These two bastards actually dared to call my obedient little wife a disaster?
Not a chance!
Hmm, it’s decided. After I finish questioning them, I’ll pull out the needles, no matter what they say.
Xu Ping’an rubbed his chin, watching the backs of the two.
At this moment, the two of them didn’t dare to move at all, standing there like a pair of statues, stiff and motionless.
“Senior, Senior!! Please don’t stay silent! Ask whatever you want, anything is fine!!”
Xu Ping’an’s silence only made the two elders of Bloodfiend Hall even more terrified, worried that this Mighty One would pull out the needles at the slightest displeasure.
Xu Ping’an raised an eyebrow.
Senior?
It seemed these two had mistaken him for someone from the Cultivation World.
But that was fine.
This kind of misunderstanding was actually in his favor for the upcoming questions.
“Oh? I haven’t left seclusion in years, and now that I’m out, I encounter something this interesting. But… you two say you want to kill a disaster, yet looking at those two in the sky, neither one carries any aura of evil or demonic energy. On the contrary, it’s you two who are covered in bloodfiend energy. Care to explain why? Also, who exactly are those two up there?”
“Senior, Senior, I know! That woman in the sky, she’s the disaster we’re supposed to kill! Don’t be fooled by her lack of bloodfiend energy—she’s carrying a Treasure that hides her killing aura!”
“That’s right, Senior. That woman has committed countless crimes, so this time we used a Great Array to ambush her.”
“I see…”
“Then where did you learn this formation? The Ten Directions Blood Grudge Bone-Corroding Grand Formation—this is an ancient Great Array. At least as far as I know, no one in this era should be able to use it.”
Upon hearing Xu Ping’an’s words, the two immediately broke out in cold sweat.
This formidable figure not only knew the name of the ancient array but also stated that it shouldn’t exist in this era.
Which meant the Mighty One behind them was likely a true god who had survived from ancient times!!
“Immortal Venerable, this array was taught to us by a Mighty One who could not bear the woman’s murderous ways. Each sect received a part, but the specifics of its operation are unknown to us, as only each sect’s Sect Master learned a piece. That Mighty One didn’t wish to pass on the entire array.”
Ancient Mighty One?
Nonsense!
If anyone had truly survived from ancient times, they would be an Immortal by now, not just a cultivator.
Moreover, Xu Ping’an was absolutely certain that there were no ancient Immortals in the current world.
This wasn’t something Xu Ping’an knew himself, but something the System had told him. At least on this point, the System wouldn’t lie.
What could be confirmed was that no ancient Immortals remained in this world.
So, this array was either obtained by chance by someone behind the scenes, or their ancestors happened to acquire and pass it down.
But how did this array, which should have long been lost, fall into someone’s hands?
Strange…
Logically, if this world was the successor of the Primordial Desolate World, then even if any arrays survived, they should be famous ones like the Zhou Tian Star Array or the Twelve Celestial Fiend Array.
So how did an obscure formation like this persist until now?
Though his mind was filled with questions, the most pressing was to find out who was behind all this.
For now, the rest could wait. Since the person behind this inherited the legacy of the Primordial Desolate World and had set their sights on Pei Qingxuan, he had to take things seriously.
He didn’t care about the fate of others, nor could he, but if anything happened to his obedient wife, he’d turn the world upside down.
“How interesting. There are still people who know this lost array.”
Interesting. Who is that person? I’d like to visit them someday and seek their guidance.
“Senior, Immortal Venerable… it’s not that we’re unwilling to tell you, but that the Mighty One refused to let us know their name. From start to finish, they never appeared. It wasn’t the Mighty One who taught us directly, but one of their disciples.”
“A disciple? What’s their name? Where are they?”
At this, the two hesitated, but Xu Ping’an wouldn’t allow them to waver.
He simply reached out and grabbed the silver needles atop their heads.
“So you’re not answering? Fine, don’t.”
“Wait!! Senior, let’s talk, let’s talk!”
“That’s right, Senior, Immortal Venerable, Mighty One, please don’t get excited. Gentlemen talk things out!”
“So, will you answer or not?”
“Of course we will, but Immortal Venerable, Senior… we really don’t know the name of that person! Only the Sect Masters of each sect might know the truth.” Xu Ping’an raised an eyebrow.
“You’re trying to fool me?”
“How would we dare!!”
By now, the two were on the verge of tears, faces full of grievance.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to answer—they truly didn’t know.
If they knew, would they dare not answer?
Their lives were in his hands!
Leave out even a single word, and their souls would probably be shattered in the next second!
“Oh, so you really don’t know?”
“We really don’t know, Senior.”
“Yes, Immortal Venerable, we really don’t know!”
“Hmm, fine… in that case, may you both rest in peace.”
???
Countless questions flashed through the two’s minds.
However, Xu Ping’an wouldn’t give them time to think.
Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss. With a slight tug of his hand, the two silver needles were pulled out with ease.
In the next moment, these two elders—who had run rampant as Magical Path cultivators with cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage—collapsed soundlessly to the ground.
Their souls were shattered, leaving almost no disturbance, as their very essence had scattered into the heavens and earth.
Moreover, with the Red Gourd’s sands nearby, their fragmented souls were instantly absorbed.
Now, there was no hope for reincarnation.
From this moment on, the two were completely erased from the world.
Xu Ping’an pulled out a clean white cloth and carefully wiped down the two silver needles, then turned to look up at the people in the sky.
If he delayed any longer, the array would succeed.
Although he hadn’t gotten much useful information, time was of the essence and he couldn’t hesitate further.
With that thought, Xu Ping’an set his stance, using the thick bloodfiend aura within the array to instantly vanish from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already a kilometer away.
No wonder these ancient arrays were so wondrous—even an ordinary person, if they mastered the array’s operation, could use all sorts of mystical abilities.
This Earthshrinking Step was just one function of this array.
Now, before Xu Ping’an stood several Magical Path cultivators controlling a corner of the formation.
He no longer cared which sect or faction these Magical Path cultivators belonged to.
Relying on the bloodfiend aura they had gathered, and his deeper knowledge of the array, Xu Ping’an directly seized control of the formation from them.
Before those people could react, the surrounding bloodfiend energy surged and instantly enveloped them all.
In an instant, shrill screams echoed throughout the valley!
