How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 431: 431: Counter-Binding Array Sect

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Counter-Binding Array Sect

Ye Gui merely asked a seemingly casual question.

The place erupted completely.

A young member of the Huang Clan suddenly stood up: “Do you unwillingly refuse to provide an Array Crystal Pillar by casually sending someone to fob us off?”

“Exactly!” Another person stood up: “Using an inexperienced, worthless brat to impersonate an Array Master, dreaming of gaining profit without resources, the Li Clan really played a clever move.”

This person had notably long ears, clearly a member of the Long Ear Clan.

Long Ear Clan members were the most well-informed.

Their Young Clan Chief suffered a huge loss on Li Shen Mountain, humiliated by a young member of the Li Tian Clan, and the marriage alliance fell through, which the Long Ear Clan considered a great disgrace; whenever they faced the Li Clan or the Li Tian Clan, they were in complete agreement: if suppression was possible, they would suppress them to death!

With these two leading the rhythm, the atmosphere of the entire place shifted accordingly.

Everyone thought there was a problem with this.

In the Abyssal Grand Plan, some provide manpower, some provide strength, and some provide resources; this was a consensus among the clans.

Lately, the allocation of resources had become heavier, and each clan had their own calculations. The Li Clan set this precedent, casually finding someone to impersonate an Array Master. If this trend wasn’t curbed, would future clans not follow the lead?

Who would willingly provide resources then?

Finding someone was so easy, wasn’t it?

In the depths beneath, not to mention people with two legs, even those with eight legs were easy to find…

On the high platform, Lin Xiaosu faced Ye Gui’s pointed question with a faint smile: “Elder Ye, do you think that age necessarily correlates with array mastery?”

Ye Gui also laughed, his laughter was sharp and piercing: “Young man, did your elders never tell you that the Array is vast and profound, requiring a hundred years of hard work to master?”

This was the fundamental reason he asked Lin Xiaosu about his age.

Because it involved the laws of the Array.

The Array is vast and profound, without deep foundation and long-term research, it’s impossible to become an Array Master.

Lin Xiaosu was only 24, how could he be an Array Master?

Lin Xiaosu said: “Did your mentor ever tell you one thing, elder: ‘In the world of geniuses, time is meaningless!'”

Ye Gui’s pupils suddenly contracted.

On the high platform, it seemed like dark clouds were gathering.

The crowd erupted again below.

“Arrogant brat, how dare you show such disrespect in front of an elder?”

“Ignorant fool, do you know who you’re facing?”

“Kill him, to uphold the Abyssal rules!”

For a moment, the crowd was in a collective outrage…

Perhaps only two people, their eyes shining infinitely…

Li Xueyi held her chest with both hands; for the first time in her life, she felt like a fangirl.

In the world of geniuses, time is meaningless!

This was the only phrase that came out of his mouth that was overwhelmingly dominant!

He, at last, displayed his brilliance before the heroes of the Bridge Realm!

Previously, even when he waved his hand to disperse the clouds and extinguish the Huang Clan, he had never shown such brilliance.

She really liked him today…

Whispers came from Jiao’er: “Miss, don’t you think the master looks so impressive?”

“Hahaha…” Suddenly, on the other side of the high platform, as if a curtain was drawn, an Array Platform appeared before the crowd.

On the Array Platform, a middle-aged Xu Clan member with fleshy sideburns lifted his hand, pointing directly at Lin Xiaosu’s nose: “What a fool who doesn’t know the vastness of the heavens and the earth, come over, as long as you can take half a step onto this Array Platform of mine, I will acknowledge you as an Array Master; if not, I will kill you!”

Lin Xiaosu didn’t even look at him; he looked at Ye Gui: “Elder Ye, is this considered a test?”

“Yes!” Ye Gui’s voice was like ice hitting the ground; he was still seething with anger over Lin Xiaosu’s previous disrespect, this kid who dared to say in front of him: did your elder ever tell you…

This, to him, a giant of the Fourth Realm, how could he endure?

He must suppress your arrogant arrogance!

“Alright then!” Lin Xiaosu turned around and stepped towards the Array Platform: “Activate the array!”

The Xu Clan’s Array Master raised his hand, and a bronze array pen appeared in his palm.

He drew a stroke, pointing at a disk in front of him.

The Array Platform suddenly underwent a transformation.

An incredible transformation…

At the edge of the Array Platform, lotus blossoms bloomed, each one emanating endless killing intent.

As soon as this formation was set, exclamations erupted below.

“The Thousand Lotus Killing Array! This is Master Xu’s unique killing array.”

“Yes, even a Fourth Realm Grandmaster claims that Master Xu’s Thousand Lotus Killing Array, created by integrating the three ancient strange arrays, has hidden hints of breaking through the Third Realm into the Fourth Realm.”

“Oh my God, a half-step Fourth Realm killing array, used to test a young man? Isn’t this going too far?”

“Who’s to blame for this kid being too arrogant? Who does he think he is, daring to be so audacious in the Abyssal?”

“Exactly, what is the Abyssal? All the top Array Masters in the Bridge Realm are here, and he dares to say that in the world of geniuses, time is meaningless, isn’t this like pointing at the noses of those old masters, calling them old and useless?”

Amidst the discussions, Li Xueyi and Jiao’er were both nervous.

They had indeed witnessed Lin Xiaosu’s display of array skills before; he had repaired the Warm Array left by Li Qing.

The technique was indeed mysterious, but they had no idea to what extent his array mastery had reached.

But regardless, the words of the people around still made their hearts pound.

Because the terms Third Realm and Fourth Realm were incredibly terrifying.

Array Path, like the Cultivation Path, was also divided by realms.

The Array Path is unique, rare and precious.

As long as someone was involved in array formation, they were celebrated in the complex lands of Bridge Realm.

A Third Realm Array Master was of grandmaster level, receiving VIP treatment in every major clan.

And reaching the Fourth Realm, one could sit and discuss matters with the leaders of major clans.

This Xu Clan Array Grandmaster, named Xumi.

He was also renowned in the Bridge Realm.

Claimed to be the best below the Fourth Realm, he was thus the array examiner in the Abyssal.

Encountering such a roadblock at the Abyssal, could Jiao’er’s master-in-law, Xueyi’s husband, overcome this high peak? To gain the Abyssal’s recognition?

The two women were very nervous, yet Lin Xiaosu showed no sign of nervousness…

He stepped towards the Array Platform.

The lotus blossoms on the platform flashed with killing intent, his hair gently swaying in the wind.

Step by step, he moved closer to the pulsing killing intent…

His footsteps surprisingly showed no change.

He remained steady and unhurried.

Xumi on the Array Platform stared at him coldly.

In the next step, he would touch this layer of killing intent…

Suddenly, the Array Pen in Xumi’s hand flickered!

The Lotus Killing intent, which was a foot away from Lin Xiaosu, suddenly shot out like flames, aiming at the space where Lin Xiaosu stood…

Li Feiyang’s expression changed sharply: “Be careful…”

As soon as the words were spoken!

Lin Xiaosu’s hand rose!

A bronze Array Pen pointed into the void!

With a faint hiss, the murderous Lotus in the form of a fire dragon spurting from the valley split into two sides, centering on him.

Lin Xiaosu stepped across and stood on the Array Platform.

The murderous Lotus’s intent still flickered around, but it was already behind him.

On the high platform, Ye Gui’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Below the high platform, there was a dead silence.

Had he passed a Half-step Fourth Realms Thousand Lotus Killing Array that easily?

Xumi’s eyes widened, looking at Lin Xiaosu standing in front of him, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Lin Xiaosu said, “The Thousand Lotus Killing Array, actually has another change!”

Xumi responded blankly, “What?”

Lin Xiaosu said, “Transform outside killing to inside killing! Try it yourself!”

With a stroke of his bronze pen, like dividing yin and yang.

The Array Platform suddenly changed, the outward sputtering Thousand Lotus Killing intent abruptly turned, aiming at the Array Platform!

Aiming at Xumi on the Array Platform.

Xumi’s face changed dramatically, his left hand spun up a bronze Array Plate while his right hand pointed fiercely with a bronze Array Pen.

Pfft!

The Array Plate shattered.

Rip!

The Array Pen broke.

The next moment, the Array Path’s killing intent hit Xumi’s body directly, his whole body shuddered, the fleshy tendrils extended rapidly, the Array Path’s killing intent covered his entire body, turning each fleshy tendril into a blood mist.

His heart was already icy cold, his life hanging by a thread.

Lin Xiaosu’s hand lifted, the bronze Array Pen pointed at the Array Platform in front of him.

The Array Path’s killing intent vanished in an instant.

Xumi was bathed in blood, like a fierce ghost who had made a round trip through the gates of hell and came back out.

A look of confusion and endless terror.

“Xumi, I’ll spare your life, but take this as a warning!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Don’t speak recklessly without truly understanding your opponent!”

He stepped off the Array Platform.

The entire audience erupted…

“What is this called? A reverse kill?” someone shouted.

“A reverse kill in the blink of an eye, against a Half-step Fourth Realms? He is a Four Realms Array Master!”

“How is this possible? There are only seventeen Four Realms Array Masters in the entire Bridge Realm, all in the Inner Layer Space…”

“The truth is right in front of us, so we have to believe there are eighteen Four Realms Array Masters in the Bridge Realm…”

In the crowd, Li Xueyi stared blankly at the high platform, Jiao’er jumping beside her, seemingly unnoticed.

Her mind was a chaotic mess.

Oh my God, a Four Realms Array Master?

Is he truly a significant figure comparable to my father?

How could this be?

I liked him not for his status or position, but because I liked his face, I just wanted to have a child with him, to see the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the thriving of grass and the singing of orioles in that world my brother is obsessed with, to experience the apricot blossom rain he spoke of, to feel the poetic breeze through the willow trees.

But he stood before me like this, proving his mastery in the Array Path in a super explosive way!

Suddenly, the high platform slowly lit up.

Like the sky lighting up with more than ten night lamps, or like the vast galaxy where more than ten stars were shining.

Lin Xiaosu raised his gaze, staring upward.

Everyone’s eyes converged upward.

The high platform was originally a tree.

There were branches on the tree.

More than ten leaves on a main branch lit up.

Each leaf seemed to be a piece of the starry sky.

Inside each leaf, there was a person.

All dressed as Array Masters.

Four Realms Array Masters, projecting with Arrays, collectively making an appearance.

“Reverse yin and yang, Qiankun Breaking Array Hand?” a voice came from one of the leaves.

This was a figure whose face was unclear, resembling a celestial Immortal Elder, his voice low and penetrating.

“Elder, you have a keen eye!” Lin Xiaosu slightly bowed.

“Young man, who taught you?” Another person spoke, leaning against a big tree, pointing lazily at Lin Xiaosu below.

Li Feiyang immediately locked eyes, a thread of voice entered Lin Xiaosu’s ear: “Yin Xuan!”

Yin Xuan!

The Array Master of the Yin Clan, specifically mentioned by his mother before she left.

Because the blood of the Yin Clan is black, their main style of action is “Yin”, tricking enemies, betraying friends, and when ruthless, even themselves.

Lin Xiaosu replied calmly, “Elder, have I ever asked who your teacher was?”

Yin Xuan’s gaze turned cold, “What do you mean?”

“I mean, at the breaking of the Abyssal, the capable one comes first, I don’t ask your teacher, you don’t need to ask mine!”

“Such a rude, ignorant, mentor-less and respect-less brat!” Yin Xuan said coldly, “Old Ghost Ye, I disagree with this child’s entry into the Abyssal!”
