Chapter 376: Chapter 376

Lan Tian on the flying sword saw the red pattern, her pupils shrank, a trace of coldness flashed in the depths of her eyes, and a chill ran down from the soles of her feet straight into her mind.

The red pattern below was an Ancient Array, and in ancient times, Immortals, Gods, Divine Beasts, and Demons could intermarry, their offspring containing both bloodlines. With conflicting bloodlines unable to Cultivate, a powerful Cultivator developed this Array to purify the purity of the bloodline.

When one bloodline was stronger than the other, this Array could extract the weaker bloodline, leaving behind the stronger one, and it could also activate the potential within the bloodline, making the offspring’s Cultivation smoother. Newest update provıded by novｅlfire.net

After the great war between Gods and Demons in ancient times, this Array fell into the Cultivation World and became an Array used by Evil Cultivators and Demon Cultivators to enhance their Cultivation, often extracting the essence blood from hundreds of thousands of people in an entire city for Cultivation.

At this moment, Lan Tian couldn’t care to conceal her Cultivation; her flying sword rushed toward Old Mo and the others below, growing visibly to the eye, and in a blink, it became as large as a ship.

"Everyone, quickly get on," Lan shouted at the flying sword beneath her feet; she had to stop the Array first, but she needed to get Old Mo and the others to a safe place first.

Mo Junhua and Ji Feng saw Lan Tian coming down and were about to talk to her when they heard Lan Tian’s shout, immediately helping their respective elders onto the sword.

"Girl, what’s happened?" Mo Junhua helped Mr. Mo over, he had never seen Lan Tian so panicked before. Ji Feng also came over helping Old Ji.

"Let’s leave here first." Once Hua Peacock, Zhang Shenjing, and the others climbed on, Lan Tian controlled the sword to fly up into the sky, with the three major families also arriving behind.

"If you don’t want to die, get on quickly." Lan Tian shouted again; the Qian, Liu, and Chu families rushed over upon seeing everyone from the Ji Faction on the flying sword, which looked about to fly away; everyone ran desperately, wishing they had more legs.

In the void, the red-robed monk formed hand seals, activating and controlling the Array that made the crowd under its control, their eyes vacant like puppets. He glanced towards Lan Tian’s side, and he wouldn’t allow her to take people away, gesturing for Tian Yuying and her fellow sisters to enter the Array and stand at the positions he designated, channeling Spiritual Energy into the ground beneath their feet.

"Little girl, you’re not being good, where do you think you’re taking my people?" His palm stretched out towards Lan Tian and the others from afar, and suddenly a huge palm appeared in the sky, as large as a mountain, reaching for them.

It was over, everyone couldn’t help but close their eyes.

"Little Tao," Lan Tian raised her hand, and a pink light flew out from her wrist, rushing towards the palm in the sky. Taking this opportunity, Lan Tian led everyone on the sword to fly away from the red pattern Array, landing in an empty area letting everyone hurry down.

Ji Feng, Mo Junhua, and their group got down from the flying sword. The three families, Qian, Liu, and Chu, hesitated, feeling safer staying with the owner of the flying sword. Old Ji coldly eyed them; the three old masters from Qian, Liu, and Chu had simultaneously flustered and embarrassed expressions, hurriedly getting down. The direct descendants of the three families also followed, while most of the younger generation didn’t care so much, having been frightened by the red-robed monk.

Coldly glancing at the person who refused to descend from the flying sword, Lan Tian said nothing. With a flick of her hand, an Array Flag appeared in her palm. With a wave, the Array Flag transformed into beams of light, shooting into various directions, and vanished in a flash.

Lan Tian swiftly set up six or seven arrays, nested within each other, forming a chain of arrays. Glancing towards Little Tao, who was engaged in an indeterminate fight with the red-robed monk, their battle lit up half the night sky with loud "boom" and "bang" sounds, like fireworks.

Knowing Little Tao couldn’t hold out much longer, Lan Tian sped up the array formation. Looking at the top-grade spiritual stone in her hand, her heart ached tremendously before she stroked it a few times and inserted it into the Array Core to activate the array.

"Grandpa, get over here." Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she ushered Mr. Mo and the others into the array. At this point, everyone knew that to survive, they had to listen to her.

"Follow me, and don’t make a wrong step, or you’ll die in vain." Ji Feng and Mo Junhua, without delay, helped the elders into the array, following closely behind Lan Tian. The elders from the Qian, Liu, and Chu families hesitated for a moment, glanced at the people on the flying sword, and seeing the Ji Faction almost disappearing, they exchanged looks and hurried into the array.

"Take this, it will allow you to move freely within the array. Remember, do not step out of the array." Lan Tian took out four Peach Wood Array Keys and gave one to each: Ji Feng, Mo Junhua, Hua Kongque, and Zhang Shenjing.

With a flip of her hand, the flying sword outside the array shrank to its original size, flew into the array towards Lan Tian, who then flew up into the sky on it.

"Little Tao, come back." Hearing Lan Tian’s call, the defeated Little Tao transformed into a streak of light and merged into Lan Tian’s wrist.

"Senior, I respect you as a powerful cultivator, but I didn’t expect you to commit such a heinous act, refining mortal blood, violating the rules of the Cultivation World by attacking mortals." Lan Tian first chastised the red-robed monk, then earnestly persuaded, "There is still time to stop before this leads to a massive disaster, Senior."

Although Mo Junhua, Ji Feng, and others were within the array, they could still see and hear what was happening outside, sweating for Lan Tian.

Wow, grandma, that takes some guts. Are you really supposed to be advising him?

"Such a generous move is too wasteful on them." The red-robed monk, while fighting Little Tao, had spared a bit of his Divine Sense to watch Lan Tian, noticing the top-grade spiritual stone with a glint of greed in his eyes. Indeed, he thought, she must be a cultivator from a higher realm; a Foundation Establishment cultivator daring to carry a top-grade spiritual stone and still be lively and kicking around, heaven truly has no eyes. He gently stepped forward, arriving in front of Lan Tian.

Lan Tian’s gaze flickered, using the Shrinking Ground Technique. This person’s previous Cultivation must have been above the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Senior, I know you wish to leave this realm, and there are many ways to do so. Refining mortal blood to enhance your Cultivation, even if you reach the Nascent Soul Stage, the Heavenly Tribulation will not easily spare you. You should be well aware of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be better to find another way to leave." Lan Tian spoke persuasively, hoping to convince the red-robed monk to abandon the method of refining mortal blood. Knowing he wouldn’t easily agree as his meticulous plan had reached this desperate stage.

The red-robed monk nodded, appearing thoughtful.

"Senior, reaching this stage of Cultivation must not have been easy, having accrued so much karmic sin, your Dao Heart will certainly bear traces, making it difficult to advance further in your Cultivation, and easily giving the Heavenly Demon an opportunity." Lan Tian looked genuinely concerned, earnestly urging him to reform, indicating that there was still a chance to turn back, to don the Kasaya and surely receive the universal illumination of Buddha’s light.
