Chapter 247: Don’t Mess with the Array King
Before Qin Qi could respond, a cold voice rang out, "Zuo Yurong, you think you can just leave after coming here? First, take a taste of your Grandpa Lan's halberd!"
As the words fell, a halberd light several zhang long slashed through the air.
Zuo Yurong grunted, and instead of retreating, he swung his massive peak-shaped weapon behind him.
The danger he sensed wasn’t from Lan Xiaobu’s halberd strike, but from the overwhelming storm of killing blades that surged toward him.
Behind this storm, a faint but unmistakable aura of death locked onto him.
Zuo Yurong didn’t summon his peak weapon.
Instead, he threw a punch.
The force of his punch, wrapped in surging immortal energy, collided with the halberd light, causing it to instantly dissipate.
The violent backlash sent Lan Xiaobu flying, blood spurting from his mouth.
Gu Feihe quickly stepped in to block for Lan Xiaobu, "Sect Master, leave this person to me. You just need to keep him trapped."
Lan Xiaobu nodded, swallowing a pill before tossing out a dozen array flags.
Compared to Lü Xin from the Great Yin Immortal Sect, Zuo Yurong was truly formidable.
If Lan Xiaobu and Kong Zhengxing had trapped Zuo Yurong instead of Lü Xin back in Mu Bei Great Immortal City, Lan Xiaobu doubted they could have killed him.
He had deliberately struck with his halberd to test Zuo Yurong’s strength, but he hadn’t expected Zuo Yurong to injure him with a single casual punch—and this was within his sixth-grade immortal array.
"Ao Mu, Qin Qi, quickly find the exit! I’ll break through..."
Zuo Yurong’s divine sense was completely obscured, and he could only focus on Lan Xiaobu’s position, not daring to move recklessly.
Within this sixth-grade连环困杀绞杀大阵 (chain killing and entrapment array), his immortal energy and divine sense were suppressed.
If he didn’t want to die quickly, he had to find the exit.
Zuo Yurong called out, but there was no response.
His divine sense was blocked, and when he turned his head, he saw a white light envelop Qiao Aomu, who then vanished without a trace.
"Qiao Aomu..."
Zuo Yurong’s anger burned to its peak.
This was his most valued disciple, to whom he had imparted everything.
Any resource Qiao Aomu wanted, he had received without question.
Yet, when it came time to escape, Qiao Aomu hadn’t even spared a thought for his master.
The talisman that allowed escape from such a grand array had to be at least seventh-grade.
A seventh-grade破阵仙符 (array-breaking talisman) could have easily taken him, his master, along.
Yet Qiao Aomu had left without even a word.
Clearly, he was afraid of wasting time, and perhaps also worried that Zuo Yurong would pry into his secrets.
A Golden Immortal—no, back when Zuo Yurong had first taken him in, he was only an Earth Immortal.
An Earth Immortal with a seventh-grade破阵仙符? There had to be a huge secret.
"Not good, someone escaped using a talisman! Elder Gu, focus on Zuo Yurong. Kill him as quickly as possible," Lan Xiaobu said, tossing out several more array flags.
In the next moment, Zuo Yurong appeared before Gu Feihe.
Gu Feihe summoned his双星刃 (Twin Star Blades) and lunged at Zuo Yurong without hesitation.
How many Great Desolate cultivators had died at Zuo Yurong’s hands? Gu Feihe couldn’t let this opportunity slip.
As Gu Feihe charged, Zuo Yurong finally saw him.
In his shock, Zuo Yurong swung his massive peak weapon at Gu Feihe.
Feeling the crushing weight of the peak bearing down on him, Gu Feihe felt a surge of fear.
He had seen this weapon kill a Great Desolate Immortal Alliance’s Immortal King.
Back then, he and Immortal King Tan Xu had joined forces to fight Zuo Yurong, but under the Immortal King’s aura, even he, another Immortal King, had felt suppressed.
His companion, Tan Xu, had burned his essence blood to desperately summon his treasure.
Then he saw Tan Xu’s treasure blasted away, and the peak weapon, barely slowed, continued to crush Tan Xu.
Under that peak, Tan Xu didn’t even have a chance to release his primordial spirit.
Gu Feihe had retreated frantically, but during his retreat, he was ambushed by Wei Xiying, the deputy leader of the Great Profound Immortal Alliance, nearly destroying his sea of consciousness and soul.
Now, facing that peak weapon again, and without Tan Xu’s help, Gu Feihe felt that same fear.
But the fear lasted only a moment before Gu Feihe gritted his teeth and poured even more energy into his Twin Star Blades.
Two beams of starlight erupted from the blades, almost solidifying into tangible forms.
Zuo Yurong snorted coldly.
Already burning with rage, he channeled his immortal energy, preparing to kill Gu Feihe first.
But as Zuo Yurong’s immortal energy surged, he immediately felt something was wrong.
The space around him had become sluggish, and his immortal energy was gathering several times slower than usual.
The space itself felt thick and sticky.
Countless blade lights, invisible to his divine sense, surged from all directions, carrying an aura of death that made Zuo Yurong’s entire body feel extremely uncomfortable.
Boom! A violent collision erupted, and immortal energy rippled out in waves within the entrapment array.
The massive peak weapon was sent flying by the Twin Star Blades, and Gu Feihe felt no discomfort.
Overjoyed, Gu Feihe heard Lan Xiaobu say, "Elder Gu, don’t be afraid of him. Under my array, his strength is less than a tenth of normal, and he can’t move freely. Just go for the kill."
Gu Feihe felt ashamed.
He realized he had been held back by fear.
The current Zuo Yurong posed no threat to him.
What was there to fear?
With his fear gone, Gu Feihe’s Twin Star Blades locked onto Zuo Yurong’s body.
A murderous intent surged as the blades closed in.
Zuo Yurong’s heart sank.
He knew he had to escape, or the next moment would be his last.
In this sixth-grade连环困杀阵 (chain killing and entrapment array), even dealing with an Immortal King was difficult, let alone a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The thought of escape took hold, and Zuo Yurong no longer cared about finding the correct exit.
He tried to grab his peak weapon and use brute force to break free.
But in the next moment, Zuo Yurong realized he had made a foolish mistake.
In this sixth-grade immortal array, even his movements were slowed, let alone using his divine sense to control his treasure.
Before he could grasp his peak weapon, two beams of starlight pierced through his skull.
"Pfft!" Blood mist exploded, and Gu Feihe’s triumphant voice rang out, "Brother Tan Xu, I, Gu Feihe, have avenged you!"
Lan Xiaobu couldn’t help but sigh.
Although his entrapment array had improved, having an Immortal King as an ally versus a Great Luo Golden Immortal made a world of difference.
If Gu Feihe had been replaced by Kong Zhengxing, killing Zuo Yurong wouldn’t have been so easy.
"Sect Master, you’re amazing," Gu Feihe said, his hands trembling with excitement.
He had killed Zuo Yurong.
He had actually killed Zuo Yurong.
A man who had haunted his nightmares was now dead by his hand.
With Zuo Yurong’s death, his inner demons were gone, and his stagnant cultivation would surely advance to the next level.
Lan Xiaobu pointed to a spot not far away and tossed out a few more array flags.
"Elder Gu, there’s another Immortal King over there, trying to find a way out. You’ll have to handle him too."
"Got it, leave it to me," Gu Feihe said, taking a step toward Wei Xiying.
Before he even reached him, the Twin Star Blades were already summoned.
"Not a single mistake, not a single move, not a single detail missed!"
"Sect Master, we should join in too," Wen Lun and the others said, their excitement palpable.
Lan Xiaobu continued to scatter array flags, and one by one, the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Great Profound Immortal Alliance appeared before them.
Within the sixth-grade连环困杀仙阵 (chain killing and entrapment array), these Great Luo Golden Immortals were like headless flies.
As for those below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, they didn’t even qualify to be headless flies.
As soon as Lan Xiaobu revealed them, Wen Lun, You Yihe, and the others pounced.
These Great Luo Golden Immortals were already struggling within the array, and now, facing opponents of similar strength, it was like slaughtering chickens.
Lan Xiaobu collected Zuo Yurong’s ring.
He knew that after this battle, the Great Profound Immortal Alliance would be finished.
Outside the Star Fortress Secret Realm, the battle had begun.
The Tianhong Immortal Alliance and the Guhuang Immortal Alliance had come out to watch.
At first, they thought it would just be a spectacle, watching the Great Profound Immortal Alliance annihilate the Great Desolate Immortal Alliance.
But as they emerged, fear filled their eyes, and their hearts turned cold.
This wasn’t a battle—it was a massacre, a one-sided slaughter.
Before their eyes was a gray, misty expanse, clearly locked down by a top-tier immortal array.
Within that gray mist, bursts of blood erupted like blooming roses, only to wither just as quickly.
"So terrifying," muttered a man of medium height with small eyes, standing at the exit of the Star Fortress Secret Realm.
This man was Huo Lan, the leader of the Guhuang Immortal Alliance.
At mid-stage Immortal King, he was slightly weaker than Zuo Yurong.
"Sect Master, the Great Desolate Immortal Sect’s entrapment array is too terrifying. Can a fifth-grade entrapment array really be this powerful?" asked a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal standing beside Huo Lan.
He was also shocked by the scene before him.
He wondered what would happen if the Guhuang Immortal Alliance were trapped inside.
Huo Lan didn’t answer immediately.
His eyes showed concern, and after a dozen breaths, he slowly said, "This isn’t a fifth-grade array. It’s a sixth-grade连环困杀仙阵 (chain killing and entrapment array). The Five Realms Immortal World has only just merged. How could a sixth-grade grand array master appear so soon? Such talent in array formation..."
"Sect Master, if we and the Tianhong Immortal Alliance attack now from the outside, we should be able to break this chain entrapment array," another Great Luo Golden Immortal suggested.
Huo Lan’s face turned cold as he glared at the speaker.
"And then what?"
The Great Luo Golden Immortal shuddered and didn’t dare to speak further.
Then it would be the Guhuang Immortal Alliance’s turn.
In the immortal world, there was a saying: "Better to die in the hands of Yama than offend an Array King for even half an incense stick’s time."
That is, it’s better to die at the hands of the King of Hell than to offend an Array King even slightly.
A sixth-grade grand array master was just one step away from becoming an Array King.
Not only were the Great Profound and Guhuang alliances competitors—they had recently been at war—but even if they were allies, the Guhuang Immortal Alliance’s intervention would offend the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
Offending the Great Desolate Immortal Sect wasn’t a big deal, but having a sect with someone on the verge of becoming a seventh-grade Array King? That was not something to mess with.
(That’s all for today’s update.
Goodnight, friends!)
