"Take three steps east."

Suddenly, a voice rang in Mo Xiao's mind.

Mo Xiao almost fell from mid-air in shock.

"I'm Qin Yi."

Mo Xiao paused, steadied his mind, and finally understood how the cage that trapped him previously exploded. It turns out Qin Yi was secretly helping him all along.

He instinctively took three steps east.

"Swish!"

A bolt of lightning shot out from the Earth Spirit Stone, tearing through the night sky, slicing through the spot where Mo Xiao had just stood.

"Two meters south."

Mo Xiao then moved two meters south.

"Swish!"

Two bolts of lightning passed right by him.

Mo Xiao wiped cold sweat from his forehead; had it not been for Qin Yi's guidance, he would never have dodged those lightning bolts.

Wen Zhu's eyes sparkled, "This Mo Xiao's array technique is indeed exceptional."

Yu Huan's face was grim; they had been tracking Mo Xiao for so long, yet had no idea he knew array techniques. Even Wen Zhu, an Array Master, praised Mo Xiao's skill, indicating that his investigation into Mo Xiao was far from thorough.

Wen Zhu's eyes lit up, his hands quickly forming seals.

"Mo Xiao, three meters east, then seven meters south."

Mo Xiao acted according to Qin Yi's instructions.

"Swish swish..."

Bolts of violent lightning brushed past Mo Xiao, but he easily avoided them.

"Interesting." Wen Zhu seemed to have found a kindred spirit, his hands flew as he formed seals.

The Earth Spirit Stones surrounding Mo Xiao erupted with shimmering brilliance.

"Nine meters north, six meters south..."

Scores of lightning bolts burst forth.

Yet, Mo Xiao, like taking a leisurely walk, evaded each lightning strike just in time.

Wen Zhu was full of astonishment, unable to resist praising, "It's truly rare to see such mastery in array techniques. Why lower yourself to a place like Netherworld Hall? Mo Xiao, if you're willing, this City Lord is ready to accept you."

Yu Huan's face changed drastically, "City Lord Wen, he's a demon from Netherworld Hall."

Wen Zhu frowned, speaking in a cold voice, "What do you know? There are very few people proficient in array techniques in this world, and Mo Xiao's array skills are exceptional. Such a person, if killed, would be a great waste."

"But he's a fugitive of our Sword Sect."

"What nonsense fugitive, this City Lord appreciates him and has decided to accept him. As for the Sword Sect, this City Lord will find time to explain to your Elders."

Yu Huan's face looked as if he'd lost his parents; he was waiting to capture Mo Xiao and gain merit. If Mo Xiao was saved by Wen Zhu, all his efforts would be for nothing.

However, at that moment, Mo Xiao chuckled coldly, "What's wrong with Netherworld Hall? Unlike the hypocrites of Sword Sect, we do things openly. As for being cruel, Sword Sect has killed far more people than us."

Sword Sect portrays itself as saints, standing on a moral high ground, they truly believe they are saints. You're just a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing."

But Yu Huan laughed, looking at Wen Zhu, "See, City Lord Wen? These stubborn demons of Netherworld Hall, you offer them a chance to live, and they don't even care. Such a person, keeping them around is like keeping a Poison Snake. Who knows when they'll stab you in the back."

Wen Zhu frowned slightly but felt Yu Huan made sense, "A real pity! Such high achievements in array techniques, yet willingly fallen, truly a pity."

Yu Huan hurriedly said, "City Lord Wen, nothing to pity. Your array techniques are used for the benefit of the people, to uphold justice. His skills, however high, are used to harm others."

Wen Zhu nodded slightly.

"Mo Xiao, you're stuck in your ways and stubborn. This City Lord gave you a chance, yet you disdain it, don't blame this City Lord for being rude."

Mo Xiao scoffed disdainfully, mocking, "Hypocrite, stop pretending, show whatever you've got."

"Fine, this City Lord will take you on."

Wen Zhu's face darkened, eyes flickering with killing intent.

Yu Huan's face was full of vicious joy.

Wen Zhu's hands formed seals.

"Crackle..."

Violent lightning bolts shot out from the Earth Spirit Stones, heading towards Mo Xiao.

But Mo Xiao, under Qin Yi's guidance, always managed to dodge perfectly.

"Mo Xiao, four steps north, then retreat seven steps, turn and punch with all your might."

Mo Xiao slightly nodded, swiftly shifting four steps sideways, a violent lightning bolt flew past his back. Then he retreated seven steps, narrowly dodging several bolts, and suddenly turned, his strength swirling, punching with explosive force, the power surging from his fist.

Mo Xiao saw nothing in front of him, it seemed he was punching air. But he chose to trust Qin Yi, because Qin Yi had a grudge with the Sword Sect too, he'd have no reason to harm him. Besides, the young master was by Qin Yi's side, he wouldn't let Qin Yi harm him.

"Bang!"

Though there was nothing visible, the violent punch seemed to shatter something. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After a crisp explosion, the Earth Spirit Stones surrounding Mo Xiao instantly lost their luster, falling to the ground.

The array was broken.

Everyone was stunned.

Wen Zhu's face was filled with disbelief.

Yu Huan's old face twisted, Mo Xiao's array skills were truly remarkable, thanks to Wen Zhu's presence. Otherwise, they might've rashly moved and suffered.

In the room, Jing Wuyan looked at Qin Yi in shock, "Brother Qin, are you abnormal? You even understand array techniques?"

Earlier, Qin Yi disbanded the cage that trapped Mo Xiao with a wave, thinking it was Qin Yi's cultivation overpowering the array with sheer strength. But with the lightning Great Array broken, Jing Wuyan realized Qin Yi definitely understood array techniques.

Even though Qin Yi hadn't spoken throughout, he knew about Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao definitely didn't know array techniques, but he escaped, Qin Yi surely helped secretly.

Yun Mengyao chuckled, "I told you, this guy is a monster, there's nothing he can't do."

"I can't give birth."

"But you can plant children."

Qin Yi: "..."

At the end of the restaurant's corridor, Jing Wuyan's other three subordinates were looking out through a crack in the window.

When they saw Mo Xiao break Wen Zhu's array twice, they were shocked and dumbfounded.

"When did Brother Mo learn array techniques?"

The other two shook their heads, they'd known Mo Xiao for decades, never heard of his knowledge in array techniques.

Regardless, seeing Mo Xiao unharmed, the three were quite happy.

Wen Zhu was stunned for a long time before returning to his senses, looking at Mo Xiao, "How did you find the Array Eye?"

There are two ways to break an array: first, find the Array Eye; second, destroy it forcefully.

Mo Xiao had used the first method.

Mo Xiao sneered, "Do I need to tell you?"

Yu Huan's old face twisted, "City Lord Wen, I think he just lucked out."

Wen Zhu glanced at him, undisguised contempt, sneered, "What do you know? To find the Array Eye, one must deduce. He can deduce the Array Eye's hidden location while dodging, a skill few can match worldwide."
