Chapter 368: Chapter 368 Illusion Array [Fourth Update]
Cultivators at the Condensation Realm could quickly predict the landing spot of bullets based on the gunmen’s expressions and finger movements, and thus could dodge in advance.
However, against the combined attack of dozens or even hundreds of gunmen, their predictions were nothing but a joke.
Bullets poured down like a torrential downpour, with these Condensation Realm cultivators of middling cultivation levels constantly spraying blood from their bodies and letting out screams of agony.
Abstinence Realm cultivators could easily withstand bullets—the intensity of normal bullets was not a threat to them unless they were from a heavy sniper rifle, otherwise, it simply couldn’t breach their defenses.
In just over ten seconds, the bodies of more than thirty cultivators had been left behind, while the rest, by sheer luck, had escaped the calamity and leaped into the pit, instantly disappearing.
Cheng Dongliang’s face was terrifyingly gloomy; these bastards had actually dared to ignore him.
He represented not only himself but also the nation and the military.
“Snipers rotate, intercontinental pursuit missiles ready,” Cheng Dongliang was truly enraged, “the moment a cultivator emerges, lock on immediately.” No matter how powerful these cultivators were or what backgrounds they had, as soon as they appeared, they would be fired upon and killed without hesitation.
Perhaps the country had been too lenient with these cultivators, or perhaps the cultivators had been overly active recently, to the extent that these people no longer took the country seriously.
This was not a good sign, and Cheng Dongliang felt it necessary to give them a reality check.
Li Xiaoyao leaped down, his body free-falling, with the whistling of the wind in his ears, blasting against his face to the point where he could hardly open his eyes.
A layer of spiritual power wrapped around his body, keeping the fierce wind at bay; Li Xiaoyao thoroughly enjoyed this unfettered feeling.
Another gust of wind arose behind him—Li Xiaoyao knew that there must be cultivators who had followed him down.
He had sensed several powerful presences among the crowd earlier, presences so strong that even Li Xiaoyao was shocked by them.
Li Xiaoyao was not foolish enough to confront them head-on; he had other methods he could use.
For instance, formations.
With spiritual power coursing through his body, Li Xiaoyao accelerated his descent.
After a dozen seconds, Li Xiaoyao landed on the Spirit Stone Vein, looking at the bombed and pockmarked mine, and the scattered Spirit Stone harvesting machines, Li Xiaoyao felt somewhat angry.
Those Spirit Stone harvesting machines, costing him millions when added up, had been utterly destroyed by a few of Cheng Dongliang’s bombs.
Grabbing a few Spirit Stones from the ground, Li Xiaoyao held spell seals in his left hand while his right hand placed Spirit Stones in specific positions. After repeatedly setting down all the stones, he stood at the K’un position and quickly formed several hand seals, uttering loudly, “Form the array!”
With that command, a layer of energy rose from the Spirit Stones Li Xiaoyao had placed, as if the whole space slightly trembled at that moment.
Satisfied with his surroundings, Li Xiaoyao nodded, opened his System, and pondered for a moment.
Although this Spirit Stone Vein covered only a few kilometers, its yield was by no means small, enough for Li Xiaoyao to mine for several months continuously.
Of course, Li Xiaoyao could also buy hundreds of Spirit Stone harvesting machines and mine all the resources in a short time, but he did not do so.
Or rather, Li Xiaoyao did not dare to do so.
Since learning that Xiao Qing was sealed by Fahai here, he had not dared to tamper with this area.
Fahai’s action had dual meanings, one to seal Xiao Qing and the other to suppress the mysterious forces underground.
As to whether the suppression of that mysterious force was related to this Spirit Stone Vein, Li Xiaoyao was unclear, which was precisely why he dared not act rashly.
If his excessive mining of Spirit Stones provoked an upheaval of the mysterious force underground, the consequences were beyond anyone’s ability to bear.
Li Xiaoyao then set up several Illusion Arrays, confident that even a strong cultivator would be utterly disoriented under the multilevel Illusion Arrays he had set.
After completing these tasks, Li Xiaoyao left the purchased Spirit Stone harvesting machines in the midst of the Spirit Stone Vein and then walked towards the black coffin.
He had never observed this coffin up close, and now that he had the chance, he naturally would not miss it.
The material of the coffin was unknown; it felt very smooth and cold to the touch, instantly refreshing the mind as if it had a stimulating effect on the spirit.
It was just an empty coffin, nothing else.
Li Xiaoyao looked at the bottom of the coffin. Although he couldn’t see anything, he knew that beneath the coffin, a mysterious power was suppressed.
“Bang!”
A loud boom came, and Li Xiaoyao turned his head to see it was the Taoist priest Liu who had spoken earlier that had fallen down first.

“Bang!”
Another loud noise, and Elder Qi arrived as well.
Both of them stood within the spirit stone vein, their faces filled with confusion.
“What’s going on?”
“There’s nothing here?”
They talked to themselves, and although they were face to face, they couldn’t see each other.
This was the beauty of the Illusion Array. Once inside, even if you were face to face with someone, you wouldn’t be able to detect them. As for the surrounding spirit stone vein, they couldn’t see a single spirit stone either.
“How strange, how strange, clearly one can feel the dense spiritual energy here, but not a single spirit stone can be found. Truly bizarre.”
“Could it be? Is the spirit stone vein even deeper underground?”
As the two of them walked, they suddenly bumped into each other and almost immediately retreated backward.
“Who’s there!”
“Roar!”
In front of Elder Qi, a gargantuan green kirin serpent with its mouth wide open intimidated him.
And in the eyes of Taoist priest Liu, there was also an enormous green kirin serpent.
What was in their minds manifested through the Illusion Array.
Li Xiaoyao stood beside the coffin, silently watching their fight-or-flight behavior, not able to suppress a laugh, and feeling proud of the multiple illusion formations he had laid down.
Even though these two had cultivation levels several realms stronger than his, they were still completely manipulated by his deployment of the formations.
More and more cultivators descended from the sky. Li Xiaoyao, without looking back, flew upward, listening to the continual sounds of fighting and shouting below, and Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
As he neared the ground, Li Xiaoyao set a few more illusion arrays, this was to deal with Cheng Dongliang. Of course, if someone below wanted to escape and get through the illusion arrays, they would encounter unexpected surprises.
Having done all this, Li Xiaoyao’s body leaped and returned to the ground.
However, just as he had leapt out of the hole, dozens of scopes instantly targeted him.
“Fire!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
A series of muffled sniper rifle shots rang out, shattering the silence, as bullets surrounded Li Xiaoyao.
This kind of high-impact sniper rifle was so powerful that even a cultivator in the Abstinence Realm could be fatally shot if not careful.
The bullets spun out at high speed, but when they reached ten centimeters in front of Li Xiaoyao, they stopped as if frozen, as if time itself had stopped in that moment.
The snipers, looking through their scopes, saw, to their horror, the deformed bullets hanging motionless in mid-air, suspended as if time had come to a halt.
