Chapter 448 - 213: Furious Father-in-Law! Terrifying Sacrificial Array! _7
"Shanlan, could you estimate how many people this array might threaten?" Yuchi asked again.
This question was crucial as it directly impacted the severity level of this incident. Hopefully, it’s not one of those arrays that could instantly obliterate Canglan City...
Huo Yuluo provided a direct answer, "The array has three realms: Heaven, Earth, and Human, corresponding to a hundred thousand, ten thousand, and a hundred respectively."
"In other words, if this is a Human realm array, and if there are a thousand corpses here, then the death count would be a hundredfold, approximately ten thousand. If it’s an Earth realm, it’s ten thousand times a thousand, which is ten million. As for a Heaven realm... it’s a hundred thousand times the corpses..."
Understood.
At least ten thousand dead, at most, everyone here dies...
That’s quite straightforward.
Yuchi was at a loss for words.
Xu Rufeng couldn’t stay calm... Have they encountered a serious problem?! And little sister, you should watch your words, such talk is practically intimidation!
It truly is intimidation!
However, Huo Yuluo finally mentioned some good news:
"But everyone, you can be assured, based on ancient texts, the site only shows signs, yet the array itself has definitely not been activated. It’s like wearing a single layer in the coldest winter; you might get sick, but by wearing an extra layer at critical moments, it’s not too much of a problem."
"So, if we properly bury them, lay them to rest, then things won’t escalate excessively, otherwise long-term consequences could be dire."
"Moreover, I can’t confirm this array is indeed a Sacrificial Array, as such arrays wouldn’t be recorded in ancient texts. The texts merely indicate the existence of such things, but wouldn’t possibly spread such knowledge wildly, knowing there are many madmen in the world."
Yuchi immediately nodded.
"If this really is a Sacrificial Array, then those who understand them wouldn’t reveal their existence to us, so why would they openly display their secrets before us? You know, being caught by us proves they aren’t that smart."
A Sacrificial Array is undoubtedly a Forbidden Technique; anyone who employs it is doomed to die, thus the art will inevitably fade away over time. And whoever qualifies to discover such a technique must be vicious and cunning; it’s impossible they’d let themselves be caught easily."
Besides, in recent millennia, there haven’t been reports of large scale deaths, so by reverse consideration, this might very well be something akin to "apocryphal history."
It’s used to scare children.
Listening to this, Xu Rufeng immediately felt relieved, Yes, indeed a big shot. Can such a big shot really be caught? That wouldn’t...
The scene was filled with awkward laughter, disguising embarrassment with smiles.
Young Master Yuchi, your little sister’s words are a bit frightening, we are timid, please don’t fool us.
Huo Yuluo looked at her Sect Leader Senior Brother, and with a smile, said:
"The aforementioned truly stems from apocryphal history, not to be believed. So, to ascertain what this array truly means, we need to find the focal point of the array. You show me the focal point of this grand array, and I can provide a basic assessment."
Focal point?
Alright!
So, where is the focal point?
Huo Yuluo glanced deep into the corpses, her eyes signaling, then looked at her Sect Leader Senior Brother.
Instantly, Yuchi understood; this girl came deliberately to say this, it’s all to prompt others to decipher the focal point. Was this intentional exaggeration? Then he set his eyes on Xu Rufeng.
"Young Master Xu..."
Xu Rufeng: "..."
Damn.
