Chapter 1844: That’s Not How You Use It!

"Woo...woo...woo..."

The air within the courtyard, under the constant transformation of Fan Yulin’s handprints, emitted a series of strange moaning sounds, finally making Yu Baicang, who was dominating the scene, snap back to attention.

"It’s the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array. Has that ragged kid really forced the Master Steward to this point?"

As the supervisor of the Red Rock City Emperor Palace, even the elders knew this fact, so how could Yu Baicang not know? Therefore, his aged face immediately shifted.

"Yu Supervisor, you step back first!"

Seeing Yu Baicang’s suspicious gaze cast over, Fan Yulin did not want to explain much. He shouted in a low voice, causing the other to grudgingly withdraw from the courtyard’s range.

"Brother Situ, you should step back as well!"

With a peculiar smile on Yun Xiao’s face, he also shouted loudly, making Situ Nan, who was panting heavily, retreat in another direction, despite being puzzled.

It’s worth noting that Yu Baicang and Situ Nan, who were just fighting fiercely, now tacitly stopped attacking. Their gazes were locked onto the courtyard, although their targets were different.

"Kid, trapped within my Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, you should forget about escaping now!"

Fan Yulin, at this moment, didn’t care about a half-step Holy Rank Situ Nan. All his focus was on Yun Xiao, his words filled with strong confidence.

In Fan Yulin’s mind, once he took care of this ragged kid, what waves could the Emperor Palace Hunter possibly make? By comparison, Yun Xiao was much more important than Situ Nan.

"Escape? When did I say I wanted to leave?"

Hearing Fan Yulin’s arrogant words, Yun Xiao almost burst into laughter. This guy using the array created by the Long Xiao Battle God to deal with him couldn’t be merely called showing off in front of an expert.

"If you’ve got any tricks, just use them quickly. I’m just curious how much of this so-called Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array you’ve actually mastered?"

Yun Xiao spoke leisurely, this calm demeanor visibly infuriating Fan Yulin. Trapped in the array, this kid was so oblivious, he would have to taste the power of the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array!

Hoo...hoo...

A series of sounds like ghostly wails echoed out, and the courtyard seemed to transform into a Netherworld Ghost Realm, filled with ghostly cries that sent chills down the spine.

"This...a perfectly good Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, yet you’ve ruined it like this!"

Sensing those ghostly figures flying around, Yun Xiao’s expression darkened. This was vastly different from the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array he had developed in his past life.

Back then, Yun Xiao himself was a Holy Rank Peak Meridian Refining Master, and could fully empower the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array with his Power of Soul, making it completely unlike this eerie windblown display.

Apparently, Fan Yulin was not a Meridian Refining Master, and his Soul Power was mediocre. Though he had learned the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, he couldn’t set it up with only his soul’s strength.

Since that’s the case, Fan Yulin had to resort to external help. Those ghostly figures, constantly flying around the courtyard with eerie winds, were actually Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls stripped of their Spiritual Wisdom.

In order to successfully set up the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, Fan Yulin likely hunted down countless Meridian Refining Masters with Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls over the years. Such methods were nothing short of malicious.

These Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls, stripped of their Spiritual Wisdom and imbued into the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, wouldn’t harm Fan Yulin despite their subconscious resentment.

They would only obey the array’s formation to attack the enemies Fan Yulin wanted to deal with. It was both pitiable and lamentable, yet undeniably effective.

Fan Yulin’s own Soul Power was insufficient, but with the help of these Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls, the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array was finally activated. He believed that within the chaotic barrage, that kid Yun Xiao would soon be at his mercy.

This perhaps was Fan Yulin’s other intention. He didn’t want to outright kill this fugitive highly regarded by the Empress - capturing him alive would probably earn more favor with her.

Little did Fan Yulin know, the young man in his twenties before him was, in fact, the creator of the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array.

Attempting to use this Heavenly Rank Advanced Array formation to control Yun Xiao was nothing but wishful thinking. From the moment he activated the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, his fate was sealed.

"All Mysterious Spirits, heed my command, Transform the Three Talents Array!"

Seeing the raggedly clothed youth remain ominously silent, Fan Yulin didn’t hesitate. His shout was followed by dozens of Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls within the courtyard reconfiguring themselves under some guidance.

These transformed into Mysterious Spirits, dividing into three directions, forming a triangular siege around Yun Xiao. Each exuded a terrifying and eerie aura, seemingly intending to devour.

"You poor souls, let me, Yun Xiao, release you!"

Sensing the myriad of mysterious spirits glaring at him, Yun Xiao felt a wave of inexplicable guilt in his heart; after all, the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array was created by him in his past life, and these souls suffering were somewhat related to him.

If Yun Xiao hadn’t created the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, Fan Yulin wouldn’t have gone around searching for Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls, and these people might have escaped this misfortune.

But Yun Xiao was not a pedantic person; that trace of guilt flashed through his mind and vanished, leaving behind a murderous intent towards Fan Yulin. Letting such a malicious person exist in the world, who knows how many Soul Experts would suffer.

It’s easy to imagine that this time, due to the sacrifices made for the Three Talents Soul Enchantment Array, having lost so many Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls, Fan Yulin would surely seek to replenish them, causing trouble for the Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Refiners within the area.

"Enchant!"

Another triumphant shout came from Fan Yulin, followed by countless Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls swarming towards Yun Xiao.

This ghostly body attack was unavoidable, and the mysterious spirits from three directions seemed to have some unknown transformation among them.

Fan Yulin stared intently at the young man in coarse clothes, absolutely confident that regardless of which direction the boy dodged towards, he would be hit by the spirits and thereby have his soul controlled.

"Huh? Not moving?"

However, in the next moment, Fan Yulin clearly saw that the young man hadn’t moved even slightly, still standing in place as if stupefied by the endless spirits.

Despite his confusion about the situation, Fan Yulin did not lose his composure. It actually made things easier for him; since the boy wasn’t dodging, things were about to get simpler.

Whish whish whish...

As fast as words could flow, under Fan Yulin’s control, countless spirits already enveloped Yun Xiao. Although they were mere ghostly bodies, those outside could barely see the silhouette in coarse clothes inside.

"It’s over!"

Emperor Palace Director Yu Baicang, having heard of the terrifying Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array, thought if the boy could dodge, he might have held on for a few breaths longer, but now, there seemed to be no hope for turning things around.

Truth be told, Yu Baicang was intimidated by the boy’s strength. Even Early Stage Fan Yulin of Hua Xuan Realm was no match for his physical strength, and if he faced him, his fate might not be much better than those of the two Great Elders.

Yu Baicang felt secretly relieved, grateful that Master Steward was skilled and clever enough to prepare the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array early; otherwise, today’s outcome at the Emperor Palace would be hard to predict.

"Finally over!"

As a participant, Fan Yulin couldn’t help but breathe a huge sigh of relief; this boy, originally only at Heavenly Realm Peak, was incredibly hard to deal with.

"This is the array personally researched by the Long Xiao Battle God; no skill you possess can change its outcome!"

In Fan Yulin’s heart, utmost confidence dwelled. These Emperor Palace Cultivators viewed Long Xiao Battle God as a traitor yet couldn’t deny his outstanding brilliance.

Whether in Meridian Qi Cultivation Combat Power, Meridian Refining Technique, or Array Formation, Long Xiao Battle God was among the continent’s top. Over the century, surpassing Long Xiao Battle God in these fields was exceedingly rare.

These conflicting feelings made Fan Yulin so confident when he executed the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array created by Long Xiao Battle God.

Though considered a traitor, the methods left behind heavily benefited Emperor Canglong Palace Cultivators.

What Fan Yulin failed to see was that amidst the rampant Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls, Yun Xiao’s eyes had unbeknownst transformed into an absolute black hue.

At the same time, two Soul Ancestor Veins on Yun Xiao’s neck shone with black light, seemingly drawing out special powers from his soul mind.

Once these powers surged forth, those Heavenly Rank Advanced Souls without consciousness seemed suddenly startled, scattering in all directions.

"What’s happening?"

The sudden change shocked Fan Yulin; it was a scenario he had never envisioned, suddenly realizing his understanding of the Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array remained superficial.

"The Three Talents Mysterious Spirit Array isn’t meant to be used this way!"

As Fan Yulin hesitated, the coarse-clothed young man across distance spoke, voice carrying a trace of anger and undisguised murderous intent.
