The stolen magic is a bit magical

The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up: "We'll have to go sooner or later, but when, where, and how you go are all within your control, right?"

“Exactly! In war, the worst thing you can do is be led by the nose.” Lin Xiaosu said, “Before the fifteenth of the first lunar month, I will hold my troops still; after the fifteenth, I will enter Lanzhou!”

"Enter Lanzhou? Or go to the battlefield?" the Seventh Prince asked.

"What I requested from His Majesty was permission to enter Lanzhou to inspect the sects, but Zheyuntai is located in Lanzhou, so let them guess..."

"Lord Su, the test of the new year is upon you once again!" the Seventh Prince said. "Tomorrow, I also intend to lead troops south. Let us, one in the south and one in the north, support each other from afar."

"Is Your Highness also heading south?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Yes, I have received the imperial decree. I was supposed to set off three days ago, but I wanted to see you before I left, which is why it has been delayed until today."

“Alright, Your Highness will head south, and I will head north. Let us, one in the south and one in the north, echo each other from afar!” Lin Xiaosu stood up.

The Seventh Prince also rose: "Today, we pay tribute to the familiar battlefields with our cups of tea; tomorrow, we will welcome our triumphant return with our jugs of wine!"

The two teacups gently touched, drawing back the curtain on this world, the prelude to the camaraderie between the two.

The seventh prince took his leave and left.

Lin Xiaosu bowed and saw them off at the gauze pavilion.

The Seventh Prince's figure disappeared around the corner of the courtyard wall. Lin Xiaosu raised her eyes and quietly looked at the three words written in her own hand above her head: Thin Gauze Pavilion.

Qingying breathed a sigh of relief: "In this year of great contention, heroes emerge in great numbers. The Marquis rose to prominence in this turbulent era, and the times also drove this prince, who had guarded the northern border for eleven years, to launch another southern expedition. There is another person who has also recently risen to prominence. He came to visit the Marquis yesterday, but the Marquis was not here."

"Oh? Who is it?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"This person looks refined and gentle, and his unsteady gait doesn't reveal his true strength. However, his debut was marked by astonishing achievements, and he is considered the second dark horse of the Great Wilderness Dynasty after the Marquis," Qingying said.

What kind of record?

"Within the Great Wilderness, there were originally eight Heart Pavilions. The Marquis personally destroyed two of them, and this man wiped out the remaining six in one fell swoop. The six pavilion masters perished, and the people in the pavilions were subdued by him using secret methods, and all of them pledged their loyalty to him." Qingying's voice was very mysterious.

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat: "Who is this person?"

With his current cultivation level, he doesn't really care about the Heart Pavilion. If he were to take action, destroying six Heart Pavilions would be a piece of cake. However, destroying the Heart Pavilion and subduing the Heart Pavilion are two completely different concepts.

Even for him, it was quite incredible that he could subdue this group of core members of the Heart Gate who possessed sub-divine arts and had been deeply rooted in the Great Wilderness for many years.

However, before he could make a move, someone else did, and it turned out to be someone whose steps were unsteady and whose cultivation level was not apparent.

Who is it?
"This person's surname is Lin, and his given name has a classical feel; it is a double name, 'Weiyang'."

Lin Xiaosu's eyes widened suddenly.

Lin Weiyang!
That professor from back then?
Within the Great Xia Kingdom, among his former acquaintances, there were only two whom he could not understand.

First, Lu Yun.

Secondly, there is Lin Weiyang.

In many ways, Lin Weiyang seems to be his rival. For example, he targeted the Changsheng Group, and Li Changsheng's daughter, Li Ziyan, is Lin Weiyang's disciple.

Li Ziyan was wanted by the police and had been hiding in his "Baishan Residence" for a long time.

For example, when he wanted to obtain the "Moon Lotus," one of the three treasures of the secondary gods, he fought against various forces in the Middle East, getting himself into a complete mess. In the end, Lin Weiyang gently reached out and plucked the peach. In the battle for the Moon Lotus, Lin Weiyang also used Lin Xiaosu as a pawn in her scheme.

However, later on, he and Lin Weiyang became people on the same path.

Lin Weiyang, using the pseudonym "Six-Eared Left Master," conveyed a great deal of valuable information to Qianlong.

They became his more capable assistants in the game between him and Hydra.

Even as the ancient boundary was broken, Lin Weiyang always stood on their side, devising war plans and even directly intervening in the battle, personally slaying the Utopia Lord who emerged from the Earth's core...

Is this Lin Weiyang who suddenly appeared in the Great Wilderness Dynasty the same Lin Weiyang?

His move was once again in perfect sync with his own, taking down six Heart Pavilions. What was the meaning behind this?
"Where is this person?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Qingying said, "This man destroyed six Heart Pavilions. He, like the Marquis, offered the thirty million gold coins and countless jewels accumulated in the Heart Pavilions to His Majesty. His Majesty was overjoyed and appointed him as the deputy director of the fourth department under the 'Hall of Faith' of the Zhentian Pavilion, with a fifth-rank title, to lead the seven hundred experts who surrendered. He should be in the Zhentian Pavilion at this time."

"It's almost noon today, so I won't say any more. Tomorrow, you'll come with me to Zhen Tian Pavilion!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Yes!"

Lin Xiaosu got up, left the gauze pavilion, and went into her study.

Qingying stood outside the study and peered through the crack in the door, seeing Lin Xiaosu writing furiously inside. From this angle, she couldn't tell what he was writing.

Qingying gazed at the face that had grown increasingly handsome and dashing over the past few months, and her heart gradually succumbed to its allure.

As someone who works in intelligence, I always get to know people better the more I look at them. Many big shots who were once rumored to be extraordinary become, once you get closer to them, you realize that "they were just ordinary people after all."

However, his own lord was quite the opposite.

At first, he seemed like just an ordinary person, at most a bit handsome and a little more cultured.

However, the longer the time goes on and the closer you get, the less you can see through them.

His magic is never limited to one aspect.

His magic continues to manifest itself in every aspect.

His literary talent has been steadily advancing towards the realm of the miraculous.

Wisdom leads step by step to the miraculous.

His cultivation level also seems to be advancing rapidly.

Various new skills are constantly being unlocked.

Why are there such amazing people in the world?
If Qingying could see what he was doing right now, she would definitely overturn her understanding of the matter once again.

Because what Lin Xiaosu did almost pushed him to his own limits...

He wasn't writing.

He was engraving a pattern.

The engraved array is a common, innate Yin-Yang reversal array.

This is not surprising.

Strangely, his speed was astonishing!

A complete set of the Sky Yin-Yang Reversal Array consists of thirty-six array crystals. A normal array master would be considered a "master" if they could carve one set in three days, but he carved one hundred sets in two hours!

Before the brush touched the ink, it swept across the crystal array. In a moment, intricate and magical patterns were left on the crystal-clear array, as if the most skilled and magical sculptor had completed his routine operation with practiced ease.

Two hours later, he gently waved his hand.

The 3,600 array crystal pillars on the table, engraved with strange patterns and resembling the finest works of art, were stored in the inner space.

More than three hundred array crystal pillars reappeared in front of him.

Lin Xiaosu put away his pen, extended his finger, and his expression became unusually solemn...

Without a sound, a phantom image of Earth appeared on the back of his head.

His fingers seemed to have become the divine artifacts of creation in the hands of the Creator.

The three hundred or so array crystal pillars in front of them seemed to have lost all sense of space at this moment.

The formation he inscribed this time was the Great Zhou Heavenly Small Killing Formation, which shook the world as soon as it was deployed above the Demon Emperor's Palace in the Demon Realm.

The biggest difference between the Great Zhou Tian Array System and the Void Heaven Yin Yang Reversal Array System is that it is not inscribed with the power of the Five Elements, but with the Seven Laws of Heaven.

The Seven Laws of Heaven are engraved on the array crystal pillars, without any patterns.

The secret is entirely hidden.

Even if someone gets their hands on such a crystal pillar, they will not be able to decipher the array patterns inside, thus fundamentally preventing imitation and replication.

It is precisely because of its high-end and mysterious nature.

It will also take much longer.

From noon until late at night.

Lin Xiaosu only carved two sets.

Everything was prepared, and Lin Xiaosu collected it all. She ate the midnight snack that Xiao Hong brought her and went to bed.

I slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky the next day.

After getting up and having breakfast, Lin Xiaosu looked up at the sun and greeted it, "Qingying."

"Here!" Without a sound, Qingying appeared in front of him.

"Let's go to Zhen Tian Pavilion."

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The restaurant was relatively quiet.

The saying "even a beggar has three days to celebrate his birthday" applies to every world.

This world is the same.

Those who run businesses should rest at home for a couple of days.

Farmers also stayed home for a couple of days.

It is customary here for sons-in-law to bring their wives and children, carrying large bags and small gifts, to visit their parents-in-law for the New Year.

On the street, there were many sons-in-law from wealthy families riding in horse-drawn carriages to their wives' homes.

Qingying walked down the street and looked at the Marquis walking ahead of her: "My lord, you could actually be provided with a dragon carriage for your personal use."

Hou was indeed qualified to ride in the dragon carriage.

Even if someone is financially strapped, they would still want to own one to show off their status, as long as they have the qualifications.

The Marquis himself had no such intentions, so much so that today, the dignified Marquis was walking on the street with those lowly people.

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "I can already traverse the sky, so I don't need this thing for traveling at all. Besides, this thing is very precious. Raising a dragon horse costs more money than raising ten maids. Why bother? With that spare money, I can give more to the servants. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"

“But then you won’t seem like a marquis anymore,” Qingying laughed.

"Does a marquis need a horse to prove his status? That kind of marquis is too low-class." Lin Xiaosu said, "I must say, strolling on the streets on the second day of the Lunar New Year has a unique charm."

The two continued on their way.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

An hour later, they crossed the North Gate, where the Buddhist sect had once fought over the path, and ahead lay the Zhen Tian Pavilion.

The top of Zhentian Pavilion was once leveled by a single sword strike.

To Lin Xiaosu that day, this sword strike appeared as a display of overwhelming power from Cang Yuan.

But looking at the roof that had been cut off today, Lin Xiaosu felt a familiar aura.

Yes, Cangyuan Liuye!
This sword strike was delivered by Cangyuan Liuyegan.

The eighth of the Thirteen Gangs of Cangyuan seems to play a role of intimidation.

He worked in the Great Wilderness Dynasty.

He'd done it before in the demon realm...

There was a group of officials at the entrance of Zhentian Pavilion.

The leader was none other than Lei Tianlun, the master of Zhen Tian Pavilion.

He had just seen off the Seventh Prince on his southern expedition and was filled with complicated thoughts when he suddenly saw the two of them strolling leisurely towards him.

Upon seeing the young man's familiar face, Lei Tianlun was stunned.

Su Lin!

"Lord Su!" Lei Tianlun strode over, followed by a group of officials.

Lin Xiaosu bowed: "Lord Lei, Happy New Year! All lords, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Lei Tianlun greeted him, and the officials returned the greeting.

Lei Tianlun said, "Is Marquis Su here to see off the Seventh Prince? The Seventh Prince has already set off."

"It's alright. I already bid farewell to His Highness yesterday," Lin Xiaosu said. "I've come today specifically to wish Lord Lei a Happy New Year!"

"How dare I accept such an honor? How dare I accept such an honor?" Lei Tianlun laughed heartily, "Lord Su, please!"

"My lord please!"

The group went straight into Zhentian Pavilion.

Lei Tianlun personally led him into the reception room. After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xiaosu asked, "Is Hall Master Li of the Military Hall in the command room?" "Yes!" Lei Tianlun sighed softly. "Although it is the New Year, the border war is urgent. As the commander of the four borders, Hall Master Li has not left the command room for the past five days. Should we ask him to come out and pay his respects to the Marquis?"

"How dare I!" Lin Xiaosu said, "This subordinate will go to the command room to see him."

"I will go with Marquis Su," Lei Tianlun said.

The three of them went to the command room together.

Lei Tianlun. Lin Xiaosu, Qingying.

There were more than ten people in the command room.

The head of the military corps stood before the huge map, his brows furrowed.

He had never encountered a war between the four kingdoms before.

His Majesty personally appointed him commander-in-chief, putting him under immense pressure.

In general warfare, the commander-in-chief needs to be present at the front lines.

But Zhentian Pavilion is different from other places.

Zhentian Pavilion has a map of the entire landscape.

Before the map of the entire land, the situation faced by each army was conveyed through military flags. Being in front of the map was no different from being on the front line. Therefore, he, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, stayed in front of the map for five days and five nights without leaving the front line.

The situation is far from optimistic.

All four borders are perilous.

Last night, the Northern Frontier launched another large-scale attack. The battlefield was so devastating that even those thousands of miles away could feel the pain.

Just then, a subordinate reported: "Lord Lei, Marquis Xueyi has arrived."

Lord Lei is alright.

I've been coming every day during this period.

And Xueyi Hou...

Li Yafu's heart suddenly started pounding.

Only he knew that this was his own son-in-law.

The genuine kind.

He managed to take his daughter's virginity, which was so difficult to break, and once he did, he became a true son-in-law.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, also known as the "Son-in-Law's Day." Is this son-in-law here to wish his father-in-law a Happy New Year?

In an instant, the head of the military affairs department shifted his focus from the complex and ever-changing battlefield to worldly matters of human relationships and etiquette.

"Lord Lei!"

"Master Hou!"

More than ten people in the command room attended the meeting.

Li Yafu also bowed in greeting.

Lin Xiaosu returned the greeting to everyone: "Hall Master Li, I was originally supposed to participate in this four-nation war, but I only returned yesterday and missed the army's departure. Therefore, I have prepared a batch of strategic materials to give to you, Hall Master, for your use."

He waved his hand gently.

The bluebird delivered a package.

Li Yafu took it and slowly opened it.

His heart skipped a beat when he opened it.

The package was full of array crystals!
Moreover, incredibly intricate patterns have already been carved into them.

Could this be...

It was the battlefield weapon that enabled him to win every battle and achieve victory in his campaigns in the south of the Yangtze River.

“This is…” His voice became excited.

"These are the array crystals of the Void Yin-Yang Reversal Array that I used several times when I went down to the south of the Yangtze River. Each set has 36 crystals, and there are a total of 3600 crystals here, which is exactly 100 sets! The array masters of Zhen Tian Pavilion naturally know how to use them."

Everyone in the command center was excited.

Li Yafu's heart was instantly filled with ecstasy.

A chaotic array of Yin and Yang in the sky, a battle in Jiangnan that cemented his legendary status.

Who doesn't know about Zhentian Pavilion?
After the Zhen Tian Pavilion army returned to the capital, the Hall Master of the Array Hall came to the army to learn about the details of this heaven-defying array. He also made preparations to visit Xueyi Hou at an opportune time. Even if the method was not easily passed on and he could not receive his teachings, as long as he could give some guidance, he could still help these array masters develop a similar heaven-defying array to the Zhen Tian Divine Artifact.

Unfortunately, Marquis Xueyi left his residence the day after returning to the capital.

He disappeared for more than a month.

The fierce national war began, and he did not return, causing everyone in Zhen Tian Pavilion to secretly lament his absence.

But today, he has come.

Take out one hundred sets right away!

One hundred pre-engraved Sky Yin-Yang Reversal Arrays were distributed to the front-line troops via special "express delivery." What kind of tremendous results will this produce?
Lei Tianlun bowed deeply: "Even if Lord Su did not participate in this battle, he is still the greatest contributor to this victory! On behalf of all the warriors of Zhentian Pavilion, I thank Lord Su!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Everyone bowed in unison.

"My lords, there's no need for such formalities! The border war concerns the Great Wilderness Dynasty and its people. As a member of the Great Wilderness, how can I stand idly by? I have urgent business to attend to and cannot go to the border. I will use this formation to help my comrades for a while. I will also go to Lanzhou after the Lantern Festival."

"That's wonderful!" Li Yafu's smile truly broke through.

My daughter is in Lanzhou.

If this son-in-law doesn't go, the father-in-law will feel a little disheartened. Now that he has made it clear that he will go!

He had urgent business to attend to, so he distributed 100 sets of the grand formation in advance...

This is the most effective way to help his daughter and his father-in-law.

good! good!
No wonder his daughter chose him after 36 years of searching!
"Then I won't disturb you gentlemen's military campaign any longer!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Farewell!"

"Respectfully seeing off the Marquis!" The atmosphere in the command room became completely lively.

Stepping out of the command room, Lei Tianlun's heart seemed to be completely at ease, and he smiled without reservation: "Lord Su, please be sure to have a simple meal at my Zhen Tian Pavilion today. I must offer you a toast."

This is the most sincere invitation from this high-ranking official.

But Lin Xiaosu gently shook her head: "I appreciate your kindness, but I have another matter to discuss with you today."

"If there is anything else, Lord Su, please give your orders!"

"This humble official requests to see someone!"

"who?"

"Lin Weiyang, Deputy Director of the Fourth Division of the Guige Xintang".

"Lin Weiyang!" Lei Tianlun said, "Does Your Excellency know him?"

"We don't know each other, but people always have to go through a process of getting to know each other!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Please tell me where he is, my lord, so I can visit him alone."

"Lord Su paid a visit to him? Or did he come to pay a visit to Lord Su?" Lei Tianlun asked.

“Lord Lei, this man is no ordinary person. Do not judge him by the usual formalities of officialdom.”

Lei Tianlun hesitated for a moment: "Okay!"

Zhentian Pavilion, Xintang Hall.

Information about intelligence is always kept extremely secret.

This is especially true of Zhentian Pavilion.

Xintang is located behind the main gate of Zhentian Pavilion.

As soon as the gate opened, the mountain peaks behind it came into view.

These mountains are sealed off by a powerful formation, making them impossible for ordinary people to see from the outside world.

Those inside who want to get out must also use the main entrance.

This applies to the military, as well as other major religious institutions such as Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and Confucian temples.

Lei Tianlun stopped at the gate.

Qingying also stopped at the gate.

Lin Xiaosu entered the inner hall of Zhen Tian Pavilion alone. With a single step, she ascended into the air and landed on Xin Tang. Xin Tang had already received the Pavilion Master's instructions, and the Hall Master bowed to welcome her.

Ten breaths later, Lin Xiaosu appeared in front of a small courtyard.

This small courtyard has a classic, antique feel.

This small courtyard contains a garden and a pavilion.

There are two people in the pavilion.

The man was about forty or fifty years old, with an elegant demeanor and a calm and refined air like that of a great scholar.

The other person was no more than four feet tall, petite and delicate.

They saw a person strolling leisurely through the flower path, and the two people's nonchalant attitude completely vanished.

The middle-aged man stood up and placed his hand on the table in front of him, where a cup of leftover tea was gently swaying.

They didn't speak, only looked at each other; their eyes conveyed a thousand unspoken words in an instant.

Lin Xiaosu stepped onto the pavilion.

As she took that step, the petite woman gently raised her hand.

Outside the pavilion, a layer of light gauze appeared; this was a soundproof wall, and definitely not one made with ordinary methods.

Lin Xiaosu's gaze lingered on her face for half a second before turning to the middle-aged man: "Professor Lin, how have you been?"

Professor Lin.

These three words do not exist in this world.

These words proved that the person in front of them was none other than Professor Lin Weiyang from Baishan Residence.

Lin Weiyang took a deep breath: "I visited your residence the day before yesterday, but you didn't return! So there's no way to verify whether this Snow-Clad Marquis, who's all the talk in the Great Wilderness Capital, is really your old friend."

"You should have guessed it was me!" Lin Xiaosu laughed. "It's because I left behind quite a few clues in order to reunite old friends."

"For example, the Heart Sutra? Or 'A Moonlit Night on the Spring River' or 'The Burial of Flowers'?"

"Yes!"

Lin Weiyang sighed softly: "Who would have thought that the legendary literary and even Buddhist tales that amazed countless people in this world were just a clue you passed on to your former comrades, telling them that you were in the Great Wilderness Court."

“In this chaotic and ancient world, we need to unite people’s hearts and minds and work together with one heart. It is not conducive to forming a joint force when everyone is groping on their own path.” Lin Xiaosu said, “Therefore, after I gained a foothold, I immediately sent out information to let everyone know where I was.”

“Using the timeless treasures of the Great Xia traditional culture to transmit information is indeed ingenious, but have you ever considered that it is a double-edged sword? Not all the people from that world are your comrades-in-arms, and the information you transmit to your comrades may also become clues for the enemy to discover you.”

The petite woman served a cup of tea.

Lin Xiaosu took the cup of tea and smiled gently: "That's why I said I sent this message after I had established myself firmly."

"Have you established yourself firmly today?" Lin Weiyang asked.

"That's right!"

"Is it alright that His Majesty knows your background?" Lin Weiyang asked.

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "What do you think is the reason he values ​​me? Is it because I come from an ancient sect? Or because I can do things for him?"

Lin Weiyang understood this principle, of course.

When emperors employ people, they value their talents and do not care about their background.

Whether he came from an ancient sect or from another world made no difference to this monarch. In fact, it could be said that the monarch felt more at ease using him because he came from another world. At least, he didn't have to worry about this person colluding with the ancient sect and plotting something sinister.

However, this world is not just about kings. The most terrifying people are never kings. Lin Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Even if the people at the very top know your background, are you not afraid?"

"The very top level? You mean the level of the Myriad Poisons Sect or the Heart Path Sect, or the level of the Cangyuan Sect?"

Lin Weiyang's eyes flashed: "Tell us all!"

"If you're referring to Cang Yuan, I don't care! Do you know why? Cang Yuan doesn't actually care where I come from, because even if I'm ten or a hundred times stronger, to them, I'm still just an ant. The eagle in the sky doesn't care which nest an ant on the ground comes from."

"What if it's the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect or the Heart Path?" (End of Chapter)
