Xuanwu War Sovereign

「Two hours later.」

Before a hidden mountain valley, dozens of miles away, three figures shot over from the distance like bolts of lightning.

In a flash of black, Qin Feng appeared at the valley’s entrance in his black robe.

Flowers bloomed in profusion here. Elegant little blossoms of every color were on display as butterflies danced among the dense fields of flowers.

At a glance, the sea of flowers resembled a great, winding river. On either side, green mountains faced each other. In the distance, a colossal peak shrouded in a faint Purple Qi towered on the horizon.

Purple Mist Peak.

Following the lingering trail of aura left by Xuelian, the three of them had tracked their quarry here.

Qin Feng turned his head, his gaze falling on the two women as he spoke. "Do you want to rest for a bit?"

The two women shook their heads.

Condensing Vein Realm Martial Artists had abundant stamina; traveling for a few hours was nothing to them.

Besides, there were still pursuers behind them!

"Junior Brother, we should hurry. The experts from the Celestial Lion Clan are already catching up. If nothing unexpected happens, they’ll be on us in an hour at most! These people are incredibly strong. Little Spirit’s instincts are telling me we can’t fight them!"

On Ye Qinghua’s hand, a pitch-black Spirit Vine waved its branches and leaves, letting out a strange ZHI ZHI cry.

This was a Xuan Tier Spirit Vine called the Soul-Devouring Vine, an exceptionally rare Spiritual Root that could evolve by devouring vitality and flesh.

With this Spirit Vine, not the slightest change within a radius of several miles could escape their notice.

Qin Feng glanced at the two worried-looking women and smiled. "Don’t worry. They’re just a few lion dogs. We might not be able to beat them, but they’ll never catch us!"

A sinister smile flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. If he weren’t limited by his current strength and unable to use some of his more powerful Array Prohibitions, he would make damn sure those pursuers understood the gravity of hunting an Array Grandmaster.

Even so, Qin Feng wouldn’t let the pursuers have an easy time.

Surveying the lush sea of flowers, Qin Feng’s incredibly sharp Sixth Sense detected an unusually dense Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy.

’This place has a peculiar terrain and is rich in Spiritual Qi. It’s a great spot for array formation. I can use it to have some fun with those Celestial Lion Clan experts!’

As he pondered, a First-level Mysterious Array appeared in his mind.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Bewitching God Xuan Formation.

"You two wait here for a moment while I set something up!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Qin Feng took a deep breath and his figure soared towards the flowers blooming in the valley. In a flash, he was suspended in mid-air. With a flip of his palm, pieces of crystal-clear Jade appeared.

This was Top-Grade Jade cut from the Jade Ore Essence in the Spiritual Light Cave, brimming with Spiritual Qi.

It was a top-grade Array Spirit Object!

The corner of Qin Feng’s mouth twitched, and his eyes filled with hidden resentment. ’I painstakingly accumulated these treasures bit by bit, and they’re being used up so fast.’

’Damn these Demon Monster Alien Races! When my Cultivation reaches Great Success, I will make you all pay the price!’

Though reluctant, Qin Feng flicked his hand, sending over a dozen pieces of jade shooting out into various parts of the flower sea. At the same time, he formed a Hand Technique, and a tree branch brimming with Spiritual Qi appeared in his palm.

This was a branch from a Thousand-year-old Jade Spirit Tree. If planted in Spiritual Land, it might be possible to cultivate a new Jade Spirit Tree.

Qin Feng had collected it, originally planning to transplant it into his Green Wood Heaven and Earth to suppress a Spirit Vein once it took shape.

Now, in order to shake off his pursuers, he had no choice but to use it in place of an Array Map to act as the Array Hub.

"What is Senior Brother Qin Feng doing?"

A trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes as Jiang Bing’Er watched the black-robed youth moving in and out of the sea of flowers, perplexed.

’This Senior Brother Qin Feng is so strange.’

’The pursuers are so close, yet he has the leisure to pick flowers?’

Compared to Jiang Bing’Er, Ye Qinghua was far more knowledgeable and worldly. She gradually began to see what was happening from Qin Feng’s actions.

’This is an Array! Could it be that this Junior Brother Qin Feng is an Array Master skilled in Arrays?’ Ye Qinghua was shaken to her core.

The more Ye Qinghua watched, the more it seemed to be the case. Based on her experience, Qin Feng was clearly setting up an Array, and his Array Formation techniques looked exceptionally skillful.

The Array was profound, embodying the Dao of Unity of Heaven and Man, revealing not a single flaw.

A trace of disbelief appeared in Ye Qinghua’s beautiful eyes!

It was well known that Array Masters were extremely rare and possessed unfathomable power. They could command the clouds and the rain with a flip of their palm. A truly profound Array Master could even lay down countless Arrays with a single thought.

Having an Array Master by your side was like traveling with a mobile fortress.

Ye Qinghua suppressed the shock in her heart, a hint of joy appearing in her beautiful eyes.

’We’re saved! Following this Junior Brother Qin Feng was the right move. With an Array Master here, what do the experts from the Demon God Temple matter? As long as the ten strongest of the Demon God Temple’s younger generation don’t show up, they can’t easily harm an Array Master, no matter how many of them there are!’

Biting her lower lip, the exquisitely beautiful girl’s eyes shifted, unable to hide the unusual glint within them.

A short while later, Qin Feng flashed and reappeared beside the two young women.

Ye Qinghua’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked, "Junior Brother Qin Feng, what Array is this?"

"An Array?" Jiang Bing’Er’s eyes lit up, her beautiful gaze fixed on the black-robed youth.

Tilting his head, Qin Feng glanced at the stunning beauty in green with some surprise, then smiled and said, "This is the Ten Thousand Flowers Bewitching God Xuan Formation, which I set up using the vitality of the myriad flowers. Anyone who enters this Array will lose their sense of direction, their Sixth Sense will be inverted, and heaven and earth will be reversed. If they don’t understand the Array Dao, they’ll have a hard time getting out even in ten days to half a month!"

"Although this is only a First-level Mysterious Array, some of its abilities are stronger than, not weaker than, those of a Second-level Profound Array!"

"If those Alien Races from the Demon God Temple blunder into this Array, I guarantee they’ll learn the meaning of ’the sky grows dark and the earth grows dim,’ and what it means to have ’no path to the heavens and no gate into the earth!’"

A sinister smile appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes.

"So that’s how it is!" The two women glanced at each other, a trace of alarm on their faces.

Array Masters were indeed notoriously strange and difficult to deal with.

This Array could actually confuse a Martial Artist’s Spiritual Sense, which was terrifying. It was like stripping a Martial Artist of their Sixth Sense, turning intruders into deaf, blind, unfeeling wooden puppets.

"Let’s go!" Glancing at the sea of flowers, Qin Feng led the two women and continued to race toward Purple Mist Peak.

A short while after Qin Feng’s trio had left, Shi Wushuang arrived menacingly at the valley entrance with over a dozen experts from the Celestial Lion Clan.

Shi Wushuang closed his eyes slightly, sensing the three faint, familiar auras in the air. A moment later, he opened his eyes and sneered. "This is the place. They just left. No matter how cunning you are, you can’t escape the hunter’s grasp!"

The dozens of Celestial Lion Clan experts exchanged smiles.

"Looks like we’re in for some fun soon!"

"A few mere ants, twisting and turning, leading us on a chase through the mountain forest. Do they really think they can escape the grasp of our Celestial Lion Clan? How could these weak members of the Human Race possibly know the power of our Celestial Lion Race?"

"These lowly Two-legged Sheep are truly delusional. They killed our Celestial Lion Clan members and thought they could escape safely? They’re daydreaming!"

"The Young Clan Leader’s Divine Abilities are truly limitless. He really is worthy of being one of the ten strongest of the Demon God Temple’s younger generation!"

"Brothers, while the Human Race is weak, their young women’s bodies are exceptionally soft! That feeling, tsk tsk..."

"Brothers, this time it’s my turn to enjoy the ’tenderness’ of a human woman. Don’t you go playing with her until she’s dead before tossing her to me this time!"

"Haha, you’re not wrong! I love the way those human women scream. The more they scream, the more excited I get. I can hardly wait!"

...

The Celestial Lion Clan experts licked their dry lips, their eyes filled with lecherous cruelty.

Shi Wushuang threw his head back and let out a sharp howl. His figure shot forward like a golden streak, golden flames dancing in his eyes. He was the first to charge into the sea of flowers.

One figure after another followed like speeding arrows.

Suddenly, in the next moment, their vision went black. They came tumbling down into the sea of flowers like dumplings falling into a pot.

"Oh no! Why did the sky go dark?"

...

「Just as Shi Wushuang and his men fell into the trap.」

Several miles away, Qin Feng’s trio had already reached the upper end of the sea of flowers when they suddenly stopped in their tracks.

A loud BANG!

The distant sound of clashing metal echoed from deep within the sea of flowers.
