After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 374 Setting a Trap!

The area where the formation was attacked still retained traces of energy that had not completely dissipated.

At the same time, the giant beast avatar at the top of the sky awoke from its cultivation, hovered within the quicksand layer, and began to overlook the eastern side of the Giant Mountain Range.

Unfortunately, the attacker left too quickly, and their whereabouts were never caught.

Shen Can only managed to gather a portion of the remaining aura.

He attacked and then fled, which caught him off guard.

Logically speaking, since they've already come all this way, they shouldn't have launched a fierce attack on the great formation and then taunted the human ants, saying, "We've come to take you down."
That's great, they hit you once and then ran away, what's the meaning of that?

At the banquet in the Pu Clan Royal Court, the sixth-tier martial artist from the ancient city of Tu Shang was clearly interested in the formations of the Giant Yue Mountains.

Given such interest, it's a bit unusual to just attack and leave, unless they're going back to redeploy troops and gather manpower for a major attack on the human alliance.

Leaving aside the power of the grand formation, the array masters and craftsmen cultivated by the Human Alliance over the past century alone constitute a great wealth.

Afterwards, Shen Can gathered together the Snow Fern Beast King, Yan Chong, Lu Zhen and other formation masters.

"Reduce the area covered by the formation by one circle."

Once the combined array of the Giant Mountain Range is activated, the area it covers is not fixed; the boundary can be fine-tuned. For example, a portion of the array's range can be reduced by 30,000 to 50,000 miles, while another portion can be expanded outwards by 30,000 to 50,000 miles.

Of course, large-scale changes of hundreds of thousands of miles or more would require major adjustments to the base.

At this moment, Shen Can instructed the array masters to begin making minor adjustments to the array.

This will also serve as a trap for those who are eyeing the Human Alliance.

The array formation of the Juyue Mountains stretches for over a million miles. In this situation, if the boundary is slightly reduced by 30,000 to 50,000 miles, it will not be noticeable at all.

With this shrinking range of 30,000 to 50,000 miles, when the invaders approach the formation, the formation will restore its original coverage area, thus trapping the invaders inside.

This is also the advantage of combined formations. If it were like an ancient formation, where the formation was a single, fixed whole with a fixed base, then it wouldn't have this capability.

Having received their instructions, Lu Zhen, the Snow Fern Beast King, and the others took turns leading the array masters and craftsmen to get to work.

In an instant, starlight burst forth everywhere in the Star Array of the Giant Mountain Range, and the stellar power drawn down surged like water in the predetermined direction.

Under the starlight, it was actually very difficult to see that the formation had changed over such a large area.

While the formation was being fine-tuned, Shen Can didn't rest either. He checked the adjusted formation and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no problems.

Hopefully, this move will give the spy a big surprise.

The grand formation, painstakingly built over decades, can be considered a rehearsal in advance, so as to avoid being too unfamiliar with dealing with the Xuan Bird later.

The Star Array has been slightly adjusted. Some places that were not originally required to be relocated in the previous four-state relocation plan have now been included in the relocation plan to the depths of the giant mountain due to the change in the range of the array.

There's no room for discussion on this point. The Star Array covers too large a range, which is a disadvantage for the Human Alliance in terms of defense.

These tribes and peoples are too close to the edge of the formation, making them easy targets for enemies to see through it.

If the enemy launches an attack near human settlements, even with a large protective array, the energy fluctuations will be too great for ordinary humans to withstand.

……

After attacking the Star Array, Yin Xun turned and headed towards the direction of the Pu Clan's royal court.

The grand formation built by the Human Alliance was even more awe-inspiring than what he had seen when he searched the souls of the Pu Clan warriors.

The immense array, stretching for millions of miles, served as the best buffer against a single strike.

This isn't a grand formation at all; it's clearly an incredibly sturdy tortoise shell.

It's a tortoise shell of indescribable size. As long as the base of the formation remains intact, doesn't that mean it can continuously neutralize external attacks?

Such incredible power of a tiny human race.

This must belong to his Holy Hou clan!

Yin Xun couldn't help but think that if his Holy Hou clan mastered this method, the great formation they built would be many times stronger than the one built by the human race in this remote and impoverished place.
A seventh-order grand formation!

The seventh rank instantly shook Yin Xun to his core.

Yin Xun went to the Juyue Mountains; his thoughts were simple and honest.

Besides verifying the authenticity of the human race's formation, another reason was to claim the credit.

If he could subdue a group of humans capable of building large formations and make them slaves of the Holy Hou Clan, this achievement would surely allow him to rise to prominence.

Unfortunately, I didn't expect the human race's formation to be so sturdy.

Yin Xun was helpless. He wasn't blind. After his attack, the energy of the attacking array was dispersed and completely consumed by the array in the blink of an eye.

In this situation, even a hundred more blows would be futile.

This is not something I can overcome by myself alone.

Instead of scratching their heads outside the great formation, they should return and gather the clan's strongest members to break through the human race's great formation in one fell swoop and capture this group of humans.

As long as you can defeat the human race, you will still be credited.

Moreover, their achievements will be even greater than before.

The difference between a formation that he could break at the sixth level and a formation that could only be broken after reporting to the clan and calling on the clan members to join forces is enormous.

This represents the potential of the grand formation, which could be even more helpful to the Holy Hou Clan's current crisis.

As for whether summoning his clansmen would break the great formation, Yin Xun had no doubt about it.

The human race's great formation is powerful and can disperse its attack power by relying on its massive array. However, if an attack that exceeds the formation's instantaneous defensive power arrives, it can tear the formation apart in an instant, giving the formation no time to disperse its attack power.

"That old codger, Silver Queen, is she really going to be a force to be reckoned with from now on!"

On the way back to the Pu Clan's royal court, Yin Xun became increasingly jealous of Yin Hou.

This guy was originally a sixth-tier array master in the clan, and his status was even higher than his.

Now, having obtained such a powerful array inheritance, Yin Xun couldn't help but imagine that if this combination of arrays could truly form a seventh-order defensive array, then the future status of the Silver Queen within the clan would be unimaginable.

"You old bastard, you deserve to die."

Yin Xun grew angrier the more he thought about it, cursing incessantly in his mind.

We agreed to be brothers, but now you're aiming for the position of patriarch.

He deserves to die!
Despite cursing under his breath, Yin Xun acted decisively, charging straight towards the Pu Clan's royal court.

Now that the Silver Queen has obtained such a formation inheritance, he also checked it when he came over. The Silver Queen was completely immersed in comprehension, and her perception of external fluctuations and changes was reduced, so it can be said that her safety was reduced to the lowest level.

He's going to protect the Silver Queen!
After returning to the palace outside the capital of the Pu tribe, Yin Xun first checked on the Empress's condition, and then chose to rest in the palace next to the Empress's seclusion.

After entering the palace, Yin Xun first calmed himself down and sorted out how to report to his clan before taking out the Bi Yi Jade Token.

hum!
As the jade pendant absorbed the source energy, the lovebirds came back to life.

"How it goes."

The voice of the Holy Hou clan lord came out from the jade tablet first.

"Clan leader, it's actually a great thing that the Silver Queen is alright!"

"Perhaps the crisis of my Holy Hou clan can be resolved!"

Yin Xun's words left the leader of the Holy Hou clan completely bewildered.

"We've found the Black Bird!" A slightly excited voice came from the jade tablet, and even the Holy Hou Clan Chief could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

Damn it, our ancestors have eyes!

"No."

Yin Xun quickly spoke up, "Clan leader, we didn't find the Xuan Bird, but instead found a formation that has never been seen in the Great Wilderness before. Empress Yin has already accepted the inheritance of this formation."

Yin Xun spoke very quickly, fearing that if he paused, the clan leader would want to bite him to death through the communication jade tablet.

"This formation is a combination formation. A fourth-order formation can be combined to form a sixth-order grand formation. I personally tested it, and even with my strength, I could hardly shake the grand formation in the slightest."

“Clan leader, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that this formation was actually built by a group of human ants.”

"Heaven blesses our clan, allowing our Holy Hou clan to find this heritage."

……

Yin Xun quickly finished explaining, but no words came from the other side of the Bi Yi Yu Token.

"Clan leader?"

"Clan leader, are you listening?"

Yin Xun knew that this matter sounded a bit far-fetched, and he only confirmed it after experiencing it firsthand.

"Are you serious about what you said?"

“I swear by my ancestors that I saw it with my own eyes.”

Yin Xun spoke up, then added, "And there's also the Silver Queen; she accepted the inheritance."

"Oh, right, there's also the Pu Clan that we've been secretly supporting. One of their array masters has received the inheritance, and several martial artists witnessed it firsthand. I'll send these people back to their clan territory now so the clan leader can verify it."

After his impassioned speech, Yin Xun calmed down slightly and thought about the current predicament of the Holy Hou Clan.

Even if you want to take the array formation back, you have to do it secretly, otherwise it will be easily stolen by others.

“Send it back, I want to verify it myself.”

After a long while, the voice of the Holy Hou Clan Chief came through the jade tablet.

"Yes, I will personally escort the Silver Queen and the Pu Clan warriors back."

Yin Xun spoke up, "Clan leader, rest assured, I will make arrangements here in Zhangyang Market. I will use the excuse that Empress Yin was severely injured by the looters while escorting the supplies, so that I can follow her back."

At this point, Yin Xun glanced at the direction where the Empress was in seclusion.

After the Silver Queen fell into deep meditation, her combat power dropped to its lowest level, and she could be said to have completely lost the ability to protect the chariot and return.

As for the few fifth-tier servants who came with them, the fifth tier was of no use at all for such a long journey.

If they encounter raiders on their way back, the loss of resources that Tu Shang Ancient City obtained in the Dragon Kingdom will be a small matter, but if the Silver Queen suffers any mishap, the loss to the Holy Hou Clan will be too great.

The Silver Queen, currently lost in contemplation and essentially in a state similar to being severely injured and unconscious, could easily use the pretext of her caravan's chariots being robbed.

In any case, the journey is long, and it is impossible to be thorough in every aspect of the ancient city of Tushang and to be able to investigate every place.

"The clan is currently facing difficulties. The other elders are either too old or injured. I remember your cultivation level has been stuck at the early stage of the sixth rank for quite some time now. Do your job well..."

Yin Xun excitedly replied, "Yes!"

Inside the territory of the Holy Hou Clan, the clan leader was deep in thought. His own people would never deceive him, but what they said was too mysterious.

Even if such a formation truly exists, it should appear in the more prosperous central part of the Eastern Wilderness, where all the major powerful clans gather.

A moment later, the Holy Hou clan chief spoke up, "I will arrange for my clansmen to meet you!"

After ending the message, Yin Xun still couldn't suppress his excitement. After cultivating to the sixth level, his talent had actually reached its limit.

It is extremely difficult to climb higher by relying solely on one's own efforts.

In the ancient city of Tushang, there is a powerful medicine called Xuan Shen Ling Liquid. One dose can advance a sixth-stage early-stage martial artist to the middle stage of the sixth stage.

The Mystic Essence extracted from the Mystic Spirit Liquid can even help someone in the mid-stage of the sixth rank advance to the late-stage of the sixth rank.

This level of precious medicine is rare and highly sought after by all the major holy races.

After suppressing his inner turmoil, Yin Xun returned to the ancient city of Zhangyang from the Pu tribe's royal court overnight.

After returning, a few days later, under the watchful eyes of many creatures in the ancient city of Zhangyang, it flew out of the mountain-sized treasure pavilion and rushed out of the ancient city of Zhangyang with great momentum.

After making a grand entrance out of Zhangyang Ancient City, they quietly returned to the Pu Clan Royal Court, picked up the Silver Queen, and together with several Pu Clan warriors who had witnessed formations, as well as the unconscious Gray Serpent Elder, they joined the chariot and headed towards Tushang Ancient City.

……

Shen Can never expected that, while waiting, he would receive news that a sixth-order array master had been taken away. Even several members of the Pu Clan who had witnessed the great array, including the Earl of Feng, and the Earl of Gray Serpent who had 'received the array inheritance,' were also taken away in the same way.

The fact that several members of the Pu clan who knew about human formations were taken away shows that the forces of the Tu Shang Ancient City valued their own formations.

Such a powerful force, having set its sights on the formation, didn't immediately try to seize it, nor did it arrogantly storm into the Human Alliance, demanding that the humans kneel in submission. Instead, it tested the waters and left?

He relocated all the members of the Human Alliance and prepared the array traps.

What happened? They just took people and left.

Are all the powerful forces in Tu Shang Ancient City this cautious in their dealings?

Is this a plan to go back and gather manpower to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?
The Great Wilderness Holy Clan is terrifyingly powerful!
……

Yin Xun piloted the flying boat, carrying Yin Hou and others, flying eastward along the edge of the Mo Ling Clan's territory, and then passing through the territories of several other races before finally entering a vast mountain range.

Deep within the mountains, a spiritual light flickered, and after the Wuwen Spirit Barrier slowly opened, a cave dwelling was revealed.

Xun'e and Zhanche were waiting inside the cave. When they saw Yin Xun return, Xun'e quickly came to greet him.

"Owner."

"Don't delay, let's leave right away."

After transferring the Silver Queen from the airship to the chariot, the two Jade Horned Dragon Lion Beasts pulled the chariot into the air and headed northeast.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The chariots rolled across the sky, passing through the territories of one race after another.

Upon seeing the fluttering banners on the chariots, not a single creature dared to pursue them.

On the chariot, Yin Xun was in a good mood and very relaxed.

Although the escort vehicle was returning to Tushang Ancient City, this road had not had any problems for many years, and this time it was just to be on the safe side.

And so, as the sun and moon turned, more than four months later, the chariot moved from a vast, desolate land into a boundless plain.

In this vast plain, wherever you go, there are towering cities.

Each tribe centered around a giant city, with surrounding tribes attached to it, forming large and small territories for reproduction.

This is the outer perimeter of the territory of the ancient city of Tushang.

As the chariot entered the plain, Yin Xun gazed at the figures moving like ants on the plain below and softly said, "Finally back!"

Meanwhile, in the quicksand layer above the vast jungle of this wilderness, when the enormous beast's clone looked down, the chariot appeared as insignificant as an ant.

Shen Can arrived riding on the clone of a giant beast. His figure descended from the sky, leaving the clone to hide in the wilderness beyond the wasteland and wait for him.
