Zhi Yuefeng, Brother Chao and the other two shadow warriors immediately split in different directions.
They moved very agilely away from each other then with Brother Chao's direction, they ran towards the door.
One man failed to get to the door, was immediately replaced by his partner, and so on. Even Zhi Yuefeng did the same thing so that the array in the room was not aware that Zhi Yuefeng had been aiming for a weak point that since a while ago had not been moved.
Zhi Yuefeng had already finished drawing the array intervention pattern on his back while running towards the weak spot that was perched on the mirror. All he needed to do was stay within his reach and continue to touch him.
Letting the array on its back resonate with the weak spot only after that along with the disappearance of the array pattern on Zhi Yuefeng's back, began the process of array intervention.
The key to success in intervening an array was how powerful the Array Expert and Zhi Yuefeng were? Of course he can do it in seconds.
The array rumbled as the intervention was successfully carried out. Immediately, the array was turned off and Zhi Yuefeng was able to exit the room.
After exiting the room, Zhi Yuefeng had not been able to breathe as relieved as Mu Lian and the others or the group of intruders as they still had to chase after Mo Fan and turn off the core of the house.
Zhi Yuefeng divided the tasks to his three shadow warriors, one in charge of protecting them from all sorts of dangers, not needing to fight back as it was increasingly a waste of time.
One person activated the anti-detection array to keep their existence unknown to the enemy, and another person activated the array to search for Mo Fan's whereabouts.
While Zhi Yuefeng himself, intervened in every array they encountered. The speed at which Zhi Yuefeng intervened in those arrays was terrifying.
In just five minutes he was able to intervene in 4 arrays at once. Brother Chao, though very careless is the most reliable shadow swordsman Zhi Yuefeng can both infiltrate and track someone.
Brother Chao continued to guide Zhi Yuefeng towards Mo Fan while continuing to observe the face of his master. Zhi Yuefeng's face was slightly pale after forcing himself to use his spiritual energy.
"Young master," said Brother Chao persuading his master not to force himself. But seeing Zhi Yuefeng telling him to stop talking finally Brother Chao just said, Brother,
"The man is right in front of us. The position is just there,"
"Thank you. After successfully entering the room, immediately snatch the core from him. I'm counting on you, Brother Chao, you know what?" zhi Yuefeng said.
"Okay young master!" replied Brother Chao. His heart was beating with nervousness. But Brother Chao still wants to try as much as possible to fulfill Zhi Yuefeng's wishes.
Before long, they arrived at the location that Brother Chao had pointed out. Zhi Yuefeng had everyone stop to check the weak points of the array of the room.
Unfortunately, Zhi Yuefeng only found the weak point of the array of rooms that were not far from them but the room overlapped with the room where Mo Fan was.
What's okay, Zhi Yuefeng had to deactivate the array of the room before finally being able to subdue Mo Fan.
The array was deactivated in just a few seconds then Zhi Yuefeng entered the room to look for the weak point of the room where Mo Fan was.
It only took an instant to be able to find the weak spot and it was a few seconds faster to intervene in the array from outside.
One of the shadow warriors smashed the mirror wall into pieces, giving way to Brother Chao.
Utilizing the momentum that his partner had created, Brother Chao exerted all his strength to bring out his flagship style.
The main goal is the man who is curled up in the corner of the room. Indeed Brother Chao could not yet determine where the core of the house was, but when Mo Fan turned his head towards himself and Zhi Yuefeng, Brother Chao could see the core of the house in the man's grasp.
Brother Chao marked the core of the house in order to activate his manager, with his manager, Brother Chao arriving beside Mo Fan a few seconds later and successfully seizing the core of the house.
It took Mo Fan a few seconds to realize that the thing that was guarded like his own life had been snatched from him.
"AKH! NAY! RESTORE IT! RETURN IT!" suddenly Mo Fan shouted hysterically.
Brother Chao frowned as his eardrums were attacked by Mo Fan's loud voice until he was unaware of the change from the core of the house.
The entire room rumbled, the mirror wall seemed to move again. After realizing what had happened, Brother Chao exclaimed,
"Young master!"
"Brother Chao!" two shadow warriors. They looked at Brother Chao worriedly as the walls of the mirror once, separating them.
This time, however, Brother Chao was separated from his comrades, leaving him alone with Mo Fan.
"Stop! Don'tdon't move! We will catch up with you, defend the core of the house from Mo Fan as much as possible," Zhi Yuefeng said.
Brother Chao just silently watched the mirror walls until the walls stopped moving.
Mo Fan, making use of the negligence shown by Brother Chao, approached him silently with the intention of reclaiming the core of the house from his hands.
Fortunately, Brother Chao immediately noticed the change in the air around him and managed to avoid Mo Fan's lunge.
"ACH! Damnit damnit! Return it!" mo Fan exclaimed as he continued to chase after Brother Chao.
Yet Mo Fan was as helpless as a baby before Brother Chao who was a mainstay shadow swordsman Zhi Yuefeng.
Mo Fan finally realized such a far-reaching difference then changed his approach towards Brother Chao.
"Only I can deactivate the core of the house, so give it back to me, huh? You want to deactivate it, don't you?" mo Fan said persuading Brother Chao with his delicate voice.
"Oh yeah? Ouch, Chief Mo. Do you remember that you rejected me?" brother Chao said smiling cynically. He still remembered the incident when his arm was almost puffed up.
"I also tried to persuade you but you just threw me away and almost made my arm stump" Brother Chao said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know what your intentions were. I'm afraid you have hidden intentions, better be careful, right?" mo Fan said.
"Ah, of course. I strongly agree with you," Brother Chao said, Mo Fan nodded in satisfaction but Brother Chao continued, saying,
"So I have to be careful of you too, right? Who knows, what your hidden intentions are,"
"..."
Mo Fan's face was red. His movements were increasingly crashing toward Brother Chao. Of course, none of them succeeded.
Before long, Zhi Yuefeng and his two shadow warriors arrived and Mo Fan was still trying to lung at Brother Chao.
Mo Fan looked even more worried and only thought about how to reclaim the core of the house or so unaware of the presence of Zhi Yuefeng and her two shadow warriors.
Tired of his failure to catch Brother Chao, Mo Fan stomped the floor like a child who was not given what he wanted by his mother.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME ANYMORE"
Suddenly Mo Fan's body expanded like a bloated fish, Mo Fan's two eyes widened. The incident was so fast that the last sight that Zhi Yuefeng saw before Mo Fan's body exploded were his two eyes full of fear.
DUARR
Crcsh. Raining blood and internal organs all over the room. It was fortunate that one of the shadow warriors in charge of activating the protection array still kept activating the array, so they were not exposed to the rain.
"..."
"I-this is.I didn't know it would be like this." Brother Chao said without continuing.
"Look! The core of the house is shining!" said one of the shadow warriors.
Sure enough, Zhi Yuefeng and Brother Chao saw the core of the house glow then followed the rumbling of the auction house, signaling the arrays were successfully deactivated.
"So, Mo Fan and the core of the house were interconnected. The core of the house could only be deactivated by Mo Fan. But if this core was far from Mo Fan's reach for just a moment, the core of the house would be deactivated? It's so strange" Brother Chao said.
"No it wasn't so, it seemed like there was a curse governing that if Mo Fan lost the core of the house, Mo Fan would die. After Mo Fan died, of course the core of the house was automatically deactivated.
The rule that only Mo Fan can deactivate the core of the house never changes" Zhi Yuefeng told his three shadow warriors.
"Now what, young master? Are we after Brother Bei?" ask one of the shadow warriors.
"Hmm, we should go back to the banquet room first. We rearrange the plan while thinking about the risks" said Zhi Yuefeng.
They did not have a copy of the map that Mu Haocun had drawn so naturally Zhi Yuefeng had to think of another plan. For the time being, Zhi Yuefeng thought it was better to wait than to hastily make up his mind.
...
"Ah Zhou's? Ah Zhe!"
Meng Zhi shook the body of the young man before her. His face was pale and his heartbeat felt extremely weak, making his body temperature even lower.
While he was finishing his role in the illusion, suddenly Meng Zhi was thrown and consciously was back in this room. Meng Zhi felt strange from hearing the noisy sounds.
Like two things rubbing against each other and the sound of something shaking. In addition, the whole room looks darker. Wait, Meng Zhi caught something very moving.
Brother Bei and co were standing not far from Meng Zhi and Ling Zizhou, while Jun Mo, was still seated and pensive. Not fully recovered.
Moreover, Meng Zhi saw the lines of the array patterns with them as the center. Meng Zhi realized that the two shadow warriors were unwilling to divulge their identity as the Xuanwu clan to Jun Mo, a stranger.
Therefore, both of them use conventional techniques that are often used by human Arrays, drawing patterns on the surface of the soil using special chalk.
Protection array? Protection from what? Upon closer inspection, Meng Zhi was able to see insect colonies that numbered in the hundreds.
Insects are like centipedes with the size of an adult's arm. They crawl on the surface of the invisible shield to cover the entire surface of the shield.
Seeing the situation was quite precarious, Meng Zhi also immediately approached Ling Zizhou who was unconscious.
"How is he doing?" ask Brother Bei.
His face looked calm despite coming out of an illusion. His partner is too. Both of them immediately regained consciousness once out of the illusion and saw the position of the mirrors changing again accompanied by a rumbling sound.
Seeing the centipede colony start to appear, Brother Bei and his partner also protect Meng Zhi and Ling Zizhou. Fortunately, Meng Zhi immediately regained her senses and started waking Ling Zizhou up.
"This boy is experiencing post-illusion symptoms, sorry to bother you, he really just experienced an illusion like this" said Meng Zhi. Brother Bei. nodded signaling that he did not feel any objection.
"Huf~, it's okay Mr. Zhi. Just look at me, you can only talk now," Jun Mo said in a jaded voice.
"Rest as long as I wake up my sister" said Meng Zhi. Jun Mo nodded.
Meng Zhi continued to call out Ling Zizhou while shaking her body. As long as the illusion was already destroyed, the critical period had already passed and waking Ling Zizhou would not risk his life, it would instead speed Ling Zizhou past the post illusion.
"Ukhs...Zhi-Zhi Ge?" said Ling Zizhou finally came to a realization as well. His eyes were trying to focus on the figure before him.
"Yes, it's me," said Meng Zhi soothingly.
"Zhi Ge!"
"Ah Zhou," Meng Zhi replied. Although Meng Zhi knew of himself being trapped in an illusion, it was still a very long time without the presence of Ling Zizhou, Mu Lian and the others.
How is his life in illusion? Meng Zhi's eyes flashed miserably, to be honest, she was completely relieved after seeing as well as feeling this Ling Zizhou who was right before her.
"Zhi Ge!"
"..."
Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi called each other for a while. Making both shadow warriors feel awkward. On the contrary, Jun Mo felt overwhelmed by the reunion of the brothers.
"Ahem! It seems like the array was indeed changed from the controller, so we all returned safely," Brother Bei said.
"really. I don't know what happened to Chairman Mo to suddenly change the array like this. We must remain vigilant as it does not know when the array will change," Jun Mo said.
Ling Zizhou, Meng Zhi and Jun Mo stood up to get ready.
"Oh," Ling Zizhou said after standing up and feeling his body extremely stiff. He immediately relaxed his joints using some of the movements Mu Lian had taught him.
Meng Zhi followed all the moves Ling Zizhou made, soon they would return to the fight so Meng Zhi needed to adapt to moving with her body back. The muscles in his body felt stiff.
"..." - ".(Jun Mo, Brother Bei and his partner)
"Ready?" said Meng Zhi. Everybody nodded.
The invisible shield was deactivated and a rain of centipedes ensued. Something that should make anyone shudder, but not Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi.
In fact, the faces of the two seemed to come back to life, compared to a moment ago, when they had just come out of an illusion. Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi looked like they had lost 10 years of their age.
"Haha! Disgusting insects! Here you!" shouted Ling Zizhou excitedly. His explosive energy was so strong that his sword started to look smoldering.
"Be careful Ah Zhou, it seems like these centipedes have poison," Meng Zhi said.
"No problem!" ling Zizhou said with a carefree tone. Rather than face the illusion again? Better to cut off the colony of centipedes!
"CRAK, CRAK, CRAK,"
The sound of a claw around the mouth of the centipede continued to sound, one of the centipedes managed to get very close to Ling Zizhou but was brutally mutilated by the flying swords.
Meng Zhi piloted up to a hundred swords and reached a wider area of attack than Ling Zizhou and Jun Mo's attack areas for having to protect Brother Bei and his comrades as well.
Meng Zhi stood upright while putting both of her hands behind her waist, a resting attitude that looked comfortable. Contrast with Ling Zizhou who had to move around very quickly.
Ling Zizhou looked like he was teleporting but Meng Zhi always mocked him like a flea and encouraged him to train even harder in order to reach the level of Master Yi.
Ling Zizhou was always annoyed to see Meng Zhi who could fight with that style. Annoying, very annoying!
"Oraa!" Ling Zizhou was getting excited like a person who had just been injected with insulin, or like a child who ate too much chocolate.
Ling Zizhou, Meng Zhi and Jun Mo played an active role in handling the centipedes making it easier for Brother Bei and colleagues to find the weak points of the array.
"We found it, we'll start the intervention" Brother Bei said. Ling Zizhou, Meng Zhi and Jun Mo followed wherever the two shadow warriors headed.
Suddenly, the whole room rumbled. Even the tremors felt all the way to the ground and finally stopped a while later.
"The array has been deactivated!" exclaim Brother Bei.
"out! We're heading for the exit!" said Meng Zhi. Everyone immediately ran towards the exit of the room.
The centipedes had also not arrived anymore because after defeating several tails, Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi did not see any new centipedes anymore.
They immediately ran towards the location as in the map regardless of the chasing centipedes in the back.
They did not know when the arrays within this auction house would reactivate, so as much as possible before that moment arrived, at least they arrived first at the location they were headed to.
While climbing the stairs, Jun Mo suddenly stopped because he saw a figure covered in blood. The man's hair was disheveled. His clothes were torn here and there.
"Brother Heng!" exclaiming Brother Bei and his partner approached the man who was still unmoved even though he had been summoned.
Ling Zizhou frowned because his nose was sensitive to negative odors. Ling Zizhou pulled the tip of Meng Zhi's clothes to tell him that but anyone who looked at it must have long since realized that something was wrong with Brother Heng.
"Brother Bei, wait!" said Meng Zhi.
