Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 190 - 149: Scorched Earth Defense (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_2

Chapter 190: Chapter 149: Scorched Earth Defense (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_2

Now, even more of such a vast Martial Arts force must be conscripted to eliminate the Demon disaster.

"This Demon disaster is definitely not trivial, happening right at the border between our Sword State and Shu State. If we can’t clear the Demonic taint, it will surely threaten the safety of our Divine Sword Sect."

Supreme Elder Hou Shuwen said, "Execute my command, all Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters originally belonging to the Martial Arts Army of our Sect... must return to their posts... I shall command personally, with the assistance of Elder Qing Song and Elder Cang Yun. The rest... make preparations for the possibility of the Demon disaster spreading."

This time, the Divine Sword Sect had called upon the full extent of its resources.

...

During the formation setup, Li Qian also became aware of the major movements within the Divine Sword Sect.

A large number of Martial Artists from the Divine Sword Sect left, including many elders.

He guessed it must be related to the Demon Sacrifice.

"Sigh, truly a time of endless troubles."

Li Qian reflected in his heart.

The world now is becoming harder and harder to understand.

Fortunately, his Chen Bell has upgraded, now possessing the Chen Bell Domain for self-preservation... even sheltering the Divine Sword Sect should not be an issue.

In the blink of an eye, over ten days passed.

Li Qian had finally set up the Strategic Soldier Armor Maternal Array.

Next was the activation of the Great Array for testing.

Before the test, Li Qian notified Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu.

The Sect Leader immediately informed each peak and hall of the Divine Sword Sect.

Li Qian first went to the locations of the six Solid Array Piles, activating them one by one.

Next was the most crucial step, which was to connect the six Solid Array Piles with the Array Plate, integrating them as a whole in the flow of Primordial Qi to complete the entire Great Array setup.

This was extremely difficult.

Not far from the Divine Sword Hall, beneath one of the buildings, lay an underground palace.

It had become the control center for the entire Great Array.

That massive Great Array Plate was placed here.

With a wave of Li Qian’s hand, six Basic Array Plates flew out, orbiting the giant Array Plate above.

He needed to use the six smaller Basic Array Plates to complete resonance with the Great Array Plate, thereby activating the entire massive array.

The activation of the Great Array Plate went quite smoothly, starting to absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and operating.

However... the Great Array Plate was unable to establish a connection to the Array Formation with the six Solid Array Piles.

Mainly because the distance between them was too great.

Moreover, Li Qian’s level in formation art was quite limited, and the design of the Great Array was not perfect, so there could be misalignment between the Array Formation Fluctuation and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, preventing the resonance from being achieved.

Over the next few days, Li Qian made several adjustments, finally establishing a connection of Primordial Qi between the Great Array Plate and the six Solid Array Piles.

An invisible array field covered the entire Array area, enveloping most of the Divine Sword Sect in mystical fog.

"Li Qian, how can our people navigate within the Array under the cover of the formation?"

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu asked curiously.

"This will require the production of Armor Soldier Talismans."

Li Qian said, "I will have them made by Array Valley."

The production of Armor Soldier Talismans was not complicated, and although the level of the Array Masters in Array Valley was not high, manufacturing Armor Soldier Talismans was still feasible.

After all, they were idling and bored, and it would be a good task for them.

Next, Li Qian conducted various tests on the Strategic Soldier Armor Maternal Array to determine what needed to be adjusted.

After the testing, Li Qian shut down the Great Array.

Maintaining such a Great Array for an extended period would consume a lot of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, which could affect the concentration of Essence Qi within the Divine Sword Sect.

Most importantly, it would affect the daily activities and movement of the disciples.

The Array would only be activated when the Divine Sword Sect faced a crisis.

...

Huilong Mountain Range.

Although it was just a small mountain range, it stretched for tens of kilometers.

At this moment, this small mountain range had been completely transformed.

Enveloped in thick fog,

faint outlines of continuous buildings on top of the mountains could be discerned,

and ghostly wailing sounds emanated from within.

Around the outskirts of the mountain range, many forces from the Taiwu Dao Mansion had already gathered here.

Apart from numerous Heavenly Persons, there were also more than a dozen strong Martial Arts Armies.

These days, Taiwu Dao Mansion had clashed multiple times with the beasts within the Huilong Mountain Range. Due to the Great Array, they encountered setbacks in many attacks, resulting in significant losses.

In the main camp,

Daoist Master Yu Song sat at the chief position, with many Heavenly Persons below.

"I didn’t expect the Heavenly Poison Sect to be so well-prepared, choosing the Demon Sacrifice site to be a large Demon relic from the past with a complete Great Array... Father, this approach is not sustainable."

Said a black-bearded elder standing on the side.

Long-term siege without breaking the Great Array was not viable.

Daoist Master Yu Song’s expression was somber because the situation emerging in Taiwu Dao was similar to what was happening in the Yangwu Dao.

According to the information he received, another force of the Demon Race had taken a stance in Yangwu Dao, occupying a large region.

If they could not extinguish the source at the beginning, the situation would become unmanageable later on.

"Let’s implement a scorched earth policy then. Within five hundred li around the Huilong Mountain Range, evacuate all the towns, also establish Martial Arts Army garrison points, and siege the Huilong Mountain Range in the long term."

Daoist Master Yu Song suddenly spoke up.

Since it was impossible to break through the Huilong Mountain Range, they had to resort to the next best option.

He had previously attempted to enter the Great Array in the Huilong Mountain Range and clashed with that beast.

Because there had been issues during the Demon Sacrifice process, the beast’s demonic strength was roughly equivalent to that of a Lower Heaven Phenomenon Celestial. The most significant threat was actually from the higher-level Will of Myriad Phenomena.

However, he had Secret Talismans for divine protection, which could resist attacks from the Will of Myriad Phenomena.
