Chapter 234 Young General!

What kind of answer was that?

“Don’t tell me there are flaws in this array formation?” asked Lu Wuchang nervously.

“It’s not that bad.”

Pu Mingyue chuckled. “What I mean is that the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array is just an array formation. Since it’s an array formation, it can be broken. As long as someone can unlock it, they can freely enter and exit the valley.

“Of course, it won’t be easy to do that. This formation has been extremely famous since a thousand years ago. Even if an array formation grandmaster were to come, he wouldn’t be able to break it easily.

“Firstly, I’ve fused it with the vital energy of the valley. Forcefully breaking the array formation will target the entire valley, and even the surrounding mountains. To break it, one has to succeed in one go. Even a first-grade martial artist cannot do this.

“Secondly, why did I ask to find a wood-attribute treasure or spirit weapons to be the foundation of the array formation? It’s because wood-attribute treasures or spirit weapons can replenish the energy of the array formation. For example, every time these Bloodseeker Beasts collide with the barrier of this array formation, they will give some energy to the array formation. When this energy is absorbed back, it can limit the impact of the Bloodseeker Beasts’ attacks and quickly eliminate the destructive force.”

“Mutually complementary and neutralizing?” Lu Wuchang’s eyes widened. “Impressive, Head Mingyue. This Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array is impressive!” “It’s indeed not bad. According to the rules of this cycle, wouldn’t it be able to trap the Bloodseeker Beasts for life?” Gu Zhanlin was pleasantly surprised.

“No.” Pu Mingyue shook her head. “Even the most powerful formations will gradually dissipate over time. Just like machines, they have to be maintained from time to time in order to last long. The same goes for the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array. As time passes, the effects of the outside world will intensify. When that time comes, it will automatically disintegrate even without the attacks of the Bloodseeker Beasts.”

“That’s good enough. At least it’ll give us a year of buffer time,” said Lu Wuchang.

“That’s right. With this one year, we will be able to find a way to completely seal the entire valley,” agreed Fan Qi.

“No matter what, we can put this matter aside now.” Huang Xinghai clapped his hands and grinned. “I believe there’s nothing else for me here, right?” “No, thank you for your help, Old Huang,” said Gu Zhanlin.

“You’re welcome.” Huang Xinghai waved his hand. “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll make a move first.”

With that, he soared into the sky and flew into the distance.

“I have to go too,” said Bu Qing in a low voice. “This matter needs to be reported to the capital to the Head Supervisor and the others.”

“Let’s go together,” Su Jingxing agreed. “Alright.” Bu Qing nodded. The two of them pushed off their toes and charged into the sky.

Hu~

Hu!

The sound of rushing wind echoed in his ears.

Su Jingxing and Bu Qing headed straight for Qinghe City against the strong winds.

Suddenly, Su Jingxing stopped and sent a voice transmission with his true energy. “Envoy Bu, go ahead first. I have some matters to attend to.”

“…Alright, we’ll meet again next time,” replied Bu Qing before continuing to fly forward.

Su Jingxing remained in the air. Moments later, he took out Thunderbolt and enlarged it. Stepping on it, he flew to the left and swiftly increased his speed.

Double sonic speed, triple sonic speed, quadruple sonic speed… sextuple sonic speed!

He pushed to the fastest speed in one go. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three figures appeared where Su Jingxing had stopped after he disappeared. They looked at each other as they stared at Su Jingxing’s tracks.

“What should we do? Young General is way too fast?” A man in his thirties scratched his head and exclaimed.

“Kang Shaoyu, can you not address him so cordially? It’s still unknown whether this person is qualified to be our Young General,” sneered Zhou Leng.

“At least in terms of speed, he is qualified!” Kang Shaoyu grinned.

“…Do you look at speed when looking for a Young General?” Xiao Yuanfang was speechless. “There’s clearly something wrong with this Li Jing. The human skin mask on his face is very advanced. If it wasn’t for Little Duan’s special talent, ordinary people wouldn’t have discovered it. He deliberately disguised himself like this. Putting everything else aside, his true identity is definitely not simple!”

“Not simple? Heh, can it be more complicated than ours?”

Kang Shaoyu disagreed. “This person has inherited the Sishui Horned Dragon and swore on his soul to protect the Yu Nation for a hundred years. No matter what his identity is, he is qualified to be our Young General!”

“You…”

“Besides,” interrupted Kang Shaoyu. “If we don’t follow this Young General who has inherited the Sishui Horned Dragon, do we join the Changyang Prefecture Army and obey the Xia Family’s orders?”

“The Yu Nation is run by the cabinet now, not the Xia Family,” said Xiao Yuanfang irritably.

“Same thing.” Kang Shaoyu waved his hand and said, “To put it nicely, it’s the cabinet. A decision is made after all the ministers have a discussion. In reality, isn’t it a group of people who gather together because of benefits?”

“Don’t tell me you didn’t know what these ministers are like before we went into hibernation?”

Zhou Leng and Xiao Yuanfang remained silent.

“I believe all of you still remember how the General died back then,” said Kang Shaoyu calmly. He continued, “If not for those corrupt ministers in the imperial court, would the General have died so early? Would we have been forced to seal ourselves?”

Zhou Leng and Xiao Yuanfang became even quieter. Kang Shaoyu exhaled and went on, “Of course, what’s in the past is already in the past. If we keep harping on it, it will only make things worse for ourselves. It wasn’t easy for us to wake up and come to a new era 400 years later. Even if we don’t follow the Young General, we can still find something for ourselves to do.”

“In any case, I won’t join the military and listen to a group of profit-driven people. Especially the Golden Chen Family. They’re still active today. With the Chen Family’s background, do you think that none of the members in the cabinet are from the Chen Family?”

Xiao Yuanfang and Zhou Leng were even more speechless.

The Golden Chen Family had been sworn enemies of the Flying Lion army for more than 400 years.

Even after so many years, the Golden Chen Family was still a top faction in the Yu Nation.

If they joined the Prefecture Army, would the Golden Chen Family not take action?

Impossible!

“You’re right.” Xiao Yuanfang sighed and said, “Unless we disband, following the Young General is the best choice. The Young General who swore on his soul to protect the Yu Nation also needs us.”

“But to follow the Young General, we have to find him first, right?”

Xiao Yuanfang shrugged.

Su Jingxing ran too fast, and they lost him. They didn’t even have a chance to speak to him.

“There’s no hurry.”

Kang Shaoyu chuckled strangely. “It doesn’t matter if we can’t catch up. We’ll get someone to do a divination reading and we’ll know where the Young General is later!”

Su Jingxing took a long detour before returning to Qinghe City. He descended to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and did not know that someone was planning to follow him.

But he knew the people following him.

The person with a very familiar name, Lord Yuan Fang!
