Chapter 437.
Chapter 437 – The footsteps of chaos
The Lin family members in the hall looked at each other and had a guess.
“But the formation side has been repaired?”
The Lin Family Lord slowly shook his head, “It’s just that there are some changes in the formation, it hasn’t been repaired yet.”
An old man with crane hair and chicken skin at the lower left head frowned at the words.
“How was it communicated over there, the family head might as well say something. Although I am only a second grade formation master, I am the one who takes care of all the formations in the clan, so I might be able to tell something from it.”
The person who spoke was none other than the Lin family head’s sixth uncle, he was old and senior, and was quite prestigious in the clan.
The sixth uncle had been a second grade formation master for several decades, and was the person with the deepest attainments in formations in Blackfish Island.
He was the one who had the deepest attainments in formations on Blackfish Island, and he was also the one who took care of the few Grade 3 formations on the island, and he was also the one who repaired them, which was a lot of hard work.
The Lin Family Master spoke out about the diminishing aura around the formation after a brief contemplation.
As Sixth Uncle listened, his brows furrowed even tighter.
“It’s just repairing the formation, how could the aura disappear for no reason? This has never happened when I was repairing it in the past… Something has changed, hasn’t it?”
Another formation master thought and then answered, “The Spirit Gathering Formation had some spiritual qi overflowing before, so perhaps the overflowing spiritual qi has been recovered.”
Uncle Six still disagreed and felt that this change was not in line with common sense.
“Even so, it is not possible to recover the overflowing spiritual qi so quickly, the change of the formation is gradual, there must be a reason for such a sudden change.”
Speaking here, he couldn’t help but look skeptically at the head of the house, “Family master, where exactly did you hire the formation master from, does she really have the strength of a third grade formation master?”
The Lin Family Head was silent for a moment, Sixth Uncle was the number one person in the island’s Formation Dao, and his understanding of formations far exceeded that of the average second grade Formation Master.
And since he had not dealt with Daoyou Xu, it was normal for him to have some misunderstandings.
“Sixth Uncle, it’s fine for you to say this in front of me, but don’t say it in front of Xu Daoyou. Fellow Daoist Xu is a Jindan cultivator, and his control of the Level 3 Formation Disk is precise and comfortable.”
“Hmph, but it’s just a mere third level array disk, after refining it, you can drive it with only a slight understanding of formations, don’t let her fool you!”
Sixth Uncle stretched his face in dissatisfaction, the folds on his face flattening.
“It’s not that I’m looking down on Sixth Uncle, it’s just that the path of formations isn’t difficult to learn at first, but the deeper you go into the essence, the more complex and subtle it becomes, and the higher the requirements for divine sense and deduction ability.
Repairing the formation, can’t afford to be half-assed. If you make a single mistake, it’s just a tiny bit off, a thousand miles off.”
The Lin Family Master pondered a little, his own sixth uncle’s words did have some truth to them.
However, that kind of familiarity when controlling the array disk was simply not something that could be achieved with a slight understanding of formations.
Moreover, he believed that Daoyou Xu was not that kind of person.
“Don’t worry, Sixth Uncle, I have an opinion on this matter.”
Uncle Six’s brows sank slightly as he sniffed, and based on the changes that were being born in the formation right now, he suspected that the other party might not be a Level 3 Formation Master at all.
He was just trying to take this opportunity to obtain a high-level Spirit Gathering Formation.
The family head, who was always wise and resolute, had been hoodwinked this time.
“Family master, if the formation is damaged to the point of being irreparable, what should be done?”
He was only a second grade formation master, his abilities were limited, and the usual maintenance and repair of the island’s formations had already exhausted him.
If the Spirit Gathering Formation was damaged again on top of that, he would be unable to repair it.
“If there are any problems with the formation, I will be responsible for this matter to the end.”
The Lin Family Lord spoke indifferently, “The discussion on this matter ends here, if there is nothing else, today’s assembly will end here.”
After the assembly was over, Uncle Six thought left and right without any peace of mind, and eventually walked towards where the Spirit Gathering Formation was located. He had to go and watch the formation with his own eyes, so that if something changed midway, he could still keep an eye on it.
He walked all the way towards the formation, but outside the formation, he was stopped by two juniors.
The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
They were in the way of the family head’s command, but they could only force themselves to stop the person.
“Sixth grandpa, the family head has ordered that no one is allowed to enter within the formation.”
Sixth Uncle lifted his chin in dissatisfaction, “I’m not doing anything by going in, I’m just watching from the sidelines, can’t I do that?”
The two were somewhat helpless in the face of this grandfatherly elder, and eventually one of them took out the Sea Walking Order and asked the family head directly.
The Lin family head refused without even thinking, “No, what should we do in case you, Daoist Xu, are in the middle of a critical moment and are disturbed? Never let Uncle Six go in.”
The two were instructed to inform the Sixth Grandfather in front of them of this outcome.
After hearing that he had been rejected, the ageing Sixth Uncle was furious and blew out his beard.
“I’ve been tending to the formations on this island for decades, why won’t you let me in? What else can I not do?”
The two men were helpless and persuaded bitterly.
“Sixth Grandpa, don’t make things difficult for the two of us. We are also acting on the orders of the family master. The family master didn’t allow you to enter because he was also looking out for your safety.
That Elder Xu is a Jindan Realist, if he accidentally hurt you, you wouldn’t be able to handle it at your age, would you?”
The two originally thought that with Sixth Grandfather’s temperament, he would have to make a fuss for a while before he would give up.
However, after hearing this, he actually silently turned around and left.
The two were relieved, the sixth grandpa is old and has a high seniority, and has a reputation in the clan, if he really made a scene, they still don’t know what to do.
Two people collected their minds to continue to guard the formation, one person surveyed the surroundings, some doubts.
“Hehe, how did this surroundings change again, could it be that the Spirit Gathering Formation has once again given birth to new changes?”
The other person blankly swept his eyes around and reacted violently.
“What Spirit Gathering Formation has given birth to new changes? Most of the changes in the Spirit Gathering Formation are related to aura, this …… is an illusion formation! It’s Sixth Grandfather!”
The two of them looked at each other, they were both shocked, when did Sixth Grandfather lay down the illusion formation, they didn’t even have a hint of noticing it.
Waiting for them to break out of the formation, Sixth Grandpa’s silhouette was gone.
“Forget it, let’s inform the family head first!”
When the Lin family head learned the news, he was furious and amused, Uncle Six was a little too reckless!
Let’s inform Dao Friend Xu first, so that she doesn’t accidentally injure Uncle Six without knowing.
Xu Chuniang took out all the spirit objects from the feet of the formation and was about to take the next step when her divine sense suddenly sensed an old man stepping into the range of the formation.
“Nonsense, simply nonsense!”
Uncle Six was so angry that his beard went askew, painfully scanning the formation feet that had been dug up to the point of being in a mess, “A good formation, but it’s actually been made to look like this!”
Xu Chuniang stared thoughtfully at the other party’s jumping feet, could it be that this old man, too, was not a formation master?
Just as she had this thought, the old man continued to walk, unable to stop pounding his feet and chest, with a color of pain in the bottom of his eyes.
“The formation is in great disarray, not to mention repairing the entire Spirit Gathering Formation, it’s difficult to restore it to its previous extent!”
