Chapter 35: Fan Jianqiang's Exposure
Chapter 35: Fan Jianqiang's Exposure
"I want to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."
Lin Fan was rather curious.
Just as the Second Elder finished setting up another array and Fan Jianqiang's Shit Escape Plum maneuver was about to unfold for the second time, a figure descended gracefully into the range of the broken array that Wu Xingyun had set up.
"Are you prepared?"
"These arrays are nothing special. Even if they were set up by the elders of a small sect, they would barely be able to kill a couple of newcomers to the Cavern Realm."
He wasn't very interested and strolled forward, his speed so fast it was as if he had shrunk the ground beneath him.
In just a few steps, he was a couple of li away, gazing at the forest in front of him that had been completely destroyed, now a giant pit. He frowned slightly, smelling the faint bloody aura permeating the air.
"There's another array?!"
He didn't rashly approach but carefully observed the surroundings of the giant pit.
He quickly discovered something amiss.
"The previous array was ordinary, and this old man could break it with a wave of his hand."
"But this array here..."
"Hiss!"
"The Seven Deadly Kill Array, the Endless Sword Array, the Blood Sea Divine Annihilation Array, the Fifth Binding Array... These are all infamous grand arrays. Even if they are simplified and incomplete versions, they are still extraordinary!
Moreover, multiple arrays are intricately intertwined and interwoven, with each array containing elements of the others.
The most astonishing thing is that they are arranged so secretly, blending seamlessly with the surroundings.
Even if this old man had come personally, he might not have discovered it in advance. And if he had triggered it, even he might not have been able to escape unscathed."
"Moonseizing Sect's Second Elder, Wu Xingyun... When did he reach such a high level of array mastery?!"
Gulu!
Liu Xun swallowed his saliva.
Even though he was considered a top expert in the Liu family, with a cultivation level at the Finger Profound Fifth Level, he still felt a sense of alarm.
The Liu family had many spies, and their target from the start was Fan Jianqiang. Therefore, they had been keeping a close eye on him.
Wu Xingyun wasn't the one they were monitoring, but when he went to talk to an ordinary fortune-telling elder, it caught their attention. Later, when Fan Jianqiang restored his original appearance, which was also witnessed by someone. Thus, the Liu family naturally received the news and rushed over at the first opportunity.
However, they were still a step too late.
From a distance, Liu Xun saw the massive shockwave shooting straight into the clouds, and fearing that Fan Jianqiang might have been killed, he hurried over.
But what he saw was...
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought!
This was the temporary route of the Moonseizing Sect, completely ruling out the possibility of others setting up arrays to pursue and intercept them. Moreover, the two arrays were so close to each other that it was almost impossible for them to have been set up by unrelated people.
In other words, this array must have been set up by the Moonseizing Sect.
Even if it wasn't Wu Xingyun, it was someone he was in contact with.
But when did the Moonseizing Sect acquire such means?
Liu Xun looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "There should be other people involved. We can't be careless, or else if we accidentally enter such an array again, even this old man..."
Hmm?
He stopped in his tracks and looked to his right rear.
A group of cultivators rushed over.
Seeing Liu Xun, they were only slightly alert and not afraid.
"The source of that intense fluctuation was right here!"
"It wasn't a fight between two people; it seems more like an ambush."
"One side is already dead."
"The other side... ran this way."
"Although we don't know the reason for the conflict, it seems that one side has something the other side covets. If we catch up and kill them, that item will belong to us."
"Even if there's nothing, hunting them down should still yield a significant reward!"
"Chase them!"
They came quickly and left just as fast.
Liu Xun merely watched quietly, not saying a word.
Until they were far away, he chuckled, "Hunters."
"What a pity, they have poor eyesight."
"They can't even understand these array formations, and they still want to take advantage?"
"It's no different than asking for death."
After speaking, he once again took a deep look at the large pit before following behind.
Indeed, not long after, terrifying roars filled the air, accompanied by waves of miserable screams.
Liu Xun laughed.
"Idiots, they are indeed as foolish as I thought."
He slowly approached, but the scene before him caused him to be slightly startled.
"Hmm?!"
"Something's wrong, it's not an array formation?!"
He was surprised.
"It's talismans!"
"Although these hunters are not strong enough, there are still many Cavern Realm cultivators among them. Yet, they were easily taken down by these talismans. The value of these talismans must be..."
His lips twitched, and he couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the scattered limbs and severed arms on the ground, he was even more surprised.
However, he then noticed the shattered storage bags and scattered items belonging to the hunters.
A smile reappeared on his face.
"Interesting."
"Today's luck is not bad. Without lifting a finger, I've gained all the possessions of a group of hunters."
He waved his wide sleeves, collecting all the items into his storage bag, and resumed his pursuit.
...
"Hmm?"
"Another explosion?!"
Just as Lin Fan and the others set off, they heard more explosions and distant screams coming from behind.
"Who's fighting?!" Wu Xingyun frowned.
Fan Jianqiang began to tease, "Second Elder, didn't you set up an array in that area?"
"No," Wu Xingyun shook her head lightly. "That area..."
She suddenly turned to Fan Jianqiang, "It seems more like a place you visited."
"Huh?"
Fan Jianqiang was taken aback, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Second Elder, what do you mean by that?"
"Could it be that my excrement is so terrifying?"
"This, this, this, what does it have to do with me?"
But Wu Xingyun didn't speak anymore; she just stared at him, her gaze profound.
"I see!"
At this moment, her mind was filled with countless thoughts, secretly cursing herself for being foolish.
"He fits the eighth rule of the sect's regulations. How could I have judged him with common sense?!"
"He appears harmless, but in reality, he is probably not as simple as he seems."
"Otherwise, why would the Sect Master value him so highly?"
"However, I don't know what his exceptional qualities are..."
Although she was still unclear about what made Fan Jianqiang so extraordinary, at this moment, Wu Xingyun had already confirmed that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person!
It was just like how she couldn't understand the sect master's rules!
She kept staring at Fan Jianqiang, and when she saw that he was feeling uneasy, she slowly withdrew her gaze.
"This has nothing to do with me. I'm just a small cultivator who has just entered the Essence Condensation Realm. What abilities or virtues do I have?"
Fan Jianqiang spread his hands, "Perhaps some senior passed by and left some means?"
Wu Xingyun chuckled, "That's also a possibility."
Fan Jianqiang's reaction made him feel uncertain and suspicious.
He couldn't help but wonder, how did I get exposed? This shouldn't be!
I've always been cautious in my actions, and how could she start suspecting me in such a short time? This reaction is too quick!
I clearly didn't show any signs of my true identity!
Could it be that this Second Elder is too smart?
He glanced at the calm Lin Fan and thought to himself, "It's better to be the Sect Master, who never doubted me."
