Shen Wang took a deep breath and carefully observed the threads infiltrating the array.
Under his observation, these threads had different colors, corresponding to different attributes.
Red for fire, green for wood, blue for water, white for metal, yellow for earth...
A total of five attributes!
When disrupting the array, these threads utilized the principle of attribute counteraction.
For instance, dealing with the Weak Water Array, yellow earth attribute threads quickly pierced through and destroyed it.
For the Golden Light Array, red fire attribute threads were the main attack.
Not only counteracting, but these threads also had mysteries of mutual generation operating among them, destroying the array together.
Moreover, arrays are surfaces, protecting a region of space.
While these threads act as points and lines, they break surfaces by concentrating on a single point, having a natural advantage.
Besides, these threads are transformed by mana-imbued magical treasures, extremely tough and powerful, Shen Wang’s spiritual essence was far from enough against them.
"Five Elements Mutual Generation and Counteraction, breaking surface with point, transformed by powerful mana..."
Shen Wang murmured bitterly, realizing after calm analysis, that there was still no solution.
"I thought having the array’s protection would be stable, now it seems, I was too naive."
Shen Wang sighed, realizing he was overly reliant on the arrays, thinking that with so many arrays protecting him, he would be unscathed.
Little did he know that there are always stronger forces out there, and someone can give him a headache merely by presenting an array-breaking secret treasure.
His expression changed, identifying that unless he possessed enough strength, he could do nothing about this.
Seeing the Mountain Connecting Array also being destroyed, Shen Wang pondered for a moment and decided to change his strategy.
Since he couldn’t hide here, he would take the risk and relocate, starting anew.
With a cold expression, he quickly adjusted the array.
Then he took out some array flags and stored them in his storage pouch.
At this moment, outside, Ling Shu spoke: "Elder Xuanting, you can attack the outer array and break a layer first."
Profound Thunder Zhenren nodded upon hearing this, leading people towards the ancestral home, his eyes gleaming with a cold light, mana surging all over, palm filled with thunder, imposing and fierce.
In an instant, the air around him crackled, and the hair of the accompanying Foundation Establishment Cultivators fluffed up.
Profound Thunder Zhenren sneered: "This should end now!"
The Thunder Power in his palm coagulated into a huge thunderball, which he launched with a single strike.
The Shield Mountain Array on the outer layer formed a thick earthen-colored shell, which was pitted and uneven due to the damage from the array-breaking shuttle.
Under this palm thunder attack, with a rumble, the nearby light burst forth, and the thick shell struck by the thunder instantly shattered and collapsed, smashed to smithereens.
Amidst the swirling dust, Profound Thunder Zhenren spoke with a gleam of delight: "Now it can’t even withstand a single blow, the array is essentially scrapped."
He ordered the others to take action, breaking through a circle of water outside the ancestral home, quickly removing a layer of the array.
On the new array, colorful threads were drilling in to destroy it, they attacked for a while, but it was still quite resilient, temporarily unbreakable, so they retreated a few steps to rest.
At this point, Ling Shu said: "I can’t sense other arrays, he should have made some changes, but no matter how he changes, he won’t be able to stop us."
"Probably spaced the arrays apart to hold out a bit longer."
Profound Thunder Zhenren speculated: "Ling Shu, you also consumed quite a bit, should I take over?"
"It’s fine, I have a Ninth Grade Golden Core, my mana is pure and abundant, I haven’t consumed much yet."
Ling Shu replied with some pride, although her realm was slightly inferior to Profound Thunder Zhenren, her Ninth Grade Golden Core was much more robust in foundation.
"I forget about that."
Profound Thunder Zhenren smiled awkwardly: "I’ll trouble you then, when the array is broken, you’ll get three-tenths of his belongings."
"Elder Xuanting, no need to be polite, this is what Ling Shu ought to do."
Ling Shu didn’t mind, she didn’t think Shen Wang would have much wealth.
If it weren’t for the arrays set up by the other party having some merit, she wouldn’t even deign to bully such a weakling.
Inside the ancestral home, Shen Wang arrived at the courtyard, grabbed a blue-gold bead from the wellhead, then adhered a talisman to it and placed it in a brocade box.
He looked around, then called everyone out.
"Jia’Er, Paper Kite, Lan Kui, pack up immediately."
Shen Wang said in a deep voice.
The trio’s expressions changed slightly but not unexpectedly.
For Shen Wang had once mentioned the possibility of needing to flee.
The three nodded, turned around without a word, and began to pack.
Shen Wang looked at the slightly anxious Liu Shan and Hongping: "Now you have two choices, follow me or I’ll give you some resources, and you can live under new identities for a while, they probably won’t pursue you."
Liu Shan hurriedly shook his head: "Master, we are already determined to follow you."
Hongping agreed: "Master has continuously provided us with resources and guidance for our cultivation, we haven’t had a chance to repay you, please let us follow and do some chores."
"Alright, then follow me."
Shen Wang didn’t say much, as Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan were brought by him, he naturally couldn’t ignore them.
He looked at Chunmei, who was still unaware of the gravity of the situation: "And you?"
"I... I’m just an ordinary person, can’t do anything. Maybe I should just go back to my hometown."
Chunmei no longer wished to continue living , whether hiding or fleeing.
"Alright, Liu Shan and they are Innate Grandmasters, there could still be a target on them, while you’re just an ordinary woman, they likely won’t notice you."
Shen Wang nodded, "In a moment, take the child and leave through this tunnel, these things are enough for you and your child to live in wealth for three generations."
He tossed Chunmei a bag: "Inside are some secret martial arts manuals and other resources, you’ve learned a bit of martial arts over the past year, you can teach your son, and if he makes a name for himself in the future, we might meet again."
Having followed them, Chunmei had eaten spirit rice and drank water containing spiritual qi daily, making her body exceptionally strong and allowing her to achieve longevity.
Bored, this village woman learned some things from Hongping, and though she wasn’t considered a master, with her strength and a few moves, she could take down several big men.
Chunmei hurriedly thanked him, feeling a bit excited at the thought of finally living a normal life.
"Once you’ve packed up, leave directly. This tunnel is over ten miles long, enough for you to walk for a long while."
Shen Wang waved his hand, then turned to look outside, connecting the spiritual qi in the well’s water with the array, exhausting it completely, leaving no anomalies as much as possible.
He moved to the ancestral hall and looked at the spirit tablets inside, sighed: "If they smash these spirit tablets, I’ll wipe out the entire Yun Family for you."
With that, he walked to the skeleton, took a bone, then opened the most hidden passage, setting up another array near the ancestral hall.
Having abandoned the Mountain Connecting Array outside to buy time, this array served to protect the ancestral hall.
After setting it up, Shen Wang went outside, finding Jia’Er and the others already packed, only taking a few items.
Only Chunmei carried large bundles, even taking the rice, flour, grain, and oil from the kitchen.
