Chapter 1215: Chapter 288: Treasure Book Glory Conference

Two days passed swiftly like a fleeting horse.

In the blink of an eye, the two days had passed, and the day of the Treasure Book Glory Conference announced by the Ruyang King had arrived.

On this day, the streets of Longxing Prefecture were filled with countless Jianghu people of various kinds. Although they brought a huge influx of visitors, they also filled the entire Longxing Prefecture with noise.

To welcome this grand event, twelve streets near the East City Arena had been cleared to serve as the venue.

Moreover, a large fence was erected on the perimeter of the venue, with teams of White Deer Army soldiers guarding it.

When the Jianghu people arrived and saw the White Deer Army, their brows furrowed, yet they dared not act rashly, as over ten thousand of the White Deer Army had entered the city today, while only about eight thousand Jianghu people participated in this event.

Of course, many Jianghu people were wary of the power of the Ruyang Royal Mansion, so they had people lying in ambush outside the city, ready to offer support at any moment.

But they truly miscalculated. How could the Ruyang Royal Mansion give them any chance? Just as these Jianghu people were about to settle down in ambush and provide support, they heard the sound of thundering hooves, and soon, they saw teams of White Deer Army cavalry directly sealing off all four gates leading into the city.

Forty thousand White Deer Army soldiers completely surrounded the four main gates leading into the city. At the same time, with a loud boom, the four gates closed, and the Thousand-Pound Gate fell, turning the entire Longxing Prefecture into a besieged city.

Simultaneously, the White Deer Army formed into a military array, and both those inside and outside the city heard an ancient and aged voice.

Immediately following, a gigantic phantom of a Black Turtle appeared above Longxing Prefecture.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes were on the giant turtle in the sky, revealing a solemn expression!

”Black Turtle Trapping Sky Array!”

Those with knowledge shouted out the name of the array directly, ”Black Turtle Trapping Sky Array,” also known as the Black Turtle Trapping Array!

This is a famous entrapment and defensive array in the world. When this array is set up, it harnesses the power of the array, the array eye, and the array heart, combined with the power of fifty thousand elite White Deer Army, forming this renowned first entrapment array of Daqian.

It is easy to enter this array, but getting out is extremely difficult.

At this moment, the Jianghu people gathered at the East Market looked at this world’s first entrapment array with a heavy heart, fearing that the Ruyang King intended to catch them like turtles in a jar, luring them into Longxing Prefecture City and then trampling the Jianghu.

Everyone’s expressions turned grim, and some Jianghu people had already drawn their knives.

They called out to each other: ”Damn it, what’s the Ruyang King trying to do, wipe us all out?”

”Yeah, starting with an entrapment array, is he afraid we’ll run away?”

”Ah, Senior Brother, what do we do now?”

”Heh, what do we do? If the Ruyang King wants to exterminate us, our eight to nine thousand people are not just for show. When they attack, we’ll kill one by one, and pair by pair. I want to see if the Ruyang King can really swallow all of us.”

”Exactly, exactly. Let’s see if these bastards have what it takes to wipe us out!”

”Right, let’s fight them. Killing one is enough, killing two is a gain. Junior Sister, hide behind Senior Brother. We’ve long heard that the Ruyang King’s White Deer Army is one of the court’s three major armies. Today, I want to see how powerful this White Deer Army really is.”

”Indeed, although our eight to nine thousand people might not defeat the Ruyang King, we are not afraid of him!”

”Come on, where are the people of the Ruyang Royal Mansion?”

Everyone shouted loudly, one wave of sound pressing over another, on the verge of turning into a disaster.

At this moment, on a tall building, the Ruyang King watched the tense Jianghu people below and said: ”Alas... if the world were stable, I would be willing to sacrifice some troops to slay them all. What a pity, what a pity...”

Hearing this, Lord Wuxiang, sitting beside the Ruyang King, said: ”Although these Jianghu people are a ragtag group, their personal strength is stronger than that of the White Deer Army. If we truly engage in battle, it would require at least ten thousand White Deer Army casualties to completely eliminate them.”

The Ruyang King replied: ”Ten thousand, ten thousand Mulan Brave Sons, it’s not appropriate, not appropriate indeed!”

Shaking his head, the Ruyang King thought to himself that the cost was too high; he could not accept it. The fifty thousand White Deer Army were his backbone, and if they were exhausted, how could he suppress the Jiangnan Five Provinces and the eighty-one prefectures?

With this thought in mind, the Ruyang King’s gaze turned to the scene below.

At this time, in an inn not far from the arena, hearing the noise outside, a middle-aged man in Taoist robes poured a cup of tea for the Great Monk in front of him, saying: ”Master, won’t you go out to calm the people’s hearts?”

The Great Monk smiled and said: ”With Hero Song of Wudang around, there’s no need for this old monk to meddle in trivial matters!”

The middle-aged man said: ”Ah, Master, you are the greatest master of martial arts. If you step forward, you can surely calm the people’s hearts and force the Ruyang King to refrain from using any tricks.”

The Great Monk waved his hand and said: ”With your honored teacher still in the world, this old monk is just a beggar claiming to be the greatest master of martial arts. Hero Song, please don’t mock this old monk.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man said: ”Master, no need for modesty. If this continues, it will surely lead to disaster. Master, you should step forward and intervene.”

The Great Monk heard this, looked outside, and said: ”Hmm, alright.”

Saying this, he got up and immediately said: ”Hero Song together, please.”

The middle-aged man said: ”Master, with you ahead, how dare I overstep. Master, please.”

The two of them made inviting gestures to each other, and then both walked out of the inn together.

Their action immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Jianghu people.
