Chapter 1400 - 1396

Every Passage Order was personally crafted by the Junior Master, so confirming its status is no difficult task for him.

"Huh, the Life-saving Talisman doesn’t show any sign of activation?"

The Junior Master had already prepared for the worst. If Gu Yuan had been swept into turbulence, the sudden lethal impact would have passively triggered the Life-saving Talisman.

But now, the Life-saving Talisman remains intact, and the signal from the Passage Order is so weak it’s almost undetectable.

This situation was completely unexpected for the Junior Master.

"Interesting. It seems there are deeper secrets hidden in the Five Emperors Mountain, which I must go see for myself."

After giving some necessary instructions to the Little Paperman watching over Qingfeng Temple, the Junior Master left the back mountain in the night.

Ten minutes later, the Junior Master appeared at the foot of Five Emperors Mountain, arriving even before Xin Fu and others, who had set off hours earlier.

He didn’t alert anyone and directly entered the forbidden area.

The array within the forbidden zone detected an outsider without a Passage Order and immediately activated a repelling mode.

But the next second, when the Junior Master released his own aura, the array instantly extinguished.

The night forest not only brought cold but exuded a ghostly aura, and the sealing array kept the entire area in a cyclical onslaught of occasionally erupting Gang Wind.

Coupled with the dense branches that completely blocked the moonlight, it made the entire region even darker and more gloomy.

If someone with a slightly weaker willpower entered here, they wouldn’t just be frightened; they’d fall ill for several days upon returning.

The Junior Master carefully sensed the faint signal left by the Passage Order.

Just then, a wind blew from an unknown direction, causing the leaves on the trees to sway and fall.

Seeing those leaves about to land on him, he raised his hand with a wave.

Those seemingly ordinary leaves, which had already been tainted with Gang Wind, instantly shattered into powder.

If these leaves made contact with a body of flesh, it wouldn’t be as simple as gently landing on a shoulder.

The leaves carried the aura of Gang Wind; cutting through flesh would be as easy as slicing tofu with a knife.

"It seems something has indeed gone amiss at the fissure, causing a resonance in the sealing array!"

This sealing array was an original creation of the Junior Master, and only Yun Ran in Qingfeng Temple had learned it.

Originally, the fear was that the fissure wasn’t stable enough, and if something went wrong, Yun Ran wouldn’t be able to return.

That’s why the Junior Master utilized his domain to set up this array here.

Now that there’s a slight breach in the array, there’s only one possibility.

Yun Ran must have used the same type of array synchronously in the world on the other side of the fissure.

This is why the two arrays, in different spaces but with a thread of connection, experienced a resonance.

"Damn troublesome girl, what kind of trouble did she encounter to actually use her trump card!"

Such a trump card wouldn’t be used lightly unless faced with extremely troublesome circumstances.

The Junior Master cursed under his breath, but his pace quickened.

Gu Yuan’s disappearance here is most likely due to the resonant forces of the two arrays confusing the Passage Order he carried as a source of the same power.
