C407 Mountain Protecting Array(1)

Woo Zhengyang was deep in concentration within the protective array when he was startled by the sudden clatter of mechanisms nearby—a sign that the mountain protecting array had been breached.

Stepping out of his quarters, Zhengyang learned that two formidable experts were attacking, and Nie Fengyu, along with Uncle Fu, was preparing to confront them.

"Give me an hour!" Zhengyang said to Nie Fengyu upon finding him.

Nie Fengyu was initially taken aback by Zhengyang's request, but then he beamed with excitement. "You sly devil, you might actually be able to fix the mountain protecting array, right?"

"Fully restoring it is impossible, but I can reinforce it. If I succeed, the attacks from those experts shouldn't be able to shake it."

"That's more than enough! What a pleasant surprise!"

Inspired by insights from the Fallen Sun Tower, Nie Fengyu had led Zhengyang to this place with hope, though he hadn't dared to expect much. After the ancient catastrophe, Array Masters had become increasingly rare in the region. The last time the mountain protecting array had been even partially repaired was by a disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, and since then, no one had managed to advance the repairs or control it without the mechanisms.

Now, hearing that Zhengyang could strengthen the array, Nie Fengyu was both astonished and delighted.

"One more thing, the materials needed for the mountain protecting array..."

"Take whatever you need from the Profound Heaven Sect's treasure vault!"

"Alright!"

Without wasting any time, Zhengyang agreed and dashed toward the treasure vault.

The Treasure Pavilion, nestled within a mountain not far from Heavenly Death Peak, is where the Profound Heaven Sect stores its most valuable items. Rare herbs, spirit pills, and magical artifacts are all kept here.

Setting up a mountain-protecting array requires the best materials, and an Array Flag of the highest order would be ideal. However, such an item is rare, even for the Profound Heaven Sect or the Heavenly Martial Sect. Crafting a single Array Flag demands materials and techniques equivalent to creating a high-level magical artifact, let alone an entire set.

For standard arrays, a Heavenly Essence Stone might suffice, but for a high-level array, spirit crystals are necessary, and in significant quantities. Fortunately, Woo Zhengyang had amassed the combined wealth of the three sects from the Fallen Sun Country. With the spirit crystals from these four sects, setting up a high-level array was possible.

With all the spirit crystals in hand, Woo Zhengyang headed to the outskirts of the Profound Heaven Sect. There lay the foundation of the mountain-protecting array, which he needed to dismantle and rebuild...

Outside the gates of the Profound Heaven Sect, a man and a woman, both experts at the Martial King level, arrived. Like Liao Qinghua before them, they hovered in the air, not rushing to make a move. They were there for the No Life Sword, hoping to acquire it without bloodshed. Only if absolutely necessary would they resort to violence.

Everyone was waiting for Woo Zhengyang to make an appearance. His strength was undeniable, but could his undefeated legend continue against two experts at the Martial King level?

The gates swung open, and Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu stepped out, but there was no sign of Woo Zhengyang. This absence led many to speculate quietly among themselves.

After Woo Zhengyang's overwhelming victory against a Martial King expert, some began to wonder if his fighting prowess was truly limitless. If a few more Martial King experts showed up, could he maintain his strength?

Now, with Woo Zhengyang not appearing, the likelihood of this theory seemed to grow.

"Where are you from, friends? Why not show yourselves?" Nie Fengyu asked with a cheerful smile as he stepped outside.

"No need for introductions. We're here for the No Life Sword. Hand it over, or we fight. Your choice!" the male Martial King expert stated bluntly.

"Let me think about it..." Nie Fengyu replied.

The two Martial King experts remained silent, while Nie Fengyu pretended to ponder seriously, occasionally whispering with Uncle Fu.

The crowd was amused. It was too obvious. If they intended to hand over the sword, they wouldn't have waited until now.

"I heard your Profound Heaven Sect has a young prodigy. Where is he?" the female Martial King expert inquired.

"Our Profound Heaven Sect is blessed with talent. All our members are exceptional, and we have no shortage of young prodigies. Which one are you referring to?"

"You..."

The female expert at Martial King level was exasperated. It was likely her first time encountering such a shameless sect master. After all, someone as peculiar as Nie Fengyu holding a position like this was indeed a rarity.

"Call that young man, Woo Zhengyang, over here, or we'll take matters into our own hands!" The male expert at Martial King level was losing patience.

"Hold on a minute!" Nie Fengyu said, turning with Uncle Fu to head back into the mountain gate.

Everyone was puzzled. Why was he being so agreeable all of a sudden?

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they realized they'd been tricked. Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu had been inside for quite a while and hadn't come back out...

"Scoundrel!" the male expert at Martial King level shouted angrily.

Just as the two were about to storm the Profound Heaven Sect, Nie Fengyu and Uncle Fu reappeared.
