Chapter 409: Chapter 89: Array Killing [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

As the change happened abruptly, the guests from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Sect were still seated calmly in the hall.

Jiang Shenting unfurled the big sail, and a storm suddenly raged around him. Layers of whirlwind swallowed him in an instant, completely obscuring his figure beneath the formation!

The sudden change startled everyone.

However, the elders of the Thunder Rain Hall were astonished and hesitant, the majority did not move for a while. Only a few started to move and wanted to rush to the rescue, but a thunderous shout stopped them: "Hong Qiu!"

It was Castellan Huang from the Thunder Fortress, who was the only sect leader amongst the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands who came to offer his congratulations personally, thus his seat was very close to the front, far away from the entrance.

But when the incident happened, he was the first one to reach the door, shouting loudly while casting his spell, three enormous figures full of murderous aura descended from the sky!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

One was the deer-headed, scale-armored bird he had ridden yesterday.

The other one was a giant ape nearly thirty feet tall, red as fire. Its white hair draped over its head, and its fierce aura was almost murderous.

The last was an enormous python with nine agile heads! Each head had crimson vertical pupils, bizarre and terrifying.

Thistle, Zhu Yan, Xiang Liu!

Everyone present easily recognized these as the legendary beasts. They all had one thing in common; they were tamed by Huang Hanshan to be his pets.

Wasn’t their summoning too quick?

How could one bring three ferocious beasts to accompany him during a banquet?

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

But as the three monsters approached, their aura was so strong that it seemed to break through the sky! Each beast had the skill of the Seventh Realm, who dared approach recklessly?

It could be said that at this moment, Huang Hanshan alone could fight against four powerful individuals of the Seventh Realm!

Several staunch elders who supported Jiang Shenting were about to take action, but they were stopped by Huang Hanshan’s beasts. Of these elders, only one was of the Seventh Realm; the remaining three or four were at the peak of the Sixth Realm.

Honestly speaking, they weren’t even a match for Huang Hanshan alone.

They could only shout in anger, "Castellan Huang, what are you trying to do?"

"Hong Qiu is my niece, and I can’t just sit by and watch her make a fool of herself!" Huang Hanshan’s voice roared like thunder, and he shouted from outside the formation, "Hong Qiu, although your father was harmed by him, we still don’t have any evidence. Don’t be stubborn! If you stop now, I can plead with the elders of the Whale Guild for mercy on your behalf!"

There were even more elders in the Thunder Rain Hall who supported Xu Baishan, and seeing that it was Xu Hongqiu who initiated the attack, they immediately became hesitant.

As for the neutral elders, they were somewhat amazed at the moment and didn’t know whose side to take.

Although they didn’t want the new Gang Leader to be murdered in public, if they wanted to help, they would have to face Huang Hanshan and the three beasts. It seemed not worth it for Jiang Shenting?

Huang Hanshan appeared to be comforting, but his true intentions were suspicious.

There was more to doubt.

This initiation ceremony has always been arranged by Jiang Shenting’s trusted aides. They must have checked it thoroughly many times. And to set up such a formation, it would not have been possible in a day. Only someone from within the Whale Guild would have had this opportunity.

Even fewer people could have access to the Gang Leader’s tokens.

And who would bear such a bone-deep hatred for Jiang Shenting and plan for many days to kill him at the initiation ceremony?

Naturally, it would be Xu Hongqiu.

Under Jiang Shenting’s feet, the layer upon layer of formation ripples were becoming more turbulent, and the runes were like chains entwining around him, making him feel as if he were tied by ropes and unable to move!

This was the Qianyuan Immortal-binding Array composed of three hundred and sixty complex formations!

There are no more than ten people in the world who have the ability to set up such a formation, and only that one person can set it up so subtly and skillfully.

Array Immortal Dong Futu!

This man is a minister of the Lingxiao Pavilion, and he is the first Array Master in this world, who doesn’t have to bow even when seeing the Emperor.

He happens to be Xu Hongqiu’s master.

Xu Baishan was good friends with Dong Futu and had sent Xu Hongqiu to study Array Techniques with him when she was young.

And today, Dong Futu was sitting at the banquet.

He was wearing a wide robe with large sleeves. He was not tall, his head wearing a square hat, his face black, with a Van Dyke beard, and was still sitting, looking calm, and sipping his wine.

During this moment of shock, the people from various Immortal Sects followed the principle of not getting involved in a situation that does not concern them and just watched the commotion. It was like when the Battle of Shu Mountain first broke out because Lu Chengyou was fighting under the banner of the surviving Lu family, so it was regarded as an internal conflict of Shu Mountain. At that time, the cultivators from various Immortal Sects who came to watch the ceremony also did not take action until the Demon Sect, the Underworld King Sect, made its move, and then the Righteous Path rose to attack them.

Outside forces not interfering in a sect’s internal chaos is an unwritten rule in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Therefore, Huang Hanshan’s sudden actions seemed very abrupt.

Contrastingly, there was nothing abrupt about Dong Futu.

Only those who recognized the subtleties of this formation looked towards Dong Futu.

"Master Dong, this formation..." someone quietly asked.

"Hmm?" Only then did Dong Futu glance over, then nod his head, "She even learned this. Hong Qiu’s talent for formation technique really is excellent."

"..." The people around him were speechless.

Who would believe that this formation was set up by Xu Hongqiu herself?

...

Inside the Qianyuan Immortal-binding Array.

The woman who broke out was dressed in red. With snow-white skin, as beautiful as peach blossoms, holding a red gilt-decorated knife in both hands, she was imposing and murderous!

It was the well-known Miss of the Whale Guild, Xu Hongqiu.

At this time, she was still at the peak of the Fourth Realm. Risking her life to assassinate Jiang Shenting, who had just stepped into the Seventh Realm, was not an act of seeking death.

She had full confidence in the Qianyuan Immortal-binding Array set up by her master for forty-nine days.

Jiang Shenting, looking at Xu Hongqiu who was launching her attack with a knife, lowered his voice and said, "Hong Qiu! what are you doing? Your father’s affairs had nothing to do with me!"

He had expected that Xu Hongqiu might take some action, but he could never have imagined that she would attempt to assassinate him in such a way, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

What a ruthless woman.

"You can deceive others, but you can’t deceive me," Xu Hongqiu said as she passed by, "My dad told me long ago that you’re seemingly generous but ruthless at heart. If one day even he gets involved in trouble, it must be because of you, Jiang Shenting!"

Mid-conversation, she was already in front of Jiang Shenting.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom——

Jiang Shenting mustered all his strength, several blood-red dragons emerged from his body, attempting to break through the binding of tens of thousands of Qianyuan Heavenly Symbols. However, he still couldn’t break through them.

Only after he broke through to the Seventh Realm last year was he eligible to participate in the competition for the Gang Leader. Given his age, he is already considered one of the top talents. What’s more, he has been dedicatedly managing East Whale Guild for more than a decade. His time for cultivation was limited, and that he could break through the Seventh Realm sufficiently demonstrated his talent.

But after all, he was still someone who had just broker through to the Seventh Realm and stood on an unstable footing.

As Dong Futu, who is currently the Array Immortal, the array he had set can be used to kill powerful beings!

Hiss——

Xu Hongqiu’s knife plunged into Jiang Shenting’s body.

With the enhancement of the array, all her essence, energy and spirit had been elevated to a peak, and it was difficult for Jiang Shenting to move. All his cultivation was suppressed, and he was isolated from the Dao.

It was as if he had been pinned down, and all Xu Hongqiu needed to do was stabbing him, who was unable to resist.

But it was not an easy task...

The blade of Xu Hongqiu’s knife penetrated less than half an inch before it was held firm by his powerful physical body. The skin, flesh, tendons and bones of a Seventh Realm powerhouse were far superior to ordinary people. They cannot be penetrated by ordinary means.

Even if a powerhouse falls to the ground and becomes unconscious, a Fourth Realm practitioner finds it difficult to kill him.

But Xu Hongqiu was prepared for this. With her left hand holding the knife, and her right hand making a pinching gesture, she pressed it two feet down the blade.

Shush!

The scarlet golden blade suddenly radiated a strange light. Patterns emerged and began to rotate around it, bringing a sudden, murderous aura to the surrounding air.

It’s array technique again!

Jiang Shenting’s pupils shrank.

The array inscribed on Xu Hongqiu’s blade was the work of Dong Futu. Once it was activated, it greatly enhanced the power of the scarlet golden long knife, bringing with it an irresistible aura.

Jiang Shenting was only in time to shift his body sideways, changing the position the long knife had penetrated.

Hiss——

The knife slipped to his shoulder blade and stabbed in, and blood spattered.

A flash of divine light shot in Jiang Shenting’s eyes, and the blood that had gushed out suddenly flickered. Then, all the blood droplets were projected at Xu Hongqiu!

Bang——

Xu Hongqiu was sent flying by these few blood droplets, vomiting blood as she flew four or five feet away before falling down.

Although Jiang Shenting’s cultivation was tightly suppressed by the Qianyuan Immortal-binding Array, the spirituality contained in his blood was still not to be underestimated. Just a few drops of blood were enough to seriously injure Xu Hongqiu.

This was the insurmountable gap in realm.

Jiang Shenting’s encounter today can be said to be his competition with the powerful array caster, although he temporarily fell behind. But Xu Hongqiu can only be considered a pawn on the chessboard. It is still very difficult to rely on her to kill the enemy personally.

But she didn’t give up, instead she got up, and the long knife was still on Jiang Shenting’s shoulder. The Array light emenated from her feet, and in a flash, she was again at Jiang Shenting’s side.

It wasn’t her speed that had increased. It seemed as if the time around her had slowed down?

The array under her feet changed the flow of time, and with a firm grip on the hilt, she didn’t pull out the knife, instead, she gritted her teeth and made a horizontal cut.

It seemed she wanted to behead this nemesis!

...

Easier said than done.

The whole scene just happened in a flash, from the sudden appearance of the large array to Xu Hongqiu’s knife attack, taking place in just a couple of breaths.

The elders of the Whale Guild had already reacted and crowded around.

If the gang leader was indeed assassinated on the day he took office, where would the face of the Four Seas Whale Guild be left?

Among the crowd, a senior elder shouted, "Castellan Huang, if you continue to block the way, it is equivalent to declaring war on our Whale Guild!"

After all, this was a matter of the Whale Guild. Representing Thunder Fortress, even if Huang Hanshan was shameless, he couldn’t continue to block them anymore.

"Huh, I am obviously helping." Huang Hanshan slowly withdrew, "A donkey’s liver and lungs can’t recognize kindness."

His words also sparked whispers among the crowd, who was he helping was indeed a question.

However, given his identity, like Dong Futu and other elders, he couldn’t do much more to help. Xu Hongqiu had to execute the action herself.

Just as he let the way open, another surprise happened.

A loud laugh from mid-air was heard. A man with crimson hair suddenly fell from the sky. He landed alone, waving his hand to create a cloud of blood fog!

Bang——

The blood fog exploded like a thunderbolt, rapidly spreading to every corner of the hall.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and the elders of the Whale Guild in the hall were all engulfed in the fog, with the vision of Asura engulfing their sights!

Sitting quietly on the side, Jiang Yuebai, feeling this aura, suddenly frowned.

"Witch God Essence Blood?"

Yes, the aura in this blood fog was so familiar. It was exactly the same as the Witch God Essence Blood that she and Chu Liang had obtained from the Shen family’s abandoned garden!
