Chapter 186: Night Disturbance

Master Qian's expression relaxed, and he smiled gently, saying, "It's always the same tricks; clearly, he doesn't have many arrays. His standard as an array master is just so-so."

Qian Hong also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Master Qian asked again, "How is the power?"

"This time, there doesn't seem to be any Grade One arrays, and the array power is only around seven array patterns."

Master Qian nodded. "In such a short time, that array master couldn't draw so many Grade One arrays, so he could only use seven array patterns to make up the numbers."

"With seven array patterns, the power isn't great. A Qi Refining Stage Ninth Layer cultivator with an Earth Spiritual Root, wearing iron armor, could be unharmed."

Master Qian shook his head. "That's too reckless, no need. It's impossible to always charge in headfirst every time. That would both startle the snake and waste the iron armor."

Qian Hong said, "That master might have a solution."

"The method is also very simple." Master Qian smiled. "I'll have some ordinary array masters from the family go with you. They can see where these Earth Fire Arrays are."

Qian Hong was a bit doubtful. "Only array masters can see them?"

"That's right!" Master Qian said with excitement. "Everything in heaven and earth has a life cycle, and every movement leaves traces. Some things, if your spiritual sense isn't strong enough or your study isn't deep enough, you won't see any clues."

"Arrays are the same. The array patterns within them have faint spiritual power flowing. Ordinary cultivators can't distinguish it, but we who deal with array patterns year-round, who have drawn each array pattern hundreds or thousands of times, can naturally distinguish it."

Qian Hong's eyes lit up. "Then I will trouble Master Qian!"

But after thinking for a moment, he still had some worries and added, "Letting the array masters from the clan go, if they encounter danger, it wouldn't be worth the loss..."

After all, array masters spend the year studying arrays, and their own cultivation and strength are relatively weak. The Qian family invested significant effort in cultivating array masters; if they were all lost, the loss would be truly heavy.

"No harm," Master Qian said. "Array masters won't personally risk danger. They only need to look from a distance to find the positions of the Earth Fire Arrays."

Qian Hong said, "I'll dispatch some more people to protect them well."

Master Qian nodded. "That would be for the best."

At the darkest time of the night, the crescent moon was hazy, and the sky was completely black.

Several array masters from the Qian family followed Qian Shunzhi to the outside of the refining tool shop in the south of the city. They hid in the distant bushes, releasing their spiritual sense from afar, carefully distinguishing the abnormalities in the surrounding spiritual power, perceiving the fire-attribute array patterns, and thus finding the positions of the Earth Fire Arrays among them.

The Qian family's array masters compared the map of the south of the city, marked down these Earth Fire Arrays, and then handed the map to Qian Shunzhi.

Qian Shunzhi's injury was not yet healed, but this task was personally issued by the family head, and it was of great importance. If he did it well, it would be a great merit, and he would be recognized by the family head.

This was a rare opportunity in a thousand years.

Qian Shunzhi carefully put away the map, called over the Qian family disciples and a group of rogue cultivators, and pointed out the positions of the Earth Fire Arrays to them one by one.

"Remember clearly?"

The crowd of cultivators nodded.

Qian Shunzhi divided the cultivators into teams, each team was marked with a route, and then with a wave of his hand, he said, "Act!"

So, a group of cultivators, taking advantage of the cover of night, once again crept towards the outside of the refining tool shop.

Qian Shunzhi said in a low voice, "Act according to the plan."

The cultivators under his command automatically divided into several batches, approaching the refining tool shop stealthily from various routes, avoiding the ground Earth Fire Arrays.

The Qian family cultivators avoided most of the Earth Fire Arrays, and only a minority of the arrays were triggered, exploding sporadically with firelight in the night.

Some were due to the Qian family cultivators being careless and mistakenly stepping on the Earth Fire Arrays, and some were due to the Qian family array masters being negligent in their observation and not discovering the positions of the arrays.

All of this was within Qian Shunzhi's calculations.

No matter how careful they were, it was impossible to be completely without loss.

So, he divided the cultivators into several teams, attacking simultaneously. This way, even if they triggered the Earth Fire Arrays and attracted the attention of the Hunter Demon Masters, they could advance from multiple places at once, making the Hunter Demon Masters overwhelmed and exhausted from running.

The night itself was hazy, making it difficult to see things, and it was normal to be overwhelmed in the chaos.

It was also impossible for the Hunter Demon Masters to know where their own people were attacking from.

As long as they took advantage of the chaos to destroy more buildings and damage more arrays, they would have accomplished a great deed.

Qian Shunzhi watched from a distance.

His leg was injured by an Earth Fire Array blast, and he couldn't run fast, so this time he didn't personally lead the people. Moreover, he was also afraid of being caught by Elder Yu again.

Although Elder Yu was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his face was really thick, and his methods were also really wild. He couldn't guess at all how he would be tormented if he fell into Elder Yu's hands again.

There was no excuse before, so he could only go personally, but now that he was injured, it was just right to hide behind and watch the battle.

Things were progressing according to his plan.

The Earth Fire Arrays exploded, but only in sporadic places, posing little threat. Instead, they attracted the attention of the Hunter Demon Masters, which was good for a feint to the east and an attack to the west.

In several places, the Qian family cultivators had already infiltrated. There were fluctuations of spiritual power, indicating either a fight was occurring or buildings were being demolished.

In the pitch-black night, spiritual power of various colors lit up everywhere in the refining tool shop.

But the chaos only lasted for a while, and the situation quickly stabilized. The messy sounds gradually subsided, and the spiritual power fluctuations in each place also gradually calmed down.

The Qian family cultivators who had infiltrated did not come out again.

The entire refining tool shop was like a beast perched in the night, opening its big mouth and swallowing them all.

Qian Shunzhi's thoughts were confused.

What's going on?

The night was hazy, the situation was chaotic, and their feint to the east and attack to the west should have had a good effect.

Why was there no sound so quickly?

Just then, Qian Shunzhi discovered that a team of people had come out and was running straight towards their side.

The sky was dark, and Qian Shunzhi couldn't see clearly who they were, but he vaguely felt that they were definitely not his own people!

Qian Shunzhi immediately said, "Quick, quick retreat!"

After speaking, some Qian family cultivators clustered around the several array masters and quickly and busily retreated backwards.

But it was already too late. A team of Hunter Demon Masters quickly chased after them.

The leading Hunter Demon Master had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a tall and sturdy body, and clean and neat movements. It was exactly Mo Shan.

Mo Shan's figure flickered and he arrived in front of Qian Shunzhi. He punched out, fierce fire overflowing, rushing straight towards Qian Shunzhi's face.

Qian Shunzhi crossed his arms, blocking the punch, but his forearm instantly felt a burning pain, and there was a cracking sound, as if bones had broken again.

Mo Shan took advantage of the situation and kicked again. This time, Qian Shunzhi was unable to block and was directly kicked to the ground, his whole body in pain. He could see that he had no strength to run anymore.

Mo Shan threw down Qian Shunzhi and rushed straight towards those Qian family array masters.

The Qian family's guards made a move to block. Individually, they were all at the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Layer, with strong cultivation. For a short time, they could not hold back Mo Shan.

Mo Shan also didn't entangle with them too much, only circling around with simple and fierce movements, seizing the opportunity, going around these guards, and coming in front of a Qian family array master.

That array master still didn't know what had happened, only feeling a person's shadow suddenly appearing in front of his eyes, followed by a pain in his neck. His eyes went black, and he was struck unconscious by a hand chop from Mo Shan.

Mo Shan struck the array master unconscious, grabbed his collar, and casually threw him towards several Hunter Demon Masters in the distance.

Those several Hunter Demon Masters caught the array master, took out ropes, and tied him tightly like a pig.
