I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Liou Yuan was so desperate for money that he wouldn’t miss any opportunity to earn it.

As he spoke, he had already injected several seal skills into the array disc at the eye of the array in front of him, activating the Cold River Illusionary Water Array.

The array disc was stirred by Liou Yuan’s spiritual power, bursting forth with a dazzling blue spiritual power glow.

The spiritual glow began to flow along the array patterns, passing through two array nodes where the star stones were activated, continuously supplying power to the array.

Simultaneously, the activation of the array also triggered the Spirit River that crossed Qingbao County from behind the courtyard.

The river water poured in, providing even stronger support for the Cold River Illusionary Water Array.

The Cold River Illusionary Water Array is an illusion array, not possessing the obvious array barriers of the Refined Gold Breaking Mountain Array and the Earth Mother Prison Array.

Only a cerulean glow rose from the array, covering the surroundings.

Liou Yuan stood at the center of the array at this moment, savoring its mysteries while his hands continued their movements, injecting spiritual power into the Cold River Illusionary Water Array endlessly.

The Cold River Illusionary Water Array is an array at the peak of Qi cultivation, and due to its nature as an illusion array, it covers an extensive area of about five hundred meters.

With Liou Yuan, an array master, stationed at the array, this coverage extended even further, nearly encompassing two blocks of Qingbao County.

An expanse illuminated by the blue light fell entirely within the refraction range of the array.

Gazing towards the remnants of those building ruins.

Three disciples of the Qingxiao Sect, dressed in blue robes, were desperately besieging two demon cultivators.

The Qingxiao Sect had one at the Qi cultivation eighth layer, and so did the demon cultivators.

Even though their cultivation levels were comparable, and the Qingxiao Sect disciples had the advantage in numbers, they could not gain any real advantage when clashing directly.

The two demon cultivators laughed heartily, using various bizarre demon dao magic to suppress the three Qingxiao Sect disciples.

Out of the Qingxiao Sect disciples, two were already injured, leaving only the one with the highest cultivation, at the Qi cultivation eighth layer, struggling to hold on.

At this rate, all three would meet their end at the hands of the two demon cultivators.

A crucial moment.

Bang! A mighty blue light swept in from the direction of the riverbank.

Encompassing this entire area of ruins.

The sudden scene not only froze the Qingxiao Sect disciples in place but also left the demon cultivators with expressions of bewilderment and uncertainty.

Suddenly, their expressions shifted.

Because under the blue beam of light, the surrounding environment started to twist.

The buildings around Qingbao County slowly disappeared, replaced by towering wild mountains and forests.

The rubble underfoot also shifted, transforming into forest soil where grass grew gently.

Within the span of a breath, heaven and earth had changed.

The Qingxiao Sect disciples witnessing this, their faces turned ghostly pale, as this method had exceeded their comprehension.

It was only the demon cultivators who were slightly more knowledgeable; after a moment of shock, they realized and simultaneously exclaimed, "Illusion Technique!"

Another technique capable of altering heaven and earth instantaneously did exist, but only in legends.

At least in the Cyan Feather Realm, such powerful beings did not exist, so there was only one possibility: they had fallen into an illusion technique.

Even if it was an illusion technique, extending it to such a degree was exceptionally difficult.

The two demon cultivators exchanged a glance, seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.

"Retreat!" Only one look of understanding, and the two made an unhesitating strategic retreat from the three readily available Qingxiao Sect disciples, each fleeing in different directions.

They presumed they were escaping separately.

But to the Qingxiao Sect disciples, their movements seemed strangely eerie.

Because the two demon cultivators were just circling within a range of ten zhang, even though they passed by each other countless times, it appeared as if they couldn’t see one another at all.

"It’s haunting!" The Qingxiao Sect disciples felt horrified.

In their moment of bewilderment.

"Don’t move!" A cold voice abruptly sounded from behind them.

The trio turned around in unison, seeing a man in blue walking at a leisurely pace from the dense forest to their rear.

From the waist badge he wore, indicating he was a disciple of the Five Extremes Mountain, the Qingxiao sect disciples realized his identity.

Instantly, the previous nervousness and inexplicable tension calmed down.

"So it was a senior from the Five Extremes Mountain."

Since he was an ally, there was nothing to fear anymore.

Their sense of horror subsided, but as they looked at the man, their expressions involuntarily carried reverence.

To toy with two demon cultivators at the Qi cultivation eighth layer in such a manner was a definitive show of superior prowess.

They were also fortunate that he wasn’t their adversary.

Liou Yuan had no time to pay heed to the Qingxiao Sect’s trio; instead, he remained at his spot, watching the two demon cultivators running in circles with keen interest, chuckling to himself in satisfaction, "The Cold River Illusionary Water Array is indeed amusing; few in the Qi cultivation realm can see through this illusion."

The essence of an illusionary array lies in ’trapping’.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two demon cultivators will keep running until they are exhausted.

But if time goes on, they too would sense something amiss.

Even if they realize the abnormality, without means to break the illusionary array, they would remain trapped, fighting futile battles.

After watching for a while, Liou Yuan grew bored.

He resolutely, under the reverent gaze of the three Qingxiao Sect disciples, carried the Canglan Sword as he leisurely approached the two demon cultivators.

Despite Liou Yuan nearing them, they seemed completely oblivious to the bizarre goings-on, still circling around.

Until Liou Yuan swung his sword twice, and with two swooping strikes.

The two demon cultivators lost their heads, oblivious in death to who had slain them.

Two wisps of gray aura floated out from the demon cultivators’ bodies, merging with the Disciplinary Hall disciple’s badge Liou Yuan wore at his waist.

"Two demon cultivators, one at the Qi cultivation seventh layer, the other at the eighth layer, totaling thirteen points. A gain effortlessly achieved!"

Watching the two auras integrate into his badge, Liou Yuan thought with a grin.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to take the storage bags from the two demon cultivators.

Having accomplished all this, Liou Yuan, under the reverent gaze of the three Qingxiao Sect disciples, waved his arm.

Swish! The once sprawling mountain forest distorted again, reverting to its original form.

Liou Yuan stood among the ruins, waving the storage bag to the trio of Qingxiao Sect disciples in greeting, saying, "I’m off!"

Then, unhurriedly, he returned to the courtyard of the Disciplinary Hall.
