Chapter 1563 - 587: Immeasurable Gui Ruins
There was no Mystical emptiness left inside the Martial God Temple.
The Mystical emptiness lay in Shi Cheng and Master Kong Yan themselves.
The Sixth Shock dared to speak bluntly, saying that the martial arts he cultivated required the Qiyun suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Four Extremes Thousand Stele Array.
Although these two people had no idea what this Heaven and Earth Four Extremes Thousand Stele Array actually was.
They understood even less where this illusory, invisible, intangible Qiyun came from.
But... since the Sixth Shock said he needed it.
Then what they had to do was make sure he couldn’t get it...
The old and the young put their heads together.
They couldn’t beat the Sixth Shock and his lot.
They had thought Xu Huai Valley would clash with the Sixth Shock, but in the end, they didn’t.
So there was only one thing they could do.
They immediately went deeper into the Bei Forest and started pushing steles.
Of course, you couldn’t just push steles at random.
You had to find the Array’s eye.
In this regard, Shi Cheng was a total blockhead.
His way of roaming and exploring relied entirely on getting lost.
Unlike Shi Cheng, although Master Kong Yan’s mouth was foul, he came from a learned family.
In the Dao of Arrays, he possessed extremely profound attainments.
Otherwise, after breaking into this Array, he wouldn’t have been able to head straight for the core.
He immediately distinguished where the eye of this section of the Bei Forest lay and directly led Shi Cheng over to push.
It was really strange when you thought about it.
These steles all looked utterly ordinary.
Yet the moment Shi Cheng struck with a Heavenly Extinction Shocking Swallow Palm and toppled a stele, it actually unleashed a heaven‑shaking boom.
And it wasn’t just the stele he knocked over.
Using that point as the core, the surrounding steles all shattered!
This was the source of the thunderous boom the Sixth Shock heard.
It was just that the Bei Forest was extremely deep; sitting on the central round platform, he couldn’t see what was happening over there at all.
His brows knit tight, and he planned to continue circulating the Emperor’s Shocking World Book.
But when his inner breath moved, he suddenly felt its effect far inferior to before.
Thinking of the massive boom just now, how could he not understand what had happened?
His eyes bulged at once:
"Shi Cheng and that old Monk who can’t watch his mouth actually dare ruin my great undertaking?"
At this time and place, the ones causing trouble couldn’t be anyone else; it could only be Shi Cheng and Master Kong Yan.
He wanted to leap up, fly over, and beat that old and that young one to death on the spot.
Yet he was worried Su Mo might arrive any moment.
If, by then, his Emperor’s Shocking World Book hadn’t been cultivated to the Great Perfect Stage, and he still had to face Su Mo... that would truly be a dead end.
In the end he ground his teeth, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, ran his Mystical Skill, and continued cultivating.
This was a race against time!
To see whether he cultivated faster, or that old and young pair destroyed faster.
The Sixth Shock still managed to hold down his thoughts and suppress his impulses.
However, the commotion that erupted scared Xu Huai Valley half to death.
He had taken the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.
In truth, he’d never intended to listen to what the Sixth Shock said and go intercept Su Mo.
That would definitely be a trip with no return.
Never mind how nicely the Sixth Shock put it, talking about using an Array to contend with Su Mo.
No matter how powerful an Array was, it was far from omnipotent.
With Su Mo holding one Infinite Qian Kun from him, if he truly wanted to wreck this Bei Forest, it would be practically effortless.
Yet on his end, he’d be feeling pleased with himself, thinking the Array could trap Su Mo.
Only to fall right into Su Mo’s hands instead; by then, regret would come far too late.
Using his own life to buy time for the Sixth Shock—no matter how you calculated it, it was a losing deal.
Thus, Xu Huai Valley never entertained any other thoughts.
He went deeper into the Bei Forest and began searching for another path.
He intended to escape from this Bei Forest.
But after he’d taken only a few steps, he realized that from the direction he was heading came such a heaven‑shaking boom.
He froze, his face turning pale:
"Could it be that Su Mo has arrived?"
He had not seen Shi Cheng and Master Kong Yan earlier.
The Sixth Shock hadn’t mentioned them either.
How could he know there were two uninvited guests here?
And the only one who could make such a racket was Su Mo, who held the Infinite Qian Kun.
He just couldn’t understand why Su Mo hadn’t come down along the secret passage they’d used.
And had instead opened up another path?
But that didn’t matter anymore.
What mattered was that if he continued forward, he would probably run headlong into Su Mo.
His steps halted at once; he stopped on the spot, his brows knitting—then he gave a faint smile:
"Heaven truly helps me!"
Since Su Mo was coming from another direction, wouldn’t his original path be a broad, open road?
He immediately turned around and headed straight back the way he’d come.
He was sharp and practiced in the Dao of Arrays; this seemingly chaotic Bei Forest couldn’t trap him at all—he could come and go as he pleased.
In just a moment, he was already close to the secret passage entrance.
This place had vines that could lash out and harm people, so Xu Huai Valley flicked his hand and threw out the Infinite Qian Kun.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Explosions rang out one after another in the void; the vines were smashed to pieces before they could even get close.
He stepped forward, about to delve into the secret passage.
When he saw two figures flash, walking out from the passage.
Their gazes met, and Xu Huai Valley felt his scalp explode.
The newcomers were not others; they were Su Mo and Xiao He.
Su Mo also froze for a moment when he saw Xu Huai Valley:
"Lord Xu? Truly, there’s no telling where in life we’ll run into each other again, is there?"
Xu Huai Valley looked at Su Mo, then at Xiao He, then glanced toward the direction from which that boom had come; for a moment he didn’t know whether to call this despair or something else.
He only nodded repeatedly:
"Goodbye!"
He tapped his foot, and his figure flickered as he tried to dart into the Bei Forest.
But before he could get close, a chill suddenly spread underfoot.
He lowered his head; a wave of cold frost swept along the ground toward him, an icy chill at his feet—this was the Mystic Ice Seven Extremes!
