For anyone below the Saint level daring to kill him, the sin was so great it would warrant the Heavenly Punishment Department to eliminate them.
Even as a prince, although the crime was not punishable by death, he would still be suppressed by heavenly might and imprisoned in the Heavenly Punishment Department's dungeon for at least several decades.
So, why would he care about the Seventeenth Prince's threats?
"Since the Seventeenth Highness looks down on us array masters, I will take my leave."
Qi Zhewu's face was icy as he turned to walk toward the door.
As he passed by Fairy Dongyan, who was sitting quietly to the side, he paused and said, "Fairy Dongyan, since the Seventeenth Prince and Duke Heng hold us array masters in such low regard, would you leave with me?"
Fairy Dongyan glanced at him and replied indifferently, "The only one looked down upon is you, why involve me?"
Qi Zhewu was taken aback.
Array masters were extremely proud, as there were only a handful in the world.
If he heard someone else say to another array master, "Aren't you just an array master?" or "When you aren't needed, what are you worth?" even if it wasn't directed at him, he would still feel angry.
For this statement, although aimed at an individual, was clearly disparaging array masters!
But Fairy Dongyan didn't care at all?
"So, Fairy Dongyan, are you planning to help the Seventeenth Prince build his residence?" Qi Zhewu asked with a frown.
But inwardly, he didn't care much.
After all, Fairy Dongyan primarily focused on Daoism, not arrays, specializing only in killing arrays and trapping arrays, which weren't that significant.
Di Hong City wasn't a place where one could kill easily, so why need a killing array?
"Me? I'm not here to help the Seventeenth Prince."
Fairy Dongyan glanced at him, then turned to Lin Yue and said, "I am here on my master's orders to ask the Seventeenth Prince where his Prince Mansion is planned to be built."
"Could your master be... the Immortal Bi Xu?" Lin Yue asked.
"Yes." Fairy Dongyan turned her hand, revealing a broken jade talisman.
Lin Yue examined it closely and found it could indeed be pieced together with the incomplete jade talisman his master had sent him, their aura completely identical!
Duke Heng seemed to recall something and was slightly taken aback.
Qi Zhewu had never heard of Immortal Bi Xu.
But to be Fairy Dongyan's master, perhaps he was at the Saint level?
"My Prince Mansion is planned to be built in Tianmu Square, what does your master intend..."
Lin Yue hadn't finished speaking when Fairy Dongyan said, "Once the Prince's residence is built, my master will set up a Liangyi Heavenly Heart Array for free as repayment for your master's past favor."
"Liangyi Heavenly Heart Array?" Qi Zhewu exclaimed, staring incredulously at Fairy Dongyan.
He couldn't help but ask, "Your master can set up the Liangyi Heavenly Heart Array? The Shangqing Sect's grand formation?"
"That grand formation was arranged by my master." Fairy Dongyan said flatly, "Why not?"
Qi Zhewu was stunned.
As an array master, how could he not understand the fearsome power and difficulty of setting up the Liangyi Heavenly Heart Array?
Such a peerless array was simply not something an array master could arrange!
No wonder this Seventeenth Prince didn't care about him. With such a figure akin to a Saint in the array path helping, and for free, why would he hold an array master like him in regard?
Qi Zhewu left without a word, taking his men with him.
After confirming the time and address of the Prince Mansion, Fairy Dongyan also departed.
According to her, she mainly wanted to avoid outsiders observing and interfering when her master set up the array, so she hadn't spoken earlier, hoping to chat privately after Lin Yue and Qi Zhewu finished their discussions.
However, since things had already escalated, Qi Zhewu wouldn't have the opportunity to enter the Prince Mansion, so she spoke up.
"Your Highness, with such a great power in the array path assisting you, why didn't you say earlier?" Duke Heng shook his head helplessly, "Had I known, I wouldn't have needed to invite any array masters."
"Lord Qi, I wasn't sure myself earlier."
Lin Yue also replied helplessly, "My master sent this incomplete jade talisman on the day of my grand wedding, but said nothing. I only suspected that the Immortal Bi Xu might intervene because of it, but I couldn't be sure."
"Indeed." Duke Heng laughed, "However, with the Liangyi Heavenly Heart Array, your Prince Mansion is likely to be the most top-notch residence in the whole of Di Hong City."
"The most top-notch?"
Lin Yue asked in confusion, "But it's just an array. Even if it's very strong, it's not so exaggerated, right? Doesn't Lord Qi's residence also have a Saint-level array?"
"That's not comparable." Duke Heng shook his head, "The Saint-level array in my mansion is incomplete. It's only considered decent when combined with over a hundred other significant arrays, but can't compare to the Liangyi Heavenly Heart Array set up by a great power in the array path."
He explained, "Does Your Highness know that the Liangyi Heavenly Heart Array itself comprises a hundred and eight perfectly integrated grand formations? As the core array of the Shangqing Sect's grand formation, it's comprehensive in defense, detection, trapping enemies, offense, spirit gathering... in all aspects. Even a proof of Dao existence would expend enormous effort to break it."
Lin Yue was taken aback.
His master had indeed sent him a grand gift.
"Among all the residences in Di Hong City, only a handful have residence arrays at such a level." Duke Heng remarked.
"Is it so difficult to invite a great power in the array path?" Lin Yue asked in confusion.
"It's more than difficult." Duke Heng shook his head, "The status of array masters is already extremely high, given their scarcity. Princes have to engage with them courteously, and as for an array path great power like Immortal Bi Xu..."
