Upon hearing this, the Mountain-cutting Captain was startled and coughed slightly, quickly responding, "Three quarters past midnight, it seems to be the time when the Devil Race’s transmission array sends a new batch of Demon Soldiers. At that time, the outside protective array will open, are you planning to take this opportunity to break in?"
"It seems you know as well. Yes, this is the only opportunity," Zhao Quanzhen nodded.
After infiltrating Zhen Nan Prefecture, Zhao Quanzhen, through observations over the past few days, identified the location of the Devil Race’s transmission array in the prefecture. It was not hard to find, right at the city center, and the transmission array was guarded by a big formation and heavily protected by demons. Having figured out some patterns, he planned to act tonight.
Indeed, the Devil Race was redeploying troops, and every night at three quarters past midnight, the transmission array inside would activate, sending in a batch of Demon Soldiers. The external protective array would open an exit then, providing the only chance to slip inside amid the chaos.
Upon hearing this, the Mountain-cutting Captain’s previously dim eyes suddenly burned brightly, "May I ask who you are?"
"Enlightenment Mountain, Zhao Quanzhen!" Zhao Quanzhen spoke.
"Enlightenment Mountain? Ahem, turns out you are a prodigy of the great sect, admirable!"
"Sixth Mountain, Ji Lianshan!" He announced his own title, then looked at Zhao Quanzhen with a complicated gaze, "But this is extremely dangerous, with a multitude of demons in the Demon Cave, and possibly even a Great Demon guarding it. You have a bright future ahead..."
Zhao Quanzhen understood what he wanted to say, his expression calm, "The tens of thousands of soldiers of the Mountain-cutting Army have fallen on the battlefield, you all continue forward knowing the impossibility. I have also fought against enemies with the Ninth Mountain, counted as one among them, no need for more words."
When Sixth Mountain Captain Ji Lianshan heard this, he was deeply moved and said heavily, "Very well."
He then endured the pain and tore off an exquisite Green-striped Snail from his neck, full of solemnity, "I’m done for, this is my whistle. If you run into trouble charging into the formation, blow this whistle, our Mountain-cutting brothers hidden in Zhen Nan Prefecture like me for missions will surely do their best to assist you!"
He placed his whistle into Zhao Quanzhen’s hand, wrapping it tightly, shaking it heavily.
The wind and snow howled.
In Zhen Nan Prefecture, at the city center, under the night sky, a Black Light Array covered several miles like a giant eggshell.
And on the perimeter of the big formation, densely packed demon shadows were frightening to behold, with the Demonic Qi soaring to the sky.
As the night deepened, the howls on the periphery of the big formation gradually became feverish, and by midnight one quarter, "buzz buzz," the ground trembled, as if an earth dragon was rolling over.
At the center of that Black Light Array, a white beam of light broke through the formation, pierced through the night, and shot up into the sky, pouring down like moonlight.
Within the white beam, streams of light like the Star River cascaded down.
Before long, the large Black Light Array, like an overturned bowl, emitted a humming, and all around the array, openings appeared, from which came rushing out various streams of Demon Light. Within these lights were all kinds of grotesque, fierce and variant demons.
At this time, in the southwest direction, ten miles away from the big formation, Zhao Quanzhen stood atop the ruins of a high building, his eyes flickering, as his hands formed a seal, sending streams of light flying out from his sleeves, cutting through the long sky like shooting stars, heading towards the distant big formation.
His figure then disappeared from its original spot with a puff.
Those streams of light flew swiftly, cutting through the long night, crashing into the boiling demon group outside the big formation.
