Chapter 209 - The Missing Array Masters (1/2)
Hiss!
Everyone's eyes changed slightly and became cautious.
They were not fools. They were all elites among the elites from the Jingdu Martial Arts Academy. Although they were quite capable, they would not look down on that place just because it was a small place.
Moreover, the one who said this was Chen Qingxuan, the head of the Array Formation Department of the Jingdu Martial Arts Academy.
His understanding of arrays was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
If he said there was a problem, then there must be a problem.
"Professor Chen, what do you think we should do now?"
Chen Qingxuan stroked his chin and said,
"If it's under normal circumstances, I can try to see what exactly is in front of us.
"But right now, we have urgent matters to attend to, so we should prioritize safety first. Let's take a detour."
"Alright! We'll listen to you."
Everyone immediately brought Chen Qingxuan and left in another direction.
...
About 20 minutes later.
"Professor Chen, I think there's a problem. We're only a hundred or so miles away from Jianghai city.
"And the lowest cultivation among us is a Xiantian sixth-grade great grandmaster. Why has it been so long? We still seem to be wandering around this mountain nest. We haven't even seen Jianghai city yet."
Chen Qingxuan's brows were almost twisted into a knot.
He was also very speechless. Logically speaking, they should have avoided the danger just now. However, in reality, they did not feel any sense of danger now. Instead, they began to wander around that mountain nest, it was as if they had entered the legendary ghost wall.
"Wait for me to take a look."
He took out some special powder from his pocket and sprinkled it on the ground. In the next second, the powder began to creak and start to burn.
Seeing that, Chen Qingxuan's expression gradually became solemn.
"Professor Chen, what does this mean?"
Chen Qingxuan took a deep breath and adjusted his glasses.
"If my guess is correct, we should be trapped in the array."
The air suddenly fell into silence.
"Professor Chen, stop fooling around."
What a joke. Being trapped in the array while following one of the top array professors in the nine provinces, what a big joke!
"I'm really not joking with you. I'm telling the truth."
The smiles on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, and there was even a bit of panic.
An array that could even confuse Professor Chen, that array was probably not simple.
Professor Chen pushed up his glasses and said again,
"Actually, I'm also quite surprised. I clearly felt the danger just now, but in the end, I still entered the array.
"Now, I'm guessing that this array has a large area, and it has illusory properties.
"The stronger the array, the less likely it is to be detected.
"When I sensed it, I should have already been at the edge of the array. At that time, we should have been heading back instead of going forward.
"In the end, after a slight movement, we entered the array.
"After entering the array, due to its illusory properties, I didn't continue to sense it.
"Just now, I also used the star pearl powder of the Ghost Bat, which can detect the array, to detect the existence of the array."
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful array master in Jianghai city."
One of them could not help but sigh, while the other's eyes lit up.
"Sigh! This array master's skill is so strong. If we get him into our team, won't we be able to complete the mission better?"
The leading divine grandmaster poured cold water on them.
"You still have the mood to think about that? We're trapped in the array now. If we can't escape, we'll be lucky to be alive, not to mention finding people."
Chen Qingxuan smiled:
"There's no need to be so nervous. Although this array is very high-level, with me here, I can ensure everyone's safety."
The others smiled.
"That's right. With Professor Chen Here, What's there to be afraid of? Professor Chen, please quickly crack this array so that we can carry out our mission."
Chen Qingxuan nodded and began to crack the array.
...
Another 20 minutes passed.
Chen Qingxuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and his expression became even more solemn.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a wondrous person in this Jianghai city. Today, I've really broadened my horizons!"
Everyone could not help but ask,
"Professor Chen, what's going on? The array hasn't been cracked?"
Chen Qingxuan nodded.
"This array is very strong. If I'm not wrong, it should have reached the level of the imperial array."
"What? An imperial array? Are you kidding us? This is just a small Jianghai city, and there are array masters who can create the imperial array?"
Chen Qingxuan explained,
