Chapter 540: Chapter 149: Zhou Xun’s Discovery!

The two chatted increasingly eagerly,

unknowingly, it was already late at night!

"Unexpectedly, Daoist Wang also has such an achievement in the field of arrays, I truly admire it!"

Wenn Yue spoke with an expression of admiration.

"Miss Wenn is jesting, tomorrow you and I should go investigate together to see if there are any other omissions!"

Zhou Xun replied with a faint smile.

He didn’t expect to meet an array master here, and this woman’s array methodology was clearly different from his own,

giving Zhou Xun great inspiration!

"That sounds good!" Wenn Yue said with a small bow.

Their engrossing conversation unknowingly aroused the jealousy of the sinister young man Yuan Jinkai.

He had always admired his sworn second sister,

yet this second sister seemed to treat him only as a sibling, leaving him endlessly frustrated,

but fortunately, the four of them were together day and night, giving him a constant sense of opportunity.

With time, opportunities will surely come!

The young man consoled himself.

However, he did not expect Zhou Xun’s arrival today to make him feel a sense of crisis.

Not to mention Zhou Xun’s handsome appearance and transcendent demeanor, which he could not match,

let alone Zhou Xun also being an array master,

the scene where Wenn Yue and Zhou Xun were happily conversing filled him with immense jealousy.

That kind of Wenn Yue was something he had never seen.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t sit still.

Immediately, he found his elder brother,

"Brother, having Wang Lin stay with us all the time doesn’t seem very appropriate!"

"If he harbors ill intent, we would be totally defenseless!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Looking at his younger brother’s face full of jealousy, Yuan Jishan couldn’t help but sigh,

he was well aware of his brother’s intentions,

but alas, the falling flower has intention but the flowing water is heartless!

"Jinkai, Daoist Wang saved Daniu and is our benefactor, how can we treat him like this, abandon these thoughts!"

Yuan Jishan advised.

"He’s merely at the early-stage Core Formation, what qualifications..."

"Enough, stop talking about it, if your second sister hears of this, she probably won’t engage with you in the future!"

The young man saw that his brother did not support him, so he had to give up!

But he was growing angrier at heart, and decided to find a way himself!

...

The next morning, Zhou Xun and Wenn Yue arrived at the island.

As Zhou Xun and Wenn Yue landed, many cultivators had already gathered here.

There were martial artist attires, Confucian scholar attires, Daoist attires, all kinds were present.

The cultivation of these people was at least at the Core Formation stage,

even among the late-stage Core Formation cultivators, Zhou Xun saw nine at a glance.

These people either gathered in small groups, clearly banding together,

or occupied a corner alone, coming individually!

"It seems the allure of the Nascent Soul spiritual object is quite significant!"

Zhou Xun commented.

"Brother Wang, you’re jesting, as Core Formation cultivators, who wouldn’t want to form a nascent soul, these spiritual objects that aid breakthroughs naturally have great allure,"

"Even taking a step back, if one cannot reach peak Core Formation, even if these spiritual objects can’t be used, selling them would yield substantial returns!"

"You’re right!" Zhou Xun nodded.

Immediately, he looked towards the array,

The entire island was enveloped by a faint light barrier, runes flickered on its surface.

Occasionally, a few cultivators would cast spells to attack it,

only to see the runes circulate, easily swallowing the attacks.

"This is the array you mentioned, let me try it!"

Having said that, Zhou Xun performed a hand seal, reaching out towards the array with a gentle touch,

"Boom!"

A flash of light, and a thumb-thick lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the light barrier,

then, an astonishing scene occurred,

as the lightning was about to hit the barrier, runes flashed on its surface, directly blocking the lightning,

and then swallowing it!

Silently, as if Zhou Xun’s attack had never happened.

"Truly miraculous, it can even absorb our attacks!"

"It seems that unless an attack is executed beyond the limit of this array, breaking it will be difficult!"

Zhou Xun commented.

"Exactly, otherwise, with so many Core Formation cultivators, we would have broken it by now!"

Wenn Yue nodded.

"Let’s go, check below!"

Immediately Zhou Xun led Wenn Yue to circle the entire island.

Suddenly——

Zhou Xun’s eyes narrowed, looking inside the array at a certain spot!

"What’s wrong?"

"I saw just now an exposed array base inside, it seems newly refined!"

Zhou Xun said gravely.

"What!"

Wenn Yue was shocked, immediately looking in the direction Zhou Xun pointed, but saw nothing.

With Zhou Xun’s late-stage Core Formation cultivation and the support of the Celestial Profound Spirit Armor, it was naturally beyond Wenn Yue’s capability to compare.

"That object flashed briefly, you naturally cannot see it now!" Zhou Xun glanced again.

The array base inside was actually adaptive.

This makes trying to break it even more troublesome.

Wenn Yue nodded,

"If newly refined, doesn’t that mean this isn’t a relic, what could this place be?"

"Considering the current human-demon standoff and our location, the likelihood can only be guessed!"

Zhou Xun said gravely!

"You mean... the Sea Race!"

Wenn Yue sounded, stunned with fear!

If this is a trap laid by the Sea Race, then they are like fish in a barrel!

"Then we must quickly inform them!" Wenn Yue stated.

"Do you think they will believe it? Furthermore, wouldn’t mass withdrawal of cultivators cause them to act preemptively!"

Zhou Xun scoffed.

"Then we should hurry back, tell brother to retreat quickly!"

Thus Wenn Yue was about to lead Zhou Xun, turning to fly toward their camp.

At this moment, hundreds of meters away, a young man emerged, watching their departing figures with an extremely ugly expression!

Zhou Xun slightly tilted his head, then withdrew,

the moment the youth started following them, he noticed, but didn’t mind.

As the saying goes, insignificant clowns can be easily dealt with!

...

Upon returning to the camp,

Wenn Yue immediately found Yuan Jishan.

"Brother, we should leave, Brother Wang just discovered that the array base inside the array is newly refined,"

"This relic might actually be a trap!"

At this moment, Yuan Jinkai returned too, upon hearing "Brother Wang", he flew into a rage.

In just two days, "Daoist Wang" turned into "Brother Wang!"

Unable to help but speak:

"Did second sister see the newly refined array base herself?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jishan also focused his attention!

"No, but Brother Wang saw it himself, it must be true, we better leave quickly, or it’ll be too late!"

Wenn Yue argued!

"Indeed, since Brother Wang said it, it surely is true, let’s go!"

Li Daniu, hearing it was Zhou Xun’s discovery, chimed in support!
