Chapter 656: Chapter 656 - 650: In the Sky-piercing Array, there is something you want

"The Array of Heaven contains what you desire."

"What I desire? What is it?"

Xiaosuisui was confused!

Old Island Master Yun smiled faintly, stroking the beard on his chin. He didn’t enlighten her but took her small hand, walking step by step toward the seaside.

At this time, the sea was shrouded in a vast white mist, and this white mist, in turn, seemed to teem with countless illusions.

She saw the white mist sometimes glow, sometimes take shape, and sometimes vanish without a trace.

Both the Emperor and the National Master were astounded.

"Is this... the Array of Heaven?"

The National Master whispered, his heart pounding with anticipation.

His hands were already itching with excitement.

"Correct. This is indeed the Array of Heaven, something our Yun Family has guarded since the time of our ancestors."

"Once this array is activated, it must succeed; failure is not an option."

The moment Old Island Master Yun finished speaking, Xie Pan’Er, the National Master, and the Emperor all asked in unison,

"What happens if it fails?"

"If it fails, Yunzhou Island will sink to the bottom of the sea."

"What? That dangerous? Then why activate the Array of Heaven?"

Xie Pan’Er was so frightened she trembled uncontrollably.

The Emperor couldn’t help but comfort her.

"Don’t be afraid! It’s Suisui!"

Xie Pan’Er felt somewhat reassured.

The National Master narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly began to count on his fingers. Then, his expression changed drastically, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips.

The Emperor’s face turned pale.

"National Master! What... what’s wrong with you?"

Without answering, the National Master sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

On the summit of a cloud-piercing mountain, Ji Youzhi watched the entrance to the array, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

Yun Cang stood beside him and asked, "Aren’t you going to ask if there’s any danger inside this array?"

Ji Youzhi turned his head, a faint smile on his lips. "Didn’t you say Xiaosuisui is also entering this Array of Heaven?"

Yun Cang nodded. "That’s correct."

Ji Youzhi appeared completely at ease and said confidently,

"Then what’s there to ask? Venturing into the array with Xiaosuisui, it’s bound to be foolproof!"

Yun Cang frowned slightly as he looked at him. "Do you have that much confidence in Xiaosuisui? Or are you perhaps mistaken about your own strength?"

Ji Youzhi didn’t answer. He strode toward the entrance of the array, waving to Yun Cang over his shoulder.

"Uncle, go back and wait for news with peace of mind! We’ll come out safely!"

"Hey! You..."

Yun Cang raised his hand, about to speak, but Ji Youzhi had already stepped into the array.

Is this kid an idiot? He went in without even listening to the rules. Doesn’t he know how incredibly perilous it is inside? If they succeed, this world will connect to Heaven and Earth, but in the end, they’ll face a life-or-death struggle.

Yun Cang sighed helplessly. Then, with a surge of Qi, he descended the mountain, quickly landing beside the white-haired Old Island Master Yun.

"Fa... Father..."

Yun Cang called out softly. Old Island Master Yun gestured for silence and turned to ask him,

"Did you tell him how formidable this array is?"

"I didn’t have time. He went in before I could say anything."

Old Island Master Yun shook his head and chuckled. Truly uncle and niece. That girl jumped right in merely upon hearing there was something she wanted inside.

"You mean Xiaosuisui doesn’t know anything either?"

Yun Cang was aghast!

"I assumed you had told her seventh maternal uncle everything last night!"

Yun Cang then said, "And I assumed you would have told that girl everything before activating the Array of Heaven!"

"You didn’t say anything?"

Old Island Master Yun looked utterly astonished.

"I was pressed for time helping him reach the next level!" Yun Cang exclaimed, looking quite helpless.

"I transferred all my power to that girl; I had no extra time either!"

Hearing this exchange between father and son, the Emperor, Xie Pan’Er, and Princess Ata couldn’t help the corners of their mouths from twitching.

So they really are father and son!

"Sirs! What should be done now?"

The Emperor clenched the folding fan in his hand. He had never encountered such an eccentric father-son duo before!

"You are the Emperor and carry the fate of a nation. If you remain here, perhaps the Celestial Dao will favor the two children inside the array."

"However, as the ruler of a nation, if anything were to happen to you on Yunzhou Island, the world would undoubtedly descend into chaos. I will immediately have my men open a sea passage for you all to leave!"

"You... you’ve known my identity all along!"

The Emperor’s face turned ashen.

Princess Ata covertly assumed a defensive stance.

The National Master slowly opened his eyes.
