Chapter 1817: Don’t Worry, I Won’t Die!

Don’t overlook that Murong Sou is already a Super Expert of the Supreme Saint Realm in the Holy Vein Three Realms, but even the Murong Family Patriarch at that time was no match for Lu Qinwan, let alone him.

Moreover, Lu Qinwan is not the strongest of the Emperor Canglong Palace. It’s said that the Emperor Canglong, who cultivated the Emperor Dragon Qi, has not acted for many years, and his strength is unparalleled, acknowledged as the number one in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

Over the years, among human cultivators, there are few who have made the Emperor Canglong take action personally. Perhaps only that ruler of the Strange Spirit Clan can truly capture the Emperor Canglong’s attention?

When the Murong Family was exterminated back then, although Murong Sou did not witness Lu Qinwan’s methods firsthand, he could imagine that even with so many Elders in the Murong Family, none could escape the fate.

Even the Murong Clan Patriarch was brutally killed by Lu Qinwan, demonstrating the immense power she wielded. Murong Sou was quite aware, and his earlier question wasn’t truly seeking an unrealistic answer.

"Since you know about my Murong Family’s hatred towards the Emperor Canglong Palace, and that continuing to cultivate like this, I might never avenge in this lifetime, what kind of choice should I make?"

Perhaps that was the true purpose behind Murong Sou’s two questions. Although ultimately a question, it brought a hint of gratification to Yun Xiao’s face.

"It seems you have made your choice!"

Yun Xiao felt gratified because he saw that decades of concealment didn’t extinguish the resolve of this surviving Supreme Saint Realm stronghold of the Murong Family; rather, the hatred in his heart grew stronger over time.

Yun Xiao had already explained all the severe consequences to Murong Sou, whose chance of success wouldn’t be better than the chance of destroying the Emperor Canglong Palace right now.

Yet for the sake of family vendetta, Murong Sou resolutely made the second choice, without much hesitation, making Yun Xiao delighted to see such a survivor in the Murong Family.

"In that case, let’s begin!"

Yun Xiao was not a procrastinator. In fact, his willingness to take action was not as dangerous as he previously claimed. While not very confident, he was at least capable of ensuring his own survival in such a critical moment.

The Yun Xiao of this lifetime, compared to the previous Long Xiao Battle God, was far lower in Meridian Qi cultivation, and certainly in mastery of array formations as well.

After all, array formation skills require the backing of Meridian Qi cultivation, and Yun Xiao couldn’t execute Holy Rank level arrays until he broke through to the Holy Rank Third Realm.

But at this moment, Yun Xiao didn’t need to form an array. Instead, he used a certain method to alter the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array’s negative effects on Murong Sou, initiating the absorption of the array’s special powers.

Speaking of this Murong Tomb, it’s renowned, but it offers no benefit to outsiders. Even if they searched every Spirit Hall, they would return empty-handed.

Only a Murong family member like Murong Sou, finding the location of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping and Earth, had even the slightest chance for fortune, albeit with great danger.

If an outsider dared to set foot within the scope of this Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array, they would have long been riddled with Water Attribute energies, dead without hope of revival.

Nobody knows when this Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array appeared here, but over the years, its power has been enough to leave Yun Xiao in awe.

Yun Xiao’s greatest reliance lay in the power of an Ice Cold Ancestral Vein within him, and having refined a Water Extreme Fire; the immense water attribute might be the key to suppressing the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array’s power.

Given the situation, Yun Xiao didn’t hesitate much more. He extended his left arm, and a trace of Ice Cold Power surged through the air towards the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array in the plaza.

Whish!

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, causing Murong Sou’s eyes to tighten. From previous battles, he knew Yun Xiao possessed multiple Ancestral Veins, though unaware that one was this rare Ice Cold Ancestral Vein.

Boom!

As Murong Sou felt an odd sensation, as though provoked by Yun Xiao’s Ice Cold Ancestral Vein, a vast energy wave erupted within the small plaza.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Meanwhile, the previously still small plaza echoed with the sound of flowing water, and these streams, winding back and forth, resembled water attribute dragon shadows.

"Is this the real Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array?"

Seeing the fluid forms shifting into Water Dragons, Murong Sou’s eyes showed not just astonishment but excitement, for this was the Murong Family’s strongest Water Attribute large array.

"Be careful!"

Amidst Murong Sou’s mixed feelings of surprise and joy, a loud shout suddenly came from beyond the plaza, making him tremble and subsequently envelop his whole body with Meridian Qi, bracing himself for imminent changes.

Currently, the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array was indeed angered by the Ice Cold Power Yun Xiao unleashed, essentially activated, yet for Yun Xiao standing outside the array, there was little it could do.

Therefore, in the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array, the countless surging water dragons focused all their attention on Murong Sou, the sole target within the large array.

"Roar!"

Amidst the raging water, it was as if a dragon’s roar could be heard, causing a certain golden silhouette within Yun Xiao to involuntarily lift its head, with the golden light on its body seeming to become brighter at this moment.

Little Five, the legendary Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, sensed a hint of threat in the dragon roar. Of course, it wasn’t a threat from dragon power, but the formidable power contained within the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array.

No matter what, although Little Five carries the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline, his current strength is only at the Peak of Advanced Heavenly Rank, not even at the Half-step Holy Demon level.

As for the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array, it belonged to a Holy Rank array, bolstered by successive blessings from previous patriarchs of the Murong family. Even those two from the Emperor Canglong Palace would find it quite troublesome if trapped.

Fortunately, within Yun Xiao’s Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power, there resides a trace of Water Extreme Fire, which has a strong suppressive effect on the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array. This is the first reason.

Secondly, the Long Xiao Battle God from a past life had thoroughly studied various changes in the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array. The Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power unleashed by Yun Xiao this time wasn’t without aim; it had a specific target.

Moreover, Yun Xiao hasn’t entered the array, whereas Murong Sou within it is a genuine direct descendant of the Murong family. The Murong family bloodline he carries naturally makes the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array feel a sense of kinship.

When Murong Sou’s entire body became filled with Holy Rank Meridian Qi, the attacks of the transforming water dragons all poured onto him, causing his entire body to tremble, unable to withstand such force, he immediately spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

"Puchi!"

The power of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array is enormous. Even Murong Sou, a super expert of the Supreme Saint Realm, found it unbearable. A waft of bloody aura rose slowly, causing those translucent water dragons to be tinged with a bit of red glow.

"As expected!"

Although Murong Sou appeared to be heavily injured, Yun Xiao, who saw this from outside, felt happiness rather than worry. After muttering softly, he once again unleashed a strike of Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power.

This time, Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Vein attack was once more aimed at the node of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array. Just as this Ancestor Vein Power reached its target, Yun Xiao’s entire body shook violently.

Boom!

As if he had been dealt a heavy blow, Yun Xiao, standing outside the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array, was suddenly struck hard like Murong Sou inside, spewing out a mouthful of bright red blood.

"Yun Xiao, are you alright?"

Feeling the chaos within his body, Murong Sou was shocked at the sight. He knew how strong that power was, even he couldn’t withstand it, let alone Yun Xiao, a young cultivator only at the Late Stage of the Heavenly Realm.

"Don’t worry, I won’t die!"

Yun Xiao stood firm without taking a step back, but the smile on his face as he responded revealed his blood-streaked red teeth.

In fact, if the blow Yun Xiao took at this moment were truly like the one in the array on Murong Sou, it’s likely his internal organs would have been smashed to pieces.

It was merely a warning from the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array upon sensing outside interference, limited in the attack power it could unleash on Yun Xiao standing outside.

According to Yun Xiao’s estimation, the power that injured him earlier was just a surprise attack; its force was at most similar to a strike from a Half-step Holy Rank expert.

"Looks like there’s still much I haven’t figured out in my research of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array!"

The unexpected water attack served as a wake-up call to Yun Xiao, revealing the many shortcomings in his past research. This was just one such case.

"Then let’s continue!"

Yun Xiao’s words, and the relatively undiminished aura around him, finally set Murong Sou at ease. Seeing him clench his jaw and let out a low shout, it seemed he was fully prepared.

"Now, the true test begins!"

Hearing Murong Sou’s shout, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with light, and after his murmured words fell, another Ice Cold Ancestor Vein Power swiftly shot towards the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array.

Simultaneously, within the Murong Tomb and even outside at Yingrong Lake, some unknown changes were occurring, which might have a significant impact on the development of future events.

But all this, the two inside and outside the large array, remained oblivious of.
