Chapter 481: Chapter 47: Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array
Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array?!
The Dark Array mentioned by the Gold Eater Worm was so unfamiliar that Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but mutter it out loud.
His subordinates were all regular soldiers, not a single one an Array Master, and when they first encountered this bizarre Dark Array, Jin Nuo had a headache about how to break the formation.
Now hearing that Yue Jinghua knew about this formation, he immediately crowded over with his big head: "What’s this Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array?"
On the other hand, among the Judgement Envoys of the Divine Court, there were several who were experts in arrays.
Long before Zong Shaoqing set off, he had contemplated that within the Dragon Slayer Hero’s Tomb, there might be numerous mechanisms and formations.
Even though the Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array has long been lost to time, it was still recorded in a few ancient books, and among the Array Masters were those with extensive knowledge and strong memory, who, combined with the celestial phenomena they had just witnessed, immediately began to recall it.
The Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array is an ancient Heaven and Earth Array Formation that has been lost for many years. The so-called Heaven and Earth Array Formation refers to formations that are distinct from man-made Dark Arrays.
It was not set up by people, but rather by ingenious Array Masters who cleverly used various celestial phenomena and the free-floating Dark Power to arrange the Dark Array.
There are many opportunities to form a Heaven and Earth Xuan Formation; it could be thunder and lightning, volcanic lava, or even earthquakes and tsunamis.
An advantage of the Heaven and Earth Xuan Formation is its immense power, which can often split mountains and fill seas. However, its drawback is also clear— it is very difficult to control.
Even the Array Masters who set up the Dark Array originally might not be able to control the triggered Heaven and Earth Xuan Formation.
The Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array belongs to such a formation, integrating the power of the stars and using the Flint Star Rain as the catalyst to activate the formation.
Because it requires the unique condition of the Flint Star, even if people enter the Dragon Court during the day, they would not be able to detect the hidden Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array above the Dragon Court, nor the Dragon Slayer Holy Armor within the Dark Fire Array.
After Luo Yun appeared, everyone understood that there were treasures like the Dragon Slayer Holy Armor hidden within the Sky Dragon Palace.
Among the mercenaries, even a devoted ascetic like Ran Wu now had a frenzy burning in his eyes.
Not to mention that Luo Yun was itching to break the Dark Array and snatch all five pieces of the Dragon Slayer Holy Armor.
Having witnessed Luo Yun’s sudden appearance, Yue Jinghua was well aware that the Molten Python Corpse King in the Fiery Fire Path might already have been dealt with by those three unidentified individuals.
The swift defeat of the Molten Python Corpse King indicated that the strength of these three was undoubtedly formidable.
"Young Master Yun, be careful and alert, there are other forces here," Li Ran and Feng Yan stood to the left and right of Luo Yun, their eyes glaring tenaciously at the people who were eager to compete for the treasure.
The two members of the Five Saints Branch sobered up when they recognized the insignia on Luo Yun’s body and spotted the two Dark Heavenly Masters behind him.
The Five-star Mercenary stepped forward. Although he was much older and more seasoned than Luo Yun, he still greeted Luo Yun respectfully: "So it’s Mr. Luo, the Five Saints Branch didn’t know that Young Master Luo Yun had also come to the Five Saints Town. It’s truly regrettable that we failed to meet you at a distance. May I ask if Mr. Luo Ri is doing well; is he also accompanying Mr. Luo here to the town?"
Seeing that the Five-star Mercenary from the Five Saints Branch was so courteous to Luo Ri, Divine Court and the Dragon War Empire camps became curious about the young man’s identity.
"I came alone, my father went with Lord Bo Sai to the Lie Dian Islands to slay the Ghost Pirate King of the Northern Courts," Luo Yun mentioned the Mercenary King Bo Sai and the strong Dragon Rider Luo Ri, even those who were not mercenaries, including Jin Nuo and members of the Imperial Army, were all astounded.
Yue Jinghua noticed that Qin Dongting’s expression became somewhat strange when Luo Yun mentioned the names of Long Ji and Mercenary King Bo Sai.
Legendary Mercenary Group, Bo Sai and Luo Ri of the Dragon Knight Mercenary Group, the comer is the only son of Luo Ri.
Jin Nuo’s face grew even darker.
At that moment, Luo Yun noticed that besides the two Five-star Mercenaries from the Five Saints Mercenary Branch, there were some unfamiliar faces in the Dragon Court.
To the left, a group dressed in magic robes, a woman at their head caught his eye: her fair skin seemed delicate enough to break at a touch, and her red eyes sparkled like rubies. Below her exquisite magic robe was a graceful figure that swayed enchantingly, stirring something within Luo Yun.
"Young Master Yun, it’s the Divine Court. The two young men and women leading them, both looking exceptional, must be the Divine Son and Goddess of the Divine Court," Li Ran recognized the Divine Court’s identity with just a glance.
The Divine Court, Luo Yun regrettingly clicked his tongue. That was a tough bone to chew, and he had to be cautious not to provoke a conflict with them.
After reluctantly taking his gaze off Sha Xi, Luo Yun glanced at the Imperial soldiers and the July Mercenary Team not far from him.
After seeing the July Team, a mixed army of One-star and Two-star Mercenaries, Luo Yun first snorted disdainfully, but when he spotted the ravishing Shalman and Weiwei among the crowd, his eyes brightened, and he unabashedly checked out the two.
That lecherous look made the two female mercenaries feel very uncomfortable.
"It turns out to be the noble son of Lord Luo Ri, Mr. Luo Yun. I am Peng Bo; Jin Nuo, the Captain of the Imperial Black Dragon Camp," just as Luo Yun was enjoying his view, an annoyingly large figure blocked his line of sight.
Jin Nuo stepped forward to greet him.
There was a bit of connection between the Imperial Dragon Rider Group and the Dragon Knight Mercenary Group, so even though Luo Yun’s demeanor and reputation were not that great, Jin Nuo still politely gave him his due respect.
"Imperial Black Dragon Camp, huh, I remember now, aren’t you the same Sky Cavalry Camp that was miserably defeated by a bunch of air bandits not so long ago? So, you’re also coveting the treasure of the Ancient Hero?" Luo Yun said casually.
The Imperial Black Dragon Camp was defeated by a group of air bandits?
This incident concerned an extremely confidential military operation of the Empire recently, in which the Black Dragon Camp nearly lost a Dragon Rider due to a misestimation of the enemy’s strength. Fortunately, Mercenary King Bo Sai and Lord Luo Ri of the Dragon Knight Mercenary Group happened to pass by that day and repelled the air bandits.
This message was a source of embarrassment that the entire Dragon Rider Group found difficult to discuss.
To protect the Empire’s secrets, the message was strictly sealed, yet Luo Yun turned it into a joke, thoughtlessly blurted it out, and made a scene in front of dozens of people.
Jin Nuo’s originally calm expression immediately turned sour, and several soldiers behind him clenched their teeth in anger, as if they were ready to twist off Luo Yun’s head.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Being able to become the Captain of the Imperial Black Dragon Camp at such a young age, Jin Nuo was naturally no ordinary person. Even though he was burning with anger, he still managed to suppress his fury and bowed with a fist: "The Imperial Black Dragon Camp is very grateful to Lord Luo Ri for his assistance at that time. As a token of gratitude, on behalf of the Imperial Dragon Riders, I promise Mr. Luo Yun, you may first pick from these five pieces of the Dragon Slayer Holy Armor."
"Heh, you’re somewhat discerning. In that case, this Young Master won’t stand on ceremony," Luo Yun arrogantly approached the Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array, intending to barge through.
But as he took a step forward, someone flashed out, "Hold on, as the saying goes, ’To the finder goes the spoils.’ These five pieces of the Dragon Slayer Holy Armor are available for everyone to compete for."
