Chapter 512 - 354: Intensive Education_2

But what exactly is hidden on the fifth floor of each Library Pavilion that makes them so interested?

And since Great Yu clearly knows that they will make a move at this time, why not prepare in advance? It wouldn’t be a problem to catch them off guard.

They merely gave Qin Ke a heads up.

There wasn’t even the slightest intention of sending experts.

Too strange!

"Ask Gu Yun, and be detailed about it."

"Okay!"

...

After Gu Pengyou left, Chen Xuan wasn’t in the mood to cultivate. Instead, he went alone to the garden in Qiuyuan.

He lay casually in the grass, squinting at the sky.

The sky was very blue!

But he was quite annoyed at the moment.

"What’s going on? All alone here."

Luan Ying leaned over and looked at him, with a faint smile on her face.

Chen Xuan patted the spot beside him.

She didn’t mind the dirt and lay down with him.

"How did you know I was here?"

Chen Xuan turned his head and asked.

"Husband, are you silly?"

Luan Ying pointed a finger at the sky, "Who in Moran City can hide from me?"

"Your bright spot is the brightest one!"

At this time, he would normally be cultivating, not in his room, and alone—definitely something was wrong.

That’s why she stopped cultivating and came here.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, he had forgotten about this.

The Array had always been under her control.

"By the way, you haven’t told me yet, what exactly happened?"

"Hmm..."

Luan Ying saw his hesitation and quickly added, "If you can’t say, then don’t!"

Saying this, she gently slid her jade-like finger from top to bottom along his cheek, "I just want to share your worries, Husband."

"Damn!"

Chen Xuan cursed in his heart.

Why does this little lady seem a bit manipulative?

If this was on Blue Star, she would be the textbook definition of a green tea girl.

Of course, he knew these were her true feelings.

But he thought that she should be more careful in the future, because as soon as a strong one comes to Moran City, she would be the first to notice.

So he told her the general situation.

"Alright, they won’t escape my grasp!"

With a determined expression, she clenched her small hand with confidence.

"I’ll leave it to you then!"

Chen Xuan patted her head; among the women at home, she was the one who helped him the most.

Of course, that didn’t mean the other two were useless.

Each had their own strengths, he thought.

...

The next day!

Chen Xuan arrived at the fifth floor of the Three Judicial Departments.

There were two stone pillars at the entrance, very peculiar.

"This is the Array that guards the fifth floor. It can only be opened when it’s weakest, using the seal of the Three Judicial Departments, plus some special measures."

"If you try to break the Array by force... the entire Library Pavilion will instantly turn to ashes."

Qin Ke explained from the side.

It was something Zong Peng specifically instructed him before leaving.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan nodded, then a flash of blue light shone in his eyes, revealing countless runes to him.

"This....."

His hair stood on end.

There were at least hundreds of thousands of runes, possibly the most complex Array he had ever seen.

Intricately interlocked.

The outer layer was a defense Array, the second layer was an attack Array.

There was yet another Array connecting the two.

If attacked, the attack Array would be immediately activated.

And its power was far from weak.

In his view, it would be hard for an ordinary Dao Realm to withstand it.

As for the third layer, it’s a self-destruct type of Array. If the first two layers are breached, it activates on its own.

Destroying the entire Library Pavilion.

Chen Xuan exhaled a long breath, what a precise setup, interconnected at every stage.

Even with his Telepathy, it wouldn’t be easy to take down this Array.

"In recent years, has any city’s Library Pavilion ever been destroyed?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"This disciple has checked, and no!"

"Those people probably aim to get into the fifth floor, so they wouldn’t destroy the Array."

Hearing his explanation, Chen Xuan was even more puzzled.

Hidden Kill is so strong; even Great Yu can’t take it down.

The strongest in the Three Judicial Departments is at the Dao Realm.

It should be easy for them to get in, right?

Why are there so many failed attempts?

It’s completely unexplainable.

"Alright, you go about your business, I’m heading back."

"Yes!"

As he watched Chen Xuan’s figure gradually fade away, envy appeared in Qin Ke’s eyes.

But—

"Sigh!"

He sighed longingly; with the Divine Techniques, he just couldn’t figure it out.

Such power, seen but not attainable, how frustrating that must be.

...

Half a month flew by.

Finally, there was a reply from Gu Yun.

In their room, Gu Pengyou handed Chen Xuan a personal letter from Gu Yun.

A long time later!

"Hidden Kill will only send those below the third level of Dao Realm to attack the Three Judicial Departments."

Chen Xuan’s expression was peculiar.

Why is that?

He even had a feeling that perhaps this was something mutually agreed upon by Great Yu and Hidden Kill?

But why would they do this!

He had some suspicions before, but after reading Gu Yun’s letter, he was utterly confused.

"Did Gu Yun have anything else to add?"

Chen Xuan asked Gu Pengyou.

"Second Uncle said he could come to Moran City if needed."

But she felt it was unnecessary.

After all, Chen Xuan’s strength was what it was, and even though Second Uncle was of the Dao Realm, he wouldn’t really measure up in front of him.

"Send my regards, just say thank you."

Though his capability fell short, his willingness touched Chen Xuan deeply.

"Alright!"

Gu Pengyou nodded, "Oh, and Second Uncle said that this time Your Majesty would grant a position as ruler of a province to one individual, and for the Gu Family it’s my elder brother, Gu Huan, so at that time..."

"Tell him I’ll take care of it."

A small matter, it’s no trouble to protect another.
