Chapter 386 -384: Into the Tiger’s Den Again
Ten Directions Forbidden Array, Fourth-order Lower Grade???
Ning Daoran’s heart lit up. His prowess in the Array Path had reached the bottleneck of Third-tier top-grade long ago, but he had never had the opportunity to break through to the Fourth-tier. No other reason but that the inheritance of the Fourth-tier Array Path was too rare. Not even the reward list of the Slaying Immortal Tower contained it, let alone the chance of coming across a wild, Fourth-tier Array inheritance out in the world.
This True Monarch Liu Yun did not seem to be easy to talk to, but if relations were well managed, perhaps he could really obtain a Fourth-order Lower Grade Array Dao Inheritance from her. By then, Ning Daoran’s promotion to Fourth-tier Array Master would naturally be a matter of course.
“Young Friend Ning, do you have any objections?”
True Monarch Liu Yun sensed Ning Daoran’s change of expression and cast her gaze over to him.
“No.”
Ning Daoran shook his head: “It’s just that I’ve entered the source of the Black Tide with Senior Qi Xing and Senior Lin to explore before, and it’s completely different from ordinary sources. Guarded by an unknown number of Blood Demons, their combat strength is extremely powerful. I fear that even with several more Nascent Soul Stage practitioners, it may not be possible to easily exterminate them.”
“It doesn’t matter, let’s first try it out.”
True Monarch Dao Xuan said: “Now half of the Kunpeng Immortal City has turned into a land of death, countless cultivators have been killed by the Black Tide. If we old fellows don’t stand up, then nobody will. If we really can’t exterminate this source of the Black Tide, then we will seek other methods.”
“Indeed.”
True Monarch Qi Xing nodded: “Fellow Taoist Dao Xuan speaks reason.”
Ning Daoran no longer opposed: “If needed, this junior will surely offer vigorous assistance!”
“May I and junior sister participate in this mission?” Lin Xuyan was eager to try.
“Yes.”
True Monarch Qi Xing, who also intended to temper these two most outstanding young descendants of the Liangyi Sect, said: “However, with your current level of cultivation, you may only engage the Red Demons. If you encounter Blood Demons, you must flee at once.”
“Understood, we will remember!”
Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang nodded together.
In the afternoon, everyone left Liuhua Island and headed for Kunpeng Immortal City.
Ning Daoran also went along; since Lin Xuyan was going, it was impossible for him not to.
…
Deep into the night, in the south of Kunpeng Immortal City.
“Whoosh~~~”
In the space above the tree branches of the jungle, a stunning Nascent Soul descended — it was True Monarch Liu Yun. She gently patted her Storage Bag, and instantly four exquisitely made Array Flags floated out.
Ning Daoran just remotely swept them with his Divine Sense from afar and his heart couldn’t help but be secretly astounded.
These Array Flags radiated with a Fourth-tier aura. Even though there seemed to be only a small four flags, the majestic Array Power harbored within them far exceeded imagination.
“Go!”
True Monarch Liu Yun struck several spells and with a light tap of her delicate fingers, immediately the four Array Flags flew off towards four directions, vanishing into the depths of the dense forest in a blink.
Tens of breaths later, the Array Flags were in position, and True Monarch Liu Yun pointed to the ground and said solemnly: “Arise!”
A huge humming sound echoed without end, and the entire land trembled. Four deep-red light columns surged skywards from the four directions, front, back, left, and right of everyone present. The light columns were filled with the power of a Fourth-tier Array Path, and then two by two they paired up, forming a barrier that cut off heaven and earth, followed by two more curtains above and below, completing a total isolation!
Fourth-order Lower Grade, Ten Directions Forbidden Array!
A chill surged in Ning Daoran’s heart. Such powerful Array Power, such profound principles of the Array, gave him the feeling of parting the clouds to see the clear sky, like a frog leaping out of the bottom of a well. It turned out his own achievements in the Array Path were just so-so!
At this moment, within the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, everyone felt an extremely terrifying pressure. The whole space seemed to have frozen over, and moving their bodies had become extremely difficult. This Array could prevent the teleportation of Nascent Souls, not to mention fleeing away with tunneling light!
“No need to worry, everyone.”
True Monarch Liu Yun continuously cast spells, imprinting the aura marks of everyone present into the Array, and in an instant, Ning Daoran and the others felt their bodies loosen, as if they had regained their freedom once more.
“The Array is now activated, let us resolve the battle quickly.”
Lin Tiannan waved his robe sleeves and said with a deep voice: “Everyone, let’s strike into the source together and extinguish this source of the Black Tide!”
In the night sky, streaks of tunneling light shot straight towards the direction of the source, like stars in the deep night.
Passing over a stretch of jungle, ahead was total darkness. Countless Red Demons emerged from the Black Tide, shrieking “gaga” with fierce appearances, heading straight towards the peoples’ onslaught!
“Scram!”
In the front, Lin Tiannan and True Monarch Qi Xing cleared the way, their Nascent Soul Power billowing. In an instant, they scattered the group of Red Demons.
“Chik!”
True Monarch Dao Xuan bellowed, sending out a whisk. An immensely thick Spiritual pressure crushed everything in its path, and in a blink of an eye, a group of Red Demons directly exploded to death.
In front of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivation, a small number of Red Demons were indeed not worth mentioning.
“Charge!”

Lin Xuyan turned into a streak of sword light, with his Lifebound Flying Swords shooting out around him. Wherever he passed, Red Demons were struck, and though they weren’t instantly killed, his Late-stage Golden Core cultivation was enough to prevent the group of Red Demons from catching their breath for half a day.
Liu Wushuang wielded a fine sword, with a sword light that was fierce. The Dual Yin Sword Intent was chilling, like a Sword Dao Immortal woman.
The remaining cultivators in the Golden Core Late Stage all rushed into the fray with an unstoppable momentum.
Naturally, the Golden Core Late Stages were able to suppress the Red Demons so dominantly because the Red Demons were within the Ten Directions Forbidden Array and already subjected to the suppressive force of the array; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.
Ning Daoran’s figure plummeted straight down, and several Golden Silk Swords flew out from his body. Under the control of the Dual Yin Sword Intent of the Transformation Realm Level, they stabbed wildly towards the enemy. Unlike the other Golden Core cultivators, after his Flying Swords swept across, those Red Demons were directly annihilated!
“Hm?”
Lin Xuyan frowned slightly, only now realizing that what the Nascent Soul practitioners had said was true – Ning Daoran was indeed unlike any ordinary Golden Core.
“Senior Brother Ning…”
Liu Wushuang’s beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
Even though Ning Daoran was only at the Golden Core Mid Stage, a level lower than herself, when facing the Red Demons, the ease in Ning Daoran’s manner was something she could not compare with.
…
In a blink of an eye, everyone had penetrated deep into the ground, with the entrance to the Black Abyss up ahead.
Lin Tiannan, True Monarch Qi Xing, and True Monarch Dao Xuan, the three Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners, erupted with overwhelming Nascent Soul power, sacrificed their own Lifebound Spiritual Treasures, and charged into the Black Abyss first, immediately facing swarms of Red Demons rushing towards them.
“Kill!”
Lin Xu Yan’s fighting spirit surged, with dense Sword Intent surrounding him. The sword in his hand continuously cleaved out, each strike severely wounding a Red Demon, which couldn’t recover its senses for a while. Liu Wushuang protected him on the side – with meticulous care, she constantly struck with her sword, covering for her senior brother’s vulnerabilities and intercepting the Red Demons that aimed for the openings in Lin Xuyan’s defenses.
“Careful!”
In the sky suddenly, a streak of golden light formed a large “Z” character in the darkness behind Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang, followed by a burst of golden thunder, illuminating the figures of numerous Red Demons. Wherever the thunder passed, all Red Demons were annihilated!
That sword light came from a Golden Silk Sword.
This time, Ning Daoran combined the Five Thunder Divine Spell with the Golden Silk Sword and the Liangyi Sword Technique, insanely burning Chaotic Power to cause a much greater killing effect on the Red Demons, with the least cost.
With just one sword, at least a hundred Red Demons turned to dust!
Meanwhile, Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang felt a chill in their hearts, as the atmosphere here was too mixed and chaotic. They didn’t even notice that so many Red Demons were hiding in the darkness behind them. If these Red Demons all emerged at once, the situation would be unimaginable, and even if the several Nascent Soul Cultivators at the front came back to assist, they might not be in time to save them.
“Thanks, elder brother!”
Lin Xu Yan felt a chill in his heart: “I didn’t expect there to be so many Red Demons.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Ning…” Liu Wushuang, also with lingering fears, expressed her thanks.
“This is the Red Demon nest; we need to be extremely cautious!”
Ning Daoran didn’t say much – raising his hand, several Golden Silk Swords flew out, with thunder from the Five Thunder Divine Spell killing wildly among the Red Demon horde. He had no intention of holding back any longer. If conserving strength resulted in Lin Xuyan or Liu Wushuang encountering an accident, he, as their senior brother, would surely be full of regret.
Nearby, a group of Golden Core Late Stage cultivators from Xia Country were extremely astonished.
None had imagined that the legendary Flowing Flower Island Master – Ning Daoran – would be so powerful. Slaughtering Red Demons seemed like cutting vegetables for him, easily outperforming even those in the Nascent Soul Stage, and no wonder Lin Tiannan looked upon him with such high regard.
Moreover, before setting out, Lin Tiannan had made it clear that this mission was extremely perilous, especially for those at the Golden Core Stage – the probability of perishing was significant. Therefore, those who were either the old ancestors of their families or the headmasters of their sects had even prepared their wills, ready to never return alive.
It was for this reason that when this group of Golden Core cultivators saw the Liangyi Sect actually sending out young elites like Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang, they had an increased respect for the Liangyi Sect.
And Ning Daoran, having slain countless Red Demons, commanded more respect from everyone here and now. Those who could draw swords to slay Red Demons amidst the Black Tide were the leading talents of Xia Country’s Cultivation World!
…
“Careful!”
A loud shout from Lin Tiannan suddenly echoed in front of the abyss: “The Blood Demons are coming!”
In the next instant, presences many times stronger than the Red Demons appeared, as several Blood Demons burst out from the darkness, sticking out their gruesome tongues, with massive tails swaying behind them.
“Kill!”
The three Nascent Soul Great Cultivators sacrificed spiritual treasures and immediately blocked as many as nine Blood Demons.
“Go!”
True Monarch Liu Yun spread his palm, and two Array Flags flew out, instantly forming a large net that spilled towards the front, tying up a Blood Demon that had just emerged. Following a wail, the Blood Demon and the net plummeted into the deep darkness.
“!!!”
Ning Daoran’s eyes brightened, truly worthy of a Fourth-order Array Master, being able to condense a Third-order Lower Grade Trapping Array to only two Array Flags. After such condensation, the Array Power had actually increased, being able to paralyze a Blood Demon’s combat ability in a short time. True Monarch Liu Yun truly was a supreme genius in the Array Dao!
“Be careful, there are many Blood Demons!”
Below them, black mist spread, and several figures burst out – several more Blood Demons were attacking.
“Hum!”
One of the Blood Demons rolled its body, bit one of the necks of an elderly Golden Core Late Stage Practitioner, tearing off a large chunk of flesh. As it swirled through the air, the huge tail, wrapped in Demonic Qi, lashed out, and in an instant, that elder was cut in half at the waist, screaming in agony, unable to stabilize his form and falling straight down.
“Fellow Daoist Xu!”
A Late-stage Golden Core cultivator shouted, but was instantly entangled by another Blood Demon.
From within the mist, several figures flew out, and three Blood Demons each headed towards Ning Daoran, Lin Xuyan, and Liu Wushuang!
