The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 881 - 281: What Distress Message? What Nonsense Are You Spouting in the Middle of the Night? (6k)

Listening to the reports from these dozen or so Nascent Soul Realm Late Stage cultivators, Zhou Qing frowned slightly and then shook his head.

"I don't care about this matter. Just report it to the Sect Leader!"

The group exchanged glances, but the Sect Leader had specifically instructed that these matters be reported to the Junior Sect Leader.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Qing waved his hand helplessly, "You've worked hard. Go and rest."

"As you command!" The group immediately left.

Watching their backs, Zhou Qing exhaled deeply.

The power that authority brings is not only the thrill of controlling everything but also an overwhelming responsibility.

A single misstep could lead to disastrous consequences.

In this upcoming sect war, how many people's fates would be rewritten?

...

Thus, three days later, countless flying ships began to hover in the air.

Under the night sky, the Phecda Sect's Sect Protection Array transformed into a firmament glowing with starlight, with threads of the Power of Stars descending, illuminating the entire sect as if it were a celestial palace.

This array at night could communicate with the stars and heavens, with countless runes moving with star trajectories, forming a defensive barrier that could easily dissipate the attack power of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

During the day, although the array could not draw on the Power of Stars, it connected with the earth's Spiritual Qi, forming countless invisible chains of Spiritual Qi.

Once touched, it would trigger a chain reaction, making it difficult for even those proficient in arrays to easily find the core of the array.

At this moment, Cao Zhengyang and others stood on the deck of the flying ship, looking at the sect below shrouded in starlight, their expressions grave, waiting quietly for dawn.

After all, the defensive power during the day would decrease by about twenty percent.

Who knows if the Peak Master of Hundred Battle Peak, leading his men, had already joined with the insiders and how their preparations were going?

If it doesn't work, they'll have to rely on Zhou Qing to crack it.

After all, Zhou Qing is now the fourth third-level Array Master of the Holy Martial Dynasty.

But he didn't want to expose his identity as a third-level Array Master to the world too soon, as such talent might provoke envy.

"Isn't Phecda Sect good at divination? Do they know that today could be the day of their destruction?"

Cao Zhengyang's voice echoed in the night wind, coldly laden with a killing intent.

Everyone remained silent, their eyes fixed on the array, waiting for dawn to break.

In the dead of night, Cao Zhengyang suddenly sensed something and immediately took out his Identity Token.

Upon seeing the message inside, his previously tense face instantly turned cloudy.

The previous order to the Peak Master of Hundred Battle Peak was to lead his men to infiltrate, unite with the insiders within Phecda Sect, and wait for the main forces to arrive to coordinate inside and out.

But who could have predicted that the Phecda Sect's Sect Protection Array had hidden mysteries, with a visible array and an invisible array complementing each other?

If they forcefully broke the visible array, not only would it be futile, but it would also immediately activate the hidden array.

Now, the people of Hundred Battle Peak were trapped in the hidden array, completely alarming the Phecda Sect.

Cao Zhengyang quickly found Zhou Qing and relayed all the information from the jade scroll.

Zhou Qing's expression changed drastically, and he furrowed his brows tightly.

It seems the grass has been startled, and catching Phecda Sect off guard may no longer be possible.

"It's deep in the night, and this Phecda Sect's Sect Protection Array can harness the Power of Stars, with power comparable to a Tri-color Array!" Cao Zhengyang's face was grave, worry filling his eyes.

Especially since the Peak Master of Hundred Battle Peak was trapped in the array, the situation was critical; who knows how long it would take to break through if they attacked from outside.

Zhou Qing remained calm, understanding his Master's concern.

But what of it? While this array is formidable, it is only "comparable" and not truly a Tri-color Array.

Then, he stepped forward, his eyes like blazing torches, staring intently at the starlit array below.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, his blood-red double pupils appeared, like two burning bloody suns, absorbing all the surrounding light.

Under this eerie pupil art, the flow of runes within the array slowed, and the seemingly seamless star trajectories gradually revealed slight fractures.

"This bloodline ability from the Spider Emperor's ancestor, the Void Spider, is truly marvelous!" Zhou Qing couldn't help but praise.

On a previous island, this innate divine technique had helped Shen Hanyi find the "Jade Vine Rune," which deviated from the normal trajectory within the Six-Color Array.

Compared to that, what is there to fear from this array?

But just as he was about to continue searching for weaknesses, the array suddenly trembled violently, and three gigantic faces appeared above the glassy dome.

Those faces belonged to none other than the Phecda Sect's only remaining three Supreme Elders: Master Yuheng, Master Lingxu, and Dubhe.

Their voices boomed like thunder from within the array, "Fellow Daoist Duanmu, Fellow Daoist Yun Jing, your two families joining forces to attack our sect's array in the middle of the night, what could be the meaning of this? Do you intend to provoke a sect war?"

Their voices rolled like waves, causing everyone's eardrums to ache.

Duanmu Shu and the others exchanged glances as the twelve Supreme Elders from their era stepped forward.

Their presence was like a tangible pressure, twisting the space around them and causing the air within a ten-mile radius to crackle.

They looked down at the enormous faces appearing on the array, their eyes flashing like icy blades.

"Provoke a sect war? That's truly laughable; this is something you should be asking yourselves," Duanmu Shu's voice was icy as frost, carrying the weight of a thousand years.

"Setting a trap for Golden Thunder Sect, then driving the ghouls from Corpse Yin Sect to destroy our mines and kill our disciples, and then framing Golden Thunder Sect afterward, did you really think you could deceive the heavens and cross the seas?"

With these words, the faces of Master Yuheng and the other two changed immediately.
