Chapter 50: Array Master (Second Update)
The story splits into two threads. On this side, Yi Chi is enjoying the sweetness of love, while on the other side, Yi Yun has gathered all the elders of the Yi family to discuss the news brought by Yi Chi.
......
In the middle of the Yi family's main hall.
All the elders sat in their seats with a puzzled expression, looking at Yiyun with confusion.
Yi Yun looked around and saw that everyone had arrived, then respectfully said something to an elderly man standing beside him.
The old man nodded.
"Elder gentlemen, please calm down for a moment. Let Elder Liu set up a boundary first before we discuss the main issue." Yi Yun said in a loud and clear voice. As soon as he spoke, the puzzled elders all became serious.
It's unlikely to be a trivial matter if it requires setting up a boundary to discuss.
All that could be seen was the old man known as Liu Lao, who stretched out his hands and moved his ten fingers nimbly, shooting beams of light in different colors to every corner of the great hall, forming a complete circle around it.
After all the light beams had fallen, Liu Lao changed his gesture again, and a series of extremely complex hand seals were released. The corners that were originally hit by the light beams all lit up with colorful lights.
In an instant, a completely transparent canopy enveloped the entire hall. From the outside, it was a blank space, as if the entire hall had vanished.
He withdrew his gesture, Liu Lao seemed to be very satisfied and nodded, then smiled at Yi Yun before sitting down, closing his eyes to meditate, seemingly not intending to say anything else.
Yi Yun was also used to seeing strange things, this Liu old man, if calculated by generation, was from the same era as his grandfather, when he became famous, he had not been born yet, coming to the Yi family was also because of his grandfather Yi Ba Tian's face, although his own strength was not particularly strong, but after all, he was a Dou Wang level figure, more importantly, this Liu old man was also a terrifying array master.
When Liu became famous a hundred years ago, he also relied on that one hand of shocking and earth-shattering formation. I don't know how many Dou Zong-level powerhouses his formation killed. At that time, he was just a Dou Ling after all, which shows how terrifying the formation is.
Even if Rui Yun had eight hundred guts, he wouldn't dare be disrespectful to the old man. If the old man got angry, the Rui family could say goodbye to their existence, it's even more terrifying than offending a fierce emperor.
The elderly man sitting there didn't know what kind of person the host's Liu Laoxian was, but looking at that incredible array method, he knew this person wasn't simple. Moreover, since everyone couldn't see Liu Lao's cultivation level, they didn't dare to speak loudly.
On this continent, formation masters are a very rare profession. They don't need to have too much cultivation, whether they are internal energy cultivators or magicians, anyone can become a formation master. However, if you want to achieve something, then it depends on whether you have that kind of insight.
The way of the formation is a path that requires extraordinary insight and countless hours of accumulation, without which one cannot achieve anything. This has led to a scarcity of formation masters on the continent, and even those with minor achievements are often sought after by various families. Of course, if someone is unwilling, they will not be forced to serve as a formation master, because opposing a formation master is a very foolish thing to do. If one day you wake up to find your home surrounded by formations, it can only mean that you have offended a formation master, and losing face is a small matter compared to losing one's life.
Of course, throughout the continent, famous array masters are basically either powerful individuals themselves or have been recruited by powerful forces. After all, array techniques require not only time and energy but also resources, in other words, money and power.
Without money or power, it is quite difficult to achieve good results. At least, I have not heard of anyone who has achieved good results under such circumstances.
And he, Liu Lao, was the eldest elder of the Liu family from Tongyuan City, ten million miles away. This time in Piaoyu City, one reason was to visit his old friend Yi Batian, and the other was to travel across the continent, hoping to make a major breakthrough in array techniques again. Closing the door to create a carriage is not feasible, going around and talking about it may also lead to sudden enlightenment.
And he himself also has the strength of a nine-star Dou Wang, and is on the verge of breaking through, possibly advancing to the ranks of the Dou Zong at any time. Furthermore, with his array, few people can defeat him below the Dou Huang level.
As for the Liu family, they are different from the Yi family. The Liu family has five Supreme Elders, and the other four have cultivation at the Dou Zong level. In Tongyuan City, they are a dominant force, and even the City Lord's Manor does not dare to confront them. This time, he came out without fear of anything happening to his own family. It is worth noting that the Liu family has a powerful array protecting it, which even an ordinary Dou Huang cannot break through. Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about anything at all.
But even the powerful Liu family can only rank among the top ten of the first-rate families in the Xiang Tian Empire, and not even reach the first position, let alone those super families. The depth of the top ten super families will never be easily revealed, but even their apparent strength is not comparable to that of a first-rate family. Just one of those Dou Emperor-level strongmen can easily destroy those powerful first-rate families, they are simply not on the same level.
It can be seen that Yi Yun's move this time is not a small matter, and if it is not handled properly, it may bring the Yi family to the brink of disaster.
He couldn't help but say that he didn't take it seriously.
......
"Elderly gentlemen, the matter I want to discuss today concerns the life and death of our family, so I hope everyone can put aside their past prejudices and make an effort for the sake of the family." Yi Yun said with utmost seriousness.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at them, and they all nodded in agreement.
It seems things have gotten serious! Everyone thought so.
After seeing that everyone had given enough attention, Yi Yun Bian slowly said...
"That's how things are, let's discuss it, what should we do?" Yiyun said after finishing speaking.
"Is this true, master of the house?" The newly appointed elder asked, his expression also full of surprise and doubt.
"Ah!!!" He sighed, and Yi Yunhe couldn't help but think that maybe it was Yi Chi who had made a mistake. However, he also sent someone to investigate, but the result was that everything was true.
"I've investigated, and it seems that the Hua and Zhan families don't intend to hide their identities either. The Hua family has already moved into the Mu residence, I suppose everyone knows that the Mu family is a subordinate family of the Hua family! And as for the Zhan family, they reside in the Qingyun Pavilion." Yiyun said.
Upon hearing Yi Yun's affirmation, the elder group was in an uproar. It couldn't be blamed on them, who would dare to provoke such a terrifying super family? When dealing with this top-notch family, it was no different from looking at ants.
Don't look at the Mu family as a subsidiary of the Hua family, in fact, that's just a nice way to put it. To be blunt, they're nothing but the Hua family's dog, and what's more, this dog has poor teeth, making them an entirely dispensable role. If not for the fact that the Hua family doesn't take the Mu family seriously, then even if the Yi family had a million times more courage, they wouldn't dare to compete with the Mu family over anything. It's precisely because the Hua family looks down on the Mu family that the Mu family can only be considered one of the four major families, rather than being the sole ruler of Fengyu City.
"House owner, don't you think we should go visit the people of Hua and Zhan families?" One of the elderly men sitting there suggested, seemingly with a hint of wanting to flatter the two families.
Unfortunately, Yi Yun did not plan to do so.
Shaking his head, Yi Yun directly vetoed this proposal and looked at the other elders again, hoping they had some good ideas.
"This is going to be tough!" Several elders all sighed.
Yi Yun listened and then rolled her eyes, silently cursing the old fox before she began to think quietly.
Inside the hall, it was suddenly quiet, with a hint of autumn wind and the chill of the Yi River, evoking the feeling that once a hero leaves, he will never return.
To put it bluntly, it's a bit tragic.
What's going on? Is Yi Jia going to be destroyed after all?
Liu Lao let out a sigh as he sat on one side with his eyes closed.
It seems like this family is very disunited!! Nobody wants to take that risk, and even if someone just proposes an opinion, nobody dares to say it.
Alas, wasn't it the same with the Liu family?
Is this perhaps the sorrow of the weak? Everything is dominated by the strong.
At this point, Liu Lao had a strong urge to kill everyone, but he silently cursed his bad luck and calmed down, entering a state of enlightenment.
Time seems to be slipping away just like this...
