Chapter 373 Xiangji Society
noon.
The Grand Elder arrived at the plaza outside the Dharma Transmission Hall, his face cold and gloomy as he looked at the group of array masters beside him.
"How long have they been here?"
"Elder, the children have been here since school ended."
The one who answered was an old man. Although he looked old, he was actually younger than the elder, so he was very respectful.
The Grand Elder looked towards the plaza and saw a group of Tang family youths forming three groups, each using spirit crystals and array materials to build an inverted array.
However, after many attempts, none of them have been successful.
The Grand Elder frowned: "Such a simple formation, and you still haven't set it up? What kind of behavior is this!"
"Elder, please don't be offended. Although the inverted formation is simple, the method of setting it up is quite different from the methods we are familiar with. Many aspects are completely different from what we are used to. It's no wonder the children are having trouble, even we are..."
The array masters exchanged glances and gave each other awkward smiles.
That's right, they tried many times themselves, but they didn't succeed. The main reason was that Ye Kang's formation ideas were too general, and they had to figure out many things on their own.
Copying something exactly is easy, but reasoning it yourself is a different story.
The elder snorted coldly and said, "Give me the materials."
"Elder! You must set up the formation too!"
"Hmph, if the Tang family can't set up an array that others can do with a flick of their wrist, wouldn't they be unworthy of being called array masters?"
The First Elder was very competitive. She knew that Ye Kang had set up an inverted formation in class and had been wanting to try it. However, in her opinion, this small formation was not challenging at all.
After all, the effect is singular. I am a dignified array master of the Divine Sea Realm. How could I fail?
A moment later, the Grand Elder looked at the array materials that had exploded into a mess and fell into deep thought.
……
the other side.
Ye Kang has returned to his courtyard.
Sure enough, the fire in the stove was burning high, and the two women were busy cooking for the carp god, while the carp god sat obediently in front of the stove, staring intently at the iron pot.
One dish at a time, then another.
Ye Kang shook his head, feeling rather helpless.
Although the carp god has taken human form, its stomach is still that of a dragon-shaped koi carp, and most people really can't afford to keep it.
He gave a wry smile, then suddenly realized something and turned to look at the doorway.
Tang Yi strode in.
"Brother Wang! How did the class go?"
"Fortunately, nothing went wrong." Ye Kang returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
Tang Yi gave a thumbs up: "Impressive, impressive. Since you're all settled, come with me. I'll take you to a nice place."
"Brother Tang, I feel like I've seen that expression before. You looked the same when we first met."
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. That's right, after Liu Mingzhu came, the head of the family confined me to my quarters. You only lifted the confinement after you came. I've been so bored these past few days, I've been dreaming of going out to explore!"
A burning desire shone in Tang Yi's eyes, a testament to his yearning for adventure.
Ye Kang nodded and said, "Brother Tang, please tell me."
Tang Yi brought over a small stool and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, we won't go out. We'll stay on Tyrant Whale Island. A friend of mine, an inner disciple of the Tyrant Whale Sect, is going to West Island to hunt a demon and needs the help of an array master."
"Oh?"
Ye Kang smirked. He was so lucky; everything he wished for came true.
Western part of Whale Island, isn't that a coincidence?
"Brother Tang, I've heard that West Island is the territory of demons. Won't it be very dangerous for us to go there?"
"Relax, with the disciples of the Tyrant Whale Sect here, those demon kings won't dare to act recklessly. As long as they don't go too deep, nothing will happen."
"Demon King?"
Ye Kang looked puzzled.
He genuinely didn't know that; it wasn't mentioned in the offshore guide.
All he knew was that Tyrant Whale Island was enormous, with the eastern part being human territory controlled by the Tyrant Whale Sect.
The west was the territory of demons, but he didn't know exactly what kind of great demons there were.
The only piece of information is that a primordial spiritual fire may have been nurtured in the sixteen caves in the southwest.
Tang Yi had no doubts and said understandingly, "It's my fault, it's my fault, I didn't explain it clearly to Brother Tang."
"The western island of Tyrant Whale Island is actually larger than the eastern island, almost equivalent to a small country. It is home to countless demons, including twenty-four demons who have broken through to the Divine Sea Realm. Each of them occupies a cave and is known as the Twenty-Four Cave Demon Kings."
Ye Kang was completely stunned after hearing this.
Twenty-four demon kings at the Divine Sea Realm—what terrifying strength!
How many Divine Sea Realm experts must the Tyrant Whale Sect possess to be able to stand on equal footing with such a force!
He asked in surprise, "With so many demon kings, has there never been a rebellion?"
Tang Yi shook his head: "Impossible. With the patriarch of the Tyrant Whale Sect around, these demon kings dare not wage war against humans. However, they are not weak either. Relying on the inexhaustible food in the ocean, these guys live a very comfortable life."
Ye Kang nodded, understanding.
In other words, the sixteen caves in the southwest that I am looking for probably contain a demon king ranked sixteenth.
High emotional intelligence, quite challenging.
Low emotional intelligence, how the hell did they even get in!
Ye Kang's expression remained unchanged as he continued to inquire about the details.
The gist is that the inner disciples of the Tyrant Whale Sect recently unlocked their ninth leaf and urgently need demon blood to stabilize their cultivation. Therefore, they took the risk of accepting the demon-slaying mission and, for safety's sake, invited Tang Yi, a formation master, to go with them.
Tang Yi simply couldn't refuse such a thing; he loved adventure too much.
Ye Kang did not refuse. This was a great opportunity to understand the Demon King of Tyrant Whale Island. Although the hope was slim, he did not want to give up that Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.
After instructing the Carp God to guard the house, Ye Kang and Tang Yi disguised themselves, changed into ordinary clothes, and headed towards Tyrant Whale City.
On the way, Tang Yi said, "My friend went to Xiangji Society in Bajing City first. It's a place that holds auctions. He probably wanted to buy some treasures for self-defense. Perfect timing, let's go and see what's going on. If Brother Wang has anything he wants to auction, he can take it directly there. Xiangji Society's reputation is reliable."
Why not go to the Linglong Chamber of Commerce?
Ye Kang was somewhat puzzled.
Tang Yi waved his hand: "The Linglong Chamber of Commerce is certainly safe, but its standards are too high. We can't afford what we want, and we can't give away what we want to sell. It's not suitable for us."
“That’s right, then please lead the way, Brother Tang.”
Without further ado, the two flew into Tyrant Whale City and headed straight for a secluded giant tree.
This giant tree provides shade from the sky, and a large building is constructed on its heart and branches, which is quite miraculous.
After Tang Yi took out a jade token from the Xiangji Society, the guards immediately let the two of them in. The inside was not complicated; it was a large, chaotic space with an auction platform in the middle.
There is an iron chain on the auction stage, through which all the auctioned items are lowered.
As for the bidders, they were all gathered in the hall, there wasn't even a private room, and they made no attempt to conceal their identities.
Seeing Ye Kang's surprise, Tang Yi transmitted his voice and said, "Brother Wang, there's no need to worry. No one in Bajing City would dare to steal it unless they're tired of living."
Ye Kang nodded. It seemed that the intimidation of the Tyrant Whale Sect made these martial artists spontaneously abide by the rules and not afraid of revealing their identities.
Just then, a pair of jade-like feet suddenly descended from the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
