Chapter 0369: Getting the Big Array Under Control

Yuan Yanying arrived in Wuhuang through the Yunlong Mountains a long time ago.

Before leaving, she went to see Qin Yun.

"Where's the Lin Steel Tiger?" Qin Yun asked, ruffling Yuan Yanying's shoulder-length short hair with a smile.

"That guy is quite wild, so I kept him in the Yunlong Mountains!" Yuan Yanying said hurriedly, pulling Qin Yun into the bronze ancient building. She then said to Second Elder, "Elder, go ahead with your work!"

Second Elder, seeing how close Qin Yun and Yuan Yanying were, smiled reassuringly. "Yanying, make sure to show Xiao Yun around and help him get familiar with our Jiujue Xuan Sect!"

"Alright!" Yuan Yanying replied with a charming laugh.

After Second Elder finished arranging things for Qin Yun, he left in a hurry.

After seating Qin Yun, Yuan Yanying hurriedly brought over some fruit juice and poured him some.

"Brother Cloud, I really didn't expect that we would end up in the same sect!" Yuan Yanying said, sitting next to Qin Yun, resting her chin in her hand. Her beautiful eyes were wide as she watched him drink the juice.

Qin Yun took a sip and smiled. "It's very sweet and delicious! Did you make it yourself?"

A very pleased Yuan Yanying said, "Yes, I have plenty more of it!"

She then hurriedly brought out a large jug so Qin Yun could drink to his heart's content.

Qin Yun also packed two wooden buckets into his storage space for Mo Mo to taste.

These days, Yuan Yanying was lively, cheerful, strong, and brave, and she worked very hard, which was why she had been able to step into the Martial Realm.

At first, she was obsessed with vanity, but after some experiences, she awakened completely, realizing who truly cared for her and correcting her life outlook.

"Brother Cloud, you're really amazing, managing to get first place in the Xuan Ying Selection Conference! That means you're now at the second level of the Martial Realm, right?" Yuan Yanying said happily, her eyes full of admiration.

"Yanying, when did you step into the Martial Realm? You've worked very hard too!" Qin Yun said with a pleased smile.

"It was half a year ago! It was with the help of the Sect Leader and the Elders... By the way, strictly speaking, you shouldn't have chosen Jiujue Xuan Sect!" Yuan Yanying suddenly became puzzled.

Qin Yun recounted the events of the selection conference to Yuan Yanying, which amazed her.

"Causing so much trouble, I feel quite guilty, causing the Sect Leader to be seriously injured and making enemies of Jian Xuan Mountain for Jiujue Xuan Sect!" Qin Yun said with a guilty sigh.

Yuan Yanying said with a grin, "Don't worry! Disciples of Jiujue Xuan Sect often get bullied! Especially when the disciples are outside, even those from Spirit-grade sects look down on us disciples!"

"Now, because of you, the Sect Leader defeated two Xuan Martial realm experts, which is something the disciples of Jiujue Xuan Sect will brag about for many years."

"And they were Xuan Martial realm experts from Jian Xuan Mountain! That's also the sect we dislike the most! Because of all these incidents, you've earned the recognition of many Jiujue Xuan Sect disciples!"

"If that's the case, then I feel much better!" Qin Yun said with a smile.

Yuan Yanying asked about many events that happened in the Borderlands, and she was very curious about Xiao Yue Mei and Qin Zheng Feng's engagement.

Qin Yun recounted many significant events that happened in the Borderlands to Yuan Yanying, which left her incredulous.

"Brother Cloud, Yue Lan Jie is really amazing, managing to enter the Moon Xuan Valley. I also wanted to go, but they didn't think I was good enough!" Yuan Yanying said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, Jiujue Xuan Sect is also very good. The Sect Leader and the Elders treat the disciples well!"

Yuan Yanying nodded with a smile. "You joined the sect later than me, so you're my junior brother!" "Senior Sister, then I'll need you to take care of me in the future!" Qin Yun said with a hearty laugh.

Qin Yun also learned some things about Yuan Yanying. She was in charge of growing medicinal herbs and raising various spiritual birds here.

Yuan Yanying had a special ability that let her communicate with animals.

The spiritual birds she raised were used to gather information and search for various resources, making them extremely important.

At first, she had just crossed the Yunlong Mountains. Her cultivation was low, and she wandered alone through Wuhuang, facing many dangers.

Later, she met Wei Zhongzheng, who brought her to the Nine Extremes Xuan Sect, where she became a disciple.

Just as they were happily chatting, a sudden muffled rumbling sound was heard.

"Someone is attacking us!" Yuan Yanying's expression changed drastically as she quickly left the bronze ancient building.

The Nine Extremes Xuan Sect was also filled with the sound of ringing bells as many disciples gathered.

At that moment, Wei Zhongzheng's voice was heard: "Disciples, the Nine Extremes Xuan Sect is facing revenge from Jian Xuan Mountain. So, for a long time, we won't be able to leave the Nine Extremes Formation!"

"I am also seriously injured right now. I've killed two Xuan Martial realm warriors from Jian Xuan Mountain! They definitely won't let this go! But as long as we stay within the Nine Extremes Formation, they can't do anything to us!"

Many disciples immediately shouted in excitement.

"The sect master is incredible for taking down two Xuan Martial realm warriors from Jian Xuan Mountain!"

"Outside, the disciples of Jian Xuan Mountain are the most bullying, so this really gave us some relief!"

"It seems like it's been years since a Xuan Martial realm warrior was taken down like this, right?"

"Haha, the guys from Jian Xuan Mountain can only attack our formation in frustration!"

"I hope the sect master's injuries heal quickly!"

Although the disciples were worried about Wei Zhongzheng's injuries, they were also very excited.

Their sect master defeating two Xuan Martial realm warriors from Jian Xuan Mountain was something that could shake all of Wuhuang.

Soon after, another series of loud rumbles echoed.

The people from Jian Xuan Mountain were fiercely attacking the nine giant pillars outside the formation!

These nine pillars were the foundation of the Nine Extremes Formation. The defense of the Nine Extremes Formation was extremely strong and couldn't be easily breached.

As the elder mentioned before, it could withstand attacks from Martial Kings!

Qin Yun and Yuan Yanying, standing in the medicinal field, looked at the flashes of light in the distance and felt relieved.

"Yun Gege, just wait for a while, they will leave, don't worry!" Yuan Yanying smiled. "Come, let me show you around!"

Just as she finished speaking, a loud explosion resounded from afar!

The entire Nine Extremes Xuan Sect trembled for a moment!

Boom, boom, boom!

Following that, such loud noises kept coming!

The attack from Jian Xuan Mountain had become even more fierce.

Qin Yun frowned and said, "Something's wrong! There's a faint trace of energy coming in, and the great formation seems to have suddenly become much weaker!"

"Yanying, lead me to Elder Two quickly, do you know where he is?"

Yuan Yanying nodded and said, "Follow me!"

She soared through the air, guiding Qin Yun toward the massive array pillar to the south.

By this pillar, there was a large gate.

"Elder Two is inside! The place where the Nine Extinctions Great Array is maintained can be accessed from here. Usually, only the elders are allowed in; the disciples aren't!" Yuan Yanying explained.

As Qin Yun and Yuan Yanying were flying through the air, they could feel energy waves from outside. The Nine Extinctions Great Array was being bombarded and had already shown signs of instability.

What concerned him the most was that the defensive power of the array was continuously decreasing!

Qin Yun approached and knocked on the golden gate. "Elder Two, it's Qin Yun!"

The gate opened quickly, and Elder Two's voice called out from inside. "Come in and speak!"

Qin Yun and Yuan Yanying hurried inside, passing through a corridor into a massive circular hall. The walls were gold, engraved with complex runes.

Elder Two pressed his palms against the wall, sweating profusely, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin Yun, startled by the various dragon-like spiritual runes around him, asked, "Elder Two, is there a problem with the array? The defensive power is weakening!"

"Yes, some of the runes in the array are blocked while channeling energy. I'm trying to clear them!" Elder Two replied in surprise. "How did you know?"

Qin Yun quickly said, "I can help clear the blocked runes that channel energy. We need to hurry and clear all the blockages. If this continues, the energy won't be sufficient for the array's operation, and the defense will be broken!"

Elder Two was even more astonished, as Qin Yun was clearly an expert in formations. He quickly pointed to several places and said, "You can detect the energy-channeling runes from the locations marked with the sun symbol."

Yuan Yanying knew that Qin Yun was a Runes Master, but she was surprised he could maintain such a large array.

Qin Yun quickly went to the eastern side, where a sun symbol was engraved on the golden wall.

He placed his hands on it and channeled his spiritual energy, using the sun symbol to probe the energy-channeling runes in the array.

Closing his eyes, he could see numerous dense runes, twisted and intertwined like complex tree roots.

Soon, he found the blockage and released his Blood Soul Power, transmitting it through his spiritual pulse to clear the blockage.

After a short while, the entire array ran more smoothly, and the trembling gradually subsided.

The sweat-drenched Elder Two felt much relieved and looked at Qin Yun in surprise, asking, "Xiao Yun, I didn't expect you to be a Runes Master as well!"

Yuan Yanying smiled and said, "At sixteen, Yun Gege could already make talismans. He's a junior Rune Master!"

Elder Two exclaimed in surprise, "He's definitely not at the junior Rune Master level!"

Qin Yun smiled faintly, "I'm a senior Runes Master now. But I believe I can pass the test for junior Runes Spirit Master. I'll need to head to the Runes Hall to confirm."

Both Yuan Yanying and Elder Two exchanged disbelieving glances.

"Yun Gege, is this true? You're not even twenty and have reached the second level of martial arts, and you're also a senior Runes Master. This... this is astonishing!" Yuan Yanying said incredulously.

Elder Two also found it hard to believe, but seeing how proficient Qin Yun was in handling the runes, he had no choice but to accept it.

He happily smiled and said, "Wonderful! I'm finally not the only Runes Master in Nine Extinctions Sect!"

Being the only Runes Master in a high-level sect had been incredibly exhausting.

Nine Extinctions Sect gradually quieted down, the trembling ceased, and the defense of the Nine Extinctions Great Array grew stronger.

The chief elder suddenly walked in, frowning. "Second Brother! The condition of the leader is very serious. We need to go out and search for medicinal herbs to heal him; otherwise, he won't be able to recover!"
