Chapter 379 - 379 Familiar Blood Array
379 Familiar Blood Array
“Impossible! I’ve never heard of such a person in the human clan!”
“It’s probably a certain Lord who traveled here and couldn’t stand the vicious methods of those demon cultivators, so he took action.”
“Perhaps he’s a friend of the King’s. Knowing that our Floating Jade is in trouble, he especially comes to help.”
“It seems that our Floating Jade can be saved!”
Very quickly, the identity of the man who appeared in the sky was widely discussed, and there were many speculations.
No matter what they guessed, in the hearts of Floating Jade Island rogue cultivators, this expert who could break Floating Jade Island array with a single spear strike was on their side and had come to save them.
However, what they didn’t know was that while they were discussing, the man floating in the void had shifted his gaze away from them and looked toward the north. He looked around the vast sea with a puzzled expression.
“This is a freezing cold land? I’ve actually returned to freezing cold land? Didn’t Old Zhao say that the passageway would lead to the Qing Emperor’s treasure pavilion?”
The young man said in disbelief as he looked at the boundless black sea.
The young man who had suddenly appeared and broken the Floating Jade Array was Gu Mingzhou.
At that time, Gu Mingzhou wanted to look at the treasure pavilion left behind by the Qing Emperor. It was also Zhao Qiankun’s wish.
Neither Gu Mingzhou nor Zhao Qiankun had expected they would not see the treasure pavilion after flying for three days and three nights along the void passageway.
Gu Mingzhou, who had just walked out of the void passageway, found that there was a formation under his feet that could forcibly absorb the blood essence of living creatures, and it was working.
Therefore, he immediately broke it.
It was not until he broke the formation that he realized he was not in the Qing Emperor’s treasure pavilion. Instead, he had returned to the original Great World. He was confused and could not figure it out, so he could only ask Zhao Qiankun.
“I reckon that the information was wrong. There is no such thing as the Qing Emperor’s treasure pavilion. However, since you’ve returned, it’s better to hide your identity. Xu Fengyu is still in this world, and you may not be his match now!”
Zhao Qiankun’s explanation cleared up Gu Mingzhou’s doubts.
He had only heard about the existence of the Qing Emperor’s treasure pavilion from He Youliang. Shangguan Fei and the others had no idea about it, so it was impossible to tell whether it was true or not.
But now, Gu Mingzhou had already determined that the news was fake.
After all, the passage was not the treasure pavilion, but a freezing cold land.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Originally, he had hoped to obtain treasures from the Qing Emperor’s treasure pavilion to use against Xu Fengyu. Now that his hope had been shattered, he naturally felt a little sad.
However, this kind of sadness did not last for long. It only lasted for a moment.
His mind was focused on the formation that he had just broken.
The reason why he decisively broke the formation was that he thought it was a defense set up to protect the treasure pavilion, and also because he sensed a powerful suction force from the formation.
It was somewhat similar to the Heavenly Devouring Technique he cultivated, but it was more brutal and domineering than the Heavenly Devouring Technique. It could directly and forcefully devour living souls.
For example, Xu Fengyu’s method of absorbing rogue cultivators from Tian Ling had made Gu Mingzhou wary, so he made a move decisively.
This large array with a suction force was exactly the same as the method Xu Fengyu had used earlier. The relationship between the two was probably not simple, and this large array was likely to have come from Xu Fengyu.
Gu Mingzhou could not help but take such a guess seriously.
If this formation was really related to Xu Fengyu, then Gu Mingzhou had to save them!
After confirming where he was, Gu Mingzhou looked down at the countless creatures kneeling on the ground.
If not for Gu Mingzhou’s decisive action, these living beings would probably have turned to dust, their souls scattered, and their bodies and cultivation destroyed.
The method of setting up a formation was simply cruel to the extreme!
It was more similar to Xu Fengyu’s style and methods of doing things in his impression, and it made the guess in his heart more and more real.
“Could it be Floating Jade Island, one of the three great rogue cultivator islands?” Gu Mingzhou muttered to himself.
He had been to Yanhuang Island and had some understanding of Sacred Soul Island.
The wide Island beneath his feet was not the same as Yanhuang Island he had been to, but it did not match Sacred Soul Island either. So, the only Island left was Floating Jade Island.
Of course, he was only guessing and not sure.
“In that case, let’s check it out first!” Gu Mingzhou’s spiritual sense overflowed, instantly enveloping the island beneath his feet.
With Gu Mingzhou’s current cultivation, he could use his spiritual sense to check the island, although he could barely do it.
Just as he released his spiritual sense, everyone in the Floating Jade Palace knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.
The left protector, who had been sitting in front of the hall, slowly stood up.
He wanted to escape from the back of the palace with Xiong Tian while no one was paying attention.
Now that the Floating Jade Array had been broken and a mysterious mighty figure had appeared, it was obvious that the situation was over.
If he stayed here any longer, he would have been killed by the tens of thousands of wandering cultivators even if the one million demonic cultivators managed to attack the island.
Traitors were always hated by the world, no matter the reason!
Thus, the left protector had no choice but to flee!
From the moment he stood up, a pair of eyes had already locked onto him.
When the left protector turned around with Xiong Tian, an angry shout rang out in the hall.
“It’s too late to escape now!” the dazzling sword light soared into the sky.
Whoosh!
The sword intent rose and illuminated the palace.
A sharp sword rose from the crowd, emitting countless sword gleams and attracting everyone’s attention.
The one who attacked was the new clan leader of the human clan’s rogue cultivators, Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu and Wang Meng had a very close relationship. Their love was as deep as water, and they were as close as brothers.
The moment Wang Meng had broken through the palace’s protective array and chosen to self-destruct, Ye Xiu’s goal had been to kill the left protector and avenge Wang Meng.
If it were not for the left protector and Xiong Tian’s betrayal, seizing the core of the Floating Jade Array and sealing the Floating Jade Palace, the rogue cultivator of Floating Jade would not have been in danger, and Wang Meng might not have died.
The three-foot-long sword in Ye Xiu’s hand was originally Wang Meng’s.
The sword slashed across!
Gu Mingzhou, who was in the sky, quickly understood the situation on Floating Jade Island as his spiritual sense spread.
Then, he sent his spiritual sense into the mind of a low-rank cultivator to understand the entire Floating Jade Island.
The demon cultivators at the bottom of the sea suddenly attacked and attacked two islands in succession, directly destroying the islands.
Now, he turned his attention to the remaining Floating Jade Island.
As for the strongest expert of Floating Jade Island, the Island Master had chosen to go into seclusion and had yet to appear.
Such a situation caused Floating Jade Island to be without a leader for many years. Disputes were endless on the island, and there were undercurrents surging among the various clans.
However, Floating Jade Island’s tens of thousands of rogue cultivators should be able to withstand the attacks of the underwater demonic cultivators with the help of the Floating Jade Array.
To everyone’s surprise, the demonic cultivators at the bottom of the sea were well prepared. Not only could they release the blood array that transformed the Floating Jade Array, but they could also make the left protector of Floating Jade Island rebel at the critical moment and seize control of the Floating Jade Array.
The consequences would have been unimaginable if Gu Mingzhou had not appeared in time to break the Floating Jade Array!
He didn’t pay any attention to the battle in the Floating Jade Palace below. Instead, he turned his attention to the north.
According to Gu Mingzhou’s understanding, the demon cultivators in the underwater freezing cold land did not leave their homes and never surfaced. Even two years ago, when cultivators and individual cultivators were constantly fighting, they had always ignored it.
