“Well then, what is our action plan? How should we break the barrier? You are from the Cai family, you lot. Surely, you have a plan for this.” Liu Man interrupted their discussion.

Cai Guo glanced at Liu Man and nodded.

“Of course the Cai family has a reason to be so confident about this raid.” Cai Guo nodded as he turned around, looking at the depths.

“Luo He! I will be needing your help now. Those cowards are inside their protective shell of theirs.” Cai Guo called out.

From the depths, an old man with only white hair walked out, using a stick to support himself. The stick part felt a little too much.

Who didn’t know that a cultivator was strong enough that even at death’s door step, they were strong enough to support themselves? But apparently this old man was so weak that he needed a stick to walk.

Shaking his head, Liu Feng just looked at him, trying to gauge who it was.

“This esteemed man is a dear friend of the Cai family, and he is one of the Cai Family’s many guest elders. They are experts that help out the family when we need help the most. And Luo He here is an array master.” Cai Guo introduced this old man.

“Oh, please, family head. What am I buy a man who just dabbles in some runes that the heavens have given out. I am just an old man who has spent his life on an obsession.” Luo He shook his head, but that was just a farce.

There was a proud look on his face. An arrogance that was only visible in one other profession: Alchemy.

This man was proud of his trade, and he sure let that go over his head as he looked at Liu Feng and Liu Man with disdain.

“Is this the barrier that I must break, Brother Guo?” he pointed to the giant barrier that was surrounding the entire Hong family.

“It is, indeed, Brother He.” Cai Guo nodded.

With that, Luo He got to work. He took out a giant brush from his spatial ring, as well as a black ink. The moment that the blank ink came out, Liu Feng could smell a myriad distinct smells from it. This was made from only the most precious herbs. Herbs that could be made into valuable pills, but were instead, made into mere ink?

But Liu Feng’s face was only filled with curiosity. For a long time, he wanted to see how these runes worked. So many people were using runes in all sorts of ways, and he personally wanted to see these rare array masters work their wonders.

Finally, he could see one of them in person.

Luo He took his seat right in front of the barrier, and he touched the barrier with his hands. Immediately, it rippled, and as the ripple spread to the entire front face, innumerable runes could be seen from the array.

Luo He’s face became a little serious as he began going to work. His brush twirled in the air and the ink that he used became runes. Some runes, Liu Feng could recognize, some, he could not.

Each of these runes went to the barrier, and tried to counter the runes within the array itself.

For a while, it seemed like this was working. The runes were all displacing the old ones, and the barrier would soon fall.

But then, Luo He halted and shook his head.

“This is beyond my capability, Brother Guo. The barrier is made of array flags, and not a formation by a single array master. You know that array flags that come from beyond the ancient portal are not things that I can defeat. They are simply too strong given enough Qi.” he said, sighing.

“The Hong family got its hands on an array from beyond the Ancient Portal? Impossible! It looks like the royal family has been a little too unfair, allowing the Hong family’s power to grow without any check. What other way can we use to defeat this array, brother He?” Cai Guo asked.

“My suggestion is to follow that boy’s words. We can wait. A powerful barrier also consumed a lot of energy. As for this one, it probably took a few dozens of High grade spirit stones to start up, and even though they are going to be enough for a week, after that, the Hong family will need to use a substantial amount of spirit stones each time to keep up.

It is an expense that they simply can’t afford. This is a siege, so you just need to overlast them.” Luo He said.

Liu Feng smiled, but he shook his head.

“I might have said that, senior He, but I am no coward like them. I have no intention of backing down right when the going gets tough. Doing that did not get me to the stage that I am in today. Is there any other way that you can break the array?” Liu Feng said.

“Young Noble. We must consider array master He’s words. They are true. The Hong family will not be able to last in the long run, and we will be able to defeat them with ease once the barrier is down.” Cai Guo implored.

“That bastard is using High Grade spirit stones to keep the array up and going. He is using the spirit stones that I am supposed to take. Do you think that I would allow someone to use my wealth so easily? Even if I have to brute force it, I will do it.” Liu Feng declared.

“Hahaha! I like your words, kid. You really are the best present that I have seen in all my years of existence. That is right. You shouldn’t back down from a fight like that. All these other old men, so boring. Full of cowards. It looks like there are no real men in this human race.” a sound reverberated among the entire city.

“Who goes there?” Cai Guo looked up with anger. This person dared to insult him and everyone behind him.

But Liu Feng looked up with solemn eyes.

“Yue Zhe.”
