Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Frenzied Clown

Lin Rong’s face flushed with excitement, his mind suddenly becoming fervent.

Before Qu Duo arrived, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill Jing Yan, but that he lacked the strength and confidence. Now, naturally, things were different.

"Don’t rush, killing Jing Yan requires some strategy," Qu Duo said, seemingly not as agitated as Lin Rong. He was deep and cunning, rarely showing his emotions.

Having been expelled from the Splendid Dojo by Jing Yan, Qu Duo harbored immense resentment towards him, wishing he could kill Jing Yan on the spot. However, he also knew that with his own strength, confronting Jing Yan at the Splendid Dojo was simply suicidal.

Now that Jing Yan had come to East Gate County, it presented a rare opportunity.

Moreover, since he was associated with the Gu Family, killing Jing Yan would be greatly beneficial for him.

"Lord Qu Duo, I will take control of the city’s Guardian Array and fully cooperate with you," Lin Rong said.

"That’s still not enough. I need you to lure that Jing Yan into Prince Manor. Then, with the power of both the manor and city’s arrays, we can kill Jing Yan," Qu Duo shook his head.

Just the city’s Guardian Array alone, he deemed unreliable.

East Gate County was an ancient commandery with numerous arrays. Inside Prince Manor, several High Level Arrays were also in place.

With so many arrays at their disposal, Jing Yan, no matter how strong, would certainly die here.

"Lure Jing Yan here?" Lin Rong was taken aback.

How to lure him?

If he were to provoke Jing Yan in person, a mere swing of Jing Yan’s sword in retaliation would likely end him.

"Prince Lin Rong, just shout Jing Yan’s name loudly from within the Prince Manor. That young man is proud; insult him a few times, and he will surely lose his temper and storm in recklessly. Once he enters the range of the Prince Manor, trigger the manor’s Big Array. Leave the rest to me!" Qu Duo looked down on Lin Rong disdainfully, seeing that he was too scared to venture out.

However, he never planned to sacrifice Lin Rong’s life. After all, Lin Rong was a good "dog" raised by the Gu Family, and it would be a pity to let him die for nothing.

Hearing Qu Duo’s words, Lin Rong felt reassured.

"Lord Qu Duo, don’t worry! Leave this little task to me!" Lin Rong said, thumping his chest.

Within the city!

"What’s going on?"

"It seems like the city’s Big Array has been activated! Did something happen? Did someone forcefully enter East Gate County?"

"The array has indeed been activated. Such strong energy fluctuations. I wonder who broke in, necessitating the use of the Guardian Array."

"Yes... I’ve been in East Gate County for two hundred years, and this is only the second time I’ve seen the Guardian Array activated!"

Once the city’s Big Array was triggered, the city’s martial artists could feel the energy fluctuations. And when the array was initially activated, the entire sky flickered with blue light, making even ordinary people aware that the city’s Big Array had been activated.

As one of the eight counties controlled by the Gu Family, virtually no one dared to cause trouble in East Gate County. Thus, when the Guardian Array was activated, the first reaction of the martial artists was surprise, and many were excited.

Jing Yan and Jing Lunnan also stopped flying.

"So the city’s Big Array really has been activated!"

"The Dao King of East Gate County is not lacking in guts. Using the Guardian Array to trap me, calling the Gu Family people to deal with me?" Jing Yan laughed lightly.

If the Guardian Array of East Gate County had not been activated, Jing Yan had planned to just take his father and leave. However, this idea wasn’t absolute; otherwise, Jing Yan’s speed would have been faster. Subconsciously, he also wanted to cause a scene in East Gate County, so he deliberately slowed down a bit, waiting for the response from the county.

If there were any practitioners of the Dao Emperor Realm from the Gu Family hidden within the city, once they appeared, he could conveniently kill them.

"Jing Yan, you thief, still thinking of escaping?"

"Ha ha ha... Let me tell you, you’re already trapped like a turtle in a jar. There’s no escape. Daring to come to my East Gate County is like refusing the road to heaven and crashing through the gates of hell. Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving alive. East Gate County is not a place you can just come and go as you please."

"You little bastard! Your grandfather, Prince Lin Rong of East Gate County, is waiting for you inside the Prince Manor. If you dare, come and find me!"

Just as Jing Yan turned, releasing his Divine Soul to sense any nearby Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners, a string of curses reached him.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort from Jing Yan, the sound echoed throughout the city.

"Father, I have a Mobile Space Small World attached to me. You wait inside for a bit! It’s not every day we get this chance, leaving just like that – some people won’t agree," Jing Yan told Jing Lunnan.

By having his father Jing Lunnan enter the Qiankun Small World, Jing Yan could focus entirely. Otherwise, given Jing Lunnan’s Dao King Realm cultivation, Jing Yan would inevitably be worried.

"A Mobile Space World?"

"Jing Yan, the one you mentioned, is it the Qiankun Ring space?" Jing Lunnan’s eyes suddenly brightened.

The Qiankun Ring was initially obtained by him from within the Death Abyss; he certainly knew about its existence.

Jing Lunnan had passed the Qiankun Ring onto his father, which was Jing Yan’s grandfather, Jing Tian. Now, listening to Jing Yan, it seemed that the Qiankun Ring had come into Jing Yan’s possession, and he had even unlocked its seal.

"Indeed, it is the Qiankun Ring," Jing Yan nodded. "Father, don’t resist, I’ll send you into the Qiankun Small World."

As Jing Yan spoke, with a thought of his Divine Thought, an invisible energy covered Jing Lunnan.

Jing Lunnan felt this energy fluctuation, didn’t resist, and in the next moment, vanished from Jing Yan’s sight.

"Is this the Qiankun Ring space?"

"It really does seem like a world!" After entering the Qiankun Small World, Jing Lunnan looked around the space, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"I understand now, no wonder Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Cultivation has reached the Dao Emperor Realm in just over thirty years. It must certainly be related to the legacy of this Qiankun Ring..." Jing Lunnan excitedly muttered.

"Hmm?" Jing Lunnan suddenly tensed.

For he saw a figure appearing in front of him, and it wasn’t Jing Yan.

Their eyes met—staring at each other!

Naturally, what Jing Lunnan saw was the residual soul of Tianshui.

Outside the Qiankun Small World, Jing Yan’s eyes shifted, his Primordial Energy flowing, his figure swiftly flying to the sky above Prince Manor.

"Here he comes!"

"Lord Qu Duo, this kid must be Jing Yan, right? He’s already arrived!" Lin Rong kept his eyes on the sky, and upon seeing Jing Yan’s cyan figure appear, he immediately whispered repeatedly.

While Qu Duo remained hidden in the dark, he was still fearful that Jing Yan might notice him and choose not to enter Prince Manor.

Little did he know, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul had already covered the entire Prince Manor, and he had also noticed Qu Duo.

"This old guy is also here! It seems, this Prince Lin Rong has his confidence rooted in Qu Duo," Jing Yan’s mouth twitched.

"Jing Yan, you little brat, if you’re brave enough, come inside. Aren’t you very strong? Or perhaps, are you afraid of the formations in my Prince Manor?" Lin Rong continued to provoke Jing Yan like a buffoon, deliberately trying to infuriate him.
