Listening to the Sect Leader’s endless rant, Elder Bai Fa remained completely silent.
Show some dignity!
You’ve already formed a Golden Core and become the first Golden Core Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness in a thousand years, and now you’re fortunate enough to witness the legendary Divine Beast’s appearance, yet you’re still complaining about the unfairness of the Heavenly Dao?
Such words are more fitting for us old cultivators, hopeless for a Golden Core, or for those Fake Core ancestors who’ve already passed.
However, he only dared to complain like this in his heart.
If he said it out loud, even Mad Saber Zhenren, who is usually good to his people, would be displeased.
Just then, while Mad Saber Zhenren was rambling on, the Sect Protection Array suddenly emitted a rapid alarm. The Sound Transmission Talisman that Elder Bai Fa always kept by his hand immediately activated.
"Grand Elder, someone is coming! One man, one dog, riding on clouds!"
One man, one dog!?
Mad Saber Zhenren is almost traumatized by the word "dog."
At this moment, hearing the disciple’s shout, he instinctively clutched the wound on his chest and stomach, shrinking his neck, cautiously raising his head to look at the sky.
Only to see Lu Wenwu, with an unhappy expression, hovering in the high sky with Mao Mao, observing the Mountain Protection Array of the Mad Blade Temple.
"They really dare to come!?"
"Cloud Riding! Is it really the Divine Beast Huo Dou!?"
Both Mad Saber Zhenren and Elder Bai Fa said simultaneously.
After speaking, the two exchanged glances, dumbfounded.
Elder Bai Fa: "The Sect Leader’s good fortune is deep; it’s almost certain that this dog is the Divine Beast Huo Dou cub from myths and legends. If we can..."
Mad Saber Zhenren: "Don’t panic, with the Mountain Protection Array here, they can’t get in, and our Defense Array is also bought from the Five Elements Array Sect..."
The two simultaneously spoke again and were again surprised.
"Isn’t the Sect Leader thinking of luring it back to the Sect, using the power of the array to capture the Divine Beast?" Elder Bai Fa asked in confusion.
"You’re crazy, that’s a legendary Divine Beast!" Mad Saber Zhenren was incredulous, "If you hadn’t seen it, I might let it pass. Now you’ve seen the state I’m in, and you still want to make a move? Are we out of our minds?"
Elder Bai Fa swung his duster, puzzled: "Why is Zhenren so? Our Sect Protection Array can erupt with power comparable to a Fake Infant Powerhouse, and can withstand attacks from a Nascent Soul True Monarch a few times. No matter how strong the bloodline talent secret technique of the Divine Beast cub is, or how defiant it is, can it really attack a Nascent Soul with Qi Refining?"
In mid-air, Lu Wenwu activated the Eye of True Sight to survey the Mountain Protection Array before them.
This was the first time he had seen such a rarity, so he was very intrigued.
[Medium Five Elements Sect Protection Array]: 60 0000/60 0000
[Cultivation]: Quasi-Fourth Tier
[Current State]: Fully Activated, Abundant Spiritual Qi Supply
[Analysis]: A standard Sect Protection Array (Medium) designed by the Five Elements Array Sect, manufactured by the Xuanqian Sect, hosted with Golden Core cultivation, aided by a huge amount of Spirit Stones, capable of briefly erupting Fake Infant Realm power. Fully concentrated defense can briefly withstand the power of an early-stage Nascent Soul. The specific strength depends on the host’s cultivation and the Spirit Stones invested.
Lu Wenwu: "..."
So weak, suddenly not interested.
Sixty thousand Blood Volume might be decent for a person.
For an array, it’s really quite garbage, brother.
I thought your Mountain Protection Array would be amazing...
This won’t do either, brother.
"The light-hearted bald head in the crowd, hit my dog and still want to run? Hurry and come out to face your death!" Lu Wenwu’s voice was loud, rolling waves instantly spread throughout the Mad Blade Temple.
Elder Bai Fa was stunned: "Sect Leader, is he really only at Qi Refining Great Perfection? Then why is he so arrogant?"
Mad Saber Zhenren felt bewildered too, murmuring: "It might be because loose cultivators don’t have much knowledge, unaware of the strength of our Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, so relying on being recognized by the Divine Beast they think they are invincible?"
"Then what should we do..."
Elder Bai Fa glanced over inquisitively, gesturing with a hand slicing his neck.
"Sect Leader, rare opportunities like this one, if we could capture the Divine Beast, your Nascent Soul might be in sight!"
Mad Saber Zhenren’s face was uncertain.
Finally, he made a decision, gritting his teeth: "We’ll do this! Let the brothers prepare!"
"As the Sect Leader commands!"
Elder Bai Fa’s expression instantly became serious, holding his duster, he flew into one of the array hubs.
Mad Saber Zhenren poured a large amount of Spiritual Medicine on his wound again, causing the injury to rapidly heal.
He also flew into the sky, standing at the center of the Mountain Protection Array, his whole body’s Spiritual Power subtly connected with the entire mountain under his feet, forming an imposing presence reaching the sky and connecting the earth.
The principle of arrays mainly relies on using human power to borrow the momentum of heaven and earth through certain methods.
It’s part of the derivation of the path of Cultivation Civilization to understand nature, transform nature, and utilize nature.
Now Mad Saber Zhenren, along with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Elders and over a hundred Qi Refining Disciples of the Mad Blade Temple, merged into the array, borrowing the mountains and Spirit Veins underfoot, forming a presence as if they were one with heaven, condensing the momentum of heaven and earth.
"Finished?"
Lu Wenwu eagerly waited for a few minutes.
As they seemed to have completely integrated, he then inquired with interest.
"Evil Demonic Demon, stop thinking you’re invincible because you have a Divine Beast cub, and can run rampant in the territory of the Immortal Dao Alliance!"
With the power boost from the array, Mad Saber Zhenren now felt the strength comparable to a Fake Infant Powerhouse, and his heart once again surged with boundless confidence and grandeur.
"Originally, if you sneak away like a rat, I, Mad Saber Zhenren, would generously let you go. But now that you’ve come knocking, don’t blame me for being ruthless, chopping you down before the mountain gate with the saber in my hand!"
"Demonic Demon? Me?" Lu Wenwu’s eyebrows arched, "Don’t blindly accuse me, how am I a Demonic Demon? What did I do?"
"Bah! Demonic scoundrel, you know well what you’ve done!"
Mad Saber Zhenren, now with overflowing confidence, suddenly activated the sect array, concentrating it into a gigantic War Saber, and directly slashed toward Lu Wenwu’s head.
"Evil Demon Cultivator, meet your end!"
"Hold on, explain, how am I this ’cultivator’? Slandering someone, right?"
Lu Wenwu furrowed his brows, casually raised his hand, and with two fingers easily pinched the enormous Ghost Head Saber that was dozens of meters long.
Mad Saber Zhenren’s expression immediately changed.
Even though he had already poured everything into driving the array, sacrificing a Spirit Vein to squeeze Spiritual Qi, the Mountain Protection Array remained unmoved.
Lu Wenwu gently twisted his right index and middle fingers, and that giant Ghost Head Saber, which was lethal enough to directly kill a Golden Core Zhenren, instantly shattered from the middle, breaking into two pieces and falling downward.
Glancing at the stunned and silent cultivators on the mountain, Lu Wenwu aimed at the Mountain Protection Array and raised his fist, mustering strength and punched directly upward.
"Boom!"
That Mountain Protection Array, claimed to resist even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, shattered!
Just one punch!
"Pfft!"
Mad Saber Zhenren and more than ten Foundation Establishment Elders all spat blood.
The backlash from the array being forcibly breached was something their cultivation couldn’t endure without harm.
They faired better, merely temporarily losing control of Spiritual Power within their bodies and falling to the ground.
Some Qi Refining disciples, with weaker cultivation, instantly had their Spiritual Power reverse, busting their Heart Vein and dying, spitting up blood.
Even the Spirit Vein buried under the mountains experienced some damage at the moment the array shattered.
The power of one punch shook the earth and mountains.
The entire mountain trembled violently.
Gashing and cracking opened up continuously on the mountain body, large chunks of soil and stone disintegrated above the cliffs, destroying the pavilions and towers on top without a trace.
The halls reinforced with array patterns held up, but regular Spirit Fields and houses were mostly ruined under the residue of Lu Wenwu’s punch.
Lu Wenwu made a leap, landing heavily before Mad Saber Zhenren.
"Tell me, why say I’m a Demon Cultivator?"
