2937 Our Sect Master
Qiao Mu felt instantly exasperated by the unfiltered remarks of the two elderly men. While their words were undeniably true, their straightforwardness left much to be desired.
With only three individuals in a sect, including the sect master, it was a fact that would likely leave others doubled over in laughter if it ever became known.
“Second Headmaster, do you possess knowledge of array formations?” As soon as Lu Zheng brought up the topic of array formations, his interest was piqued.
Qiao Mu cast a sidelong glance at him and silently conjured the schematic diagram from her mental reservoir. “I can set up a simple barrier array between these two mountain peaks. How does that sound?”
Lu Zheng felt a pang of regret. He had labored for many years to craft this schematic diagram, featuring 18 high-quality array diagrams.
Initially, he had intended to impress Chen Qi with his skills. However, considering the current circumstances, he felt as though he might cough up blood. He gazed at Chen Qi with an air of pride and lamented, “This place is too vast! To construct an array formation to block it, Xiaoxiao’s array formation may not suffice.”
“Oh, then you can do it.” Qiao Mu silently retracted the schematic diagram, going along with the flow.
“Lian, let’s go eat. Thank you, Elder Lu! You have four hours to establish the isolation array.” Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao strolled past the elderly man, her expression unchanged, and extended her small fist toward him. “Put in your best effort!”
Lu Zheng was left dumbfounded!
Chen Qi, standing by the side, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Lu Zheng’s disheartened appearance was genuinely comical.
Although he had been friends with this old fellow for hundreds of years, he had never witnessed him so exasperated and defeated.
The young stoic sect master was undeniably a talent. With just a few words, she could provoke such a reaction from the elderly Lu Zheng.
The two of them pushed open the door and entered the palace with its weathered walls.
In the vast standard-class hall, light red muslin canopies hung all around. As the chilly breeze flowed in through the windows, the gauzy drapes fluttered.
Qiao Mu led Mo Lian on a tour of the standard-class hall.
Despite the aging furnishings, they possessed a certain degree of elegance.
Qiao Mu continued to guide Mo Lian as they strolled into the back hall. Xuanji Palace was quite spacious, and with some refurbishments and fresh living arrangements, she could make it her new residence.
Considering the two sect elders who had little to do, Qiao Mu decided to delegate the tasks of repairs and procurement to them.
“Achoo, achoo!”
Chen Qi sneezed twice, rubbing his nose before walking to the side.
From his vantage point, he could see a waterfall resembling a silver dragon plummeting rapidly.
The two eggs joyously hopped about in the pool beneath the waterfall, rolling and cavorting as if they were in paradise. They playfully bumped into one another.
Chen Qi marveled in wonder. He turned and continued watching as Lu Zheng set up the isolation array.
As per the Second Headmaster’s instructions, once the two sects were separated, Red Clouds Peak would serve as the shared hub for both sects. An auxiliary passageway would be created on the side for the discreet transfer of individuals.
This passageway was positioned a considerable distance away from Xuanji Palace, ensuring that the palace would remain unaffected by the passage of people.
Lu Zheng soared into the air, his palms exuding a dense sacred energy. His arms moved minimally, yet enormous boulders were drawn from the surrounding mountains in all directions.
Following that, flowers, trees, branches, sands, and rocks floated through the air.
One after another, interlocking trees were meticulously transplanted here by his hands, gradually transforming the landscape.
