Chapter 499: Chapter 355: Four Symbols, Obey My Command

The Spirit Gathering Array is almost an essential item for any cultivator.

However, the array masters who set up these arrays typically work for sects and alliances.

If loose cultivators wish to enjoy the benefits of a Spirit Gathering Array, they must rent a cultivation chamber for practice.

Yet, the appearance of Zhong Heng has enabled loose cultivators to set up Spirit Gathering Arrays within their own cave mansions.

Within the Divine Strategy Pavilion, there are two array masters who specialize in Spirit Gathering Arrays under Zhong Heng’s command.

Zhong Heng’s initial aim was to spend a large amount of time improving his understanding and skill in Spirit Gathering Arrays.

After all, Zhong Heng possesses a special talent, requiring significantly less energy to set up arrays compared to ordinary array masters.

This allowed many loose cultivators to set up Tier One and Tier Two Spirit Gathering Arrays within their cave mansions.

As a result, the Divine Strategy Pavilion’s reputation has spread widely among loose cultivators.

Zhong Heng is genuinely respected and called Master Zhong by countless loose cultivators.

Perhaps among these busy and ordinary loose cultivators, Zhong Heng’s distance to them feels even closer...

In the market, Golden Armor Warriors are wreaking havoc with impunity.

Magic sounds and light beams are continuously sweeping through the market.

Buildings are shattering inch by inch.

A Golden Armor General with Foundation Establishment cultivation smashed through a street corner, dangling two horrific corpses from him.

Before the Golden Armor General’s great sword, everything was slashed to pieces.

The crowd fleeing in panic had only early to mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation.

Zhong Heng was familiar with many of these people; they were cultivators who had set up stalls here for years to make a living, always warmly greeting Zhong Heng during his strolls.

Some of them had even grown up under Zhong Heng’s watch.

But now their inner organs flew out, flesh was shredded.

Blood and fragments of flesh splattered on the walls like a grim and bloody painting.

Zhong Heng’s expression turned slightly cold as he removed the Tier Three Spirit Gathering Array hidden within.

He patted his storage bag, and a support array disc appeared in his hand.

The support array disc held pre-prepared incomplete arrays.

For high-tier arrays, Zhong Heng still needed materials.

Zhong Heng wasn’t skilled in any slaughter skills.

The only thing he excelled at was arrays.

However, the next second.

"Master Zhong, you go first!"

Two figures with slightly unstable auras descended from the sky.

Zhong Heng recognized them.

They were a pair of brothers at the early-stage Foundation Establishment, very few kin brothers manage to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage together, these two should be part of the Business Alliance’s secret realm exploration team. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

There are many small secret realms, and the Business Alliance mostly outsources them.

With the number of monsters in the current Human Race territory significantly dwindling, secret realm exploration teams have replaced the original wilderness explorer teams.

"You two..."

Just as Zhong Heng wanted to say something, his shoulder was pressed by Qian Hua.

Qian Hua shook his head at him and said, "Everyone is ready, leave through the secret passage."

"Don’t take risks, you don’t need to fight."

"Wait for reinforcement to arrive; those two won’t escape..."

"Exactly, Master Zhong, do you still not trust my brother and me?"

Brother Huang Yun wore a bold smile.

Brother Huang Zhang was not good at words, just forming a seal with his hands as two fire dragons hovered.

The two were smiling one second, and the next they rushed at the Golden Armor General with perfect synchronization.

Flames surged as both practiced Fire Attribute Techniques.

With excellent coordination, their teamwork was almost flawless, yet the Golden Armor General was Vajra Indestructible.

That’s why very few could stop the Golden Armor General in the Three Clouds Market.

Not to mention the two figures in the sky were still slaughtering Foundation Establishment cultivators at random.

"Go!"

Qian Hua grabbed Zhong Heng’s hand, ready to enter the secret passage in the Divine Strategy Pavilion.

"Boom————"

An explosion sounded behind Zhong Heng.

Half a skull flew over Zhong Heng’s head, crashing onto the Divine Strategy Pavilion’s sign.

It was Huang Zhang’s head.

The red and white flowed down, splashed onto Zhong Heng’s True Essence Shield.

"Hahahahaha!!!!"

"You cultivators are just like this!!"

"Show us the prestige you had when you brought disaster upon our Great Xia!"

"You damn all deserve to die!!"

"Die, die, die!"

Behind Zhong Heng was the old cultivator, whose hair was already messy and sticky, his robe covered in black and red, eyes sunken in complete redness.

The old cultivator and the stunning woman had already fallen into abnormal mental states.

No one knew how the two arrived here.

But at this moment, they are wholly engulfed in slaughter.

Even in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, during an extermination battle, rarely would upper-rank cultivators recklessly massacre lower-rank cultivators.

Except for hatred and practicing evil techniques, upper-rank cultivators typically disdain slaughtering and toying with lower-rank cultivators.

Moreover, living cultivators as captives can create more value.

Yet now the entire Three Clouds Market has descended into blood and fire.

Zhong Heng let out a slight sigh.

Pushed Qian Hua away.

"You go first."

"We cultivators fight against heaven, fight against earth, fight against people, how could we flee upon hearing the wind?"

Zhong Heng turned around.

Locked eyes with the old cultivator.

The atmosphere plummeted to freezing instantly.

And within the center of the market, a loud howl and sword cry arose simultaneously.

A sword light soared to the sky.

"Uncle Master!"

"You can’t go!"

"Senior Brother!! Didn’t Senior Sister tell you not to meddle? Did you forget?"

"We’ve already sent for help; the sect will come to rescue soon!"

"These two villains are highly cultivated; even a Fake Core can’t contend with them!"

Below, faint exclamations were heard.

A young man was seen sword riding up.
