Chapter 209: The Missing Array Masters

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hiss!

Everyone’s eyes changed slightly and became cautious.

They were not fools. They were all elites among the elites from the Jingdu Martial Arts Academy. Although they were quite capable, they would not look down on that place just because it was a small place.

Moreover, the one who said this was Chen Qingxuan, the head of the Array Formation Department of the Jingdu Martial Arts Academy.

His understanding of arrays was not something that ordinary people could compare to.

If he said there was a problem, then there must be a problem.

“Professor Chen, what do you think we should do now?”

Chen Qingxuan stroked his chin and said,

“If it’s under normal circumstances, I can try to see what exactly is in front of us.

“But right now, we have urgent matters to attend to, so we should prioritize safety first. Let’s take a detour.”

“Alright! We’ll listen to you.”

Everyone immediately brought Chen Qingxuan and left in another direction.

About 20 minutes later.

“Professor Chen, I think there’s a problem. We’re only a hundred or so miles away from Jianghai city.

“And the lowest cultivation among us is a Xiantian sixth-grade great grandmaster. Why has it been so long? We still seem to be wandering around this mountain nest. We haven’t even seen Jianghai city yet.”

Chen Qingxuan’s brows were almost twisted into a knot.

He was also very speechless. Logically speaking, they should have avoided the danger just now. However, in reality, they did not feel any sense of danger now. Instead, they began to wander around that mountain nest, it was as if they had entered the legendary ghost wall.

“Wait for me to take a look.”

He took out some special powder from his pocket and sprinkled it on the ground. In the next second, the powder began to creak and start to burn.

Seeing that, Chen Qingxuan’s expression gradually became solemn.

“Professor Chen, what does this mean?”

Chen Qingxuan took a deep breath and adjusted his glasses.

“If my guess is correct, we should be trapped in the array.”

The air suddenly fell into silence.

“Professor Chen, stop fooling around.”

What a joke. Being trapped in the array while following one of the top array professors in the nine provinces, what a big joke!

“I’m really not joking with you. I’m telling the truth.”

The smiles on everyone’s faces gradually disappeared, and there was even a bit of panic.

An array that could even confuse Professor Chen, that array was probably not simple.

Professor Chen pushed up his glasses and said again,

“Actually, I’m also quite surprised. I clearly felt the danger just now, but in the end, I still entered the array.

“Now, I’m guessing that this array has a large area, and it has illusory properties.

“The stronger the array, the less likely it is to be detected.

“When I sensed it, I should have already been at the edge of the array. At that time, we should have been heading back instead of going forward.

“In the end, after a slight movement, we entered the array.

“After entering the array, due to its illusory properties, I didn’t continue to sense it.

“Just now, I also used the star pearl powder of the Ghost Bat, which can detect the array, to detect the existence of the array.”

“So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect that there would be such a powerful array master in Jianghai city.”

One of them could not help but sigh, while the other’s eyes lit up.

“Sigh! This array master’s skill is so strong. If we get him into our team, won’t we be able to complete the mission better?”

The leading divine grandmaster poured cold water on them.

“You still have the mood to think about that? We’re trapped in the array now. If we can’t escape, we’ll be lucky to be alive, not to mention finding people.”

Chen Qingxuan smiled:

“There’s no need to be so nervous. Although this array is very high-level, with me here, I can ensure everyone’s safety.”

The others smiled.

“That’s right. With Professor Chen Here, What’s there to be afraid of? Professor Chen, please quickly crack this array so that we can carry out our mission.”

Chen Qingxuan nodded and began to crack the array.

Another 20 minutes passed.

Chen Qingxuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and his expression became even more solemn.

“I didn’t expect that there would be such a wondrous person in this Jianghai city. Today, I’ve really broadened my horizons!”

Everyone could not help but ask,

“Professor Chen, what’s going on? The array hasn’t been cracked?”

Chen Qingxuan nodded.

“This array is very strong. If I’m not wrong, it should have reached the level of the imperial array.”

“What? An imperial array? Are you kidding us? This is just a small Jianghai city, and there are array masters who can create the imperial array?”

Chen Qingxuan explained,

“There’s nothing strange about it. There’s always someone better than you. There are already many mysterious and elusive martial arts experts in the nine provinces. Isn’t the Saber-sword Immortal that’s been spreading on the Internet recently a martial arts expert in Jianghai city?

“So it’s not surprising that there’s an array master in Jianghai city.”

“Then can you still crack this array?”

Chen Qingxuan nodded, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that they could crack it.

“How long will it take to break it?”

Chen Qingxuan pondered for a moment, and then said,

“If it was an ordinary array, it would definitely be faster. As for the imperial array, my fastest record was ten days, but that time, I had an array diagram.

“This array doesn’t have an array diagram, so it will probably take a longer time, about a month.”

“What?”

Everyone was dumbfounded again. How much time would it take to be trapped here for a month?

“Professor Chen, can you speed up the progress? We have important matters to attend to, so we can’t waste too much time here.”

Chen Qingxuan took a deep breath and said seriously,

“Alright, for the sake of the mission of the alliance, I, Chen, will go all out today. Please bring out the most precious array-breaking treasure of the Chen family, the eight trigrams disk, which has been passed down for a thousand years!

“My Chen family has an ancestral instruction. This thing can not be used lightly.”

“Eight trigrams disc?”

Some people did not know what that was so they could not help but ask.

As for the divine grandmaster, after frowning slightly and pondering for a moment, he could not help but exclaim.

“Could it be the array-breaking imperial weapon ranked 14th on the nine provinces weapon list, the eight trigrams disc?

“It was rumored that this plate had been passed down for a thousand years. It was created by a famous blacksmith in ancient times, and it even contained the essence of dozens of arrays. As long as they had this plate in their hands, there would be no array in the world that wouldn’t be broken?”

When everyone heard that, their scalps went numb again.

As expected of Professor Chen, the successor of the Chen family actually had such a treasure.

Chen Qingxuan smiled.

“It’s not that exaggerated. It definitely can’t break all the arrays in the world, but on the land of the nine provinces, 99 percent of the arrays, I am confident that I can break it.”

After saying that, he took out an eight trigram plate from his storage ring.

There were 64 eight trigram marks engraved on it, and in the middle was a round mirror, like mercury. There was a small snake inside, and it was a sealed star beast soul.

Everyone could not help but swallow their saliva.

Was that the eight trigrams plate?

The imperial array-breaking weapon ranked 14th on the nine provinces weapon list!

Today was really an eye-opener.

Chen Qingxuan did not delay. After taking out the eight trigrams plate, he immediately began to break the array.

Two hours later.

Chen Qingxuan sat on the ground with a plop. His face was as pale as wax.

“How is this possible? How could this be? The eight trigrams disk actually failed. It’s completely unable to break this array!”

Everyone’s expressions changed completely.

“Professor Chen, we don’t joke about this.”

Chen Qingxuan smiled bitterly.

“I, Chen, have already taken out my family’s array-breaking imperial weapon. Even if I want to joke, I can’t joke about the reputation of my Chen family’s ancestral treasure!”

“Then what should we do now?”

“Since things have come to this point, we can only take a walk and see if we can find the weak point of the array. Perhaps we still have a chance to break this array.”

After Ye Xiao returned, he received a call from Gu Hai early in the morning the next day.

“Old Ye, I saw from the group chat that your library is going to undergo a reform. Those below Houtian fourth grade are going to be expelled?”

“That’s true.”

“If that’s the case, you’ll probably be in trouble. You’d better hurry up and buy some good pills to see if you can make a breakthrough.

“I’ve transferred 50,000 yuan to you. You can raise some money yourself and see if you can buy a soul-condensing pill. If you can condense your soul, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to advance to Houtian fourth grade so you can still keep your job.”

“Where did you get so much money?”

“A few days ago, at Mengmeng’s full moon banquet, I asked Wanwan to lend you some money.”

Mengmeng was the name of Gu Hai’s daughter and also Ye Xiao’s goddaughter.

“I can’t take this money. You should just keep it to buy milk powder for your child.”

“Cut the crap. It wasn’t easy for you to become the supervisor. It would be a pity if you lost such a good job.”

Ye Xiao felt warm in his heart. No matter what, it was the intention of Gu Hai and his wife. Although he did not need it, he would not reject it too much. He could wait a few days and find an excuse to return it to them.

“Okay, then I’ll take it first. I’ll return it to you after I keep my job.”

“Yes. Also, pay attention to it these two days. Our Jianghai city has just issued a reward order to find a group of array masters from Jing province. If you can provide clues, there will be a reward of 200,000 yuan.”

“Array masters?”

“Yes, it’s Chen Qingxuan, the elite professor of the Array Formation Department of Jingdu Martial Arts Academy. And a few of his guards. I don’t know what’s going on. They were supposed to come to Jianghai city yesterday to set up the array, but they haven’t come yet. Moreover, their phones aren’t working, so we’ve completely lost contact.”

“Okay, I got it. I’ll try my best to keep an eye on them.”

“Alright, I’ll get busy first. Today, the entire city’s garrison team’s mission is to find them.. I think we’ll have a lot of work to do.”
