Eastern Wasteland

Eastern Wasteland "Young brother, why are you in my master's Cave Mansion?"

The old man was the eldest, and also the first to come back to his senses. He raised the Black Banner in his hand and asked with a frown.

When Chen Mobai heard that, his heart cried out that this was bad, while an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

Since in the Immortal Sect, one could not probe another person's cultivation without the owner's permission, he did not know the two people's realms either, but judging from their spiritual energy fluctuations, they should not have been much different from him.

Moreover, the way this old man and young man entered this Cave Mansion made it obvious at a glance that they had grasped the correct Key.

Although he had entered the Water Mansion unintentionally, he had, after all, occupied this treasured place and cultivated here for several days. Now that he had been caught on the spot by the master's disciples, he still felt a little awkward.

"Please don't take offense, elder. I also entered by accident. I'll leave immediately."

Chen Mobai was about to leave, but when he suddenly saw the unfamiliar distance between the old man and the young man who had entered the Water Mansion, a thought flashed through his mind, and he stopped moving.

"So that's how it is. The Azure Water Array shows no traces of damage. Since young brother says he strayed in by accident, that should be true."

The old man shook the Black Banner in his hand, checked the great array protecting the entire Cave Mansion, then confirmed that the Restrictions on the three Side Halls were intact. He let out a breath of relief and nodded to Chen Mobai.

"This old man will open the array now. Young brother can just go out."

As he spoke, Chen Mobai saw that at the entrance of the front hall, the light barrier enveloping the Water Mansion revealed a hole two meters in diameter, but the water outside did not surge in, as if it had been blocked by some invisible force.

Under the gazes of the old man and the young man, and with their attitude clearly one of seeing off a guest, Chen Mobai still had suspicions in his heart, but he nodded lightly all the same, passed between the two of them, and walked to the opening.

Buzz! Just as Chen Mobai was about to step through the hole in the light barrier, a green radiance seemed like ink poured out across the heavens, spilling from his clenched palm and transforming into a suit of wooden armor that covered his entire body, wrapping him up completely.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Three yellow-brown long needles appeared at some unknown moment, their tips carrying dim yellow ghostly glimmers as they stabbed into the wooden armor in front of Chen Mobai.

"Isn't this just trespassing in a private residence? To actually use such a vicious hand—do laws and justice still exist or not!"

Chen Mobai turned back and saw the ordinary-looking youth holding a Needle Box in one hand and forming hand seals with the other, his eyes icy cold. He could not help but fly into a rage.

On Earth Origin Star ruled by the Immortal Sect, its internal governance upheld the legal system of the previous civilization.

Murder was a serious crime.

This time, if the "Wood Armor Talisman" had not already been pre-activated by Chen Mobai and automatically triggered when attacked, he would probably have already lost his life on the spot.

"Why aren't you attacking!"

When the brown-clothed youth saw that his Magic Artifact had been blocked, and Chen Mobai looked "brimming with killing intent," he feared that the other party might have some method to make them both perish. Although he was already at Qi Cultivation Level 6, before breaking open the Restrictions, he did not want to waste too much spiritual energy.

So while drawing another three long needles from the Needle Box, he shouted at the old man.

"Good, watch this old man's divine thunder!"

Hearing this, the old man shouted loudly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He waved the Black Banner in his hand toward Chen Mobai, then with his other hand, flung a deep-blue Talisman Paper out from his sleeve.

But the direction this Talisman Paper was aimed at was the brown-clothed youth.

There was only the crack of thunder. The brown-clothed youth cursed angrily, then forcibly reversed his spiritual energy, turning the flying needles he had already controlled and prepared to shoot at Chen Mobai, changing their tips to stab toward the old man.

While Chen Mobai was still wearing a completely baffled expression, the brown-clothed youth was struck by the old man's divine thunder and fell with an unwilling look on his face.

As for his flying needles, they were blocked by the power of the Water Mansion array that the old man controlled by waving the Black Banner.

With a series of "ding ding ding" sounds, the flying needles fell onto the Floor Tiles, their tips stabbing straight in, showing just how sharp they were.

"Hahaha, with just the third-rate inheritance of your measly Flying Needle Sect, you actually wanted to split the gains of this secret realm equally with this old man? This is the lawless Eastern Wasteland."

Amid his loud laughter, the old man once again waved the Black Banner in his hand, controlling the Azure Water Array as he tried to kill Chen Mobai, but the power of the latter's "Wood Armor Talisman" had not yet been exhausted, and it blocked the water waves that rushed at his face.

"Where exactly is this place? Eastern Wasteland? Among the Immortal Sect's Thirty-Six Cave Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, there is no such place name."

Chen Mobai had originally still been immersed in the huge shock of the old man and the young man turning on each other without mercy and trying to kill each other, but the scorching heat of the Wood Armor Talisman in his palm running out of spiritual energy and beginning to burn instantly woke him up.

The old man's cultivation was unknown, but the Black Banner in his hand was the central hub of this Water Mansion's great array, capable of controlling the power of the entire great array.

Although this Azure Water Array had no killing power, once Chen Mobai was trapped, if he took a hit from a thunder talisman like the brown-clothed youth had, his end would definitely be the same—dead beyond any further dying.

At the critical juncture between life and death, Chen Mobai did not hesitate at all. He unleashed a Green Arrow Talisman he had prepared to activate long ago.

Hiss hiss hiss...

A full five green long arrows seemed like vines as they emerged from the void, covering the area where the old man was at an extremely fast speed.

"Hmph. If we were outside the Water Mansion, this old man would definitely retreat three shes."

The old man chuckled and confidently waved the Black Banner in his hand. The power of the Azure Water Array was stirred into motion, turning into invisible ripples that froze the four green long arrows falling before him in midair.

"You little brat, how did you cultivate to Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer? Your aim is so poor..."

Just as the old man was smiling and preparing to seal the opening, completely trapping Chen Mobai to death, his expression suddenly stiffened.

Because he discovered that the Azure Water Array was no longer under his control. Then he saw that the hole in the light barrier, which had originally been about to close, had stopped. But Chen Mobai, who could originally have used this chance to escape the Water Mansion's great array, had stopped at the opening instead, taken out two more Green Arrow Talismans, and was staring at him coldly.

"How did this kid know this Formation Flag governs 'defense'?"

The old man looked around in all directions, and his heart could not help but tremble.

It turned out that with Chen Mobai's Green Arrow Talisman, the four Spiritual Arrows that had blasted toward him were only a feint, used to draw his attention.

The other arrow, which had seemed to shoot wide, had landed precisely on an array foundation not far from him, snapping a Formation Flag inserted into it.

Although the Azure Water Array was a Second-Order Array, when facing attacks from inside the array, it had no defensive power at all.

Chen Mobai, who had long since explored this Water Mansion clearly, used this point to destroy one corner's Formation Flag, causing the originally smoothly circulating great array to immediately jam.

The old man's face was ashen. He looked at the three Side Halls at the rear of the Water Mansion, but sensing that the Talismans in Chen Mobai's hand were already about to activate, he gritted his teeth and prepared to retreat.

His cultivation was only Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

If not for the Black Banner in his hand being the central hub controlling this Azure Water Array, he would never have dared to make a move against both the brown-clothed youth and Chen Mobai.

But just at that moment, green light flickered across the sky. The two Green Arrow Talismans in Chen Mobai's hand had already been triggered, and ten Spiritual Arrows formed across the air, aimed at the old man.

"Young brother, no, senior, please show mercy..."
