Chapter 1575

?Secrets

How insolent! Putting on airs!? Luo Qianqiu, dont think wed be afraid of you just because youve ascended! Fight us if you dare!l Liu s.h.i.+yuan roared, his clothes fluttering in the absence of a gust.

Like swords being unsheathed, his True Yuan formed into countless colorful long swords that surrounded him.

Despite the intimidation, Luo Qianqiu did not react, still having his back facing him.

Elder Liu, nows not a good time, Yan Wuchen voiced. He then commanded the Hongmeng cultivators, Those below the Heaven rank, leave Sky Island now!

His order evoked murmurs among the cultivators, as they could not fathom why he would dismiss those below the Heaven rank. Such a situation was rare.

However, due to the standing of the Great Four Elders, everyone could only leave Sky Island obediently.

Soon, only the Heaven-ranked elders remained.

Yan Wuchen broke the silence by saying, Are you here to seek our help?

Ning Zhengfeng smiled. Elder Yan, it isnt as simple as that. Do you think Hongmeng can handle the G.o.ds when we, the three major clans, had failed to do so? Im not belittling the Heaven-ranked elders, but Brother Qianqiu and his father were in the Tai Qing Heavenly Lightning stage, and no one in Hongmeng is their match.

Yan Wuchen narrowed his eyes. I admit that Patriarch Luos cultivation is superior to ours, but we are protected by the Twelve Divine G.o.ds and Demons Array. Theres nothing they can do to us. If you hadnt attacked the G.o.ds territory, they wouldnt have fought you. After all, they never dared to enter our lands for the past 20,000 years.

Elder Yan, just get to the point. Since youve dismissed the minions, drop the act. Ning Zhengfeng sn.i.g.g.e.red.

Oh my, it sounds like you know a lot. Yan Xiuming covered his face with his fan and chuckled.

Many of the Heaven-ranked elders had grin expressions on their faces.

Ning Zhengfeng raised his head and said, Because the Twelve Divine G.o.ds and Demons Array was created by immortals, its power is undeniable. It couldnt have held the demonic beasts in there for years if it didnt. But can you, or should I say, do you understand how to activate the array!? According to what I know, Hongmengs claim of supplying True Yuan to the array is a ruse... As its fuel, the array has been absorbing spiritual energy from the world on its own. True Yuan... theres no need for others to supply it.

I dont think its appropriate for you to make speculations on our affairs, Yan Wuchen said, unfazed.

Ning Zhengfeng mumbled. Of course, we hope that you can control the array to defend against the G.o.ds, but based on the current situation, you may struggle...

The Four Great Elders remained silent, as did the other elders words.

In fact, they were well aware that the Luos defeat demonstrated that the G.o.ds power had risen to unfathomable heights.

If all eleven G.o.ds attacked them at once, they would be defenseless.

At that moment, Luo Qianqiu rose into the air, standing at the same height as the twelve elders.

At this point, theres only one path to take. Do you still refuse to swallow your pride?

The elders expression seemed tense as if he had spoken of a taboo.

In the end, Master Yanyun was the first to speak.

Amitabha. At the end of the day, youre looking for the two array guardians, not us.

The atmosphere turned solemn at the mention of the array guardians.

Luo Qianqiu, Ning Zhengfeng, and the others seemed excited.

It seems that the array guardians are related to Hongmeng. Well, that makes sense since you proclaimed yourselves to be the guardians of China. That makes you closer to them. Luo Qianqius lips quirked into a smile.

Ning Zhengfeng also ascended into the air. Ive only heard about it from my forefathers and never met them. All I know is that the two array guardians are the ones who keep the array safe. Their cultivation bases are extensive, and they will not expand unless China is on the verge of annihilation. The only information we have about the guardians is that they are from the mundane worlds Yang and Li clans. That is why forces in the cultivation world are courteous to them. Ive never dared to let the branch in the mundane world trouble the Yang and Li clans since I became patriarch of the Ning clan. Even though I dont fully believe in the existence of the guardians, I couldnt ignore my forefathers warning. Now it appears that I made the correct decision. Fortunately, Ive never directly harmed either clan and if the array guardians exist, they should be at least a thousand years old, given their clans history...

The guardians have never revealed their faces, and weve never met them. As for the rumors, they are baseless. Moreover, we dont know how to contact them. If youre here to sick for their help, its pointless. Go back, Yan Wuchen said coldly.

With a smug expression, Ning Zhengfeng replied, Elder Yan, youre belittling my clans network in the mundane world. Do you think were clueless? Hongmeng established their connections with the mundane world through the general of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. Superior to Hongmeng and the general is every First Senior Official. Thats because his backing is the array guardians, am I right?

The expressions of the elders s.h.i.+fted. Astonishment flashed across their faces. They were clearly surprised that Ning Zhengfeng was aware of the secrets.

In truth, China underwent countless dynasties, and the most recent government had been founded for less than a century.

That meant that the array of guardians supported different people in different eras. Being royalty did not guarantee them the protection of the array guardians.

The array guardians were usually fond of capable, humble men.

For instance, if the current First Senior Official was ambitious, aimed for immortality, and was more smart enough to aid in Chinas development, they would not have sided with him.

The array of guardians and the person they support would be superior to Hongmeng. If they didnt let you know who they were supporting, you couldnt have willingly handed China to the First Senior Official, instead of letting the general take charge. Therefore, the elders of Hongmeng should be aware of this. Through this, we can deduce that the array guardians are a.s.sociated with Hongmeng.

Ning Zhengfeng continued, It has been less than a century since the current government was formed. Since you all are a few hundred years old, Im sure you wont forget about your interaction with the array guardians in the past years. That wont make sense.

As expected as the wisest man in the illusionary dimension. Patriarch Ning, you sure are eloquent. We cant deny. Yan Xiuming chuckled and glanced at Yan Wuchen. Elder Yan, theyve come prepared, and I doubt theyll leave unless they hear from the array guardians.

The latter paid no heed to his words, remaining silent.

You can just meet them as you please! Even if we know their existence, we dont know how to contact them. Since youre aware that they support the First Senior Official, why dont you find him? Liu s.h.i.+yuan snapped.

I know we wont be able to meet them. Ning Zhengfeng gave a faint smile. The truth is that if the array guardians exist, they must have known what had happened. Were just checking in to confirm our guess and remind you. If the array guardians refuse to a.s.sist us, I doubt they will a.s.sist Hongmeng either. After all, the array does not rely on your protection, so we are on equal footing. Yang Chen, on the other hand, is a descendant of the array guardians. Will they allow him to do whatever he wants?

As he spoke, he looked around his surroundings, as though he was talking to someone.
