Chapter 1316

After personally witnessing Zi Chen's group being trapped, Ling Dong's mission was complete and he turned to leave.

He didn't plan to fight Zi Chen head-on. The next task would be left to the array masters.

As Ling Dong left the battlefield, a person soon appeared from the shadows. It was Zhou Chong from the city's army.

"How is it? You caught them?"

"They're trapped by the array."

Ling Dong met Zhou Chong when he was investigating Zi Chen. Coincidentally, Ling Dong had some ideas about Zi Chen's group. The two hit it off and used the Hengduan Mountain Range's restriction to trap them.

"They must have something good on them. Don't let any of them go," Zhou Chong said coldly.

"Are you sure?" Ling Dong asked.

"Of course."

Zhou Chong smiled darkly. "But now that things have come to this, even if I'm not sure, I'm sure they'll die."

Ling Dong nodded and didn't say anything.

As the two moved forward, they saw more realms. They were all hiding in the shadows.

After a year of searching, they hadn't found anything, so they bet the only thing they had found on Zi Chen's group of five.

If they couldn't get anything after killing these five people, they could only return home.

Ling Dong saw a cultivator in black and his face immediately turned cold. "Didn't I tell you? Zi Chen's senses are very sharp. He won't let you follow him. Did you know that he almost discovered you just now?"

The cultivator in black was stunned. "Big brother, what are you talking about? When did I follow you?"

"It wasn't you." Ling Dong looked at the cultivator in black.

"Of course it wasn't me, and it wasn't our people. I'm sure all of us are here," the cultivator in black said.

Ling Dong looked at Zhou Chong. "It's your people."

Zhou Chong spread his hands. "Of course not. How can my people be so stupid?"

"Then who could it be? Are there others?" Ling Dong frowned, puzzled.

Suddenly, his face changed. "Oh no."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Chong and the cultivator in black looked at Ling Dong in confusion.

"We've been fooled. This Zi Chen is indeed not ordinary."

As they spoke, Ling Dong led the group back.

…

…

Back to the moment when Zi Chen discovered the anomaly.

In fact, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Everything was just Zi Chen deliberately mystifying, and the only purpose of this was to allow his real body to escape.

After that, his real body followed Ling Dong and the others into the depths until his clone was trapped.

Zi Chen's real body watched Ling Dong leave from afar. Just as he had guessed, there was another way out here. Or rather, there were more ways out. And this was a trap that was specifically targeted at him.

After Ling Dong left, there were still a few people who stayed behind. They were all array masters.

Zi Chen heard someone laugh from afar. "Hehe, I heard that this person's battle prowess is very strong, but in front of an array master, individual battle prowess is nothing."

Another person said, "It's never wrong to be careful. Besides, there are two Array Masters inside. Don't be careless."

The original person sneered, "Tsk, so what if they have two Array Masters? They can't compare to us in terms of numbers or attainments."

The third person shouted, "Alright, cut the crap. Our goal is to kill."

As they spoke, the four people here began to control the array. A murderous intent surged in the fog. This was a sign that someone was about to be killed.

Suddenly, one of the Array Masters saw someone walking towards them. He was very puzzled. He looked at the other party and asked, "Who are you?"

It was a young man. He looked familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen him before.

The other three people looked back in confusion. Two of them didn't recognize the other party, but the third person's expression changed drastically when he saw Zi Chen. He exclaimed, "You … Were you trapped in the array? How did you come out?"

The other three people's expressions also changed when they heard this. They finally understood why the other party looked so familiar.

"What array is this?" Zi Chen stood ten meters away from the four people and asked.

The four people looked at each other and saw an inexplicable fear in each other's eyes. Then, the four of them nodded heavily and controlled the array flags to attack Zi Chen.

Swoosh.

Light flashed under Zi Chen's feet and his entire body disappeared. It was as if he had teleported. In the next moment, he appeared in front of a cultivator.

He pointed two fingers at a sword and a golden sword aura shot out. He controlled the sword aura to slash at one of the cultivators.

"Crack."

The late Corporeal stage cultivator's defense was broken. The sword aura swept past his neck and his head flew high into the air.

It was a simple kill, but a strange look appeared in Zi Chen's eyes. The opponent's defense was surprisingly strong. This attack of his had actually taken a lot of effort.

When he arrived in front of the second person, the black blade appeared in his hand. A dark light flashed across the blade as it slashed through the second person's body.

It had to be said that with the black blade, Zi Chen's killing became much easier and saved a lot of effort.

Pfft.

Light flashed again and the third person was also killed by Zi Chen. His head flew off and his corpse fell into a pool of blood.

In the blink of an eye, only one of the four array masters was left. This person had completely switched from his previous attacking mode to a defensive one. His eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen gripped the long blade that was dripping with blood and stood ten meters away from the array master once again. He asked indifferently, "What array is this?"

"This … this is …" The array master's teeth were chattering and he could not speak clearly. It was obvious that he was terrified.

"Speak slowly. Don't be nervous." Zi Chen smiled faintly. However, this only caused the array master to feel even more terrified.

"This is … a type of … deathtrap array. It borrows the power of the … restrictions here … The array is very powerful. It can kill anyone below the domain realm."

"Oh, then how do we break the array?" asked Zi Chen.

The array master looked at Zi Chen in horror and said in a trembling voice, "Breaking the array is … very troublesome. We need … to break … nine … nine … eight … eleven …"

While the array master was speaking, Zi Chen's indifferent expression turned extremely cold. He gripped the blade in his hand and slashed down.

A ten-meter-long blade ray shot out and chopped off the array master's head.

Looking at the headless corpse that was spurting blood, Zi Chen said coldly, "I hate being played by others. I hate it even more when people play tricks in front of me."

It was obvious that this array master had experienced many things. Although he was terrified, he had his own calculations. He was stalling for time and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

After killing four people, the deathtrap array was not broken. Zi Chen pressed one hand on the restriction and then said, "Try your best to break the array."

Zi Chen believed that his voice could be heard by the two brothers in the array.

At this moment, the two brothers were following Zi Chen's instructions. They took out array flags and formed a defense in front of them. Moreover, the two brothers had joined forces to block the first wave of attacks. However, the second wave of attacks had not arrived yet.

"Brother, what do we do now? Zi Chen … Where did Big Brother Zi Chen go?" The younger brother, Gou Qiang, asked as he controlled the restriction to be on guard.

The older brother, Gou Wen, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but he just disappeared. He should have used a clone. Maybe he's fighting outside. Let's hold on for a while longer."

As soon as the older brother finished speaking, the two of them heard Zi Chen's voice telling them to break the array.

"It's Big Brother Zi Chen's voice," Gou Qiang said in surprise.

Gou Wen nodded and said, "Hurry up and break the array."

The two brothers began to use the array flags to break the array from inside. Without anyone controlling it, the array's power would naturally be greatly reduced.

At the same time, Zi Chen was also looking for the array's weak points outside and then used his black saber to break the array.

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

Zi Chen slashed several times, and each slash hit a point. Following that, a surge of power erupted, and the entire array began to tremble.

Ling Dong and the others were still very far away, but they could hear the trembling of the array. The entire ground was shaking, and this made his expression turn even more unsightly.

"Boom!"

Another rumbling sound was heard, and the array was broken by an attack from the inside and outside. The two brothers rushed out with array flags in their hands.

When they saw Zi Chen again, the two brothers were very excited because they had just brushed shoulders with death once.

"Let's go. They should be nearby."

After saying that, Zi Chen walked into the depths of the array.

Although Zi Chen didn't know much about the restrictions and arrays here, with Gou Wen and Gou Qiang around, it wouldn't be a problem for them to pass through the array.

Not long after Zi Chen and the other two left, Ling Dong and the others arrived. When they saw the broken array and the four headless corpses on the ground, their expressions turned ugly.

Chopping off the heads when killing people had almost become Zi Chen's trademark.

"Damn it, it seems like he already had his suspicions," Ling Dong cursed angrily.

The black-clothed cultivator said indifferently, "This kid is cunning, but so what? As long as we join forces, we'll definitely be able to kill him."

Zhou Chong had seen Zi Chen kill people with his own eyes, and he had always been very afraid of Zi Chen. Now that he saw Zi Chen escape, his expression turned ugly, and his heartbeat sped up because of his nervousness and fear.

"What should we do now? Zi Chen has already gone to save them," Zhou Chong said worriedly.

"Call our people and fight together," the black-clothed cultivator shouted.

"Let's go take a look first." Ling Dong rushed forward.

In fact, after a year of development, this place had already been flattened by them. Although there were dangers, as long as they were careful, they wouldn't come into contact with them.

After the three of them passed through several dangerous areas, they found traces of other cultivators.

They were all people from Yanbo Castle.

As soon as they saw them, Zi Chen heard angry curses. "You bastards, you ambushed us here. When our reinforcements arrive, you'll all die without a burial place."

This was obviously Wu Xie's voice. Soon, another indifferent voice sounded. "Hmph, you've said that countless times already, but what's the result?"

"The result is that it's not time yet. To tell you the truth, although I'm powerful and have an immortal body, the leader last time wasn't me at all. It was someone countless times more sinister and cunning than I am. He'll definitely come to save us."

"You're talking about Zi Chen, aren't you? He might already be dead by now." A cold laugh sounded.

"No, no, even I can sense that this is a conspiracy. How can he not know? I can already see the scene of one of you being chopped to death with a single slash."
