After Lu Baize came to Han Qingxia's side, the latter told her master the whole story. After hearing her disciple's words, Lu Baize did not intend to speak for the time being!
He wanted to see if the middle-aged man trapped inside the formation by Mo Yanyu had actually practiced that kind of evil art. But then, amidst the middle-aged man's shouts...
Less than three minutes later, everyone noticed that the middle-aged man's face had become slightly distorted, and he was exuding an indescribable ferocity!
Moreover, his spiritual power, which had been sealed by Mo Yanyu, suddenly began to recover, and he was on the verge of going mad. His eyes slowly turned blood red, and a lot of saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth!
At this moment, the middle-aged man looked exactly like the side effects of the evil technique taking hold. His eyes were fixed on Mo Yanyu's snow-white neck when he suddenly activated the unsealed spiritual power within his body!
He lunged at Mo Yanyu at lightning speed, but Mo Yanyu was prepared. When the middle-aged man was only a dozen centimeters away from Mo Yanyu, Mo Yanyu slapped him hard across the face!
Smack!
A crisp slap echoed across the open space. The middle-aged man who had practiced evil arts was immediately spun dozens of times in the air before crashing to the ground with a thud, completely unconscious!
This startled the onlookers. The middle-aged man already possessed the strength of the early stage of the Divine Power Realm, but now, by activating his evil technique, his combat power had increased by at least two times!
Just now, when he rushed towards Mo Yanyu, his cultivation level was almost at the mid-stage of the Divine Power Realm, but he was still knocked down by Mo Yanyu with a single slap. Everyone guessed that Mo Yanyu's cultivation level was at least at the peak of the Divine Power Realm or the Dao Palace Realm!
However, when Han Qingxia and her master Lu Baize saw the middle-aged man's evil power flare up, their faces instantly darkened. They hadn't expected that the formation set up by Lu Baize was just as Mo Yanyu had said!
Therefore, they suspected that there must be others who had practiced evil arts and had not been detected by the formation, thus sneaking into the city. If they were not found soon, unrest would break out in the city before long!
In particular, Han Qingxia remembered that Mo Yanyu had said before that there were three people around who had practiced evil arts, but now she had only caught one of them, and the whereabouts of the other two were unknown!
Mo Yanyu looked at Han Qingxia and said softly, "How about it? I wasn't wrong, was I?"
"Your formation can't completely detect whether someone who passes through it has practiced that kind of evil art!"
Upon hearing Mo Yanyu's words, before Han Qingxia could even speak, Lu Baize, standing beside her, immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Mo Yanyu and said, "What this young lady says is true. The formation I set up was indeed not perfect. Thank you for pointing out the error!"
"My apprentice was rude to you earlier, young lady. I, Lu, apologize on behalf of my apprentice!"
After hearing Lu Baize's words, everyone realized that he actually addressed Han Qingxia as his junior apprentice, which made his identity quite obvious.
He is Lu Baize, the Third Elder of the Array Pavilion and Han Qingxia's master!
Hearing her master apologize to Mo Yanyu for her mistake, Han Qingxia's eyes immediately reddened. She then bowed deeply to Mo Yanyu before saying, "I was rude and offended you just now!"
I was blind and I apologize!
However, Lu Baize and Han Qingxia's words did not make others look down on them. On the contrary, the people around them couldn't help but nod in agreement. After all, their Array Pavilion was considered a major force!
Very few people can admit their mistakes, apologize to others in public, and acknowledge their errors. Many powerful people, even when they know they are wrong, will still use their power to bully others!
Seeing Han Qingxia and Lu Baize like this, Qing Mo and the others also looked at them with higher regard. Then Mo Yanyu said softly, "You are much better than the others. At least you don't use your power to bully others like those people who have powerful backers!"
Alright! I won't blame that girl anymore! I hope you remember how you felt today, and know that there are always people more capable than you, and the world is always a better place!
Upon hearing Mo Yanyu's words, Han Qingxia nodded gently. "This junior understands! Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Then Lu Baize said to Mo Yanyu, "You said earlier that among the onlookers, three of them practiced evil arts. I wonder if you could help me find the other two?"
"If you may, young lady, could you please tell me about the formation you just used? I am willing to pay a certain price!"
Mo Yanyu immediately replied, "The remaining two have already left with the crowd. As for the formation I used just now, I can teach you!"
But what price are you willing to pay?
Upon hearing Mo Yanyu's question, Lu Baize did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he said, "The young lady's technique and speed in inscribing the array plate were astonishing. Even in our Array Pavilion, only the Great Elder and the Pavilion Master can compare to her!"
If you are willing, I will speak with the Pavilion Master and others to appoint you as an honorary elder of our Array Pavilion. As long as it involves array materials, you can have priority access to them, provided that our Array Pavilion has them!
As for my price, it is one-fifth of my accumulated wealth over many years in exchange. What do you think, young lady?
Upon hearing the conditions and price offered by Lu Baize, everyone present gasped in astonishment. They hadn't expected that Mo Yanyu's mastery of array formations was comparable only to the Great Elder and the Pavilion Master of the Array Pavilion!
I heard that they are both seventh-grade array masters, and it took them many years of cultivation in the art of arrays to reach such an achievement. I didn't expect that Mo Yanyu, who is so young, could also reach their level!
Moreover, the conditions offered by the other party to get Mo Yanyu to join the Array Pavilion were indeed very generous. Furthermore, Lu Baize himself was even willing to give up one-fifth of his resources in exchange for the array that Mo Yanyu had just inscribed!
Upon hearing the conditions offered, Mo Yanyu did not rush to reply. Instead, she turned to look at Qing Mo, who was sitting nearby, and questioned him with her eyes.
Qing Mo tossed away his cigarette butt and said, " Yanyu, you can handle it yourself! The array techniques you've learned are yours; you don't need to ask me for help!"
Qing Mo's words immediately attracted the attention of the others. They hadn't expected that such a powerful array master would need to question someone who showed no signs of spiritual energy fluctuations!
Then Mo Yanyu said to Lu Baize, "Since the master has no objection, then fine! I agree to your request. Take me to see your sect leader and the Great Elder!"
As for this formation, I can tell you everything without reservation, just remember the price you said you would pay!
Those around were shocked once again. Mo Yanyu had actually addressed the young man as "master" just now. It seemed that he might be a direct disciple of a top-tier power or a young master from a super-rich family!
He must have been out training because he had nothing better to do. Many people envied Qing Mo, after all, the three beauties by his side were all stunningly beautiful, and one of them was even a seventh-grade array master!
Lu Baize originally planned to invite Qing Mo, Yueji, and Cang Lanyue to the Array Pavilion together, but Qing Mo thought it was too much trouble and declined, only letting Mo Yanyu go with him!
Then Qing Mo took Yueji and Cang Lanyue for a stroll in Cloud Thunder City. Rather than listening to their rambling, it was better to relax by shopping. After all, Qing Mo was different from ordinary people; he didn't need to curry favor with anyone!
However, while Qing Mo and the other two were strolling around, someone stared intently at Yueji's figure for two to three seconds, and then quickly left the bustling street as if nothing had happened!
Qing Mo and the others were certainly aware of the others' prying eyes, but they didn't take it seriously. After all, didn't Yueji's appearance deserve some attention?
The person who left the street felt it wasn't safe enough, so he left Cloud Thunder City and took out a communication jade talisman from his storage ring near the Cloud Thunder City's outskirts!
He said, "Young Master, I saw the woman you and Young Master Yun were looking for in Cloud Thunder City!"
There was a woman and a man walking together beside her! They seemed to be together, and I was afraid they would spot me, so I didn't dare follow them any further!
A moment later, an excited voice came from within the communication jade talisman. The person on the other end said, "Are you sure it's the woman I saw on the Recording Stone?"
The owner of the voice was Yun Xiaotian. At this moment, he was with Hao Jinghong at the Hao Clan. They had just returned from a training trip and had even made friends with a powerful expert at the peak of the Dao Palace Realm!
Unexpectedly, as soon as they returned to the Hao Clan, the communication jade talisman in Hao Jinghong's storage ring vibrated. When Hao Jinghong and Yun Xiaotian heard each other's words...
Yun Xiaotian's expression immediately became extremely excited. For the past few months, he had been thinking day and night about avenging Fan Yuan and the others. Although he knew that the other party was capable of killing Fan Yuan and the others, their cultivation level must have exceeded the late stage of the Dao Palace Realm!
Therefore, in the past few months, he has been working hard to improve his cultivation and has made many acquaintances with the scions of powerful families and forces. These families and forces all have experts at the Dao Palace Realm in charge!
In addition, there Old Man Xingya, whom he had met when he and Hao Jinghong went out to train!
He is one of the top Dao Palace Realm experts in the Crimson Spirit Continent. He especially likes to stand up for the wronged and advocate for justice!
Especially after befriending him, Yun Xiaotian told him that the old people who raised him had been brutally murdered, and some of them didn't even have their bodies intact!
Upon hearing this, the Old Man Xingya said that if Yun Xiaotian needed anything, he could help him out!
After Old Man Xingya had a high opinion of Yun Xiaotian. In his view, Yun Xiaotian was destined to be a dragon among men. Befriending him now was equivalent to making a good connection!
If I ever need help in the future, Yun Xiaotian will definitely lend a hand out of consideration for this good relationship!
Then, holding the communication jade talisman, Yun Xiaotian excitedly asked again, "Are you sure it's the woman you're looking for? You're really not mistaken?"
The communication jade talisman immediately sounded, saying, "I saw it clearly! Young Master Yun, it's definitely the woman you showed us on the Recording Stone!"
Purple hair, purple clothes, purple eyeshadow! And a small, soft purple sword was coiled around her waist! It was the same one she was holding in the Recording Stone!
Upon hearing the confirmation from the other end, Yun Xiaotian immediately clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "I never thought that after searching for months, I would finally find you!"
Brother Hao, shall we head to Cloud Thunder City immediately? This time, I'm going to personally kill this woman and her accomplices to avenge Uncle Fan and the others!
Hao Jinghong immediately replied to Yun Xiaotian, "Alright! Brother Yun, let's go find those murderers together!"
Yun Xiaotian immediately looked at Hao Jinghong and said, "Alright! Thank you so much, Brother Hao!"
Hao Jinghong immediately replied, "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite!"
Let's hurry! Even with the teleportation array, it will still take five days to get to Cloud Thunder City!
The sooner we set off, the sooner we can get our revenge! Just in case, we should inform that Old Man Xingya we befriended last time. If anything goes wrong, he'll be there to help us out!
Yun Xiaotian nodded and said, "Brother Hao is right. After all, the other party is the murderer who killed Uncle Fan and the others. Their cultivation level is at least at the late stage of the Dao Palace Realm!"
We've prepared all our trump cards, and we'll invite the Old Man Xingya to ensure everything goes smoothly!
After saying that, Yun Xiaotian Yun Xiaotian out the means to contact Old Man Xingya. After explaining the situation, the other party agreed to come to Cloud Thunder City in five days!
After receiving a definite answer from Old Man Xingya, Yun Xiaotian and Hao Jinghong immediately left the Hao Clan and sped towards the nearest teleportation array!
Just as Yun Xiaotian and his group were rushing to Cloud Thunder City, Mo Yanyu had already joined the Array Pavilion in Cloud Thunder City. After receiving a detailed introduction to the array she had previously drawn, the people in the Array Pavilion were all very impressed with Mo Yanyu!
At the time, they were thinking about how to accurately detect who had practiced evil arts, and very few people thought about whether to use a different method to force those who had practiced evil arts to come out!
The array that Mo Yanyu drew at that time was designed to accelerate the flow of spiritual energy in the bodies of those who had practiced evil arts, forcing them to expand their meridians!
Normally, a cultivator's meridians would expand slightly without causing major problems. However, those who have practiced evil arts have already expanded their meridians due to the evil arts!
If their meridians expand uncontrollably again, making it difficult for them to control the flow of spiritual energy within their bodies, it will stimulate the already expanded meridians, ultimately causing them to be affected by the side effects of evil techniques even faster!
This causes them to quickly become violent and bloodthirsty, unable to control their inner desires. In this way, they can force those people to reveal that they have practiced evil arts, and it is also easier to distinguish which ones are normal cultivators!
In the end, Mo Yanyu secured her position as an honorary elder of the Array Pavilion with this skill. Although she didn't have much real power, her status was in no way lower than that of the Great Elder!
Finally Mo Yanyu passed the test for a seventh-grade array master in the Array Pavilion, and she is now a true seventh-grade array master!
Just considering the title of seventh-grade array master, many families in Cloud Thunder City plan to curry favor with Mo Yanyu every day. After all, befriending such a young seventh-grade array master is a sure-fire investment for their families!
