Chapter 24
Chapter 24: The Sol Sword Sect’s Preparations!
At that moment, in the Sol Sword Sect.
“He comes every day... and I don’t even know what he’s up to... He will just walk around the sect like he’s on a sightseeing tour... coming and going whenever he feels like...”
A group of elders gathered, each wearing an awful expression on their faces. They felt that the young man had no respect for them at all as he would enter the Sol Sword Sect as if he was strolling into an unoccupied place.
“I must get vengeance for my deceased son!”
At that moment, coldness emerged in Lin Jianghong’s eyes as he slammed his palm down on the table.
“I feel as though this person will make a circle around the Sol Sword Sect every day and pass by fixed locations. He must have his own reasons for doing so. However, since he will walk around the Sol Sword Sect on a daily basis, we should just beat him at his own game.”
At that moment, an elder spoke abruptly. The room instantly became quiet while everyone could not help but turn to look at him.
It was Elder Jiang Zheng. At that moment, Elder Jiang Zheng’s eyes were gloomy and besmirched with an inexplicable sense of insidiousness. Among the disciples in the party who perished, one of them was his.
“And how are we supposed to do that, Elder Jiang Zheng? From what I’ve seen and understand, that man will appear at the Scripture Repository and outside the Assaulting Sword Pavilion every day. But even if we have knowledge of this, it is still difficult for us to kill him. I squatted there every day. However, his Move Technique is extremely strange. Despite being a Divine Bridge stage myself, it would still be difficult for me to kill him. I’m afraid that he has already arrived at the Vanishing phase, an extremity in Move Techniques. Even I can’t keep up with his speed at all.”
“Yeah! I wonder where he really comes from. That is a Truth Return level Move Technique; an extremely rare sight to behold. And I feel as though he’s always keeping some mysterious profile for himself. What’s more, his power levels are simply off the charts...”
“He’s merely at the Liberation stage right now. If we can capture him, I’m confident that I can kill him...” Lin Jianghong’s face was not looking too good. Whenever he remembered that day when Lin Yuelun was nailed onto the Statue of Sol, he would feel the urge to immediately butcher Shen Changge into small pieces!
However, Elder Jiang Zheng suddenly laughed.
“To prepare for the unprepared and to catch the unsuspecting off guard. Do you people think that this is a hard thing to do?” he asked.
Jiang Zheng slowly stood up with a look in his eyes that seemed as if he had everything under control.
“Jiang Zheng, what is it that you’re trying to say? Hurry up and speak.”
“Can you get straight to the point? Can’t you see what kind of situation we’re in right now?”
Jiang Zheng smiled.
“I am in charge of the Scripture Repository. I have a more profound understanding of that place than any of you. Within the repository, there is an incomplete scroll which is on an ancient Magic Array.”
“Magic Array.”
Ancient Magic Array. Such a thing had always been rare and scarce in numbers. However, its effect was often mind-blowing.
“Precisely. This Magic Array is our Dragon Sealing Array.”
Immediately, everyone’s spirits heightened.
Excitement shone in Lin Jianghong’s eyes as he said, “Do you mean that we will set up this trap in a place that the young man in white will pass by, such as the Scripture Pavilion, and trigger the array when he arrives to trap him? Trapping him and deterring him from using his Move Technique will suffice.”
As long as that kid could not use that Move Technique of his, Lin Jianghong would take the fight directly into the Magic Array!
He would be like a captive turtle in an earthen jar!
“Elder Jiang Zheng, when can we lay down that array?”
All the elders became excited. Their hatred for that man was extremely immense!
Elder Jiang Zheng sighed. However, there was this unconcealable confidence in his eyes as he said, “That Magic Array is incomplete, but I have researched it for quite some time. Due to that man’s infiltration, I recently went back to study it for a few days. Now, I’m already capable enough to trap him. Even an ace at the Divine Bridge stage would need a few days to break free from it.”
“I can complete the layout within half a day’s time!”
Therefore, early in the morning, all the disciples of the Sol Sword Sect were strictly forbidden from going out. Then, under the guidance of a group of elders, they began outlining the ancient Magic Array. Many Spirit Stones that were stowed away at the bottom of their stash were also used to siphon Spiritual Energy into the Magic Array!
“This Magic Array truly is a powerful one! I feel that everything about the trapping array is already in place. If we really manage to trap him with his, even if he has wings, he won’t be able to escape!”
When the group of elders was outlining the Magic Array, they felt as though their plan was feasible and got excited for a while.
“If this really manages to trap that person, I will skin him while he’s alive!”
The layout of the Magic Array was complete.
“All of you should go away so that we won’t alert the enemy. I alone shall remain here, hidden,” Lin Jianghong said with a solemn expression. He gripped his Assaulting Sword firmly as if he would immediately run his sword through the young man in white’s body as soon as he saw him.
Jiang Zheng’s eyes were flickering. “I will stay as well. I’ve learned a technique that allows me to conceal my aura. I shouldn’t expose myself if I remain in hiding, and I have to activate the Magic Array after all,” he said.
The elders could not help but look at Jiang Zheng. This man had truly been nursing his vengeance for a very long time. It could be said that he had always been outside the sect’s center of influence. However, after this incident, his status in the sect would elevate like a rising tide!
Who would have thought that over the span of so many years, Jiang Zheng, who guarded the Scripture Repository, would have read most of the scriptures held inside and mastered a great portion of them?
“Hide over here. My aura is too immense and I’m afraid that I’ll be discovered. But I do have another plan for that. Alright, that’s all. That person will be coming soon!” Lin Jianghong said to Jiang Zheng.
Judging by the current time, the young man in white would be coming soon!
At that moment, the sky gradually brightened. Under the dark mist, the entire Sol Sword Sect was somewhat deserted and desolate.
The figure in white arrived as scheduled.
Shen Changge stepped into the Sol Sword Sect.
However, at that very moment, a figure suddenly appeared. It was Lin Jianghong. However, this time, he had not immediately drawn his sword. Instead, he revealed a bitter smile and said, “Alright, I’ve had enough. What is it that you’re after?”
Shen Changge looked at him with an enigmatic smile.
Was this guy asking for peace?
Well, I bet he has an ultimate ready for me, huh?
“Cough, cough. I just feel that I really can’t kill you. If you tell me the reason you visit the Sol Sword Sect every day, I will hinder you no more from now on. Perhaps I can even let you go through the Sol Sword Sect’s scriptures,” Lin Jianghong said.
Reading their scriptures.
That was a very generous offer.
In such times, a sect’s scripture was like their bargaining chips!
However, Shen Changge looked at Lin Jianghong inexplicably.
Lin Jianghong sighed and said, “Forget it. If you do not trust me, I’ll take you there myself. Feel free to look at any of our scriptures.”
...
Lin Jianghong ignored Shen Changge from then onward. He turned around and walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.
He’s following me.
Sensing that Shen Changge was following him from behind, Lin Jianghong let out a sigh of relief.
Shen Changge’s eyes were relaxed as he strolled leisurely through the courtyard. However, when he approached the area outside the Scripture Repository, the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up while his eyes stared at Lin Jianghong’s back with a somewhat inexplicable expression.
If I cut him down right now...
Forget it.
Shen Changge held his hands behind his back and looked off into the distance as he followed Lin Jianghong at a leisurely pace.
Seeing that Shen Changge had followed him into the area where the Dragon Sealing Array was laid down, Lin Jianghong’s heart became as determined as he could ever be.
