It was obviously impossible to snatch the Tensho Compass.

Although the vessel spirit of the Tensho Compass had not reached divinity, it was definitely a first-class combat strength below divinity. Moreover, the Overseer of the Divination Division was definitely at the level of Zhuo Yunong and Lord Wu Yue. Unless it was Wuma Jiuxing, who would dare to attack him?

The Fane of Destiny must have sent countless powerhouses to escort the Overseer and the Tensho Compass. Even if Wuma Jiuxing wasn’t injured, he probably wouldn’t dare to snatch the Divine Artifact.

Guye Jing suggested that Zhang Ruochen put the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin with her for the time being. Then, he would come out and tell the major forces the truth. With his current status, no one dared to attack him openly. Besides, with the gods’ protection, who would dare to attack him before they were absolutely sure?

Zhang Ruochen directly rejected her proposal.

Should he give her the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?

Not a chance, they were not that close.

Besides, she suspected that a god had come to Hoth. How could Zhang Ruochen dare to show his face?

Guye Jing left with resentments!

She was still like a bullied little wife when she left, saying that Zhang Ruochen did not trust her.

Zhang Ruochen did not ask her to stay.

Since Guye Jing knew that he had the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, she would certainly help him in secret.

“Is it really a dead end? I can only force my way out if I can’t,” said Zhang Ruochen.

......

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes turned cold. As long as the Intergold Tiger was willing to help and Blackie’s attainments in the array, it would not be difficult to break through the defense array of Enchanton.

As long as he left the city, his chances of escaping would increase significantly with his Power of Dimension and Time.

However, if he did that, not only would he become the target of public criticism, but the Xue Jue family would also be pushed into the limelight.

This was the last resort!

Moreover, as long as the Tensho Compass was still there, the Fane of Destiny would definitely chase him wherever he ran. Thinking of being chased by a group of top Supreme Saints and possibly even gods, Zhang Ruochen’s scalp went numb.

“Xunmu, come to the third meeting hall immediately.” Gu Yanzhi’s voice reached Zhang Ruochen’s ears.

Zhang Ruochen immediately changed into a black robe and transformed into Master Xunmu’s skinny appearance. He picked up the Staff of the Divine Envoy and headed to the meeting hall.

The third meeting hall was built underground and covered with many inscriptions of an array. It was a place for discussing important secret matters and was not usually open to the public.

When Zhang Ruochen arrived, hundreds of spiritual-power Saint Master had gathered outside the stone door of the meeting hall. Many of them were spiritual-power Saint Kings above level 50.

“It’s just a House of Enchanteurs under the Enchanteur Chamber. How can it attract so many spiritual-power powerhouses?”

Zhang Ruochen was quite surprised. Of course, he did not believe that the Enchanteur Chamber could train so many spiritual-power Saint Masters. Therefore, he secretly observed and found that more than 90% of these spiritual-power Saint Masters didn’t belong to the top ten clans. They came from small clans, and some even came from the mortal world of the Celestial Court.

It was normal. Which force didn’t have defectors?

Some powerful cultivators couldn’t stay in the Celestial Court. They could live comfortably on the edge of the Infernal Court.

“The third meeting hall has been activated. It seems like something big has happened.”

“Recently, many important figures have come to Enchanton. Each and every one of them is extremely powerful. It would be strange if nothing big happened.”

“I hope there won’t be any more top-notch Supreme Saint-level battles. As far as I know, more than 300 spiritual-power Saint Master died tragically in the last battle. Countless people were injured.”

“Stop it. My injuries haven’t fully healed yet. My spirit hasn’t recovered yet.”

“I joined the Enchanteur Chamber because it was hard for my cultivation to improve. I just wanted to live happily for the last few decades. I didn’t expect that there would be so many major events these days. I don’t think it will end well.”

...

...

Listening to the discussions of the spiritual-power Saint Master, Zhang Ruochen thought to himself, ‘It seems like a good choice for a cultivator who is greedy for pleasure to join the Enchanteur Chamber. He can have a beautiful woman to accompany him, and he can also get cultivation resources without too much danger.’

“Shh! Shut up quickly. A big shot is coming!” someone said.

The group of spiritual-power Saint Master immediately shut up, adjusted their appearance, and straightened their posture.

Footsteps sounded.

A group of cultivators in white robes came underground. They passed through the crowd and walked to the stone door of the third meeting hall.

Zhang Ruochen felt a mighty spiritual power fluctuation from this group of cultivators in white robes. Each of them was extraordinary. They were definitely spiritual-power Saint Masters.

The old man walking in the front had a silver sun, moon, and star mark on his forehead. His face was slightly chubby, and his black hair fell over his shoulders. There was an evil smile in his eyes, and his aura was powerful.

The spiritual-power Saint Master standing on both sides was trembling when he walked past.

One of the spiritual-power Saint Master’s legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, making a fool of himself.

Beside the elder was Bai Qing’er’s disciple, Shang Yue.

Shang Yue was respectful toward the elder. It was clear that she was someone even a proud woman like her respected.

As for Gu Yanzhi, he could only follow at the back.

The old man glanced at the spiritual-power Saint Master kneeling on the ground. He grinned and revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth. He said, “Enchanteur Chamber is one of the top ten dark forces. Not everyone should be recruited. I will devour him first!”

The old man stretched out two withered fingers and knocked on the head of the spiritual-power saint.

Suddenly, the spiritual-power saint let out a shrill scream. His whole body twitched. The Saint Soul and spiritual power were all sucked away by the old man and sucked into his mouth.

All the spiritual-power Saint Master present were so scared that their faces turned pale.

“Uncle Duan, if you like it, Yue’er will buy you a batch of soul food right now.” Shang Yue’s voice was sweet and full of flattery. It was completely different from the viciousness when she attacked Zhang Ruochen.

“Let’s talk business first!” said Duan Lingfeng.

He smiled darkly. He waved his wide sleeved-robe and walked into the stone door.

The other Supreme Saints followed closely.

The cultivators who hadn’t reached the Supreme Saint Realm weren’t qualified to participate in the meeting. They could only wait outside.

All the spiritual-power Saint Master let out a long breath as the stone door closed. Many of them were drenched and scared.

Only after a long while did the spiritual-power Saint Masters communicate with each other through voice transmission.

“Did you see that? How powerful is the Supreme Saint Shang Yue’s cultivation? She actually had to accompany him. Just who is that old man?”

A spiritual-power Saint Master whose spiritual power was close to level 60 said, “Since Supreme Saint Shang Yue addressed that old man as Uncle-master and his surname is Duan, he is most likely that old monster who has lived for more than 20,000 years at the Enchanteur Chamber!”

“Are you talking about... Enchanteur Chamber’s Hand of the World? How could it be him? Didn’t you say he was already dead?”

“You can’t talk about such a figure. Don’t talk about him. With Senior Duan’s spiritual power attainments, we can’t hide our spiritual power from his perception.”

...

Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to release his spiritual power, but he still heard their voice transmission with the Heart of Truth.

The more he listened, the more shocked he became.

The Hand of the World?

Zhang Ruochen felt his scalp go numb. He quickly hid all his Spirits in the Heart of Truth, leaving only the 59th level of spiritual power.

The High-Saint Array Masters were divided into three levels: the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, the King of Sea and Land, and the Hand of the World.

Most of the High-Saints stayed at the Lord of Mountains and Rivers level.

Those in the King of Sea and Land level were already very rare.

On the other hand, the Hand of the World was an existence that could become a god’s guest. They could turn around the clouds and rain in a major world. They could even use their fingers to draw a ninth-grade formation instantly.

Even a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint would not be willing to make an enemy of the Hand of the World.

Even an existence that had already become a god with spiritual power might not be able to reach the level of the Hand of the World.

An hour later, Gu Yanzhi and Shang Yue walked out of the stone door.

Gu Yanzhi’s face was extremely solemn, and his hands could not help but tremble. He calmed himself down after a long while and swept his gaze over the spiritual-power Saint Master present. He said, “A major event is about to happen on Hoth, and everyone needs to participate in it.”

Everyone said in unison, “We are willing to sacrifice for the Enchanteur Chamber.”

“Everyone, there’s no need to be so nervous. It’s not a big deal,” said Shang Yue.

Shang Yue smiled and gestured to Gu Yanzhi.

Gu Yanzhi waved his sleeve, and balls of black light flew out and floated in front of him and Shang Yue.

In the black light, there were black stones of different sizes.

The stones were covered with strange patterns and emitted a divine aura.

“Every cultivator, come forward and receive a Genbu Pebble,” Gu Yanzhi said.

The spiritual-power Saint Masters were confused, but they also went forward to receive it.

The stronger the spiritual power of one, the bigger the Genbu Pebble one received.

When it was Zhang Ruochen’s turn, Gu Yanzhi chose a Genbu Pebble the size of a washbasin for him. He especially introduced him to Shang Yue. “Lady Yue, this person is called Xun Mu. He is a talented spiritual power cultivator in the Dominion of the Bloodysky Clan. He has cultivated to the 58th level by himself. Recently, he’s broken through to the 59th level with the help of the resources of the Enchanteur Chamber. His cultivation to Supreme Saint Realm is within reach.”

A spiritual-power Supreme Saint wasn’t a tiny figure in the Enchanteur Chamber. He was qualified to enter the core level.

Gu Yanzhi naturally had to mention this talent.

Shang Yue glanced at Zhang Ruochen indifferently. Her gaze seemed to penetrate and see through him. Suddenly, her gaze moved to the wooden staff in Zhang Ruochen’s hand. She exclaimed, “Your wooden staff is interesting.”

Zhang Ruochen said in a hoarse voice, “Miss Yue, you have a sharp eye. My wooden staff was crafted from a divine tree branch and tainted with the water of darkness.”

Zhang Ruochen was not afraid that Shang Yue would covet the Staff of the Divine Envoy. After all, compared to her cultivation, ordinary treasures were already difficult to see.

Shang Yue did not look at it again. Zhang Ruochen tactfully retreated.

Zhang Ruochen carefully observed the Genbu Pebble in his hand and found that it was not a stone at all. It was a shell fragment of a divine beast, Genbu.

The fragment in his hand was engraved with hundreds of thousands of inscriptions of an array. Its level was very high.

‘The shell of a divine beast, Genbu, is one of the hardest materials in the world. The inscriptions on the fragment are even more wonderful than those of ninth-class arrays. What is the Enchanteur Chamber plotting?’ Zhang Ruochen was puzzled.

After all the Array Saint Masters had received the Genbu Pebble, Shang Yue announced, “When you go back, familiarize yourselves with the inscriptions on the Genbu Pebble as quickly as possible so that you can activate it.”

A younger Array Saint Master asked, “May I ask what the function of this Genbu Pebble is? If it is for us to be familiar with it, are we going to work together to set up some arrays?”

Gu Yanzhi’s eyes darkened, and he said coldly, “It’s best not to ask questions that shouldn’t be asked.”

The Array Saint Master was stunned by Gu Yanzhi’s gaze, and he trembled for a moment, not daring to speak again.

Shang Yue’s voice was charming to the ear. She said sweetly, “Everyone will stay in the Governor’s Manor for the next two days. It’s best not to go anywhere. Don’t let any cultivator know about this matter, or else... Hehe, I hope to buy less soul food.”

The group of spiritual-power Saint Masters left the underground with fear and trepidation.

“Supreme Saint Shang Yue’s smile is so sweet and charming. Why do I feel so scared?” A spiritual-power saint muttered in a low voice with a pale face.

Zhang Ruochen examined the Governor’s Manor’s defenses and discovered that nearly all of the castle’s internal arrays had been activated.

“There’s a big operation at the Enchanteur Chamber,” said Zhang Ruochen.

If the array was set up to protect Enchanton, it would not be so strict that all spiritual-power Saint Masters were not allowed to leave the Governor’s Manor. There must be a secret operation.

Back in the yard, Zhang Ruochen pushed the door open and entered. He saw Blackie standing by the window, looking outside.

“There’s a big operation in the Enchanteur Chamber,” Blackie said with a severe look in its eyes.

Zhang Ruochen did not ask where it had been these days. Instead, he took out the basin-sized Genbu Pebble. He said, “Help me look at the inscription of an array on it. By the way, haven’t you been bragging about how amazing your array is? Now that your cultivation has recovered, have your attainments in the array also recovered?”

Blackie took the Genbu Pebble. He snorted like a peerless master, “My attainments in an array are not bragged. At this moment...Huh? How is that possible? Where did you get this Genbu shell? Who carved the inscription of an array on the turtle shell?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “A High-Saint Array Master in the level of Hand of the World!”

“Duan Lingfeng of the Enchanteur Chamber?” Blackie asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You’ve heard of his name? Why? Are you scared?”

“Scared? My Martial Arts may not be the best below divinity, but the Path of Array is nothing to a mere Hand of the World.” Blackie laughed.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You said before that you can sweep everything under divinity. It turns out that you can’t sweep away an Enchanton.”

Blackie leaned over to Zhang Ruochen’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Is Duan Lingfeng coming to the Governor’s Manor?”

“He’s in the Governor’s Manor,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Goodbye. Forget that you saw me today.”

Blackie rushed out and was ready to leave.

Zhang Ruochen said, “All the arrays in the Governor’s Manor have been activated. From now on, anyone who dares to leave will be killed.”

Blackie stopped and retreated. He closed the door again, “My cultivation has just recovered, and I don’t have the materials to refine arrays, so I can’t refine a few powerful ones to protect myself. Otherwise, I’ll go and fight with Duan Lingfeng now.”

“It doesn’t matter. I have plenty of materials. You can refine a divine array if you want. The key is, do you have enough strength?” Zhang Ruochen said generously.

“Hehe, I will refine arrays. The more materials, the better. Just wait and see!” said Blackie.

Blackie stared at the Genbus shell fragment in his hand and exclaimed, “This is a corner of the inscription of the array of the Heaven-Devouring Genbu Formation. The Enchanteur Chamber is really making a big move. No wonder they sent an emissary to contact the Avīci Pavilion.”

“The Heaven-Devouring Genbu Formation? To contact the Avīci Pavilion?” asked Zhang Ruochen as he was surprised.

Blackie pointed at the Genbu shell fragment and said, “The Heaven-Devouring Genbu Formation is meant to kill gods.”

“A divine array? “Zhang Ruochen asked.

Blackie shook his head and said, “No matter how powerful Duan Lingfeng is, he can’t set up a divine array. I guess he just borrowed the power of the Heaven-Devouring Genbu Formation. The level of the array is definitely not at the level of a divine array.”

“What does the Enchanteur Chamber want to do? To deal with me? Is it to deal with the cultivators of the Fane of Destiny?”

Zhang Ruochen only said this casually. Suddenly, he thought of a shocking possibility. He stared at Blackie and said, “What did the emissaries of the Enchanteur Chamber talk about when they went to the Avīci Pavilion?”
