Chapter 1445: Chapter 265: Ten Breaths’ Time, the Sword Array That Severs Destiny

Dongling City.

Star-picking Tower.

At this moment, on the third floor by the window, two men sat by the window.

One of them was Yun Shanhe, dressed in white, incredibly handsome, with a touch of melancholy between his brows.

Opposite him was a man with a very ordinary appearance.

So ordinary that it’s hard to spot him in a crowd.

"Brother Dao, when do you think he’ll return?" Yun Shanhe asked. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"I don’t know!" The ordinary-looking man shook his head, then said, "But I’ve reinforced the array and made it more concealed, while also adding a set of combination array disks. As soon as a strong person enters the array’s range, I will know."

Upon hearing these words, Yun Shanhe immediately nodded.

"No wonder you invited me to sit with you today, Brother Dao!"

"In this freezing weather, standing guard all the time would be too taxing! Although we aren’t affected by changes in temperature, drinking some hot wine in this climate is quite a delight!" The ordinary-looking man shook his head as he spoke.

Continuing with a sense of regret: "It’s a pity the wine here is subpar, and being assigned here, it’s not suitable to bring those treasured good wines!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shanhe smiled.

"Once this trip is over, I will host and invite Brother Dao for a good drink!"

"After this trip, we must have a good drink!" The ordinary-looking man nodded repeatedly.

"Just don’t know how long we have to wait!" Yun Shanhe added.

"This matter can’t be rushed; at critical times like this, we can’t alert the target! We have ample time, and acting with intention when the other party is unprepared is the easiest! If the Dongling Marquis becomes wary, it’ll just cause more trouble." The ordinary-looking man spoke.

Then he continued, "According to intelligence, this is one of his homes, he’s bound to return here, and currently, there are also two beauties in his former residence. Leaving two women to guard an empty house, how could a young man full of Qi-Blood do such a thing?"

"The array in his residence is already set, as soon as he returns, the grand array will rise with a thought."

"Once the grand array is activated, it not only seals escape routes but also conceals this place from the Royal Capital’s Observatory’s surveillance!"

"Then, in just a moment, the two of us can strike with full force, enough to execute him instantly."

Upon hearing these words, Yun Tianhe nodded slightly.

"Now we patiently await his return. From the Royal Capital to Dongling City, it should still take some time."

"It should!" The ordinary-looking man nodded, then said, "But we mustn’t be careless! Opportunities may come only once."

"Naturally!" Yun Shanhe nodded, "The key lies with you, Brother Dao!"

The ordinary-looking man said, "Wait patiently! We can enjoy the sunshine and admire the scenery here! Especially this snow scene, it’s quite beautiful!!"

...

On the other side.

East District.

Jiang Ning stood in front of his residence, furrowing his brows.

From a distance, he noticed an anomaly in the energy distribution in the air, hidden killing intent.

It was the exposure of Sword Intent.

Now upon closer inspection, it’s even more evident.

Ahead at the residence, Spiritual Energy surged beneath the ground, flowing, forming a vast array diagram.

In several corners, there was concentrated Sword Intent spewing out.

The next moment.

He closed and opened his eyes.

His pupils ignited with fire; they turned a reddish-gold, with flames burning intensely within.

With the activation of the Fire Eye, the previously faint sights now became even clearer.

He looked up towards the sky above the residence, streaks of sword light appeared in the depths of the void.

Occasional flashes of sword light formed a sword diagram deep within the void.

Beneath the ground, the flowing Spiritual Energy became clearer; he saw nodes where Spiritual Energy converged.

"I wasn’t mistaken; someone is already waiting for me to return in Dongling City!"

Jiang Ning spoke inwardly, feeling a tightness.

Ji Mingya echoed in his mind, recalling the words spoken by the Martial Saint and others.

"Perhaps, as the Martial Saint said, I’ve grown to the point of being noticed by forces from all over the world. Those from the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands don’t want to see a formidable figure rivaling the Martial Saint appear, even as a possibility, they don’t want to bet."

At this moment, it’s clear in his heart.

At some unknown point, a hidden array had already shrouded his home in Dongling City.

This grand array, with its strong Immortal Dao coloring, forced him to suspect that he might be targeted by certain people from the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.

In contemplation, he closed his eyes once more.

When he opened them again, his eyes returned to normal, but the Heavenly Eye had appeared on his brow.

A white vertical pattern appeared on his brow.

Splendid light constantly escaped from the vertical pattern, dispersing like smoke clouds.

Under the enhancement of the Heavenly Eye, with a glance, the entirety of his residence came into view.

Beneath the ground, nine nodes had long been secretly buried.

Under every node, several bright and dazzling crystal stones were piled up, along with a small sword inserted.

Moreover, the Dao pattern concealed in the void had silently connected the nine nodes together.

"An array that’s ready to be triggered at any time!" he spoke inwardly.

Thinking briefly.

He slightly closed his eyes, his Heart Spirit expanded.

In just an instant, the entire Dongling County was enveloped by his Divine Thought.

After dozens of breaths, he locked onto the two men by the window on the third floor of the Star-picking Tower.

Now, the sky was clear and sunny.

The two men sat by the window on the third floor of the Star-picking Tower, looking at the snow scene outside.
