He estimated the distance between this place and the Divine Statue, with his eyesight, even operating his full True Yuan, he could only vaguely see a small black dot.
Therefore, the distance between each other must exceed fifty miles.
But seeing only the Divine Statue and not the dense fog, it was obviously amiss.
"How about sending a signal?" Chu Zhiyuan said.
Huang Zhengyang turned to look at him, "We carry Heart Protection Treasures, and still dare not approach?"
"If we don’t have to approach, then don’t." Chu Zhiyuan said seriously.
Huang Zhengyang pulled out a shiny silver tube from his sleeve, pointed it at the sky, and gently shook it with his True Yuan, a golden light shot out.
"Bang!"
The sound echoed through the Void.
The golden light shot straight up into the sky, rising several hundred ters before its montum ended.
In the air, it condensed into a small sword, the Sword standing upright, with its tip pointing towards where they were.
Chu Zhiyuan Insight observed from afar, eight middle-aged n were frowning, pondering the problem’s root.
The Array Device was fine, and they felt they themselves had no issues.
But after Operating, the Array wouldn’t form, futilely trying over a dozen tis.
In their sensitive state, they heard the sound from afar and all looked up at the golden small sword in the sky.
"Is it Huang Zhengyang?"
"Yes, it is."
"Quite the timing!" A thin middle-aged man sneered.
"Let’s go and have a look." A chubby, smiling middle-aged man said, "No matter how we try, we can’t form the Array, our luck is just too bad."
"Too strange."
"It’s probably related to that Divine Statue."
"But why could we form the Array before?"
...
They chatted as they put away their Array Devices, heading towards Huang Zhengyang’s group.
When they got close, they cupped their fists in salute.
Huang Zhengyang cupped his fist: "It’s been hard on you, gentlen."
He remained vigilant, secretly glancing at Chu Zhiyuan.
If these eight were all controlled by the Undying Evil Venerable, they might besiege them.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded lightly.
His hands had already ford a Seal.
The thin middle-aged man asked solemnly, "Director Huang, what brings you here?"
"No, no," Huang Zhengyang smiled, "I was watching from afar and saw the Array gone, and wondered why that was..."
"So small issue occurred, the Array unconsciously dissipated."
Huang Zhengyang asked, "Mr. Lu, once the Array begins operating, can it be easily ended?"
"If we stop operating and stopping it, the Array will end." The thin middle-aged man Lu Zhenhui said, "But we have been operating it."
"Problem with the Array Device?"
"No problem."
"Then..." Huang Zhengyang frowned: "External interference?"
"Director Huang, are you saying the Undying Evil Venerable?"
Huang Zhengyang said solemnly: "After all, you are closer."
"If he struck, we would not be unaware." Lu Zhenhui shook his head: "We have Protective Treasures."
"So, the Undying Evil Venerable didn’t make a move?" Huang Zhengyang said.
Lu Zhenhui nodded slowly: "We estimate, most likely not."
Huang Zhengyang looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Brother Chu?"
Chu Zhiyuan flipped his hands, changing the handprint.
A mass of yellow light suddenly spread from his palms, instantly transforming around, disappearing in a blink, incredibly fast.
"Pop, pop, pop, pop..."
Amidst a series of muffled sounds, all eight of them paused simultaneously, then shivered.
Then they widened their eyes, coldly staring at Chu Zhiyuan, with hands already raised.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "Apologies, the aura of the Undying Evil Venerable indeed taints all of the eight of you."
"Impossible!" they said in unison.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "How do you feel now?"
The previous Demon Suppressing Divine Tree aura combined with a touch of Power of rit.
Mixing the two increased the effect drastically, instantly dispelling the faint aura on them.
Though the faint aura was weak, it was extrely pure and refined, which the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree aura couldn’t remove.
Adding a bit of Power of rit, the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree aura rose a notch, like adding the finishing touch to a dragon.
This was also the inspiration he got from the Golden Sword.
The eight tributes frowned.
When the aura of the Undying Evil Venerable tainted them, it entered slowly, threading in strands, so they were unaware.
But when the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree aura swept through, washing away these accumulated auras, they suddenly felt the difference.
Their bodies and minds instantly beca incredibly clear, like soone who hadn’t bathed in a long ti, carefully scrubbing away gri, making their whole body three points lighter.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Please, engage the Array again."
"Then let’s try it."
The eight of them took their respective positions, operating their True Yuan on the Array Device.
Monts later, white mist gathered, began to spread, engulfing them, their figures blurred.
The mist quickly dispersed again, revealing their forms.
Huang Zhengyang smiled: "Mr. Lu, this ti it’s fine."
He thought for a mont, took out four golden Jade Pendants from his arms, and handed them to Lu Zhenhui: "These are God Suppressing and Heart Protecting objects personally crafted by Brother Chu."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Even a little effectiveness, adding another layer of protection, is good."
"Thanks." Lu Zhenhui reached to take them.
If it were before, he would have thought this couldn’t compare to the Heavenly Heart Divine Protection Pendant.
They had been free from the Undying Evil Venerable’s control thanks to the Heavenly Heart Divine Protection Pendant.
Now having seen Chu Zhiyuan’s thods, he dared not underestimate this Jade Pendant.
Huang Zhengyang said: "Crafting these Jade Pendants takes ti, Brother Chu can’t make many, so we just have to make do for now."
Lu Zhenhui said: "It’s fine, two can share one, right?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "As long as you’re touching it, it’ll work."
"That’s good then." Lu Zhenhui said: "Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "If it helps, that’s even better."
Huang Zhengyang said: "No need for formality with Brother Chu, we’re on the sa side. If it weren’t for Brother Chu’s warning this ti, it could’ve been disastrous,...that Undying Evil Venerable Divine Statue is extrely dangerous."
Lu Zhenhui and the others smiled.
Regarding Huang Zhengyang’s words, they all had reservations.
Whether Chu Zhiyuan was one of their own, and if not for his warning, it would have been disastrous.
They didn’t agree with either.
But because Chu Zhiyuan was present, they were too lazy to refute.
Chu Zhiyuan saw through their thoughts and sternly said: "Esteed seniors, this Undying Evil Venerable is different from before, very dangerous, be extrely careful."
"We’ve experienced the Undying Evil Venerable," Lu Zhenhui said: "Indeed very vicious, hard to defend against, but what makes this Undying Evil Venerable stronger this ti?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I don’t understand yet, and dare not try to understand."
"Mr. Chu, can’t you destroy the Divine Statue directly?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "This ti it’s different, I don’t dare to directly destroy the Divine Statue."
Lu Zhenhui said: "If we gather ten Ninth Rank Perfection martial experts and set an Array, protecting you Mr. Chu, can we destroy the Divine Statue?"
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a mont, still shook his head.
The remaining seven middle-aged n couldn’t help frowning.
They disliked the timidity and cowardice Chu Zhiyuan was displaying.
They felt he shouldn’t be so timid; no matter how strong the Undying Evil Venerable was, it couldn’t possibly kill him with so many top experts protecting him.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "Senior Lu, to the Undying Evil Venerable, more people are useless, just afraid it’ll use treacherous secret techniques, directly devouring these experts to swiftly strengthen itself, that would be more terrifying."
"Could it devour so many Ninth Rank Perfection experts in one go?" Lu Zhenhui shook his head: "No matter how strong it is, it can’t have such power."
Another round-faced elder chuckled: "The Undying Evil Venerable is strong, but upon descending to our Biyuan Heaven, it’s not in its strongest state, how could it kill Ninth Rank Perfection experts? At most, a stalemate!"
Ninth Rank Perfection is already the limit of power in this world.
No matter how strong the Undying Evil Venerable is, in this world, it can’t exhibit beyond this world’s limit.
So it couldn’t deal with over ten Ninth Rank Perfection experts.
Chu Zhiyuan was just scared out of his wits, that’s all.
Chu Zhiyuan saw their expressions clearly, sighed, and smiled, shaking his head.
Huang Zhengyang solemnly said: "Mr. Lu, do you think Brother Chu is timid? Brother Chu has personally destroyed dozens of Evil Venerable and Undying Evil Venerable statues, in dealing with them, no one is more experienced!"
"We are aware of Mr. Chu’s accomplishnts, but he is overly cautious, the Undying Evil Venerable is a Spiritual Attack type, the more you fear it, the stronger it becos." The round-faced middle-aged man smiled.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Esteed seniors, be extrely cautious, the Undying Evil Venerable, even if it dies, doesn’t lose its foundation, unlike us, once dead, we’re gone,...when near the Divine Statue, the Jade Pendant must not be away from your body."
"Alright, let’s continue setting the Array." Lu Zhenhui shook his head helplessly.
