Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1327: Chapter 993: Old Ginger Is Spiciest (Part 2)

The black riders were constantly on high alert, especially since their mission this time was to escort the disciples through their tribulation, making detailed identity verification a top priority to prevent any infiltrators. Even if there wasn’t verification among themselves, it was impossible for someone nearby not to notice if someone’s Merit Token didn’t display any light points.

Qian Xiaoyu immediately picked up on a crucial detail—this must have been the iron-blooded black riders deeply embedded beside the Sixth Elder!

Just like the previous rescue from the Water Prison, their strength was formidable enough to sneak under Du Li’s eyes, heavily guarded as it was, like entering an uninhabited land. They not only smoothly rescued the imprisoned but also retrieved the looted Merit Tokens.

Even if there was an insider, they would need tangible real skills to succeed, otherwise, they couldn’t even put on a complete act.

"No wonder they can hold the position of Elder; despite both being evil cultivators, after my fall, I only used my office for live refining; the Sixth Elder, in his power struggle, treats disciples like grass," Qian Xiaoyu sneered internally, "After all, the Four Guardians’ You Lai wouldn’t dare risk using the Mirror of Evil on the Sixth Elder."

He exchanged a knowing look with Shang Jiuxiao, both watching the duel between the two big shots with cold eyes, calculating how to leave evidence. If the Sixth Elder intended to betray, he would have a strategy of his own!

The atmosphere was tense, and an unpleasant expression etched across the Sixth Elder’s face.

What Qi Baijun said was logical; those three black riders must belong to the sect and possess formidable strength.

In the Wilderness, demon cultivators of such caliber had their own affairs and wouldn’t lower themselves to destroy a mere evil cult Holy Land, nor would they fall into becoming evil cultivators.

Thinking it over, he thought of the Sect Leader—the only one capable of mobilizing such powerful figures, considering how they cultivated many high-realm talents through the Tribulation Crossing Array.

The critical question was, why send someone to destroy the Leisure Sect’s foundation in the Wilderness World?

The essence remit from the Wilderness World every month was not trivial, and sabotaging in this way only diminished his face; how did it benefit the Sect Leader?

Hmm? Diminished face?!

The Sixth Elder suddenly became alert; could the Sect Leader be attempting to weaken the elders’ real power and take sole control?

With doubts in his heart, his expression kept changing, and after a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "With the Holy Land gone, we won’t find any more clues here, let’s go check Immortal Peak."

The entire group boarded the Immortal Ship, Jiang Yuan’s clone set the route, and soon they silently descended amid the mountains and forests.

Array Master Wei Lin took a quick look around, turning pale as he whispered, "There is no sealing array aura here either."

"Luo Du!"

The Sixth Elder was furious, not caring that the Lord’s Mansion of Wuhai Zizhou was just not far away; he had to see what had happened here, come what may.

Retracing time, a dust-covered black rider suddenly appeared in the scene, stepping into the void.

As he stepped forward, a huge sealing array emerged in the void. Without even making a move, the array lit up, rotating incessantly, and in mere moments, the array disappeared, opening a bright portal.

Once the man slipped through, the light door closed.

Less than a cup of tea’s time passed before the black rider emerged again from the inconspicuous light door, stepping into the void and leaving.

"Even the Holy Land of Immortal Peak has been taken, we’d better return to the Immortal Ship before making further plans," Jiang Yuan’s clone feared that any disturbance here might alert Jiang Bai; if she came to check, a fierce battle with the elite squad of evil cultivators would ensue.

At that point, the carefully designed play by the true body might not unfold as planned.

Fortunately, all the evil cultivators understood the priorities and, without him urging further, onboarded the Immortal Ship, which vanished silently into the horizon.

"The Deep Water Pool."

The Sixth Elder issued a concise order; the location of Immortal Peak wasn’t secretive at all, known even by many ordinary disciples who had been there;

The newly opened Divine Wood Forest Holy Land was also not particularly secretive, as after opening and going into use, the black riders dispatched there clearly knew its exact location, potentially risking exposure.

But the last spot, never used before and situated deep within the most remote, hard-to-find area of Ji Yu Abyss, that backup Secret Realm deepwater pool—was a secret that even the useless Great Protector didn’t know.

In the Wilderness, the only ones aware of this place were himself and the Second, Third, Fourth Guardians, alongside the Ugly Slave who maintained all the arrays within the sect.

"In the retraced scene, able to effortlessly break arrays, without even moving a hand..." Array Master Wei Lin whispered as everyone’s eyes focused on him, "I’ve never witnessed such a powerful method in my whole life.

No hands needed; the array moving according to one’s intent suggests the opponent has cultivated to the Ninth Level Array Master, unheard of on the Wilderness."

Jiang Yuan’s clone seized the opportunity to confuse the facts, "We observed clearly, only one person arrived. After cracking the sealing array and entering, they took away the Holy Land at Immortal Peak. Doesn’t it indicate that only a highly skilled space power person could achieve such?"

The iron-blooded black rider, also adept in space techniques, shook his head, "Mastery in arrays can’t mean they also are equally adept in space techniques. However, after entering, they could, through the cracking of multiple restrictions, allow for another to tear open space and take away the site.

Therefore, the incoming and outgoing individuals are not the same. The former is the Array Master; the latter is the space power master.

Perhaps, as the small space carries things away, the Array Master remained in Immortal Peak breaking down numerous Tribulation Crossing Arrays. After all, dismantling arrays could yield many recyclable materials, right?"

He turned his face to Wei Lin, who nodded in agreement, "Indeed, especially since the Sect Leader’s research into arrays that assist us in crossing tribulations undoubtedly involved many precious materials.
