The Peerless Emperor

Upon receiving the soul consciousness voice transmission from Yuan Chu, Lin Qian unexpectedly looked towards him, unable to fathom the reason for his exile being this.

Destroying the clan's grand array, it truly is a colossal matter.

The sabotage intended to frame Yuan Chu turned out to be extremely severe.

What surprised Lin Qian was that despite being framed for such a significant matter, Yuan Chu still managed to stand in front of him, unharmed and fine, which was truly astonishing.

Knowing this, Lin Qian held Yuan Chu in higher regard, suspecting that his background within the Yuan family was substantial, far beyond that of an ordinary direct descendant.

If it were a regular direct descendant, they would likely have been executed long ago.

"Destroyed, huh? No wonder," Zhuge Ming also emerged from his state of immersed array deduction, observing the situation before him and tacitly commenting.

Upon arriving at Zongyuan City, Zhuge Ming had already noticed that although the city's array appeared intact, it was actually somewhat damaged.

This damaged state appeared inconsequential, yet in truth, it was fraught with hidden dangers. If attacked, the array's ability to withstand assaults would be several times weaker than before.

Moreover, the operation of the entire array demanded soul crystal consumption several times that of the past.

If not for the Yuan family's inherent strength and wealth, they wouldn't be able to sustain such massive soul crystal expenditure.

Bringing such serious losses to the family, it was truly remarkable that Yuan Chu preserved his life.

"Hmm?" Seeing Zhuge Ming murmuring to himself, Yuan Li's eyes immediately widened and glanced over.

He then pointed his finger at Yuan Chu: "Well, committing such an act and still daring to announce it, you've made a colossal mistake."

"You!" Yuan Chu's heart tightened, and his eyes widened, gazing back at him.

This matter indeed could not be disclosed publicly, and he only related it to Lin Qian through soul consciousness secretly, trusting him.

However, how did Zhuge Ming come to know? Could it be Lin Qian who spoke?

Knowing this wasn't too significant, but letting Yuan Li become aware and seizing a handle could be troublesome.

"And what if he knows?" At this time, Lin Qian chuckled twice, "That's because Yuan Chu told us we could completely repair the array, hoping to do so during our trial participation."

Lin Qian's words further startled Yuan Chu standing beside him, wondering when did he say such a thing.

In Yuan Chu's view, Lin Qian's remarks could indeed provide him an excuse, preventing Yuan Li from using the secrecy breach as a pretext to trouble him.

But wasn't such an excuse luring him into another trap?

If Yuan Li suggested they truly repair the family's array, what then? Would they really go repair the array?

He didn't believe Zhuge Ming truly possessed the ability to repair the array.

The Yuan family's array was arranged by a predecessor of theirs in the past.

Although this predecessor had already perished in battle, their prestige still resonated throughout the Central World Star.

This predecessor was a renowned array master, having arranged the family's array and portals.

How could Zhuge Ming possibly have the capability to successfully repair the array left by the predecessor?

It's clear upon thought that it's impossible.

Yuan Chu felt helpless at this moment, unsure how to handle the present situation.

"Oh, repair the array?" Yuan Li laughed triumphantly upon hearing Lin Qian's words, pointing towards Yuan Chu, "That's what you said, I'm now going to inform the Clan Leader."

With that said, Yuan Li, eager beyond restraint, immediately turned around and departed quickly.

His face was full of smugness, and before leaving, he even taunted, "The person you found is truly foolish, hahaha!"

Accompanied by Yuan Li's gleeful laughter, his figure vanished from Lin Qian and the others' presence.

In Yuan Li's view, Lin Qian's words were clearly attempting to fabricate excuses for Yuan Chu, diverting the attention from the reason for leaking the secret of the family's array destruction.

Yet, fixing one trouble by creating another - how could that work?

By contrast, if Lin Qian's statement reached the Clan Leader and they failed to repair the array, the situation would become even more troublesome.

Yuan Li walked briskly down the path, impatient to stir this matter into turmoil.

At this time, Yuan Chu also helplessly rubbed his forehead, then looked at Lin Qian: "Actually, you needn't bother, such trivial matters I can withstand."

"Now, it's truly troublesome; when the time comes, grandfather... will think I'm toying with him, and inevitably, there will be a beating and punishment for me," said Yuan Chu, feeling distressed, "Moreover, my greatest fear is that he would forbid me from participating in the trial."

"Forbid from participating in the trial?" Lin Qian was puzzled; what connection was there between these two matters?

"He'll think that the people I found are just trivial, not qualified to proceed with the trial," Yuan Chu sighed in despair.

Seeing Yuan Chu in this state, Lin Qian chuckled: "You think I'd say such things if I weren't confident?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Chu looked up abruptly towards Lin Qian, somewhat enlightened by his words.

Following that, his pupils contracted, incredulously looking at Lin Qian, then turning towards Zhuge Ming: "Impossible!"

"Why impossible? Zhuge Ming, what's your assurance in repairing the Yuan family's array?" At this time, Lin Qian turned to Zhuge Ming and inquired.

Zhuge Ming frowned, gazed to the heavens as if he could see through the Yuan family's array, then spoke: "This array, indeed, is remarkable, with its merits, but repairing it would still be quite effortless."

"Effortless?" Yuan Chu looked at Zhuge Ming incredulously, doubting his words.

When the family array was destroyed and pinned on him, his grandfather was furious, harshly punishing him, completely losing his former affectionate demeanor.

Moreover, none of the array masters within the family could repair the array.

They'd considered inviting top-notch array masters, however, these masters were elusive like divine dragons, difficult to locate.

Additionally, with the ruined family array being confidential, the Yuan family couldn't openly seek help, greatly delaying progress.

Yet Zhuge Ming before him claimed repairing the array is effortless?
