In the Illusory Formation
"Are you alright?"
Just as the Great Sage was about to finish off Han Ba with his staff, a gentle voice suddenly called out to him.
At the same time, the world before him was no longer raining. Instead, it was filled with white mist.
"Are you alright?"
The Great Sage felt his heart palpitate when he heard that soft chant from afar.
It's ….
Was it her?
For tens of thousands of years, the person who'd haunted his dreams ….
Was it really her?
Dong.
He gripped the Ruyi Jingu Bang tightly and turned to look ahead. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, growing hoarse ….
"Is it you?"
"It's me."
The gentle voice reached the Great Sage's ears. After receiving confirmation, the Great Sage sprinted forward with all his might.
A figure appeared within the clouds, but no matter how hard the Great Sage tried to run …..
He couldn't even see the person's face.
Bang.
The Great Sage tossed the Ruyi Jingu Bang to the ground. He rarely revealed his true feelings, but his eyes were moist as he looked at the figure in front of him.
"If it really is you, can you come out and see me?"
"I can't."
The gentle voice rang out once more. The Great Sage's heart was in turmoil, but this rejection left him dazed and dejected.
I can't.
A sorrowful smile tugged at his lips. He sighed and gazed at the figure in the distance.
"Are you still blaming me?"
For a long while, the person in front of him said nothing. The Great Sage sat down dejectedly on the ground and shook his head, "Don't worry.
"That's right, you must be blaming me. If I were you, I wouldn't forgive me either. Seventy thousand years. It's been a whole seventy thousand years. I've always lived in self-blame …. I thought that after becoming a Buddha, I could sever our ties, but now I realize I was wrong! "
The Great Sage sat on the ground and muttered to himself. However, the experts of the Beast Region were all dumbfounded. Even Hanba was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
When Hanba made her move, the Great Sage's staff was already right in front of her head. However, he suddenly pulled it back.
Then, he turned and ran like mad ….
He tossed the Ruyi Jingu Bang away, sat paralyzed on the ground, and muttered incessantly.
After a brief moment of shock, the Drought Demon's eyes lit up.
"Monkey, go and die!"
Just as she was about to attack, Jiangchen forcibly dragged her out of the way.
"You're courting death!"
"Illusion Array."
An elder of the Fire Phoenix Clan spoke. Their Fire Phoenix Clan knew about Qimen Dunjia. With just a glance, he was certain that someone had set up an Illusory Formation.
"Illusory array?" The other experts of the Beast Region furrowed their brows. "How could the Great Sage have fallen into an illusory formation? Furthermore, we've been here this entire time, yet we've never seen anyone set up a spiritual formation."
"This is where the other party's brilliance lies. To be able to set up a formation without leaving any trace, he must at least be at the level of a formation master."
"Then can you break the formation? We can't let the Great Sage stay inside forever. That's putting him in danger," said someone from the Beast Region.
The Fire Phoenix tribe elder sighed and shook his head.
"To be able to set it up without leaving a trace is already at the level of a Grandmaster. Furthermore, this Spirit Array seems to be of a very high grade. Just now, I searched for a long time but still couldn't find the core of the Spirit Array. To be able to set it up to this level, it must at least be at the level of a Grandmaster. This old man is not talented and cannot break the Spirit Array."
"Then ….."
"However, there's no need to worry about the Great Sage's safety. A Illusory Formation has no real offensive power. It only draws out the obsession of those who enter, causing them to sink into oblivion. Furthermore, Illusory Formations generally attack indiscriminately. Anyone who enters will fall for it. That's why the Great Sage is safe for now. The only thing we need to worry about is whether or not the Great Sage will be able to walk out. "
The elder from the Fire Phoenix tribe let out a long sigh after his words sounded.
"I heard that back then, the Great Sage ….."
Before he could finish his sentence, he shut his mouth. This was the Great Sage's most obscure past. If he spread it, he'd be committing a grave sin.
He licked his lips, then changed the subject.
"Let's hurry and find the person who set up the formation. Once we find him, the Spirit Array will naturally be solved."
"Brother Su, you did it, didn't you?"
Up in the sky, Black Dragon knit his brows and looked at the Great Sage, who sat on the ground, muttering in his sleep.
"Just now, I noticed that Jiangchen was by your side the entire time. When he left, he kept bowing to you. Between the two of you ….."
"It's nothing," said Su Yiyun. "He asked me to save Hanba's life, so we came to an agreement to work together. I didn't think it was a loss. Besides, that monkey really was a threat to us, so I agreed and casually set up a Mirage Formation. Black Dragon, you won't blame me, right? "asked Su Yiyun from his chair.
"How could I? It's best if we can work together. Otherwise, I'm worried that we'll be attacked from both sides," said Black Dragon with a smile.
The black dragon replied with a smile. After that, he turned to look at the monkey below.
"Then now we ….."
"We can't make a move yet. Wait for the monkey in the formation to commit suicide, then we'll go deal with the remaining soldiers."
… …
"Seventy thousand years. For the past seventy thousand years, I've always wanted to go find you, but ….."
The Great Sage continued to sit on the ground and let out a long sigh. The person standing in the distance also spoke at this time.
"Then why didn't you go find me? You've regretted it for seventy thousand years, but didn't I bitterly guard you for seventy thousand years?"
"I'm sorry."
An apologetic smile spread across the Great Sage's face. He sighed in frustration and shook his head.
"Actually, I shouldn't have let you go back then. I tried to get you to stay, but it's all in the past. I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime. I never thought you'd actually come ….. Even though I know you won't forgive me, I still want to say, forgive me, alright? "
The Great Sage's tone was indescribably gentle. He looked forward expectantly, waiting for an answer.
"No."
All he got was a cold refusal.
"Now you know you were wrong. Now you know I should forgive you. But what did you do back then? Since you think it's my fault, then you should continue to admit it. Now that you've suddenly admitted your mistake, isn't that saying that our relationship is so fragile, so fragile that we don't even have the most basic trust, right? "
"I ….."
The Great Sage's lips trembled, but he didn't say anything for a long time. After a long silence …..
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry? That's all you can say." The person's tone was no longer gentle. "How did I ask for your trust back then? But look at you back then! Sorry? Do you really think a simple apology can solve everything? "
"Then what do you want me to do? Do you want me to die? "
"Fine." The person's reply was as cold as ever. "Death is indeed a solution. If you're free, then so am I."
