Seeing this scene, Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao were utterly shocked.
Yan Xiaohu quickly reacted and took out his big knife immediately.
"Damn it, we’ve been ambushed by these bastards!" After saying that, he was ready to charge with his knife held high.
Mo Xingjian slapped the back of his head and then frowned tightly as he looked at the perimeter.
Many demon beasts were fiercely fighting with the Five Sects disciples, likely charging out just before the array was activated.
"The array is already activated, don’t go in!" After warning them, Mo Xingjian charged towards the fight.
Zhou Qing pulled out his broken sword, exchanged a glance with Lu Yaoyao, and immediately went to assist.
In an instant, blood splattered and severed limbs flew in the air.
Yan Xiaohu stood there dazed, seemingly not comprehending the situation.
"No, what is going on?"
Due to the vastness of Canglan Mountain, everyone could only carry out their cleansing operation along the edges.
For a time, the light of swords and knives flickered, and spells lit up the sky.
By the time they had wiped out the demon race at the edges, a whole day had quietly passed.
The disciples of the Five Sects, with their eyes bloodshot from the killing, after a brief rest, charged in without hesitation.
Mo Xingjian stood quietly to the side, watching as the blood completely stained the ground. The thick blood gathered together, forming startling streams of blood creeping along.
Within the array, the sounds of fighting, screaming, and demon beasts roaring were interwoven, echoing over the entire Canglan Mountain, creating a chilling atmosphere.
"Your Master-Uncle woke me up because he was worried you wouldn’t listen and charge in. After all, if he wanted to use some methods, it wouldn’t have to be this troublesome. But he wanted to respect you, do you understand?"
Mo Xingjian looked at Zhou Qing with a gentle gaze, speaking earnestly.
Meeting his master’s eyes, Zhou Qing seemed to understand something and silently nodded.
Mo Xingjian suddenly reached out, gently touching the heads of Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu, a kind smile appearing on his face.
"Without realizing it, you both have grown up. Since you are adults now, you should obey. Will you listen to your master?" Mo Xingjian asked softly, his eyes full of expectation.
The two were deeply moved, their eyes slightly red, and hurriedly responded in unison, "Yes, we will listen."
Mo Xingjian looked gratified, nodding lightly, and said, "I trust you both."
Then, he slowly turned his head, gazing at the vast and mysterious array before him. His expression became solemn with a hint of resolve.
"Each generation has its responsibilities. Inside there are my family, old friends, and rare memories I hold. How could I not be there."
"Master..." The two’s eyes warmed up.
Mo Xingjian turned his head, looking at Yan Xiaohu seriously, and said, "Third, keep an eye on your junior brother. He’s never been reliable, and I need you to be reliable this time!"
Yan Xiaohu naturally understood the meaning behind his master’s words. Fresh chapters posted on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
Currently, they didn’t know how many Divinity Transformation realm experts were fighting in the array. The situation was extremely dangerous. Being at the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown stage, the fourth junior brother had unlimited potential and must not fall into peril.
"Don’t worry, Master. I know what to do." Yan Xiaohu quickly assured, giving Zhou Qing a slap on his back and urging, "Hurry up and speak."
Zhou Qing clenched his hands tightly, as if gathering all his emotions in that grip, then firmly said, "Master, don’t worry. I promise I won’t go in."
Hearing this, Mo Xingjian finally revealed a gratified smile.
Seeing Mo Xingjian lift his foot to leave, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly shouted, "Master, when you enter Canglan Mountain, could you first go to the cave mansion at Hou Mountain of the Demon King? That jade bed and the Spirit Mushrooms are extremely valuable. Before others find out... Master..."
Before Yan Xiaohu could finish, Mo Xingjian flashed and instantly entered the array, disappearing from sight.
Facing the resentful expressions of Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao, Yan Xiaohu awkwardly coughed and sighed, "You two are still too young. There’s a deeper meaning to what Senior Brother said. Who knows what the killing inside looks like, and Master’s delay in engaging head-on would be better."
The two grunted in response.
To be safe, Zhou Qing led the others to hide on the side first.
At this time, Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao learned from Zhou Qing about the details of what was happening, both looking utterly shocked.
The incomplete fifth-level Demon-Sealing and Killing Array, the hidden fourth-level killing array, the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, the Spirit Severing Realm hope, and the Five Sects’ combined schemes...
How did things escalate to such a large scale without a sound?
By the way, why did Master-Uncle bring you along?
And when did you become a first-level Array Master?
We’ve always been together as senior and junior brothers, so how did you gain this enviable status behind my back?
[Heart Mirror Points +8]
Above Yan Xiaohu’s head, the note [junior brother who wants to pluck some nose hairs] quickly changed to [junior brother making secret progress].
Zhou Qing didn’t explain much, as the matters were too complex to clarify in a short time, and this wasn’t the right moment for it anyway.
At this moment, other small sects, who had gotten word of the Five Sects’ counterattack against the demon race, also arrived stealthily, cautiously approaching the battle’s edge.
Under the watchful eyes of Zhou Qing and the others, these people approached carefully and then frantically searched the corpses of the Five Sects’ disciples.
Their eyes gleamed with greed as they looted storage bags, weapons, magical treasures, and didn’t even spare the dead’s clothes and boots.
As for the bodies of the dead demon beasts, they excitedly and efficiently collected them, skillfully cutting out the valuable parts from the larger ones.
