Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 519 Can't Figure it Out _2

Among the crowd, some agreed and others were scornful.

It was Young Master Yun who earnestly nodded in agreement.

The white-haired elder continued, "The real question now is, where on earth did that person go?"

Everyone looked at each other, their brows furrowed in deep thought.

Someone asked, "Is there any trace of that person in South Yue City?"

"No... at least, I haven't found anything."

"We haven't found any clues either..."

"Not a single trace..."

"It's as if no cultivator in the entire South Yue City has ever seen that person's face or knows his whereabouts..."

"So, has he really been here or not?"

"It seems like he hasn't."

"If he hasn't come, how did he know about the Corpse Mine?"

"You wouldn't think that he can only know about these things by coming here in person, by seeing with his own eyes, do you? You're seriously underestimating him..."

Quite a few cultivators nodded silently.

A cultivator said, "I'm just wondering, could all this be within that person's calculations?"

"Including the mutation of the Corpse King, the battle to suppress the Corpse Mine, Lu Chengyun's scheme, and that Junior Formation Master who made the Corpse King submit; could his every move be within that person's calculations?"

"If that's really the case, it's terrifying..."

"If so, we might never see that person in our entire lives."

"Be content, even Heaven Shu Pavilion has been searching for hundreds of years without finding a trace of that person. Now that we're gathered here, experiencing all of this, it's already the closest we've ever been to him."

"His schemes are too deep..."

"Indeed..."

"Speaking of which, that Junior Formation Master is no ordinary person either."

"Yes..."

"Such a powerful Junior Formation Master, I wonder where he comes from..."

The crowd marveled in amazement.

"Speaking of the Junior Formation Master..." someone pondered with a frown, "... isn't there also a Junior Formation Master in Tongxian City who set up a Large Formation and executed the Big Demon Feng Xi?"

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Someone said seriously, "Would you rather believe that story instead of believing that I am the reincarnation of a Taoist master?"

"Reincarnate my ass, do you think you're worthy?"

"You dare curse me?"

"So, about the Junior Formation Master setting up a Large Formation, what do you think a Large Formation is?"

"Indeed, a Large Formation is no trifling matter."

A cultivator frowned and said, "But... I've heard an elder from Heaven Shu Pavilion say that in Tongxian City, within the domain of Black Mountain State at Second Grade, indeed a Big Demon emerged, and indeed someone set up a Large Formation, which subdued the Big Demon..."

"Isn't it obvious? The cause and effect of that person surfaced in Tongxian City. So, it's not just about a Junior Formation Master setting up a Large Formation to kill the Big Demon, it's that person working behind the scenes..."

He suddenly stopped talking midway.

Everyone present also realized something was off; after pondering for a moment, their faces turned pale.

In Tongxian City, that person was behind everything...

The happenings in South Yue City were also instigated by that person...

There is a Junior Formation Master in Tongxian City, as well as in South Yue City...

An astonishing suspicion emerged in everyone's mind:

Could this Junior Formation Master be... that Junior Formation Master...

If that's the case, then the person behind this Junior Formation Master... could it be the person they were looking for?!

What is their relationship?

A middle-aged cultivator swallowed hard and said tentatively:

"Could it be... that this Junior Formation Master has a teacher?"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

A teacher?!

Is this Junior Formation Master, the disciple of that person?!

What do you mean no clues?

What do you mean no traces?

That person's disciple brazenly appeared in front of them all, joined them in suppressing the Corpse King, quelled the corpse calamity, and even chatted and dined with them.

Before leaving, they even bid him farewell??

The cultivators on site struggled to accept this reality.

After a while, someone finally said:

"Could it be that Mr. Zhuang has been in the city all the time?"

"You should call him 'that person,' not Mr. Zhuang, otherwise he'll know."

"By calling him that way, he won't know?"

The crowd fell silent, and then they all sighed.

Let it be, Mr. Zhuang it is.

Them calling "that person" is just like deceiving themselves by covering their ears while stealing bells...

"Do you remember when the young gentleman left South Yue City in a carriage pulled by that big white horse, was Mr. Zhuang... could he have been in the carriage..."

These words were better left unsaid.

Once spoken, everyone's hearts were filled with bitterness and profound regret.

Your journey continues with empire

The person they were looking for was right before their eyes, who left in front of them in a carriage.

And they bid him farewell without knowing anything.

One cultivator was incredulous, "Impossible, it can't be such a coincidence."

Yet the gaunt elder shook his head, "With Qi Refinement cultivation, able to draw a First Grade Ultimate Formation, aside from Mr. Zhuang, no one else can teach such a disciple."

Young Master Yun's expression also carried a touch of emotion.

"Besides," the gaunt elder continued, "this young gentleman also has a pair of siblings with the surname Bai as fellow disciples."

"These two young cultivators have astonishing talent, yet they are inscrutable."

"The girl is fierce and dignified, unassuming, but certainly not simple. As for the young boy..."

The gaunt elder's gaze filled with deep wariness, "The Taoist Skill he uses is the Returning Dragon Spear!"

"The method of the dragon, the Bai Family from Qian State, I suppose I don't need to say much, you all should understand what that implies..."

The hearts of everyone present trembled.

The Bai Family from Qian State, that's truly a behemoth...

"But what does the Bai Family have to do with that person?" a cultivator asked.

The gaunt elder sighed, "Indeed, there are some connections between the Bai Family and Mr. Zhuang, but we'd best not inquire about it. The Bai Family is not something we can afford to provoke."
