The elite sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect had been lying in wait outside the abandoned building for a long time, finally waiting for the perfect opportunity. Taking advantage of the deep night, when most of the mysterious figures were out and the number of people left at the stronghold was reduced, the sword cultivators decided to sneak in quietly.
They darted across the ruins like ghosts, carefully avoiding any potential traps. Upon entering the building, a musty, decaying aura filled the air. By the dim moonlight, the sword cultivators saw strange objects scattered throughout the interior: banners inscribed with mysterious runes and stones covered in eerie patterns.
"These things look very eerie, everyone be careful," the leading swordsman whispered a warning.
The sword cultivators dispersed and began carefully searching for clues. In a hidden corner, they discovered a tattered ledger. The ledger recorded some strange transactions involving a large amount of rare spiritual materials and special magical artifacts, and the counterparties all seemed to be the mysterious man in black robes.
"It seems this man in black robes is secretly planning something big. These spiritual materials and magical treasures must have a special purpose," a sword cultivator analyzed.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside. The sword cultivators quickly concealed themselves, holding their breath. Several mysterious figures escorted a man in black robes as he entered. The man in black robes was tall and exuded a chilling aura. His face was covered by a black veil, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed with an eerie light.
"How is everything prepared? Time is running out, we must complete the plan as soon as possible." The black-robed man's voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the deepest hell.
"Rest assured, sir, everything is prepared. However, the defenses at the Lingxu Market seem to have been strengthened, which may cause some obstacles during our operation," a mysterious man replied respectfully.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter. Even if they are on guard, they can't predict our true methods. Proceed according to plan. As long as we successfully activate the 'Chaotic Spirit Array,' the Spirit Ruins Market will be doomed." The man in black robes sneered, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
The sword cultivators were startled upon hearing "Chaotic Spirit Fiend Array." Although they didn't know the exact power of this array, they could sense from the black-robed man's tone that it must be extremely dangerous.
"When shall we activate the formation?" the mysterious man asked.
"The best time will be on the night of the full moon three days from now. At that time, the spiritual energy in the Spirit Ruins Market will be at its most active, and the power of the formation will be maximized," the man in black robes said.
The sword cultivators dared not linger any longer and quietly left the abandoned building. They immediately relayed this important news to Lin Yang and the others.
"'Chaotic Spirit Array'? I've never heard of this array before, but judging from their description, it seems extremely dangerous," Lin Yang said solemnly.
After a moment of contemplation, the Pavilion Master of Wanbaoge said, "I once saw a few words about the 'Chaotic Spirit Array' in an ancient book. This array is an evil array from ancient times. It requires a large number of rare spiritual materials and special magic treasures as the array base. Once activated, it can disrupt the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles, causing a spiritual energy storm. Wherever it passes, everything is destroyed."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. "We absolutely cannot let them succeed!" The elder of the Spirit Sword Sect clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger.
"The most urgent task is to find a way to break this formation, and at the same time strengthen the defenses of the Spirit Ruins Market," Lin Yang quickly decided.
The Pavilion Master of Wanbaoge immediately returned to Wanbaoge and consulted all relevant ancient texts, attempting to find a way to break the "Chaotic Spirit Array." The Linghe Chamber of Commerce intensified its surveillance of the mysterious figures, ensuring they were aware of their every move. The Lingjian Sect deployed an even more robust sword array around the Lingxu Market, coordinating it with defensive formations.
However, with only three days until the full moon, can they find a solution in such a short time and successfully thwart the black-robed man's plot? The Lingxu Market is once again facing a severe test of life and death, and everyone is racing against time.
