He shouldered a large shovel.
The youth proudly led the way.
Ye Zichen followed behind and sensed the magnitude of the work he'd done.
"You're really something!"
"How long have you been digging for?!"
Ye Zichen and the others had already walked for nearly five minutes, but they still hadn't reached the exit.
From there, he could also sense how long this passageway was.
"Five million isn't a loss, is it?" The youth hefted the shovel. "There are too many formations buried in this clock tower. I had to go around them when I was digging. It wasn't easy."
"Not bad."
Ye Zichen gave the youth a thumbs-up.
"I still don't know your name?"
"Di Zhou," said the youth.
"That's pretty cool," said Ye Zichen. Ye Zichen grinned at the youth, then asked, "how much longer until we can get out of here?"
"Soon!"
About half a minute later, Ye Zichen saw the exit.
Di Zhou hefted the shovel and walked up.
As he did, he pulled Ye Zichen along.
"This is the inside of the clock tower?"
Ye Zichen looked around. The place they'd just emerged from was covered in mysterious runes and spirit stones arranged in a special pattern.
Dense elemental energy swirled around them.
Lightning!
If Ye Zichen wasn't mistaken, the entire place was filled with lightning elemental energy.
"That's right, this is it. Pay up."
Di Zhou reached out. They'd agreed to pay up once they got inside.
Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to act shamelessly.
He took out five million star coins and placed it in Di Zhou's hand, then wandered around curiously.
"Stop right there!"
Suddenly, Di Zhou tossed the shovel to the ground, walked up, and pulled Ye Zichen back.
"What is it?"
"Don't wander around. Can't you see that these are formations?" Di Zhou pointed at the dark lights.
"They can't be activated anymore," said Ye Zichen.
"Then who knows if they'll activate if we go in?" Di Zhou seemed to be very knowledgeable about spirit arrays as he explained, "Some spirit arrays look ordinary and will not activate even if they are left there. However, as long as someone enters, there is a possibility that they will be activated."
"Oh, I understand."
Ye Zichen was half an idiot when it came to formations.
Even back in the Milky Way, Yin Shang and Emperor Hades Su Yiyun were the most proficient in formations.
He didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in the formation.
Since Di Zhou had reminded him, he naturally wouldn't enter rashly.
The array formation could not be carelessly entered.
Thus, Ye Zichen walked along the edge towards the nearby stairs.
"Goodbye."
His purpose of coming here was to find Huo Xie, so he had no interest in these Spiritual Arrays. Ye Zichen cupped his hands towards Di Zhou, then prepared to go find him.
"Where are you going?!"
"Yes."
"The people up there are already dead."
Di Jie blocked the shovel again and raised his eyebrows to remind him.
"Ha?! Dead?! "
Cosmic system state!?
Dead?
Ye Zichen glared at Di Jie.
"I've already gone up there. One of them is lying on the ground. It looks like he's been dead for a while," Di Jie replied. "If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look."
"F * ck, is this for real?"
Hearing that, Ye Zichen ran up the clock tower.
Halfway through the run …
An open door attracted his attention. He walked inside and saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground.
The man had a head full of silver hair.
His arms were dry.
His eye sockets were pitch-black, and his eyeballs were bulging.
From the looks of it, he had indeed been dead for a while.
"This is Huo Xie?!"
Ye Zichen reached out and took off the man's clothes. There was also a flaming skull on his chest.
F * ck!
I knew it.
The flaming skull mark proved that he was definitely not Huo Xie's true body.
He couldn't even be considered a host.
He was purely a slave under Huo Xie's control.
"This guy …"
Ye Zichen rubbed his chin and let out a long sigh.
Just where was he hiding!?
But since he was able to control a cosmic system level expert, it was obvious that he really might be above the universe level.
That's not right!
Suddenly, Ye Zichen froze.
It had been less than a year since Ye Zichen found out about Huo Xie.
Liu Shuiheng and Yao Hua meant …
That cosmic system level expert had already been with the Liu family for several years.
There was a conflict in time.
"See?"
Di Zhou walked in with a shovel and began to dig a hole in the room right in front of Ye Zichen.
"What are you doing?" Ye Zichen was confused by Di Zhou's actions.
"I'm burying him," Di Zhou shrugged. "He's already dead, we can't just let him lie here forever, right? It's so scary."
"…"
Just what's up with this bro?
Ye Zichen frowned and knocked on the ground, causing the sound to reverberate throughout the clock tower.
"This isn't dirt, how are you going to dig?"
"What's more, why are you burying him here? It's so creepy. Just drag him outside and bury him later."
"That's fine too."
Di Zhou placed the corpse on his shoulder.
"What are you going to do now? Stay here or go out?"
The cosmic system level was dead.
Thus, Ye Zichen's search for Huo Xie ended.
Ye Zichen had thought that the person here was Huo Xie, but he didn't expect him to be a puppet.
Qing Hui's information also pointed in that direction.
Now, it felt like everything was over.
"Let's go out."
Since the person was already dead, there was no point in staying here.
"You're not interested in the spiritual formations below?"
Di Zhou suddenly asked as he looked down at the formations.
Ye Zichen noticed that they were at the bottom of the clock tower.
They had entered from the bottom floor of the bell tower. Looking down from here, it looked like a complete and huge array. The staircase of the clock tower also spiraled upwards, leaving the center of the tower empty.
"You recognize this formation?"
At this point, Ye Zichen asked casually.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be a large-scale spatial transfer formation," Di Zhou said seriously. "When I came here, I wanted to dig out the spirit stones below, but I didn't manage to do so. This means that there are formations around the spirit stones, but I can't tell where they are. "
"Spatial transfer formation? A teleportation formation? "
Ye Zichen frowned as he looked down at the formation.
Why was there a teleportation formation here?
Where did it go?
The old man outside was trying so hard to guard this place because of the teleportation formation, right?
Liu Shuiheng was arguing with him?
They seemed to be arguing about the use of the formation as well.
"You have an idea?"
"A little bit," Di Zhou nodded and licked his lips. "If I can dig out all those stones, I feel like I can sell them for a lot of money."
"That's not what I'm talking about," Ye Zichen shook his head.
If only Hua Jianrou was here. Let her take a good look. This is what a money grubber looks like.
All he cares about is money.
"Then what did you say?"
"I said, can you activate this thing?"
"I can try," Di Zhou pursed his lips, then suddenly grinned at Ye Zichen. "But you have to pay."
