"What is he doing?"
"Is he going to play the zither?"
"Hmph! Has he not even noticed our arrival?"
...
Seeing this situation, the Experts of the Three Great Empires couldn't help but frown.
On one hand, they felt the situation below was very bizarre; on the other hand, they had some doubts in their hearts about this so-called Expert, Quinn Ye.
"There seems to be absolutely no Spiritual Qi fluctuation on this person's body."
"Correct. Not only is there no Spiritual Qi fluctuation, but even his vitality is so weak."
"Too weak. This is just an ordinary mortal."
"That's right, were we all deceived?"
...
The Experts of the Three Great Empires discussed fervently.
In their eyes, an otherworldly Expert who could control a True Dragon should at least have a fairy-like demeanor and an extraordinary bearing.
At the very least, he should be elegant and talented.
But looking at him now.
He was simply too ordinary.
Let alone some otherworldly Expert.
He looked exactly like an ordinary person who didn't know how to cultivate at all.
"Let's go down and test his depths."
Someone, holding this thought, was about to descend from the sky.
But right at this moment.
Quinn Ye started to play the zither seriously.
His expression became incomparably focused.
His hands gently rested on the zither strings.
The strings were plucked, and the melodious zither music flowed out slowly like running water.
In an instant.
Whether in the sky or on the ground, everyone who heard this zither music was stunned.
Too beautiful!
This was a zither melody they had never heard before.
As the zither music entered their ears, they only felt the vitality in their entire bodies surging along with it.
The zither melody Quinn Ye was playing was a famous piece from his original world, named "High Mountains and Flowing Water".
And at this moment, this famous piece was played from Quinn Ye's fingertips.
Sounding in this world for the very first time.
"This tune makes me feel as if I'm seeing a picturesque scroll of high mountains and flowing water!"
"More than just a scroll, I feel like I am personally situated amidst such mountains and waters."
"Based solely on his attainment in the Dao of the Zither, this person can be called a Grandmaster!"
"It's just a pity that knowing how to play the zither doesn't necessarily mean he's a martial arts Expert."
...
Everyone discussed one after another.
Although the zither melody was pleasant to hear, it didn't change everyone's first impression of Quinn Ye.
But the next moment.
The expressions of everyone in the sky changed.
Because the space they were in had actually turned into genuine high mountains and flowing water.
"What's going on?"
"Something's wrong!"
"This is a Formation!"
...
The crowd was continuously horrified.
They had actually, unknowingly, fallen into an extremely terrifying Array Formation.
Overlapping high mountains, streams flowing downstream.
The scenery was incredibly beautiful, but everyone situated within it couldn't find a way to break free at all.
It was as if they had been in this landscape from the very beginning.
"This person is too terrifying! He can actually use zither music to evolve a Formation!"
An old man said with a trembling voice.
This person was Simon Situ, a top Expert of the Star Cloud Empire, who also had quite a bit of research into zither music.
It was just that Simon Situ could never have imagined that someone could utilize zither music to such an extent.
Turning a tune into a Formation.
Trapping a sky full of Experts!
What kind of grand stroke is this?
"How do we get out?"
Someone spoke with a crying tone, deeply regretting coming along to wade into this muddy water.
"Wait. Perhaps the Formation will dissolve on its own only when this Expert finishes playing," Simon Situ said with a face full of bitterness.
He had also tried several times, wanting to break this Formation.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless.
He couldn't even find the traces of the Formation's changes and flow.
It was simply profoundly mysterious to the extreme.
The melodious zither music continued to come.
The Formation everyone was in became more and more realistic.
It even gave people a feeling that reality and illusion could no longer be distinguished.
Until the zither music came to an abrupt halt.
Only then did the crowd dazedly realize that they had already detached from that previous scene of high mountains and flowing water.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing the horror in each other's eyes.
Too scary!
Too terrifying!
With such a Formation, if he wanted to kill us, he could probably take our lives in an instant.
"High Mountains and Flowing Water is too easy; let's switch to 'Ambush from Ten Sides' and try."
Quinn Ye started plucking the zither strings again.
This time.
The melodious and mild zither music turned into the sonorous sound of slaughter.
Waves of zither music, murderous aura soaring to the heavens.
It made people feel as if they were placed in the trap and ambush of a great army.
Killing intent all around.
Swords and weapons all around.
It was already a dead end, waiting to be slaughtered with tied hands.
The scene before everyone's eyes changed again.
They saw countless soldiers holding swords and spears, completely expressionless, surrounding them.
The crowd wanted to escape.
But they couldn't escape at all.
They could only watch helplessly as the surrounding soldiers drew closer and closer.
That murderous aura surging from all directions also grew thicker and thicker.
Everyone was sweating profusely, and looks of fear surfaced on their faces.
The murderous intent within this zither music was too intense.
Coupled with this kind of Formation, it was simply suffocating.
Someone couldn't bear it anymore.
"Ah!!!"
Amidst a miserable scream, an Expert from the Phoenix Dance Empire spat out fresh blood, his face turning pale instantly.
Where there was a first, there was a second.
Soon, one Expert after another spat blood and screamed miserably.
Only a very small number of powerhouses with profound cultivation could barely hold on amidst this continuous sound of slaughter.
But they were also holding on with extreme difficulty; their faces were pale in bouts, and the vitality within their bodies tumbled endlessly.
Meanwhile.
The people from the Three Great Sects also arrived.
Before they even got close, they saw from afar a large group of people in mid-air who had fallen into a stupor.
Most of them were spitting blood.
"These are the martial artists of the Three Great Empires!"
Lance Xu frowned.
At this time, waves of zither music drifted over.
The people from the Three Great Sects also heard this zither music.
Instantly.
Just like the martial artists of the Three Great Empires, they also fell into the hallucination of the zither music one after another.
Until the zither music came to an abrupt halt.
Only then did everyone break free from the illusion.
Some people fell directly down.
Plop, plop!
Following that, a group of people fell down.
Only a very small number of people could barely maintain flying in the air.
"This person is too terrifying; we absolutely cannot be enemies with him!"
"Unpredictable means of gods and ghosts! Compared to him, we are like ants!"
"Flee quickly! He intentionally let us off the hook."
"Alas! I didn't expect that after cultivating for so many years, we are still so weak in the end."
...
The martial artists of the Three Great Empires were thoroughly terrified.
They all looked at Quinn Ye with fearful eyes.
At this moment, there was only one phrase in their hearts that could describe Quinn Ye.
Terrifying to this extent!
They were just short of gasping and sucking in a breath of cold air.
The people of the Three Great Empires were all guessing that this Expert had intentionally gone easy and didn't drive them to utter extinction.
Otherwise.
That slaughtering zither music just now would have been enough to kill them several times over.
Who would dare to stay here now?
And so.
Under the watchful eyes of Lance Xu and the people from the Three Great Sects, the martial artists of the Three Great Empires fled at the mere sight of the wind.
They didn't dare to stay here for even a moment longer.
"Did we come for nothing?"
Lance Xu and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.
