On that day, they could be said to have experienced the most painful defeat in the history of the Purple Mansion Sect, and felt like the entire world was falling apart.
A Soul Sea Realm martial artist was slain in front of the formation. This impact force was too intense.
And today, they had a feeling of walking about with their chins held high, and finally felt like they regained a set.
Hence, each and every one of them was like on stimulants, praising Liao Wenguang.
Liao Wenguang also felt very comfortable regarding this stuff. The feeling of being worshiped by everyone was very wonderful.
“Heh heh, I’m going to go one more time to see how many of my attacks this grand array of yours can withstand! You all prepare well for me. After I blast this grand array open, you all charge inside in one breath and leave nothing behind!” Liao Wenguang said with a loud laugh.

Rumble!
Another huge tremor.
After a moment, the grand array recovered to normal once more.
Liao Wenguang was very excited. He seemed to have seen the moment the grand array shattered.
While by the side, He Jun was not as optimistic as Liao Wenguang.
He stared at the grand array with heated eyes. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.
He brandished the Blood Drinking Saber and was just about to attack again when he heard He Jun said, “Forget it, Old Liao. You can’t break this grand array.”
Liao Wenguang’s expression changed and he said unhappily, “What are you talking about? Old He, you aren’t afraid that I’d snatch credit from you, right?”
He Jun shot him an indifferent glance and said, “Since you’re talking like this, just take it like I didn’t say anything. Go ahead and carry on trying.”
Liao Wenguang’s expression was not very good, and was somewhat caught in a dilemma for a moment.
To talk about martial strength, he obviously flung He Jun several streets behind. But, to talk about understanding towards array formations, He Jun threw him more than ten streets behind.
Looking at the realm passageway on the verge of opening up, these Purple Mansion Sect Soul Sea Realm experts all wished to render contributions in front of the wind emperor.
If Liao Wenguang could crack the formation independently, the merit this time would be his alone. He was obviously not willing to give this credit to He Jun.
But, he knew He Jun’s formations path attainments. If he was not exaggerating just to alarm people, then wouldn’t he be wasting his energy?
Ruminating briefly for a moment, Liao Wenguang said with a cold snort, “Humph! Try it out then!”
Liao Wenguang felt that his attack just now already caused considerable damage to the grand array. Redouble his effort and he could definitely crack this formation.
He Jun smiled coldly at the corners of his mouth, but did not stop Liao Wenguang too much.
There was not much nonsense. Liao Wenguang sent out another blade. This time, he even increased his strength a little.
Another intense tremor. The grand array seemed to be tottering on the verge of collapse already.
Liao Wenguang shot He Jun a glare like putting on a show of force and increased his strength even more again.
Liao Wenguang was highly excited, chopping out blade after blade.
The Purple Mansion Sect disciples only heard the rumbling sounds lingering incessantly in their ears, as if the entire Spirit Blessing Mountain was crumbling.
Yet, in a twinkle, Liao Wenguang slashed out over a dozen blades. The commotion caused was greater each time, and the grand array also quaked more intensely each time. But it just was not breached.
Liao Wenguang was panting from exhaustion and finally became aware that something was not right.
Unleashing over a dozen blades consecutively. Moreover, each blade was more powerful than the last, as if every blade reached the limits that the grand array could withstand.
That was also to say that this sect protecting grand array’s limits was rising along with his attacks!
Motherf*cker! Wasn’t this messing with Your Father?!
Liao Wenguang gnashed his teeth hatefully, his gaze involuntarily glancing over at He Jun. But he discovered that He Jun was looking at him composedly, seemingly watching a good show.
“To hell with it! A person has to have a backbone! I want to see just where this grand array’s limits lie!”
Liao Wenguang was fairly stimulated by He Jun’s expression and his stubborn temper flared up all at once.
In front of thousands of Purple Mansion Sect disciples, if Liao Wenguang yielded at this time, where would he put his face in the sect hereafter?
Liao Wenguang at this time had already ridden on a tiger and found it hard to dismount. He could only toughen his scalp and continue attacking wildly.
He could not care about saving whatever trump cards at this time too. Flinging caution to the wind, he used his strongest attacks all together.
Yet, it did not have any freaking use.
Apart from huge tremors, the grand array still did not have any signs of the slightest trace of damage.
Liao Wenguang was already dog-tired until he was about to collapse. Such powerful attacks, even if he was a Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, he was also unable to sustain for too long.
“This . . . what the hell is this grand array? Why is it so strong?”
“Earlier when I saw Elder Liao’s attacks, I even thought that this grand array nothing more than this. But, Elder Liao slashed out dozens of blades and it actually still did not crack the formation!”
“Wasn’t it said that the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s sect protecting grand array was only a Low-Rank Tier 4 grand array? How can it possibly withstand Elder Liao’s attacks?”
“You guys, look. Elder Liao is already tired until like this. To be able to exhaust a Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse to this extent, this grand array is really . . .”
“Up until now, it was all Elder Liao attacking. I was present on that day. This grand array clearly has people controlling and can even taking the initiative to attack, releasing an extremely terrifying light stream which instantly killed Elder Ma!”
Over on the Purple Mansion Sect’s side, discussions were running rampant. Especially those martial artists who experienced Ma Yi’s death. Currently, their dread towards the grand array was at the peak.
Up until this moment, this sect protecting grand array had been taking on a defensive stance. That extraordinarily powerful light stream had yet to appear until now!
What if . . .
Truly whatever one feared would come. After sustaining one of Liao Wenguang’s attack, several streams of flowing light creeped out, chasing after Liao Wenguang!
Liao Wenguang was practically at the extent of a nearly spent force already. The timing that these few streams of flowing light appeared was grasped very well too. It was precisely when Liao Wenguang’s old force was spent and new strength had yet to be produced!
Liao Wenguang’s face changed drastically and hastily wanted to evade. But, his essence energy was depleted right now. How could he still have the strength to run?
The speed of the light streams was much faster than him. It caught up to his figure instantaneously.
“Bang!”
A huge air blast pushed Liao Wenguang far out, slamming heavily onto the ground.
Liao Wenguang rolled a long way out on the ground and struggled to crawl to his feet. Eating a mouthful of dust and in a very wretched state.
The grand array restored its tranquillity once more, as if nothing happened earlier.
But, Lian Wenguang had lingering fear. That life and death juncture just now, if not for He Jun taking action to disperse those few streams of flowing light, he would most likely be following in Ma Yi’s footsteps right now.
“He Jun! You know that this grand array i
s formidable, why didn’t you make a move earlier?!” Liao Wenguang came in before He Jun and said crossly.
Liao Wenguang could not remember how long had it been since he was so miserable anymore. Today’s encounter made him depressed to the max and he very much needed to find a channel to vent.
But He Jun said calmly, “I warned you long ago. It was you who didn’t listen to my advice and had to forcefully crack the formation! I made a move to save you earlier, it was fine if you didn’t thank me, but you actually have the face to turn around and question me?”
“You!” Liao Wenguang actually had no words to retort with.
“This grand array is incredibly abstruse. It’s completely not a Low-Rank Tier 4 grand array. It’s very different from the news that we understood before!” He Jun said in a grave voice.
Liao Wenguang’s expression changed and he said, “What? Not Low-Rank Tier 4? Then, what grade?”
He Jun said, “If my conjectures are right, this grand array is at least High-Rank Tier 4 level! Even if Sect Master came personally, he might not be able to forcefully crack the formation!”
Liao Wenguang’s shock this time was extraordinary. He actually forgot the embarrassment earlier for a moment and said in astonishment, “Even Sect Master can’t crack this grand array? Are you kidding?! My attacks earlier clearly almost breached it already. It was just slightly lacking some firepower.”
He Jun had a disdainful face as he said with a cold smile, “Drop it, you! Your attacks just now only scratched their itch for them! The person controlling the grand array had the grand array controlled at Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm level just for the sake of saving essence energy. That’s why your attacks can have that sort of effect. If not out of trepidation that the two of us were here, you would long be a dead body right now!”

“S-Such a shame! At the last moment, it actually fell a step short of success!” In the formation’s center, Tian Yu said with a look of pity.
Tian Yu hated the Purple Mansion Sect people to the bone. If not for his strength being lacking, he would have long slaughtered up to the Heavenly Sky Sect.
Now, seeing that Liao Wenguang was actually rescued by people, he immediately lamented endlessly.
“Sigh! Just a bit more and we could have killed that Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm expert! Just a little bit more!” A disciple hammered his chest and stomped his feet.
The group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples all nodded their heads secretly. Evidently, they completely felt the same way.
Previously, they were all still very nervous, fearful that the grand array would not be able to sustain, and wished that they could transfer all the essence energy in their bodies to Ye Yuan.
But, after suffering several attacks, they discovered that the ever-triumphant Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse in their impression did not seem to be that scary either.
Although the tremors that the grand array sustained was much greater than the previous time, the essence energy that Ye Yuan extracted from their bodies reduced a great deal instead.
This aspect was because that their collective strength rose a huge step. The other aspect was because Ye Yuan intentionally preserved strength.
But Ye Yuan turned around and said with a smile, “Haha. Don’t be anxious. The good show is just starting!”
Tian Yu’s eyebrows shot up and he said rather excitedly, “Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, could it be that . . . you intended that earlier?”
Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, “Kill one and the other’s alertness will become high. That array master would surely be very wary. Making him jump into the pit wouldn’t be too easy then. That’s a Tier 4 Array Master after all. He more or less still has some capabilities.”
“Haha! Like I said! Brilliant, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye! Truly brilliant!” Tian Yu was thrilled and unwittingly raised a big thumbs up to Ye Yuan.
“Hahaha!”
Seeing Tian Yu’s silly look, the disciple also could not help bursting into laughter. The jumpiness previously immediately vanished without a trace.
. . . . . .
Outside the sect’s gates, Liao Wenguang’s hair was standing on its end from shock. Only now did he know that he had already toured one round around the gates of hell and back.
Recalling that scene earlier, Liao Wenguang had a bout of lingering fear and felt a swish of cold wind at the back too.
Liao Wenguang swallowed his saliva and felt rather parched. “Old He, do as you say. I’ll listen to you!”
This time, Liao Wenguang did not dare to show off his abilities and started to consult He Jun.
He Jun was a Tier 4 Array Master after all. Liao Wenguang himself could not crack the formation. Evidently, there was only relying on He Jun.
He Jun said with a smile, “Tier 4 and above grand arrays, even if it were me, cracking it is somewhat challenging too.”
Liao Wenguang saw that He Jun was deliberately keeping him in suspense and gnashed his teeth hatefully.
But, at this point, Liao Wenguang had no choice either. He could only rely on He Jun entirely.
They pledged solemnly in front of He Mingde before they departed to definitely crack the grand array and utterly eradicate the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Yet now, he nearly lost his little life just now. A round of tongue-lashing from He Mingde could not be dispensed with when they returned.
Only by annihilating the Tranquil Cloud Sect could he look a little better in terms of face after returning.
“Old He, everyone is serving the wind emperor. Don’t hold the suspense already, alright?” Liao Wenguang said unhappily.
“Pooh! Know that you’re serving the wind emperor now? When you were snatching credit just now, where did you put the wind emperor?”
Of course, He Jun did not say out these words. He just criticized in his heart. Liao Wenguang this fellow was too shameless.
“I’ve researched all the Eight Great Sect’s sect protecting grand arrays before. The Tranquil Cloud Sect’s sect protecting grand array’s name is Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. This array formation was originally a Quasi-Tier 5 array formation. Its power was extraordinary. It’s just don’t know what the reason was, the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s sect protecting grand array seemed to have some imperfections. So it only had Low-Rank Tier 4 power.” He Jun said slowly.
From He Jun’s words, one could tell that the Purple Mansion Sect had wild ambitions towards the Southern Domain, and had long been making plans.
He Jun had long researched the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s sect protecting grand array before, and more or less still had some understanding of the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array.
Liao Wenguang said in astonishment, “Could it be that . . . this array formation in front of us already has Quasi-Tier 5 grand array power? Doesn’t that mean that . . . unless a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse came, otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to crack this grand array no matter what?”
He Jun shook his head and said, “How can a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array be so easy to set up? At least in the Southern Domain, there’s absolutely nobody who can lay down a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array! Furthermore, according to what I know, this Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array’s complete array formation was already lost. The Tranquil Cloud Sect themselves can’t set it up either.”
Liao Wenguang heaved a sigh and said, “Then your meaning is?”
“Although this array formation can’t possibly reach Quasi-Tier 5 grand array standards, it has evidently been renewed and perfected by somebody. It should barely manage to reach High-Rank Tier 4 standards! Moreover, the strength of the person controlling the grand array is not beneath mine! Hence . . . wanting to directly crack the formation, I can’t do it too!” He Jun said with a grave face.
“What? This grand array has someone controlling? Furthermore, strength isn’t beneath yours? In the land of the Southern Domain, other than the Heavenly
Sky Sect’s Zhou Yun, who else can reach your level?” Liao Wenguang exclaimed in surprise.
Liao Wenguang was utterly clueless about grand arrays and completely could not see through this array formation’s profundities. But He Jun could perceive some inkling.
The Tier 4 Array Masters in the land of the Southern Domain only had two people. One was He Jun. The other person was a Heavenly Sky Sect grand elder called Zhou Yun.
Before this, He Jun had secluded himself from society all along and did not come out. The Tier 4 array masters in the land of the Southern Domain was actually just this Zhou Yun alone.
Hearing for the first time about this person whose formations path standards were not beneath He Jun’s controlling this grand array before their eyes, Liao Wenguang’s astoundment could be imagined.
One had to know that Zhou Yun was still being detained at Towering Peak!
Then who was inside the grand array?
He Jun nodded his head slowly and his expression had unspeakable solemnness, “I also can’t figure it out after racking my brain! Logically speaking, the Tranquil Cloud Sect is the weakest sect among the Eight Great Sects. Counting in Luo Qingfeng, there are only just two Soul Sea Realms as well. I really want to know who on earth is controlling this sect protecting grand array inside right now!”
Liao Wenguang felt rather parched. A Tier 4 Array Master whose strength was not inferior to He Ju controlling a High-Rank Tier 4 grand array. This was not something fun.
His actions earlier were seriously too foolish.
Thinking about it now, he was considered to have had a narrow escape.
No wonder He Jun said previously that even if Sect Master came personally, he might not be able to crack this formation either.
“Then . . . what should we do now? Go back first to report this matter to Sect Master?”
Liao Wenguang no longer had the haughtiness of a Soul Sea Realm right now. Instead, he became somewhat timid.
He Jun shook his head and said, “We mobilized a huge force and raised a big rumpus to come here. How can we return empty-handed? Hehe, encountering such an expert, Old He, I, am also itching to test my skills now! I really want to know who on earth is controlling the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array now! Although I can’t achieve directly cracking the formation, abating the power of this array formation and finding the vulnerable areas of this grand array, I can still accomplish it! Old Liao, in a while, I’ll go crack the formation. You help support me from the sides and wait for my news. When I let you attack, you launch your attack with all your might and completely break this formation!”
