Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16286
Chapter 16284 Weaknesses
About ten feet of the entire Fengling Mountain peak was sheared off. After confirming that there was no longer any living creature on Fengling Mountain, Zhao Hai moved and disappeared.
Zhao Hai’s actions stunned everyone in the sect alliance. They hadn’t expected Zhao Hai to retaliate so quickly, and this time the retaliation was so thorough, destroying the entire Fengling Mountain. What surprised them even more was Zhao Hai’s strength. He had broken through Fengling Mountain’s defensive array with a single sword strike. This seemed impossible to them. Even among the experts in the sects, no one dared to claim they could break through Fengling Mountain’s defensive array with a single blow. Although the defensive array on Fengling Mountain wasn’t very strong, it was still a sect’s defensive array. If a sect’s defensive array could be so easily broken by one person, then there was no point in setting up such an array.
In response to Zhao Hai’s retaliation, Qingxuan once again summoned the sect leaders of various sects to the Tianxuan Sect. After everyone arrived, Qingxuan looked at them and said, “You all know why I called you here. You should also know the current situation. To be honest, the actions of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect have indeed exceeded my expectations. Their leader has actually taken action personally, and with such strength. Everyone, tell me, how should we deal with Zhao Hai?”
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances. To be honest, they had some ways to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but they really didn’t have a good way to deal with someone like Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was alone; he could attack whomever he wanted. And precisely because he was alone, his actions were much more secretive. He could walk underground, fly in the sky, and even use illusion arrays. You couldn’t detect him at all until he attacked you. Such an enemy was the most difficult to deal with.
There used to be a rule in sects that they wouldn’t usually offend a Kingdom-level expert, especially a lone Kingdom-level expert. A lone Kingdom-level expert was the most destructive, so sects generally wouldn’t offend them, even if the expert was a rogue cultivator; they would usually treat them with courtesy.
While Zhao Hai wasn’t exactly alone, he was practically one. The other Kingdom-level experts from the Myriad Laws Sect were all in hiding; you had no idea where they had gone. So even if you wanted to use them to threaten Zhao Hai, you couldn’t.
Such people were generally called lone wolves, and offending them never ended well. They would relentlessly harass you, and no one in your sect would be safe afterward.
That’s Zhao Hai’s situation now. While he might not attack ordinary disciples of other sects, if he continued to attack smaller sects, it would be a major headache.
That’s why everyone was at a loss for words. They genuinely didn’t know what to do, because such an enemy was truly difficult to deal with.
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Qingxuan frowned as well. To be honest, he knew Zhao Hai’s situation was difficult to handle, but regardless of how easy or difficult it was, they had to deal with it. If Zhao Hai continued his attacks, the morale of the sect alliance would crumble, especially among the smaller sects. If those smaller sects realized that joining the sect alliance would also lead to their annihilation, what would be the point of joining? If they really had such thoughts, then the alliance would be finished.
After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Qingxuan sighed softly and then said, “I know Zhao Hai’s current situation is difficult to handle, but we can’t let him continue like this. If he keeps causing trouble, what will become of our sect alliance’s reputation? So let’s all think of a solution. No matter what, we can’t let Zhao Hai continue like this.”
Everyone remained silent, their brows furrowed. Just then, a disciple from the Tianxuan Sect walked in. This disciple quickly approached Qingxuan and whispered a few words in his ear. Qingxuan nodded, then waved his hand, signaling the disciple to leave. The disciple left, and after he did, Qingxuan looked at the crowd and said, “I just received news that another small sect has been wiped out. It was destroyed during the day. Zhao Hai broke through the sect’s defensive array with a single sword strike, then unleashed his magic, killing most of the sect’s members. Although the sect’s experts escaped, the sect itself was destroyed, and recovery will be extremely difficult.”
Hearing Qingxuan’s words, the sect leaders’ faces darkened even further. One of them said, “This Zhao Hai is truly ruthless and far too reckless. He actually attacked during the day; his audacity is astounding.”
“Most importantly, he broke through the defensive array with a single sword strike again. How did he do that? Even if those small sects’ defensive arrays were weaker, even if they couldn’t be fully erected at the time, with only about 60% to 70% defensive power, it would be impossible to break through them with a single sword strike, right? Is his strength really that great?”
“Sect Master Wen, do you know how he did it? If he’s really that strong, how are we supposed to survive?”
“It’s not because he’s strong, but because he has a deep understanding of array formations,” Wen Jing said, frowning.
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, then looked at him with surprise. Wen Jing continued, “You all don’t know much about array formations, so you probably don’t know that every array has a weakness. Even the best defensive array has this weakness. It’s just that the stronger the defensive array, the smaller this weakness is, and the less likely it is to be discovered. However, if someone has a deep understanding of array formations, after a long period of calculation, they can find this weakness. Once the weakness is found, it only takes a small amount of power to break through the defensive array. I suspect Zhao Hai used this method of finding weaknesses to directly break through the defensive arrays of those smaller sects.”
Hearing Wen Jing’s words, everyone’s expressions became even more grim. Qing Xuan spoke up… “But he didn’t do any lengthy calculations, did he? He flew directly to that sect and broke through their defensive array with a single sword strike. How did he do that?”
Wen Jing shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Unless his array techniques are extremely powerful, allowing him to spot the weaknesses of those defensive arrays at a glance, it really doesn’t make sense. We know about Zhao Hai’s previous actions. Although he’s strong, he’s not much stronger than us. We couldn’t break through the defensive arrays of those small sects in one go, so he shouldn’t have been able to either. But he did it. So, besides this explanation, I can’t think of any other explanation.”
Upon hearing Wen Jing’s words, everyone fell into deep thought. They were also very curious about how Zhao Hai had managed to do it.
At this moment, Dongye Zhu suddenly spoke up: “If he can really find the weaknesses of all the defensive formations, doesn’t that mean that the defensive formations of our various sects are also extremely dangerous?”
Hearing Dongye Zhu’s words, everyone was stunned, and their expressions became even more grim. They hadn’t considered this point. If Zhao Hai could really break through their sect’s defensive formations with a single sword strike, wouldn’t their sects be even more in danger?
Wen Jing shook his head and said, “That won’t happen. Even if Zhao Hai could break through the defensive formations of those smaller sects with a single sword strike, he couldn’t break through the defensive formations of our various sects with one strike. Our sects’ defensive formations are much more powerful. Even if they have weaknesses, he can’t find them in just a few strikes. And you should also know that the higher the level of the defensive formation, the harder it is to find its weaknesses. The reason their weaknesses are easier to find is because the weak points of the defensive formation constantly change position over time. In other words, the defensive formations of the major sects…” “Even if there are weaknesses, these weaknesses are constantly shifting. Finding a shifting weakness is incredibly difficult; the amount of calculation involved is terrifying. Therefore, it’s impossible for him to break through our defensive array.”
Hearing Wen Jing say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Jing then continued, “Actually, finding the weaknesses of all the sects’ defensive arrays might not be as difficult as I imagined for Zhao Hai.”
His words stunned everyone again. They all looked at Wen Jing, wondering why he said that. Wen Jing looked at everyone and continued, “The reason is actually quite…” The simplicity is that although there are many sects in Shenguo, the number of defensive formations is actually not that many. All the sects use only a few dozen defensive formations in total. While they may make some changes based on the terrain when setting up the formations, and the formations themselves may also change due to the application of other formations, the overall number of defensive formations is indeed only a few dozen. This is especially true for smaller sects, who, in order to control costs, rarely change their defensive formations and don’t often use other formations. Therefore, their defensive formations are actually quite rigid. Zhao Hai only needs to… “Knowing all the defensive formations, he can quickly calculate their weaknesses. The weaknesses of those smaller sects’ defensive formations aren’t mobile; they’re fixed in one place. Once Zhao Hai finds the right spot, breaking through their formations won’t be so difficult.”
Upon hearing Wen Jing’s words, everyone was stunned again. Then, their expressions changed drastically. A sect leader spoke up, “Doesn’t that mean you can know the weaknesses of all the defensive formations we use? Even if calculations are needed, finding the weaknesses of our defensive formations will be much easier for you?”
