The Four Symbols Bewildering Array
This is just a low-level maze, and it's not complicated to set up.
Su Qing planted the array flags in the four corners, so that the entire hall was shrouded in the Four Symbols Bewildering Array.
As a wisp of mist swept in, everyone felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
"What's going on?" Yan Ziying raised her hand and thrust out with her sword, but an explosion came from the air, followed by falling rocks. If she hadn't run fast, she would have been hit squarely.
Su Qing sneered and said, "You have already fallen into my formation."
Only then did the members of the Wuji Sect see Su Qing's phantom appear in the air!
"A master of formations?"
Yan Ziying gasped. How could a disciple of the Xuanling Sect at the seventh level of Qi Refining be able to set up such a powerful formation?
“It’s just the lowest level Four Symbols Bewitching Array.” Ouyang Chun sneered and said, “Just find the array’s core and destroy it! This kind of array is the simplest; the core is in the four corners.”
He was someone who understood formations, but Su Qing didn't care.
"Since that's the case, let's break the formation then," Su Qing said.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Xuanling Sect were protected by Su Qing within a protective barrier.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, you're amazing! You can even set up formations!" Jiang Cheng said with admiration.
Han Chen was also extremely shocked. Back when they went to the back mountain of Xuanling Sect for training, Su Qing had the lowest cultivation level but was the most composed. He had sensed that Su Qing was unusual. Now, seeing that Su Qing was only an outer disciple with three spiritual roots, she could always do things that inner disciples, no, even direct disciples, could not do.
"That Ouyang Chun actually knows how to break the formation?" Mu Zihan looked worried.
Ouyang Chun stepped forward, holding a round magical artifact in his hand—the Ancient Compass.
“There are array flags in all four directions: east, west, south, and north. Once the array flags are pulled out, the Four Symbols Bewitching Array will naturally break, and the illusions will naturally disappear,” Ouyang Chun pointed out the four directions.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, they've found the location of the array flag!" Wen Yougui said.
Su Qing smiled slightly and said, "Just let them go."
Su Qing didn't care at all.
Did they really think it was a simple Four Symbols Maze?
It's not that simple. This is indeed the Four Symbols Bewitching Array, but did you know that the Three Talents Array is also superimposed on it? Of course, the Three Talents Array is just one of the smaller killing arrays. The most deadly thing is that there is also the Nine-Bend Linked Array inside.
The formation also contained thousands of talismans.
The one that just dealt with Yan Ziying was the Falling Rock Talisman; there were a full thousand of these talismans. This was the Falling Rock Barrier set up by Su Qing.
In addition, there are thousands of challenges: blazing flames, exploding explosions, lightning strikes, and earth-shattering fissures...
If we go through each level, we might barely be able to reach the battle flag.
I just don't know if we'll still have the strength to pull the battle flag by then.
When the Xuanling Sect disciples saw the Wuji Sect fleeing in disarray within the formation, they were all extremely relieved that Su Qing was a disciple of their Xuanling Sect.
"Let's go inside and take a look." Yu Kui saw that these Wuji Sect disciples were trapped in the formation with so many talismans and mechanisms. Even if they managed to escape, their lives would be in danger.
These Xuanling Sect disciples, who had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, were ruthless in hunting demonic beasts, but they still couldn't bear to watch as all the Wuji Sect disciples died in the formation.
So the disciples of the Xuanling Sect headed together towards the depths of the Xuanyuan Altar.
Su Ruoshan remained hidden in the corner. Her location was a recess in the stone wall, which prevented her from falling into the four-fold bewildering array.
She was astonished to see how popular Su Qing was in the Xuanling Sect, and how she had even become the object of protection for many inner disciples of the Xuanling Sect.
When Su Ruoshan saw Su Qing take out so many talismans from her storage space, she was completely stunned.
In the end, Su Qing actually set up an array.
Su Ruoshan stared blankly as the Xuanling Sect disciples left, completely distraught.
What has she been doing since her rebirth?
In order to seize the opportunity of Su Qing in her previous life, she went to great lengths, even being disliked by her father and causing her mother's position as the matriarch of the Su family to be insecure. She finally managed to join the Cloud Sword Sect.
Who would have thought that the Cloud Sword Sect was such a trap?
There isn't a single normal person in the Cloud Sword Sect. Although she is the sect leader's personal disciple, if she can't kill Shui Qingrou within a year, she will be killed by Shui Qingrou in return!
It's astonishing that a dilapidated sect like the Cloud Sword Sect has a rule that the strong survive.
Su Ruoshan did not obtain any good cultivation techniques, and even the Cloud Sword Technique was just a broken and incomplete version. In the Xuanling Sect, it would be a sword technique that even outer disciples could easily cultivate.
Having finally obtained an opportunity to enter the Xuanyuan Secret Realm, who would have thought that this secret realm would treat people differently?
Now, when she met Su Qing again, Su Qing had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and was a highly sought-after disciple of the Xuanling Sect. She could only hide in this dark corner and watch Su Qing shine!
Su Ruoshan couldn't help but think of her previous life, when she became a vengeful ghost and saw Su Qing, the Nascent Soul stage cultivator and the sect leader of the Cloud Sword Sect, with her outstanding appearance.
At that time, she was the center of attention, while she was merely an ordinary vengeful ghost within the Yin-Yang Banner held by the demonic cultivator.
Su Ruoshan bit her lip.
She was unwilling to accept it!
Why is it that, in this second life, Su Qing is still the Su Qing who is the center of attention, while she has become like a rat in a sewer?
Su Ruoshan slowly moved her body out of the hollow.
She watched as the Wuji Sect disciples were tortured to the point of near death within the Four Symbols Bewildering Array.
"I can help you!" Su Ruoshan's voice was not loud, and was even drowned out by the explosions in the formation.
But Yan Ziying still heard it.
"Who are you?" Yan Ziying roared, swinging her longsword, and the surrounding smoke immediately dissipated.
“I am Su Ruoshan, a disciple of the Cloud Sword Sect! I can help you. However, I have conditions.”
"Cloud Sword Sect?"
The Wuji Sect disciples racked their brains for a long time but couldn't figure out where the sect was. Suddenly, an outer disciple said, "I remember now. The Yunjian Sect used to be a somewhat famous sword sect, but it has declined drastically and is said to have moved to the Gobi Desert."
"The Gobi Desert, a place with scarce spiritual energy, still has sects?"
"Isn't this a defeat?"
"It's fallen so low? Even rogue cultivators don't go to the Gobi Desert anymore, right?"
...
Hearing the whispers, Su Ruoshan's face turned pale and then flushed.
"Alright, tell me, what are your conditions?" Yan Ziying asked.
Su Ruoshan smiled and said, "As you have said, the Cloud Sword Sect has fallen. My condition is simple: I will betray the Cloud Sword Sect, and I hope that your Wuji Sect can accept me as an inner disciple."
"Why should we agree to your request?" Yan Ziying sneered.
Su Ruoshan bit her lip and said, "I can break this Four Symbols Bewildering Array with just a wave of my hand."
Yan Ziying chuckled and said, "You joined a lousy sect like the Cloud Sword Sect, so you must have mediocre talent, right? Our Wuji Sect is one of the five major sects of the Wuyuan Continent. To enter our inner sect, you either need dual spiritual roots or be at the Foundation Establishment stage. Are you one of them?"
