Austin was aware of the immense strength of the Heaven Palace, which would retaliate in a brutal manner. He immediately asked
his three subordinates, the Sect Supremo, Ricco-the leader of Heaven Pavilion Sect and the leader of the Wolf Gang to begin full
preparation against the imminent attack by the Heaven Palace. Austin and his men did not want to surrender to the Heaven Palace
under any circumstance. So a fight between the two parties would be inevitable.
All three of his subordinates were the leaders of their own sect. Naturally, they were excellent at dealing with such forbidding
attacks by enemies.
Besides, Austin was not the least bit interested in dealing with it. So, he simply let them take care of it.
He also knew very well that with the present strength of the Heaven Pavilion Sect, it did not matter how much preparation was
done because ultimately it would not be able to put up an equal fight against the powerful Heaven Palace. In other words, in the
upcoming battle, the Heaven Pavilion Sect would face a crushing defeat unless it had stronger support from elsewhere.
Therefore, as their suprleader, he had already thought of the final counterattacks that he would employ to kill those warriors
from the Heaven Palace at the beginning.
'If they still couldn't resist the fierce attacks of the Heaven Palace in the end, it would not be a big problem for me, ' thought
Austin. He would simply transport all his men to the City model by activating the teleportation power and get out of the Heaven
Pavilion Sect as fast as he could.
The City model was a special magical treasure which he always carried along with him. It was an immense space and even if it was
loaded with more than 100, 000 people, it would still be quite spacious.
Apart from the City, Austin also had another magical treasure—the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot, which could fly at a breathtaking
speed. If they escaped using it, no one could catch up with them.
With the two magical treasures as his final trump cards, Austin didn't have to be concerned about the upcoming battle.
Accompanied by Violet and the gnome, he began to walk around and soak in the sights at the headquarters of the Heaven Pavilion
Sect. The area had a total of eighteen beautiful green mountains. The three wandered around here and there, filled with absolute
joy.
After sightseeing for a while, Austin admitted to himself that the scenery at the headquarters of the Heaven Pavilion Sect was
indeed breathtaking.
The eighteen lush mountains had formed naturally. In fact, the formation of these mountains was based on a precise scientific
process over several millennia but Austin didn't really care about it because he had no interest in understanding that field. He only
saw that each of the mountains looked beautiful with its thick trees and bamboo. It also had countless waterfalls gushing from
every nook like a pastoral paradise.
The more attention Austin paid to them, the more he was captivated by their beauty.
"Master, it's so beautiful here. | just wish to live here quietly and continue my cultivation!"
It seemed like Violet had also grown very fond of this place.

As Austin watched and enjoyed the mountainous landscape before him, Fanny's grandfather, along with Fanny and a few other
disciples, flew towards him from the mountains in front of him.
"Austin, after two days of intense observation, | have cto realize that there is a mysterious force hidden in this area,
somewhere in these eighteen green mountains. Its reverberation is extraordinary. If activated properly, the mountains will be able
to form an array. Inside the array, they will echo with, cooperate with and even protect each other!"
Fanny's grandfather said to Austin, unable to disguise his childlike excitement about his latest discovery.
"Oh?
Is this really true?" Austin was stunned.
He had known nothing about the array deployment. He just thought the scenery of this place was pleasant and had imagined these
mountains to be ordinary.
He most certainly had not associated them with any kind of array.
So, upon hearing about the old man's discovery, he was a little taken aback.
But he was aware that the old man had achieved extraordinary feats by way of his research on all kinds of arrays. Moreover, he
was always thorough. He would never have told Austin about it if he was not sure about it. If he said so, then there really might be
a mystery hidden inside the headquarters of the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
"Well, Sir, could you explain more about this to me? | want to hear everything about it,"
Austin added with curiosity in his voice. Since their reverberations were extraordinary, he might be able to make good use of them
in the upcoming fight.
"I have learnt about this ancient array called the Eighteen Arhats Array from an ancient manuscript. This ancient array can be used
for both killing and defense, which is quite peculiar. It used to be a very famous array in ancient times.
However, the deployment of this ancient array is extremely difficult. Eighteen mountains are needed to suppress the eighteen eyes
of the array. Without this specific geographical condition, it is impossible to deploy such an array.
Because the Eighteen Arhats Array originally borrows the power of mountains and earth to deploy the array against the enemies, it
was gradually abandoned.
After | arrived at the headquarters of Heaven Pavilion Sect yesterday and | saw the eighteen green mountains, all | could think of
was the Eighteen Arhats Array.
| spent the last two days reasoning and calculating and I've finally cto the conclusion that the location of eighteen mountains
in this place is perfect enough to deploy the Eighteen Arhats Array!"
With every word he uttered, Fanny's grandfather grew more and more excited. You could see the frenzy that the discovery had
effected gleaming through his eyes.
"l used to believe that this Eighteen Arhats Array was just a myth. Practically I'd imagined it would be impossible to deploy it.
Because, in reality, it is extremely difficult to find eighteen mountains in the splace.
In addition, each mountain peak has to be in an exact position to meet the requirements of the array.
Unexpectedly, at this place, the eighteen mountain peaks exactly match these requirements for deploying the Eighteen Arhats
Array!
It is a miracle, indeed!
If any array expert knew about its existence, they would try their best to be here to research deeply about it!"
Fanny's grandfather continued feverishly. Meanwhile, he gazed at the eighteen green mountains in front of him in anticipation.
It was evident that he was obsessed with the study of arrays. Perhaps, it was this fact that made him stare fascinatedly at the
eighteen mountains.
"How powerful is this Eighteen Arhats Array?"
That was the key question on Austin's mind and the only thing he cared about at that moment. When he heard Fanny's
grandfather's words, he becvery active and his mind raced fast.
"How powerful?"
Ha-ha! This Eighteen Arhats Array makes use of the power of the mountains and earth cleverly. If it can be deployed successfully,
we don't need to be afraid of those warriors even at the stage of Tribulation Realm. The array will trap them,"
Fanny's grandfather said confidently.
"Wow, that's great! Can you deploy this Eighteen Arhats Array, Sir?"
Austin asked quickly. He was a little excited. If Fanny's grandfather really managed to deploy the Eighteen Arhats Array, it could be
of immense strategic importance and could help fight against the upcoming attacks of the Heaven Palace.
"Well...About that, Firstly, | only read about the array from an ancient manuscript. | have never seen its deployment before.
So as for your question, | am not sure about the answer yet.
Secondly, the deployment of the Eighteen Arhats Array requires a great amount of all kinds of resources, which is also a problem,"
Fanny's grandfather said with a slight hesitation.
"Well, | see now, Sir, wait for a moment! | will try to figure out a solution," Austin said.
For the first problem that Fanny's grandfather raised, he was not worried as he had great confidence in Fanny's grandfather, an
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexpert on arrays. For the second problem, he had to consider carefully. After a quick thought about the possible solutions of the
second problem, Austin delivered a message to the Sect Supreme, Ricco, and the leader of the Wolf Gang through his spiritual
sense force. He asked them to meet him immediately to have an emergency discussion.
The three subordinates presented themselves before him in an instant.
Austin then told the teverything about the Eighteen Arhats Array.
"Master, what... Do you mean?"
asked the Sect Suprwith hesitation.
"You three, talk to Fanny's grandfather and cup with an estimate of how much it will cost to deploy this Eighteen Arhats Array.
If the array can be deployed successfully, perhaps, the headquarters of the Heaven Pavilion Sect will be in safe under its
protection; otherwise, with our current strength, we will be forced to leave here sooner or later,"
Austin said slowly and seriously.
"Yes, master, you are quite right!
If this is the case, we have to deploy this array successfully even if it consumes all of our financial resources."
With the odds stacked against them, the three men all agreed with Austin's idea. Only such a powerful ace could help them out of
trouble.
"Master, | plan to go back to the Wolf Gang headquarters to bring all my men here.
Now, the Heaven Palace wants to conquer all the other forces within the Triangle Zone. Our Wolf Gang definitely will be its target
soon. After discussing with the Sect Supremo and Ricco, | have decided to bring all my men here. This way, all our forces will be
joint together to fight against the Heaven Palace!"
proposed the leader of the Wolf Gang suddenly to Austin.
"Well, that sounds like a good idea. You should carry it out immediately. But, be careful on your journey!"
Austin said and nodded. It was a good proposal indeed. Their chances of defeating the Heaven Palace would only get greater with
more men on their side.
The next day, Austin saw that Fanny's grandfather, followed by a large number of disciples from the Heaven Pavilion Sect, was
walking back and forth through the eighteen green mountains.
He was obviously much more interested in deploying the Eighteen Arhats Array than Austin was.
Austin was delighted to see that Fanny's grandfather was obsessed with the study of arrays. The fact was now that Fanny's
grandfather had found that this place was actually a perfect place for the deployment of an ancient array, he was overjoyed and
simply couldn't wait to study it. Now Austin had even more confidence that the array would be deployed successfully.
After wandering around for half a day, Austin had nothing else to do. He didn't want to idle his taway, so he returned to his
secret room and began his cultivation.
