Chapter 4242 The Netherworld Annihilation Array

As soon as Li Banxian arrived, his gaze was fixed on the magic array in front of him, and he didn't even notice that we were still here.

As Li Banxian walked past us, the slovenly Taoist priest slapped him on the butt, startling Li Banxian.

When he realized it was us, he immediately grinned and said, "It's you rascals again! We haven't even been apart for a few days, and we're already meeting again. Who slapped my butt just now? I thought some young wife had taken a fancy to my looks and was trying to take advantage of me."

"Old Li, you're shameless. At your age, you're still thinking about a second chance at love?" The slovenly Taoist priest chuckled.

"Yeah, you still think you're that handsome streamer, Purple Dream Dragon, who's got looks that are off the charts?" I chimed in.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll break the formation first, and then we can catch up later. After this is all done, come to my house for a drink." As Li Banxian spoke, his gaze fell back on the formation.

After carefully examining the magic array, Li Banxian's expression grew even more solemn: "Who set up this magic array? It's so exquisite. This person seems to be even more powerful than Huo Qingfeng..."

"Old Li, can you break this?" I asked.

"This magic array was probably set up in advance, so breaking it won't be easy. However, creating a passage through the array shouldn't be too difficult. I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, Li Banxian waved his hands, and a golden Bagua pattern immediately appeared above his head, with countless runes flashing on and off.

As they walked forward, the runes kept rearranging and combining, and the energy field kept changing, dazzling the eyes of the onlookers.

It has to be the King of Formations; you can tell he's got the skills the moment he makes a move.

In the blink of an eye, Li Banxian also entered the misty magic array.

More than twenty minutes passed before Li Banxian returned.

We all thought that Li Banxian might have gotten into trouble. Those old Taoist priests from Laojun Mountain, with such high cultivation, all suffered losses in there, while Old Li was a genuine scholar, and was far inferior in fighting.

After a while, I felt a little uneasy, so I called out to Tang Shangning and said I was going to go in and take a look.

Tang Shangning knew that my magic array techniques were quite good, so he immediately nodded and said, "Go in and see what's going on. If you encounter any danger, retreat immediately."

I responded, suspended the Yasakani no Magatama above my head, and walked towards the magic circle.

The Yasakani no Magatama can shield me from some of the damage from magic arrays, which gives me a lot of confidence.

As soon as I entered the magic array, I immediately sensed that it was fraught with danger and murderous intent. After taking only a few steps forward, I became hesitant to move around.

Just then, a figure quickly appeared beside me. I looked closely and found that it was Li Banxian.

When Li Banxian saw me, he seemed a little surprised: "How did you get in here, kid? It's dangerous here."

"I was worried something had happened to you, so I came in to check on you." As I spoke, I took a closer look at Li Banxian and discovered that he was injured. There was some blood on one of his arms, as if he had been hit by some kind of hidden weapon.

"What happened to your injuries?" I asked, somewhat surprised.

"Don't even mention it. There were people guarding the array's core inside. They spotted me. Luckily, I, Old Li, ran fast, or I would have been dead. The people guarding the array's core were quite formidable." Li Banxian was still somewhat shaken.

"You went to break the formation? Didn't you say you were going to create a formation within a formation?" I was a little surprised.

"I didn't break the formation. I just took a look at the formation's core while setting it up. It was really unnecessary, and I almost got killed. But I do know what kind of formation it is now," Li Banxian said to me as he walked outside.

"What kind of magic array?" I asked quickly.

"The Netherworld Annihilation Array draws upon the power of the Nine Netherworld Ruins to form the array. Within the array, the laws of heaven and earth are distorted. Those whose Dao foundation and Buddhist Dharma are unstable will have their Dao hearts shattered directly. At the center of the array is the Gate of the Netherworld. When the gate opens, demonic creatures from the Nine Netherworlds will surge out. Not only will those who break the array be devoured, but the surrounding holy spirits will also suffer annihilation. In addition, there are several killing arrays hidden in the shadows within the array. If one is not careful, one will be directly devoured and killed by the array. Although the person who set up this array is not as strong as me, he is still one of the top array masters in China." Li Banxian said solemnly.

"Old Li, you're really not modest at all. Is it possible that the person who set up the magic array is more skilled than you?" I said with a smile.

"How could that be? If he were more powerful than me, he would be the King of Arrays. How could my title of King of Arrays be just for show?" Li Banxian was quite confident.

As we spoke, we stepped out of the magic circle, where Tang Shangning and the others were waiting for us.

As soon as they saw us come out, everyone crowded around us: "Mr. Li, it's been half an hour, what's going on inside?"

"That's about it. I've set up a formation within a formation, leading to the interior of the Great Thunderclap Temple. Only the last ten meters or so remain unopened, because once opened, it's very likely to be discovered. Next, everyone can enter the Great Thunderclap Temple in batches, but each batch must be led in by me." Li Banxian glanced at the group.

“Old Li, the usual routine, let’s go in and take a look first. We’ll use invisibility talismans to find out what’s going on.” The slovenly Taoist priest stepped forward.

"Hmm, you guys are clever. Go in first and scout out the situation, but don't alert them. More experts will be going in to support you later." Tang Shangning patted my shoulder, signaling me to be careful.

We know Li Banxian's abilities; as long as he's around, we can rest assured.

Li Banxian also knew our strength, so he didn't say much and simply turned around and led us into the magic array.

We had only taken a few steps forward when we each activated our invisibility talismans.

The array within an array set up by Li Banxian was different from the one I had set up before. He made it very well hidden. Being inside it felt like being in the original array, and you couldn't feel the existence of the array within an array at all. However, wherever Li Banxian walked, there would be faint runes flashing.

We walked forward for a while, and suddenly felt someone following us from behind.

"Why didn't you wait for me? That's not very nice of you guys." A familiar voice came from behind us. We turned around and saw that it was Li Chao who had caught up with us.

"You came pretty fast." I looked at Li Chao with some surprise.

"I asked my advisor for a talisman that allows me to travel a thousand miles a day. I had just arrived when they told me you were already inside, so I had no choice but to follow them," Li Chao said with a smile.
