Chapter 2159: Chapter 1897: I Lost_2

"Of course I’m laughing at you."

Song Yun put away his smile and walked towards the pillar in front of He Tiansheng, saying: "You know nothing, yet you pretend to be knowledgeable. The two foreclaws of the True Dragon are not where the mechanism is. I merely tricked you. The real mechanism is situated three inches below the dragon’s neck, at the center of the dragon scale."

After speaking, Song Yun placed a hand on the relief-carved dragon scale.

With a creaking sound, the scale sank into the trapped dragon pillar.

Then, he placed one hand on the trapped dragon pillar and gently manipulated it, causing the pillar to rotate. The delicacy of his movements contrasted sharply with He Tiansheng’s brute strength.

He Tiansheng felt utter humiliation and was very angry.

Pointing at Song Yun, he shouted coldly: "Song Yun, you truly have a vicious heart, actually deceiving me!"

"So what if I deceived you?"

Song Yun sneered and stretched out his hand to He Sui, saying: "In this gamble, he has already lost. Hand me my Black Light Severing Sword, along with his Magic Artifact, Elixir Pills, and Token."

He Sui nodded, passed the items to Song Yun, and couldn’t help but exclaim: "Song Yun, you’re too brilliant."

Seeing Song Yun about to take the items, He Tiansheng hurriedly stopped and said: "No... it’s not over yet; you haven’t cracked this Array."

"Heh, He Tiansheng, you are really shameless." Song Yun looked at He Tiansheng blocking between him and He Sui and sneered: "Since that’s the case, I’ll make you admit defeat convincingly."

"Hmph!"

He Tiansheng snorted coldly, appearing calm on the surface, but inside he was very nervous, pondering how not to hand over the Token and other items.

"Next, I’ll open the Wu Sect."

Song Yun walked among the twelve trapped dragon pillars, pressing the dragon scale mechanisms on each one and twisting them to different degrees.

When he rotated all twelve trapped dragon pillars, suddenly, a cyan light beam emitted from a dragon eye on one of the pillars and passed to the dragon eye on the next pillar.

In an instant, the twelve trapped dragon pillars were linked together by the cyan light beam.

Finally, the beam reflected and shone on the northern stone wall.

The stone wall glowed, then nothing happened, and the cyan light connecting the twelve trapped dragon pillars gradually dimmed.

It seemed like nothing happened?

While everyone was confused, suddenly, the Xuanwu on the northern stone wall lit up.

The glow was not glaring, even quite dim, yet one could clearly feel the immense energy contained within.

Song Yun pointed at the Xuanwu on the stone wall and said to everyone: "Although the Wu Sect is where the treasure lies, its defense is remarkable. To open it, you need to keep attacking the stone wall. When the Xuanwu glow dims, the Wu Sect will open."

"Let me try."

He Sui stepped forward and struck the stone wall with a palm.

The True Energy Palm Shadow condensed and exploded on the stone wall.

Rumble.

The momentum was vast, dust flying everywhere.

However, the stone wall showed no damage, nor did the Xuanwu glow dim at all.

Her late-stage SSS-level strength was not weak, yet it was completely ineffective.

He Sui exclaimed in surprise: "With defenses this strong, when will we be able to completely break it!"

Upon seeing this, everyone frowned.

Suddenly, Lang Xiaoran looked at Song Yun and asked curiously: "Right, when we entered the palace earlier, the Tiger Leopard Bear Beast Spirit Clan people came out from a secret mechanism passage. Which gate did they take?"

Song Yun pondered: "They took the mechanism passage and did not open the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation gate. After entering, they were just wandering inside, without any gain. To obtain the treasure of the Daxia Ruins, one must go through the ’Tiger Gate,’ ’Wu Sect,’ and ’Longxuan Sect.’

Upon hearing this, everyone showed disappointed expressions.

They looked at the Xuanwu stone wall and shook their heads, realizing that to break the Xuanwu’s glow, given their combined strength, they might have to wait forever.

However, He Tiansheng’s eyes brightened with delight.

If he could get that Spiritual Artifact from Song Yun, the treasure of the Daxia Ruins wouldn’t be too attractive to him.

This trip would be worthwhile.

He exclaimed excitedly: "Haha, Song Yun, didn’t you say you could crack the Array? Why can’t you do it now? Since that’s the case, I win our gamble."

As he spoke, he reached out to He Sui: "He Sui, give me the items."

He Sui furrowed her brow slightly, looking at Song Yun, noticing Song Yun was calm and composed.

Then, Song Yun calmly said: "Who said I couldn’t crack the Array?"

"You can?" He Tiansheng sneered: "I admit your attack power is strong, but wanting the Xuanwu glow on the stone wall to completely dim, I don’t know how long that would take. Do you call that cracking the Array? Hmph, ridiculous!"

"What’s ridiculous is you." Song Yun walked over to the twelve trapped dragon pillars and said: "Who told you I would use brute force to crack the Array? The key to an Array lies in its arrangement. If it can be broken, then it can be changed. As long as I alter the Array and maintain its stability, the Array will fall apart by itself."

This statement left everyone bewildered.

But He Tiansheng was greatly shocked because in the Array books he read, after an Array is formed, it becomes a stable structure and state.

Any change to the Array could result in its collapse, and no one could be sure about the results.

Therefore, those who could change the Array post-arrangement were considered legendary Array masters.

Could Song Yun in front of them really change an Array!?

And the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation is certainly no simple Array. Does he truly have such extraordinary skills?

As He Tiansheng was torn between doubt and amazement, Song Yun walked among the twelve trapped dragon pillars and rotated them again.

Once he adjusted all twelve trapped dragon pillars, the cyan light beam reappeared.

This time, however, the beam eventually directed towards the stone wall to the east, the Azure Dragon’s "Longxuan Sect."

The moment the light touched the "Longxuan Sect," there was a booming sound, and the dragon’s mouth on the stone wall actually opened wide, revealing a passageway.

The passage was pitch black, as if the dragon’s mouth was ready to devour everything.

The "Longxuan Sect" opened so effortlessly, astonishing everyone.

But recalling Song Yun’s words about the dangers within the "Longxuan Sect," with many variables, they lost interest in it.

Everyone’s concern was how Song Yun would open the Wu Sect.

Boom.

At this moment, Song Yun suddenly shifted the beam direction to the trapped dragon pillar on the Azure Dragon stone wall.

The beam altered course, striking the northern Xuanwu stone wall.

Surprisingly, the light-emitting Xuanwu, impacted by the beam, didn’t become brighter but instead dulled instantly.

After a few seconds, the beam from the pillar dissipated.

And the Xuanwu on the northern stone wall lost its glow.

At this, everyone gasped.

He Sui couldn’t help but ask: "Song Yun, how did you do it?"

Song Yun explained: "The beam earlier linked the Longxuan Sect, then connected to the Wu Sect, causing the Array to mistakenly identify the Wu Sect as the Longxuan Sect. Therefore, the Wu Sect’s defensive power collapsed, that’s all."

"Really?!"

"Star Lord, you’re amazing."

"No wonder he’s my leader."

The Nine Stars group was exuberant.

Rumble.

At this moment, the Xuanwu stone wall cracked open in its turtle back, similar to the Longxuan Sect, revealing a dark entrance.

At this moment, He Tiansheng was dumbfounded.

Song Yun laughed: "He Tiansheng, I’ve opened the Wu Sect and also the Longxuan Sect as a bonus. Now, won’t you admit defeat?"

He Tiansheng’s expression flickered as he hesitated to speak.

This gamble couldn’t be resolved without acknowledging defeat.

But conceding meant all his possessions would go into Song Yun’s hands.

"Song Yun, you win, take the items."

Before He Tiansheng could speak, He Sui had already handed over the Black Light Severing Sword, along with He Tiansheng’s Magic Artifact, Elixir Pills, and other things to Song Yun.

Upon seeing this, He Tiansheng’s face changed, and he shouted: "He Sui, what are you doing?"
