Chapter 1452 - 512: The Mysterious Array Master
Water Spirit Array?
Ye Lingyue was entirely ignorant about arrays.
But from Di Shen’s tone, this array seemed simple.
Di Shen briefly explained the function of the Water Spirit Array to Ye Lingyue.
In arrays, there are ordinary, low-level, intermediate, and advanced types.
The ordinary arrays are mostly attack type, but low-level arrays are different.
The Water Spirit Array is a low-level array, and its main function is to absorb the Water Spirit.
"Wife, aren’t you in the logistics area? How did you encounter an Array Master?"
Di Shen’s voice lowered a bit, revealing some concern.
He had assumed that Ye Lingyue would be absolutely safe in the logistics area, but the sudden appearance of the Water Spirit Array meant there must be an Array Master in the logistics area and that the person was likely a low-level Array Master.
While in Qing Province Continent, Feng Xun was an Array Master, but Array Masters were scarce on the continent, even rarer than Alchemists and Artifact Refiners.
This also made cultivating arrays difficult on the Qing Province Continent because there were no suitable Array Charts.
Di Shen inherited Feng Xun’s talent in this area, but it wasn’t until he met Fu Sanshi that he truly came into contact with genuine arrays.
Fu Sanshi himself was an intermediate Array Master, but the Array Chart he gave Di Shen was his life’s learning, containing many low-level and even some intermediate arrays.
After arriving in the Central Plains, Di Shen browsed it casually.
His talent in this area was truly astonishing, not to mention the intermediate arrays, he had already mastered a large portion of the low-level arrays in the chart.
Because of this, Di Shen knew how formidable an Array Master could be.
Unlike Alchemists and Artifact Masters, the arrays set by a True Master have direct attacks, with some arrays being lethal upon contact.
But it was Ye Lingyue who encountered the Water Spirit Array instead of Di Shen, making Di Shen wish for wings to fly to Ye Lingyue’s side immediately.
"Di Shen, is there a way to break this Water Spirit Array?"
Ye Lingyue also picked up on the worry in Di Shen’s words.
"If I were there, I might be able to break it, but... wife, should I come over?"
Di Shen said anxiously.
So, Di Shen had already become a low-level Array Master?
Though she had known about Di Shen’s amazing talent, to become a low-level Array Master just by relying on an Array Chart without any guidance?
If Senior Fu Sanshi knew, he would probably be clutching his heart in frustration.
While feeling a sense of admiration, Ye Lingyue also felt a swell of pride.
That was her man, after all.
"No, you don’t need to come over. We already agreed to fulfill our duties separately. The whereabouts of Little Jiu Nian are far more important than the Water Spirit Array. Don’t worry, I can handle it. At most, in three months, I will definitely head to the Central Plains."
Ye Lingyue reassured Di Shen.
Seeing that his wife had made up her mind, Di Shen knew further persuasion would be useless.
"I trust you. However, the appearance of the Water Spirit Array means there must be a low-level Array Master by your side. Wife, just what have you encountered?"
Di Shen asked suspiciously.
"It’s just that a few villages are experiencing drought, nothing too dangerous. I’ve been down the well for a while; everyone must be worried. I’ll head up now. You don’t have to worry. I’ll wait for your good news."
Ye Lingyue said lightly.
Di Shen’s words made Ye Lingyue realize that this trip to Fang Ah County would likely surprise many.
Jiu Provinces Alliance, Master Chen, City Lord Ma—there’s no way you would have imagined such a situation occurring in the previously peaceful Fang Ah County.
On another note, her luck seemed quite peculiar, to encounter trouble even in such a cushy post.
Ye Lingyue rubbed her temples, memorizing the shape of the Water Spirit Array.
Beside the ancient well, a group was waiting.
An hour had already passed, but there was still no sign of Ye Lingyue from the well.
The crowd was getting uneasy, debating over what to do.
"What happened?"
Bo Qing and Senior Sister Wan Yun happened to come over.
"The well dried up, and the team leader went down to check out of caution."
As soon as Bo Qing heard Ye Lingyue was down there, his expression changed.
"Are you all even men? How could you let Ling Yue go down alone?"
"The team leader is far stronger than ordinary men."
Situ mumbled quietly, earning a fierce glare from Bo Qing.
"Quiet, the rope’s moving!"
At that moment, the rope twitched, and with Guangzi’s keen eyes, everyone quickly pulled Ye Lingyue up.
"I need to check the other villages first."
Ye Lingyue didn’t immediately mention the discovery of the Water Spirit Array, but went directly to other villages.
As Ye Lingyue expected, in several villages near Fang Ah County, she found the Water Spirit Array in hidden spots near wells or rivers.
This indicated that the droughts in these villages were not natural disasters but man-made events.
At midnight, in Fang Ah County’s county government, Ye Lingyue appeared solemn.
"I didn’t expect it to be an Array Master causing trouble. But what exactly does this unknown Array Master intend, and what is the use of the Water Spirit Array?"
The members of the Huangquan Team turned grave upon hearing of an Array Master’s involvement.
In Ancient Nine Provinces, an Array Master is a highly respected profession.
Fu Sanshi, as a low-level Array Master, could serve as a Hall Master in the Jiu Provinces Alliance, showing the significance of Array Masters.
Moreover, to have set up so many Water Spirit Arrays around multiple villages in Fang Ah County without anyone noticing, shows that the Array Master’s cultivation is not simple.
The opponent’s strength could even exceed that of a low-level Array Master, potentially reaching an intermediate level.
Ye Lingyue realized this as soon as she learned the function of the Water Spirit Array from Di Shen.
She didn’t mention it to avoid worrying Di Shen.
"I think this matter should be reported to the Jiu Provinces Alliance. The power of an intermediate Array Master is even greater than that of a Divine Power Realm expert. Even if all of us joined forces, we might not gain any advantage. This matter is beyond our team’s capabilities."
After contemplating for a long time, it was Lan Feng who finally spoke up.
The others remained silent, despite their reluctance to admit it, they understood how formidable an intermediate Array Master is.
"We don’t yet know if the other side is friend or foe. I think, rather than reporting immediately, it would be better to observe secretly first, figure out the other party’s intentions, and then make subsequent plans."
Ye Lingyue pondered for a moment and finally said.
