Chapter 17: Traps and Breakthroughs

    The shaking of the Law Array caused the entire hall to become chaotic. Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen quickly stood back-to-back, alertly staring at their surroundings. The laughter of the mysterious black-clad man echoed in the hall, making people feel chills.

    "Do you think that just by using this Law Array, you can confine us?" Feng Wuhen asked coldly, tightening the sword in his hand.

    The voice of the man in black contained a hint of derision: "This Law Array is not just to trap you; it also absorbs your spiritual energy to enhance my power."

    Li Yunfan felt the spiritual energy within him beginning to stir, as if truly being drawn by the Law Array. He immediately activated "Xing Chen Jue," attempting to stabilize his spiritual energy.

    "Don't waste your effort; this Law Array is specifically designed to counter cultivators." The man in black seemed to have seen through their intentions.

    However, at this very moment, Li Yunfan suddenly realized that the shaking of the Law Array seemed to coincide with a certain rhythm within "Xing Chen Jue." A thought crossed his mind, and he began to attempt to synchronize his spiritual energy with the shaking of the Law Array.

    "What are you doing?" Feng Wuhen noticed Li Yunfan's abnormality.

    "I have a plan, but I need your help," Li Yunfan whispered.

    Feng Wuhen nodded, indicating his willingness to cooperate. Li Yunfan began guiding Feng Wuhen's sword energy with his own star power, forming a special energy fluctuation.

    "Resonance of Stars, Resonance of Sword Qi!" Li Yunfan roared, and he and Feng Wuhen simultaneously launched an attack. The two forces met at the center of the Law Array, producing a powerful resonance effect.

    The Law Array's vibration suddenly intensified, causing the entire hall to tremble. The man in black's laughter stopped abruptly, as he seemed unprepared for this situation.

    "Impossible!" The man in black exclaimed.

    However, the shaking of the Law Array did not stop; instead, it grew stronger and stronger. Finally, in a massive explosion, the Law Array was completely destroyed. The spiritual energy in the hall scattered in all directions, and the figure of the man in black became intermittently visible amidst the chaos.

    "You... you actually destroyed my Law Array!" The man in black's voice was filled with anger and disbelief.

    Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen did not respond. They immediately seized the opportunity to attack the man in black. Although the man in black was powerful, his strength was clearly weakened after the Law Array was destroyed.

    After a fierce battle, the man in black was finally defeated by Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen teaming up. His mask was blown away during the fight, revealing a wrinkled and ferocious face.

    "You... you won't get away with this. The power of the Black Wind Sect is much greater than you can imagine," the man in black venomously said in his last moments.

    Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen did not heed his threat. They began searching the stone fortress, hoping to find more information about the Black Wind Sect. They discovered some documents and maps in a hidden room, which recorded many secret plans and strongholds of the Black Wind Sect.

    "It seems that the power of the Black Wind Sect really spreads everywhere." Feng Wuhen looked at the documents in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed.

    Li Yunfan nodded, "We must pass this information to other cultivators as soon as possible so that they can be on high alert."

    They decided to bring these documents back to their village and then consider how to unite other cultivators against the Black Wind Sect.

    On their way back to the village, Li Yunfan and Feng Wuhen both felt an unprecedented sense of urgency. They knew that the struggle against the Black Wind Sect had only just begun...
