Zhang Yuan did not pursue.
He had no hatred for the Blue Wolf Demon. As a prospective law enforcer in the human realm, he could not kill other people's lives without cause, as this would increase his ferocity and make him a target for law enforcers.
Zhang Yuan sheathed his moon sword, quite satisfied with the new attack formation he had mastered.
Although the attack power of the formation is not greatly increased at present, as the level of understanding and practice of formations improves in the future, the attack power of the formation should become stronger.
At this moment, a crescent moon hung high in the night sky.
Zhang Yuan had to attend class the next day, so he quickly left the small mountain range.
...
It was already past midnight when I returned to the small courtyard under the banyan tree.
The shops on the street were all closed, and most people were asleep at this hour.
Zhang Yuan returned to the courtyard, and seeing that no one was around, he used his movement technique to leap lightly from the courtyard directly to the small balcony on the third floor.
He quietly opened the dormitory door and went back to his room.
The fierce fighting of World War I had just ended. Zhang Yuan was covered in sweat. He returned to his room and opened the window to let in some fresh air.
Next to Zhang Yuan's courtyard was a three-story residential building. These houses lined up along the student street, with a two-meter-wide passageway separating Zhang Yuan's building from the one next door.
Before Zhang Yuan moved in, the third floor of the building next door had been vacant for a long time. Tonight, when Zhang Yuan opened the window, he was surprised to see that the lights were on in the room on the third floor.
Through the brown glass, you can vaguely see a long-haired girl walking around inside the room.
"People are living in this room too?"
I wonder if they are also students at the school?
As Zhang Yuan pondered this, he stood by the window to let the breeze dry the sweat on his body.
Coincidentally, the window on the third floor next door was also open.
Zhang Yuan and the girl living in the opposite room were both somewhat surprised to see each other.
"It's you!"
The two said in unison.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, so you live here!"
Ye Xiaoqian blinked her beautiful eyes in surprise.
Zhang Yuan was also surprised.
"Yes, you live here?"
Ye Xiaoqian nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, I just moved here today. I didn't expect to be neighbors with Brother Zhang Yuan!"
Ye Xiaoqian smiled faintly, looking quite happy.
Zhang Yuan laughed heartily.
Thinking of the blue wolf demon she encountered tonight, Ye Xiaoqian seemed to recognize it, so she asked, "Do you know that blue wolf demon in the bar tonight?"
"Yes, his name is Qingcang, and he is the son of the Green Wolf Demon King of Daxing Mountain."
"We used to cultivate together in the Daxing Mountains and grew up together!"
Oh! Childhood sweetheart!
Zhang Yuan seemed to be thinking.
"Qingcang, did he cause you trouble?"
Ye Xiaoqian seemed to sense something and asked weakly.
"We ran into each other on the street at night, got into a fight, and I beat them off!"
Zhang Yuandao.
Upon hearing this, the little fox Ye Xiaoqian was somewhat surprised, not expecting the two to fight. However, she was even more surprised that Zhang Yuancai, after reaching the Meridian Opening Realm, could actually defeat Qing Cang, who was already at the initial stage of the Demon General Realm!
"Is he alright?"
"It's alright, it ran away!"
Ye Xiaoqian looked away and didn't say anything more.
"It's the demons from the Daxing Mountains again!"
The tiger demon and eagle demon also live in the Daxing Mountains. I wonder if the dragon demon king, who has been sending people to hunt him down, also lives in the Daxing Mountains?
Zhang Yuan pondered.
At this moment, he even wondered if this little fox might also be sent by that dragon demon king to find an opportunity to kill him.
However, it doesn't seem likely. The little fox demon's cultivation level is only at the Demon Soldier Realm, which is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Realm in humans! The Flood Dragon Demon King shouldn't send such a weak little demon to kill him.
However, one should always be wary of others, and Zhang Yuan dared not be careless.
He grew more wary of the little fox demon and tentatively asked, "Do you know the Flood Dragon Demon King? Is he also a demon from the Daxing Mountains?"
Upon hearing the words "Dragon Demon King," the little fox demon was somewhat surprised. Her eyes darted around, and she looked a little nervous.
"How do you know about the Flood Dragon Demon King?!"
Ye Xiaoqian said in a low voice, looking nervous as if she was afraid of being overheard.
But then he thought about it again and realized that it wasn't surprising that Brother Zhang Yuan, being a cultivator, knew about the Flood Dragon Demon King, so he said, "I know!"
The Flood Dragon Demon King is indeed a powerful demon in the Daxing Mountains, with terrifying strength. It is said that he has already cultivated to the level of Demon King, a quasi-Demon Emperor!
He's even stronger than Cang's father, the Azure Wolf Demon King!
"By the way, why did you ask about the Flood Dragon Demon King?"
Zhang Yuan laughed and said awkwardly, "I met some demons a while ago and heard about the Flood Dragon Demon King from them. Since you are also a demon, I was curious and asked."
Zhang Yuan dared not tell Ye Xiaoqian about being chased by the Flood Dragon Demon King. What if she was in cahoots with the Flood Dragon Demon King? That would be terrible.
When the topic turned to the Great Xing Mountain and the Demon King, the little fox suddenly became very talkative.
Zhang Yuan was still thinking about how to get more information about the Flood Dragon Demon King out of Ye Xiaoqian, but now Ye Xiaoqian herself had already told him everything.
“Our Daxing Mountain has ten demon kings, each occupying a different mountain peak. Among them, the Flood Dragon Demon King and the Azure Wolf Demon King are the strongest. However, the Flood Dragon Demon King is wicked and has done many bad things. Therefore, the Azure Wolf Demon King does not like to associate with them and does not allow his demons to have private dealings with the Flood Dragon Demon King’s forces.”
Ye Xiaoqian said.
"So, you and Qinglang Yaocang belong to the Qinglang Demon King's forces?"
"Yes."
Zhang Yuan suddenly understood. This explained why the wolf demon and the fox demon did not have any ferocity, but the tiger demon and eagle demon sent by the dragon demon king were full of ferocity.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, you must never provoke the Flood Dragon Demon King! Those demons are wicked!"
Ye Xiaoqian said in a low voice, her teeth itching.
Zhang Yuan nodded.
The little fox had been busy at the bar all day and was probably tired, so it yawned.
Zhang Yuan said, "It's getting late, you should get some rest too!"
"Okay, goodnight, Brother Zhang Yuan."
Ye Xiaoqian said.
After closing the window, Zhang Yuan returned to his room. He wasn't sleepy, so he sat on the bed and continued his cultivation.
~~
Time is like sand slipping through your fingers; before you know it, ten days have passed.
With the help of the enlightenment stone's amplification of comprehension, Zhang Yuan's understanding of the Spirit Gathering Array finally achieved a qualitative breakthrough.
That evening, as the setting sun cast its slanting rays upon the campus, the banyan trees in the small courtyard under the banyan tree were bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, and Zhang Yuan was busy in his dormitory.
In the two-bedroom suite, four red crystal stones, slightly smaller than a fist, were placed at a peculiar angle in the four corners of the suite.
In addition, there were pebbles and a piece of ordinary yellowish-brown stone in the room.
These stones were specially collected by Zhang Yuan from the Qingshigang behind the school, the stream by the school playground, and the vicinity of the paulownia grove.
Placing three stones in the room allows them to interact with the spiritual energy there, enabling the spiritual energy from the area behind the school, beside the playground, and among the paulownia trees to converge into this room in the Banyan Tree Courtyard through a spirit-gathering array.
This is the principle behind the arrangement of the Spirit Gathering Array.
But there is a crucial link here: Zhang Yuan must use his divine soul, or primordial spirit, to sense the spiritual energy of the mountain behind the school, the stream by the school playground, and the paulownia forest, and apply his mental power. Then, with the help of the red crystal stone, he can make the spiritual energy of this area converge into the formation, thereby drawing in the spiritual energy from these areas and increasing the concentration of spiritual energy within the formation.
It is no easy task for the primordial spirit to sense the spiritual energy of these three places.
Zhang Yuan needed to be extremely focused and sense the spiritual energy in the three locations in order to create a resonance and gather the spiritual energy.
Simply put, the stronger a cultivator's soul is, the better they can sense spiritual energy and the easier it is to draw in nearby spiritual energy, thus making the spirit-gathering formation more effective.
Zhang Yuan's current spiritual strength only allows him to control spiritual energy within this large range; any larger and he won't be able to.
Zhang Yuan chose the mountain behind the school, the paulownia forest, and the stream by the playground because these places had a richer spiritual energy than other places.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan was sitting in the center of the hall, using his divine soul to sense the spiritual energy in the three places.
Setting up the array was very taxing on his soul, and beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Yuan's forehead. As the spiritual energy of the last paulownia tree grove was sensed, the spirit-gathering array emitted strange lights, and the array was finally successfully set up.
Then, the spiritual energy from the three areas—the back mountain of the school, the streamside on the school playground, and the paulownia grove—flowed continuously and wildly into Zhang Yuan's dormitory in the Banyan Tree Courtyard on Student Street!
The concentration of spiritual energy in Zhang Yuan's dormitory continued to soar, instantly increasing by almost double!
