#723 - See the Suzaku Nest
The leader, Lu Yikang, was clad in a black robe, his face hidden in shadow. He spoke with a sinister tone: "Indeed, there is a treasure hidden here. We've cultivated here for thousands of years, yet we never discovered it."
Another cultivator, Liu Shang, was also dressed in fiery red, his red hair striking. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Indeed. My wife mistakenly entered this place and was killed by the array. I will definitely avenge this!"
He looked at the Vermilion Bird currently deciphering the array and continued, "Look at that divine bird; it must have some connection to this place. When it comes out, we'll set up an array and repay them in their own coin."
Yet another person didn't exude flames directly, but wore a flame battle armor that shielded him from the fire's harm.
He sneered and said, "I, Array Celestial, am unparalleled in arrays. I'll set up the Nine Revolutions Evil Array, trapping them inside with no escape.
When the time comes, my two fellow cultivators will need to lend me a hand to slay them."
This man was the array genius of the entire Wind and Cloud Continent—Array Celestial.
Years ago, he mistakenly entered a mysterious cave dwelling and obtained the Dao of Arrays. Then, using the Dao of Evil and the Art of Restriction, he created a set of infinitely powerful arrays.
Now, he intended to use this array to deal with Li Chengfeng and the Firebird mother and daughter.
Array Celestial, the number one array master on the Wind and Cloud Continent, was always a man of action.
The array plates in his hand were like shooting stars, streaking across the sky and flying in all directions, falling into the raging sea of fire.
Immediately afterward, a buzzing vibration rang out, as if the entire space was responding to his call.
The red-haired man, Liu Shang, witnessed this scene, his eyes flashing with admiration.
He exclaimed, "Master Array Celestial, your methods are truly astonishing!
Once this array is complete, we can easily catch our enemies like turtles in a jar, wiping them out in one fell swoop."
The masked man, Lu Yikang, was also full of confidence in Array Celestial. He was surrounded by flames, and his voice was sinister as he said, "Of course. If I didn't trust Master Array Celestial, I wouldn't have spent such a huge price to invite him to help.
Our goal is to build a huge portal here and transfer our forces over.
When that time comes, the entire Wind and Cloud Continent will belong to us. How can a small Endless Fire Sea stop us?"
Upon hearing this, the red-haired Liu Shang burst into laughter, his voice full of triumph and anticipation. He said, "Good! Don't worry, fellow cultivator, I will fully cooperate.
When the time comes, the entire Wind and Cloud Continent will be the domain of our three brothers."
However, Lu Yikang sneered inwardly. He outwardly agreed with Liu Shang's words, but he had his own plans in mind.
He thought to himself, "Once the portal is complete, it will be a large-scale teleportation array.
When our clansmen arrive across the void, who on the Wind and Cloud Continent will be able to contend with us? Those so-called sects are all vulnerable.
Moreover, building this teleportation array in the Endless Fire Sea will save us a lot of spirit stones and treasures.
Otherwise, it would take too long, be time-consuming, laborious, and resource-intensive; secondly, isn't this fire sea tailor-made for us?
Hmph, when the time comes, whose domain this Wind and Cloud Continent is will be up to us to decide."
The red-haired Liu Shang nodded frequently at Lu Yikang and Array Celestial's plan, beaming with joy, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.
However, after Li Chengfeng flew into the sea of fire, his expression suddenly changed. It turned out that a fire spirit insect he had left outside had transmitted information to him.
