Chapter 856 - 289: Array Dao (3)
Time slowly passed.
Lin Zheyu temporarily settled on the island.
U Di opened the remnants of the Heaven-Deceiving Array outside the main hall for Lin Zheyu to research, comparing them with the remnants on the parchment, making it much easier to study.
Another two days passed.
Just as Lin Zheyu was immersed in the research of the remnants of the Heaven-Deceiving Array, the bracelet on his left hand suddenly emitted a faint golden glow.
"Someone is pinpointing my location!"
Lin Zheyu frowned slightly, his expression somewhat grim.
This was one of the functions of the blue-glazed bracelet; whenever someone locates him through a secret technique, it issues a warning.
"Is it that old guy from Lingyun Pavilion?"
"Or Wu Yixuan?"
Lin Zheyu pondered secretly.
It was still early in the year; Fan Hongwei should still be refining relevant magical treasures, and was unlikely to seek him out this early.
As for Wu Yixuan, Lin Zheyu had previously removed the mark that Wu Yixuan had left on him, making it even less likely.
"Could it be that the old guy mentioned the year just to relax my vigilance, and it actually doesn’t take that long?"
Lin Zheyu was secretly alert.
This is what he worried about the most.
If it were true, that would be troubling.
Fan Hongwei’s strength is unfathomable; even if Lin Zheyu mastered the fourth cut of the Seven Extremes Blade, he still had no confidence in defeating him.
"I must return quickly."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself, feeling a sense of urgency.
Even if Fan Hongwei has reached Golden Elixir Perfection, as long as Lin Zheyu returns to the Martial Realm, he doesn’t believe Fan Hongwei would dare cause trouble in Flame Martial City.
He once beat Wu Yixuan, and even with the Wu Family backing him, Wu Yixuan didn’t dare cause trouble in Flame Martial City; Lin Zheyu couldn’t believe Fan Hongwei would dare.
"Rise!"
With determination, Lin Zheyu stood up.
With a thought, he divided the remnants of the Heaven-Deceiving Array enveloping the main hall into eight parts under the control of his spiritual sense and placed them into his storage bag.
U Di had already released the core of the array; though Lin Zheyu couldn’t strip it off completely undamaged.
He could at least damage parts of the array, and forcibly take them back.
But this way, the array would be useless, only for research and understanding.
U Di sensed the commotion, a look of surprise emerging on his face.
He was already in the house next door to Lin Zheyu and quickly went over.
"Have you sorted out the knowledge related to Array Dao?"
Lin Zheyu looked at U Di and said calmly.
"Returning to senior, it’s just a little bit left."
U Di said carefully.
He furtively glanced at Lin Zheyu, seeing Lin Zheyu’s face looking somewhat grim, and hurriedly said, "But it’s almost done, if senior allows me another hour, I’ll definitely sort it out!"
"No need."
"Just give me all the books on arrays you have."
Lin Zheyu said lightly.
"Yes, senior!"
U Di hastily complied.
Under Lin Zheyu’s gaze, he dared not hesitate and grabbed a few jade scrolls and some incomplete array flags and array compasses from his storage bag with his right hand.
"Senior, just these."
U Di said carefully.
"Alright."
Lin Zheyu nodded lightly, holding a high-grade spirit stone in his hand.
"Take this spirit stone as your compensation, until we meet again."
Lin Zheyu said calmly.
U Di’s knowledge of arrays was quite good; Lin Zheyu didn’t want to push too hard, possibly having use for U Di in the future.
"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!"
U Di grabbed the high-grade spirit stone, a look of astonishment appearing on his face, quickly turning into surprised gratitude.
He had prepared to suffer a great loss, not expecting that this senior not only didn’t touch the Purple Infant Fruit but also offered him a high-grade spirit stone.
Though this high-grade spirit stone could not compare to what Lin Zheyu took from him.
But U Di was prepared to take a hit.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not suffer a loss, but he also gained a high-grade spirit stone; it was pure joy!
"Sen..."
"Um..."
U Di was about to express his gratitude once more when, suddenly, that senior turned and was gone, vanishing without a trace.
"Such speed!"
"This senior is truly a good person!"
U Di clutching the spirit stone, said with admiration.
His tense spirit of several days suddenly relaxed completely.
U Di’s heart surged with a mysterious realization, and the once impenetrable Golden Core threshold subtly loosened.
"!!!"
U Di’s eyes widened, his expression intensely excited.
Originally, even with the help of the Purple Infant Fruit, he had little confidence in forming the Fake Elixir.
But now, if he grasps this realization, U Di has great confidence in ascending to a Perfect Fake Elixir Realm!
...
Lin Zheyu, unaware of U Di’s thoughts, didn’t pay much attention either.
At this moment, he was exerting all effort to activate the Shrinking Earth Skill, his speed soaring to thirty times the speed of sound, rushing toward the nearest Martial Realm teleportation array.
He wasn’t ready yet; he still hadn’t obtained advanced cultivation techniques for the Divine Treasure Realm and Shackled Realm.
Lin Zheyu didn’t want to fall into Fan Hongwei’s hands so early.
"Hmm?"
"Again with the pinpointing, what’s going on?"
Racing along, Lin Zheyu frowned at the glowing bracelet, feeling a sense of unease.
Continuous pinpointing indicates the other party is likely tracking his location.
"If it’s really that old guy, it will be troublesome."
Lin Zheyu felt anxious, his speed pushed to the limit.
Meanwhile, his powerful perception spread out, constantly monitoring the movements around him.
If truly found, he could only deploy strategic maneuvers, seeking another chance for escape; this was Lin Zheyu’s worst-case scenario.
Whoosh~~~
Racing at thirty times the speed of sound, fierce winds rushed in, creating a rushing sound.
At this full speed, Lin Zheyu could only maintain it for about ten minutes.
To prevent surprises, he raced for five minutes, then began to slow down.
Suddenly, Lin Zheyu’s expression shifted and he abruptly stopped.
He looked toward the void with a slight frown.
There, Lin Zheyu sensed a faint aura of danger.
Although the opponent concealed themselves well, they couldn’t escape Lin Zheyu’s perception and powerful martial intuition.
He took a deep breath, calmly saying, "Senior, since you’re here, come out. Why hide?"
"Haha!"
"As expected of Mr. Xiao, indeed extraordinary after opening spiritual divine techniques; able to detect our ambush!"
Suddenly, a yellow light flashed, a familiar figure gradually materializing.
Tu Yuan looked at Lin Zheyu, laughing heartily.
"Hmm?"
"It’s you!"
Lin Zheyu saw the person, momentarily stunned, nearly unable to react.
Damn, the one continuously tracking him with secret techniques wasn’t that old Fan Hongwei, but instead, Tu Yuan!
In Lin Zheyu’s scenarios, he had not considered Tu Yuan at all.
Even Wu Yixuan had a higher possibility than Tu Yuan!
"Oh?"
"Who did Mr. Xiao think it would be?"
Tu Yuan raised an eyebrow, seeing Lin Zheyu relax slightly, feeling a bit underestimated.
"Why has Tuyuan obstructed Mr. Xiao? Is it to kill and loot?"
Lin Zheyu stared coldly at Tu Yuan, a wave of murderous intent rising.
Inside, his qi blood surged, a terrifying sword intent brewing, ready to unleash a shocking strike at any moment.
This guy deserves it, letting him worry for so long.
