Chapter 4272 Besieged

Feng Jiu looked downwards and asked, “Du Fan, do you see any difference in the terrain around here?”

Du Fan was stunned and looked downwards, taking a serious look, followed by a stunned look on his face, “This place is using the surrounding peaks as an array, trapping this barren mountain in the middle! If one is not looking down from above here, one cannot see that this place has laid down an array. And this array underneath, it should be a Trapping Array, only, it is much more complicated than your normal Trapping Array.”

He said, looking towards Feng Jiu: “Even with my comprehension in arrays, I can’t crack this array so quickly. However, if I am given some time, I should be able to crack it.”

Feng Jiu nodded, “Not bad, this place is indeed a Trapping Array, in order to seal the Ancient Qilin underneath, only that it is no longer too visible between the peaks and trees covering this surrounding area.”

She swept her gaze downwards, catching a glimpse of the little fox that was wandering around looking down below, and resumed looking upwards towards this. Seeing this, she smiled faintly and said to the few people around her, “I’ll crack this array, you guys guard the surrounding several directions respectively, but be careful and keep in mind that this is a magma land.”

“I guess that the Ancient Qilin is sleeping inside, if the seal is lifted and it awakens, it will probably cause a commotion. The magma underneath this ground will inevitably spew out upwards, at that time, you guys have to prevent the Qilin from escaping, and also avoid yourselves from being injured by the magma spewing out.”

Hearing her words, the crowd immediately responded, “Yes, we understand.”

They were about to head downwards, however, at that moment, they heard the sound of a rumbling battle coming from farther away. They were surprised and turned around to look, only to see that there were extremely strong fluctuations in the air currents in the farther distance, and by the looks of it, there was not a small amount of commotion.

“Master, that direction seems to be where the City Lord Gu and the others are.” Du Fan said, his gaze falling at the source of the commotion.

A few mountains away, at this time they were standing in the air, since they could see the fluctuation in that direction, and by that look, there was a fierce battle over there.

“Master, do we need to go and take a look?” Leng Shuang asked.

Feng Jiu looked down at the mountain peaks underneath, and then looked at where the battle was. After a brief moment of contemplation, she said, “Let’s go! Let’s see what happened to them. I’ll go first, catch up.” As soon as she finished her words, she swept over like a bolt of lightning and headed towards that faraway place.

Seeing this, Du Fan and Leng Shuang also followed behind and swept towards that direction.

Only, after all, it was not a short distance away, even if they were fast, it was impossible for them to arrive there in a moment.

At the same time, at the place where the air current was fluctuating like crazy, a group of black robed devilry cultivators surrounded those seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators, each one of those black robed devilry cultivators were Nascent Soul level cultivators or above. City Lord Gu and the others were not their opponents at all.

They fought hard to resist and sword qi swooshed by around them chaotically. The powerful sword qi slashed off parts of the surrounding trees, and the sound of the sword qi splitting the ground also rumbled from time to time.

The robes on City Lord Gu and the others were originally lighter in colour, at this moment, their entire robes had been dyed crimson. Under the siege of those devilry cultivators, they were alarmed as they left their backs to each other in unison.

At this time, a devilry cultivator at the head raised his hand in a gesture, the twenty or so devilry cultivators around him put away their hands and retreated, only to see that the devilry cultivator at the lead walked forward. His gloomy gaze was on them as his sinister voice filled with threat resounded.
