.
Originally, their task was to patrol the southern part of the mountain range according to the Sect Master’s instructions. However, after flying for about fifteen minutes, their front suddenly burst into flames and the noisy voices rang out.
Everyone’s expressions changed, and Gao Yang’s brows wrinkled tightly. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s go and have a look!”
They flew hurriedly. Soon, they arrived at the location where the incident happened.
It was the valley where the temporary market was built in the Heavenly Vision Mountain. However, at this moment, it was full of flames soaring into the sky, and all kinds of lights flashed wildly. Spirit Tools were flying all over the sky, and from time to time, they burst out with mysterious techniques.
There were hundreds of cultivators fighting here, although there were also the deacons responsible for maintaining order, the scene was already out of control.
“Senior Brother Deng, what’s going on?”
Although among the low-rank disciples. Gao Yang was very resourceful, but when he saw this scene in front of him, he was still overwhelmed and drifted towards a tall and thin old man.
This person was named Deng Xiang, and he was one of the leaders in charge of the market.
The two whispered a few words, and Gao Yang then nodded, “Well, just do it, we must find a way to control the situation here. I’ll ask Junior Brother Liu to join us. “
However, when he turned around, he was stunned, “Hey, where did Junior Brother Liu go?”
The disciples behind him were all confused and clueless.
When Gao Yang was looking around in astonishment, Lin Xuan had already arrived a few miles away. At the moment, he was standing at the entrance to the valley and looking at the vast fog in front of him, his face showed a hint of hesitation.
If he didn’t leave now, then when? While Gao Yang was discussing with the old man, Lin Xuan had already sneaked away.
Originally, he planned to leave the mountain after the storm had subsided. But now, it seemed that this plan was difficult to achieve.
He had to change his mind.
Lin Xuan looked at the hustle and bustle of the night, and the fog suddenly became thicker.
Cloud-Splitting Light Array!
Although the power of this array has been greatly reduced after the spring eye was destroyed, as the saying goes, a skinny camel was still bigger than the horse. Even if only one-tenth of its magical powers remained, Lin Xuan didn’t want to take the risk.
After wavering for a moment, Lin Xuan flew up to the sky and released his Spiritual Sense with all his strength. After a while, his face showed a hint of joy.
As expected, due to the loss of Spiritual Qi in different areas. The power of the array was also inconsistent at different locations. The southeast side was the weakest, and Lin Xuan was ready to break through from there.
Half an hour later.
Lin Xuan looked at the fog in front of him. There was only a thin layer, when he was about to plunge in, a voice suddenly rang into his ears, “This Junior Brother, what are you doing here?”
Lin Xuan was stunned and he became vigilant. This person came behind him but he actually didn’t discover him. Although he concentrated all his Spiritual Sense to exploring the Cloud-Splitting Light Array, still…
He was shocked, but on the surface, he was still calm and he slowly turned around.
He saw a middle-aged cultivator standing behind him, he had a long beard and looked like an immortal. Although he was only forty years old, his cultivation base was at the Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection.
It was not the first time that Lin Xuan had met a cultivator at the False Core Stage. However, this person gave him a different feeling, as if he had practiced a special kind of magical power.
He searched through his mind and found his name immediately.
Gu Feng!
He was one of the three disciples that Daoist Master Ku Mu had recruited.
Although he was the youngest disciple, his cultivation base was the strongest.
This person could be said to be the strongest of the second-generation disciples of the Heavenly Vision Sect.
It was necessary to know that there were hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the Heavenly Vision Sect, and there were more than a dozen of them in the False Core Stage. However, none of them were Gu Feng’s opponents.
It was said that he had been cultivating in seclusion to prepare for the condensation of the Golden Core some time ago. If it weren’t for the great changes in the sect and the shortage of hands, he would not have come out.
After his mind flashed through this person’s information, Lin Xuan was depressed, how unfortunate for him to bump into him at this critical moment. But on the surface, Lin Xuan was calm, and his face was full of friendly smiles. “It turned out to be senior brother Gu Feng, I’m Liu Guang, I’m a disciple of Elder Zheng.”
“No need to introduce yourself, I know you. What brings you here?”
“You recognize me?” Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment. He then found the answer from Liu Guang’s memories. This person had a peculiar ability, as long as he saw your face once, he could recognize you even if a few years had passed.
Although he became a little vigilante, he also breathed a sigh of relief. It could be regarded as mixed news. Since this person knew Liu Guang, he would not doubt that he was a spy.
“Oh, I’m here to patrol on the orders of our Sect Master.” Lin Xuan was naturally going to put it on the head of Daoist Master Ku Mu.
“Patrolling? But I think that it seems that you want to enter the Cloud-Splitting Light Array?” Gu Feng’s face showed a trace of doubt.
“That’s because I’m going to perform a secret mission given by Sect Master.” Lin Xuan said with a light expression. Lying was also an art, the more ambiguous the situation was, the more scruples the other party would have.
However, there were exceptions to everything. Gu Feng frowned and reached out his hand, “Show me the Sect Master’s edict.”
Lin Xuan remained silent and thought rapidly. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. His face showed a hint of hesitation, “Senior Brother, this won’t work. This is a secret order issued by the Sect Master, how can you…..”
