Chapter 479: Chapter 434: Tieyuan (From Now On, Each Chapter Is a Double Release)

Looking at Lu Qian, whose face was a bit pale, breath slightly unstable, but standing confidently, Master Cangfeng nodded and smiled: "Very good. You, with Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, already possess such means. Among the young heroes I have seen, you are already first-class. With your assistance, I am much reassured."

Yan Beixing watched Lu Qian with a complex expression. If during Lu Qian’s first array activation he thought he could counter with a Dao Pattern, then during the second activation, the exquisite move of the Five Elements Reincarnation even trapped Master Cangfeng temporarily, which he could not withstand at all.

Unexpectedly, as a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Golden Core Direct Lineage, he had been surpassed by a small sect cultivator.

Master’s words proved true; we sit on Liekong Mountain every day, proud under Master’s protection and as a Golden Core Major Sect, looking down on the heroes of the world, not realizing that talents like Lu Qian and Xiao Tianci were so close by.

As the Sect Leader’s Disciple, I must truly strive to advance bravely; otherwise, I would tarnish the prestige of the Mingyu Sword Sect and fail to live up to my identity.

The cultivators of the Shuangye Alliance naturally were filled with joy and excitement; the stronger the sect leader and the alliance leader, the greater the confidence and morale of everyone. With such a leader, the future is undoubtedly bright. Lu Qian’s continuous surprises had become usual for them.

"What was that move just now called?" Master Cangfeng asked again.

Lu Qian replied without any embarrassment: "It’s called the Five Elements Immortal Prison, how does Master feel about it?"

Master Cangfeng was startled, then laughed heartily: "Imprisoning an Immortal, imprisoning an Immortal; if it were to trap me, a Golden Core, I’d still feel fortunate."

Lu Qian also laughed: "Master, no need for false modesty; it was you who let me win. If your divine techniques were unleashed, how could I resist for even a moment? With your cultivation, aren’t you just like an Immortal to people like us?"

After some laughter, the group returned to the main hall. Since Lu Qian proved his satisfactory array cultivation, Master Cangfeng decided not to keep secrets anymore.

"This time we ask for your assistance to break an array," said Master Cangfeng, "an ancient array that has already shown flaws."

Break? An ancient array?

Lu Qian’s interest was entirely piqued. What people now refer to as an ancient array is one formed before the invention of the Array Map. Back then, array formation wasn’t as convenient as it is now, relying entirely on the array cultivator to maneuver the Array Base, enabling array transformations.

Without the record of an Array Map, the array could only operate in a fixed manner, and after running for extended periods, it was prone to chaotic errors due to changes in spiritual Qi and other factors.

However, since it’s an ancient array, its operation differs from current arrays, posing a whole new challenge for Lu Qian.

Noting Lu Qian’s slight hesitation, Master Cangfeng added: "The fluctuations of that array have started to become chaotic, and its strength isn’t very high. With your cultivation, you could certainly give it a try. Whether successful or not, there will be rewards."

With the master speaking to this extent, Lu Qian naturally had no reason to refuse: "I am willing to give it my utmost effort. But where are we headed?"

"I’ll tell you after departure," Master Cangfeng said with a smile, "if all goes well, it shouldn’t take long. First, hand over Shuangye Alliance’s affairs, and then we can be on our way."

Lu Qian knew that the master felt there were too many people around, making it necessary to maintain secrecy. But at this critical moment, leaving Lingsha City might be...

"Master, the Xuanguang Sect’s attack is imminent; I find it risky to step away now."

Master Cangfeng nodded: "I know, but the exact timing of the attack is uncertain. Besides, the place I’m taking you isn’t far, and I’ll leave an Illusory Sound Treasure Conch here. This item can communicate over vast distances, and if the Xuanguang Sect makes any move, I’ll definitely bring you back in time."

However, he didn’t know that the Yunshan Sect is very familiar with the Illusory Sound Treasure Conch, and there is another sealed in the treasury. Unfortunately, the corresponding piece was once with Master Moyun, and after his demise, it should have been taken by Master Fengfeng into the Xuanguang Sect.

Master Cangfeng paused momentarily, then continued: "I will also set down a Sword Talisman in Lingsha City as a precaution. This item is difficult to craft, possesses mighty power, and is extremely rare; even if Lie Tiansheng himself comes, it could hold him off temporarily, enough for us to return."

Upon hearing "Sword Talisman," Yan Beixing reflexively trembled slightly, straightening his posture. Lu Qian felt a stir within and agreed.

"Then may I ask Master to rest for a moment while I make the necessary arrangements, and then we can depart."

After inviting Master Cangfeng and Yan Beixing to rest, Lu Qian returned and summoned Wu Yan and Lin Le.

Amidst the solemn gazes of everyone, Lu Qian quickly began to make arrangements.

"The Martial Arts Competition must not be interrupted. Senior Sister, cooperate with the Patriarchs and Sect Leaders to ensure the competition proceeds smoothly. If we can accelerate the process, do so. The magical artifacts, elixirs, and talismans stored in the treasury—do not save them, hand them out as rewards."

Jiang Qingfeng nodded, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "Junior Brother, be cautious in everything and don’t overextend."

"Senior Brother Yang, from now on, Golden Dawn Peak and Liuhua Valley should enter a state of emergency to ensure they can move to Lingsha City at any moment. This matter is entrusted to you."

"Senior Brother Wang, this time you are to oversee Lingsha City, taking full charge of defense. Lin Le’s intelligence team must provide complete intelligence support, focusing all attention on guarding against external threats starting now."

"Little Yan, besides maintaining disciple discipline and stability, you also need to monitor the recovery of the Tao Brothers. Elder Jiang will inform you of the details."
