Under the guidance of True Person Tiangang, the simplified version of the Demon Sealing Array ahead did not trap Su Xi at all. In just two or three breaths, she had already broken through.
Outside the array, Su Xi felt a wave of dizziness, still unable to believe such an absurd thing had happened to her.
Although the Demon Sealing Array had been ruined by the passage of years, it shouldn't have been broken in this way.
When did arrays become breakable through such a crude method?
However, despite her curiosity, Su Xi knew that this was not the time to dwell on such questions.
Because True Person Tiangang beside her seemed very peculiar.
Since True Person Tiangang had taken her arm, his face had been expressionless for a long time. He was constantly fiddling with something on the ground, as if working on a task.
Moreover, his furrowed brow suggested he was encountering a difficult problem.
"Grand-disciple Ancestor, what is wrong?" Su Xi increasingly felt that she could not see through True Person Tiangang.
Hearing Su Xi's words, True Person Tiangang replied without looking up, "If the array is destroyed, those people will definitely know. So I am erasing traces of our presence."
There was one thing he did not say: if traces of them were discovered by others, the consequences would be endless.
Su Xi's face also became tense upon hearing True Person Tiangang's words, clearly having realized the same thing.
Su Xi knew how terrifying True Person Tiangang's cultivation was. However, those people had managed to seal True Person Tiangang's limbs, meaning their strength was not to be underestimated. In fact, they might not be weaker than True Person Tiangang.
Her and True Person Tiangang's rash intrusion had already left behind their auras.
For those great beings who could manipulate the world with a flip of their hands, a mere clue would be enough to find them easily. Once found, their death would be certain.
She was still so young and did not want to die so soon.
Moreover, she still had very important matters to attend to and absolutely could not die prematurely.
"Grand-disciple Ancestor, what do you need me to do?" Since True Person Tiangang was also helping her, Su Xi felt she should contribute.
True Person Tiangang stopped his movements and said with a hint of disdain, "Just stand by and don't let anyone disturb me. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, all our efforts will be in vain."
"Ah?" Hearing True Person Tiangang's words, Su Xi touched her nose helplessly and retreated to the side.
She now strongly suspected that True Person Tiangang found her strength too lacking and didn't want her help, only for her not to disturb him.
True Person Tiangang ignored Su Xi's thoughts and continued to focus on his preparations. Thus, Su Xi could only stand by idly with the Meteor God Sword in her hand, daring not to disturb him.
She understood that the more profound an array, the more complex it would be. A moment of carelessness could lead to significant errors. At that point, not only would their traces not be erased, but it could also lead to unknown consequences.
Therefore, for her own safety, Su Xi decisively chose not to disturb True Person Tiangang.
If she was to be looked down upon, then so be it.
While Su Xi was casually holding the Meteor God Sword and milling about.
True Person Tiangang, who had been busy with his head lowered, suddenly stopped his movements and called out, "Be careful."
"Careful?"
Su Xi muttered. Before she could ask what was happening, she suddenly felt a gust of wind approaching.
Without thinking, driven by her instinct for danger, Su Xi turned and dodged to the side.
Immediately after, a strong fluctuation sounded not far behind her, accompanied by a heart-stopping explosion. Following that came a powerful and malevolent aura.
"What is this?"
Looking at the shadowy figure before her, Su Xi expressed her complete confusion.
What was this thing that had appeared out of nowhere?
True Person Tiangang looked at the shadowy figure with a grave expression and said, "This is the Array Spirit, automatically generated by the array. This array has existed for who knows how many years, so the Array Spirit's strength must be considerable. Be careful, do not let it harm you."
Upon hearing True Person Tiangang's explanation, a few black lines appeared on Su Xi's forehead.
What was this supposed to be?
It was better not to explain, why did the explanation make her feel even worse?
With such a malevolent aura, it was evident that it was formed from countless souls, accumulating so much resentment. If she were to attack rashly, she might just become its sustenance.
True Person Tiangang pointed to the Meteor God Sword in Su Xi's hand and advised, "Although its cultivation is higher than yours, your weapon has a suppressing effect on it. I believe you can hold on for a while."
Hearing True Person Tiangang's words, tens of thousands of mythical beasts instantly appeared on Su Xi's forehead.
Thank you very much for your trust.
But could he offer her another way, rather than tormenting her like this?
Facing the Array Spirit, she truly had no confidence in handling it.
Despite her internal complaints, Su Xi knew she had to deal with the current situation. Otherwise, if the Array Spirit disturbed True Person Tiangang while he was setting up the array, she would truly regret it.
"Roar~"
The Array Spirit let out a wild roar and its figure, like a ghost, charged towards Su Xi.
It was formed from countless spirits and had no physical body, nor any fatal weaknesses. Therefore, it did not fear any harm.
It had already sensed the surging life force within Su Xi and knew that if it could devour Su Xi, it would evolve further.
Driven by its most primal desires, it was eager to swallow Su Xi.
It reached out and grabbed at the void, and then a black chain descended from the sky, coiling towards Su Xi.
The chain was covered in barbs, and upon closer inspection, it possessed countless skulls. Before it even landed, a ghostly wailing sound instantly emanated.
As the chain approached, Su Xi felt the air pressure drop drastically, and her breathing became somewhat difficult.
"Break!"
Su Xi knew that if she was entangled by the Array Spirit's restraint, she would be utterly destroyed.
So she raised the Meteor God Sword in her hand, intending to break through the confinement.
A string of flames erupted from the Meteor God Sword, instantly colliding with the approaching chains. After emitting sounds of ghostly wailing, the black chains shattered inch by inch.
"Eh!"
The Array Spirit was surprised that it had suffered a slight loss in its first encounter with Su Xi.
It moved its body and changed its combat strategy.
Since Su Xi's weapon was powerful, it naturally would not use its physical body to clash directly. Thus, it adopted a strategy of attrition, intending to wear Su Xi down.
Although the entire array had been damaged by True Person Tiangang, it was not completely destroyed, and it still had sufficient energy supply.
As the Array Spirit changed its approach, a swarm of small figures instantly charged towards Su Xi.
Each of these small figures was not very powerful, but their sheer numbers were overwhelming. Although Su Xi could dodge, True Person Tiangang, who was breaking the array behind her, made it impossible for her to evade.
Su Xi knew that this was an obvious trap set by the Array Spirit, leaving her with no choice but to confront it head-on.
Gritting her teeth, she mobilized the spiritual energy within her body and poured it madly into the Meteor God Sword. At the same time, an immense pressure descended upon the heavens and earth.
True Person Tiangang, who was in the process of setting up the array, couldn't help but look at Su Xi with a glint of admiration in his eyes.
His grand-disciple's ingenuity was truly remarkable, actually knowing how to use such a method.
