I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon?

Chapter 351 - 350: Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array

As the black dot receded into the distance, the Beast God’s figure vanished into the rain.

"That guy definitely won’t let this go."

In the drizzling rain, Qin Yang watched him leave with a cold expression. A branching bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the contours of his face.

Having now broken through to the Middle Stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm, he no longer feared the Beast God’s power.

The Star Array gave him the power to challenge anyone in the Celestial Venerable Realm...

Coupled with several of his Clones at the Early Stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm, it was enough to blast the Beast God and send him reeling.

But that wasn’t the main point. What truly concerned Qin Yang was that these methods alone were still far from enough to kill the Beast God...

He fell into contemplation.

The Blood Dao Laws were too sinister and difficult to deal with.

Even if he couldn’t win a fight, the Beast God could use them to escape.

All things considered, completely killing him would be incredibly difficult.

’No wonder the powerful experts of the Human Race could only seal him back then,’ Qin Yang lamented inwardly. ’It was probably because they had no way to kill him. If it comes to that... I can only follow the example of my predecessors.’

With this in mind, he pulled himself from his thoughts, took out his phone, and sent messages to Lin Mofeng and Liu Wushuang respectively, asking them to come over when they had a moment.

Lin Mofeng was backed by a network of influence in the Imperial Capital, while Liu Wushuang was a retired elder of the Venerable Alliance who knew many of its secrets.

With the two of them by his side, he was confident he could get the information he needed!

...

...

By the time he returned home, the sky had completely darkened.

Just as he opened the door, Qin Yang saw Xiaobai sprawled on the sofa, her fluffy tail swaying gently. Her legs were kicked up behind her as she scrolled idly through her phone, looking utterly bored.

"Master, you’re back?"

Seeing Qin Yang come in, Xiaobai immediately scampered over with a silly grin. "I’ve got something cool to show you!"

"What is it?"

Qin Yang walked over and sat on the sofa, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his right hand. He was still thinking about killing the Beast God. "Don’t take too long..."

"Hehe... I won’t!"

Xiaobai grinned, and like a magician revealing a trick, she handed over her phone with her small hand covering the screen. "Hehe, it won’t take long, Master."

"Look!"

He took the phone and looked.

It was a magnificent statue of a man—the very same commemorative statue the city had commissioned for Qin Yang. Time had passed, and the project was now complete.

Wielding a sword and standing on a pedestal, its features handsome and dashing, it was located right in the city center.

It had attracted countless citizens who came to gaze upon it in admiration.

And at the foot of the sculpture was another statue: a small fox. Its tail was curled up, looking charmingly naive as it also enjoyed the citizens’ attention.

"..."

Glancing at the little Xiaobai statue at the bottom, Qin Yang was speechless.

’This is it?’

’Xiaobai had been obsessed with this, and she actually managed to make it happen.’

"So, Master? It looks good, right?!"

Xiaobai pinched the screen to zoom in on the details, pointing at the nine bundles of fox tails. "This statue isn’t bad. It just barely does justice to this Fairy’s beauty."

"Tsk, whatever you say."

Qin Yang yawned and rolled his eyes in boredom.

Just then,

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

a knock sounded from the other side of the door.

"Young Master? It’s us."

It was the voices of Liu Wushuang and Lin Mofeng.

"Come on in!"

Qin Yang shouted toward the door, then told Xiaobai to prepare some snacks in the kitchen. Liu Wushuang and Lin Mofeng walked in as the storm continued to rage outside.

The aftershocks from the battle between Celestial Venerables had already spread throughout Jianghai City.

"Young Master, why have you summoned us this time?"

Liu Wushuang sat on the sofa, his hands clasped around his knees. He gazed nervously at the downpour outside. "Has the Beast God attacked again?"

Hearing this, Lin Mofeng, who was sitting to the side, lifted his teacup and blew on it to cool it down.

But inwardly, he was just as anxious.

"Don’t be nervous. I just called you here to ask about a few things."

Seeing their reactions, Qin Yang didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "I was just wondering... have either of you heard how the ancient sages of our Human Race sealed the Beast God back then?"

"Seal the Beast God?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mofeng’s expression changed instantly. "Young Master, what a coincidence. You’ve asked the right person. I just returned from a trip to the Lin Family estate a couple of days ago and obtained something related to the Beast God... You can take a look."

With that said, he took out a yellowed, hard tablet and placed it gently on the table. At first glance, it looked like a piece of tortoise shell, its surface covered in dense, tadpole-like markings.

"This is?" Qin Yang gave the rubbing a quick glance.

The rubbing was made from an oval-shaped piece of tortoise plastron. Its edges were covered in cracks, indicating great age, yet the Array Patterns remained clear.

Interconnecting grooves crisscrossed its surface, carved inch by inch with a blade, exuding an extraordinary aura filled with ancient charm.

"This is a rubbing of an Ancient Technique left behind by a sage of the Human Race."

Lin Mofeng ran a finger over the Array Map, explaining slowly, "When the Venerable Alliance disbanded, a senior who was on good terms with the Lin Family entrusted this to us. I was planning to find a time to give it to you, but now is the perfect opportunity."

"I never thought those old geezers would actually give this to you."

Before Qin Yang could speak, Liu Wushuang, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow with a surprised expression.

In recent years, the Lin Family of the Imperial Capital had grown increasingly prosperous, attracting the attention of many powerful factions.

Now, with the dissolution of the Venerable Alliance, it was every man for himself. Many had even absconded with valuables from the alliance, creating a sense that they were splitting up the family assets.

"Let me see."

Qin Yang took the rubbing with one hand, his gaze sweeping over the Array Patterns inch by inch.

In just a few breaths, every detail seemed to come alive. The array lines transformed into swimming ink dragons that surged into his Divine Sense.

The entire Sealing God Array was imprinted in his mind.

After memorizing it with his Heaven-defying Comprehension, Qin Yang nodded in satisfaction. But he wasn’t fully sated. He looked at Lin Mofeng and asked, "What else? Is there more?"

In that brief moment, he had already sensed a great deal.

’This Sealing God Array is no simple matter!’

’If I could obtain more Ancient Arrays, it would be all the better!’

"My apologies, Young Master."

Lin Mofeng said with some regret, "The Lin Family only has this one rubbing. We don’t have any others."

As he spoke, he turned to Liu Wushuang. "However, Senior here is also an elder of the Venerable Alliance. He might have more."

As soon as he finished speaking, both Lin Mofeng and Qin Yang turned to look at Liu Wushuang.

"...Me?"

Hearing the conversation turn to him, Liu Wushuang scratched his head, looking a bit troubled. He pondered for a moment, recalling the past:

"This subordinate once read about it in an ancient text. The great war five hundred years ago was brutal. Those experts from the Upper Realm invaded the mortal world en masse. To fight back, our Venerable Alliance played every card we had, sealing them only after immense hardship."

"And for each of those experts from the Upper Realm, the Human Race had a corresponding sealing Array. I still vaguely remember the Dharma Gate used to seal the Beast God..."

"I think it was called..."

Mulling it over, Liu Wushuang suddenly slapped his forehead, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"The Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array!"

The words had barely been spoken.

"The Eight-direction Demon Suppression Array?"

Qin Yang put down his teacup with a GULP, his expression one of shock!

As a sudden clap of thunder echoed outside, he felt as if he had just found a glimmer of hope!
