All the way until the hour of the night, these people couldn't wait to see if the windows or doors could be opened.
However, when they tried to open the windows, the result was the same. The windows didn't move at all.
After trying many times, they still couldn't open it, so they ran to the first floor and tried to open the doors.
Naturally, the result was the same as yesterday. The doors didn't move at all.
"It still doesn't work. We can't even open the doors and windows!" Everyone said in disappointment.
"Do we have to wait until tomorrow to try again?" Seeing that they still couldn't open the doors and windows today, everyone became even more anxious. They had a feeling that they didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.
It was fine if they left earlier. If they stayed here and waited for an opportunity, they might not have a chance to escape again.
"That's the only thing we can do now. Didn't I say it yesterday? They might only be locked for a few days, so don't be anxious.
Don't lose your composure because of a temporary predicament. That won't do us any good.
As long as everyone is patient for a few days, the situation might become much simpler. So, we don't have to be anxious at all! "Yin Tianzong saw that everyone's emotions were very unstable, so he quickly comforted everyone.
After staying here for another day, he, Xu Shouwang, and the others tried their best to find the spell formation mechanism in the tower. However, after searching for a day, they still didn't find anything.
To be honest, he didn't have any confidence in finding the spell formation mechanism now.
So, he didn't have an excuse to persuade everyone to look for the spell formation mechanism. After all, everyone's safety was a problem now. Who would have the mood to look for the spell formation mechanism?
Even if they found the spell formation mechanism, if the doors and windows of the tower were still locked, they still wouldn't be able to leave.
"I can't care so much. Even if I really can't get out, I have to at least try first!" Qiao An didn't care about the consequences. Before anyone could react, he punched the window in front of him.
"No!" Xu Shouwang was also shocked by Qiao An's action. If he punched, it would definitely cause a lot of commotion. It might even attract the Cheng family over.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the entire wall of the tower revealed a stream of light.
"This is … a spell formation?" Seeing this, everyone was instantly stunned.
"We're not locked, we're sealed by a formation!" At this moment, everything became very clear. They weren't locked in the tower by the Cheng Family. They were clearly sealed in the tower by the Cheng Family using an array formation.
"So they really know that we broke into the tower? That's why he used an array formation to seal us? "Song Quan exclaimed.
"This pagoda is an extremely important secret of the Cheng Clan. It could even be considered a forbidden area. Since it was a forbidden area, it was normal for there to be some array formations set up here.
Therefore, it is not necessarily the case that we were discovered by the Cheng Clan, and then they used an array formation to seal us. It's also possible that the sealing formation in this pagoda automatically activated the moment we entered it. " Xu Shouwang looked at the slowly disappearing stream of light, constantly looking around, and analyzed to everyone.
"But this is only your guess. You can't be sure if the Cheng family really doesn't know that we broke into the tower!" Tao Wensheng said.
"That's right, this is indeed only my guess. However, I've encountered a similar situation before, so I don't think there's any difference.
Moreover, if the Cheng Clan really knows of our existence, why haven't they come to capture us after so long? "Xu Shouwang asked in return.
"Who knows? Perhaps now is the period of the Cheng Clan's grand competition, so the Cheng Clan doesn't want too many people to know about this.
If they wait until the Cheng Clan's grand competition is over, they will make a move on us! "Tao Wensheng hesitated for a moment before explaining.
"I think Brother Tao is right. This pagoda has such an important secret, the Cheng Clan definitely doesn't want too many people to know about it.
Therefore, they only want to use an array formation to seal us in the pagoda. Once the participants of the grand competition leave the Cheng Clan, the Cheng Clan will naturally have time to deal with us!
We have to think of a way to escape before the Cheng Clan's grand competition ends. Otherwise, we will definitely die a horrible death. "The more Qiao An spoke, the more afraid he became. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"But there's an array formation sealing this place. Even if we can break out, the commotion won't be small!" Li Yun said worriedly.
Now, they finally understood why a lock could lock the doors and windows so tightly. People like them actually pulled and pulled, but the doors and windows didn't budge at all. It turned out that this wasn't a lock, but a result of the array formation.
Fortunately, Qiao An had tried it out in excitement just now. Only then did they know that this place wasn't a lock, but an array formation.
Otherwise, if they really waited for the Cheng Clan's grand competition to end, they could only become meat on the Cheng Clan's chopping board and be at their mercy.
However, there was still the biggest problem now. Even if they knew that there was an array formation sealing them here, wanting to leave without alerting the Cheng Clan was indeed a very troublesome problem.
"Just now, Brother Qiao's palm strike made quite a sound, but it didn't seem to attract the Cheng Clan's attention. Why don't we go all out and take a gamble?
We're currently in the array formation, but it doesn't seem to attract the Cheng Clan's attention. Why don't we go all out and take a gamble?
He was really afraid now. Staying in this pagoda was really too unsafe. If they continued to stay here, they would be exposed when the time came.
"This definitely won't work. Since this array formation was specially set up by the Cheng Clan to deal with intruders, even without trying, we know that this array formation won't be broken so easily. Otherwise, what's the point of them setting up such an array formation?" Yin Tianzong retorted.
In reality, it wasn't just Song Quan. Even Xu Shouwang, Yin Tianzong, and Guo Feiyu had become especially worried.
Now that the array formation was right in front of them, if they wanted to rush out, they had to forcefully break the array formation.
But was this array formation really that easy to break? He didn't think it would be that easy.
Obviously, the Cheng Clan had already expected all of this. Not only was the array formation in the pagoda hidden very well, but even if they wanted to escape after entering the pagoda, it wouldn't be an easy task.
At least this array formation had the intention of trapping them.
"Then Brother Yin, do you have any good ideas to let us escape this pagoda quickly and safely?" Tao Wensheng was really regretting now.
If he had known this would happen, he really wouldn't have listened to these people.
Originally, he thought that they really had a foolproof plan and could easily obtain the secrets of this pagoda, even helping them to quickly increase their cultivation realms.
Who knew that things would turn out like this.
Now, they really couldn't call for help even if they wanted to. They couldn't break out, but they couldn't stay either. They could only wait here to be caught alive by the Cheng Clan.
"To be honest, in this situation, I really don't have any good ideas. But I know that if you really intend to break the array formation and get out, I think even if you really manage to get out, you will only be caught by the Cheng Clan. "Yin Tianzong shook his head and said helplessly.
If he really had a good idea, he would have gone out last night. Why did he have to wait until today?
However, although he was also very worried, he understood that there was no point in being anxious. It would only cause everyone to panic and do something even more unreliable.
Perhaps their current situation wasn't too good, but at least they hadn't been caught by the Cheng Clan yet.
However, if they were to force their way out, the chances of being caught would be very high.
"In that case, we definitely can't just sit here and wait for death. Once the Cheng Clan has time to deal with us, none of us will be able to get out of here alive!" Li Yun said anxiously.
Yesterday, they thought that the doors and windows of this pagoda were only locked by the Cheng Clan. If that was the case, it might really be like what Yin Tianzong said, and it wouldn't matter if they waited here for a while.
However, now that they knew that this was the Cheng Clan using an array formation to trap them in the pagoda, could they still calmly wait for the Cheng Clan to break the array formation?
That was obviously impossible.
If the Cheng Clan really wanted to break the array formation, it would be time for them to be caught.
"What other ideas do we have now? There's a path of survival and a path of death. We can't care so much about the path of survival. Even if it will expose us, we can only break the array formation and rush out.
The path of death is to wait for the Cheng Clan's competition to end and let the Cheng Clan catch us. Otherwise, can you still hope that the array formation will break on its own? "Tao Wensheng was already very impatient.
He didn't want to wait aimlessly anymore, because there was no longer any meaning to it.
After all, this array formation couldn't be broken on its own. If they wanted to get out, they had to break the array formation.
"It's definitely impossible to break it on our own, but if we force our way in, what if we attract the Cheng Clan and even the Cheng Clan's Patriarch? Do you think we can escape from the Cheng Clan's territory? "Yin Tianzong said.
"If I knew this would happen, I shouldn't have followed you in!" Qiao An said regretfully.
At this time, it wasn't just Qiao An. It could be said that everyone thought the same.
They originally thought that their cultivation realm would improve qualitatively here, but they didn't expect that not only would their strength improve, but they would also be trapped in the pagoda. It was really too late for regrets!
"What's the point of saying this now? I already said that it wouldn't be easy to enter this place, but did anyone listen? "Tao Wensheng's words were actually filled with complaints towards Xu Shouwang and the others.
If they hadn't been enticing everyone, they wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to break into the pagoda.
Now, not only did they not find the secret of the pagoda, but they were also trapped. Just thinking about it made them angry.
