This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 683 - 591: Eavesdropping!? _2

At the moment the message was sent, the atmosphere around the great hall, which had just started to relax, instantly turned severe, even more intense than before!

A figure clad in heavy black armor with an indiscernible face quietly appeared beside Jiang Sui – it was none other than the Great Cultivator of the Ninth Realm, Shi Hu, the famed leader of the Black Xuan Army throughout the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent!

"Commander Shi!"

Noticing the figure beside him, Jiang Sui hurriedly greeted him with respect.

"No need for unnecessary talk, where exactly is the anomaly?"

Upon his arrival, Shi Hu's Divine Sense spread out overwhelmingly, and even his Domain silently unfolded, firmly locking down everything around. No movement or rustle could escape his notice!

Nevertheless, under such conditions, he still perceived no abnormalities.

"It's under that stone pillar, the third layer of the Array node, the rune toward the southeast that is slightly dimmer!"

Jiang Sui indicated the location with extreme urgency in his tone; he had been watching it for quite some time.

Carefully following the spot pointed out by Jiang Sui, Shi Hu's eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized it. After careful consideration, he concluded that Jiang Sui was telling the truth – there genuinely was an issue with that Array Rune!

Knowing that there was an anomaly here, even he, a cultivator of the Ninth Realm, had failed to detect anything. If it hadn't been for Jiang Sui directly pinpointing the spot, even if he had to painstakingly search the entire great hall, he likely wouldn't have noticed it.

It was no wonder that those before him had not detected it either; such a method was completely beyond everyone's expectations!

"It is hidden to such an extent!"

Shi Hu's tone was full of shock and anger, as numerous speculations flashed through his mind.

"External enemy? Or a traitor?"

Regardless of which it was, at this moment, Shi Hu was utterly terrified. Although he did not know exactly what this thing was, its stealthy nature surely meant ill intent – fortunate for its discovery!

"However, you've made a great contribution this time! Bring Su Peishan here; let him take a look at what's going on with this rune!"

Shi Hu gave an approving pat on Jiang Sui's shoulder, causing Jiang Sui – middle-aged and frail – to grimace with pain, his face twisted in an awkward smile.

Su Peishan was a top-ranking Array Master within the Black Xuan Army and was famously acknowledged throughout Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty and the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent. Jiang Sui found it unremarkable to request his presence for an investigation.

The task of inspecting the Arrays, including the one in this great hall, was initially assigned to this Mr. Su. However, with many Arrays to inspect, Mr. Su had not yet reached this one.

Just as Jiang Sui had received the order and was turning around to find Su Peishan, a sudden sense of life-or-death emergency burst forth from the depths of his heart. This sensation made Jiang Sui feel as if needles were pricking his entire body, accompanied by the furious roar of Commander Shi from behind him:

"Dodge!"

Although he had just used it and could not again for at least half a month, the Heart-Mind Connection Technique was involuntarily activated at this moment, giving Jiang Sui a sudden intuition in his heart.

Bend down, turn your head!

Jiang Sui didn't understand why, but his intuition urged him to do so, and he complied.

In his peripheral vision, two divine lights, swift as lightning, burst forth from the spot he had just dodged. They tore through the incredibly solid walls of the great hall, creating a huge hole to escape through!

"Huff...huff...huff..."

Jiang Sui collapsed on the ground, gasping with fear.

Had he not followed his intuition and narrowly dodged, the leading black light would not have struck the hall's walls, but his head instead!

The brain is the center of the Divine Soul, and he was merely a Daoist Practitioner, not a Body Cultivator capable of regenerating from a drop of blood. Had his head been split open, he would likely have perished on the spot!

Thinking of this, Jiang Sui wished he could lift and cheer the elder who had passed on the Heart-Mind Connection Technique to him. As for the subsequent misfortune as a price, he didn't care at all.

At least his life was saved; no amount of bad luck mattered anymore!

And following the trail of the black divine light was another thunderous divine light which Jiang Sui recognized – it was Commander Shi Hu!

The sudden change caught everyone off guard. Shi Hu had thought this was just a simple rune, and with him, a cultivator of the Ninth Realm present, any oddities should be easily subdued.

But the reality was beyond his expectation! The speed at which this black light erupted in that instant was so fast that even he struggled to catch up!

The two divine lights shot out one after another from inside the great hall, and the other members were naturally not just bystanders.

As soon as Shi Hu bellowed, the Black Xuan Army instantly reacted, understanding the urgency in his voice. While forming their battle formation, they also sent a message to Jiang Fufeng, who controlled the entire Secret Realm, to close the Secret Realm channel!

Long-renowned, the Black Xuan Army, considered a trump card within the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, was naturally quick to react. Even before Shi Hu's words had finished, a trapping Array that typically ensnares spirits was already formed, ready to trap in any intruder at any moment.

Regrettably, while the Black Xuan Army's response was not wrong, they underestimated their opponent's strength!

Facing the ever-shifting trapping Array assembled by numerous Black Xuan Army soldiers, which a peak cultivator of the Eighth Realm would struggle to escape from, the black divine light maintained its speed. It charged like a fierce tiger into the trap!
