Free Web NovelChapter 583: Chapter 294: Divine Split Beast Taming, The Mo Family’s Crisis
Afterward, she used her Golden Core Magical Power to gather the rest of the Mo Clan Members.
Mo Hong, Mo Feng, and the others were all confused and began asking why.
Mo Qingxue explained, "A great enemy from the Western Domain is about to attack. I have no confidence in this battle, so I’m sending you away first. If I am defeated and perish, you must not seek revenge for me. Just quietly accumulate your strength."
Upon hearing this, worried expressions appeared on the faces of Mo Hong and the others.
But before they could ask for details, Mo Qingxue had already sealed them inside a Spirit Beast Bag.
After that, she deployed a Puppet to send the Mo Clan Members away, while she herself remained in the now-empty clan territory.
At that moment, Li Chang’an had already entered the Mo Family Treasure Vault.
With a wave of his hand, he collected all the materials suitable for Array Formation.
’These materials aren’t enough. I’ll still have to chip in a lot of my own. After this is over, I’ll dismantle the Array and take my materials back.’
’If Mo Qingxue wants to keep the Array, she’ll have to compensate me with other Treasures.’
Li Chang’an was always a meticulous planner; he would never suffer a loss for nothing.
His figure flickered. He left the Treasure Vault, transforming into a series of afterimages that appeared all over the Mo Clan Territory.
In just a few moments, he had completely and cleanly dismantled the Mo Family’s original Tier Three Arrays.
Seeing this, Mo Qingxue’s heart could not be calm, because she had not transferred control of the Mo Clan Territory’s Array to Li Chang’an.
In other words, Li Chang’an had forcibly dismantled all the Arrays!
Among them were even Tier Three Top Grade Arrays, but they hadn’t posed the slightest obstacle to Li Chang’an.
"Daoist Li, your Array Dao Skills have indeed advanced to the Tier Three Top Grade."
"They’re just a few tricks to save my skin, nothing worth mentioning."
Li Chang’an smiled and began to set up the new Array Formation.
After so many years of honing his craft, his Array Dao Skills were far beyond what they were when he first reached the Tier Three Top Grade. He had reached the very limit of the Tier Three Array Dao.
He could be considered a Quasi-Tier Four Array Master.
However, due to a lack of subsequent legacy knowledge, he had been unable to take that final step.
As time passed, one Tier Three Top Grade Grand Array after another took shape.
Finally, a full seven Tier Three Top Grade Grand Arrays appeared within the Mo Clan Territory!
The foundation of these seven Arrays was the Five Elements Life-generating Array, supplemented by two additional Arrays of Slaughter designed for extreme offense. This was the pinnacle of Li Chang’an’s work in the Array Dao.
He could kill as many Golden Core Cultivators as dared to come!
"It’s done!"
Li Chang’an let out a slow breath and landed beside Mo Qingxue.
With these seven Grand Arrays in place, it would be enough to protect the Mo Clan Territory.
The two of them sat quietly on the roof of a large hall within the territory, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Mo Qingxue turned to look at Li Chang’an, a flicker of complex emotions in her eyes.
"Daoist Li, do you remember? Before your Core Formation, I once asked you when we could be honest with each other."
"Of course I remember."
"At the time, you were focused solely on your Core Formation and didn’t answer me. Have you thought about it now?"
Mo Qingxue’s tone was no longer as cold as it used to be; it had become very gentle.
Hearing this, Li Chang’an also turned his head to look at her.
Their gazes met once more. They looked at each other for a long time, and a different kind of emotion gradually grew between them.
This time, Mo Qingxue took the initiative to break the unusual silence.
"Daoist Li, with our level of talent, we’re destined never to reach Nascent Soul Formation. The Golden Core is the end of our path in this life. We still have over three hundred years left. Do you really want to walk that path all alone?"
"About that..."
Li Chang’an thought for a moment.
’Although Mo Qingxue only has about three hundred years of life left, I have more than that.’
"Daoist Mo, let’s discuss this matter again after the battle is over."
"Alright."
Mo Qingxue nodded lightly and said no more.
She had already revealed her heart’s feelings, speaking quite bluntly.
What happened next would depend on Li Chang’an’s decision.
Time flew by.
「A few hours later.」
Li Chang’an suddenly looked up, gazing toward the distant horizon.
"They’re here!"
With that, he vanished from his spot and hid himself deep within the Array to control the entire Grand Array.
With a grave expression, Mo Qingxue summoned a Magical Treasure and stared into the distance.
She hadn’t detected the enemy’s arrival, not even sensing a single ripple of Magical Power.
This was because Shi Hu Master and the dozen or so other Golden Core Masters were using a Quasi-Tier Four Treasure that concealed their auras and figures.
They didn’t reveal themselves, instead secretly observing the Array at the Mo Clan Territory.
After a while, Shi Hu Master spoke, questioning one of the Tier Three Top Grade Array Masters.
"How is the Array at this Mo Clan Territory? Are you confident you can break it?"
"Yes!"
A look of confidence appeared on the Array Master’s face.
"The Array at this Mo Clan Territory is even weaker than the one at the Ou Clan Territory. We’ll be able to break it very quickly!"
The reason he was so confident was that everything he saw was an illusion intentionally left by Li Chang’an.
A moment later, the two Tier Three Top Grade Array Masters from the Western Domain stepped forward together and began to dismantle the Array.
The others watched from a short distance away.
As soon as the two broke the Array, they would all charge in and slaughter everyone in the Mo Clan Territory as quickly as possible.
However, at that very moment, disaster struck!
The Array’s power suddenly surged, instantly swallowing the two Array Masters.
"Not good!"
The others immediately realized something was wrong.
Someone summoned a Magical Treasure, about to go to the rescue, but was held back by Shi Hu Master.
"Go! We can’t stay here!"
With a grave expression, Shi Hu Master led the group in a rapid retreat.
Almost in the next instant, the wildly expanding Array engulfed the spot where they had just been hiding.
If they had been a step slower, all of them would have been trapped inside the Array!
At the same time, the immense Array Power gathered into a sharp, long arrow. Filled with astonishing killing intent, it suddenly tore through the sky, reaching the group in an instant.
Sensing this tyrannical aura, everyone’s expression changed.
The power of this long arrow had already surpassed the Golden Core Limit. Besides Shi Hu Master, none of the others could block it.
"Suppress!"
Shi Hu Master let out a fierce shout and threw out a Talisman.
The Talisman erupted in a brilliant golden light. Countless intricate Spirit Patterns burned as it emanated Tier Four fluctuations, firmly blocking the arrow.
"A Tier Four Talisman!"
Inside the Array, Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened as he stared at the Talisman.
This Treasure was clearly one of Shi Hu Master’s trump cards.
He used the Array Power to launch several more long arrows in succession, but they were all blocked by the Tier Four Talisman.
Under the Talisman’s protection, Shi Hu Master and the numerous Golden Core Cultivators from the Western Domain made their escape.
Many of the Golden Core Cultivators were unwilling to accept this failure, especially since they had lost two Tier Three Top Grade Array Masters.
"The Mo Family’s foundation is clearly no match for the Ou Family’s. Why is their clan territory’s Array so powerful?"
They looked back, unable to understand.
Faced with such an Array, it would be difficult to break through the Mo Family’s defenses even if they gathered more forces.
"Since we’re already here, we can’t just return empty-handed. Why don’t we go and test our luck at Li Chang’an’s Changqing Mountain?"
