Chapter 461: Chapter 44 Five Dragons Imprison Array_2

After all, he had heard of the ‘Five Dragons Imprison Array’, a large defensive formation with extremely powerful defensive capabilities. Within the Chu Dynasty, many well-to-do noble clans would buy a set when they could afford it.

Of course, it was extremely potent, but it required a lot of resources as well.

Not only Class IV materials, but also Class I, II, and III were needed.

The quantity was staggering.

If the Five Dragons Imprison Array of Yanqiao Pass was damaged, and if House of Prince Gao’s resources were insufficient, they could only ask for resources from a local sect.

Thinking of this, he could only grit his teeth and nod, saying, “Give it to them! Whatever Huifeng Valley gives, we give double!”

“Yushan, you personally escort them!”

Qiao Yushan promptly complied and was about to leave.

“Wait!”

Lin Boyue frowned slightly.

“Yan Qing willingly requested to be in charge of the formation… You alone going doesn’t truly represent the sincerity of our sect… How is Song Fenglei’s recovery now?”

At the mention of this name, a hint of sorrow flashed in Qiao Yushan’s eyes. He bowed slightly, “Informing the Sect Master, Song Fenglei… his injuries are severe. If there is no upper grade healing pills for treatment, I’m afraid it won’t be long before his realm falls…”

Song Fenglei was the former sect master of Wujing School.

He was caught with Qiao Yushan and degraded to be an enforcer cultivator for the Xuli Sect.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Boyue didn’t show any reaction on his face, he just frowned more deeply, “What about Peng Jiahai?”

“Mr. Peng is showing signs of improvement, but he has not left his retreat yet.”

Seeing Lin Boyue ignoring Song Fenglei’s situation entirely, the hint of disappointment and resentment in Qiao Yushan’s eyes became more noticeable.

However, he didn’t dare to show any of it.

“Then…”

Lin Boyue frowned as he was preparing to speak.

Suddenly, a slightly weak voice rose up.

“Sect Master, cough, let me go.”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Boyue already knew the identity of the newcomer. He frowned even more, “Junior Brother Zhuang, you’ve just recovered from your injury. It’s not a good idea for you to exert yourself.”

Zhuang Yi flew straight up.

Compare to before his injury, Zhuang Yi now looked much thinner. Without using his mana to shield him, the sweeping air was ruffling Zhuang Yi’s large robes, revealing his gaunt body.

His face was not the healthy redness that a Golden Core should have. Instead, it was pale and weak without even a hint of blood.

Yet in his eyes, there was a newfound clarity like never before.

Seeing Lin Boyue, he bowed slightly as he coughed, but Lin Boyue waved his mana to stop with a frown:

“Enough, there is no need to adhere to formalities.”

“Yes.”

Zhuang Yi didn’t insist and stood up. His gaze swept over Qiao Yushan who was standing on the side. A weak smile flashed across his face:

“Friend Qiao, I wonder if you could inform the people below to prepare the spirit materials for House of Prince Gao…”

Qiao Yushan promptly retreated, understanding the intention.

Lin Boyue didn’t stop him but only slightly frowned.

“You want to go to Yanqiao Pass?”

“I can’t hide anything from brother.”

Zhuang Yi showed a smile when his thoughts were revealed. He coughed twice before saying:

“Brother, I heard your conversation with Qiao Yushan.”

“I understand Brother’s intention. After all, Qiao Yushan is an outsider and can’t represent our Xuli Sect. Yan Qing from Huifeng Valley is so actively cooperating, probably planning to perform well in front of Princess Gao, in order to curry favor with House of Prince Gao.”

“We’ve already offended Prince Gao. If we can’t seize this opportunity to perform well, I fear our days ahead will be even more difficult.”

“I may not be strong, but I am a Golden Core from the Xuli Sect. Going to Yanqiao Pass with Qiao Yushan can clearly show the stance and attitude of the Xuli Sect.”

Listening to Zhuang Yi’s words, there was a flicker of surprise and hesitation in Lin Boyue’s eyes as he looked at Zhuang Yi.

“Brother, why did you…”

“Why do you seem smarter?”

Zhuang Yi laughed at himself before sighing, “I had heard my master say, only after severe illness can one attain enlightenment. After being struck by the Sword Cultivator, I was at death’s door, but it was a blessing in disguise. My mind is now clearer than ever.”

Saying this, he bowed sincerely to Lin Boyue:

“For all these years, brother has been very forgiving with me.”

Seeing Zhuang Yi’s demeanor, there was no hiding the joy and relief in Lin Boyue’s eyes:

“I am relieved to see your change, brother.”

“But you haven’t fully recovered. You shouldn’t push yourself. If it won’t do, I’ll send Song Fenglei over…”

Before he could finish, Zhuang Yi cut him off with a slight shake of his head:

“Song Fenglei and Qiao Yushan are not our sect’s disciples. Such an important matter can’t be entrusted to outsiders… What’s more, my injury has not healed yet. It only further emphasizes our sect’s current difficulties and it can also show Princess Gao our sincerity.”

“But you…”

Lin Boyue looked hesitant.

“Brother, don’t hesitate any longer. Who fails to act will suffer, we cannot afford to lament for inaction only after Huifeng Valley takes the precedent!”

“Who fails to act…”

Lin Boyue couldn’t help but repeat the phrase as his eyes gradually hardened.

Then he looked at Zhuang Yi and bowed deeply.

“May you return safely, brother!”

…

Boom!

The loud noise suddenly pierced the formation on the outside and erupted in Tang Ji’s house.

Wang Ba and Zhao Feng were both jolted by the loud noise and rushed out of their rooms immediately.

They then saw a scene that would be hard to forget.

The huge, transparent, spherical light shield over Yanqiao Pass was being bombarded with countless rays of light, which were silently blocked by the light shield.
