Chapter 185: Seeking Help
King Zining looked at his son in confusion. He did not know why his son said that.
“What for?”
“Stop asking. We don’t have much time. Hurry up and do as I say.”
“Alright!”
Although King Zining did not know why, he knew that his son was no longer someone he could control.
Now, other than cultivation level, his son had already completely surpassed him in all aspects.
King Zining quickly brought him to Ji Wuxia’s courtyard. Without saying a word, Ji Wushang immediately took out a top-grade spirit stone from his storage ring and placed it in the array core.
Lu Xiaoran had told him before that there was an array formation here in order to prevent any trouble from happening one day. He was told that if there was something he couldn’t resolve, he could come and hide here.
When the array formation was activated, the aura of the Martial Monarch Realm formation burst out, attracting several lightning bolts under the night sky.
“Damn!”
King Zining’s eyes widened. He did not expect that there would actually be a Martial Monarch Realm formation here. Moreover, from the aura, there were actually two of them?
What a joke!
It had to be known that the entire Great Zhou Imperial City itself was surrounded by a chain of Martial Monarch Realm formations.
Building a Martial Monarch Realm formation on top of another Martial Monarch Realm formation was unrealistic.
Unless the other party built the formation array underneath.
In this way, the skills required to pull that off needed to be extraordinary.
One would need to quietly disassemble the original chain array. Then, after setting up two array formations below, that person would also need to repair the original chain array of the Imperial City.
The other party was basically like a modern day medical surgeon, capable of conducting minimally invasive painless surgery techniques to transplant a patient’s organs.
It was extremely difficult!
That was why King Zining was so shocked!
“This… Could this Martial Monarch Realm formation be the work of Wuxia’s master?”
Ji Wushang nodded.
“It’s indeed made by Senior Lu. However, this array formation is a little rough. I think Senior Lu probably just casually set it up and definitely didn’t use his full strength. His array formation skills are far superior from this.”
King Zining’s face could not help but twitch fiercely.
What kind of joke was this?
This level of array formation was already extremely heaven-defying.
Other than him, there was probably no other array master of this level in the entire Great Zhou. In the end, his son actually told him that this was done casually by Lu Xiaoran and that he did not use his full strength?
Heavens, wasn’t this guy simply too heaven-defying?
Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that he had been unaware this whole time!
He had only learned that Lu Xiaoran was very powerful after the trial of the Ancient Forbidden Area. However, at that time, he only simply thought that Lu Xiaoran’s strength was very powerful. Never would he be able to guess that the other party’s attainments in array formations was actually also so powerful!
This guy was no longer human.
He was definitely not human.
However, a moment later, King Zining heaved a sigh of relief and revealed an excited expression.
“This is good. With the Martial Monarch Realm formation obstructing the other party, we should be able to stall for even longer.”
“That’s not right. These two array formations are both reduction array formations. It’s impossible for them to resist him. He has a Martial Monarch Realm weapon. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks through the array.”
“No… no way?”
King Zining swallowed. Just as he finished speaking, he saw his father, the old king of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace, fly to the side with a violent explosion behind him. His body was already covered in injuries, and his entire spirit was dispirited to the extreme.
Clearly, he had already been defeated.
“Father!”
King Zining clenched his fists tightly, but he was helpless. After all, he was only at the King Realm. In the entire Great Zhou, although he could also be considered an expert, he was simply an ant in front of the Grand Imperial Sire, who had an Emperor Realm cultivation and a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
To put it bluntly, he was not even qualified to carry the other party’s shoes.
At this moment, the Grand Imperial Sire also slowly arrived beside the two of them. He looked at the Martial Monarch Realm formation and was suddenly somewhat stunned.
“Hmph! I didn’t expect your residence to have some capable people who can actually create two Martial Monarch Realm array formations. Unfortunately, this array formation is unable to resist me at all. In front of me, it’s not worth mentioning at all.”
Ji Wushang smiled coldly.
“You’re right, but I don’t have any hope of relying on these two Martial Monarch Realm formations to stop you.”
“Yes?”
Ji Shangrong’s eyebrows raised slightly. In the next moment, he saw Ji Wushang give him the middle finger. Then, he took out a holy weapon sword and stabbed his own heart.
“Yes?”
Ji Shangrong’s pupils constricted as he looked at this scene in disbelief. King Zining was so frightened that his face was as pale as wax.
“Wushang, what are you doing? You can’t die!”
“It hurts! Hiss!”
Ji Wushang gasped and immediately gritted his teeth.
“Stop shaking my sword! It will open my wound.”
Only then did King Zining notice that he had lost his composure for a moment. At this moment, he was shaking the sword that was stuck in his son’s body.
However, he quickly reacted.
“But why are you trying to commit suicide?”
“You don’t understand. Protect me. This array formation will reduce the other party’s combat strength by a portion. You’re at the King Realm. You can fight him for a while. Buy me a little time.”
In fact, this was Ji Wushang’s method of fighting to survive.
With the combat strength of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace alone, they were definitely unable to resist an expert like Ji Shangrong.
Therefore, Ji Wushang could only find a backup.
This reinforcement was none other than Lu Xiaoran.
Lu Xiaoran had previously placed a mark in his body.
As long as his life was threatened, the mark would be triggered. In that case, Lu Xiaoran could sense it.
This was Ji Wushang’s goal.
He wanted to use suicide to seek help from Lu Xiaoran.
Of course, he did not know if Lu Xiaoran could come in time or not. He also did not know if he could still live after Lu Xiaoran came.
However, if Lu Xiaoran did not come, he would definitely die.
In order to survive, he could only risk his life.
He prayed desperately that Lu Xiaoran would sense his injuries and come to save him in the Purple Peace Imperial Palace.
“Alright!”
Although King Zining did not understand, he knew that his son was the number one genius of the Great Zhou for thousands of years. He would definitely not do something meaningless and uncertain.
Ji Shangrong shook his head.
“Although I don’t know what you’re doing! However, such a diversionary tactic won’t confuse me. Today, I won’t stop until I burn your bones and scatter your ashes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Shangrong stepped into the array formation.
…
At the same time, on Lu Xiaoran’s side, he sensed that Ling Xinyue and Fang Aotian had already started fighting. He also began to do a final check on the array formation.
He knew very well that even if he had a divine weapon, he could not be too careless.
Just as Wang Cai had said, he could use the divine weapon, but so could the hot shots.
Those with great luck were originally favored by the heavens.
Therefore, he was not sure if the other party also had a divine weapon.
This mutated version of Long Aotian was very powerful. He could not be careless.
Therefore, he had to set up multiple defenses.
Lu Xiaoran was very cautious. In order to prevent the other party from using special methods to break the array formation, he even spread out a few array formations to scatter the array core, even if it cost him several times more spirit stones.
After all, Fang Aotian was a ruthless person who dared to detonate a Martial Monarch Realm weapon!
It was better to have a few backup moves prepared when facing such a ruthless person.
After doing all of this, Lu Xiaoran clapped and the corner of his mouth curled up.
“Alright, the trap is already prepared. Now I just have to wait for the fish to swim in.”
After doing all of this, Lu Xiaoran summoned his precious disciples.
“Greetings, Master.”
Everyone bowed to Lu Xiaoran in unison.
“We’re about to attack Fang Aotian, so stop cultivating and prepare.”
“Yes!”
Everyone replied in unison, especially Fang Tianyuan, who was the most excited.
After all, the one they were about to kill was his mortal enemy!
Then, Lu Xiaoran took out a few Martial Monarch Realm armor and a few Martial Monarch Realm weapons.
“You’ve all been cultivating very hard recently. In order to reward you, I prepared a Martial Monarch Realm weapon for you this time instead of a Saint Realm weapon. Those who don’t have Martial Monarch Realm weapons, come now and receive them immediately.”
Hearing this, Ji Wuxia immediately returned the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear to Yun Lige.
“Eldest Senior Brother, this is the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear you lent me to play with. I’m done playing with it. Take it back.”
With that said, she immediately jogged over and fought with Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng to be the first to pick the Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
Yun Lige was stunned on the spot.
His junior sister was getting more and more cunning.
Fortunately, he had gotten his Martial Monarch Realm weapon back.
He only felt that it was a little hot and soft. It was not as cold and hard as before!
“That’s strange. Where did Junior Sister put it? Although this Martial Monarch Realm weapon of mine can expand and shrink it, it’s still impossible for her to put it into her soul, right?”
Looking at her junior sister beside him, Zhuge Ziqiong was already dumbfounded.
Even though she had already been impressed by Lu Xiaoran’s strength countless times, she still could not help but feel shocked when she saw this scene.
Wasn’t this too abnormal?
The other party had instantly taken out a large number of Martial Monarch Realm weapons. How were other people supposed to live if they saw this scene?
It had to be known that the entire Great Zhou Empire probably did not have this many Martial Monarch Realm weapons.
Lu Xiaoran also handed her two Martial Monarch Realm weapons. One of them was the Six Dao Reincarnation Disk that was used in conjunction with her cultivation technique. The other was the low-grade Martial Monarch Realm Ghost Emperor Armor that he had obtained from opening the gift bag previously.
“Ziqiong, take these two. This is your first time participating in a battle, so you don’t have to risk your life. You just have to watch the battle from behind them. You still have to prioritize your own safety.”
Zhuge Ziqiong nodded and immediately asked curiously, “Master, you’ve given us so many Martial Monarch Realm weapons. What are you going to use?”
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand.
“Of course I’ll let you guys use the good stuff. My cultivation level is higher. I’ll just use some ordinary stuff.”
