Chapter 370: Contact

Jiu Han could not be blamed for being anxious.

After all, the impromptu knowledge of formations that Lu Ming casually mentioned was too crucial.

Jiu Hans original intention in posing the question was to examine and verify Lu Mings proficiency in array formations.

Unintentionally, he brought up a difficult point of the purification grand array as a question.

And Lu Mings subsequent words enlightened Jiu Han, sparking an excitement that he could not contain, making him eager to enter work mode.

Speaking of which, more than 10 days ago, after Lord Deun gave them that crystal, Jiu Han and the others immediately began researching the purification array formation.

After more than 10 days, however, this array formation still did not take shapedespite harnessing the power of nearly half of the array formation experts in the Black Mist Zone, they still could not figure out the details of this array formation.

It could only be said that their proficiency in array formations was far too lacking.

But Lu Mings words just now were like a key unlocking a higher path.

This even made Jiu Han disregard the Bos.h.i.+ Tower, the academy, Shu Fang, and other matters, wanting only to quickly address the array formation issues and then explore the higher-level scenery.

Indeed, no one could resist such temptation.

Unfortunately, poor Jiu Han did not know.

As long as he could restrain his urgency a little

Then his jaw would drop from what Lu Ming had to say.

Jiu Han left, leaving Lu Ming on his own.

With nothing else to do, Lu Ming decided to wander around this small mountain.

The entire small mountain was about a hundred meters high, appearing to be artificially constructed.

On the mountain peak stood Jiu Hans temporary palace. The area of the temporary palace was not small. There were manors, palaces, and buildings with various functions.

There were more than ten servants in the manor, tending to daily life matters and helping Jiu Han with various ch.o.r.es.

In short, Lu Ming could tell from these details that Teacher Jiu Hans cooperation with the Subversives was probably not under coercion. Instead, it seemed more like a voluntary choice.

Lu Ming did not want to worry too much about who Jiu Han was working with.

He just casually glanced at the layout of the buildings on the mountain and examined in detail the mountain protection array formation set up by Jiu Han.

Although Lu Ming saw several flaws in the protective array formation, but considering Jiu Hans advice not to expose his array formation abilities, Lu Ming did not bother to make changes.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Ming took out the Bos.h.i.+ Tower and placed it on the ground. After adjusting the array formation to transform the Bors.h.i.+ Tower into a tower about 10 meters high, Lu Ming paid it no further attention.

The Bos.h.i.+ Tower belonged to Jiu Han in the first place, so it was only natural for Lu Ming to return it to its rightful owner.

Moreover, the majority of the survivors in the tower were from the Three Elements Academy. Regarding how to settle them, Jiu Han would need to come up with a plan, and Lu Ming would not take matters into his own hands.

As for the punishment of Lin Feng, that also required Jiu Hans final decision.

However, that Moon Fiend belonged to Lu Mings spoils of war.

For the time being, he could not be bothered to deal with Moon Fiends matter for now, so he left her in the Bos.h.i.+ Tower. After returning to his room and thinking for a moment, Lu Ming took out his communicator and dialed Cheng Chengs contact number.

Fortunately, there was a signal in this place.

Soon, Cheng Chengs face appeared on the phone screen, and upon seeing Lu Mings calm face, Cheng Cheng could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Brother Lu, its good as long as youre fine.

Cheng Cheng had long known about the disaster that had erupted in Xuanshui City and also knew that Lu Ming was in the Three Elements Academy in Xuanshui City.

On the day the incident erupted, Cheng Cheng had sent a message to Lu Ming, but due the lack of signal and communication in the Black Mist Zone, Lu Ming could not respond to Cheng Chengs call.

Smiling, Lu Ming said, What could happen to me? Dont forget that Im Lu Ming

Cheng Cheng smiled when she heard Lu Mings words.

By the way, hows the situation on your end now?

Cheng Cheng said, The higher-ups have abandoned the battle front of the Plain Field Province

Cheng Cheng explained in detail while Lu Ming listened attentively.

Soon, Cheng Cheng finished speaking and Lu Ming then chatted with Cheng Cheng about some trivial matters in life and what he had seen and heard in the Black Mist Zone.

They chatted for a full hour before Lu Ming finally ended the call.

He sat on the ground, holding his phone, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In this month and a half, there had been significant changes in the battle between the Eternal Clan and the Subversives.

The main reason was undoubtedly the upheaval in Xuanshui City.

The black mist that rose from the depths of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss not only spread crazily in the Frozen Land, but it also surged towards Xuanshui City through the permanently solidified Blood Demon Gate.

And Xuanshui City was located in the hinterland of the Eternal Clan.

Adding to the fact that, up to now, the higher-ups of the Eternal Clan had not come up with a way to deal with the black mistperhaps, there might not even be a way to deal with it.

They could not even suppress the spread of the black mist.

In short, currently, the Eternal Clan had lost its will and determination to fight. Perhaps in the minds of the higher-ups of the Eternal Clan, all they could see was the black mist that had bitten their backsides.

This should have been a great opportunity for the Subversives Alliance to advance.

However, unexpectedly, with the eruption of the black mist rising from the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss, the Subversives Alliance, contrary to expectations, retreated.

According to Cheng Cheng, she felt that the Subversives seemed to be preparing for something big.

Lu Ming thought of the small island he was currently on.

His intuition told him that the stagnation of the Subversive camp at the front line of the battlefield was inseparable from the research here.

Its done!

Underground, as Jiu Han outlined the final array formation and connected it with the other formations, a brilliant silver light burst forth.

A large group of array formation experts beside Jiu Han had seen Jiu Hans operation from beginning to end. At this moment, upon the completion of the formation, they could not help but express their admiration.

Exquisite design, genius-like ingenuity!

Truly worthy of Teacher Jiu Han. This time, he has truly opened our eyes.

Teacher Jiu Han, how did you come up with the idea of using materials like dark crystal cinnabar?

The flattering remarks from the surrounding array formation experts were even a bit overwhelming for Jiu Hans demeanor, given his composure.

His beard was curled up, clearly, he was extremely delighted.

After all, in terms of strength, he was indeed the top among these people.

However, in terms of the array formation prowess alone, Jiu Han really did not dare to claim to be the strongest here.

Just as Jiu Han was enjoying the flattery, a voice sounded from not far away.

So its done? Its all done?

The one who spoke was Zero.

Hearing Zeros voice, Jiu Hans expression immediately fell.

Its partially done. Weve only overcome one difficulty, but its still premature to say the entire formation has taken shape.

When Zero, who had arrived beside Jiu Han, heard this, his face showed a hint of disappointment.

After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, We have to hurry.

Jiu Hans expression changed, Is there a problem?

Yes. Zero nodded slightly and secretly sent a voice transmission, This place may not be able to stay hidden. I hope to resolve the issues before trouble comes knocking at least a part of the issues has to be resolved.

What kind of trouble? Zero did not say.

However, Jiu Han also made some vague speculations about this so-called trouble.

Looking at the array patterns on the ground that were only more than half completed, Jiu Han thought for a moment and could not help but grit his teeth.

A week. Give me one more week.

If it was in the past, Jiu Han would certainly not dare to make such a statement. However, thinking of his mysterious last disciple, Jiu Han gained immense confidence.

Zero gently patted Jiu Hans shoulder, Im leaving everything to you..
