Formation Master Jiu Hai!

Whether the Lord is speechless or not, the Night Owl doesn't know...

Night Owl knows that those who previously said our Lord was narrow-minded were talking complete nonsense!

Look at our lord... even Black Sha like him has survived this long. Tell me, what gives you the right to say our lord is narrow-minded?

Forget about being narrow-minded; our Lord's heart is as vast as the ocean!

If our lord were even slightly narrow-minded, he would have been driven to his death by Black Sha long ago...

Night Owl was a clever man, and Night Owl was extremely satisfied with his master's arrangements this time!

Look... Night Owl doesn't know exactly how capable Jiu Hai is, but Night Owl does know that entrusting this assassination to Jiu Hai is actually the easiest thing to do.

If Jiu Hai succeeds, then he will have completed his mission. Regardless of how successful he was this time, this nightmare will finally be over...

That's right, this mission was like a nightmare for Night Owl.

Night Owl is a ruthless killer; what kind of monsters and demons hasn't he encountered?

But this time, Night Owl said it was too damn weird... these accidents just kept happening one after another.

Before arriving, Night Owl wondered if Black Sha's repeated failures meant there was something wrong with Black Sha.

Why did the cult leader instruct that Black Sha should disappear after the deed was done?

The reason is that the cult leader also suspected that Black Sha had harbored disloyal intentions and deliberately caused the failure.

After all, look at what Black Sha did before, it was just too outrageous, wasn't it?

But what Night Owl wants to say now is... the leader might really be wrong this time... Black Sha is probably genuinely alright...

Because what happened to me was even more outrageous than what Black Sha encountered...

So even Night Owl felt sorry for Black Sha...

So Night Owl wants now is to end this nightmare as soon as possible!

Night Owl once heard a senior colleague tell him that this senior had attempted to assassinate a target over thirty times, but each attempt failed for various absurd reasons...

Ultimately, the senior had no choice but to abandon the assassination attempt.

Later, Night Owl heard from this senior that a wise man advised him afterwards that giving up at the time was the right thing to do... the assassination target was probably not meant to die.

In other words, there is an unseen force preventing any power from killing him...

Now, Night Owl thinks that Yue Ling is probably the same; she was destined to survive, which is why so many seemingly absurd things are happening.

Night Owl heard from that senior that if you stubbornly continue to assassinate someone whose life is not meant to end, you might end up losing your own life, not theirs.

Night Owl didn't know if Yue Ling was truly destined to survive, but Night Owl did know that recently, both the things that had happened to Black Sha and the things that had happened to him seemed rather eerie.

Therefore, in this situation, it would be best to let Jiu Hai take action.

Regardless of whether Yue Ling was truly destined to survive, if Jiu Hai can kill her, that's Jiu Hai's skill, and I'll consider my mission accomplished.

And if Jiu Hai fails... that would be even better... Jiu Hai is a powerful expert that the sect leader invited from Lord Qiu Tian of the Spirit Beast Continent. If even Jiu Hai can't do it, wouldn't that prove that his previous consecutive failures were completely without fault?

Black Sha agreed with Night Owl's assessment that those whose lives were not meant to end were those whose fates were sealed.

Because such outrageous things kept happening one after another, this was the first time Black Sha had ever seen anything like it!

Therefore, Black Sha believes that Night Owl's statement that the Yue Ling should not end is entirely correct...

Just as Black Sha and Night Owl were discussing why Yue Ling shouldn't end, a cold voice drifted over from afar!

"Heh... Not destined to die? There's no such thing as someone Wuming; there are only useless people who can't do it..."

This sudden sound enraged Black Sha, who had been irritable for the past few days!

"Who the hell is this bastard daring to talk back to your grandpa!" A flash of black light appeared in Black Sha's hand, and a huge ghost-headed blade appeared in his grasp!

Carrying his ghost-headed saber, Black Sha charged out in the direction the sound came from.

Just as Black Sha was about to step out of the courtyard, a blue light flashed beneath the ground, and countless array patterns appeared. Driven by these array patterns, countless blue vines instantly coiled towards Black Sha.

"Destroy!" Black Sha Fiend swung his Ghost Head Blade, unleashing a massive blade of light that aimed to tear apart the surrounding vines. But just as the blade touched the vines, an unbelievable scene unfolded before Black Sha's eyes!

It should be noted that the knife in Black Sha's hand was also a treasure. Logically, the vines should have been instantly cut to pieces. However, after the knife light touched the vines, the vines actually swallowed the knife light, and then the vines directly wrapped Black Sha up like a dumpling!

The Black Sha's bones cracked and popped as the vines bound him, and in an instant, it felt as if his internal organs were about to be crushed!

"Lord Jiu Hai, please wait Black Sha controls the Tracking Spirit Orb; don't let this delay our important business!"

Night Owl now knew the identity of the newcomer. The Azure Wood Magic Array he had just used was incredibly terrifying; Black Sha had no ability to resist in the slightest.

This person was none other than Jiu Hai, Ninth Rank array master under Lord Qiu Tian from the Demonic Sect the Spirit Beast Continent!

"So this piece of trash is actually somewhat useful after all..." Jiu Hai looked coldly at Black Sha.

At this moment, Jiu Hai opened his palm and then clenched it again, and with this clench, the vines that wrapped around the Black Sha shattered instantly.

The vines were broken, and countless fragments burrowed into Black Sha's body. Night Owl knew this wouldn't kill Black Sha, but the vines seemed to be highly poisonous. Now that they were inside Black Sha's body, they would definitely cause Black Sha pain.

And it won't be just for a short while; it'll probably hurt for a very, very long time!

"Ah..." Sure enough, Black Sha rolled back and forth on the ground in pain...

"Moon Shadow Cult Night Owl greets Lord Jiu Hai..." Night Owl was no fool like Black Sha Fiend; at this moment, Night Owl respectfully bowed to Jiu Hai.

"You're quite sensible, no need for formalities..." Jiu Hai glanced at Night Owl with his slightly effeminate gaze.

Night Owl spoke again, "Lord Jiu Hai, that fool Black Sha Fiend offended you and deserves death, but sir, this matter is of utmost importance, and that fool still possesses the Tracking Spirit Orb, so Night Owl begs you..."

Jiu Hai clearly understood that important matters couldn't be delayed. He glanced disdainfully at the howling Black Sha on the ground, then waved his hand again, sending countless fragments of vines flying out from Black Sha's body...

Although the pain nearly killed Black Sha on the spot, after that, because the poisonous vines stopped releasing toxins, Black Sha stopped screaming in place...

"I admire Night Owl Jiu Hai's methods..." Night Owl's words were not mere flattery.

Among cultivators, array masters are an extremely rare profession...

There's no way around it; most other cultivators with a bit of talent can get started, but it's different for array masters. Array masters need absolute talent!

Other cultivators might say that talent doesn't guarantee success, and that various fortuitous encounters can change your destiny.

But array masters are different. From the moment an array master determines your talent, they decide your fate for the rest of your life.

Take Chu Xinghe for example. When they discovered Chu Xinghe's Innate Formation Mastery, even Yan Shoujing was terrified!

The Innate Formation Mastery means that you have virtually no limits in the art of formations... This is why even White Tiger wanted to take Chu Xinghe as his disciple.

If you don't have enough natural talent, then I'm sorry, no matter how hard you try later, it won't help.

Because the arrangement of formations doesn't depend on how hard you work... it's purely based on talent!

If you practice swordsmanship, even without talent, you can rely on hard work. Others may comprehend the Sword Intent of Sword Intent with a single strike, but you can eventually comprehend it with ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even a million strikes.

However, formations are different. A formation placed in water, on land, or on different terrains at different times will be completely different.

Therefore, the White Tiger Holy Venerable once said that there will never be a completely identical formation in this world.

Therefore, how to set up the formation depends on the various changes on the ground.

This cannot be achieved through experience and effort alone; it requires a formation master's innate sensitivity to everything around them and the formation diagram to alter it.

Therefore, for array masters, talent alone determines their fate.

There are Martial Warrior in this world who were initially deemed useless, but eventually stood at the peak through various coincidences and hard work.

But throughout history, no formation master in the world has ever reached the pinnacle of formations without sufficient talent.

Let alone reaching the pinnacle, it's impossible to even surpass one's own talent.

Therefore, array masters are an extremely rare profession throughout the Four Continents.

What the heck? You said a lot of people can set up teleportation arrays?

Brother... teleportation arrays are not even considered beginner level in the art of formations... Just because you can set up a teleportation array or a Spirit Gathering Formation doesn't make you a formation master.

True array masters are extremely rare Four Continents. Talent is one reason for their scarcity, but more importantly, array masters... are incredibly expensive...

If you let a sword cultivator practice, you just need to give him a sword, a cultivation technique, some spirit stones, and enough guidance, and that should be enough.

But array masters are different. Their training requires constantly setting up and deducing arrays.

Setting up this formation requires a lot of resources... and so does deduce this formation.

It is no exaggeration to say that a single array master of the same level consumes the resources of at least several hundred ordinary cultivators!

Therefore, there are basically no high-level array masters among Rogue Cultivators...

All the array masters come from various powerful factions.

The resources required to train a formation master are simply too numerous!

However, a trained array master can also possess terrifying combat power!

If you train a sword cultivator, it would be excellent if he could fight five opponents of the same level alone; if he could fight ten opponents alone, then he would be a genius.

However, a formation master of the same level can even be as capable as one against a thousand!

Don't the major factions know how much energy array masters consume? Why are they still training them so frantically?

The reason is simple: the destructive power of a formation master is simply too great.

Looking at the Jiu Hai before him, Night Owl could only think, "With such a terrifying array master in hand, how can you possibly lose this time?"
