NOVEL NEXT Chapter 118: Those Two Kids are Missing?
Chu Xin stared at the Magic Array Barrier in front of her, lost in thought, as the treasures her father had given her were numerous and searching through them took some time.
A moment later, her large eyes hidden under the phoenix-shaped mask suddenly lit up, and she cheerfully exclaimed, "Found it."
The next moment, a talisman appeared in her hand.
"Melt Array Talisman, it's your turn."

Chu Xin muttered softly, sticking the talisman onto the Magic Array Barrier.
Hum!
A strange wave of energy rippled, vibrating at a bizarre frequency on the surface of the Magic Array Barrier.
The so-called Melt Array Talisman was designed to identify the vibration frequency of the energy on the Magic Array Barrier and integrate with it to open a passable magic array passage.
This Melt Array Talisman could only be effective at the weak points of the Magic Array Barrier, so it had to be used in conjunction with a Magic Array Compass.
"Let's go!"
Chu Xin waved her petite, snowy hand and strode forward with her head held high, like a triumphant female general.
Chu Chen, holding the Dragon Tail of a two-headed piglet, also stepped into the Magic Array Passage.
After the two and the pig entered, the Magic Array Passage closed behind them.
"Are we not allowed to rest anymore?"
The Heavenly Prides wanted to close their eyes and rest to prepare for the upcoming battle for Stone Milk, but even with their eyes shut and hearing blocked, the image of those two mischievous kids, sticking out their butts and swinging pickaxes to dig the soil, persisted in their minds and would not fade away.
"It's really bizarre."
The Heavenly Prides looked at each other, speechless.
"By the way, how deep did those two mischievous kids dig? Why is there no sound at all?"
One of the Heavenly Prides asked curiously.
How deep?
That was a good question.
The Heavenly Prides extended their thoughts to investigate but discovered that the ground in Divine Saber Valley had some special energy that suppressed their thoughts, making it impossible to probe underground.
"Shall we follow them down and see?"
One of the Heavenly Prides suggested.
Although most of the Heavenly Prides showed no interest, a few were curious and entered the hole, one after another.
"Oh my, these two mischievous kids really are persistent. They must have dug hundreds of feet deep."
The Heavenly Prides who entered the hole walked for a long time before reaching the bottom and couldn't help but admire the perseverance of the two kids.
"Right, where are those two mischievous kids?"
The Heavenly Prides looked at each other perplexedly.
Now that they had reached the end of the hole, the Magic Array Barrier was right in front of them, but they saw no sign of the two children.
"Could it be that they entered the magic array?"
After one of the Heavenly Prides touched the Magic Array Barrier and tried looking inside, they were blocked by the barrier and couldn't see anything inside.
"Impossible, the barrier is still in place, indicating the array is unbroken, they couldn't have entered." One of the Heavenly Prides dismissed the guess.
"Let's head back to the surface first," another suggested.
"Alright!"
The group followed the passage back to the surface and reported the disappearance of the two mischievous children to everyone.
"Perhaps they used a Space Transmission Talisman to teleport directly inside?" suggested one Heavenly Pride.
"Space Transmission Talismans come in two types, one is random teleportation, and the other is fixed-point teleportation. Random teleportation is uncertain, you never know where it will send you. Fixed-point teleportation requires the spatial coordinates of the destination, and since the Array isolates the inside from the outside, it's clear they couldn't have obtained the internal spatial coordinates," one of the Heavenly Prides quickly dismissed the speculation.
"Most importantly, this is an Ancient Magic Array. Even if one tried to use a Space Transmission Talisman to teleport directly in, even a Holy Level Talisman likely wouldn't work. Unless those two rascals had an Emperor Level Talisman."
"Emperor Level Talisman? Even for a Talismanic Seal Holy Land like the Divine Talisman Sect, they are rare, and I've never heard of the Divine Talisman Sect having such two rascals among their Heavenly Prides. Other talismanic forces probably couldn't produce an Emperor Level Talisman either."
"Moreover, if there were an Emperor Level Talisman, why would there be a need to dig tunnels? They could just teleport directly at the entrance of the Stone Milk Cave."
The group of Heavenly Prides discussed animatedly.
"If that's the case, where did those two rascals go?"
As soon as this was mentioned, the group of Heavenly Prides fell silent.
Qin Tian and his group, along with Long Shaoyu's group, glanced at each other, each harboring a bold speculation that those two rascals might indeed have crossed the Magic Array Barrier and entered the Stone Milk Cave.
Though this speculation was incredible, they somehow felt it might be true.
Whenever something unbelievable happened to those two rascals, it seemed to make perfect sense.
"Everyone, shall we join forces to break this Magic Array Barrier?" Fu Yunxiao, after hesitating, stepped forward and proposed.
He was almost certain that the two rascals had entered the Stone Milk Cave, and knowing those two bandit-like youngsters, they would definitely plunder all the Stone Milk inside.
If they waited for the Magic Array Barrier to open normally, not only would they not get any Divine Sword Milk, but they wouldn't even secure a drop of ordinary Stone Milk.
To seize the Stone Milk, even the Divine Sword Milk, they had to enter the Stone Milk Cave ahead of time.
However, his suggestion did not receive the support of the Heavenly Prides.
Instead, the Heavenly Prides looked at Fu Yunxiao as if he were a fool; this was an Ancient Magic Array from the Ancient Divine Realm, designed to withstand the attacks of gods.
Even though many years had passed and the Array had weakened countless times, it was not something they, being Martial Venerates and a couple of young Martial Saints, could breach.
The one who came up with such a suggestion must have had his brain trampled by a pig.
Seeing the expressions of the Heavenly Prides, Fu Yunxiao could only sheepishly sit back down, furiously thinking to himself, "Wait until we go inside and find the Stone Milk gone; let's see if you can still remain so calm then."
"These three look somewhat familiar."
Long Shaoyu glimpsed Fu Yunxiao's group and furrowed his brow slightly.
"Young master, they were also at the Divine Sword Pavilion earlier," reminded the young man with the square face.
Previously at the Divine Sword Pavilion, Long Shaoyu's attention had been focused on Hua Wuqing and Lang Tianya. He had merely glanced over the other Heavenly Prides.
The young man with the square face and the young man holding a bow, however, had their attention on the other Heavenly Prides and were naturally more familiar with Fu Yunxiao and his companions.
Long Shaoyu nodded understandly and said softly, "That guy seems very certain that those two rascals have already entered the Stone Milk Cave. These three seem quite familiar with those two rascals."
He thought for a bit, then led the young man with the square face and the bowman over to Fu Yunxiao and his companions.
"May I know your name?" Long Shaoyu asked, clasping his fists.
"Long..."
Upon seeing Long Shaoyu, Fu Yunxiao and his companions were shocked and hurriedly started to rise to pay their respects; after all, this was one of the four great young Sword Saints, the Flame Sword Saint Long Shaoyu.
Although Long Shaoyu was wearing a mask and his face was hidden from others, Fu Yunxiao and his companions had seen him at the Divine Sword Pavilion, where Long Shaoyu had fought a great battle with Hua Wuqing and Lang Tianya, so they knew his identity.
"Shush!"
Long Shaoyu gestured with his hand, clearly not wanting to reveal his identity here.
Catching on, Fu Yunxiao corrected himself, "Young Master, I am Fu Yunxiao from the Demon Saber Sect in Lanzhou."
"So, you are a Heavenly Pride from the Demon Saber Sect of Lanzhou."
Long Shaoyu realized, knowing that although Lanzhou was the weakest among the Jiuzhou, he was acquainted with the major forces there and knew that the Demon Saber Sect was one of the top powers in Lanzhou.
