Especially for someone like Jiang Chengxuan, whose strength was already well acknowledged by everyone.
Now, with his declaration of a new breakthrough, it implied that their side’s overall strength had climbed another step.
Indeed.
The six months of seclusion, though not very long, had brought significant progress to Jiang Chengxuan’s cultivation and strength.
He had not only elevated his cultivation from the fifth to the sixth level of Nascent Soul, but more importantly, his body tempering cultivation had also advanced to the late stage of the fifth level, which was equivalent to the late-stage Nascent Soul.
One could imagine that the current him, if facing his former self, could easily achieve a swift victory.
“By the way…”
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan seemed to remember something and turned to Shen Ruyan and the others.
“Wife, Fellow Daoist Dugu, I noticed you were discussing something earlier. Has anything significant happened during this time?
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s question, the expressions of those who had been joyous over his breakthrough once again turned soiemn.
Shen Ruyan responded, “Husband, we just received a message from Feilow
Daoist Flowing Snow.
The Big Dipper Purple Myrtle Array they are guarding is now in great danger. If possible, they hope that we or others can go to support them.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed at Shen Ruyan’s words.
He knew very well that the Big Dipper Purple Myrtle Array that Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and the others were guarding was a very important array eye of the Nine Heavens Starfall Array, just like the Jade Light Flying Immortal Array that they were guarding.
Any mishap there would have a significant impact.
However, according to what Jiang Chengxuan knew, other than Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and Perfected Lord Star Sea, there were three other grand cultivators in charge of guarding the Big Dipper Array.
If they had been as cautious as his group, there shouldn’t have been any problems.
The crisis at their end indicated something unusual must have occurred.
With this in mind, Jiang Chengxuan expressed his doubts.
Shen Ruyan and the others nodded, “Husband, you must remember the two Nascent Soul demonic cultivators who left from our place earlier, right?
‘Yes, you mean… ?’
“That’s right, it’s them.”
Shen Ruyan affirmed with a nod. “According to the information we have, the reason those two demonic cultivators left our area was to seek treasures that could break our array.
However, after learning about the fall of Tian Luo and his group, they did not return here but went elsewhere.
And that place happens to be the Big Dipper Purple Myrtle Array that Fellow Daoist Flying Snow and the others are in charge of guarding.
“So, you mean the crisis Flowing Snow and the others are facing is because those two Nascent Soul demonic cultivators brought treasures that could threaten their array?” Jiang Chengxuan understood the situation.
This made him frown.
Truth be told, going to rescue Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and his group carried significant risks.
If things went wrong, not only those who went to help would be in danger, but their own array might also face unexpected events.
Most importantly, who could guarantee that the demonic cultivators hadn’t set a trap? It’s possible that the demonic cultivators were waiting for them, or others, to fall into it.
Yet, ignoring this situation wasn’t an option either.
Setting aside the fact that Perfected Lord Flowing Snow was their friend, from a broader perspective, they couldn’t allow the array, which Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and others were guarding, to fall.
With this in mind, Jiang Chengxuan took out a set of arrays and handed it to Shen Ruyan, “Wife, this set is called the Eight Gates Locking Heaven Array.
If something happens here, activate this array.
Coupled with the current Jade Light Flying Immortal Array, it can even block a Level 6 attack.”
Taking the Eight Gates Locking Heaven Array from Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan immediately understood his intentions, which tightened her heart.
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded. “”You, along with Fellow Daoist Dugu, Fellow Daoist Situ, and Fellow Daoist Haochuan, should stay and guard this place.
Don’t worry, you know my capabilities. Even though there is some risk, my life is not in danger. You can rest assured.”
Shen Ruyan wanted to stop him, but she swallowed her words.
No one knew her husband better than she did.
She knew very well that since Jiang Chengxuan had already decided on this, very few people could change his mind.
Moreover, rescuing Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and others was indeed a necessary action.
While there might be others who would go to support Perfected Lord Flowing Snow, they had their own role to play.
Most importantly, as Jiang Chengxuan himself said, with his current abilities, even if faced with a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord, he had the capability to escape.
This was the main reason Shen Ruyan did not truly try to stop him.
After a while, Jiang Chengxuan left the Jade Light Flying Immortal Array.
At the same time.
Outside the Big Dipper Array where Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and the others were.
A massive army of demonic cultivators, dense like locusts, had completely surrounded the array.
The leaders were Blood River and the Dry Bone, who had left Jiang Chengxuan’s area earlier, along with three other Nascent Soul late-stage demonic cultivators.
They had the Slaying Wheel borrowed from Demon Illusionist.
So.
At that moment, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow and the others were in an extremely dangerous situation.
“Has there been no news yet?”
In the Big Dipper Array.
As a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Mo Tiancheng looked at the densely packed demonic cultivators outside the array and could not help but say with an extremely solemn tone.
He was the Supreme Elder of the World Edge Pavilion and a fifth-level array master.
Without him, their array eye would have probably collapsed when Blood River and Dry Bone took out the Slaying Wheel.
Even so, the situation was still dire, and even he felt somewhat powerless against the enemy.
The Slaying Wheel was too effective against their kind of array, and the other party had five grand cultivator-level combatants, putting them in a very passive position.
At the current rate, they could hold on for at most another three months.
Three months later.
The Big Dipper Array they were in charge of defending might not be able to withstand it.
“Currently, there is still no news,” replied Flowing Snow, shaking her head.
Mo Tiancheng’s expression darkened. “It’s been so long, and still no news. I’m afraid the news will never come.”
“Huh… ?”
Upon hearing Mo Tiancheng’s words, the expressions of Perfected Lord Flowing Snow, Perfected Lord Star Sea and the other two cultivators froze.
At that moment, an elder in a black Taoist robe spoke. He was the ancestor of the Zhou family, named Zhou Wentai, with a cultivation of the eighth level of Nascent Soul. Hearing Mo Tiancheng’s response, he said, “Fellow Daoist Mo, are you suggesting that…?”
Mo Tiancheng immediately nodded with an ugly expression. “Indeed. If my guess is correct, our external communication paths have probably been blocked..”
