Chapter 288: Level 4 Fluctuation (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the initial shock and disbelief, Hua Mengyou, Li Fei, Jiang Rendao, and the Bai family were overjoyed.
Since Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could kill a false Level 4 demon beast, it meant that their true strength was comparable to a False Core cultivator.
In this way, their hope of defending Ancient Origin City would undoubtedly increase greatly.
They really did not expect the couple’s true strength to be so terrifying.
However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t look all that happy and relieved.
This was because at this moment, they saw that the other demon beasts showed no signs of retreating.
This was very abnormal.
The two leading demon beasts were already dead, but they did not retreat, nor did they show any signs of retreating.
What did that mean?
Shen Ruyan, who already knew the results of Jiang Chengxuan’s deduction, suddenly narrowed her beautiful eyes.
She and Jiang Chengxuan quickly exchanged a glance.
Without wasting any time to think, the two of them immediately returned to Ancient Origin City.
At the same time, they did not forget to remind Hua Mengyou and the others to stop fighting and return to the city.
Hua Mengyou and the others were puzzled.
Now that the situation was in their favor, shouldn’t they follow up the victory with a hot pursuit?
Although that was what they thought, they did not take Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s reminder lightly.
They believed that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would not do it for no reason.
The six of them retreated as they fought.
After a while, they were back in the city.
BOOM!
Not long after they retreated inside the range of the protective array, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the Ancient Origin Mountain Range in the distance.
The fluctuation was vast, barging into the divine senses of Jiang Chengxuan and the others with enormous pressure.
That is…
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, especially Hua Mengyou and the other Violet Palace cultivators.
No one knew better than them what level the possessor of the fluctuation had to reach.
“A Level 4 demon beast…”
That’s a true Level 4 demon beast!”
Bai Zixuan suddenly said in horror.
The others also reacted very strongly.
Even Bai Mingshan, the ancestor of the Bai family, could not help but reveal traces of fear in his eyes.
It was no question that a Level 4 demon beast had already surpassed what they could resist.
Even if there was the Falling River Taiyi Array, they didn’t feel safe.
They had to ask for help immediately!
At this moment, Hua Mengyou immediately took out a long-range communication jade talisman from her body without any hesitation.
After quickly writing down the changes in the battle over here, she immediately sent it to the Jade Water Sword Pavilion.
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed.
The development of the situation was not much different from the future he had foreseen.
If this situation continued, the future he had foreseen would definitely happen.
It seemed like it was time for him to make some arrangements.
At the thought of this, an array disk appeared in his hand.
It was the Stars Chain Array that the system rewarded him with.
Seeing Jiang Chengxuan suddenly take out the array disc, everyone looked over.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is…?”
Hua Mengyou subconsciously asked.
Jiang Chengxuan said seriously,
“I obtained this array disk by chance.
It’s called the Stars Chain Array and is a Level 4 array disc.
As long as it is activated, it can temporarily protect the Ancient Origin City.”
“Really?”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, everyone revealed a look of disbelief.
Immediately, it was replaced by a look of joy.
Bai Mingshan said, “If that’s the case, we should be able to deal with that Level 4 demon beast.”
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you need us to pay a price?
Or rather, what do you want in return?”
At this moment, Hua Mengyou said with an unusually serious expression.
This was also what Jiang Chengxuan admired about her the most.
Clearly, Hua Mengyou had already realized that if they wanted Jiang Chengxuan to use this array disc, they would have to pay the corresponding price.
They couldn’t just let Jiang Chengxuan do everything while they enjoyed the fruits of his labor.
Or rather, she was unwilling to take advantage of Jiang Chengxuan.
Especially after Jiang Chengxuan and his Dao companion displayed their true strength, Hua Mengyou did not want to become enemies with them or leave a bad impression.
That was really not worth it.
After all, judging from their potential, it was only a matter of time before Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan broke through to the Golden Core.
The three members of the Bai family obviously thought of this too.
Bai Mingshan nodded and said, “Fellow Daoist Hua is right. Fellow Daoist Jiang, tell us what you need. As long as it’s something we can do, we won’t refuse.”
Hua Mengyou and Bai Mingshan’s responses satisfied Jiang Chengxuan.
It could be seen that both of them were sensible people. Nothing that he did not want to see happened.
At that moment, he said in a low voice,
“I think you all know the resources required to activate a Level 4 array disk.
1 need spiritual stones, a large number of spiritual stones.
At least 500,000.
That will be enough to sustain it for a day or two.”
It would cost 500,000 spiritual stones to sustain the array disk for a day or two.
That meant if they wanted to keep the array disk running, they would have to consume a million spiritual stones.
If reinforcements didn’t arrive in time, the number of spiritual stones needed would be astronomical.
However, they were left with no choice.
Ancient Origin City they were in did not have any spiritual vein to rely on.
Even if there was a high-grade Level 4 spiritual vein deep underground, they couldn’t use it as of now, and nor did they dare to use it.
So.
If they wanted to activate and unleash the true power of the array disk, they could only do it through spiritual stones.
This was also why war was in essence a war of resources.
Be it the activation of the arrays or the activation of Dharma artifacts and Dharma treasures, they all required spiritual stones, a large number of spiritual stones.
Jiang Chengxuan’s words put a solemn look on everyone’s face.
It had to be said that such a number of spiritual stones was huge to even late-stage Violet Palace cultivators like them.
Most importantly, they did not know how long this war would last.
What if it was going to last for a few months?
In that case, even if he took out all the spiritual stones on them, it would probably be far from enough.
However, no matter what, buying time was most crucial at this moment.
Hua Mengyou, Bai Mingshan, and the others nodded.
“We have no problem.. Other than that, do you have any other requests?”
