Chapter 48: Sudden Change

  The first update is online, I'm going to code, brothers please cast your precious red tickets, clicks, and collections, let's rush up!

  This Crimson Flame Mountain Range spans ten thousand miles, who would have thought it was actually a large array?

  Racing through the Red Flame Mountains, Chen Tang thought of Ji Yu's previous words and still couldn't help but let out a burst of amazement in his heart.

  Earlier at the foot of the mountain, he was stunned because he was communicating with Ji Yu. According to Ji Yu's speculation, the crimson flame mountain range in front of him was a terrifying array that condensed the heavenly and earthly evil energies, which was not something that even a grandmaster of the Symbol Array could set up!

  Chen Yao's skills in Fu Dao are not bad, but he can only create talismans and can only make basic talismanic scrolls of the first rank. Only when his skills reach the level of a 9th rank talisman master can he be considered a talisman array master.

  The Fu Zhen Master is divided into three stages: upper, middle and lower. Beyond that is the Fu Zhen Grandmaster. Those who can stand out among the Fu Zhen Grandmasters are called the Great Fu Zhen Grandmaster!

  Those who can become a Grandmaster of the Formation Array must have already reached an unimaginable level in the way of formation, and only gods like Po Jie Di Xian in the cultivation world can reach this state.

  Moreover, the way of the symbol array is almost the most obscure and mysterious existence in all ways, and it is also the most time-consuming way. Unless some people with extraordinary talents, others can hardly walk this road to the end.

  It can be seen how terrifying the Array Grandmaster is!

  "This grand array should have been abandoned for many years without anyone in charge, otherwise the accumulated evil energy would not have dissipated, like the countless evil beasts you saw along the way, which were probably formed by the accumulation of evil energy from this grand array over time."

  Ji Yu's voice echoed in his mind once again, "Young one, aren't you trying to collect the Xuan Ming Sha Qi? Why not go to the center of this large array and take a look around. You might be able to find some precious treasures used for setting up the array."

  "A treasure that gathers evil energy?"

  "Not bad, setting up such a large array without some powerful treasures as the base of the array is simply impossible. And it's precisely because of the existence of these treasures that there are countless ferocious beasts rampaging everywhere in this Nán Màn Ming Yuè."

  Chen Xiao thought for a moment, and indeed it was so. The ferocious beasts were formed from the ferocious aura, if there wasn't an endless supply of ferocious aura supporting them, those ferocious beasts would have been slaughtered long ago, how could they be like this now, killing them without end?

  "Should I go and check on Zhen Ji?"

  After listening to Ji Yu's description, Chen Xiao was also moved, but thinking of still being with Du Qingxi and others, and having to go to that Sword Immortal Cave Mansion, he couldn't help but hesitate.

  "Qian Chen? What are you doing?" A stern voice suddenly exploded in his ear.

  At this moment, they were walking on a treacherous mountain path in the Red Flame Mountain Range, with steep cliffs on one side and an unfathomably deep abyss on the other.

  The mountain wind howled, as if it wanted to sweep people away. In the depths below, a crimson mist churned restlessly. As far as the eye could see, the seemingly bottomless chasm was like a lair for bloodthirsty beasts, their sharp and terrifying roars echoing out from time to time, sending shivers down one's spine.

  Due to the restriction of their cultivation, Du Qingxi and other Purple Mansion Realm cultivators were unable to fly, and had to walk between the steep cliffs with great care, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

  Chen Yu walked at the very front of the group, this was Chai Le Tian's arrangement, with an unspoken intention. Once something unexpected appeared in front, Chen Yu would be the first to bear the brunt, whether he lived or died was not important, what mattered was that he could win a chance for the people behind him to react.

  Chen Yao turned his head and saw Chai Le Tian staring at him coldly, with a hint of anger in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel slightly taken aback, was this guy going to cause trouble for him again?

  It's no wonder Chen Quan made such a guess. From the day they set out from Bloody City, Duanshi Ze and Chai Le Tian, this pair of love rivals, began their fierce competition. As the leader, Chai Le Tian gave orders to Duanmu Ze everywhere, treating him as if he were a servant. Duanmu Ze was secretly resentful and resisted everywhere, refusing to listen to any of Chai Le Tian's commands, and even pulled Chen Quan into opposing Chai Le Tian, making Chai Le Tian extremely angry.

  For this reason, Chai Le Tian not only hated Duanmu Ze to death but also hated Chen Tang, the 'accomplice', along with him. All the way, he would scold Chen Tang a few words from time to time, as if it was not enough to prove his identity as the team leader.

  Ni Ren still had a bit of earthly nature, and no matter how good Chen Tang's endurance was, he couldn't help but feel a hint of disgust and revulsion towards this disciple of Xing Luo Palace.

  "Chen Xiao, what's wrong? Is someone picking on you again?"

  Du Mu Zhe shouted from behind, seeing Shi Le Tian troubling Chen Suo, as a good brother who had gone through thick and thin together, he naturally wanted to express his dissatisfaction.

  "What's wrong with me?"

  Chai Le Tian coldly smiled and said: "We only have one day left, if we can't leave the Chi Yan Mountains in time, we will inevitably miss the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion, and it would be a waste for Su Jiao and others to get it easily. Are you willing to see this result?"

  "What does this have to do with Chen Yu?" Tanaka retorted.

  Next to him, Du Qingxi also frowned slightly. Along the way, she had seen the underhanded competition between Duanmu Ze and Chai Le Tian, but as a party involved, it wasn't her place to intervene. However, at this moment, seeing Chai Le Tian inexplicably direct his anger towards Chen Yao, she couldn't help but feel a surge of annoyance.

  "Haven't you all noticed that since Chen Chi started leading the team, our speed has slowed down significantly? This guy is obviously intentionally delaying time!"

  Chai Letian coldly said: "I now even suspect that he is a spy sent by Su Jiao, delaying our pace, so that we missed the opportunity to enter the Sword Immortal's mansion!"

  Am I procrastinating?

  Am I a spy?

  It's really "to add insult to injury", what a perfect excuse!

  Chen Xiao was stunned, and in her heart, she had already detested Chai Le Tian's behavior to the extreme.

  "Haha, saying Chen Tang is a spy for Su Jiao? Do you know what kind of relationship Chen Tang and Su Jiao have? It's really fucking absurd!" Hearing this explanation, Duanmu Ze, who had always been very particular about his demeanor, couldn't help but curse loudly.

  "It was you who let Chen Tang lead the team, and it's also you who says Chen Tang is delaying the team. Brother Chai, are you mistaken?" Du Qingxi's voice was cold and clear, with no attempt to conceal her dissatisfaction.

  "Ugh, having to bother Chen Su again is really unbearable." Song Lin opened his sleepy eyes, and a hint of cold light flashed in his pupils.

  "It can't be said like that, Brother Chai is also considering everyone's interests, after all, our goal is the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion, if someone else enters first, it might not be good for everyone."

  "Hmph, I and brother support Chai Ge, from what I see, that kid is obviously just stalling for time!"

  "Yeah, my brother is right."

  "Everyone, don't quarrel anymore, actually Chai brother is also for everyone's good."

  Yú Hàobái of Wàn Yún Academy, Dù Quán and Dù Kuí of Fēng Líng Academy, and Mùróng Wèi of Qīng Mù Academy also spoke up, but they all sided with Chái Yuètiān.

  Xia Letian didn't expect that just scolding Chen Yu a sentence would lead to this situation, and he couldn't help but think that Chen Yu was the fallen son of a declining family, so why did Du Qingxiang and the others protect him like this?

  What's wrong?

  If I were to make concessions, wouldn't that be equivalent to admitting that I was looking for trouble with Chen Yu?

  No way!

  Absolutely cannot give in, all the way here, this kid and Du Mu Ze have been against me everywhere, taking this opportunity, I would rather get rid of this kid than let him off!

  As he thought of this, Chai Letian touched the scar on his left cheek, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and his right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing Chen Tai's back collar, and with a flick of his arm, Chen Tai was thrown straight into the deep abyss on one side!

  Chen Xiao never thought that Chai Le Tian would do such a thing, and by the time he reacted, his entire body had already been thrown dozens of feet into the air above the abyss. Suspended in mid-air with no way to borrow strength, he could only watch helplessly as he fell towards the depths like a piece of fluttering rag.

  Chen Xiao didn't shout, nor did he yell. He just pursed his lips tightly, his eyes fixed intently on the figure in the distance that was getting farther and farther away. Anger surged through his body like scorching hot magma, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot and bright red, the blue veins on his pale face bulged out, and a fierce hatred flashed across his face!

  I'll burn you to ashes, and make sure your soul is tormented for eternity, never to be reincarnated!

  ……

  On the steep cliff side, beside the deep chasm, the mountain wind howls like a dragon.

  Deathly stillness, with only the shrill wind whistling and howling.

  No one expected that Chai Letian would launch a surprise attack on Chen Yu, and even more unexpected was that he didn't say a word before directly throwing Chen Yu into the abyss!

  The change came too quickly, almost in an instant, before anyone could react, Chen Yu had fallen into the deep abyss of the rolling red fog, disappearing from sight.

  "You despicable scoundrel, I'll screw your mother! I'll kill you!" Du Mu Ze was the first to react, roaring with anger as he charged towards Chai Le Tian to fight him to the death.

  Song Lin hastily blocked him on one side and shouted loudly: "Calm down! There is an abyss on this side, do you want to fall down too?"

  "Why must it be so!" Du Qingxi's face was as cold as ice, with anger burning fiercely in her clear eyes.

  "It's just a small ant, dead and gone, why make such a fuss?" Chai Letian chuckled and patted his hands together, as if he had done something insignificant.

  "You... are really ruthless!" Chai Le Tian's nonchalant attitude made Du Qing Xi's body tremble with anger, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to form an alliance with you."

  "Qingxi, I've been tolerating him for a long time on this journey. Are you going to turn against me over just one insignificant ant?" His voice was low and menacing, with a hint of threat.

  Du Qingxi's expression faltered, and a hint of weakness and despair welled up in her eyes. She could turn against Chai Letian, but the Du family behind her would never allow her to do so.

  "Let me go! I'm going to kill this despicable scoundrel!" Du Mu Ze shouted in anger.

  Song Lin tightly hugged him, and a loud voice transmitted: "Wake up, do you want to bring trouble to your Portia family? That Chai Le Tian is not worth worrying about, but the Yin Yang realm old ancestor behind him is absolutely not something our families can contend with!"

  "Is it going to end like this?" Tanaka Zaka muttered to himself in a daze.

  A bitter smile spread across Song Lin's lips: "What else can be done, just hope Chen Tai can survive, don't forget, he is still a powerful body cultivator, even without any support, falling into the abyss won't kill him..." His voice grew weaker and lower, apparently he had no confidence in his own words.
