Chapter 242: 242

Suddenly, silhouettes emerge from all directions in the mountains endlessly, and there were nearly a hundred people in total.

Lou Mu Yan swept the cultivation bases of the people who had come. Most of them were in Middle-Phase Sword Monarch Stage, while the leaders were at Peak-Phase Sword Monarch Stage, and one of them was an old acquaintance—Ji Yu.

“Ji Yu, a disowned dog like you sure made a huge commotion this time. What are you trying to do this time?” Si Nan opened his folding fan gaudily with a smile and took a step forward, casually scanning the group of leaders.

Ji Yu disliked Si Nan the most—a vicious tongue and cruel heart that specifically attacked other people’s sore spots.

“Si Nan, if you don’t want to cause trouble, then take your people and leave first.” Ji Yu was still very afraid of this gaudy man.

He found out that Si Nan usually didn’t like to bother with other people’s business, so he wanted to kick these people away first. Then he would deal with Si Nan after getting rid of Lou Mu Yan and the others.

Si Nan naturally knew Ji Yu’s intentions. Not to mention that he was very interested in Lou Mu Yan right now, even if he wasn’t interested, just based on the fact that she could cure the poison, he wouldn’t ignore this.

“Ji Yu, are you blind?” Seeing Ji Yu’s expression darken, Si Nan felt very pleased, “Obviously it’s you who brought people to seek trouble from us, but you want to make a false counter charge?”

Ji Yu knew that Si Nan’s tongue was poisonous and powerful. He didn’t argue with him, and instead said to Lou Mu Yan’s group with a grim look: “Hand over your jade tablets, otherwise there will only be a dead end.”

The several people beside him looked at Lou Mu Yan with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. Another important reason for coming to snatch the jade tablets this time was because they also wanted to snatch the treasures this woman owned.

They heard that she had a lot of Grade 3 pills, and that golden Saint Tool was especially rumoured to be exceptionally miraculous, not only able to divide into numerous flying swords and become a Sword Array, but it could even devour other Magic Tools.

Although they weren’t completely convinced, but they couldn’t stop the greed and desire in their hearts. If that Saint Tool really was so miraculous, it would be a waste for Lou Mu Yan, a Sword Master from a small kingdom, to own it.

“Pfft, Ji Yu, your head must’ve been caught between a door.” Luo Li folded his arms with a bit of contempt in his eyes, “Although you have more than twice as many of us, but do you think that these rabble can make us surrender our identity jade tablets?”

Ji Yu’s eyes revealed some killing intent—this Luo Li was too annoying.

“Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit1, then don’t blame us if you die.” Since he dared to incite the other teams of large and medium-sized kingdoms to intercept and kill Luo Li and the others, then he naturally came prepared.

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows when she saw Ji Yu and the other leaders looking as if they were bound to win. These people must have made some preparations.

As she thought, the leaders like Ji Yu suddenly took a few steps back and an Array Banner appeared in the hands of a black-clothed woman with a veil beside him.

“Sacrifice!” The woman’s voice was hoarse and dull, sounding as if she had already passed her twilight years.

The Array Banner in her hand then turned into a black arc and flew into the sky. The black banner gradually unfolded, and a sinister wind came from within it.

Then she stamped a few Taoist Seals onto the long, black, narrow Array Banner.

Instantly, the long, narrow Array Banner flashed with black light and a sinister wind surrounded the entire forest together with mournful, shrill weeping.

The smell of blood began to spread in all directions and layers of scarlet mist also burst from within the Array Banner, mixed with the bloody scent, causing many people to turn pale.

“What sort of Iniquitous Skill is this?” He’lian Lie asked with caution.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed a bit of solemnity, “The place we stand on has already been arranged with an Array by them.”

“What Array? That Array Banner looks so evil.” Si Nan took a step back, feeling that the sinister aura and bloody scent from that Array Banner was too strong, making him feel uncomfortable.

Not only did he feel this way. Everyone present except Ji Yu’s people felt a sense of disgust, and the irritability in their hearts was drawn out a little bit.

[PU CHI! PU CHI!] There was an inexplicable sound that kept resounding.

Suddenly, one by one, grey-white bones emerged from underground, revealing their bodies little by little, then eventually turned into skeletons, jadedly walking towards Lou Mu Yan and the others with a sinister aura.

“It’s really a Bone Array.” Lou Mu Yan said coldly.

“Bone Array? Do you know this Array?” He’lian Lie felt that the aura of the corpse skeletons that were constantly emerging from the ground weren’t weak at all.

“Bone Array, also known as the Fire Devil Array, is a kind of evil, sinister and vicious Array among the Array Skills.”

Lou Mu Yan paused, then continued: “The Array Master who arranged the Array must first throw most of the people into a medicinal liquid to soak, then heat the liquid, boil them alive, then attach Souls with a sinister aura and resentment onto the bones of the deceased, finally collecting it into an Array Banner to form an Array, using corpse aura to raise it.

“The Souls of those who were killed, and the resentful Souls the Array Master collected would then turn into nourishment for the Array Banner. When the Bone Array activates, then the raised bones would emerge to form an attack source for the Array.

“Those who know Buddhist Methods, recite the scriptures that help release souls from suffering. The rest, protect the Spiritual Platform2 in your Sea of Consciousness. The bloody fog in the Array has the effect of creating illusions.”

After Lou Mu Yan finished speaking, she turned to Ling Fei Yang and said: “Elder Cousin Brother, do you know the scriptures for dispelling dark beings?”

“Yes.” Ling Fei Yang nodded: “Younger Cousin Sister, don’t worry, I’ll help protect everyone’s Spiritual Platform.”

“Si Nan, He’lian Lie, Luo Li, Luo Ye, the four of you go to the four directions of Zhen, Kan, Gen, Dui3 to guard. Don’t allow a single skeleton in here.”

Lou Mu Yan turned her head again and said to the others: “You all close up your Spiritual Sense and Mental Energy and divide into four groups to help kill the skeletons. Remember to cut off their legs and feet.”

She didn’t expect Ji Yu to invite someone with such high attainments in Arrays to arrange a Devil Array, but luckily the other party’s cultivation base was only at Initial-Phase Sword Monarch, and the Array Banner had yet to be upgraded, otherwise it would be troublesome to break the Array today.

She stretched out her hands and kept changing her hand gestures. One after another, jade-coloured runes leapt out of her palm to form a rune belt that wound around her.

“Lou Mu Yan, what are you doing?” Luo Li pressed his lips together and asked, revealing worry in his eyes.

This kind of Array gave them a very strange feeling, and it was probably not easy to deal with.

Lou Mu Yan patted his shoulder and said with a light smile: “I’ll break the Array, don’t worry, little wild cat.”

Luo Li nodded and didn’t care about her calling him ‘little wild cat’. In fact, he liked this nickname deep down, “You have to be careful.”

“Mm!”

Seeing her confidence and brilliance, Luo Li lowered his head and smiled. Then he turned and walked towards the Gen position, wielding his sword, and began to kill the skeletons that kept emerging.

Ling Fei Yang sat cross-legged, removed the string of beads—that Lou Mu Yan gifted—from his wrist and kept turning it as paragraphs of complicated and obscure scriptures came out of his mouth.

Circles of extremely pale golden light spread from his body and the bloody red mist retreated as if it had encountered its nemesis.

The mournful weeping in the forest grew louder and louder, forming a depressing and eerie atmosphere. Even the Elders of the Six Major Sects sitting in the central castle had serious expressions on their faces.

1meaning to choose to take the harder route instead of the easy route, basically. Can be said in this situation as a means of threat, or, for example, said to someone that was beaten up after choosing the harder route. Like ‘I gave you a chance, but you chose this route instead’.

2ok. My last explanation said this ‘Spiritual Platform’ might literally be a platform blocking one’s cultivation base from advancing. But clearly, that isn’t it. And I just did a little more research into what ‘灵台’ was and found that it’s just another dated term for the word ‘Soul, Spirit’ etc. So, yeah, I’ll correct my explanation in a previous chapter… eventually XD Forgive me as it’s my first time translating anything to such an extent so I might be unfamiliar with certain terms XD.

3they are four different locations of the Eight Trigrams, each representing something different. You can search up Eight Trigrams and see an easy visual representation. Decided to start putting pictures so it’s down below. XD But I have seen variations of the ‘Eight Trigrams’ aka ‘Ba Gua’, and this is the one I found that was easiest to understand for people. Usually it’s black and white though. I don’t know how accurate the meanings behind it are though.
