Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1140: The Renowned Mu Hanyan Arrives

"It’s highly unlikely," Tan Yu said incredulously. "Even though Tian Wenliang is an Array Master, his strength is not necessarily comparable to those array experts of the past. Even those predecessors couldn’t repair the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array, so how could he possess such strength?"

"If the aim is just to frame Brother Yu Zhe, there’s no need to repair the array. With his Sword Master First Rank strength, even if the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array recovers just one percent, or even one-thousandth of its power, it would be enough to wipe him out," Ling Baobao remarked.

This sounded somewhat dismissive of Jiang Yuzhe, but it was indeed a fact. Not even thousands of West Qin elites along with several Sword Saints could withstand the deadly might of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array. Given Jiang Yuzhe’s level of power, even one-thousandth of the array’s power would be enough to take his life.

Tan Yu and the others stopped speaking, their faces showing righteous indignation, clearly agreeing with Ling Baobao’s speculation.

"Let’s go, no matter what, we must first rescue Yu Zhe," Mu Hanyan did not waste any more time on guessing. Having understood the course of events, the most urgent task was to first get Jiang Yuzhe out of there.

As for whether he accidentally triggered a mechanism or Tian Wenliang deliberately framed him, those were concerns for later.

To be honest, she also suspected that Tian Wenliang was responsible, but she couldn’t be entirely sure. If she could confirm this, she would definitely not let him off.

Very soon, the group headed towards the Array Dao Hall.

Outside the Array Dao Hall, beyond the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array, hundreds of disciples gathered around. After Jiang Yuzhe’s accident and being trapped within the array, other disciples either worried or curious had not yet left.

Tian Wenliang also stood before the array, appearing worried, occasionally making a few hand gestures, seemingly trying to open the array.

No one noticed that his gaze occasionally inadvertently drifted into the distance, and his lips moved silently.

"Lord Tian, there shouldn’t be any glitches with that array, right?" Jiang Qiling stood behind a stone tablet ten zhang away from the Sky Sword Seven Sword Formation, with a cold smile, using Gathering Qi Transmission to speak to Tian Wenliang.

"Rest assured, miss. Although I, Tian Wenliang, do not have the ability to repair the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array, using the Seven Killings formation to set up this Small Heavenly Net Formation is no problem. No one will detect the subtlety," Tian Wenliang confidently replied using Gathering Qi Transmission.

The Array Dao Hall belongs to Tenglong Academy. Tian Wenliang follows the commands of Jiang Yunhe, hence he is particularly respectful toward Jiang Qiling.

As it turns out, Ling Baobao’s guess was spot on. Jiang Yuzhe being trapped in the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array was not an accident, nor was it because he triggered a mechanism. It was Tian Wenliang’s intentional entrapment.

"Thank you, Lord Tian. After this matter, I will certainly reward you and speak well of you to my father," Jiang Qiling said.

"Miss, you speak too highly. That Mu Hanyan knew about Qiu Ping’an’s cheating during the admissions selection, yet she didn’t speak up right away and waited until I and one surnamed Yu had a falling out before exposing it, obviously wanting to see us make a fool of ourselves. How could I swallow such indignation?

Originally, I didn’t intend to target the people around her, but I didn’t expect Mu Hanyan to be quite capable, even Nie Fangsheng couldn’t trouble her, so I had no choice but to go after Jiang Yuzhe," Tian Wenliang said with resentment.

Recalling the embarrassing incident during the admissions selection, he felt another wave of anger welling up.

"Mu Hanyan is coming; I should hide to avoid being implicated, so it doesn’t affect Lord Tian’s reputation," Jiang Qiling said upon seeing Mu Hanyan approaching from afar.

"Miss, you are indeed thorough. But you needn’t worry too much; even if he sees you, what can he do? Could he possibly see through my handiwork within the Heavenly Sword Seven Absolute Formation? Even if he suspects something, he has no proof. By then, wouldn’t he be like a dumb person eating bitter gourds, unable to express his bitterness?" Tian Wenliang said conceitedly.

"Lord Tian, never underestimate Mu Hanyan. Her natural talent in Sword Casting Technique astonishes even my father. You cannot take her lightly," Jiang Qiling advised.

"Alright, I understand." Hearing Jiang Yunhe mentioned, Tian Wenliang hesitated to argue further with her, though internally he remained dismissive.

Mu Hanyan’s talent in the art of sword casting is indeed astonishing. But no matter how talented, everyone has limits. To have heaven-defying talent in sword casting, to be rumored to excel in Beast Taming and Strange Beasts, and to possess Fifth Rank Sword Master cultivation, is enough to make many so-called geniuses feel like hanging themselves. If she also understood arrays, wouldn’t that just leave no path for others to live? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Jiang Qiling noticed he didn’t take her advice to heart but didn’t say more. In fact, she also doubted Mu Hanyan could detect Tian Wenliang’s tricks, not believing she had such extraordinary talent. Her figure flickered and vanished quietly.

"Mu Hanyan has arrived, Mu Hanyan has arrived!" As Mu Hanyan approached, the academy disciples gathered before the array stepped aside, making way for her.

Having been at Long Yan Academy for just two days, she first succeeded in a Beast Soul Hall trial, severely injuring Instructor Qiu in the process. Then, she faced Tutor Nie’s challenges without flinching, not only casting the Blood Gall Sword to deliver a serious blow to Nie Fangsheng, and obtaining the Trial Token in advance, but also winning over twenty million silver coins from Nie Fangsheng, who reportedly coughed up blood in anger on the spot. Now, aside from instructing disciples in sword casting, he spends most of his time in quiet recuperation.

Currently, Mu Hanyan’s reputation at Long Yan Academy is quite prominent, with her title as the Capital’s First Playboy now outshone by her newfound fame as Long Yan’s First Playboy.

"Why are you coming over here? Jiang Yuzhe accidentally triggered the mechanism, activating the array. This Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array is incredibly dangerous; unauthorized people must keep their distance," Tian Wenliang put on airs as a tutor, sternly chiding when he saw Mu Hanyan approaching.

"Instructor Tian, what’s the situation inside the array? Is Jiang Yuzhe in danger?" Mu Hanyan asked, slowing her pace.

She couldn’t yet be sure it was Tian Wenliang’s doing, so she refrained from getting angry.

"That’s hard to say. Although the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array has been in disrepair for ages, its power is tremendous. Even if only a small part is activated, its power is unimaginable. I’m afraid Jiang Yuzhe faces danger," Tian Wenliang feigned concern, yet there seemed to be a subtle undertone of glee.

"Then why are you just standing there and not hastily trying to save him?" Ling Baobao, already suspicious that it was Tian Wenliang who set up Jiang Yuzhe, grew angrier after detecting his schadenfreude, speaking furiously.

"Save him? You think it’s that easy? Haven’t you seen me trying to find a way? But this Heavenly Sword Seven Absolute Great Array is so intricately arranged, that our Long Yan Academy’s previous array experts couldn’t unravel its mysteries. How can I open the array or save someone in such a short time? I’m helpless too," Tian Wenliang said, looking helpless.

What did he mean by helpless? Seeing Tian Wenliang’s sanctimonious look, Mu Hanyan knew that even if there were a way, he certainly wouldn’t be willing to save Jiang Yuzhe from the array.

Realizing this, Mu Hanyan was too lazy to waste any more words with him and quickly walked towards the array.
