Chapter 1223 1223: Alarm Array
"Next, we will split into two teams."Qin Feng said.
"How will we divide?"
Ni Chang asked.
"On one hand, during this time, we need to spread the news of Heavenly King Palace's arrival and Kunlun Sect joining the Heavenly King Palace, to recruit more people and prepare for the final battle with Holy Soul Hall."
"On the other hand, we need to gather intelligence on Holy Soul Hall. Knowing the enemy and knowing ourselves, we can win a hundred battles without danger!"
Qin Feng said.
Soon.
The groups were quickly divided.
Qin Feng, Xiao Wu, Baili Qiurong, and Poisonous Insect King White Ghost went to gather intelligence on Holy Soul Hall.
Xiao Wu has excellent Qinggong and movement technique, moving freely.
In the past, in dealing with Supreme Sect in Qinling, she used her exceptional movement technique to steal all the treasures from the Main Sect.
This was also the reason for bringing her to Kunlun.
Baili Qiurong has profound knowledge of Arrays.
Qin Feng wanted to bring her to understand what exactly was going on with Holy Soul Hall's Sacrificial Array.
The Poisonous Insect King White Ghost, though appearing to have low cultivation, does not have the same intimidating presence as a Ninth Grade Grandmaster and is not enough to gather other Kunlun Sects with deterrence and credibility.
Bringing him to Holy Soul Hall, on the contrary, his Gu Worms can gather a lot of information.
The remaining people were to gather small sects with Kunlun Sect.
Time was tight.
The two teams set out separately.
As Qin Feng and the others left, Ni Chang came over and said, "I'm somewhat familiar with the Ten Thousand Soul Mountain of Holy Soul Hall and want to be in charge of gathering information too."
"Cough, cough..."
Qin Feng cleared his throat and said, "I know you see that the four of us don't have high cultivation, and you're worried about us, so you want to follow, but now you're the leader of Kunlun. Without you, Kunlun Sect will lack some prestige."
Bam!
Ni Chang's eyes suddenly flared up with fire, angrily saying, "Who is worried about you? Delusional!!"
She turned to return to the other group immediately after speaking.
However, her stunning face was somewhat flushed for some reason...
The two groups split up.
Qin Feng and his group made their way towards the Holy Soul Hall.
Kunlun Mountain held perilous terrain. To save time, Qin Feng summoned the Divine Bird Fire Cloud and started the journey on its back.
The Fire Cloud Bird had unknowingly grown a lot recently.
Four people sitting on it was not crowded initially.
However.
The Poisonous Insect King White Ghost, out of respect for "Master," kept his distance from Xiao Wu and Baili Qiurong, sitting alone near the tail.
He left a decent gap between himself and Qin Feng's group to maintain distance.
Thus, Qin Feng's group was a bit crowded.
This made Qin Feng quite uncomfortable.
In front of him was Xiao Wu,
almost nestled in his arms.
Behind him was Baili Qiurong,
her entire body pressed against Qin Feng's back.
With a wolf at front and a tiger at back, it was both heartwarming and sorrowful.
Sorrowful because he felt yet could do nothing...
...
By evening, the four finally approached Ten Thousand Soul Mountain.
"Look, that's Ten Thousand Soul Mountain!"
Bathed in the blood-red sunset, Xiao Wu pointed to a peculiar mountain in the distance wrapped in the sunlight and said.
The reason for using "peculiar."
Was because even from afar, the mountain looked extraordinary.
Other high peaks in Kunlun Mountain often stood amidst pristine clouds, looking immersed in Immortal Energy.
But Ten Thousand Soul Mountain, shrouded with black mist!
The black aura, wisp by wisp, around Ten Thousand Soul Mountain seemed eerie and chilling.
The mountain was enormous!
A person on it was like an ant on a Heavenly Giant Tree.
Even so, worried about being discovered, the four camped discreetly at the foot of the mountain.
The sun set, and the full moon rose.
After a satisfying meal, Qin Feng's group decided to ascend the mountain tonight to see what the Holy Soul Hall was up to.
Of course.
It would be best if they could rescue the Empress directly.
The four started ascending the mountain.
Less than a hundred meters up, Baili Qiurong suddenly spoke: "Wait a minute!!"
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng asked, puzzled.
Baili Qiurong scanned around, frowning slightly, and said: "There's an alarm array on the mountain. Once triggered, they'll know someone has intruded."
"An alarm array?" Xiao Wu queried, suspiciously.
Baili Qiurong took out an Array Formation Pearl from her Qiankun Bag and forcefully threw it forward.
Bam!
A not-so-loud dull explosion sounded.
The entire Array Pearl turned into thick dark green smoke, dispersing around.
Soon.
Everywhere the smoke passed, Qin Feng and others noticed scattered, crisscrossed spiritual lines across the slope.
Once the spiritual lines were triggered.
This area would sound an alarm, or the array headquarters of Holy Soul Hall would also receive an alert of intrusion!
"Glad we brought you along."
Qin Feng smiled at Baili Qiurong.
If she hadn't come, they probably would have been chased off by Holy Soul Hall before even starting.
The four continued forward, carefully avoiding the spiritual lines.
As they proceeded.
Baili Qiurong's face grew serious, and she said: "Something still feels off."
"What do you mean?" Qin Feng asked.
"Haven't you noticed, the ground beneath us seems to pulse with some kind of energy? If I'm not mistaken, someone is setting up an array relying on the mountain's core."
Baili Qiurong said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng also frowned slightly, saying: "Could this be the Sacrificial Array of Holy Soul Hall?"
"I don't know; further investigation is needed," Baili Qiurong pondered and said, "If it is, that could be terrible. To use a gigantic mountain as the foundation for an array, the power would be unimaginable!"
"How long will it take you to understand the array structure of this mountain?"
Qin Feng asked, his expression growing serious.
"This mountain is vast, and the internal array is extremely complex. Even if I go all out, it would take a month to fully investigate." Baili Qiurong said.
Qin Feng thought for a moment and looked at the Poisonous Insect King White Ghost, saying: "Can you help with this?"
One month is too late.
The Sacrificial Array would be finished; the speed must be increased.
"Yes, I can."
The Poisonous Insect King White Ghost said.
He spoke as he took out a box.
Opening the box revealed a swarm of hair-fine Gu Worms, which at his will, dispersed around.
In no time.
As the Gu Worms returned one after another, he drew the information the Gu Worms conveyed to him on a piece of paper, showing it to Baili Qiurong in the end.
Upon seeing it, Baili Qiurong exclaimed in amazement: "Incredible! I didn't expect your Gu Worms to have such abilities, to locate all the spiritual lines within a hundred meters! With the help of the Gu Worms, give me three days to study this mountain!"
"Alright, you two will form a team and focus on studying the array here." Qin Feng instructed, "Remember, no matter what, safety comes first."
"Yes."
The Poisonous Insect King White Ghost replied.
Qin Feng didn't have to worry too much about safety, as White Ghost's Gu Worms could detect danger early.
Then.
Qin Feng and Xiao Wu teamed up, carrying Baili Qiurong's Array Formation Pearl, to continue forward.
Just then.
They suddenly overheard two people speaking ahead on the slope.
They were members of Holy Soul Hall!
