Chapter 1256A. Sin

…

This Zhang Zhongshi was naturally worthy of trust. If it weren’t for this, who would have dared to come out and take the lead in killing a Peach Garden disciple?

The Spring Master rarely came out in these past years, so he slowly developed a reputation for being withdrawn. But as members of the Saint circles, they naturally knew just how many people the Spring Master had slaughtered when the Peach Garden was first being established in order to obtain his current reputation.

Because there was fear, there was trust.

Anyone who participated in today’s matter was equally responsible. No matter who it was, they wouldn’t dare to take the initiative to reveal anything about what happened here. Otherwise, not only would that person be ruined, but their family and all their relatives would meet extinction.

The people of the Peach Garden had never been kind or merciful!

This was also the basis for why so many cultivators dared to join together. They knew that they would rather die than leak their secrets.

Before, Qin Yu had only heard from Old Turtle how terrifying this battle array formation was. So even though he felt some dread, it was only something he heard about. But now that he entered the array formation himself, he was able to sense just how frightening it actually was.

When he was in the abyss world, he had grasped the method of viewing the heavens and earth. No matter how exquisite the battle array formation in front of him was, it couldn’t be compared to the heavens and earth. And since he was in it, he could clearly see it.

But just because he could clearly see it didn’t mean he could undo it.

Luckily, he had Old Turtle with him. Recently Qin Yu’s impression of this fellow was that he was nearly omnipotent.

Old Turtle vaguely sensed Qin Yu’s thoughts and suddenly felt a surge of pride. He thought that at least this kid finally opened his eyes and realized who the True God here was.

Cough cough…but in this way, if he just purely broke through the array formation, although that could still achieve the intended goal, it was still far from perfection.

In particular, since Qin Yu had just ‘recognized’ who was the True God now, he had to strike while the iron was hot and reinforce this impression in his heart.

To do this, he had to find a way to increase the difficulty. Even if there was no difficulty, he had to come up with some!

As these thoughts turned three times in his head, Old Turtle coughed and said with the demeanor of a great expert, “Master, breaking this array formation is only a matter of turning my hand, but it would be too wasteful to do so. Please listen to what I have to say first.”

Afterwards, explaining in a lofty tone, the general summary was like this: If the array spirit could be subdued, it would be beneficial to master’s cultivation!

Ever since Qin Yu learned about Peachy’s condition from the Spring Master and became a part of the Peach Garden’s four-and-a-half member squad, even though he had appeared calm on the surface, he actually had an extreme feeling of urgency.

After all, that was the Ruler boundary!

It was a boundary known to stand above the heavens and smile down at the myriad world. It was the known limit of cultivation in the vast brightness world, an existence that surpassed True Saints who had reached the other shore.

He walked down the True God’s Path, and thus God boundary, Origin God boundary, Saint, and other such divisions were meaningless to him. Even so, their relative strengths and weaknesses were related.

Don’t look at the fact that Qin Yu had accomplished the magnificent feat of becoming a Dual Saint Slayer. His true strength could at most be ranked at the peak of the Origin God boundary. He could hold out for a few moments in front of a Saint, but not for long.

Of course, this was Qin Yu’s condition before he entered the Lost Garden. Here, he had absorbed the source of life and borrowed its abilities to cultivate at the rules trial field. Even if it wasn’t for long, the speed at which he comprehended the rules was terrifying, and his strength had significantly improved.

But even so, he was far, far away from his goal. So far that it left one feeling desperate. Even if his willpower was formidable enough that he didn’t feel depressed about it, he subconsciously became eager to improve his strength.

Since this could help his cultivation, he certainly had to try. Listening to Old Turtle’s careful explanation, there was some difficulty. But as long as Qin Yu did it himself, there wasn’t no chance of success.

There was nothing to hesitate about. Let’s try it!

Old Turtle smugly smiled. As expected, this fellow Qin Yu was rubbing his hands, eager to cultivate. He had noticed this when Qin Yu used the source of life to cultivate.

Hehe, it had to be known that restraining his own inertia and laziness while absorbing the source of life and being able to focus on cultivating wasn’t easy at all.

Once he succeeded this time, his image as the unfathomable and omnipotent ‘Shadow of the Abyss’ would become much more stable. It probably wouldn’t be long before Qin Yu lowered his head and ears, listening to him with even more regard.

Cough cough, why was he so full of confidence? Yes, the difficulty of this matter was indeed a bit exaggerated.

Even as a shadow, he still needed to coordinate acting with strategy!

Under the premise where no one was harmed, what was wrong with using suitable means to obtain an even greater advantage?

Qin Yu paused. He took a deep breath and slowly pushed his hands forward.

Outside the array formation, Zhang Zhongshi looked up, staring at Qin Yu’s back. His eyes flashed with surprise. This position was different from what he had been told before.

But it wasn’t a big problem. As long as he entered the approximate range, he could gather the power of the array formation and stimulate the array spirit to go crazy and drag White Phoenix into the underworld with it.

Encircling and killing the Peach Garden’s White Phoenix could be ranked as one of the greatest major life events of everyone participating, so of course they were cautious.

Zhang Zhongshi’s expression changed. He wasn’t able to conceal the truth from others, so their complexions began to change too.

“Fellow daoist Zhang, what is it?” One of them asked.

Zhang Zhongshi was silent for a time. He shook his head, “It’s fine.”

It really was fine, at least on the surface. Besides a slight difference in position and some hesitation during the action, everything else was more or less correct.

And the battle array formation’s strength had started to gather, fusing into the array spirit and stimulating it until it became crazy.

To a peak array master, ruining an array spirit was incredibly hard to accept.

But in Zhang Zhongshi’s eyes, it was all worth it. Ever since his wife and children were killed and his family was forced to make peace with the enemy afterwards, he had died. All that remained alive these past years was his body.

Killing White Phoenix and taking revenge for his wife and children was the only thought that sustained him and allowed him to survive until now. As long as he could kill White Phoenix, then let alone an array spirit, he could even compensate with his life.

…

White Phoenix felt pressure.

The strength erupting from the array spirit grew increasingly strong. He was gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Moreover, as time passed, White Phoenix could clearly feel that the array spirit was growing increasingly wild, even giving off a sense that it would lose control soon.

Taking a deep breath, White Phoenix’s heart sank. Faintly, he could guess that idea of the person who set up this array formation. They wanted to use the array spirit as a sacrifice to drag him down to hell!

If White Phoenix could sense something wrong, then the array spirit was naturally able to realize it long ago. But just like White Phoenix said, it was only an array spirit, one condensed by the array formation. Even if it had its own consciousness, it couldn’t interfere with the revolution of the array formation.

This was completely different from what it had agreed to originally.

Its master had deceived it!

The array spirit was enraged, and this rage accelerated the rate at which its mind was falling into madness. The black-clothed White Phoenix’s eyes grew increasingly red.

But at this time, Old Turtle’s voice resounded in the array spirit’s ears. “Are you angry? Do you find this situation hard to accept? Now, I can give you a chance to continue living on, to leave the shackles of this array formation and see the world with your own eyes.

“Do you accept this?”

The array spirit’s thoughts fluctuated, “I do!”

Old Turtle: …

This was a quick and direct answer. Was there no need for consideration?

Ah…perhaps this was easier than he imagined.

No, it was at least ten times easier!

This was troublesome. Just now, in order to raise his own contributions and strengthen his merits, Old Turtle had said a lot, such as ‘this matter is extremely difficult’, ‘I’m not too sure I can succeed’, ‘master, please think about this carefully’, and other such things.

But what now? With just one question the plan had almost succeeded. This was simply a slap in his face!

“Cough!” Old Turtle hesitated, “In truth, you can consider it again.”

The array spirit said, “There is no need.”

“You need to.”

Array spirit: …

If it wasn’t facing a life and death situation and also combined with the fact that the master of this voice was its only hope of surviving, the array spirit would have blown up in anger long ago.

You are just playing with me!

You were the one who took the initiative to strike up a conversation and I agreed, but now you are refusing me? What is the meaning of this!?

Old Turtle continued to say, “In short, you just need to think about it. Don’t ask why, just stick with it for a while and try to be realistic. If you do, I can help you exist for even longer.”

He suddenly spoke in a serious and proper tone, “You should understand the flaws in your existence the most. Two months is the most I can give you.”

The array spirit readily agreed.

If the master of this voice could understand its problems and communicate with it so easily, that meant it absolutely had the qualifications to fulfill the promise it had made before. And all it had to do was delay for a while and make things more difficult? This was actually easy to understand and also simple to do.

It just happened that the array spirit didn’t find White Phoenix pleasing to the eyes. What do you mean ‘I am me, and you are just an array spirit’…I understand this much more than you do, so do I need the likes of you to remind me?

Because of these unkind words, I’ll beat you up for a bit!

As a result, the array spirit became increasingly wild and White Phoenix was beaten up.

Although he wasn’t put in a miserable position, he looked distressed on the surface. The array spirit that was condensed from the strength of the array formation and was near the verge of explosion was erupting with its complete strength in a short period of time. Of course it was terrifyingly strong.

Outside the array formation, for some unknown reason Zhang Zhongshi began to feel restless. As everyone was excited, he suddenly stepped forward and pressed down a hand.

Without waiting, Zhang Zhongshi had activated his backup plan, sacrificing Qin Yu and causing the array spirit to go crazy so that White Phoenix died here.

Hum –

Shocks erupted from where his hand fell and spread out like a wave.

Then…nothing happened.

The array formation was still there. Although the array spirit had gone crazy, it hadn’t yet lost its mind.

There was a problem!
