Chapter 1225: Chapter Five Hundred and Eighteen: Crisis Chapter 1225: Chapter Five Hundred and Eighteen: Crisis Underground passage

White-faced scholar Xiang Ziliang, holding the Formation Eye Stake, looked with unwillingness at the gasping woman and said softly, “Miss, stop trying so hard. The Formation Eye Stake contains the core energy of the entire array, and as an Array master, I can naturally control this power. You cannot defeat me.”

At least not in the Mortal Realm, definitely no chance of defeating me, no matter how many there are.

Xiang Ziliang thought this to himself, then glanced at the several array masters lying unconscious beside him, and sighed at the woman continuously attacking the light screen with Yun Hands.

Just now, when he had been transferring the array hub with his people, a woman caught up and knocked the other array masters, who were as weak as chickens, to the ground with just a couple of moves.

But he was not like them. Xiang Ziliang, with a formation stake in hand, pointed a finger and a blue light screen shot out from his fingertip. At first, it was only as big as a palm, but three feet away from his body, it grew into a light wall that covered the entire passage, crushing dozens of Yun Hands and then slammed hard onto the woman’s body, sending her flying again.

As the power of the light wall was depleted, the woman crashed heavily against the rocky wall and slid down, causing one’s heart to ache while watching.

“Alas… Miss, why do you have to do this?”

Xiang Ziliang bowed his head, glanced at his fingers, and said softly, “I know, you are the Ghost Assassin. The clan head moved the formation to South City in order to capture you… You should just surrender.”

“Surrender?”

A weak yet stubborn voice echoed in the dark space, as the woman struggled to her feet once more, her head bowed and her whole body trembling, “I just want to return to Chaochang to live a good life. What crime have I committed, why should I surrender?”

“…”

Xiang Ziliang bowed his head, switched the Formation Eye Stake from his right hand to his left, and wiped his sweat-soaked hand on his trousers while speaking hesitantly, “I don’t know, but there are so many others in the world who are wronged, not just you.”

“Actually, I sympathize with you.” Xiang Ziliang lifted his head, speaking solemnly, “I’ve seen your file in the Wind Media Department. Even though you have the highest bounty in Chaochang, you have never done anything evil. Everyone you killed deserved to die. Even though they bear the Xiang name, I think they deserved death.”

Perhaps not expecting Xiang Ziliang to say this, Yun Xiu was somewhat stunned and opened her mouth, not knowing what to respond.

“It’s like arrays. Everyone knows that the more nodes an array has, the more powerful it is. But hankering for power by endlessly adding nodes will only result in the array’s paralysis.”

Suddenly shifting the topic to arrays, Xiang Ziliang became a completely different person, filled with confidence, “It’s the same with managing a city-state. Those people are like ineffective links in an array’s nodes. Their existence makes the array congested and bloated, eventually leading to a blockade that paralyzes the array. So, I believe that equating you with criminals disrupting the order of Chaochang is foolish.”

“I admire you!”

Xiang Ziliang suddenly stood firm and said earnestly to Yun Xiu, “You are different from those from the Yun Family who caused trouble in Chaochang the other day. You truly want to make Chaochang better.”

“Phew~~”

Yun Xiu took a deep breath and looking up at Xiang Ziliang, asked, “Why are you telling me all this?”

“I hope you can survive.”

Xiang Ziliang addressed Yun Xiu, “You should go. I’ll tell the others that you escaped.”

“Thank you for your kindness.”

Yun Xiu charged at Xiang Ziliang yet again, “But I have reasons I cannot give up on!”

“Bang!”

The light wall reappeared, but this time without the gradual process that made Yun Xiu think she could catch a gap if she was fast enough, but she was disappointed.

Even the Dapeng Grandmaster was trapped to death in Lu Shaolin’s array; let alone Yun Xiu, who was just in the Mortal Realm.

Xiang Ziliang truly did not wish to personally kill someone he admired, so he spoke again, urging her, “Don’t try anymore, your companions absolutely can’t escape from the grandmasters and camp leaders alive, but you still have a chance!”

“I’m sorry…”

Within the dark passage, a woman’s voice, weak and self-blaming, suddenly sounded.

Xiang Ziliang thought he had persuaded the other person and comforted her softly, “It’s okay, there’s nothing shameful about it, you’re not like them at all, go on, hurry up and leave this place.”

The woman lifted her head, her eyes seemingly glowing as she stared straight at Xiang Ziliang and said somberly, “You really are a good person.”

“…”

“If every member of the Xiang Family were like you, perhaps the situation today would be very different.”

“…”

“I can tell that you’re an extremely skilled Array Master, can you help me by shutting down the formation?”

“…”

As Xiang Ziliang, holding the Formation Eye stakes, looked into Yun Xiu’s eyes, he felt his heart stir, but wouldn’t shutting down the formation abruptly bring about the clan leader’s punishment?

Thinking this, his hands didn’t pause for a moment. Xiang Ziliang drove the Formation Stakes into a certain void node, the array’s light screen suddenly trembled, then shattered.

After completing all of this, Xiang Ziliang heaved a sigh of relief, turned to look at Yun Xiu, his mouth moved, but in the end, all he said was, “You better leave quickly.”

“I can’t leave now,” Yun Xiu shook her head, walked up to Xiang Ziliang without any defenses, and said softly, “If I leave now, Xiang Ange won’t let you off. I have to knock you out and take away the Formation Eye stakes to keep you free from blame.”

“You don’t have to do this…” Xiang Ziliang lowered his head: “I’ve said before, I admire you, and I’m doing all this willingly.”

“You are a good person…”

Yun Xiu delivered a chop with the edge of her hand and as Xiang Ziliang passed out with a smile on his face, she apologized, “…I’m sorry.”

With the Cold Moon Spirit Concealment Array broken, it was not a good thing for the two people on the ground.

Tang Luo, who had just found Du Sha and wanted to take him away through the Spirit World Passage, hadn’t even finished forming the seal, when he was hit by the remnants of the White Tiger Roar.

Dozens of houses reduced to rubble, and the shockwave threw him and Du Sha out, causing them to crash heavily onto the ground.

“Heh, now we’re really in for it!”

Struggling to stand up with Du Sha’s support, Tang Luo squinted at the sky and felt his heart sinking continuously.

Yanyun Grandmaster Xiang Yan, the Xiang Family’s Ancestor Xiang Qian, those two who had reached the pinnacle of the Fierce Realm, who he had seen before at the Qiankun Tower.

Three teams, all formed by Martial Ancestors, and in the distance, there were orderly marching sounds, they were definitely encircled.

“Where’s the hostage?” Tang Luo asked Du Sha with a raised lip as he nudged him with his elbow.

“Right here.”

Du Sha dragged the unconscious woman out of the cauldron and handed her over to Tang Luo.

“Well, whether we survive or not depends on how long this hostage can buy us.”

Grabbing the hostage by the nape of the neck, Tang Luo shouted toward the two Grandmasters in the sky, “Xiang Family’s Ancestor, let’s make a deal!”

“A deal?”

Struggling to suppress the anger in his heart, Xiang Qian shouted back at the two people amidst the ruins, “Give us the city lord, and I can leave your two bodies intact!”
