Covered in Flags...

In the Qian residence, by the fishpond in the backyard, Jiang Lin and Qin Xiao lay in armchairs, each holding a fishing rod in one hand and a teacup in the other. Sunlight shone on their faces, making them look very comfortable.

The Doggy, meanwhile, lay down next to Jiang Lin's armchair, peacefully napping while hugging its chew toy.

"Junior brother, is it really alright for us to be so relaxed?" Yawning, Qin Xiao put down his teacup and scratched his toes.

"Don't worry, it's alright. If I remember correctly, activating the Blood Name Array is not a simple matter. It can only be activated at night, and the Blood Name Array requires the blood of cultivators. In addition to us, there should be more than a dozen rogue cultivators and cultivators from other sects in the city."

Although they're not very strong, they're all sticking together. Besides, it's practically impossible for anything to happen during the day... and if something does happen, we'll all be in trouble together."

"Hmm? Why is that?"

"Because the activation of the Blood Name Array requires not only the blood of cultivators, but also the right timing, which is the Blood Moon."

The success rate of the Blood Name Array will be maximized only when the blood of the last required cultivator is absorbed during the Blood Moon.

So, Senior Brother Qin, have you noticed recently that there haven't been any fluctuations in Spiritual Power battles during the past few days since we arrived?

That's because the enemy is afraid of alerting us, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll be wiped out at night."

Jiang Lin gazed at the calm lake surface, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

This is the calm before the storm.

If I remember correctly, according to my calculations, Blood Moon will appear tonight or tomorrow night, which is the best time to trigger the Blood Name Array.

When the Blood Moon hangs in the sky, the Blood Name Array will be activated. At that time, the cultivators of the Dugu Demonic Sect in Donglin City will surely come out in full force to fight us. In the end, no matter which side we are on, our blood will become the driving force for the activation of the Blood Name Array.

So we can just wait here; they'll come knocking eventually.

"Then, junior brother, why didn't we launch a surprise attack during the day to disrupt the formation?"

Jiang Lin rolled his eyes at Qin Xiao: "Senior brother, do you think I don't want to? The problem is that the Blood Name Array has a main formation and eight secondary formations in the directions. After half a year of development, the Blood Name Array in Donglin City must have matured by now."

At this point, unless everything is destroyed, even if eight points are destroyed, the Blood Name Array will still activate.

Moreover, although few people know about the Blood Name Array, the other side isn't stupid either; they'll definitely have various traps and ambushes in the various secondary formation buildings.

Even if we knew the exact locations of all the formations in the Blood Name Array, so what?

"It's like playing League of Legends. If they fight us outside their towers, we can at least put up a fight. But if we're already at a disadvantage and then charge into their high ground tower to engage, isn't that just suicide?"

"Wait... Junior brother, I don't understand what you said at the end..."

"This... [League of Legends] is a game from my hometown, you don't need to understand it, anyway, now... we can only wait... and passively engage in team fights..."

Jiang Lin sighed, a faint sadness in his eyes...

To be honest, when Jiang Lin learned last night that this was Blood Name Array, and that the array was basically complete, Jiang Lin had an urge to run away...

Although once you enter Donglin City, you basically can't get out, because Jiang Lin vaguely remembered a passage about the Blood Name Array in a book written by Tai Er Zhenjun:

[When the Blood Name Array is nearing completion, the caster has no way out, and those who enter the array also have no way out. Any living creature that forcibly leaves the array will eventually turn into a blood mist.]

In other words, when they stepped into Donglin City, it was as if they had entered Swallowing Forest.

There's absolutely no way to leave unless you defeat the boss inside.

Donglin City is now a cage where you can only enter but not leave.

Donglin City is currently trapped under a pot; forcibly breaking through this pot will only result in certain death...

However, for Jiang Lin, none of these constraints existed...

My Resurrection Coin allow me to resurrect freely within a hundred miles, so how could this Blood Name Array possibly trap me...?

However, Jiang Lin still did not choose to run away...

This Blood Name Array requires not only the blood of cultivators, but also the blood of ordinary people to activate it.

Donglin City is just a small city in the Wutong Continent, like finding Xiamen on a map of Asia —just a tiny dot... but the world of cultivation is so vast...

In fact, the total area of Donglin City was equivalent to two Luoyang on Earth, and its population Liao Liao nearly 3 million...

Three million living, breathing people...

According to a 50/50 split...

Half men and half women...

1.5 million young women... Although 150,000 of them are elderly women... they were young once too, they were young women once too...

If I hadn't known and hadn't come, that would have been fine, but I'm already here... already involved in this incident, and maybe I can even save these 1.5 million girls...

How could I just walk away like that?

What if my future wife is one of them? What would I do then...?

And my senior sisters are still here (Qin Xiao is also included)...

Although there's a possibility that my senior sister might climb Twin Pearl Peak and kill herself countless times in the future.

But my senior sister will always be my senior sister...

And although the senior sister is the main character, nothing unexpected should happen...

But Jiang Lin just couldn't put his mind at ease...

Jiang Lin absolutely did not want to see his senior sister die!

Without realizing it, Jiang Lin recalled the first time he met his senior sister; the summer dress she wore was truly beautiful...

Okay, Jiang Lin admits he was just lusting after his senior sister's body, but he's honest, and that deserves praise.

Jiang Lin looked up at the sky... the sun was shining brightly.

"Senior brother, you should go back first. Tell senior sister everything I told you this afternoon, but don't say it was me who told you. This person prefers to Manifestation of Sainthood."

"..."

Although Qin Xiao really wanted to complain that her senior sister had heard everything, Qin Xiao held back...

"Alright then, I'll head back first. Junior brother, be careful. Once things are settled in Donglin City, I'll take you to find the most beautiful girl and pet the furniest cat-eared girl!"

Jiang Lin's brow twitched. "Senior brother, do you know? You're just like an old general on a theatrical stage..."

"Why?"

"Covered in flags..."

"Ha?"

"Never mind, senior brother, you take this." Jiang Lin reached into his crotch (a crotch Storage Bag, specially made by Xiao Hei).

He took out several cylindrical objects with pull rings from his Storage Bag and gave them to Qin Xiao.

"What is this?" Looking at the long, thick object in his hand, Qin Xiao examined it from left to right...

This is called...

High Explosive Grenade..."
