Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15796 Identity
"Elder, this is the fire-avoidance formation I've developed. This is the formation diagram. Please take a look." Zhang Hongliang said as he handed a formation and a diagram to Nong Gufeng.

Nong Gufeng took the array diagram and examined it carefully. Then he picked up the magic array, which was not very large, only about the size of a palm. It contained countless mysterious runes and looked very beautiful.

Nong Gufeng looked at Zhang Hongliang and asked, "How large is the area covered by this magic array?"

Zhang Hongliang said, "The range of a magic array is about ten zhang in radius. It won't work beyond that. Moreover, this magic array can only last for a quarter of an hour in the fire at most, and that's only if the fire is at its current intensity. If the fire intensity is higher, then it might last even shorter. If it's about ten times stronger than the current fire intensity, then this magic array can only last for about fifteen breaths at most. This is the most useful magic array that I can research so far. It's impossible to make it any stronger."

Nong Gufeng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go back now."

Zhang Hongliang responded, then bowed to Nong Gufeng before leaving Nong Gufeng's room. Nong Gufeng thought for a moment, then stood up. He was going to go see Zhong Wuya in person; he needed to talk to Zhong Wuya about this matter.

He soon arrived at Zhong Wuya's room, which was the largest in the entire skeleton. After all, the skeleton belonged to him, so it was normal for him to have a large room.

Even though it was large, it was only slightly larger; there wasn't much special about it. After all, this was inside a magical artifact, and their magical artifacts didn't have such a large internal space. Although they also had internal spaces, their internal space technology was far inferior to that of the Blood Slaughter Sect. So, although Zhong Wuya's room was large, it was just large. Upon entering, there was a large living room. The furnishings in this living room were quite peculiar. There were no chairs, only some futons and small tables. If it weren't for those small tables, it would look like a quiet room. Zhong Wuya was standing in the living room waiting for Nong Gufeng.

Nong Gufeng bowed to Zhong Wuya and said, "Elder Zhong, I apologize for disturbing you."

Zhong Wuya smiled slightly and said, "No disturbance, Elder Nong, you are too kind. Please come in." After saying that, he invited Nong Gufeng into the room.

When Nong Gufeng entered the room, he immediately invited him to sit down. Zhong Wuya sat in the main seat, while Nong Gufeng sat to his left. Both of them sat on futons with a small table in front of them, and there were no disciples serving them.

After the two sat down, Nong Gufeng looked at Zhong Wuya and said, "Elder Zhong, I've come today to deliver a magic array and a diagram. Hongliang has already made the array and the diagram. Please take a look, Elder Zhong." With that, he waved his hand, and a magic array and a diagram flew directly towards Zhong Wuya.

The magic array and array diagram flew to Zhong Wuya's front and landed directly on the small table in front of him, demonstrating his superb control over spiritual energy.

Zhong Wuya wasn't surprised. They were all experts at the kingdom level. If an expert at the kingdom level couldn't even do this, then they would have lived in vain. His attention was now entirely focused on the magic array and the array diagram.

He immediately picked up the magic array and examined it carefully. Nong Gufeng then spoke up, "Hongliang said that if the flames are like they are now, this fire-avoiding array can last for a quarter of an hour, and its range can reach a radius of ten zhang. However, if the power of the flames increases, the array's duration will be shorter. If the power of the flames is ten times that of the current flames, then this fire-avoiding array can only last for about fifteen breaths. Moreover, this is just his estimate. To determine the exact duration, we need to conduct experiments."

"Alright, let's try it tomorrow. If it works, we can start mass production. Once it's finished, we can launch an attack on the Nine Suns Immortal Palace."

Nong Gufeng responded, and Zhong Wuqi looked at Nong Gufeng and said, "Elder Nong, I must congratulate you. You have gained a genius disciple this time."

Nong Gufeng laughed and said, "Oh, it's just good luck. You should have heard that Junior Nephew Hongliang wasn't originally from our sect. He was an elder from a small sect. The strongest person in that small sect was only at the King City level. Junior Nephew Zhang was a person in his sect who was obsessed with arrays. He put most of his energy into arrays, which is why he has achieved what he has today. Perhaps because of this, his cultivation was delayed. Otherwise, his strength might be even stronger. People like him are usually unknown. Outsiders hardly know their names. We only found out about this genius by chance and directly took him into the sect."

Zhong Wuya's words were actually a test; he wasn't entirely at ease with Zhang Hongliang and wanted to know if there were any issues with Zhang Hongliang's identity. Nong Gufeng wasn't stupid either; he understood the implication in Zhong Wuya's words, which is why he spoke as he did. Although he had his own suspicions, he couldn't voice them now. If he said he also suspected Zhang Hongliang in front of Zhong Wuya, then Zhong Wuya might even suspect him as well. Therefore, he had to stand up for Zhang Hongliang.

After hearing what Nong Gufeng said, Zhong Wuya nodded and said, "I really envy you. But let's not talk about this anymore. The more we talk about it, the more regrettable it seems, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Nong Gufeng burst into laughter. After chatting for a few more minutes, Nong Gufeng returned to his room.

As soon as he returned to his room, Nong Gufeng immediately invited Shui Miao and Miao Fei over. When the two arrived, they saw Nong Gufeng sitting in the living room with a somewhat gloomy expression. Both of them were puzzled. Shui Miao asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Nong Gufeng glanced at the two of them, then said in a deep voice, "I just went to see Zhong Wuya. Zhong Wuya still has some doubts about Hongliang's identity. Not to mention him, even I have some doubts. By the way, has the sect investigated Hongliang's identity? Is there anything wrong with his identity?"

Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know. Nong Gufeng thought for a moment, then immediately took out a communication array and a jade slip. He then sent a letter to the Azure Dragon Sect, asking them how their investigation into Zhang Hongliang's background was going.

In fact, after their last conversation, when they had some doubts about Zhang Hongliang's identity, Nong Gufeng asked the Azure Dragon Sect to thoroughly investigate Zhang Hongliang's identity.

The people from the Azure Dragon Sect quickly investigated Zhang Hongliang's identity. They went to several sects around the Taixu Sect to inquire about him and see if they knew his identity. They thought that if Zhang Hongliang's array techniques were really that powerful, he couldn't possibly be completely unknown in their area. That's why they sent people to inquire.

Soon, the people of the Azure Dragon Sect learned about Zhang Hongliang from other sects. All those sects had heard of Zhang Hongliang and knew that he was a master of formations in the Azure Dragon Sect. However, not many people knew exactly how powerful his formations were.

After hearing these words, the people of the Azure Dragon Sect were relieved. At least now they could prove that Zhang Hongliang's identity was not in question. However, they had just received this news, so they hadn't had time to tell Nong Gufeng and the others before Nong Gufeng came to ask them directly.

How could the people of the Azure Dragon Sect possibly know that all the sects surrounding the Taixu Sect had already become part of the Blood Slaughter Sect? So when they came there to inquire about Zhang Hongliang, there would naturally be no flaws. This was because the people of those sects had all received orders to help the Taixu Sect confirm Zhang Hongliang's identity. Therefore, the Azure Dragon Sect would naturally not find anything by investigating from this angle.

After seeing the letter from the Azure Dragon Sect, Nong Gufeng breathed a sigh of relief. He then said with a smile, "Good, the sect has investigated. Hongliang's identity is not a problem. He is quite famous in the area around them. Many people from the sect have heard of him. However, because he is famous not for his strength but for his magic arrays, his fame has not spread very far."

Upon hearing Nong Gufeng's words, Shui Miao and Miao Fei breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally at ease. Nong Gufeng looked at the two of them and then said, "This matter is over, and we can rest assured. If Zhong Wuya asks again in the future, we can confidently tell them Hong Liang's identity."

Shui Miao and Miao Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Miao Fei then said, "It seems that this attack on the Nine Yang Immortal Palace won't be resolved in a short time. Just their magic array alone will take us a long time to break. We should inform the sect about this so that they can make preparations. At the same time, should we also warn the sect to be careful? If the people from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace use the teleportation array to suddenly attack our sect, wouldn't that be too dangerous? If we push the Nine Yang Immortal Palace too far, they might do that."

Upon hearing Miao Fei's words, Nong Gufeng was taken aback, and then his expression changed. He immediately said, "That's true. If the Nine Yang Immortal Palace really does that, it's indeed very dangerous. After all, we have no defenses against them right now. Moreover, we must also pay attention to some of the smaller sects around our sect. Those smaller sects can't afford to offend the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. If the people from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace ask to pass through them, they probably wouldn't dare to refuse. I think our sect should send some disciples to those smaller sects. Those disciples don't need to do anything; they just need to monitor the teleportation arrays of those smaller sects."

Shui Miao and the other person both nodded, agreeing with his point. They had indeed been overconfident this time. They thought that by attacking the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, the palace would be forced into a passive defensive posture, unable to launch an offensive. However, if they couldn't break through the Nine Yang Immortal Palace's defensive array in a short time, it would give the palace more time to make other arrangements. If the Nine Yang Immortal Palace were to send out experts to attack the Azure Dragon Sect directly, the Azure Dragon Sect would be in serious danger.

The Nine Yang Immortal Palace does possess such strength; after all, there are nearly ten kingdom-level experts within its ranks, so they must be careful.
