Chapter 1017: Array Cracking
In the vast Blood Desert, the Immortal Rain Sect and Azure Wood Manor disciples that were trapped within were like two lone boats lost in turbulent seas They could capsize at any time
In that moment of peril, Granny Yin took out the Great Heavenly Compass as she tried to divine the path out of the Blood Desert
“Why did my disciple burn to death?”
The purple-robed elder was feeling agitated At the finalhis disciple a quick death
“I do not know either Although there are some descriptions of the Blood Desert in canon, it only ers are, the records aren’t that detailed,” said Granny Yin She had a deep sense of worry hanging over her face She had a feeling that over the hundreds of millions of years, the Door to the 33 Skies had experienced drastic changes after its disappearance The canon the Azure Wood Manor had froh It could even be possible that the Door to the 33 Skies was even erous as the Azure Wood Great World was on the brink of destruction
“Don’t you have the Great Heavenly Compass?” asked someone from the Azure Wood Manor separatists
“Although I have studied the Great Heavenly Compass for years, it cannot reerous zones that had detailed records in canon I’ainst this Blood Desert even with the Great Heavenly Compass”
Granny Yin’s words made everyone’s heart sink At that moment, the purple-robed elder stood forward as he took out a set of array flags fro
The array flags’ staffs were s were s were apparently living creatures that rithing in pain
One could tell that the purple-robed elder was feeling the pinch as he looked at those array flags They were his s had ‘flag spirits’ sealed in them They would slowly deplete with every use and it would be completely useless once it was used too many times
“Let me do it Since there is an array formation in the Blood Desert, I’ll use this trump card of mine that cracks arrays It should be effective”
Granny Yin hesitated for athe purple-robed elder study the situation Now that they were in peril, every additional person th What would happen if the purple-robed elder ?
The purple blood elder stuck the array flags into Blood Desert’s red sand He began to combine his Daoist arts as he studied the Blood Desert’s natural forces
And at thatthe Dao patterns around him that pervaded the Blood Desert They were forments of divine weapons that were destroyed in Blood Desert, carcasses of dead primordial creatures, or remnant laws
Yi Yun realized that the spots where the people had burned to their deaths were not because they had stepped onto the Dao patterns, but because they had stepped onto the nodes between Dao patterns
The distribution of the Blood Desert’s Dao patterns had its own regularity Three or four energy nodes would produce powerful forces that could vaporize people! Then…ould happen if he avoided the energy nodes?
After a long while, the purple-robed elder with his tightly knitted brows heaved a sigh of relief He wiped the tiny beads of sweat from his forehead as he said, “So that’s it! It should be that”
The purple-robed elder was htened
He did not look relaxed, but he had clearly ress
“Did you figure out so?” A disciple from the Azure Wood Manor separatists said anxiously
“The Blood Desert ht look endless, but it is actually not that expansive If we keep walking straight, there is no way to escape this zone Flying would not work either as it would be equivalent to suicide We can walk here There’s a path here that leads us out It crosses through the Blood Desert and all that’s needed is about a thousand steps”
“Just a thousand steps? It’s actually that short?”
The purple-robed elder pointed out a path as the Azure Wood Manor disciples remained unconvinced Many were fearful as no one dared to take a step
The purple-robed elder knitted his eyebrows into a stern look as he said, “Why? Does no one believe me?”
“How can it be?” Rooster laughed dryly He indeed was not confident of the purple-robed elder’s claims It was mainly because Blood Desert was just too odd He found it unbelievable that about a thousand steps were all that was needed to escape the land of death
Of course, he did not proclaiu has impressive attainments when it comes to array for We can’t let us Azure Wood Manor separatists undertake all the risk while people enjoy the labors of others by si behind”
As Rooster spoke, he glanced at Yi Yun He had long found Yi Yun an eyesore Furthermore, they wanted to probe the inner depths of the Door to the 33 Skies, so how could they bring an outsider along? It was et him to be the pathfinder It would only be a joy if he died
“What do you sha asked coldly as she stood in front of Yi Yun
“Nothing I’ friend to walk in front Our Elder Dagu has paid a nontrivial price in order to divine this path Just one use of Elder Dagu’s array flags would expend a portion of the flag spirits’ energy Do you kno great his loss was?”
“You want to follow us out at no cost? How can there be such a free ride in this world?”
Rooster’s words were immediately echoed by the Azure Wood Manor separatists The youth with his face covered in lion fur also stood forward and said, “That’s right All you need to do is be responsible for treading the path we found!”
Everyone looked at Yi Yun Even Yue Yingsha’s status was not useful based on the circumstances
Although they had a request that depended on Yue Yingsha, the dangers they were facing in Blood Desert was tremendous It was a problehts of exploring the Door to the 33 Skies to the back of their minds
“Punk, get over here and lead the way!” said Rooster in a queer manner He believed that Yi Yun had no other choice
Yi Yun flicked the red sand on his sleeves and said nonchalantly, “Did you just say that I will be following you out of the Blood Desert? You sure think highly of yourself I wouldn’t even be bothered to follow you even if you begged”
“What!?”
When Yi Yun said those words, it rily at hiantly!
“This little bastard is too arrogant Senior Brother Seven Plume, I’ll kill him!” A burly youth stood forward and was about to attack Yi Yun when he was stopped by Rooster He knew very well that fighting in the Blood Desert was no different fro suicide
