At that moment, within the room, a young man of about twenty stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His presence exuded an air of quiet authority.
Upon seeing the young man, the hall master, Mo Xuan, immediately bowed deeply and knelt, addressing him with deep respect: “Young master, the person has arrived.”
Upon hearing these words, the young man turned around, holding a paper fan in his hand. His features were strikingly handsome, with a gentle and refined countenance that immediately conveyed a sense of warmth and approachability.
“Very well,” he said with a smile. “Take me to see him.”
He continued, “Logically speaking, there should be no first-class spirit array master within the city of Liu Yue. This young man is truly extraordinary. When you recounted the events surrounding him yesterday, my curiosity was piqued. If he truly has the potential to be cultivated, our Dark Soul Hall can offer him protection.”
Master Mo Xuan, still bowing, replied with a smile, “If this young man can catch the young master’s eye, it would indeed be his great fortune.”
The Dark Soul Hall, which had established itself within the city of Liu Yue, naturally had a formidable background. This background was none other than the illustrious Dark Soul Hall, a mysterious and powerful force within the entire territory of the Qingyun Empire. Even the top-tier families in the capital, such as the Xiao and Qin clans, would not dare to offend them lightly.
The Dark Soul Hall was merely a branch of the Dark Soul Hall. The true location of the Dark Soul Hall’s headquarters remained unknown to all.
The young man before them, named Xu Qi Yuan, was the son of one of the hall masters of the Dark Soul Hall. He was also a spirit array master himself, with exceptional talent and a high status within the Dark Soul Hall. Even Master Mo Xuan, the head of the Dark Soul Hall, had to treat him with the utmost respect and deference.
Now, Mo Xuan led Xu Qi Yuan into the inner chamber of the Dark Soul Hall, stopping in front of a room from which they could observe everything happening inside the secret chamber.
At this moment, in the secret chamber, Ye Wushuang, accompanied by Mo Xiao, was once again beginning to condense spirit patterns and carve spirit arrays. Watching Ye Wushuang’s actions from the other room, Xu Qi Yuan’s expression gradually changed. It shifted from initial curiosity to growing astonishment, then to shock, and finally to a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Mo Xuan, who was not well-versed in the art of spirit arrays, could still easily discern the changes in Xu Qi Yuan’s demeanor. Could it be that Ye Wushuang was truly a genius in the field of spirit arrays?
“Wonderful!” Xu Qi Yuan exclaimed, gripping his paper fan tightly. “How could he possibly know all of this?”
His words seemed to be directed at Mo Xuan, but Mo Xuan had no answer.
At that moment, inside the secret chamber, Ye Wushuang spent half an hour completing the second spirit array and integrating it with the Yuanwu Five-Element Array. The two arrays resonated with each other and combined with the surrounding ordinary arrays. The entire Dark Soul Hall now felt entirely different.
“Done,” Ye Wushuang said, letting out a breath and wiping the sweat from his forehead. “I’ll come again tomorrow. By then, the third spirit array will be in place. Once the three arrays are merged, any martial artist below the fourth level of the Meridian Condensation Realm who dares to cause trouble here will surely meet their end.”
Mo Xiao smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Master Ye.”
“There’s no need to mention hard work,” Ye Wushuang replied. “I’m simply fulfilling my duty for the money I’ve been paid.”
As soon as Ye Wushuang finished speaking, two figures approached from outside the secret chamber.
“If I’m not mistaken, this second spirit array is a first-class spirit array known as the Minor Thunder Spirit Array. As far as I know, it requires at least one hundred and eighty spirit patterns to be combined and arranged. However, I just saw Master Ye use only one hundred and fifty patterns to create it,” the leading young man in a blue robe said, holding his paper fan.
“And not only that, but Master Ye was also able to integrate this array with the Yuanwu Five-Element Array. The Yuanwu Five-Element Array is a sealing array, while the Minor Thunder Spirit Array is an offensive one. Normally, it’s most appropriate to merge arrays of the same type. Merging arrays of different attributes is extremely risky; a slight mistake could lead to mutual cancellation and the failure of both arrays. I wonder how Master Ye managed to neutralize the two arrays?” he continued, unable to contain his curiosity.
Ye Wushuang looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s apparent displeasure, Hall Master Mo Xuan quickly laughed and said, “Young Master Ye, this is Xu Qi Yuan, also a spirit array master!”
Ye Wushuang, however, responded directly, “Hall Master Mo Xuan, like alchemists, weapon smiths, and array masters, we all have our own secrets, don’t we?”
Mo Xuan’s expression froze for a moment, and he felt a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
