The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Lin Du ran very fast, mainly to give himself some extra time, such as... dismantling the array plate.

After arriving at the location, she did not immediately break the formation, but instead found a secluded spot to test the formation plate.

Fortunately, there is no copyright law in the cultivation world, so Lin Du doesn't need to use it for profit. Otherwise, she would probably end up with a pair of silver bracelets as she dismantles them. It's perfectly reasonable for them to dismantle her formations and for her to dismantle theirs.

If other array masters have it, Lin Du must have it too!

I'll make one myself when I get back!

After quickly disassembling the array plate to confirm the array and materials, Lin Du quickly put it back together, having a rough idea in his mind.

At that very moment, the disciple's token at his waist rang, announcing, "Junior Uncle, I've arrived too."

Lin Du emerged from behind the boulder with feigned composure and a kind expression. "You're here. Let's begin."

The formations of the Wuji Sect are unique secrets, but when Yan Ye was young, out of curiosity, he broke into the defensive formation of the former residence of a great master of the Wuji Sect. Coincidentally, in order to stump Lin Du, he gave her a homework assignment.

Lin Du channeled his spiritual power and led Yan Qing into their formation.

The territory where Wuji Sect is located is bordered by mountains on one side and water on the other, with beautiful scenery all in sight.

One person entering the formation has one set of moves; two people entering the formation have two sets of moves.

"Listen to my commands and follow my instructions. When I tell you to make the cut, you make the cut."

Two figures, one in blue and one in green, moved forward little by little amidst the mountains and rivers, like birds in the mountains and dragonflies on the water, in a strange Bagua snake shape.

One person was seen holding a fan, another a knife, one breaking through water, and another splitting rocks.

A glimmer of light appeared on the shallow lake, rapidly moving forward along the top of the fan like a skipping stone. Lin Du quickly closed the folding fan and stepped onto the light before it disappeared, entering the interior of the Wuji Gate step by step.

Yan Qing followed the vibrating stones, rapidly ascending upwards.

Just as they were about to reach the shore, the Wuji Sect members spotted Lin Du on the lake. From afar, an arrow, carrying the intent to drive him away swiftly, shot straight toward Lin Du's face.

Almost reflexively, Lin Du used his waist as a fulcrum to spin sideways in the air, completing a half-arc before standing on the water again, the sharp sword with its whistling sound almost grazing past him.

She had just sat up when she saw dozens of arrows hurtling towards her like a storm.

Lin Du sighed softly, "There's a Grand Perfection of the Cloud Transformation Realm guarding the lakeside, and there should be two more Early Cloud Transformation Realm guards guarding the flag inside. The other two are probably outside. Yan Qing, I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Yan Qing quickly replied, "No problem."

Lin Du hesitated for a moment, then instead of throwing out his short blade, he flew into the formation and threw out several spirit talismans from afar.

Lin Du was capable of fighting, but he wanted to keep a trump card for himself.

Her greatest strength is not the Floating Life Fan, but the short blade killing formation that can be formed in a short time, as well as close-range fist tactics.

These are her last two cards.

She cannot reveal it.

How can you defeat an enemy of a higher level without revealing your true strength?

Of course, it's about using the sect's deep foundation and the family's wealth to create this cheat code!

boom!boom!

Two huge splashes of water shot into the sky from the shore. This time, they were not waste pills, but Heavenly Thunder Seeds that Mo Lin had refined himself.

The eldest nephew should at least feel a sense of involvement.

The power of the Heavenly Thunderbolt was already immense, and Lin Du had calculated the strongest range of the two shockwaves combined, ensuring that it would just reach the spot where the cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Cloud Soaring Realm was standing.

The water, mixed with the power of lightning, carried a powerful shockwave that blasted a person at the peak of the Cloud Ascension Realm directly into the sky, leaving their hands and feet numb.

Although the paralysis only lasted a few breaths, it was already fatal for a cultivator at the Cloud Ascension Realm.

Lin Du jumped ashore, holding the Floating Life Fan across the man's neck, its sharp edge just a hair's breadth away from his artery.

"I'm sorry, I'll take you to find your two fellow disciples outside."

Lin Du's voice was tinged with laughter.

When the man met Lin Du's eyes, the intense shock and numb pain still lingered in his internal organs, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Those wicked rich kids! They even use the Heavenly Thunderbolts in pairs!

To deal with a disciple at the Great Perfection of the Cloud Soaring Realm, wouldn't one of these Heavenly Thunder Childs be enough?

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, before the Lianheng Sect members even reached the Wuji Sect's territory, they saw that the Wushang Sect's banner had become five banners above their heads.

The two looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Lin Du happened to emerge from the woods. "You've arrived? Come in."

The natural way the host acted astounded the two disciples of the Lianheng Sect.

"No...didn't we say we were just going into someone else's territory to check if there were any ominous formation nodes? Why are you still..."

"Oh, by the way, by the way." Lin Du smiled.

Meng Ling: ...

He asked cautiously, "So, will we have to do this in all twenty-five of our territories?"

Lin Du laughed, "How could that be?"

"I did have that idea, but even if we planted the flag, there would be no guards, and I didn't have time to set up an array, so I gave up on it."

Lin Du's expression was calm, but his tone was regretful.

Meng Ling: She actually thought about it?! That's outrageous! Utterly outrageous!

"Let's go, today is almost over. We've only explored three array points, this is the fourth. At this rate, we'll probably be finished before we can explore the remaining twenty-one and figure out what this great array is."

Lin Du, holding the array plate, naturally walked to Jin Rui's side and placed it between them so that she could examine it together.

So Meng Ling watched helplessly as her junior sister was abducted by Lin Du.

That's outrageous!

He followed behind resentfully, and without paying attention, he noticed that the two people had turned a corner, and he had crashed headfirst into a big tree.

Meng Ling covered her forehead, involuntarily thinking of what Lin Du had said: a twitching left eye means good fortune, a twitching right eye means bad luck, and twitching in both eyes means disaster is coming...

"I have a feeling that the formation might be underwater."

Lin Du held the array plate. "This array plate should be waterproof. Can you swim, sister?"

Jin Rui nodded. "Array masters also need to comprehend the spirit of heaven and earth. Some arrays need to be set up underwater, so they will learn them eventually."

"Let's go then."

Without asking the opinion of the tails hanging behind them, the two jumped into the lake together.

Meng Ling stood by the lake, her face a deathly pale blue-purple, staring blankly for a while before silently remaining where she was, probing her spiritual sense underwater to prevent any mishaps.

Lin Du has a natural affinity for water, and with his brainwashing in Luoze every day, he can reach any underwater location at top speed, even with a person on his back.

Jin Rui then realized that Lin Du, though thin, was incredibly strong, like a spear that plunges into the deep sea and breaks through all the ice, capable of being worth a thousand troops in silence.

Once the two reached the bottom of the lake, the energy detection bar of the array plate surged again, and the light was so bright that it could be used as a searchlight.

Lin Du had a plan in mind, and he led Jin Rui to explore underwater. Suddenly, Jin Rui grabbed his wrist at one spot.

"Wait a minute," Jin Rui gestured.

Lin Du focused his attention and followed Jin Rui's slender finger to see a stone.

At first glance, the stone seemed unremarkable, but when Jin Rui struggled to turn it around, she saw fine scales.

Those are not fish scales.

It is the scale of the man-eating amberjack of the demon race. Because of its hard texture and special ability to sense the flesh and blood of spiritual cultivators, it is often used by demon cultivators to find the array plates of spiritual cultivators.

This thing could never just randomly appear at the bottom of a lake in a spiritual retreat.

The two looked at each other underwater and both saw the heaviness on each other's faces.

If there was previously a 50% chance that the organizers had set up some protective measures or other teleportation arrays in the secret realm, now that possibility is almost zero.

This is a secret realm, a man-made miniature world created by weapon refiners, array masters, and mechanics using various rare materials such as Breath Soil, Heavenly Stone, and Meteorites. It is impossible for such an array to have such a clear array eye and fluctuating energy.

Now there is only one possibility left: the demonic cultivators have set up a large array that covers the entire fifth level of the secret realm.

Lin Du watched for a while, then Jin Rui pulled her aside, pointed to her mouth and nose, and then to the array plate.

They should hurry up and finish surveying the entire lakebed so they can go up and draw maps.

Once they have gathered enough information on the distribution of various energy attributes of most of the array's cores, they can basically determine what kind of array it is and how to eliminate it one by one.

Meng Ling was greeted by two people with serious expressions.

Lin Du dried himself off and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Meng Ling's deadpan face, which looked so troubled after hearing what had happened.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, if I remember correctly, you are the top disciple of the new generation of Lianheng Sect. You were already a Xuan-grade array master before you were a hundred years old. You are the most famous genius array master today. On the Qingyun Ranking, you seem to be only after Jin Xuan. Why do you always look like something terrible has happened?"

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Meng Ling couldn't help but wonder, "If it was a demonic cultivator who made the move, then they must be a highly skilled individual, no less powerful than the great masters of Zhongzhou. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to tamper with things here. What level are we at? I can't even figure out which formation it is..."

He felt a tightness in his chest when he saw Lin Du's nonchalant and indifferent expression.

Then he heard a reply that was tinged with laughter and could be described as arrogant and conceited.

"What are you afraid of? We are array masters."

"You use the four ranks and thirty-six levels of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow to classify array masters, but ask yourselves honestly, do you really not understand a single array of a Heaven-rank array master? Do you really think you can't destroy it at all?"

"To put it bluntly, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. When it comes to formations, if even one thing goes wrong, it will eventually affect the entire formation."

"We are young and weak, and lack experience, but our minds are fresh and new. Our names are now listed on the stone pillars of the Qingyun List, and those who are exceptionally gifted are us who are here."

Lin Du stared intently at Meng Ling, raised an eyebrow and tilted his head, "Believe it or not, the cunning ones might be those old guys, but the ones with the sharpest minds are definitely us young people."
