Five streaks of light flew through the emerald ocean, slashing the ocean apart, which took a long time before it returned to normal.

They were naturally Mu Chen and company.

“According to this speed, we will arrive at our destination in roughly half an incense’s time.”

Hearing Kong Ling’er’s words, Mu Chen nodded his head. “What do you guys plan to do after we’ve arrived? Are we going to make a move to capture the Peak Blood Essence?”

Shaking her head, Kong Ling’er had a fearful expression on her face as she replied, “Although we have used some means to obstruct Huang Xuanzhi, I’m afraid that he will be able to swiftly catch up. If we don’t get rid of that threat, we won’t be able to capture it with ease.”

“Then, you guys are deciding to deal with Huang Xuanzhi first?” Mu Chen smiled.

“Deal?” Lin Cang burst into laughed as he continued, “I do see that we have an advantage in numbers, but it’s insufficient to deal with Huang Xuanzhi.”

“It looks like he has cast a pretty significant shadow in your hearts.” Mu Chen smiled.

“Hmph, you think that his name as the unrivaled talent of aerial Divine Beasts is baseless?” Xiao Tian coldly snorted.

“Enough, let’s not fight.” Kong Ling’er became the peacemaker before she turned to Mu Chen. “We have no intentions of dealing with Huang Xuanzhi, we just need to trap him so that we can capture that Peak Blood Essence. After we’ve finished our distribution, we will swiftly leave the Deification Pool. So even Huang Xuanzhi can’t do anything to us, even if he wanted to.”

Nodding his head, Mu Chen asked, “How do you guys intend to trap him? What do you need me to do?”

With a smile, Kong Ling’er grasped her hand and a golden compass appeared. It was engraved with complicated runes that permeated a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation.

“Spiritual Array Compass?” Mu Chen squinted his eyes. He had instantly recognised that there’s a powerful Spiritual Array engraved in it.

“This Spiritual Array Compass contains a Spiritual Void Array. It’s on the level of an Immortal Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor. Although the offensive ability isn’t high, it’s suitable to trap enemies. If one is trapped within it, even an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign would be trapped for days.” Kong Ling’er smiled.

Evidently, they came prepared.

Nodding his head, Mu Chen calmly said, “Although the Spiritual Array is convenient, there are a lot of restrictions, and it can only be constructed at a fixed location. The moment it’s formed, it will also emit fluctuations. Huang Xuanzhi isn’t a fool, and he won’t blindly step into the trap.”

He’s a Spiritual Array Grandmaster, so he was naturally familiar with Spiritual Array Compasses.

“Brother Mu is right.” Kong Ling’er nodded her head before she continued, “The reason why we invited you was so we could hide and find an opportunity to ambush him. I hope that Brother Mu can earnestly help and force Huang Xuanzhi into the Spiritual Array.”

After a brief pondering, Mu Chen nodded his head. Although he wasn’t afraid of Huang Xuanzhi, there was no need for him to have a decisive battle right here. After all, he didn’t wholly trust Kong Ling’er’s group.

Seeing that Mu Chen had agreed, Kong Ling’er smiled and they continued their journey.

Half an incense’s time later, the five of them gradually slowed down and Mu Chen’s face turned grave. He could sense a powerful and terrifying bloodline fluctuation up ahead.

It was way more powerful than those he had previously encountered, especially when he could sense it so early from such a distance.

As the five of them gradually approached, they finally came to a stop and saw a massive being from far away.

It was a being that seemed like a scarlet phoenix and peacock. Although its wings were folded together, it was a few thousand feet and a massive bloodline aura permeated from it.

“It’s accumulating bloodline aura and trying to break through to Saint.” Mu Chen looked at it with a grave expression. That big fellow should be in the Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, with an opportunity to breakthrough.

Fortunately, this Peak Blood Essence didn’t contain any intellect. So although it possessed a boundless bloodline aura, it couldn’t efficiently use it. Otherwise, not even a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign could do anything to it.

“We’ll quickly set up the Spiritual Array.” Kong Ling’er reminded before she tossed the compass. A golden streak flew and a golden radiance burst out from the ocean.

As countless lights intertwined, it gradually took the form of a massive Spiritual Array ten-odd breaths later.

Along with the construction of this Spiritual Array, it also emanated a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation that caused the surroundings to fluctuate.

“The commotion is too great.” Lin Cang and Xiao Tian knitted their brows and they couldn’t help saying. Evidently, the commotion caused by this Spiritual Array has exceeded their expectations.

Kong Ling’er had also knitted her brows, since she wasn’t a Spiritual Array Master. Thus, she never expected that the commotion would be so great as well. If that’s the case, then Huang Xuanzhi would be able to sense it and have his guard raised beforehand.

“No harm, we can just set up a Spiritual Concealment Array around it.” Mu Chen suddenly laughed and he waved his hand. Countless spiritual seals flew out and formed into another Spiritual Array outside that Spiritual Void Array.

Looking at this new array, the commotion caused by the Spiritual Void Array calmed down before it gradually merged into the ocean and hid from everyone’s senses.

“So Brother Mu also has such high attainments in Spiritual Arrays.” Kong Ling’er exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Cang and Xiao Tian also looked at Mu Chen in shock. This fellow was truly capable of being able to hold such fame in the Great Thousand World.

“It’s a small Spiritual Array.” Mu Chen casually smiled before he shook his head. “We should get ready.”

Kong Ling’er, and the other two nodded their heads before they gradually merged with the ocean. Even their Spiritual Energy fluctuation had disappeared.

“Nine Nether, leave this place first.” As their Spiritual Energy merged into the ocean, Mu Chen turned to Nine Nether.

Nine Nether wasn’t strong enough to achieve complete concealment of her Spiritual Energy. Thus, she could only leave, or Huang Xuanzhi would detect her.

Nodding her head, Nine Nether warned, “Be careful.”

She was reminding Mu Chen to be careful of Kong Ling’er and company, as well as Huang Xuanzhi.

With a smile, Mu Chen nodded his head. He was a cautious person to begin with. Thus, he would naturally not treat Kong Ling’er and company as true companions that he could trust.

“Bring this jade talisman with you. If there’s anything, I will be able to sense it.” Mu Chen quietly passed a jade talisman to Nine Nether. Although the possibility of Kong Ling’er and company colluding with Huang Xuanzhi was small, and the latter wouldn’t do something so scheming with his prideful character, he had to prepare for the worst situations. If the situation had truly progressed in that direction, then he would be able to instantly slaughter everyone there.

When Nine Nether received it, she did not speak anymore and left.

After watching her silhouette disappear, Mu Chen had also swiftly merged with the ocean. Soon, the ocean calmed down with only the massive being permeating a terrifying bloodline aura.

However, that silence did not last for long.

Roughly half an hour later, a commotion finally resounded as a golden streak tore through the ocean at a remarkable speed.

In just a few breaths, that golden light had traveled over a few myriad miles and appeared in this region. There was a pair of phoenix wings behind that silhouette that flickered with a dazzling golden luster that emanated a noble air. It was Huang Xuanzhi!

When he arrived, his gaze was instantly focused on that massive being before he burst out and wanted to take action.

𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But just when he was about to make take action, the ocean around him suddenly exploded with sharp cries that echoed out.

Boundless spiritual light wreaked havoc and had formed into a triangle formation that charged towards Huang Xuanzhi.

Their combined attacks were ferocious and could even heavily injure a genuine Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

The sudden changes were unexpected, but Huang Xuanzhi didn’t panic. On the contrary, he laughed and his robes fluttered, before he gently pushed his palm out.

Space immediately shattered under his palm as it spread out with a destructive force that tore those three attacks into pieces.

As the ocean rolled, three silhouettes trembled and appeared in the ocean. It was Kong Ling’er, Lin Cang, and Xiao Tian, who had pale expressions. They had shock in their eyes. They never expected that Huang Xuanzhi would so easily resolve their combined attack.

Looking at the three of them, Huang Xuanzhi was akin to an emperor as his laughter echoed, “Kong Ling’er, Lin Cang, and Xiao Tian. The three of you really persistent!”
