Chapter 415: Array Sneak Attack!

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Array Sneak Attack!

Zhu Fei quietly left the Flowing Cloud Sect and went straight to the headquarters of the Qianzhuang Commerce Association.

Inside the headquarters of the Qianzhuang Commerce Association, there was a raucous scene of song and dance.

The three Xiahou brothers sat at the head of the hall, each with a beautiful female cultivator by their side.

Below them, President Feng and President Cao of the Qianzhuang Commerce Association were also seated among them.

They wore obsequious smiles on their faces and continually ordered their servants to present dish after dish of delicious food and Spiritual Wine.

"President Feng, have you received any news of that boy recently?"

At that moment, Xiahou Cheng, who had been flirting with the female cultivator beside him, suddenly seemed to think of something and squinted his eyes towards President Feng.

President Feng was startled.

After pondering for a while, he finally replied with a wry smile, shaking his head, "Elder Cheng, recently, we haven’t received any news about Zhu Fei..."

"Hmph! Incompetent!"

Before President Feng could finish speaking, Xiahou Cheng’s expression suddenly changed, and he slammed the table and chairs in front of him in anger, "I ask you, how exactly do you people handle affairs? It’s been so long, and there’s still not a single piece of news about that boy; could it be that you are neglecting the Xiahou family?"

Xiahou Cheng’s sudden outburst instantly quieted the previously noisy hall.

Immediately, both Presidents Feng and Cao knelt on the ground, their faces pale, eyes filled with fear, as they pleaded, "Please forgive us, Elder Cheng. It’s not that our Qianzhuang Commerce Association is unwilling to make an effort, but Zhu Fei is extremely cunning. He has yet to appear in Beiyun City, so we have no clues to begin with."

"Oh, so is it that I, Xiahou Cheng, am the one being unreasonable?"

Xiahou Cheng’s eyes narrowed again.

He looked at the terrified faces of Presidents Feng and Cao, but his heart was filled with pleasure and satisfaction.

He hadn’t tasted the feeling of holding someone’s life in his hands, with a single word able to make people kneel and beg, for a very long time.

Even though he was a cultivator at the Golden Core First Level and held the status of an elder in the family, his nearly two-hundred-year-old high age, coupled with his mediocre talents, meant that he had no say within the Xiahou family.

However, now that he had been sent to this small place, Beiyun City, his status and powers had inflated dramatically.

As he enjoyed this feeling, deep down he was entranced by it.

Thus, he decided that in the process of capturing Zhu Fei, he had to achieve substantial merit.

In this way, once this affair was over, he could use it to gain a real position within the family, and even becoming the ruler of a province was not out of the question.

Thinking this, Xiahou Cheng felt even more eager.

He stared intently at Presidents Feng and Cao, a cold smile spreading across his lips.

"The two of you, since that boy has not appeared in Beiyun City, can’t you think of a way to make him appear there? For example, when you took me to find trouble with the Yun family, that was a good strategy."

"Elder Cheng, do you mean...?"

President Feng’s eyes brightened slightly, asking tentatively.

"Hmph! Since you know, why bother asking more?" Xiahou Cheng replied with slight dissatisfaction.

"Please forgive us, Elder Cheng. But if we wish to target the Yun family again, I’m afraid the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Taixuan Sect would..."

"Imbecile! Do I have to teach you such trivial matters myself? Can’t you come up with an excuse? Saying I invited her for a meal or to be a guest— with me here, are you afraid to act?"

Xiahou Cheng’s expression increasingly turned ferocious.

He glared at President Feng and President Cao, his dissatisfaction reaching its peak.

President Feng and President Cao were so frightened that they shivered and immediately nodded their heads, daring not to raise any objections.

Just then, Xiahou Cheng, who had been showing his displeasure, suddenly furrowed his brows, his eyes beginning to show a hint of suspicion.

Because just a moment ago, he faintly sensed some Array fluctuations.

But when he tried to sense it carefully again, the vague fluctuations of the Array vanished, instantly putting him on alert.

His extensive battle experience told him that the anomaly he had sensed was not accidental but likely indicated that something was about to happen.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Sure enough, just as the thought emerged in Xiahou Cheng’s mind.

Three invisible sword beams suddenly appeared within the entire banquet hall, swiftly targeting the three Xiahou brothers!

"Look out! Brothers, get out of the way!"

Xiahou Cheng’s pupils constricted suddenly, and he let out a loud shout as he brandished a purple halberd.

A "clang" rang out as the halberd collided with the sword beams, immediately unleashing an exceedingly powerful residual energy wave!

In that instant, wine cups and teacups were shattered by the energy’s aftermath, and even the female Cultivator beside him didn’t escape the disaster— her entire body was instantly turned into a mist of blood under the force of the blast, leaving not even bones behind!

Such a ferocious and potent surprise attack caused Xiahou Cheng’s heart to suddenly sink.

Before he could recover, he made a horrifying discovery.

A figure, ghost-like, clutching the Blue Treasure Sword, was hurtling towards his two brothers, Xiahou Jie and Xiahou Li!

"Puchi! Puchi!"

The sound of flesh being pierced echoed.

Xiahou Jie and Xiahou Li, as if they were clay statues, faced the surprise attack of the phantom-like figure— without even a hint of resistance, their heads were directly pierced by the sword!

"You’re courting death!"

Xiahou Cheng saw his two brothers suddenly slain, and his teeth almost cracked from rage!

He roared in fury, and just as he was about to attack, he suddenly felt his body become as heavy as mountains, making it impossible for him to move even slightly!

"It’s... a Level 4 Trapping Array!"

Xiahou Cheng felt his mind explode as fear rapidly took hold of his heart.

He never imagined that he and the others would be ambushed with an Array without any warning at this gathering, especially one centered around a Level 4 Trapping Array in a Chain Formation!

His face turned pale, his body continuously retreating backward as he trembled and spoke, "You... just who are you? Why are you targeting the Xiahou family? Do you understand the consequences of your actions?"

"Shh—"

Upon hearing Xiahou Cheng’s words, the intruder let out a disdainful sneer.

He didn’t immediately answer Xiahou Cheng’s question but instead turned his mocking gaze towards the shocked Presidents Feng and Cao.

"Hehe, President Feng, President Cao, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. Since this esteemed member of the Xiahou family wants to know my identity, perhaps you two would introduce me?"
