"Wait!" Yan Li hurriedly grabbed her hand, "You have to help me, or else I'll be the slowest one. Won't they laugh at me?"
"Are you afraid of being laughed at?" Ji Zhiyuan withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes at Yan Li, "You're obviously taking advantage of me."
Yan Li grabbed her again and said with a smile, "If you're not willing to help me, I won't let you go. Stay with me, look at me, look at me, let me know that you're by my side, then I'll be at ease."
"Childish," Ji Zhiyuan said with a straight face.
Yan Li used force to pull her closer to him and held her in his arms. He gently pressed his nose against hers, his eyes focused, staring into her eyes, "We're happy not because of anyone else. I love you, only because I love you."
Ji Zhiyuan's expression gradually softened, her hand gently stroking Yan Li's cheek, "I've never asked, how did you survive falling into the water that year?"
Yan Li said, "When I woke up, I was already lying on the bed at home. According to my mother, my aunt found me in the water. At that time, they were terrified, thinking that I couldn't bear the high-intensity cultivation pressure and chose to commit suicide. That time, it was Li Xuanwei who saved me. "
Ji Zhiyuan said, "You were stabbed in the chest. Even a cultivator would find it hard to survive, so I always thought you were dead."
Yan Li said, "So there's a cenotaph in the imperial palace, and you even named the restaurant by the Lover's Lake 'Resentful Yuan Tower'. When you're empty, you watch me die there, and on that day every year, you go there to mourn for me. You've always lived in self-blame. "
"You came back and turned Yongling upside down, but how could you …" Ji Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly became wet, "How could you forget me!"
Yan Li's heart ached slightly. Yes, if he hadn't lost that memory, everything would be different. But in this world, many things have no reason. He could only hug her tightly, "I must have been possessed. Zhiyuan, from now on, I won't let go of your hand. "
"Mn."
…
Ji Zhiyuan was a beauty with a lingering charm. She was like a peach blossom tree that had bloomed on the top of a mountain. In the midst of spring, the green buds that had just begun to show their green color made the tree look exceptionally red.
Thinking about how she almost fell into his trap just now, her face was burning, and the redness extended to her ears. The gazes of others were like needles stabbing her. She was used to concealing herself, so even if those gazes noticed that something was wrong, they wouldn't think of it in that direction.
She was secretly annoyed that Yan Li still had the mood to do such things when he was saving people. But on second thought, he didn't have the sentiment to worry about the country and the people. It was all for her that he came in and risked his life. Talking to him about the peace of the Three Realms was like playing the lute to a cow.
"Are you done?"
Liumu Bingjian took out the astrolabe and said to everyone, "I have good news. The Devilman is indeed not the core of the Purgatory Array. Seventeen array eyes have been destroyed, but the Heavenly Fire is still burning. This more and more proves that Brother Yan's reasoning is correct. Our chances of success are becoming higher and higher. "
Guan Xiaolong took out his own astrolabe. His eyes flickered with radiance, but he didn't say anything. He already gradually understood the Hall Master's intentions.
Apart from him, everyone else was extremely excited. They took out their astrolabes and arranged them on the ground, recording the positions of the stars on a new astrolabe.
Liang Youyu and the others who were extremely skilled in calculation quickly calculated an extra formation eye. "In the northwest Kan position, Nine Palaces' fourth grid, it's there!" He suddenly pointed at a Purgatory Mountain not far away. That mountain was already completely covered in Heavenly Fire. There wasn't a single place to stand.
Guan Xiaolong said angrily, "The Devil Race really is treacherous. If we don't remove this extra formation eye first, there is no way we can break through the Purgatory Array!"
"This is precisely the case!" Liang Youyu thought for a bit. "The Devilman isn't the core, but every formation eye needs a Devilman. We need someone to take the risk and kill the Devilman inside. Only then can we break through this formation eye."
"I'll go." Liumu Bingjian turned around to leave. Her feet tapped lightly on the ground a few times, graceful and graceful. Her figure was already several dozen zhang out. Her body was naturally covered in ice-white armor, behind her ice white wings even more so reaching out. Every single feather flickered with dazzling radiance.
"Lady Bingjian, I've come to help you." Ji Zhiyuan chased after her.
Liumu Bingjian stopped, turning around to look at her in surprise. She said with a smile, "Lady Zhi Yuan, your arrival has greatly increased the power of this trip." She turned her head towards another direction and said, "Brother Yan, don't you agree?"
"No, I came for Bingjian." Yan Li said with a smile.
"Loquacious." Liumu Bingjian curled her lips and laughed, clearly not believing her at all.
"The three of you, the three of you, how about you bring me along?" Guan Xiaolong caught up from behind, saying this with a bashful expression.
The three of them had never interacted with him before, and Yan Li had never seen this person before. However, since they were all here to break through the formation, they were comrades. There was no reason to reject him.
The four of them came before the Purgatory and felt it up close. They could feel the coldness and mercilessness of the Heavenly Fire. It was accumulating power and was cruel enough to destroy everything.
When they looked at it for a long time, they even had the illusion that their souls were being sucked into it.
"How's the evacuation of the commoners?" Yan Li asked, trying to divert attention.
Guan Xiaolong smiled and said, "Brother Yan, don't worry. More than half of them should have been brought out. As long as we break through the Purgatory Formation, the Devilman's plot will be declared over. This is a great victory for our Confucian orthodoxy. Brother Yan's contributions are obvious to all. The number one spot in this Demon-Buster Conference's merit ranking will definitely belong to you."
There was actually no ranking in the Demon-Buster Conference. After the merit system was introduced, the one with the highest merit would be the first, enjoying unparalleled glory. Unlike the Soaring Dragon Roll Examination, the Demon-Buster Conference was not just about killing demons, saving Red Rock City from disaster, dispelling the Devilman's plot, and turning the Demon-Buster Conference's outcome. All of these added up merits were no small matter. If one did not take first place, the fairness of the merit system might be doubted.
"Thank you for your auspicious words," Yan Li said. Since he wanted to defeat Emperor Han fair and square, he naturally had to take these merits for himself.
"Enter."
Liumu Bingjian reached out and grasped the air. The ice lotus petals condensed into a simple and unadorned ice sword and moved forward. The terrifying Heavenly Fire was torn open by the powerful ice lotus power. The three of them hurriedly entered through this opening and entered the array's eye. Liumu Bingjian entered after them, and the Heavenly Fire naturally filled up the opening.
The four of them did not act rashly. First, they observed their surroundings.
The interior of the array's eye was actually a corner of Red Rock City.
These looked like mountains, but they were actually illusions created by the array formation. Once this layer of skin was removed, the real world was revealed.
Coincidentally, this array's eye was in the Delinquent Residence.
