Chapter 190: Chapter 190: The Orbit’s Movement, the Lotus Heart Butterfly Fragrance

Weiyuan Immortal City.

A tavern in the outer city, closed for rectification.

Countless blockade lines and the stern, imposing Law Enforcement Team had cordoned off the entire area around the tavern.

Near the tavern.

Bai Xiuying, cool and elegant in a set of fitted white robes, oversaw the entire operation.

Array Masters arranged Array Plates, constructing the Orbit.

"Orbit parameters are normal..."

"The Array’s Spiritual Power conduits are normal. Spiritual Power supply is stable..."

"The Orbit is about to activate. All non-combat personnel, please withdraw in an orderly fashion."

WHOOSH.

The air howled as it converged on the Orbit.

A vortex-like spatial passage slowly opened in the void.

Through the passage, a scene from the Reverse World appeared.

Hundreds, even thousands of Secondary Formless Demons stared in astonishment at the suddenly opened spatial passage.

After a moment of stunned silence, the craving for fresh flesh and blood sent them roaring toward the passage like zombies unleashed from a cage!

SHHNK!

A Secondary Formless Demon crossed through the passage.

But its figure did not become formless and insubstantial as usual, turning into a phantom.

Instead, the sunlight of the current world pierced through its pale, shriveled body, illuminating its translucent ribs!

"Wretched demons and evil spirits, reveal your forms!"

"Nine Luminaries True Yang Array, activate!"

Around the tavern, the Array’s restrictive seals appeared!

Suddenly, nine brilliant suns rose, and the energy of their solar flares converged!

FWOOSH!

The Nine Luminaries True Flame swept through, turning the area within the Array into a sea of fire!

The first Secondary Formless Demon to charge out of the passage was incinerated into grayish-white powder by the Nine Luminaries True Flame without so much as a whimper!

The Formless Demons followed one after another, lining up to be cremated.

Before long, a thick layer of grayish-white powder covered the ground.

The extreme heat caused their ashes to seep into the cracks between the paving stones, making them impossible to dig out.

"Hiss... As expected of the Nine Luminaries True Flame Array, the most unyielding and purely yang of all second-tier Arrays, a perfect counter to yin and evil."

"This Array’s only weaknesses are its somewhat small range and its cumbersomeness."

"But that doesn’t matter. After the monsters rush out of the passage, they fall directly into the Array’s ’Death Sect,’ where the power they endure is multiplied..."

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators commented.

’It works... The plan is effective!’

A small smile graced Bai Xiuying’s face.

By relying on a ’manifestation’ Array to make the monsters from the Reverse World reveal their forms, they could then obliterate them with another Array!

Compared to before, wasn’t this method more than ten times as efficient and safe?

Faced with the trap meticulously arranged by the Immortal City, even the node’s leader monster only lasted for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea before being refined into ashes!

Node sixteen, cleared!

’It seems... even if Mr. Su is cultivating his Secret Technique and has no time to come and stand guard, it won’t be a big problem...’

’It’s just a bit of a shame... If Mr. Su were here, these merit points would be a freebie. He could have exchanged them for a few more Spiritual Objects...’

Bai Xiuying muttered to herself.

But a moment later, her elegant brows furrowed slightly. Something felt off.

’No... Isn’t it a good thing for the Immortal City that he isn’t here, saving us a few Spiritual Objects?’

’Why... would I want him to come?’

A hint of vexation appeared on Bai Xiuying’s cool face.

At the same time, as the Orbit continued to run, the sky above Weiyuan Immortal City seemed to dim slightly.

Zhong Qi’s face was haggard, his dark circles heavy and shot with blood.

His expression revealed a struggle as he screamed inwardly.

’No... Hurry up, shut down the Orbit...’

But his body, as if betraying him, remained motionless.

"Mr. Zhong, are you all right? You don’t look like you’ve rested well... Don’t overexert yourself."

A female Array Master with freckles and an average face but a curvy figure spoke with a hint of concern.

Zhong Qi lowered his head and was silent for a long moment before looking up to speak.

"I’m fine..."

"Why don’t you go back and rest for a bit? We’ve already learned how to operate this Orbit."

"It’s fine... It will all be over soon," Zhong Qi said.

"Mm... I suppose so. At this rate, the nodes should be completely cleared by tomorrow at the latest."

The female Array Master nodded.

"Yes... It will all be over soon," Zhong Qi nodded.

...

Within the Immortal City.

’What’s going on...’

Dressed in a pink skirt, the bright and charming He Muyun frowned as she gazed at the sky.

For some reason, whenever she stared at the sky, a strange feeling would rise in her heart.

It was as if a great disaster was about to befall them!

This spiritual warning made her extremely uncomfortable.

’Something’s wrong. Something is very wrong with Weiyuan Immortal City right now...’ He Muyun frowned.

Her worries were not unfounded.

After all, over a month ago, she had sent a message to her sect requesting reinforcements.

With a third-tier Demon Pill and Weiyuan Immortal City at stake, there was no way the sect should have remained indifferent...

By He Muyun’s estimation, a Core Formation Master from her sect should have already arrived on the outskirts of the Immortal City and contacted her by now...

But now, there was complete silence!

This made He Muyun extremely uneasy.

Inside the living room of her loft.

He Muyun paced back and forth for a long time before her expression finally turned serious and she took a deep breath.

She set up an Array with restrictive seals to isolate the area from the outside world, then solemnly retrieved three sticks of incense from her Storage Ring.

Bathing, changing clothes, focusing her mind, burning incense!

Wisps of white smoke rose and swirled.

After several dozen breaths, the smoke gathered into the shape of a small, exquisite, and rather elegant butterfly.

He Muyun pushed open the window, and the butterfly shadow fluttered its wings and flew outside.

’It’s done.’

This incense was called ’Lotus Heart Butterfly Fragrance’ and was quite miraculous.

When burning it, a cultivator had to nourish it with their own thoughts and will for it to manifest as a ’Lotus Heart Butterfly’.

According to legend, this ’Lotus Heart Butterfly’ could capture a wisp of the world’s machinations and, combined with the cultivator’s offered intentions, point the way for a cultivator lost in confusion!

It was equivalent to performing a divination based on the cultivator’s offered intentions.

The results of this type of divination were fleeting and rather uncertain.

It was a far cry from a cultivator who specialized in the art of divination.

However, cultivators who specialized in divination were extremely rare. Furthermore, divining cause and effect and prying into heavenly secrets was detrimental to one’s lifespan.

Cultivators seek longevity, so who would be willing to do that?

Therefore, the Lotus Heart Butterfly Fragrance was extremely precious.

Even with He Muyun’s status, she had only obtained this Lotus Heart Butterfly Fragrance through a fortunate encounter while exploring the Outer Sea.

’I hope it brings me good luck...’

He Muyun thought.

She formed a hand seal for a Technique to conceal her figure and followed the ’Lotus Heart Butterfly’, moving across the rooftops.

The Lotus Heart Butterfly flapped its wings, seeming to move slowly but actually flying fast. It flew for over ten li before descending into a small alley.

’Here?’

Doubt rose in He Muyun’s heart.

She retracted her Escape Light, landed on solid ground, and walked into the alley.

There, she saw a handsome and cold young man in fitted black robes standing before a wooden door in the alley, seemingly about to knock.

The Lotus Heart Butterfly, formed from smoke, landed on his fingertip, its wings twitching slightly.

The black-robed young man raised his hand, his fingertip moving slightly as he examined the art-like Lotus Heart Butterfly.

"You?"

He Muyun’s eyes widened in surprise, and the word slipped out.

"Oh? It seems this fellow Daoist knows me?"

Su Ye’s eyes flickered, and he spoke nonchalantly.
