Chapter 3963 Opening a Channel

“Wu Jie, I heard from Chi Lang that you are a disciple of the Feng Shui King. The magic array surrounding Qian Yuan Temple is extremely complex. We have already called over experts from the Maoshan Sect who specialize in magic arrays. The progress in breaking the array is very slow. Why don’t you go and help out? Maybe you can break the array as soon as possible.” Master Longtian looked at me.

“The formation doesn’t necessarily need to be broken. We just need to open a gap so we can get in. My biggest concern right now is that we don’t have enough manpower. Yi Guan Dao must have sent a lot of experts this time. I hope Master Longtian can inform Maoshan Sect to send some more experts to support them. Ideally, the sect leader could also come.” I said very solemnly.

However, Master Longtian said, "I have already summoned all the strongest experts from the Xing Hall of our Maoshan Sect. Is that not enough?"

"Not enough, Master Longtian. To be honest, we came from Qixia Temple in Jinling City. The special investigation team received information that the Yiguandao people were going to take action against the Buddha's relics at Qixia Temple, so the main force of the special investigation team was stationed in Jinling City. In fact, this was just a smokescreen deliberately released by the Yiguandao. Their real target is the students of the Taoist academy in Qianyuan Temple. In other words, the main force of the Yiguandao is in Qianyuan Temple. They are determined to succeed in this operation. Perhaps the Left Protector Peng Lingxiao is here. His cultivation level is at the high level of the Upper Immortal Realm. Without a top expert of the Upper Immortal Realm to protect us, we probably won't be able to get past this hurdle." I said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Tatsuta Masato's expression immediately changed, and he then asked again, "Why isn't the main force of the Special Investigation Team coming?"

"The experts from the First Pass over there have already engaged the Special Investigation Team at Qixia Temple with the Demon-Summoning Flag. The main force of the Special Investigation Team can't get away for the time being, so a few of us came here ahead of time. You should contact the Sect Leader quickly, maybe Bai Maitreya's clone will also be here." I urged anxiously.

"Alright, I will inform the sect leader. I'll leave the matter of this formation to you for now." Longtian Zhenren said, taking out a communication talisman from his person and calling over more powerful experts from the Maoshan Sect.

I then led Yuan Kong towards the place shrouded in white mist.

Before we even got close, Kassan suddenly appeared beside me.

When I saw Kasang arrive, I was overjoyed: "Kasang, how is the situation at Qixia Temple?"

“After you left, I stayed for a while longer. The situation at Qixia Temple has stabilized for now, but we’ll still be busy for a while. The demonic banner has released too many ferocious beasts, and some members of the special investigation team are already heading this way,” Kassan told me.

"Okay, I'll break the formation first. Brother Yu will probably be here soon. Once the formation is broken, things will be much easier," I said seriously.

“I can’t help with this. You guys carry on with your work. I’ll go meet up with Brother Gu and the others.” Kasang said, and then vanished into the void once again.

When Yuan Kong and I arrived at the edge of the magic array, we saw several members of the special investigation team and three or four old Taoist priests from the Maoshan Sect busy at work, all of them looking worried.

"Gentlemen, have you found the core of the formation?" I asked, leaning closer.

The group of people all turned their heads and looked in my direction.

"Grandmasters, let me introduce you. This is Li Xuantong's disciple, the Feng Shui King, who is here to help you break the formation. The little monk next to him is the disciple of Zen Master Jueming, the Southern Monk, who is also proficient in Feng Shui formations." The slovenly Taoist priest hurriedly introduced my and Yuan Kong's identities.

The old Taoist priest from Maoshan Sect, who had initially looked down on us, immediately changed his expression after hearing the slovenly Taoist priest introduce my and Yuankong's identities.

One of the old Taoist priests sighed and said, "This formation is very strange. We can't find the core of the formation at all. However, we can tell that it is just a trapping formation. There is no danger inside. We have been studying it for a long time, but we dare not take a step in, for fear of getting lost in the formation."

"What kind of magic array is this? I've never seen one like it before..." one of the special investigation team members chimed in.

"It's probably a formation technique taught to them by Bai Mile. Breaking the formation will be quite difficult." The slovenly Taoist shook his head helplessly.

Bai Mile received personal instruction from Mao Gu, the founder of the Maoshan sect, who specialized in the study of magic arrays.

If it was a magic array set up at the behest of White Maitreya, breaking it would not be easy.

However, I didn't intend to break through the formation set up by the people of Yiguandao. After hesitating for a moment, I took out the Eight-Foot Jade Orb and floated it above my and Yuan Kong's heads. I said to the people behind me, "You guys wait here. Yuan Kong and I will go in and set up a formation within a formation to see if we can open a passage straight into Qianyuan Temple."

"You must be careful. This magic array is ever-changing and all-encompassing. If you take one wrong step, you will be trapped inside and die," an old Taoist priest kindly warned.

"Don't worry, we have experience."

With a shout, Yuan Kong and I plunged directly into the white mist. Under the protection of the Yasakani no Magatama, the white mist quickly receded to both sides.

Then, I cast several guiding talismans, which quickly disappeared into the billowing white mist.

Being inside the magic array, one can clearly feel its unusual nature.

In a typical magic array, the Qi field is relatively stable. However, after entering this magic array, the Qi field exhibits abnormal fluctuations. The rhythm of the rolling white mist is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the Qi field is sometimes fierce and sometimes calm. This indicates that the magic array is constantly changing and operating.

It's impossible to break this kind of formation in a short time because there's no pattern to follow. Even a simple trap formation is quite troublesome.

It's like shooting at a target. If the target is not fixed properly, there is still hope of hitting it. But if the target is erratic, moving fast and slow, even the best marksman will miss the bullseye.

Therefore, the simplest and most effective method is to ignore the operation of this magic array, directly pave a path within the array, and see if it can extend to Qian Yuan Temple.

After a general assessment, Yuan Kong and I began to work. The slovenly Taoist priest, who also knew some techniques of magic arrays, assisted Yuan Kong and me.

With the Eight-Foot Jade Ornament present, the Qi field around us can be stabilized temporarily, so there's no need to worry too much about us getting lost in the magic array.

Time is of the essence; someone could die every minute or second. If we are a minute faster, we could save more lives.

Yuan Kong guided us from the front, while I kept taking out various protective objects from the Dragon-Tiger Mirror to set up arrays within arrays and handed them to the slovenly Taoist priest. Together, we quickly set up the array and carved out a narrow passage through the layers of mist.
