Chapter 527: Perhaps, There's Still a Chance
Just as Li Qian inserted the array banner in his hand into the target location, a sudden explosion erupted, followed by a cloud of dust rising into the sky.
The source of the explosion was none other than the "array eye" where Li Qian was located.
Zhao Zihuan had been paying close attention to this scene due to Li Qian's prior reminder, and his heart skipped a beat when he witnessed the sudden explosion.
Just as he was about to rush over to rescue Li Qian, amidst the swirling dust, Li Qian's voice transmission sounded again, "Chancellor Zhao, take action!"
Hearing this voice, Zhao Zihuan's heart leaped with joy. At this moment, the fact that Li Qian could still transmit his voice meant that he was temporarily safe.
With Li Qian's safety assured, Zhao Zihuan immediately withdrew his attention and waved his hand, summoning an ancient-looking longsword into his grasp.
With a swift flourish, he created a sword flower and, in the blink of an eye, thrust the blade into the back of the nearby Feng Shijun.
However, just as Zhao Zihuan thought he had the chance to eliminate the hidden traitor, Feng Shijun's body suddenly turned transparent.
"Hehehe, you're quite cautious. I didn't expect you to discover my intentions so easily." The mocking voice belonged to Feng Shijun, who had clearly been very cautious, as Zhao Zihuan's attack had not caused her any harm.
She had escaped.
This also proved that she had been on guard all along; otherwise, with Zhao Zihuan's Saint Spirit Rank Beastmaster strength, even if he had attacked with his own body instead of his companion beast, she would not have been able to resist.

He was well aware that the most pressing matter at hand was not capturing Feng Shijun, the traitor, but ensuring Li Qian's safety and completing the Nine-Nine Yuan Dragon Array as soon as possible.
With a flash of his body, he arrived at the edge of the explosion, where the smoke and dust were gradually dissipating.
As the dust settled, a blue light shield suddenly appeared, and Li Qian stood within it, seemingly unharmed.
Indeed, this was the case, as the blue light shield was a new ace card provided by the school, named "Protector Model 2".
It could withstand three attacks of Saint Spirit Rank energy intensity, and it was because of this ace card that Li Qian dared to take the risk and personally test the situation.
Zhao Zihuan quickly moved to Li Qian's side, and Li Qian retracted the "Protector Model 2". Zhao Zihuan immediately asked, "Where is that woman?"
"She escaped!" Zhao Zihuan replied with some embarrassment, "She was too cautious and had already prepared an escape route."
"What about the others? Did you notify them right away?" Li Qian did not scold him but continued, "If this traitor continues to interfere with the array, there's no telling what other changes might occur."
Hearing this, Zhao Zihuan nodded, "I've already informed the others, and they should be on alert. Moreover, I think that after her identity is exposed, Feng Shijun will immediately flee. Her strength is almost at the bottom here, so she shouldn't dare to stay for long."
"Hmm!" Li Qian looked at the array banner in his hand, which was now tattered and torn, and shook his head helplessly, "Now, we need to consider how to set up the array."
"I'll go and inform Tu Qingyuan right away. He should have a spare array banner, but I'm not sure if it'll be in time." Zhao Zihuan's expression also held some helplessness, and with that, he prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Irina, who had been standing by without having a chance to intervene, spoke up, "I'll contact President Tu Qingyuan to get the spare array banner. You stay here."
Hearing this, Zhao Zihuan nodded, instantly understanding Irina's intention.
At this moment, logically, this place should be safe, but no one knew if Feng Shijun would return or if there were other traitors within the array.
So, at this time, having Zhao Zihuan stay here was the safest option for Li Qian.
Irina must have also realized this, which was why she volunteered to go to Tu Qingyuan to retrieve the spare array banner.
Li Qian watched Irina's departing figure with a bitter smile on his lips. He did not stop Irina but helplessly muttered to himself, "It's probably too late."
"What do we do now?" Zhao Zihuan also heard Li Qian's muttering and looked around, feeling lost.
Li Qian spread his hands and shrugged, "Let's see." He didn't waste time and focused his gaze, scanning the surroundings.
Closing his eyes, he began to sense the energy fluctuations in the area, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Squeezing the seedling in his hand, he traced the patterns on its surface, a thought lingering in his mind: Perhaps, there's still a chance, and everything can still be salvaged.
With his eyes closed, Li Qian carefully sensed the energy for about five minutes before suddenly opening them, his gaze intense as he looked towards a specific location.
"Li Qian, you..." Zhao Zihuan began to speak as he watched Li Qian slowly and determinedly walk towards a certain direction.
Li Qian spoke with conviction, "Perhaps, we still have a chance." Li Qian had originally planned to insert the array banner and then bury the seedling near it.
However, with the array banner destroyed and the array eye not fully formed, they had to take a risk.
"You still have a way?" Zhao Zihuan couldn't help but exclaim with joy upon hearing Li Qian's words.
Li Qian turned his head and sighed, "Let's give it a try."
With that, he took each step with determination, "I'm here," he muttered as he reached the location he had sensed earlier. He suddenly lowered his head.
He stretched out his hand and poked the ground, sensing it again, "It should be right here."
Using his Beast Mastery Talent "True Sight Eye", combined with his knowledge of array formations and the principles shared by Tu Qingyuan, Li Qian finally located the array eye.
Although he couldn't be a hundred percent certain, Li Qian felt that the probability was still quite high.
"It's up to you now." Glancing at the seedling in his hand, Li Qian dug a small hole at the array eye location and buried the seedling.
After burying the seedling, Li Qian took a few steps back and summoned the "Tidal Sea Spirit", commanding it to use the "Life Dew" skill.
As the "Life Dew" was cast, a shower of sparkling light points descended, and from the ground, a small sapling quickly sprouted and broke through the soil...
