CHAPTER 1826: CHAPTER 1829: TEN THOUSAND THUNDER EXORCISM ARRAY

"If you don’t scram, I’ll kill every last one of you!"

Ling Xiao’s voice was icy and chilling, devoid of any emotion, as if it emanated from the depths of Nine Nether Hell.

"Do you know what you’re doing?"

The woman roared.

"I’ll give you three breaths to disappear from my sight, otherwise I’ll start killing."

Ling Xiao extended three fingers and looked coldly at the proud and angry woman, speaking indifferently.

He simply didn’t believe that the Four Great Families of Wanlei Deadland could be stronger than the Four Great Empires or stronger than the Zhengyi Sect.

If he even feared these so-called Four Great Clans, how could he talk about unifying the White Tiger Continent?

As a ruler, he could not lack dominance, nor could he be afraid!

"Three."

Ling Xiao retracted one finger, his gaze still icy.

The woman stepped back, hesitating whether to leave.

Clearly, these three were strong, and they might not be a match for them.

But turning and leaving like this, would it be too humiliating?

After all, they were from the Cangjing Family!

"Two!"

Ling Xiao’s gaze and expression remained unchanged, simply retracting a second finger.

"Attack together, kill them for me!"

The woman ultimately didn’t want to lose face, waved her hand, and shouted at the dozens of people behind her.

"Yes!"

Following her command, dozens of crossbow arrows shot through the air, completely enclosing Ling Xiao and the other two.

Still, Ling Xiao didn’t move.

Lan Xue’s body emitted an astonishing cold, forming a round ice shield that enveloped the three of them. The crossbow arrows hit the ice shield but couldn’t penetrate an inch.

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, the woman finally understood the disparity in power between the enemies and herself; she knew she couldn’t wait any longer and had to leave, otherwise, she feared she would die here today.

"One!"

At this moment, Ling Xiao’s cold voice rang out.

Then a shadow swept through the air.

Leng Mei made her move.

The woman suddenly felt that the dozens of people around her collapsed instantly.

Her heart was filled with terror, and she could only flee desperately, fearing the terrifying assassin would stab her with the sharp blade.

"Bang!"

A figure blocked Leng Mei’s short blade aimed at the woman, then seized the opportunity to grab the woman and flee to the distance.

"You three better listen up, offend people from the Cangjing Family, and you’re dead!"

The woman, finally saved and retaining her life, evidently hadn’t learned her lesson.

As she fled through the air, she continued to threaten Ling Xiao.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao’s face immediately turned gloomy.

During the White Tiger Summit, he had planned a strategy of avoiding trouble.

He feared delaying important matters.

But now it seems plans couldn’t keep up with changes.

Instead of cautiously suppressing himself, he might as well face things boldly.

Even if he were to die, it should be a glorious death,

not like a coward, dying without any dignity.

"Master, that person just now seemed to be Cangjin Fei from the Tianhai Empire participating in the White Tiger Summit!"

Leng Mei returned to Ling Xiao’s side and whispered.

"Hmm, I noticed. This person’s aura is very similar to that of the woman in black I killed in the Tianhai City arena, most likely someone from the Cangjing Family too."

Ling Xiao frowned: "I didn’t expect enemies to appear one by one, huh."

"What shall we do, Master? Should we return to await the start of the White Tiger Summit, or continue with the previous plan?"

Leng Mei asked.

"Continue, if we’re even afraid of the trivial Cangjing Family, how could we contend with the Zhengyi Sect?"

Ling Xiao was ambitious, with grand aspirations.

He couldn’t be afraid of the small Cangjing Family. Although to others, this family might seem very powerful, compared to the Zhengyi Sect, they were nothing.

They couldn’t even compare to the Four Great Empires.

"Moreover, even if we retreat, they wouldn’t just let it go, right? Since troubles have come, let’s resolve them quickly; it’s better than delaying until the conference starts."

"Understood, Master."

Leng Mei nodded.

"Big brother, I didn’t perform well just now, I’m sorry."

Lan Xue suddenly said with her head lowered.

She was clearly embarrassed for not dodging the crossbows at the start.

"Silly girl, who could be a battle expert right from birth? The more you experience, the more you’ll adapt to such situations. Take it slow, no rush, you’re still young after all."

Ling Xiao smiled and then called Leng Mei and Lan Xue to continue moving forward.

While circling Wanlei Deadland earlier, he discovered something.

Wanlei Deadland appeared to be constructed from a massive Array Formation.

This Array Formation was so intricate and terrifying that even Ling Xiao’s Tai Chi Eye couldn’t fully comprehend it quickly.

And he discovered a fascinating detail: The place where the Cangjing Family was located seemed to be one of the formation gates of this massive array.

So he wondered if there were similar formation gates in the territories of the other Three Great Families.

These formation gates couldn’t be freely entered or exited, but abundant energy seeped out from them.

This was likely the reason the Four Great Temples were built in these four places.

After he spent almost a shichen circling all of Wanlei Deadland,

this idea was confirmed.

"This array is likely the legendary ’Ten Thousand Thunder Exorcism Array.’ The four formation gates can release astonishing nature’s spiritual energy, greatly beneficial for cultivation."

This was what the Yuan Venerate told Ling Xiao.

After all, in terms of Array Formations, the Yuan Venerate was the true expert.

And the bridges he had crossed were probably more numerous than the salt Ling Xiao had consumed.

His words naturally couldn’t be wrong.

"Ten Thousand Thunder Exorcism Array?"

It was the first time Ling Xiao heard of such an array.

"Indeed, it’s said this array was used to execute those Human Immortals who defected.

Back in the day, many Human Immortals couldn’t resist the allure of the Heavenly Demons and became their puppets. The King of People laid this array to execute them all here."

The Yuan Venerate answered.

"So, the so-called treasures in Wanlei Deadland are probably what these Human Immortals left behind after death, huh?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Perhaps, without entering, no one can be sure."

The Yuan Venerate replied uncertainly.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to speak further, he suddenly noticed a cloud of dust in the distance and birds calling in the sky.

They seemed to be aggressively coming towards them, as if seeking revenge.

"This place is full of people, and they still dare to make a move?"

Ling Xiao frowned. By this time, the three of them had circled Wanlei Deadland and arrived in a bustling area; though it wasn’t the central camp nor Surprise Thunder City,

there were at least tens of thousands of Martial Artists traveling from north and south. The Cangjing Family’s people causing trouble all the way here, they were truly arrogant.
