Chapter 33: Pursuers, Array's Power
Chapter 33: Pursuers, Array's Power
Soon, Wu Xingyun finished her busy work.
Her face was visibly etched with pain.
Clearly, the materials required to set up these arrays were extremely expensive for her.
However, considering the safety of her group, she didn't hesitate.
In her opinion, even if she didn't care or was unafraid of death, she couldn't let the Sect Master get involved in an accident as well, especially since Fan Jianqiang was with them! Although she didn't currently know if Fan Jianqiang had any other extraordinary abilities besides alchemy and divination.
But, as long as they were members of the sect, she would do her best to protect them.
After finishing her tasks, Wu Xingyun wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned back to see only Lin Fan standing by her side. She frowned slightly, "Hmm? Fan Jianqiang hasn't returned yet?"
Although she had divine perception, there was a distinction between men and women.
After all, he had just clearly stated that he was going to 'take care of some business', and she couldn't keep her divine perception on him the whole time, so she wasn't aware of Fan Jianqiang's progress at the moment.
After a brief moment of consideration, Lin Fan chose to play a role.
He suddenly felt that a particular line was very fitting for this moment.
I'll act as if I don't see the performance you're putting on~
Hmm, pretending that I don't know anything. Fan Jianqiang's performance is ignored.
"Shouldn't he be back by now?"
This fellow pretended to glance into the depths of the dense forest.
"Then we'll wait."
Wu Xingyun focused her divine perception on the path they came from, expanding it to monitor for any movements.
Fortunately, after a few breaths, Fan Jianqiang emerged from the forest with a rustling sound, his face beaming with a thick smile, and rubbing the back of his head, he said, "Sorry, I drank a bit too much earlier, and the release took longer than expected."
"Second Elder, are you done?"
"Let's go!"
Wu Xingyun didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately led the two of them in low-altitude flight, rushing to their destination at the fastest speed.
However, Fan Jianqiang's expression remained extremely serious.
Not long after taking off, his face suddenly changed, "Ouch, I can't bear the intense pain in my abdomen, I really need to relieve myself, I can't hold it in anymore."
Wu Xingyun frowned slightly, "You've already reached the Essence Condensation Realm, and your control over your body far surpasses that of ordinary people. How could you possibly lose control of your bodily functions?"
"This?"
"I've just entered the Essence Condensation Realm, and I might not be very proficient yet. Moreover, I consumed quite a few spiritual objects last night, so it's probably not an ordinary 'urgent need'. Therefore, I..."
"Ouch, I'm about to explode."
Cloud Wu couldn't help but land again.
As soon as Fan Jianqiang landed, he covered his buttocks and sprinted, his mouth letting out a loud wail, "Ouch, it's coming out, it's coming out, hold it in, hold it in~~~!!!"
Wu Xingyun: "!!!"
"Sect Master."
She lowered her voice, "It's not that I enjoy arranging things for others or speaking ill of them behind their backs, but this child is full of suspicions, could it be that..."
Apparently, she had doubts.
Where in the world is there an Essence Condensation Realm cultivator like this? The folk saying goes, 'A lazy donkey on a millstone shits and pisses a lot!' Who has ever heard of a 'cultivator on a journey shits and pisses a lot'?
Lin Fan didn't find it strange at all.
On the contrary, it would be strange if she didn't doubt him.
After all, although Fan Jianqiang is cautious and steady, the excuses he came up with are truly...
Tsk, let's not mention it.
Therefore, Lin Fan said, "It's not unusual for him to have some minor issues from testing pills, perhaps you're overthinking it, Second Elder."
"I hope I'm overthinking it," Wu Xingyun sighed lightly.
As soon as her words fell...
Boom!!!
A loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the path they had taken.
Following the continuous explosions and rumbling, the cultivators unleashed their abilities, casting spells or slashing out with sword auras!
Although faint, it didn't escape their senses.
"The sound is coming from where we just rested," someone said.
"The array I set up has been triggered!"
Wu Xingyun's face darkened.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.
Before they could speak again, a series of roars echoed.
"Who the hell set up this array?!"
"If I catch you, I'll make sure you can't live or die!"
"Break it for me!!!"
"Break it!!!"
"Break it all!"
Multiple voices, all filled with rage, cursed and roared while trying to break through the array, the booming sounds unceasing.
Soon, the sound of arrays being shattered echoed from a distance.
...
At the same time, within the array set up by Wu Xingyun, a group of five or six people looked utterly miserable, surrounded by multiple arrays, their faces covered in dirt and injuries, and two unlucky souls had already embarked on the path to the afterlife, leaving behind only half their bodies.
"Damn it!!"
"This is a trap!"
"They were prepared, setting up so many arrays..."
"Well done, Moonseizing Sect, daring to do this, seeking death with open eyes!"
"Quickly break the array and chase after them, they won't be able to escape!"
...
Wu Xingyun's face changed, "We must leave immediately, they definitely have more than one Cavern Realm cultivator, and perhaps even a Mystic Pointer cultivator leading them."
"Ahhhh."
"So scary."
Before Lin Fan could speak, Fan Jianqiang rushed out of the dense forest, holding up his pants and wailing, "Second Elder, let's run, they're catching up!"
Wu Xingyun: "..."
At this moment, she couldn't say much more, and immediately led the two of them away.
However, she couldn't help but feel a bit worried along the way, speaking softly, "Sect Master, although I set up multiple arrays, judging by the sounds earlier and the time that has passed, they should have broken through all of them by now and are on their way to catch up with us."
"If they do catch up, I'll stay behind to hold them off. Sect Master, you take Fan Jianqiang and return to the sect as quickly as possible, we must not delay any further!"
Lin Fan shook his head slightly, remaining silent.
He wasn't some saint or goody-two-shoes.
But he didn't consider himself a bad person either.
This adventure was his decision.
Taking Fan Jianqiang along was also his choice.
Even today's events were all because of him; if he hadn't established those sect rules, how could this have happened? Abandoning the Second Elder and turning to flee? It's... something he couldn't bring himself to do.
Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, there was no need to be so pessimistic.
Before this, he didn't have much confidence in confirming that Fan Jianqiang was the protagonist of the 'Survival Stream,' but at this moment, he was ninety percent certain.
And it was all because of Fan Jianqiang's two 'urgent needs.'
...
It was at this moment that the five or six people finally broke through the array, brimming with confidence and chasing at full speed.
"So this is all you've got?"
"The Moonseizing Sect is nothing but a shell of its former self, how much heritage could they have left?!"
"We were caught off guard by their tricks, but we'll show them!"
But...
Before they could even cover two miles, they suddenly felt a sense of unease.
"No, something's wrong."
"Why am I so anxious?!" One of them couldn't help but ask.
Before he could finish...
Boom!!!
An array far more terrifying than before suddenly erupted, engulfing them before they could react...
