Chapter 181: Seven Malice Poison Array
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Grand Master Chen Beixuan, why don’t you pick on someone your own size?”
A shadowy grey figure strolled down to the ground from the sky. Every step he took covered at least half a dozen meters. He covered the few hundred-meter long distance in a snap of a finger. When the figure was close, everyone finally saw that he was an old man in a dark green Daoist robe
Despite the white hair that covered his head, his face was glowing with life. His skin was as smooth as a baby’s that underscored his otherworldliness: a quality of a Celestial Immortal.
“Sect Master.” Members of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect cried at their Sect Master.
The man was the Sect Master of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect, the King of Elixirs. He was a Perfected cultivator.
The Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect had never seen so many casualties ever since its conception. The True Martial’s Dharmic Blade could cut through anything, let it be a Alchemists or a talented Martial artist, all it took for Chen Fan was one sweep of his blade to do away with them.
Zhu Yuntao could only stare. He found it hard to reconcile the G.o.dly power of Chen Fan with the image of a rich playboy that traveled with him. Zhu Ruohan hid behind her brother, only poking her head out to watch the development in fear.
“When Qi Zhenyan led a group of people to gang up on me, he thought that I was just a helpless kid, but he didn’t care either. Why should I?” Chen Fan said lightly.
“Zhenyan is already dead, why can’t you just let it go and call it off?” The King of Elixirs said in a deep voice.
“Sure, I can call it off, but will you? Will your sect members call it off?” Chen Fan cracked a smile sarcastically.
He traced a sign in the air with two fingers and murmured a spell. Suddenly, two loud voices carrying out a conversation came up somewhere in the valley. The voices sounded hollow as if it was a replay of a recording.
“We are wasting our time. We still have so many Dao-Reaching Level cultivators and Internal Force martial artists, we should be able to bring him down!”
“It’s impossible to capture Chen Beixuan with an army. The Grandmasters are true dragons, and they have the ability to escape any situation at will. However, if the Sect Master could call upon a couple of Grandmasters and perfected cultivators, and carry out the plan in secrecy, they might trap Chen Beixuan and capture him.”
Hearing the two voices, members of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect’s faces darkened. They lowered their heads, fearing to meet Chen Fan’s gaze.
These voices were easily recognizable, they belonged to Fifth Elder and the Grand Elder. Somehow, Chen Fan had recorded their conversation while the group of elders were discussing ways to deal with Chen Fan.
The recording justified Chen Fan’s severe punishment to the sect. There is no need to show mercy to somehow who wanted to harm a Grandmaster.
“How’s the Art of Illusive Sound? I’m open to criticism.” Chen Fan cracked a sarcastic smirk.
Ever since he was let into the valley, his Immortal Will had reached straight into the Medicine G.o.d Hall.
Thanks to the energy in the golden figurine, he could extend his Immortal Will over a few hundred meters out now. It just so happened that the elders were discussing methods of killing Chen Fan when Chen Fan probed the main hall.
Grand Elder and Fifth Elder’s faces flushed red. The other members of the sect also lowered their heads in shame. They were caught red-handed while conspiring a murder. They were at fault from the outset and brought down the wrath of a Grandmaster by themselves.
The Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect Master remained calm. “Excellent skills, Grandmaster Chen Fan. I have never seen such a spell in action before. It appears that everyone had underestimated you. You are not only a Grandmaster Martial artist but also a Perfected cultivator who had reached Dharma Cultivation.”
He paused a second and then said with furrowed brows: “As far as I know, only the Wu Dang Sect practiced Martial-Dharma Dual Cultivation. Do you happen to come from the Wu Dang Sect as well?”
“You would have never heard of the name of my sect, and neither is it for your ear.” Chen Fan said readily. “I need all the thousand-year-old herbs in your sect, and I will leave as soon as I get what I want and will never return again.”
“Hehe, Chen Beixuan, you are an arrogant fool!” King of Elixirs scowled. “If we met anywhere else, I might have to think twice before I confronted you, but this is my turf, and my predecessors had settled here for centuries to build it up. I would not allow you to do whatever you want in here.”
So saying, he fished out a turtle sh.e.l.l, and shouted: “Array, Arise!”
Suddenly, a plume of seven-colored smoke billowed up from the ground. It started with a thin wisp of smoke, and quickly grew into the size of a forest fire and covered the entire valley. Looking up at the smoke from below, it was as if a colorful blanket had fallen over the sky above the valley.
“Seven Malice Poison Array!”
The Grand Elder exclaimed.
This was the most powerful array of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect. It was cast here by a powerful figure who came to ask for help over a few centuries ago. The powerful cultivator was said to have reached beyond the Dharma Cultivation. The array had only limited use and therefore, over the few hundred years, it had only been activated three times.
Realization gleamed in Grand Elders eyes. The Sect Master was not refining an artifact in seclusion, he was preparing the array formation.
A shred of hope lit up on the faces of other members of the sect.
The Seven Malice Poison Array had always been the stuff of legend. Everyone had heard of it but none had seen it in action. Legend had it that a demon beast used to invade the sect a few hundred years ago. The beast had reached the Dharma Cultivation level and was more powerful than even the Sect Master at that time. In the end, the sect members activated the array and finally killed the beast.
“Dharma Array? Interesting.”
Chen Fan looked at the colorful cloud with great interest.
