Chapter 168: Sealing the Cave

Latest website: www.mhtxs.cc

By the time Qian Hong realized he had the wisdom pearl, the demon hunter masters had already sealed off all the cave entrances.

Broken stones were piled into a wall, and Mo Hua drew an array on the wall. Then another wall of broken stones was built, and Mo Hua drew on it again. Then another was built, and Mo Hua drew on it a third time.

There were three walls in total, inside and out, with three sets of arrays.

Mo Hua had asked for several hundred spirit stones from Elder Yu. After crushing them, he injected the spirit power into the arrays, activating the earth wood restore arrays.

Gray and light green patterns intertwined on the arrays. Spirit power seeped into the broken stones, mixing the earth and stones together to form a hard barrier.

"Can this array hold up?" Elder Yu was still a little uneasy.

Mo Hua felt confident in his heart.

The ground fire array used paper as the array medium and could only be used once. However, the current earth wood restore array used earth and stones as the array medium and was durable. Breaking this array would be quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Furthermore, it was a Grade One restore array after all. Dealing with Qi Refining stage cultivators should be enough – if the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators Qian Hong and Qian Zhongxuan didn't make a move.

But without testing it, it was hard to say for sure.

So Mo Hua only said vaguely, "Should be okay."

Things had come to this point, and Elder Yu no longer hesitated. He ordered all the cultivators to concentrate on digging an escape tunnel and not to mine the remaining spirit stones.

They had to dig out the escape tunnel before the Qian family could break into the mine cave.

The movements of the demon hunter masters were also detected by the Qian family.

Qian Hong sneered, "As expected, Yu Changlin sealed the cave entrance and is digging an escape tunnel."

After saying that, he ordered the Qian family cultivators to scout. The Qian family cultivators finished scouting and reported back to Qian Hong, saying that the cave entrance had been sealed by a wall built of earth and stones.

Qian Hong didn't care. A wall built of some gray earth and broken stones, even if it sealed the cave entrance, wouldn't take two days to break.

But the Qian family cultivators struggled at the cave entrance for half a day and returned, saying:

"Reporting to the family master, we can't break it."

Qian Hong frowned, "What can't be broken?"

That disciple lowered his head and said, "The cave entrance is sealed by earth and stones, we can't break it..."

Qian Hong's brows furrowed even tighter.

Qian Zhongxuan was slightly startled when he heard this. He had some guesses in his heart, and a hint of schadenfreude appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Qian Hong said, "Let me go and see."

Qian Hong came to the cave entrance sealed by earth and stones and naturally detected the array fluctuations on the earth and stones.

There was an array drawn on this... ?

Qian Hong had a vague feeling that something was wrong and instructed, "You all try hitting it a bit."

Several Qian family cultivators went up, some using knives, some using swords, some chopping with their bare hands, and some using spells.

Although they could chisel open the broken stones and create some gaps, soon these broken stones seemed to have a life of their own and gathered together again.

It was as if these stones were like earth and wood, growing together, and could even automatically repair themselves.

The Qian family cultivators hit it again with cracking sounds, exhausted and panting, but the effect was still minimal.

Qian Hong couldn't hold back. He drew his sword and chopped down with one strike.

This sword used his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. The spirit power was like condensed substance. The sword qi reached and shaved off a layer of broken stones.

Qian Hong was still shocked in his heart, "Grade One array?"

Did Qian Zhongxuan not lie? There really was someone inside the demon hunter masters who could draw a Grade One array!

Qian Zhongxuan saw Qian Hong's surprised appearance and was extremely pleased in his heart.

"A seven-array-line array, in the end, it's only so-so. Presumably, the family master will soon be able to break this array and capture all these demon hunter masters!"

Outwardly, Qian Zhongxuan still had a serious face, but his tone was somewhat sarcastic.

Qian Hong's face remained expressionless, slightly angry in his heart, but unable to retort.

The demon hunter masters' array master was just an ordinary array master who could only draw seven array lines.

These words were spoken by himself. If he denied it, he would be slapping himself in the face.

He could only endure Qian Zhongxuan's sarcasm at this time and settle accounts with him later.

The most thorny problem now was how to break the cave entrance, attack the mine cave, kill this group of demon hunter masters, seize the spirit stones, and occupy the spirit mine.

Qian Hong made a gesture to act himself, when suddenly Elder Yu's voice came from above:

"We agreed that Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't make a move. You have no shame."

Qian Hong looked up and indeed saw Elder Yu standing in front of the only unsealed cave entrance on the mountainside, looking at them with mockery.

Qian Hong sneered, "We can't make a move on cultivators, but we didn't say we can't make a move on mountain stones."

Elder Yu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Then you make your move. I'll watch you here."

Qian Hong wrinkled his brow. Instead, he didn't dare to make a move.

If he broke the cave entrance and consumed more spirit power, and Yu Changlin made a move to sneak attack, he might not be able to win.

If this was reported to the Dao Court department, Yu Changlin could also argue that their Qian family's Foundation Establishment cultivators were the first to make a move.

The Qian family's Foundation Establishment cultivators making a move to break the demon hunter masters' array could indeed be considered the Qian family making the first move.

Moreover, there was still a Qian Zhongxuan beside him. If he made a move himself, it might instead allow him to take advantage.

After hesitating, Qian Hong withdrew his hand.

"Good, then I will abide by the agreement and only let the Qi Refining cultivators make a move."

Yu Changlin breathed a sigh of relief, but felt even more contempt for Qian Hong in his heart:

"Then don't be a dog in the manger. Get out of the way earlier and move aside so that those little bastards under you in the Qi Refining stage can come and see if they can break this mine cave."

Qian Hong looked at Elder Yu with venom and waved his hand as a signal.

The Qian family cultivators then went up one after another, some using knives and swords, some using martial arts and dao methods, some using spells, attacking the earth and stones at the cave entrance one by one.

When one cultivator was exhausted, the next one would take over.

As for the cave entrance where Yu Changlin appeared, with one man guarding the pass, ten thousand could not open it. It was impossible for them to kill their way in.

Only by opening several cave entrances and advancing in parallel, allowing a large team of cultivators to attack, could they possibly defeat these demon hunter masters.

Although the defense of the Grade One earth wood restore array was strong, it also relied on the spirit power of spirit stones to support the array's effect.

Each time it was damaged, the spirit power would consume a little.

The Qian family cultivators attacked continuously for several days, day and night, and finally successfully broke one earth wood restore array.

With a booming sound, the first stone wall lost the array's support and collapsed into broken stones.

All the Qian family cultivators were greatly encouraged and showed joy.

But they didn't rejoice for long before realizing something was wrong. Because behind the stone wall, there was another stone wall.

They tried chopping it with a knife, but the earth and stones on the wall remained unmoved. Obviously, there was also an array drawn on this one.

The Qian family cultivators showed despair on their faces, and Qian Hong's eyelids twitched even more.

He never thought that Yu Changlin would be so ruthless, setting up two stone walls and two sets of arrays.

Wait, there wouldn't be more than just two, would there...

Qian Hong gritted his teeth and let the Qian family cultivators pause to rest. After resting, they continued to attack.

Things had come to this point, and he had no way back.

When the Qian family began to attack the mine cave, Elder Yu was just inside, listening intently. As he listened, he suddenly found that the Qian family had stopped moving again. He couldn't help but doubt and say:

"Why aren't they hitting it?"

"They can't break it."

After these few days, Mo Hua had also finally confirmed the effect of the Grade One earth wood array. For Qi Refining stage cultivators, this set of arrays was very difficult to break.

Moreover, Mo Hua had set up three layers inside and out.

Elder Yu still didn't quite understand, "Why can't they just break it?"

"This is a Grade One restore array. Breaking through all three layers will tire them to death!"

"Restore array?" Elder Yu had never heard of it before and was a little confused.

"It's an array that is a bit more powerful than a Grade One array," Mo Hua explained.

Elder Yu's eyes widened. More powerful than a Grade One array?

Then he said, "Then this array, can't it defend for a very long time?"

Mo Hua estimated a bit and nodded. If Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't make a move, it could indeed defend for a very, very long time.

Assuming they didn't lack food and drink.

Elder Yu was stunned, then deeply regretted it.

If he had known earlier that Mo Hua's array was so effective, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to dig an escape tunnel.

There were still quite a few spirit mines that hadn't been mined inside this mine cave...

Those were all spirit stones!

The usually thrifty Elder Yu had a heartbroken expression.

Mo Hua saw through Elder Yu's thoughts, thought for a moment, and his eyes brightened as he said:

"How about we be more absolute? Don't even give them any soup to drink!"

These words went to Elder Yu's heart. He thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Indeed, waste is a punishment from heaven!"
