Chapter 15789 Arrival
As the magic arrays lit up, the cultivator controlling the Azure Wave Concealed Edge Array exclaimed in surprise, "No, he's not using magic arrays with opposing attributes, but arrays with the same attributes! These arrays are absorbing the energy within, and the energy loss is accelerating!" No sooner had he spoken than the magic arrays suddenly changed color again, several beams of yellow and red light shooting into the sky. In that instant, the compass in the cultivator's hand cracked with a snap, and the array flags in his hand burst into flames. The next moment, the Azure Wave Concealed Edge Array exploded with a deafening roar. This turn of events was completely unexpected by the three of them. They had anticipated that Zhang Hongliang would break the array, but they hadn't expected him to break it so easily. He said it would take an hour, but less than an hour had passed, and he had already destroyed the array. This was too powerful!
Just after the magic array was broken, Zhang Hongliang flew to the island. He bowed to Ning Chuci and said, "Sect Master, my mission is complete."

Ning Chuci looked at Zhang Hongliang, and then a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. The smile grew wider and wider until he burst into laughter. He walked to Zhang Hongliang's side, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said, "Well done, really well done, hahaha! From today onwards, you are a formation master of our Azure Dragon Sect, and also the deputy hall master of our Azure Dragon Sect's Formation Hall. I heard that you don't like to manage affairs, so I won't be giving you the position of hall master. However, you will have your own place to study formations, and the sect will give priority to approving the resources you need."

Zhang Hongliang's eyes lit up, and then he bowed to Ning Chuci and said, "Thank you, Sect Master."

Ning Chuci waved his hand and said, "This is what you deserve, but I can't give you these things now because you have a task to complete. If you can complete this task, your reward will be even greater."

Zhang Hongliang immediately said, "Please give your instructions, Sect Master."

Ning Chuci then said, "Let's go back and talk." After saying that, he led Zhang Hongliang and flew straight into the Azure Dragon Sect. Chen Shi immediately followed, leaving only the formation master behind, who still had to clean up the mess.

A short while later, Zhang Hongliang and his two companions arrived at Ning Chuci's room. Once inside, Ning Chuci asked Zhang Hongliang and Chen Shi to sit down. After they were seated, Ning Chuci directly addressed Zhang Hongliang: "You may not be fully aware of the sect's situation yet, so let me explain. This time, our sect has joined forces with twenty-two other sects to jointly attack the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Because the Nine Yang Immortal Palace knew about this in advance, their teleportation array was shut down. Therefore, we can only fly there. However, there is a Nine Yang Burning Heaven Array there, which is said to be extremely powerful. Your mission this time is to go there and find a way to break through the Nine Yang Immortal Palace's protective array. If you can break this array, the sect will award you the greatest merit. How about it? Can you do it?"

Zhang Hongliang's expression changed. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Sect Master, I dare not say that I can definitely break the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, but I can try my best. After all, I have never seen this Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation before, so I cannot speak too confidently."

Ning Chuci showed no dissatisfaction with Zhang Hongliang's words. He nodded and smiled, saying, "Good, that's the attitude I want. Just do your best. They're almost at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. I'll have someone take you directly to the large magic artifact in a bit. Once you get there, people from our sect will naturally meet you. Right now, the one at the front line is Elder Nong Gufeng, the Supreme Elder of our Azure Dragon Sect. Just follow his orders."

Zhang Hongliang responded, and Ning Chuci then turned to Chen Shi and said, "Chen Shi, get Elder Zhang to the large magic artifact immediately, don't delay." Chen Shi responded.

Ning Chuci then turned to Zhang Hongliang and said, "Time is too tight now, and there's no time for you to rest. Go to the large magic artifact first, and you can rest properly once you get there."

Zhang Hongliang responded, and Ning Chuci waved his hand. Chen Shi immediately led Zhang Hongliang out of Ning Chuci's room. The two quickly arrived at the Azure Dragon Sect's teleportation array. Zhang Hongliang then stepped onto the teleportation array, and Chen Shi personally adjusted the coordinates of the array. After a flash of white light, Zhang Hongliang disappeared.

When Zhang Hongliang reappeared, he found himself in a small teleportation array. Just as he could see his surroundings, he saw a person wearing the Azure Dragon Sect uniform bow to Zhang Hongliang and say, "Are you Elder Zhang Hongliang?"

Zhang Hongliang quickly returned the greeting, saying, "That's me. And you are?"

The man immediately smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Quan. I'm the person the sect sent to pick you up. Come with me, Elder Nong is waiting for you."

Only then did Zhang Hongliang realize that Zhang Quan was actually a master of the Royal City level. He quickly bowed to Zhang Quan and said, "Thank you, Elder Zhang."

Zhang Quan smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. I think it's because my surname is Zhang, and yours is too, so Elder Nong Tai asked me to pick you up. Let's go." Zhang Hongliang responded and followed Zhang Quan inside.

The large magical artifact they were in clearly had an inner space, and it was quite large. After leaving the teleportation array, they saw several passages leading in different directions. Zhang Quan walked directly into one of the passages, saying as he went, "Each passage here leads to an area belonging to a different sect. There are twenty-three sects in total, so of course we can't all live together. Each sect has its own area. We'll go to our area now." Zhang Hongliang responded, and the two flew forward for a while before arriving at a circular space. This space was very large, appearing to be over a thousand square meters. Around this space, there were countless passages. Zhang Quan said, "This is where our sect lives. Each passage has many rooms, all of which house our people. I'll take you to Elder Nong Tai first, and then I'll arrange your accommodations."

Zhang Hongliang responded again, and then the two entered one of the passages. Soon they reached the end of the passage, where there was a door. Zhang Quan stepped forward and gently knocked on the door. There was a door knocker on the door, but the door looked very ordinary; it was just a regular iron door.

The iron gate opened silently, and Zhang Quan led Zhang Hongliang inside. Upon entering the client's room, they saw a large space, which seemed to be a living room. However, this living room alone was about 100 square meters, and there were many chairs inside. Obviously, this was not only a place for receiving guests, but also a place for holding meetings.

There are three people sitting here now. One person is sitting in the main seat, and the other two are sitting on either side of him. All three of them are now looking at Zhang Quan and Zhang Hongliang.

Upon seeing these three, Zhang Hongliang immediately lowered his head. He realized that all three had reached the Kingdom level. If these three were all Supreme Elders of the Azure Dragon Sect, it meant that the Azure Dragon Sect had mobilized three Kingdom-level experts at once, which meant they had gone to great lengths.

Although he only glanced at them, Zhang Hongliang was able to make out their appearances. The one sitting in the main seat was a cultivator who looked to be in his fifties. He was rather thin, with dark skin, graying hair, and a face full of wrinkles. He looked older than he actually was. He resembled an old farmer more than a cultivator.

The monk sitting to his left was extremely handsome, with a head of black hair. He looked to be in his forties, very energetic, and had a gentle demeanor. Sitting there, he resembled a refined and gentle young master.

The cultivator sitting to the right of the old farmer was quite tall, nearly two meters high. He was thin, but because of his large frame, he appeared very strong. He had large eyes and a full beard, giving him a very imposing look.

Zhang Hongliang was certain that the person sitting in the middle was Elder Nong Gufeng, but he did not recognize the other two.

At this moment, Zhang Quan bowed to Nong Gufeng and the other two, saying, "Disciple Zhang Quan greets Elder Nong, Elder Shui, and Elder Miao."

The man who looked just like an old farmer was indeed Nong Gufeng. He nodded and said, "No need for formalities." Then his gaze fell on Zhang Hongliang, and he looked at Zhang Hongliang and said, "You are Zhang Hongliang?"

Zhang Hongliang immediately bowed to him and said, "Disciple Zhang Hongliang greets the Supreme Elder."

Nong Gufeng nodded and said, "Not bad, do a good job. This time, breaking the formation depends on you. Zhang Quan, take him down to rest. There's a room for him nearby."

Zhang Quan responded and then led Zhang Hongliang out of the room. Once outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhang Hongliang, "I didn't expect Elder Shui and Elder Miao to be here as well. You don't recognize these two elders, do you? Elder Shui's name is Shui Miao, the one who looks very gentle. The other one, who is tall, is Elder Miao, whose name is Miao Fei. These three are the leaders of our operation this time."

Zhang Hongliang responded, and then Zhang Quan led him to a door not far from Nong Gufeng's room. He reached out and pulled the door knocker, and the door opened in the next moment. He then said to Zhang Hongliang, "Go in. This will be your residence from now on. Remember to send a strand of spiritual energy into this door in a moment. After that, no one but you will be able to open this door."

Zhang Hongliang responded and entered the room. As soon as he entered, he could tell that it was a suite. The outer room was the living room, which was not very large, only about 20 square meters, with a few chairs. On the inner wall, there was a door leading to the inner room, which was obviously a resting place. The entire suite was not as big as the living room in Nong Gufeng's room, but it was already very good. After all, it was in a large magical artifact, so one should not have too high expectations.
