CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 152: ARRAY-BREAKING TREASURE

If there’s any connection, it’s even more necessary to pull Cyan Wind Zhenren to deal with Shen Wang and the Demon Suppression Department.

"Wait a moment."

Cyan Wind Zhenren pondered for a moment, got up, and took out a talisman.

Ge Changzhuang glanced at it; it was a more advanced Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman.

Such talismans are made in pairs or batches, not as precious as Communication Talismans, suitable for temporary communication.

Taking out this kind of long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman, most likely they want to contact people in Xi Province.

The talisman activated, Cyan Wind Zhenren said a few words, then waited quietly.

Xi Province, where the Demon Suppression Department’s branch is located.

Someone hurriedly arrived at the door of a room: "Sir, a Zhenren from the Celestial Travel Sect has come to inquire about some matters."

"What matters?"

A female voice came from inside the room.

The newcomer did not enter, respectfully replied, "Inquiring whether Shen Wang is with our Demon Suppression Department."

"No, you tell them, Gong Yu has already been controlled by Shen Wang using Gu poison, and has no relation to our Demon Suppression Department." The woman said plainly.

"Yes."

The newcomer turned and left.

The woman muttered to herself: "Refused to join back then, and now thinking of bluffing, wishful thinking."

Soon, Cyan Wind Zhenren received a reply.

He sneered: "You’ve been deceived, Gong Yu was controlled by another person named Shen Wang using Gu poison to kill Ge Changzhuang."

Profound Thunder Zhenren turned his head: "Is this information reliable?"

"Humph, I communicated directly with the people from the Demon Suppression Department in the name of the Celestial Travel Sect; unless they aren’t afraid of becoming hostile with the Celestial Travel Sect, there’s no reason for them to lie."

Cyan Wind Zhenren coldly glanced at Profound Thunder Zhenren: "You came here wanting to leverage my power to deal with that person called Shen Wang, but who is he to make even a Zhenren who cultivates the Thunder Sword Dao so troubled?"

"Not much of a background, just a person from a small family, but very clever in his methods, currently hiding within an array. I can’t deal with him for the time being."

Profound Thunder Zhenren revealed some information.

Cyan Wind Zhenren gave Profound Thunder Zhenren a deep look: "In that case, let Ling Shu go with you to handle it. After she consolidates her realm, she can take this opportunity to showcase her strength."

"I’d welcome Ling Shu coming along, but I also want to ask Cyan Wind Brother to help find an Array Grandmaster. If we can directly break the array, it would be easy to deal with him."

Profound Thunder Zhenren stated his request. Although their family is large, they don’t have any Array Grandmasters. As a leader of a lineage, Zhenren Cyan Wind should be able to find one.

"Without any benefit, do you think you can persuade an Array Grandmaster?"

Cyan Wind Zhenren retorted: "What exactly is your conflict with him?"

"Sigh, it still relates to Ling Shu. This person’s wife is a collateral descendant of my Yun Family. At first, we wanted to take some of her blood to help Ling Shu heal, but he refused, resulting in a fight between our people."

Profound Thunder Zhenren said helplessly: "A steward from our Yun Family died at his hands, leading to a deep enmity. For the sake of face, I can’t just let him go."

Cyan Wind Zhenren frowned: "Surname Shen? Could it be the Shen Family? They are also an affiliate family of the Celestial Travel Sect, so don’t do anything rash."

"It’s unrelated to their family. He’s now hiding in a small place protected by a top-grade array."

Profound Thunder Zhenren shook his head.

"Top-grade array?" Cyan Wind Zhenren was dubious, "A Foundation Establishment Cultivator can afford such an array?"

"This person has some talent in talismanic magic, made some money, and is relying on the array to confront us, leading to the situation today."

Profound Thunder Zhenren explained the reason.

"No wonder."

Cyan Wind Zhenren pondered for a moment, then said: "It’s not easy to invite an Array Grandmaster. I will lend you an array-breaking treasure. When the time comes, Ling Shu will bring it and go with you to deal with this matter."

"That would be best, no need to owe too many favors." Profound Thunder Zhenren was slightly pleased, as this would also reduce the number of people sharing the treasures.

"Ling Shu is currently refining her lifebound treasure. Keep an eye on her. After she comes out, she will bring the array-breaking treasure to find you."

Cyan Wind Zhenren laid out the plan.

"Then I’ll trouble Cyan Wind Brother." Profound Thunder Zhenren cupped his hands.

"Ge Changzhuang is a person from my Xun Vein, naturally, he won’t die easily by the hands of others. I am helping you to deal with this matter."

Cyan Wind Zhenren said plainly: "As long as it’s solved, that’s all that matters."

"This time there will be no issue."

Profound Thunder Zhenren said confidently, in his view, Shen Wang only has an array to rely on. Once it’s broken, he won’t count for much, and could be killed with a slap.

"Ling Shu also wants to follow the Sword Dao. This time, I must trouble you to give her some guidance, to help her condense Sword Intent and enhance her treasure’s attack power."

Cyan Wind Zhenren also voiced his request.

"It’s the least I can do. I am her elder, and considering her talent, condensing Sword Intent should be easy for her."

Profound Thunder Zhenren nodded.

After contacting Cyan Wind Zhenren, Profound Thunder Zhenren, bringing men gathered from the family, returned directly to Fengming Mountain.

"You six, patrol this area in two groups around the clock. Arrest any suspicious figures immediately."

Profound Thunder Zhenren arranged for six Foundation Establishment level subordinates to stay nearby.

Although certain that Shen Wang, with his family in tow, wouldn’t foolishly run out, he wanted to prevent Shen Wang from going out to acquire resources, which would increase the difficulty of breaking the array.

"I’ve been away for only a few days. It shouldn’t be possible for him to have acquired another array in that time, right?"

Profound Thunder Zhenren looked at the ancestral house. He wasn’t sure whether Shen Wang originally had an array or went out to buy one.

Returning home to craft a second batch of talismans, Shen Wang noticed Profound Thunder Zhenren had brought people. He discretely observed the six Foundation Establishment level individuals.

Seeing these people act in groups of three with Profound Thunder Zhenren nearby, Shen Wang abandoned his idea of a surprise attack, planning instead to continue secretly using a tunnel to go in and out for resource acquisition.

First, make the ancestral home’s defenses impregnable before considering any offensive moves.

Half a month later, Shen Wang completed a new batch of talismans.

After selling a batch last time, he exchanged part for various spirit stones needed, and the rest for talisman paper and rune liquid, ensuring abundant materials.

As a result, this time he made hundreds of talismans, enough to trade for another top-grade array.

He went to the Lingxi Sect Market to purchase a better quality upper-level array.

This time it went smoothly, and after confirming he wasn’t discovered, Shen Wang went out every half month.

The resources at home became extremely plentiful, with many spirit stones and arrays accumulated by Shen Wang.

Two months later, Shen Wang cautiously returned from his fifth outing.

He thought joyfully that with the new set of arrays added, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator shouldn’t be able to easily break in.

Upon reaching the tree hollow, he felt many people had come to the mountain.

Startled, Shen Wang hastened back through the tunnel and, upon reaching the ancestral home, spread his thoughts outward to investigate.

Outside, not only were there more people, but also a cultivator who gave him a sense of oppression.

Golden Core level!

Shen Wang’s heart sank slightly. A second Golden Core had arrived, but fortunately, he was prepared.
