"I didn't think it through." Ji Zhiyuan paused and cupped his fists, not used to it. "I changed my mind after I thought about the inconvenience. Sorry."
"Don't say that. Lady Zhi Yuan must have her reasons for doing things." Xue Tianya smiled. "What concerns do you have? Lady Zhi Yuan, please tell me so I can pay attention."
Ji Zhiyuan said, "It's a long journey and I can't sit in the carriage. Asking Brother Xue to protect me might cause misunderstandings. I sent someone to pass the message when I left. "
"Yes, a young lady came." Xue Tianya smiled bitterly. "She said some strange things but didn't mention anything about this."
"Yue Er is getting more and more impudent." Ji Zhiyuan's expression darkened.
"It's not her. She's a new face." Xue Tianya said.
"I told her before I left. She must have ordered someone else behind my back." Ji Zhiyuan frowned. "She had a pitiful life. Several of her closest relatives were persecuted one after another. She lacked discipline and neglected you, Brother Xue."
"She's so young and innocent. It's not easy for her to have such a complicated life." Xue Tianya waved his hand. "It's not that I neglected you. I have food and a house to live in in Town of Beginning. It's not easy for the young lady. Lady Zhi Yuan, please don't punish her. "
Then, he turned to Su Mutang and his wife. "Junior Xue Tianya greets Lord Su and Madam Su."
"I've heard of you. You're a disciple of the Dao Court. You're different from the others. You travel the world and are famous for being warm-hearted." Su Mutang returned the greeting with a smile.
"How did Great Hero Xue come here?" The Madam asked directly.
"When I came, Little Sword Peak Lord was fighting with Li Xueyi. He didn't stop me from entering," Xue Tianya said.
Ji Zhiyuan said, "Madam wants to ask Brother Xue how did you know we were trapped here."
Madam nodded with admiration in her eyes.
Xue Tianya's expression was gentle as he looked at Ji Zhiyuan and said, "I have been secretly observing the Demon Race since I came to the capital. I was also the first to discover that Lord Su and his wife were trapped in the Purgatory Array. Su Daren and his wife had always been famous in the capital, so how could I just sit back and do nothing? It just so happened that a grandmaster I knew was also in the capital, so I had my fellow disciples stay behind to keep an eye on them while I went to ask for advice on how to break the formation. Unexpectedly, before he could finish reviewing the lesson, someone came to report that Miss Zhi Yuan had barged into the Purgatory Formation. Thus, he did not dare to delay for even a moment. Only when I entered the formation and experienced it personally did I understand the dangers. Fortunately, I finally found Lady Zhi Yuan. "
"So you didn't come to save us husband and wife," the Madame said with a smile. "My heart was filled with gratitude, but I was wrong."
"It really isn't." Xue Tianya laughed, "As soon as the two of you were trapped, this junior went to look for you. Madam, you can't say that about me."
"That's enough, old woman. Great Hero Xue is here to save us. Why are you causing trouble?" Su Mutang pulled his wife to the side. While Xue Tianya was talking to Ji Zhiyuan, he pulled her further away and whispered into her ear, "You're really something. He's in love with you, so what does it have to do with you? Asking all sorts of questions, thinking that we're Lady Zhi Yuan's elders. That's not proper."
"You're the only sensible one." The Madame pinched the soft flesh on his waist. "This person has a good reputation, but I heard that he's very dissolute when it comes to women. Zhi Yuan is such a good child. She mustn't be harmed by this dissolute seed."
Su Mutang's face twitched in pain. "My dear old woman, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're not related to her at all. Why are you worrying so much? You'll only arouse her disgust."
The Madame let go of his hand and said proudly, "You're not as good as me in this. Zhi Yuan came to the capital on her own. She's clearly telling the other party, 'You have no chance.' Anyone with even the slightest bit of hope in their heart wouldn't be so resolute. Do you know what this means? "
"What?" Su Mutang asked.
"It means that Zhi Yuan doesn't like Great Hero Xue at all. It's very likely that her heart belongs to someone else. That's why she's using a straightforward method to reject the other party." The Madame was getting more and more excited as she spoke. "Old man, what kind of person do you think Zhi Yuan is hiding in her heart?"
"Stop guessing. Have you forgotten that we can be burned to death at any time?" Su Mutang said helplessly.
The Madame glared at him and pouted. However, she didn't say anything else in the end.
"Sir Su, Madame, please come over and take a look."
Xue Tianya took out a roll of paper from his bosom and spread it out for the three of them to see. He said, "The Great Master said that it's not difficult to break this Purgatory Formation. As long as we understand the positions of the 108 stars of the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends, it'll be a piece of cake. Because we came in a hurry, we only understood half of what the Great Master said. After we entered the formation, we realized that this formation only has 37 stars, which is more than enough. "
There was a star chart on the paper. There were a total of 108 stars, each represented by a rune. Under his simple explanation, the three of them were able to understand the star chart.
Of course, the paper was not ordinary. It was actually a treasure.
Thirty-seven of the runes were glowing red while the rest were gray in color.
"This star chart isn't something anyone can make!" Su Mutang said in shock. He was secretly guessing the Great Master's identity. No matter how he thought about it, that person was the only one who could be called a Great Master in the capital city.
"Yes, the Great Master just casually took one out and taught us juniors so much." Xue Tianya sighed. "The Great Master told me that once this star chart is connected to the formation, it will naturally enter the main pivot. It's very clear on the surface. The ones glowing red are the 37 formation eyes. As long as we guide them back to their positions and make them match with the stars in the sky, the Heavenly Fire won't be able to hurt us anymore."
He then said to Ji Zhiyuan, "Lady Zhi Yuan, please protect Sir Su and his wife when I break the formation later."
"That's the most important thing," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"When I break the formation, I won't be able to block the Heavenly Fire. I'll need Lady Zhi Yuan's help," Xue Tianya said.
"It's alright," Ji Zhiyuan said.
"Alright, once we break the formation, Lady Zhi Yuan, you must treat me to some wine." Xue Tianya laughed loudly and leaped into the air. He held the star chart in his hand and focused his mind. He used his finger to casually point at a formation eye and slide the rune to another star position.
During this process, the entire Purgatory Formation was shaking. It was obvious that a huge square formation was grabbed by an unparalleled divine power and thrown to another place. However, from afar, it looked like an illusory formation. After such a large scale migration, there was still no trace of it, as if it had always been like this.
"Lady Zhi Yuan, the first star has successfully returned to its position. However, according to my calculations, it will be more difficult as we go further. You must be mentally prepared."
"Brother Xue, just focus on breaking the formation …"
It was also difficult at the bottom. The entire formation was shaking and the Heavenly Fire attacked randomly. Ji Zhiyuan had to rely on his own strength to protect this area of a few feet. It was difficult for him to say it out loud. However, she was determined and did not want to be a burden at this time. She could only grit her teeth and persevere.
Su Mutang and his wife saw this and felt pain in their hearts. They wished they could switch places with her, but they did not dare to make a sound in fear of disturbing her mind.
Time passed bit by bit.
The formation was chaotic. It was impossible to tell day and night. Sometimes, it was even impossible to feel the passage of time.
Those outside the formation were still unaware and were running around looking for a way to break the formation.
Gu Caiwei found Gu Haiyuan's temporary residence. It was at the Sweetwater Alley that was dozens of miles away. It was the old man's usual style: hiding in the wilderness.
It was an inconspicuous place, but it had many visitors. They were all cultivators who heard about his whereabouts and secretly came to ask for a precious artifact.
She walked to the counter and saw a few people talking to Gu Haiyuan. She laughed delicately. "Old Gu, your enemy is here, yet you still have the time to talk business here. My Phoenix Hall has been looking for you for a long time."
Those people were shocked by her beauty, but when they heard the name Phoenix Hall, they were frightened. They did not say anything and ran away from the small door. How could they still have the mood to talk business?
"Hey, hey, come back. Why are you leaving!" Gu Haiyuan called out a few times, but it didn't work. He angrily said to Gu Caiwei, "You, you, you stinky girl, do you have nothing better to do? If you came, then come. Why did you ruin my business for no reason?"
Gu Caiwei laughed delicately. "I need my father to save someone. It's an emergency. I have no choice. Please forgive me."
"Save someone?" Gu Haiyuan yawned and rubbed his eyes that were red from staying up too long. He angrily said, "This old man doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. Who can I save? Stinky girl, don't make fun of me. Do you know that the business you drove away is enough for me to feed for three to five years?"
Gu Caiwei innocently said, "If you don't forgive me, your disciple who hasn't finished his apprenticeship will have a hard time keeping his life."
"Disciple? When did this old man accept a disciple? "Gu Haiyuan was puzzled.
"You've given Yan Li many pointers. Aren't you considered a disciple?" Gu Caiwei said.
"That stinky brat, since when did he respect me as a teacher?" Gu Haiyuan was even angrier when he heard that. "He's worse than you, stinky girl!"
Recalling Gu Caiwei's words, he quickly asked, "What trouble did he get into this time?"
Gu Caiwei gave a brief explanation. "Come with me to see how to break the Inferno Formation. Otherwise, the little b * tch will really turn into a puddle of blood."
"Oh, it's about this. You should have told me earlier. You ruined my business. Really …" Gu Haiyuan was not anxious. Instead, he grumbled.
"What about it?" Gu Caiwei asked.
"Don't worry," Gu Haiyuan said. "Someone came before you. Why hasn't he broken the Inferno Formation yet?"
"Who broke the formation?" Gu Caiwei was surprised. "Have you gone senile? I've always been here."
"Yes, it's been a few hours. What's his name again?" Gu Haiyuan thought hard for a moment. "Oh right, Xue Tianya. He's the famous hero from the Dao Court. I gave him a Star Atlas. He's been gone for a long time. Why hasn't he broken it? That Inferno Formation is set up by such an amateur. It's impossible. With the Star Atlas that I've refined, it's impossible for anything to go wrong. Unless … "
"Unless what?" Gu Caiwei said.
Gu Haiyuan said, "Unless he disobeyed my instructions and brought the Star Atlas into the Inferno Formation. Once the two of them fuse, the power will instantly increase by ten times."
"Oh no!" Gu Caiwei's expression changed. "Dad, come with me!"
Then, he grabbed Gu Haiyuan's collar and disappeared.
