The roaring sound of Star Power within the array suddenly ceased, leaving everyone outside momentarily stunned.
"Could it have ended? Impossible, so soon!"
"But Ge Yun hasn’t come out yet, what’s going on?"
Mo Yanqing raised an eyebrow, equally unsure, and focused his spirit toward the array.
Yet, after waiting for a good while, there was neither new movement nor any sign of Ge Yun emerging!
Yao Peng, filled with doubt, said, "Could... could it be that Ge Yun, who escaped from Taishang Sect’s pursuit, is really gone just like that?
Is it possible... that Ge Yun killed the master of the array? After all, he’s naturally skilled in assassination and could possibly kill with a single strike."
Mo Yanqing’s eyes showed contemplation as he thought this seemed more reasonable.
"That’s not right." However, Ji Yi shook his head directly, a complex expression on his face, "It’s indeed Ge Yun who is dead!"
Ji Yi could clearly feel the curse linked with the person inside the array was still intact.
Yao Peng hurriedly asked, "Ji Yi, are you certain?"
"Would I deceive you? If the person inside the array was really killed... and truly couldn’t match Ge Yun, I’d be relieved... well," realizing his words were somewhat inappropriate, Ji Yi coughed twice.
Hearing Ji Yi’s confirmation, Yao Peng swallowed and looked again at the great formation in front of him, secretly thankful that he hadn’t rushed in impulsively.
Mo Yanqing took a deep breath, furrowed his brow, and asked, "Friend Ji, what exactly is going on inside there?"
Ji Yi shook his head with a smile, "Friend Yao, as I’ve already mentioned, I’m here under someone’s constraints.
For the sake of my life, I can’t say much... but I can tell you both, even if I don’t say anything, you’ll find out sooner or later."
"We’ll know sooner or later?" Hearing this, Mo Yanqing thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and neither entered the great formation nor retreated, "Then I’ll rest for a bit and see what’s happening."
Ji Yi stopped speaking after that, aware that neither Mo Yanqing nor Yao Peng would give up easily.
In truth, Ji Yi himself felt rather conflicted.
He hoped someone could stop Su Yuan, but feared if Su Yuan was defeated, he might remember to take Ji Yi with him, which would really be unlucky...
In the blink of an eye, another two or three days passed, and more people gathered outside the array.
Not only did experts from large and small sects of the Southern Continent arrive, but forces from all over the East Continent also grew numerous, with at least seven or eight Radiant Moon Level experts present in the field.
However, since Ge Yun entered, three more people ignored Ji Yi’s warning and intruded into the formation one after another.
But unexpectedly, after the recurring roars from the array, not a single person emerged again.
With water light covering the sky, entering meant certain death, and the more people gathered, the fewer dared to venture inside!
Then, a cultivator carrying an array plate suddenly discovered something and exclaimed, "Hmm? The Earth Qi is dissipating!"
Mo Yanqing’s pupils contracted as he quickly asked, "Friend Gongsun, what’s happening!"
Gongsun Yue, at the Waning Moon Stage, was a renowned loose cultivator skilled in divination and mysterious arts.
This person was quite famous in the Southern Continent’s cultivation world, with divination skills matching that of most Yixian Dao disciples.
"One moment, let me confirm!"
Gongsun Yue rapidly manipulated his divination abacus, and within moments, wisps of Earth Qi slowly rose from below, wrapping around the abacus.
Seemingly confirming something, Gongsun Yue’s expression changed, "We are currently at the Tiger Vein of this fragment of the Ancient World. However, it’s now weakening, dissipating, and heading towards destruction, likely due to the action of the person inside the array!"
"What? You say the Tiger Vein is dissipating!" Mo Yanqing asked, "Friend Gongsun, are you sure?"
Gongsun Yue nodded solemnly, "I’m certain, and since there’s only one Tiger Vein here, the impact is substantial. It might not be long before the entire fragment becomes affected!"
Mo Yanqing immediately recalled Ji Yi’s earlier words, "you’ll find out sooner or later," and quickly stepped towards the front of the array to ask Ji Yi, "Friend Ji, is the person inside truly destroying the Tiger Vein?"
Ji Yi looked at the two without nodding or shaking his head.
Yet this silence spoke volumes.
Mo Yanqing took a deep breath.
And Yao Peng couldn’t help but exclaim, "That person is audacious!"
Mo Yanqing frowned and asked Gongsun Yue, "Friend Gongsun, destroying a Tiger Vein should be extremely difficult without Burning Sun, right?"
Gongsun Yue replied, "Nearly impossible, yet not unachievable. Besides... although I’m not adept in array techniques, I can see that this person’s expertise in the Array Path is significant and capable of altering the Earth Qi’s configuration."
Yao Peng frowned and said, "This fragment is full of treasures and exotic beasts, capable of being exploited for months. How could we let someone destroy this Tiger Vein!"
Exploitation is essentially plundering.
All Star Card Masters who entered this fragment didn’t care about its ultimate fate, only about how much benefit they could extract, much like Su Yuan.
However, while the rest divided the spoils, Su Yuan intended to take the lion’s share for himself, potentially leaving nothing for others!
It was at this moment that the Green Flame and Purple Lightning treasure swords suddenly shot in from afar, landing in the field and revealing two distinct figures, one stout and one slender.
"Oh? It’s quite lively here, isn’t it?"
Mo Yanqing’s eyes squinted sharply, "The ’Purple and Blue Double Swords’ of the True Yang Sect!"
These two were the renowned Full Moon Level masters of the Sword Yang Lineage from the True Yang Sect, known together as the Purple and Blue Double Swords: Xu Chang and Gao Ge!
Even among all the Radiant Moon Level members of the True Yang Sect, their strength ranked in the top ten, and when combined, feared no equal
