After the three of them discussed their strategy, they activated the invisibility restriction on the flying ship and departed. In less than an hour, they arrived above Taiyun Valley.

The flying ship began to descend.

Fu Changsheng swept his Divine Sense around.

He found the valley to be completely normal and did not detect any traces of Old Monster Xin and his apprentice. If not for the intelligence they received, the three of them might have fallen into Old Monster Xin's trap.

On the flying ship.

The three of them exchanged glances. Granny Yu and Yu Qingru performed the technique, casting the Invisibility Technique, and leaped down from the flying ship.

According to the strategy they had just agreed upon.

To ensure everything was foolproof.

They would set up another array outside the cave where the Cloud Mushroom Fruit was located, so that even if someone else picked the fruit when it matured, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Meanwhile, Fu Changsheng stayed on the flying ship to prepare for Old Monster Xin's counterattack when he discovered their actions.

Granny Yu and her companion were setting up a small Tier Two Nine Bends Array, which has a twisted array hub, making it difficult for enemies to find the breaking point, suitable for trapping enemies.

However.

This array is quite time-consuming to set up.

Fu Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to arrange his own Reversed Five Elements Array for extra caution.

With a wave of his sleeve, the array flag and array plate floated before him. He pointed at the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower, from which Little Cyan flashed out.

Fu Changsheng moved his lips, giving instructions once more. Little Cyan nodded its small head, evidently understanding. It waved its tail, enveloping the array plate and array flag in a cyan light, donned Fu Changsheng's Invisibility Cloak, and flashed into the ground. After half a cup of tea's time, Fu Changsheng moved his consciousness and saw that Little Cyan had completed setting up the array and returned to his side.

Inside the cave.

The Cloud Mushroom Fruit on the Cloud Mushroom Tree was just a little shy of ripening completely, emitting a delightful fragrance. Old Monster Xin, who was seated cross-legged under the tree, had a flash of excitement in his eyes.

Simultaneously.

A trace of doubt crossed his mind.

The Cloud Mushroom Fruit was about to mature, but the owner of the Yellow Sand Array was still nowhere to be seen:

"Could it be that the other party met with an accident before this?"

If not.

They would never forget the ripening time of the Cloud Mushroom Fruit.

Old Monster Xin felt relieved.

As he was about to put away the Spirit-Seeking Mirror floating in the air, suddenly a ripple flashed through the mirror: "So they finally show themselves?"

Old Monster Xin sneered inside.

As long as the intruder stepped into his Four Symbols Black Tortoise Array, he would ensure there was no way out.

With a wave of his sleeve.

Several techniques hit the array hub of the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Array, all prepared and waiting for the opponent to enter the array.

One breath.

Two breaths.

...

After tens of breaths passed.

There was still no sign of anyone outside the cave.

He hurriedly sent techniques into the Spirit-Seeking Mirror, causing tri-colored spirit light to shine brightly. Two ripples constantly moved back and forth outside the cave dwelling in the mirror.

Judging by the movement.

It's clear that the two ripples represented the movements of those setting up an array.

They had been discovered!

The situation was not developing as he had planned.

Yet Old Monster Xin remained unafraid:

"Trying to trap this old man with an array? Impossible!"

Since his trap had been discovered, there was no need for concealment.

He immediately sent a technique into the central array plate.

Boom!

The ground trembled.

Suddenly, the array flags in the four cardinal directions lit up with brilliant spirit light, and with the changing Dharma Seal, four massive Black Tortoises materialized.

A point on the array.

The Black Tortoises, accompanied by a roar.

Rushed out from the array, swiftly charging towards Granny Yu and Yu Qingru who were setting up an array.

Simultaneously.

Buzz!

Outside the cave dwelling, five beams of spirit light suddenly emerged, converging mid-air into swirling clouds with a bang. The four charging Black Tortoises immediately lost their direction:

"A small Reversed Five Elements Array?!"

Old Monster Xin's eyes narrowed slightly.

He glanced again at the Spirit-Seeking Mirror.

The two figures in the mirror continued setting up the array without any intention of stopping.

This means.

The array they intended to set up was more powerful than the Reversed Five Elements Array.

Old Monster Xin quickly turned his gaze to the Cloud Mushroom Fruit. There was still a small amount of time until it ripened. If their array was set up successfully, even if he managed to pick the Cloud Mushroom Fruit, he wouldn't be able to escape.

He immediately gritted his teeth.

With a flip of his wrist.

A white and black intermingled Forbidden-Breaking Pearl appeared in his hand.

Seeing him recite a spell.

The Forbidden-Breaking Pearl spun, turning into a black light that plunged into the mist in front.

At the same time.

His Dharma Seal changed.

He softly incanted:

"Explode!"

Rumble!

The Forbidden-Breaking Pearl instantly exploded.

Bang bang bang!

The array flags of the Reversed Five Elements Array exploded one after another.

The mist lingering in the valley dispersed.

The figures of Granny Yu and Yu Qingru flashed into view. Old Monster Xin sneered, activated the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Array, and the four Black Tortoises immediately grouped into pairs, using the Combined Attack Skill to besiege Granny Yu and Yu Qingru:

"Granny Yu, Miss Qingru, focus on the array!"

Fu Changsheng wielded the Hundred Ghosts Banner.

The chilly wind howled, filled with ghostly Qi.

Autumn Cicada appeared, unleashing countless strands of hair that shot out with a whooshing sound, turning into threads that tightly bound the two Black Tortoises charging towards Granny Yu.

At the same time.

The Little Cyan Snake flickered its tongue.

Blood-colored shields formed around Yu Qingru, while it flashed in cyan light, engaging in battle with the two Black Tortoises.

Fu Changsheng pointed his Celestial Thunder Sword in front of him, and a voice-transmission from Yu Qingru came to his ear:

"Fellow Daoist Fu, the array hub of the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Array is in the cave's virtual position!"

Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
