I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Only the direction near the main road in the city has high walls, but there are no walls in the rear; turning around, one can see the clear flowing water by the riverside behind the courtyard and the drooping willows on both sides.

Liou Yuan locked his gaze on that river running across all of Qingbao County, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and quickly decided what array to set up this time.

"This place is built by the water, just right for arranging the Cold River Illusionary Water Array. With assistance from this Spirit River, the array’s power can be unleashed, more potent than other formations."

"Moreover, the Illusionary Water Array can trap enemies; even cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer would have to circle around for quite a while, which is enough for the Wind Chasing Division to react."

While speaking, Liou Yuan wiped the storage ring on his finger, and the array disc engraved with the Cold River Illusionary Water Array was taken out by him.

Earlier in Qiwen Mountain, he had been researching the Cold River Illusionary Water Array, already well mastered, even with ready-made array discs available.

"That’s good, young master sets up the arrays, saving the hassle of running around, with time to spare for cultivation."

Liou Yuan chuckled in his thoughts.

Thanks to his identity as an Array Master, he could cultivate during missions.

Others don’t have such privileges.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Liou Yuan must set up the array.

Currently, Qingbao County is in turmoil; Liou Yuan also dared not delay too long, holding the array disc, he walked around the courtyard and quickly decided the position for setting up the array’s core.

Then stood on the rooftop, using the Artifact Manipulation Celestial Calculation Spell to wield the Canglan Sword and carve lines of array patterns in the courtyard.

This process requires one to two days.

Because he had never arranged the Cold River Illusionary Water Array before, Liou Yuan also had to refer to the array inheritance book "Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation" from time to time, thus prolonging the time taken.

Fortunately, Tian Qiweng and others knew that array setup couldn’t be completed in a short time and hadn’t disturbed him during this period.

Allowing Liou Yuan to immerse himself in array setup diligently.

Thus, a day and night passed.

The rising morning sun climbed up from the horizon, casting a golden hue over the blood-stained ground outside Qingbao County City.

Dawn also gradually climbed within the county city, shining over the courtyard walls and onto the busy figure of Liou Yuan.

Liou Yuan had just finished engraving the Cold River Illusionary Water Array patterns, pouring Star Stones into two array hubs while muttering:

"If this array continues until the mission ends, even a hundred Star Stones won’t be enough."

"Isn’t it time to claim reimbursement from Yan Yingsi for the Star Stones and array disc expenses needed for the array setup?"

In order to reserve merit points for purchasing Wood Spirit Qi, Liou Yuan almost sold off his family assets, and is now extremely frugal, wishing to use one Star Stone as two.

Just as Liou Yuan finished filling the Star Stones, activating the array disc at the core.

Boom!

A tremor erupted in the direction of Dongcheng gate in Qingbao County, followed by continuous spiritual power fluctuations shaking.

Then the West City Gate also shook with spiritual power fluctuations immediately afterwards.

"Demon Cultivators are coming?" Upon hearing the distant commotion, Liou Yuan, standing at the central array point in the courtyard, raised an eyebrow, and immediately looked towards the two locations where spiritual power was surging with his Evil Eyes.

The Dongcheng gate and West City Gate were Tian Qiweng and Jia Panshan’s positions to guard, working alongside Qingxiao Sect disciples.

Now as Liou Yuan looked over, his Evil Eyes could just make out the spiritual power light of Tian Qiweng and Jia Panshan amidst the turbulent clash with owners of many obscure spiritual power fluctuations.

Clearly, they were already engaged in intense battle.

Tian Qiweng’s strength ranked well among the Outer Sect disciples of Five Extremes Mountain, not someone ordinary demon cultivators could resist.

As the sound of swords resonated, several demon cultivators’ spiritual power fluctuations extinguished instantly, stabilizing the situation at the West City Gate.

Then at Jia Panshan’s fortified East City Gate, flames of magic soared, corresponding with the dawn’s glow, also suppressing the demon cultivators’ offense.

"In our Wind Chasing Division, there isn’t a weakling." Liou Yuan took a quick glance and revealed a reassuring smile.

The benefit of having strong teammates is he can steal some leisure during busy times.

Once the Cold River Illusionary Water Array is completed, he will begin cultivating.

Wind Chasing Division disciples are often out capturing villains, among whom many are the cream of the crop at the same realm, fierce figures among demon cultivators.

Now even showing their prowess slightly, they awed all the Qingxiao Sect disciples.

As Liou Yuan was about to withdraw his gaze and refocus on activating the array.

Rumble! Within a hundred yards near the courtyard gathering the Wind Chasing Division, a sudden explosion resounded.

Following was the huge sound of buildings collapsing, bringing up a large area of drifting smoke and dust.

In the roaring sound, Liou Yuan faintly heard Qingxiao Sect disciples swearing: "How did these bastard guys sneak into the city."

"Support! These two guys are too strong; we can’t hold them off." the angry curses were answered by a faint voice.

The sides’ apparent gap in strength left Qingxiao Sect disciples unable to resist.

Liou Yuan shook his head murmuring to himself: "Demon Cultivators’ methods are peculiar; how can ordinary city walls stop them? Qingbao County without array protection is bound to suffer passive adversity."

He previously wanted to help Qingbao County restore its arrays, and now this idea was even more intensified.

Aside from the murmuring, since the task assigned above was for Liou Yuan to annihilate demon cultivators, encountering such a situation means there’s no reason to sit idle.

"Killing a demon cultivator awards merit points."
