"Master, be at ease. I'm fine."
Wang Chong waved his hand in a reassuring gesture, but cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
He was under immense pressure fighting the experts of the Zhengqi League and Group Five alone. In this aspect, he was in even greater danger than his master, the Evil Emperor.
"I've already calculated the time. We're already at the edge of the range of energy I can use. If we continue, we might really be in danger. We just need to rest a little, and we'll be able to recover. "
Wang Chong sternly said.
Upon hearing these words, the Demonic Emperor Old Man finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
He was extremely familiar with this disciple of his, and he would never lie about something like this. There was no question that Wang Chong had calculated everything before taking action. This was one of the aspects of Wang Chong that he was most proud of.
"Mm!"
The Evil Emperor nodded.
"Rest for a while. The Rest Gate is relatively safe, and we've just experienced an attack. We should be safe for the time being."
"Correct! The two of you should cultivate in peace. I'll stand guard for you. "
As the Formation Elder spoke, he waved his hands, sending stones flying around Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man. With each stone, there was a tremor, and ten-some stones immediately formed a simple formation around the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wang Chong.
Wang Chong nodded and immediately sat down with the Evil Emperor to rest.
Time slowly passed, and screams came from the formation as countless martial artists were turned to dust. But compared to those screams, the area around Wang Chong was abnormally calm.
"Milord, we failed again. That young man seems even more formidable than the dwarf elder!"
"I didn't think that not even Song Yuanyi and the Black Yin Ancestor working together would be able to deal with them!"
At the same time, in another location, three figures were staring down at the Gate of Healing where Wang Chong and the others were.
They had changed the rules of the formation and even lured Song Yuanyi and Luo Qiyin over. After using so many tricks, they had still managed to escape.
The surroundings were completely silent. The leader of the group stood motionlessly in front of the two of them. His eyes were fixed on the three people in the Healing Gate with an incomparably cold gaze.
An austere and dangerous aura burst forth from his body. As soon as the two attendants came into contact with him, they shivered and immediately shut their mouths.
The two of them were well aware that at some point in time, Wang Chong's group of three had replaced all the people from the other sects who had entered the array formation, becoming a thorn in the leader's side. Wang Chong circled around and actually returned to the Gate of Healing.
To the crowd, this was a huge humiliation.
"Pass down my order, activate the formation and shake them out of the Healing Gate. I want to push them step by step into the Gate of Death and have them burn to ashes in the array! "
After a long while, the leader suddenly spoke, his voice as cold as ice and austere as ever. As he spoke, he clenched his fists, the joints of his knuckles cracking with a frightening sound.
"But Milord, the Gate of Healing has already been turned around. We've already used the power of the array, so there's no way to pursue them!"
"At least for the next twelve hours, we won't be able to touch them. Forcefully reversing the array will involve too many areas. If we do so, the entire array might collapse."
The two figures were terrified.
Buzz!
Hearing their words, the leader's expression froze, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
His thick killing intent seemed to freeze, and a hint of astonishment appeared in the leader's eyes. It was like he had punched empty air, unable to vent his anger in the slightest.
Finally …
"Let them live for another twelve hours. After twelve hours, activate the seal. I want all these people of the sects to be annihilated! "
The leader viciously declared as he stared in the direction of Wang Chong's group. With a shake of his robe, he left his position.
… …
Time slowly passed, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
After a long while, Wang Chong finally opened his eyes. At almost the same time, nearby, Wang Chong's master, the Evil Emperor, was also slowly ending his cultivation, his complexion clearly ruddy.
"Wonderful! You've finally recovered! "
The Formation Elder happily walked up to the master and disciple's side.
"Wang Chong, kid, how is your condition?"
The Formation Elder asked Wang Chong.
"I'm fine now."
Wang Chong waved his sleeve and calmly stood up. His condition had never been very serious, and his energy had not run amok. With some rest, he would quickly recover.
"Haha, good! Now we can think of a way to leave this place. With your calculations and my understanding of formations, we only need to find the Life Gate to leave. "
"That's right. There's no Origin Immortal Mountain here, only a dangerous formation. We have to leave this place."
The deep and dignified voice of the Evil Emperor came from his side.
They had come to the northwest to find the Origin Immortal Art for Wang Chong and treat his cultivation defect, but it now appeared that there was no Origin Immortal Art here.
Moreover, the martial artists of both the righteous and evil sects had gathered here, making it impossible to remain here for long.
The Demonic Emperor also began to consider retreating.
To their surprise, Wang Chong shook his head at the pair, his expression extremely grave.
"Master, Senior Zhou, this matter isn't that simple. It won't be that easy to leave through the Life Gate. At the very least, those people won't let us leave. "
Buzz!
The Demonic Emperor and the Formation Elder glanced at each other in shock at Wang Chong's words.
"Chong-er, what do you mean by this?"
The Evil Emperor was the first to speak, his brow deeply furrowed in confusion.
"That's right. What do you think they mean?"
The Formation Elder also stared at Wang Chong. He had interacted with Wang Chong for some time now, and the Formation Elder was well aware that Wang Chong was not the sort to speak without thinking. There had to be a reason behind his words.
"Senior Zhou, do you remember what you said before about someone interfering with this formation?"
Wang Chong did not directly answer, instead turning to the Formation Elder.
"That was just my guess, because there's something wrong with the operation of the formation. Kid, Wang Chong, why are you asking about this? Could it be … "
As the Formation Elder stared at Wang Chong, he vaguely remembered something, and his eyes went wide in disbelief.
"Your guess is correct. There truly is a third faction controlling the formation against us, against all the martial artists of the righteous and evil paths."
"What?!"
The pair were flabbergasted by these words.
"Chong-er, are you sure?"
The Evil Emperor raised his brow, his expression completely different from before. If there was a third faction controlling the formation and luring over countless martial artists of the righteous and evil paths, the nature of the matter would be completely different.
"Kid, Wang Chong, do you know what you're saying? For at least several hundred years, no one has ever obtained the Origin Immortal Art. Countless martial artists have pursued it wave after wave, precisely because the Origin Immortal Art is ownerless. If it's as you say, then all the rumors in the outside world are fake. From start to finish, this was all a scam, a scheme! "
The Formation Elder was extremely agitated. He had no interest in martial arts, only the Origin Immortal Lord's Heavenly Tome of Ancient Formations.
As a formation master, this was his lifelong pursuit. If the Origin Immortal Art was fake, then the Heavenly Tome of Ancient Formations was also likely fake. The Formation Elder's face instantly turned ghastly pale.
"Senior Zhou, let's not talk about the Origin Immortal Art for now. After all, the treasure map to the Origin Immortal Art has been passed down for a long time, so this rumor isn't necessarily groundless. But there's no doubt that someone has been secretly controlling this formation this entire time. "
Wang Chong gravely said.
In front of the two teachers, Wang Chong did not conceal anything and immediately spoke of the suspicions in his mind.
"Remember when we were forced out by the Rest Gate? The entire formation clearly changed as a result. In addition, the Healing Gate should have been safe, but we were attacked twice in the past twelve hours. None of this is normal. "
"But this is just suspicious and doesn't mean anything. After all, the Origin Immortal Formation is an ancient formation left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord. No one knows how the formation operates or what special traits it has. I said that the formation is strange only based on past experiences, but that's not necessarily correct. "
The Formation Elder said. Suspicion and certainty were two completely different concepts. Once there was certainty, the nature of the matter was completely different.
"If that's the case, then it naturally doesn't mean anything. But Master, Senior Zhou, do you remember when we ran into Song Yuanyi and the Zhengqi League not long after we were forced out of the Rest Gate?"
Wang Chong sternly said.
"Chong-er, even this doesn't mean anything. Song Yuanyi entered the formation with us, so it's very normal for us to run into each other."
The Evil Emperor couldn't help but frown. It was clear that he did not completely agree with Wang Chong on this point.
"If that's the case, then it naturally doesn't mean anything, but … what about the Black Yin Ancestor?"
Wang Chong asked his master, the Evil Emperor. At that moment, his eyes were so profound that they seemed to be able to see through all secrets.
"Running into Song Yuanyi in the formation can be considered a coincidence, but running into the Black Yin Ancestor at the same time as running into Song Yuanyi? Can that still be called a coincidence? What are the chances of running into two titans of the righteous and evil sects in this formation? "
