Chapter 1591: Chapter 181: Array Mechanism Demonstration at Pingshan Rift Peak

The movements within Shousui Mountain were also noticed by the Yu Yuan Tribe. After glancing a few times, the middle-aged cultivator hurriedly rushed to the bow of the boat and bowed, saying: "Father King, it seems True Master Zhang has arrived over there."

Zhu Bogao said solemnly, "He indeed comes at the right time. Do not concern yourself with him. Transmit my decree, command the clan to advance, not to retreat a step."

The middle-aged cultivator said, "I will transmit the order immediately."

He turned and went below the boat, shook the array flag, and the tribe elders at various array gates saw this. They also commanded the clansmen to shake their array flags in response. The entire great array was already advancing with the momentum of thunder and rolling rocks.

Zhu Bogao stepped forward a few paces, gazing at the distant sky where the Twin Flood Dragon Flying Carriage was, even though tomorrow he was to duel with Zhang Yan. It did not mean he was willing to be oppressed by the Mingcang Sect. The assembly of millions of tribes in formation, the paths they traverse flatten mountains, push peaks, intercept waters, and cut off rivers. If press forward like this, it may not be impossible to drive them out of Shousui Mountain.

And at this moment, opposite, the Twin Flood Dragon Carriage descended and stopped on a broad area before the Dharma platform peak. The four claws of the Ink Flood Dragons touched the ground and roared, clouds billowing from beneath their wings. The driver on the carriage held it tightly to restrain further movement. After a while, it calmed down, and then a thousand tunneling lights like star rain fell, which were the thousand disciples arriving behind.

The bamboo curtain in the tower pavilion lifted, Zhang Yan stepped out in his Dharma crown and mysterious robe, while Jing You held a Jade Ruyi and followed beside him.

Wei Zihong hurriedly stepped forward, bent over and saluted, saying, "Disciple welcomes Master."

Below, hundreds of Mingcang disciples bowed in unison, saying, "Welcome True Master Zhang’s Dharma chariot."

Zhang Yan waved his sleeve, signaling everyone to dispense with ceremony, then turned and went onto the Dharma platform, with Wei Zihong hastily following.

Just as they reached the platform, they saw three tunneling lights flying from the south across the heavenly vault. It was Han Wangke, Cai Rongju, and Peng Yuzhou who, upon seeing his Dharma chariot heading to Shousui Mountain, had also emerged from Drum Collapse Mountain and moved to this place.

The three landed, stepped forward to greet Zhang Yan and converse, and then each took a seat.

This place was higher than the surrounding mountains, every scene revealed. Han Wangke, seeing demon winds swirling ahead and sand flying stones rolling, said, "I did not expect these folks to form an array to meet the enemy."

Peng Yuzhou snorted, saying, "Nowadays Beiming Continent Demon Cultivators are far from the ancient Heavenly Demons, only the Eight Divisions have some skills, the rest practicing Power Dao are mostly ignorant of the written word and mysterious logic, don’t even mention holding this great array. This must be prompted by Demon Sect Practitioners behind the scenes."

Cai Rongju shook his head and said, "Junior nephew’s remarks seem somewhat biased. The Zhu Family originally came from the Qu Clan of the Carp Tribe, practicing some array techniques is not surprising. Though I also suspect their collusion with the Demon Sect, we cannot decisively conclude based solely on this."

Peng Yuzhou disagreed, saying, "Junior Master Cai’s words, your junior nephew cannot agree. Just by glancing at this array, it is clear it was not trained to minute perfection, some places are still quite unfamiliar, clearly hastily arranged. If they had acquired the array diagram earlier, they would have trained deeply and adeptly, how could it appear so crude now?"

Han Wangke pondered, "Regardless, the million demon army should not be underestimated. Junior Brother Zhang, could the prior arrangements of Junior Wei hold? Do you need our assistance?"

Zhang Yan looked ahead and smiled, saying, "A million demon army forming an array, quite a feat, obviously wanting to see how I will break the array."

He thought for a moment, then flicked his hand, releasing a golden light that fell into Wei Zihong’s arms, saying, "Zihong, take this diagram of mine, suppress the array position, then select a hundred Hua Dan disciples and proceed according to the array map technique I taught you before."

Wei Zihong bowed, "Disciple accepts the mission."

Half a moment later, the scenes in Shousui Mountain’s Forbidden Array suddenly transformed, with hundreds of spirit lights rising into columns. Once reaching the high sky, each emitted bright flame energy, dispersing the overcast enveloping the mountain like a scorching sun melting snow.

Zhu Bogao saw the changes, his expression unchanged, and said to his clan underlings, "Without my decree, do not halt, violators will be executed!" Under his command, this formation persisted, continually advancing.

Tensions ran high here, but in the skies came a strange flying shuttle. Nearing, it dared not draw too close, deftly turning to conceal behind a small hill.

A strange-faced cultivator poked his head out from the shuttle, looking below, astonished, saying, "So peculiar, since the Yu Yuan Tribe can already form an array to confront the enemy, why do they not fight to the death and instead deliberately invite Zhang Yan to battle, isn’t this exchanging strengths for weaknesses?"

Beside him, the dry and skinny Daoist spoke, "Junior brother, you do not understand the reasoning here. Despite having a million tribes, the Yu Yuan mostly only have just opened their spiritual wisdom. Those who can transform are merely one or two out of ten. This kind remains beast-like. If they do not eat for a day, they are surely overcome by hunger. Though now their momentum seems unstoppable, it cannot last long. They will certainly scatter after two or three days, even without care."
