: To everyone's surprise
As the herd of divine beasts drew near the mountain, many saw them charge across the lake towards Dragon Reflection Town. Just when everyone thought that the Sima Clansmen were headed straight for death, a beam of white light shot up from the lake side, bursting through the dark night.
"What is that!" Someone cried out.
"That's.. A protection array!"
"That array is enveloping them all!"
"Why is there a protection array at the lake?"
"Idiot, when was there ever a protection array at the lake? It must be one created by someone in the Sima Clan!"
"Aren't they just a group of youths? How do they know how to construct a protection array?!"
"Ah, they must have an Array Master. Otherwise it would be impossible to construct a protection array!"
"Hmph, are you only finding out now that Brother You Lin is an Array Master!" Huo Zi Jiao said arrogantly.
There was no longer any trace of worry on her face. With a protection array, they would be able to pa.s.s the night peacefully!
"That's not right. I know You Lin's array. He can't possible have constructed such a powerful protection array." Huo Zi Yan said as he observed the bright and striking rays of the array.
"You're saying that it's not Brother You Lin who constructed it? Who else is an Array Master apart from him?" Huo Zi Jiao didn't believe it.
"I've seen him construct arrays two years ago. It's too different from now." Huo Zi Yan said.
"He must have had vast improvements since two years ago. Otherwise, who else in the younger generation of the Sima Clan could be luckier than he is?!"
"Maybe." Huo Zi Yan didn't want to discuss any further, and continued to watch the array below.
"The attacks of the spirit beasts normally last the entire night. We're not looking at how effective it is right now, but how long it can last. If it can't hold up the entire night, they will still lose their lives!" Wu Feng snorted coldly.
"That's right. Who knows, the array could be useless in the next minute!"
"I don't think an array crafted by a young man will be that useful." Someone more senior declared.
Everyone thought that the array by the lake side would be broken through very quickly. However, the entire of the night pa.s.sed by without that ray of light ever dissipating. It lasted all the way until every single spirit beast has left.
At the lake, Sima You Yang and the others were initially nervous and had called out their own divine beasts to prepare for battle any time. It was only Sima You Yue and the others who continued to refine an oven. They were not worried about their array being broken through at all.
When half the night had pa.s.sed, everyone finally relaxed because the array had not faltered during the onslaught of so many spirit beasts. It did not waver at all.
"You Yue, how is your array so strong?!" Sima You Yang ran over to ask.
Fatty Qu's oven had already reached its finis.h.i.+ng stages and no longer needed for Sima You Yue to stand beside him, for him to ask how to make this and that.
"This array is the strongest one I can construct right now. It's a bit immune to spirit power and the attacks of those spirit beasts aren't that strong and it's just that they aren't powerful enough, so they're all being sent down by the array. As long as it's not a divine beast of rank five and up, it won't affect the array too much." She explained.
"Why does this array sound so familiar?" Sima You Yang said.
"This is the family's protection array. The one that the Sima Residence is currently using is this very one." Sima You Lin said from the side.
"WHAT?!" Sima You Yang's eyes went huge "This is the clan's protection array?!"
"Grandpa Lin taught me." Sima You Yue was a but surprised as well. Sima Lin didn't tell her that it was the Clan's protection array when he taught her this array. He merely said that is was a very strong one. "But I only know how to construct this one. If the scope gets bigger, it won't be as effective."
"It's already extremely powerful enough!" Sima You Yang looked at Sima You Yue with adoration, "You Yue, you are my idol from now on!"
"Idol? Don't make me puke, don't you dare say this kind of things to me again." Sima You Yue continued to watch Fatty Qu build her oven.
