Chapter 2575: Chapter 2578: Ridiculous
Hearing Zuo Qiqi’s shout, the faces of all the Gold-devouring Rat Clan members changed.
A flash of icy cold light passed through Jin Ming’s eyes, and the look he cast at Zuo Lincheng and his daughter carried a chilling killing intent.
Yan Hu was also staring fixedly at Zuo Qiqi, the killing intent on him completely undisguised.
Seeing the killing intent in Jin Ming’s eyes, Zuo Lincheng swallowed hard, his gaze flickering.
As for Yan Hu, Zuo Lincheng actually didn’t take him too seriously.
Just a Divine Infant Realm Peak, no matter how high his talent, he wouldn’t be a threat in the short term. If they truly decided to kill Jiang Chen, Yan Hu definitely wouldn’t be spared either. After all, an Acquired Realm Taoist Body enemy wasn’t someone any power would dare let grow up.
The Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array was indeed far too restraining for Formation-path clans.
Many years ago, someone had cultivated the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array. This person had a grudge against a Formation-path clan. After he achieved mastery, he quietly infiltrated that Formation clan. In a single night, he broke all the grand formations of that clan and turned them into Trapping Formations, then swept through them one Trapping Formation after another, forcibly wiping that clan out!
That time, all the Formation clans on the Canglan Continent were shaken. They moved out together and joined hands to hunt down that cultivator who had practiced the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array, until they finally killed him.
However, after killing that man, the many Formation clans did not find the Formation Diagram of the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array on him. Now, another cultivator who understood the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array had appeared, and he had even formed a grudge with the Zuo Clan. Although this grudge wasn’t deep, and Jiang Chen wasn’t the petty sort, Zuo Lincheng still felt inexplicably uneasy.
Jiang Chen’s talent was too terrifying. If he were allowed to grow up, wouldn’t he become a nightmare for everyone below the Great Grandmaster level of the Formation clans?
"Zuo Lincheng, Jiang Chen is a friend of my Gold-devouring Rat Clan. If your Zuo Clan dares lay a hand on him, the Zuo Clan is finished!"
Jin Ming’s indifferent voice rang out.
Jin Tianqiong and Jin Ang exchanged a glance. They didn’t look at Jin Ming, nor at Zuo Lincheng, but fixed their gazes on that fiery-red light curtain.
Hearing this, Zuo Lincheng glanced at Jin Ming, and when he caught sight of Jin Tianqiong and Jin Ang’s expressions, he instantly understood and also looked toward that fiery-red light curtain.
He knew very well that if Jiang Chen could subdue the Spiritual Fire in this ancestral land, the Gold-devouring Rat Clan would probably really stand up for him. If he failed, then most likely only Jin Ming would step out.
Although he didn’t know why the Gold-devouring Rat Clan attached such importance to someone who could subdue Spiritual Fire, from their behavior over the years it was clear that the reason they were willing to buy needed items from powers like them at such exorbitant prices was probably secondary. Getting someone to collect the Spiritual Fire in this ancestral land was the true purpose.
Otherwise, the Gold-devouring Rat Clan were all demonic beasts. There was no way they would burn through Elixirs and weapons at such a frightening rate!
As for Jiang Chen, Zuo Lincheng’s feelings were extremely complicated. He actually appreciated Jiang Chen’s way of doing things, but the matter of the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array was too serious, not something he could decide on his own.
And once this matter was reported upward, it might really lead to a repeat of the scene where numerous Formation clans encircled and hunted down a single person.
Although the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array no longer restrained the Spirit Arrays laid down by Formation Great Grandmasters, how many people could become Formation Great Grandmasters? Formation Grandmasters were the true backbone of a Formation clan. Now that someone who could influence the very foundation of their clans had appeared, which clan would allow him to live on?
Su Lieyang also frowned, giving that fiery-red light curtain a deep look as his gaze grew complicated.
For a time, the plaza fell silent. Everyone stared unblinkingly at that fiery-red light curtain.
Inside the world of flames.
Jiang Chen had already walked nearly ten li. Seeing that what lay before him was still a desolate plain, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, six-colored Great Dao Divine Light was surging from his body, his Spiritual Power pushed to its limit. The pressure he was bearing was already the maximum that this current burst of power could withstand. Yet why had he still not seen the Spiritual Fire? Did he really have to unleash his full strength?
He raised his head to glance at the sky, hesitated for a moment in his heart, then dismissed the thought.
Although he didn’t know whether Jin Tianqiong and the others could see him, this was after all the ancestral land of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan. There would definitely be eyes watching. No clan would ever allow an outsider to enter their ancestral land and simply ignore it.
"Something’s off."
Jiang Chen muttered softly. He looked around, a trace of puzzlement flashing in his eyes.
When he had first entered this ancestral land, he could still vaguely sense the fluctuations of a Formation, but now he couldn’t sense a thing.
He could be sure he hadn’t gone the wrong way. He had been heading in the direction the Formation fluctuations came from the entire time, and the pressure had only grown stronger as he went, which proved he was on the right path.
"Could it be..."
A spark of insight flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes as he once again raised his head to look at the sky.
For an Array Master not to sense any Formation fluctuations, there were only two possibilities: either no Formation had been laid, or the Formation fluctuations had been completely isolated.
The first was impossible. Jiang Chen was certain he had sensed them earlier, so only the second remained.
And since no one else had entered this place, it was impossible that someone had artificially cut off those Formation fluctuations. That left only one possibility.
Jiang Chen swept his gaze around himself with great interest and murmured, "What a brilliant Formation."
The final possibility was that he had already stepped into a Formation, and this Formation would automatically change as someone approached. It was definitely a Combined Formation, and within it existed a large isolation Formation!
"And that Zuo Qiqi still thinks that with the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array Plate in her hand she’s guaranteed the win. It’s honestly a bit laughable. This grand array can’t be broken with the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array at all."
Jiang Chen muttered under his breath.
The Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array had already been sealed into his body. If it sensed a Formation, the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array within him would give some sort of warning. The fact that it didn’t meant that this Formation wasn’t something the Heavenly Origin Big Dipper Array could break.
On the plaza, everyone heard Jiang Chen’s self-talk and turned to look at Zuo Qiqi. Zuo Qiqi’s expression darkened, and she glared at the figure on the light curtain, a surge of anger blazing up in her heart!
Bastard! I haven’t even gone in yet and you’re already mocking me! I really should’ve killed you!
Expectancy appeared in the eyes of Jin Tianqiong and Jin Ang.
All these years, Jiang Chen was the first to actually perceive the Formation.
Although many knew there was a Formation in the ancestral land, no one had ever truly detected it. Only some Array Masters, like Jiang Chen earlier, had sensed a trace of it when they first entered. On that alone, Jin Tianqiong and the others felt he was worth looking forward to.
And under everyone’s watchful gaze, Jiang Chen on the light curtain slowly closed his eyes!
