Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 216 Nightmare Divine Array

"You are from the Li family!"

Ao Sheng immediately realized that only the Li family could possess so many fire cultivators. Although he was panicked, he also felt a strange sense of excitement: "Stop! I am a disciple of the Soul Suppressing Sect. You cannot kill me. I want to see your family head!"

Li Xiangming sneered. Back then, when he captured Liu Xianyi, it was because he mentioned the Liu family's name. Not only did nothing happen to him, but he also received personal hospitality from Li Qianxiong.

This is the function of a signboard; this behavior may not work on rogue cultivators or those who have undergone tribulations.

However, this principle applies to all sects and aristocratic families because these powerful forces have complex and intertwined interests.

Even enemies can have room for cooperation.

Besides, what are conflicts between the younger generation?
In many situations, people see each other all the time, so it's perfectly normal to exchange favors.

Ao Sheng prided himself on being a formation master and was confident that even if he were captured by the Li family, he could be extradited by the sect.

But he would never know that the Li family wanted his blood to escalate the conflict between the Zhenhun Sect and the Shengyi Sect.

Seeing that Li Xiangming ignored him, Ao Sheng's face turned pale. He struggled desperately, rushing left and right, but he only sank deeper and deeper into the sea of ​​fire, and his magic power was unknowingly consumed.

"Fight!"

Ao Sheng roared, and several talismans flew out in front of him, connecting to form a large net.

"It's a rune array! Retreat!"

Li Xiangfeng shouted, and the disciples of the beast-catching room scattered and fled.

Ao Sheng seized the opportunity and soared into the sky, but Li Xiangming had been waiting there for a long time. With a flick of his whip, his magical power surged like a tidal wave, knocking Ao Sheng down again.

"You asked for it!"

Ao Sheng screamed shrilly, opened his arms, and a formation plate slowly appeared on his chest.

No one knows how he moved, but the array plate rapidly expanded, encompassing everyone in mid-air.

Li Xiangming's expression changed. Such a large-scale formation must be extraordinary. He hurriedly retreated, but the formation took the initiative and dragged him inside.

The formation was pitch black, then light appeared, followed by color.

Countless images flashed by like a revolving lantern.

It contains Li Xiangming's life story, as well as memories of some people he has never met.

In the darkness, indistinct monsters devoured these memories, then transformed into human form, constantly surrounding Li Xiangming.

"Illusion array?"

Li Xiangming was greatly surprised; these monsters were all illusions.
However, since it is not a physical entity, its body will fade if it is injured by them.

If they were devoured by the monster, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He dealt with these monsters with great care. The monsters were born from devouring memories and knew many skills he had never seen before. Li Xiangming was soon covered in sweat.

Fortunately, the strength of these monsters is not too exaggerated and is still within our control.

After a long pause, Li Xiangming felt the pressure.

Although he seemed to have no worries about magical power while inside the illusion array, the mental strain was enormous.

He had only defeated half of the monsters when he was already feeling dizzy.

In the depths of darkness, countless monsters lurk, ready to pounce.
-
Outside the formation, Ao Sheng was also drenched in sweat.

Among the array masters of the Soul Suppressing Sect, he was known for his skill in breaking arrays, but the art of setting up arrays was not his forte.

Fortunately, the "Nightmare Divine Annihilation Array" was an array that came with the array plate in his hand.

He doesn't need to worry about it; he just needs to inject magic power to use it.

This array plate is of a very high level, capable of summoning endless nightmare monsters that devour the mind of those who enter the array.

Once their minds are clouded, the nightmare will drag them into an eternal dream, devouring their souls and making the formation even stronger.

This is a formation that can be improved. Ao Sheng obtained it by chance in an ancient cultivation cave. In the past, when he used it, he was always successful.

Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators cannot even last a quarter of an hour.

However, this formation is harmful to both sides. After dragging the enemy into the formation, the owner of the formation plate will also enter the formation on their own and experience the same nightmare monster devouring as the person who enters the formation.

Whoever gives up first will be trapped in the formation forever.

Moreover, once the Nightmare Divine Array is activated, the array's owner cannot move, making them an easy target for any external enemies.

Therefore, Osun has always been extremely cautious when using this array plate, and has only used it three times so far.

We have no other choice now; it's a matter of life and death, and we have no choice but to use it.

Although he experienced the same pain as those who entered the formation, Ao Sheng, who controlled the formation, had many advantages. For example, he could check the condition of all those who entered the formation. Among them, except for the green-robed youth, they were all teetering on the brink of collapse.

Ao Sheng was overjoyed and continued to increase his magical power to stimulate the formation to operate.

Even if the pressure is greater, he will crush these people, especially that young man in the green robe.

However, at that moment, the green-robed youth suddenly formed a hand seal, and countless water snakes slammed into a dark corner. Instantly, the formation shook violently, and the countless menacing nightmares fell silent.

"How can this be?"

Ao Sheng was shocked; the green-robed youth had actually struck a node in the Nightmare God's Absolute Array.

This was by no means an accident, because the green-robed youth was still breaking through the formation.

"Could he also be a formation master?"

Ao Sheng was incredulous and quickly put away the Nightmare Divine Annihilation Array.

The Nightmare Divine Array covers a vast area with countless nodes. Even if the green-robed youth finds a part of it, he cannot destroy the entire array.

But the enemy might break out of the formation alone while he's still inside, then we're doomed.

Ao Sheng put away the array plate and, without saying a word, transformed into a streak of light, attempting to escape.

But Li Xiangming caught up in the blink of an eye, his Weeping Spirit Desolate Heaven Rope wrapping around Ao Sheng's waist several times.

Ao Sheng struggled desperately, bombarding the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope with all sorts of spells and talismans, but to no avail.

In just a few breaths, Aosheng was wrapped up like a rice dumpling by ropes.

Li Xiangming's gaze was cold; he showed no mercy, not even giving Ao Sheng a final chance to beg for mercy.

With a slight increase in his strength, the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope tightened abruptly, bursting into bursts of blood mist. The red light on the rope intensified, frantically absorbing the surrounding blood mist.

Ao Sheng's body rapidly withered and eventually turned into a dried corpse.

"In charge!"

With an urgent call, Li Xiangfeng and the others broke free from the illusion array and rushed to Li Xiangming's side, panting.

Their gazes fell on Ao Sheng's mummified corpse, a hint of barely concealed fear flashing in their eyes.

The illusion array they just used almost wiped out their entire army.

Li Xiangming loosened the ropes and casually rolled Ao Sheng's array plate and storage bag into his arms.

The mummified corpse, having lost its support, fell from the sky.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Li Xiangming sent a burst of flame flying from his fingertips, turning Ao Sheng's corpse into ashes in mid-air, which then scattered with the wind.

"Clean up all traces around it."

Li Xiangming instructed that killing Ao Sheng was important, but preventing the Zhenhun Sect from investigating was even more important.

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison, but Li Xiangfeng cautiously asked, "Aren't you going to leave any 'marks'?"

He had not forgotten the purpose of this attack on Ao Sheng.

"No need, the cleaner the better. We'll leave wearing Shengyi Sect clothes, and someone will report to Zhenhun Sect that someone from Shengyi Sect has passed through this area."

After Li Xiangming finished speaking, he squeezed the storage bag in his hand, somewhat hesitant.

There must be a lot of good stuff inside, but he can't open it for the time being.

Carrying this thing is too risky.

After a moment's thought, Li Xiangming decided to give up this unexpected windfall. He threw down the storage bag, tore it to pieces with the Weeping Spirit Desolate Sky Rope, and then burned it with fire magic, causing it to disappear into the world along with Ao Sheng.

"Pity."

Li Jihu, standing next to him, looked on with envy. He was already at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but he didn't even have a storage bag of his own.

Such a good storage bag, just like that, gone to waste.

Li Xiangming remained silent. He knew that if he took the storage bag and wandered around Pu County, the Zhenhun Sect might not be able to find him in a short time.

He also has the opportunity to break the seal on the storage bag and retrieve the treasure inside.

But this goes against the original intention of this operation.

The disciples of Shengyi Sect attacked Ao Sheng without needing to hide or conceal their attack.

However, Li Xiangming did not come away empty-handed. He rubbed the array plate in his hand with great satisfaction.

He had always wanted to improve his skills in illusion.

This array has come at just the right time.

"gone!"

Li Xiangming put away the array plate and led everyone to quickly leave the scene.

Dressed in the clothes of Shengyimen, they disappeared silently into the night, leaving behind only a desolate wilderness, as if nothing had happened.
