The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1773: Big Formation

Roar, roar.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before a monster crawled out, and soon after, more monsters climbed up from the Heavenly Chasm, densely packed, looking terrifying. Their sharp claws and mouths full of pointed teeth are their weapons. Ye Shikai also noticed blood stains on the ground, but the corpses of those slain cultivators were completely gone, probably devoured by these monsters.

"Soul Blade, do you think if we feed these monsters enough, they won’t eat people?" Ye Shikai suddenly proposed a rather "naive" idea.

"I wouldn’t know. There are so many monsters that even if we threw everyone down to feed them, it might still not be enough. Why don’t you try it?"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything," Ye Shikai joked.

Thousands of monsters began to gather. They had no formation, and naturally, Ye Shikai didn’t believe they possessed advanced intelligence like humans; their only instinct was to hunt.

Ye Shikai found a safe spot to hide and began observing. When the monsters saw the cultivators forming an "alliance," they started approaching them, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"Everyone, don’t panic—prepare to meet the enemy." Zheng Li commanded the thousands of cultivators from various families to begin deploying the array according to the previous plan. The terrain here was flat, and if these monsters charged, nothing could stop them. They would surely be unstoppable. But similarly, such a terrain was suitable for array deployment. Cultivators lacked sharp claws and teeth, and their physical strength was far inferior to those monsters. Faced with such an assault, using the array was undoubtedly an excellent choice.

All families began deploying arrays, emitting extremely dazzling light. Ye Shikai vaguely felt the ground tremble as several light walls rose. Ye Shikai had fought against countless cultivators, but seeing so many people forming arrays simultaneously was a first for him, and the scene was incredibly astounding.

"You must not underestimate the arrays these people have set up," Soul Blade suddenly said.

"What, is there something miraculous about them?"

"If you say there is something miraculous, there isn’t much. Every family has its own array, and most are powerful. In the face of so many monsters, these families haven’t held back and have used their best skills. But the most remarkable part is Zheng Li."

"Senior Zheng." Ye Shikai followed his gaze to see Zheng Li standing among the people, hands gently waving. Ye Shikai could feel that where he stood was the "peak" of all the energy.

"Soul Blade, what is Senior Zheng doing?"

"Smelly brat, you don’t understand the way of arrays, so naturally you don’t know. On the surface, each family is deploying its arrays, and these twenty-plus arrays seem to be fighting separately. But in reality, all the arrays are under Zheng Li’s control," Soul Blade explained.

"What does this mean?"

"In fact, all the arrays are in the hands of Zheng Li alone. If you view the scattered twenty-plus arrays as one Big Formation, then the person deploying it is Zheng Li."

"I see." Ye Shikai exclaimed in awe. Each array deployed by a family was initiated by hundreds, even thousands of people, with immense power. For Zheng Li to be able to "link" these twenty-plus arrays into a more stable and astounding Big Formation, his mastery in array techniques must have reached the pinnacle of perfection.

"Arrays need energy to be maintained, and a stable array must maintain its internal energy stability. Here, there are twenty-eight families, each with different numbers and strengths, meaning their energy naturally differs. The position where Zheng Li stands is where all the array energy converges, and he alone stabilizes the energy of the entire Big Formation. I’ve lived for thousands of years, but those able to achieve this are as rare as phoenix feathers," Soul Blade also admired Zheng Li’s strength. Perhaps his cultivation and Martial Force might not be the highest, but his research and mastery of arrays were unparalleled among those present.

By controlling the energy between each array, Zheng Li achieved the balance of the entire Big Formation, akin to simultaneously holding twenty-eight bowls of water and ensuring all the water remains evenly...

Monsters surged toward the front of the array like waves, and in the blink of an eye, firelight, lightning, Ice Soul—each array seemed to contain an element. The monsters that approached were instantly slain within the arrays.

"Goodness, it’s so powerful!" Ye Shikai could imagine how strong the energy within the arrays was. Twenty-eight families, nearly ten thousand people deploying simultaneously—this kind of "spectacle" was rare.

"Such a powerful array is simply invincible."

"Smelly brat, broaden your perspective. Even the strongest giant has its weaknesses. This array, while immensely powerful, is not unbreakable."

"How can it be broken?"

"Do you remember the method I taught you?" Soul Blade pointedly asked.

"To break an array, you must find the Array Eye. Once you find the Array Eye, you can break the array."

"Exactly," Soul Blade continued to ask, "So where do you think the Array Eye of this Big Formation is?"

"Since Senior Zheng balances the energy of the entire array by himself, if anything happens to him, the energy of the whole array will instantly become unstable and naturally break. Therefore, the Array Eye is Zheng Li."

"Indeed. If Zheng Li dies, the array will naturally break. But these monsters lack high-level thinking and can’t discern Zheng Li is the key to the array. They only know to charge forward, so unless their numbers are truly infinite, they’re merely rushing to their deaths."

At this point, Ye Shikai finally understood why Zheng Li was confident to be the "Alliance Hierarch." He truly had a strategy for defeating enemies and the ability to do so. Ye Shikai once thought he was stronger than most cultivators, but now he realized he was too short-sighted; these "old monsters," each had their exceptional skills.

"Smelly brat, don’t forget your objective!" Soul Blade suddenly exclaimed.

"Almost forgot," Ye Shikai slapped his forehead, the array was too awe-inspiring, and it momentarily made him forget the reason he came here.

While the monsters were rushing out to attack, Ye Shikai quietly slipped past to a place unnoticed by others.

"Soul Blade, you’d better be right, otherwise if I get caught in the suction, I’ll die, and so will you," Ye Shikai took a deep breath and murmured.

"Don’t worry, I can’t feel the suction anymore," Soul Blade was very certain, allowing Ye Shikai to relax. He backed up ten meters, activated his Inner Strength, and charged forward.

Jump.

The distance between the two shores was nearly a hundred meters. For an ordinary person, attempting to jump over was absolutely impossible. But cultivators, with Inner Strength and Qinggong, should be enough to leap across.
