Chapter 40 You Guys Are So Fast

“This is way too fast…”

Feng Xia was stunned at first, then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Although a Primal Core Realm cultivator was powerful, the capital of Xuanwu Kingdom was not even close to the Thousand Autumn Valley. Even if a Primal Core Realm cultivator traveled at full speed, it would still take a fairly long time.

How much time had transpired since he destroyed the other party’s scheme, the current Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley came out of seclusion, and then the array formation sealed the world?

“I don’t think it’s the Primal Core Realm cultivator who came personally. There’s no need for him to use such a method. This array… is probably set up at Mount Canglan by the royal family.”

Feng Xia made a quick preliminary judgment.

Based on the various information he had, the Primal Core Realm cultivator from the Xuanwu Kingdom’s royal family usually guarded the royal city and oversaw the overall situation of the country. Unless there were special circumstances, he never left the royal city frivolously.

Once this person moved, it meant that the outcome was already decided!

“Even without that Primal Core Realm cultivator, the royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom is also very powerful.”

Even though he was almost certain that he would eventually become enemies with the royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom, Feng Xia still sighed. “I think these arrays outside the Thousand Autumn Valley were not set up recently. I wonder how long the royal family has been preparing for this day…”

At the end of the day, the Thousand Autumn Valley was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

In the heydays of the Thousand Autumn Valley, the huge mountain range of Mount Canglan was only a corner of the main gate. As time passed, the main gate of the current Thousand Autumn Valley only occupied a corner of Mount Canglan.

Outside the main gate of the Thousand Autumn Valley, they had secretly set up array formations which could be activated at the critical moment. They sealed and locked the sky and the earth, turning this once important holy land into a sitting duck!

“The only question is … What is the real purpose of the royal family?”.

Hearing Feng Xia muttering to himself, Zhu Youniang tilted her head and looked at him. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders as her body formed a soft C shape.

“The real purpose? Is there a false purpose?”

“It seems to me that there ought to be a real target at least.” Feng Xia took several seconds to admire how she looked, then frowned thoughtfully. “If the royal family is only after the eight small spiritual light bells, then there’s no need for them to set up those arrays.”

After all, if Feng Xia had not discovered it, that Primal Core Realm cultivator would have succeeded in his plan sooner or later. At that time, it would have been effortless to destroy the Thousand Autumn Valley.

Not that I’m picking on anyone, but everyone in the Thousand Autumn Valley is really trash.jpg

If it was not for the eight small spiritual light bells, then what other treasure was there in the entire Thousand Autumn Valley that could make the royal family go to such lengths?

It did not take a genius to know that the array outside the Thousand Autumn Valley that had locked the sky and earth was definitely not set up in two or three days. There must have been a huge price paid for it.

Why would the royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom spend so much effort just to force an outdated sect to die off completely?

“However, the Thousand Autumn Valley is already in such a state. Even the Sect Master is prepared to risk his life. If there are still any treasures, they would not still keep them hidden…”

After a while, Feng Xia finally gave up thinking

Other than that, he had discovered a sad fact. He really was not much of a thinker after all, and he was not the kind who could reconstruct the truth of the matter just by investigating the details.

He was more inclined to slap any interference aside and let the truth move on its own … oh, let the truth come to the surface naturally …

“Come, let’s go and see who’s here.”

Thinking of this, Feng Xia waved his hand and left with Zhu Youniang.

The five-colored array that suddenly appeared suppressed the spiritual energy and locked down this part of the world.

If the seven rings of the bell earlier were like a small stone thrown into the lake, then at this moment, it was undoubtedly a mountain falling from the sky, almost filling the entire lake!

With a rumble, the world collapsed!

“Oh heavens, what on earth happened”

“Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. This is the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation. Who sealed off the Thousand Autumn Valley?”.

“Has our enemies invaded the Thousand Autumn Valley!”

For a moment, all kinds of exclamations rose and fell. Some disciples could even recognize the array outside the main gate and could not help but feel stunned and enveloped by indescribable fear.

This person even used the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation. It was obvious that he had ill intentions!

Lei Shao, who was sending Bai Canghai off, immediately twitched his face and said in disbelief, “Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation? What exactly happened? Why did the Five Elements Sect suddenly attack our sect?”

The Thousand Autumn Valley was not the only sect in the Mount Canglan area.

In fact, ever since the decline of the previously most important holy land, the Xuanwu Kingdom’s royal family had become stronger and more imposing. In order to avoid them, most of the sects and factions chose to move to Mount Canglan, which was far away from the royal city.

The Five Elements Sect was one of them.

“Master, don’t expect too much from the Five Elements Sect.”

At the side, Bai Canghai was stunned. Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Although the Five Elements Sect is a nominal ally of the Thousand Autumn Valley, everyone knows that they have long sided with the royal family completely and have become the loyal minions of the royal family.”

“Of course I know that. It’s just that back then…” Lei Shao’s face trembled as he whispered hoarsely, “The royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom had wanted to destroy the Five Elements Sect. In the end, it was our ancestors who blocked that calamity for the Five Elements Sect…”

“But that was when we were once the most important holy land. Now the Thousand Autumn Valley can’t even protect itself.”

At this point, Bai Canghai suddenly raised his hand and threw his traveling bag to the side. His chest heaved and he could not help but laugh out loud. “I originally wanted to leave the sect and find a way to revive the Thousand Autumn Valley alone. Unfortunately, now… it seems like I can’t leave.”

“My disciple, do you blame me?”

Lei Shao suddenly took a deep breath and stared at Bai Canghai. “If only I hadn’t been injured and if only I had been a little stronger. With your aptitude, you could have obtained far more than what you have now…”

“If not for Master, I might have starved to death in that famine.”

Bai Canghai did not say anything. Instead, he slowly raised the sword in his hand.

Lei Shao was silent.

Then he laughed out loudly.

“In that case! Let’s go and meet the Five Elements Sect! We have to let these dogs know that even if the Thousand Autumn Valley has lost its standing, we’re not someone they can bully—”

“It looks like the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation.”

At the edge of the huge light cage, Feng Xia appeared silently with Zhu Youniang.

Looking at the wall of light flowing with five colors, Feng Xia raised his hand and punched it. Then his brows furrowed. “This intensity… doesn’t look like it can be broken even with violent strength.”

He also discovered a problem with himself. His true cultivation level was still too low!

Given his attribute superpower, he could use his soul divine power and even perfected the Sword-Heart. He could even be said to be invincible when facing enemies.

However, when the enemy was not human…

He suddenly realized that he did not have any means at all!

The Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation was not human. Without a soul, the soul divine power was useless. His perfected Sword-Heart reflected the heart, and the sword intent was unparalleled. However, what heart did a formation have?

“Eh? Someone actually dares to come here?”

As Feng Xia was pondering, a slightly surprised voice came from the other side of the wall of light. “Not bad, not bad. I didn’t expect anyone in the Thousand Autumn Valley to have guts!”

“Unfortunately for you, this Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation took 30 years to prepare. Even a Dao Platform Realm cultivator will find it difficult to break through it easily. Even if you want to break through from this

end…”

“Hey, Xia.”

Suddenly, Zhu Youniang stood on tiptoe and whispered in Feng Xia’s ear.
