Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 167 - 137: Riding the Eagle (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_2

Chapter 167: Chapter 137: Riding the Eagle (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_2

Liu Ming watched this scene with great envy, flying...

Unfortunately, he dared not ride it.

If he fell off, he wouldn’t die but would surely be severely injured.

Of course, the main reason was that Xiao Hei wouldn’t let him ride.

Li Qian rode Xiao Hei, skimming low across the sky.

Because he took a detour and did not enter the inner gate, he saw very few people.

After arriving at Array Valley, Li Qian patted Xiao Hei’s back; instantly, Xiao Hei let out a cry and dove down.

Finally, after circling a few times, it landed on the ground.

Li Qian jumped off Xiao Hei’s back.

"Senior Brother Li."

A servant disciple from the Array Valley hurriedly approached with a respectful voice.

"Where are Array Master Wang and the others?"

Li Qian asked.

"Array Master Wang and the others left a few days ago, saying that beast traces appeared in Mang Niu County, Taiping County..."

The servant disciple quickly replied.

"Beast traces appeared?"

Li Qian was incredibly surprised.

There had been no shortage of beast trace incidents these past two years... he had heard of them occasionally.

But why would beast traces require Array Master Wang and others?

Wait, Mang Niu County in Taiping County?

Why does this place name sound so familiar?

He couldn’t help but think of the Taiping Sacred Cave, isn’t it located beneath the ground of Mang Niu County in Taiping County?

Is the appearance of beast traces related to the Taiping Sacred Cave?

Under normal circumstances, this possibility was not great. The wolf demon had already turned into a dried corpse, purely a dead body without a speck of Qi Blood Energy, especially since he had taken the demon stone.

It’s just that people from the Moon Worship Sect had entered afterward, who knows what crazy actions these inhumane lunatics have done?

"The place was once the cradle of the Taiping Sect, there is indeed a relatively high probability of beast traces appearing."

Li Qian stroked his chin.

However, he didn’t pay too much attention, since Xiao Wendao the Heavenly Person had not come to find his other identity, it indicated that the problem was not serious.

So, he began to study those Solid Array Piles, adjusting the arrangement of the arrays...

...

Outside Mang Niu County.

The people from Prince Qi’s mansion had also arrived.

In addition to the two Heavenly People from Prince Qi’s mansion, there was also a Heavenly Person from the He Family.

Five Heavenly People had gathered here.

Prince Qi’s mansion had brought over Array Masters.

The Array Masters from Prince Qi’s mansion were originally from the Imperial Family... their mastery of Arrays naturally far surpassed those half-competent Array Masters from the Divine Sword Sect.

However... after he studied the Array covering Mang Niu County carefully, his expression turned solemn.

"This is the Divine Travel Armor Formation of the Taiping Sect, said to have come from the Ten Directions Array Solution of Lion Camel Ridge... This Array should involve six Array Foundations, something beyond our ability to decipher."

The Array Master from Prince Qi’s mansion said, "According to the records, as early as the founding period, all the Great Arrays within the bounds of Taiping County were supposed to have been cleared, how could there be any omissions here?"

"Can the Array Masters from the Imperial Family break this Array?"

Xiao Wendao asked curiously.

"A bit difficult... Six Array Foundations, at the very least, would require a high-ranking Array Master to possess the strength."

The Array Master from Prince Qi’s mansion shook his head.

"Then how were they broken before?"

Xiao Wendao asked in surprise.

"I’m not sure about that."

The Array Master shook his head.

His mastery of Arrays, at most, could break ordinary Array Foundations of three to four... especially Arrays involving other systems, making them even more difficult to decipher.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"Look... the mist over Mang Niu County seems to be dissipating?"

Others looked over immediately.

Indeed, the thick fog that had gathered in clumps seemed to have lost its confinement and began to spread out in all directions.

"I know now, this Array must have been ineffective a long time ago, but it was forcibly reactivated by someone without being fully repaired... This Array can’t be maintained for a very long time, it’s starting to collapse now."

The Array Master from Prince Qi’s mansion suddenly said excitedly, clapping his hands.

Over an hour later, most of the fog had dispersed, and Mang Niu County was once again exposed under the sunlight.

Several Heavenly People attempted to enter Mang Niu County.

Indeed, there were no traces of Arrays.

But, within Mang Niu County, there was complete dead silence.

Under the detection of the Heavenly People, each household had people who had died, and these people died in a particularly weird manner, with satisfied smiles on their faces, eventually turning into mummies.

A city full of bizarrely smiling dry corpses was spine-chilling.

"Damn it, that monster has already left."

One of the Heavenly People from Prince Qi’s mansion said with a dark face.

The entire Mang Niu County had already been surrounded by the Divine Sword Sect’s army and the people who came from Prince Qi’s mansion.

But until the Array collapsed, the monster had already vanished without a trace.

A monster lurking in the shadows is the most terrifying.

Who knows when this monster might reappear?

By that time, who knows how strong the monster will have become.

"This monster is quite a hassle."

Xiao Wendao let out a breath, his face very serious.

Mang Niu County, though not very large and just a small county town, had a population of ten to twenty thousand, and now they all had become dry corpses.

This was probably the largest loss of human lives since the appearance of beast traces.

Moreover, the monster had escaped and would undoubtedly brew greater terror in the future.

Just the thought of a powerful monster possibly lurking within the territory of the Divine Sword Sect made Xiao Wendao feel uneasy.

...

Array Valley.

When Li Qian returned here, Array Master Wang and the others had already come back.

"The monster escaped?"

He was a bit surprised.

"Yes, and moreover, the entire population of over ten thousand people in Mang Niu County turned into mummies, completely becoming a dead city. It’s really tragic."

Array Master Wang had a mournful expression.

In the face of such a terrifying monster, ordinary people truly didn’t have any power to resist, like lambs to the slaughter.
