”That's right! Although the chance of running into Song Yuanyi and the Righteous Alliance in the formation is rather small, it's not completely impossible. But for Song Yuanyi and Luo Qiyin to appear at the Stop Gate at the same time can't be written off as mere coincidence.”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man's brow instantly creased even harder while the Formation Elder immediately became anxious and uneasy.
”This truly can't be explained through coincidence, but kid, if it's really as you say, everything is completely different. Moreover, based on what happened just now, we've probably become a thorn in their side. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used both the Righteous Alliance and the Five Ancestor Alliance to deal with us.”
The Formation Elder was growing increasingly uneasy, and if one looked carefully, cold sweat was beading on his forehead.
”And if my judgment is correct, it's probably because I saw through a part of their formation that they marked us as their target.”
The Demonic Emperor was not the only top-class expert to have entered the Origin Immortal Formation. There was also Song Yuanyi and Luo Qiyin. Merely the presence of the Demonic Emperor alone should not have been enough to earn so much 'concern'. It was clear to the Formation Elder that he was the one dragging everyone down.
This fact made the Formation Elder feel rather ashamed.
”Senior Zhou, it's not that simple. Without you, both of us would be imprisoned in the formation until our deaths. Those people didn't mind doing everything to bring Song Yuanyi and Luo Qiyin to us precisely because Senior was a threat to them. As long as Senior is here, they can't threaten me, Master, or anyone else in the formation. Thus, Senior is not dragging us down. On the contrary, it's because of Senior that we are still safe,” Wang Chong sternly said.
”Is that so?”
The Formation Elder's mouth fell open. He had only been thinking about how he was burdening Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man, never even thinking about the other effects of his contributions.
”That's how it's always been.”
Wang Chong smiled and nodded. He was not saying these words purely to comfort the Formation Elder. If not for this senior, he would have never been able to calculate the rules of the formation.
”The more these people try to deal with us, the more they prove that they harbor ill intentions. If things go poorly, the members of both the righteous and evil factions will die here. We can't allow this to occur,” Wang Chong sternly said.
Those who had appeared here were all skilled experts of the martial arts world, a source of strength that Wang Chong could not disregard. There was a calamity in the future, a major crisis waiting for this world. These martial artists constituted an extremely precious source of resistance.
No matter what sort of grudges they had with each other, whether they were righteous or evil, they were people who could change the fate of the world and the human race.
”Senior can't let these people just hide in the back and play around with everyone. Let's work together to destroy this formation and give them a taste of our power!”
”Haha! Good! Kid, you're right! Let's work together and destroy this formation!”
Wang Chong's words had stimulated a hint of pride in the Formation Elder. He had researched formations for several decades, and never had anyone played around with him like this.
The Formation Elder was proud and confident. No matter where these people came from, he could not permit them to just continue plotting from the safety of the shadows.
”Senior Zhou, based on past circumstances, they can essentially control a formation shift every twelve hours, and this ability is enough to force us out of the Rest Gate. Given how much time has passed, we have four hours more at most.”
Wang Chong's eyes shone with the light of wisdom.
”There are two methods to break a formation. One is to leave through the Life Gate while the other is to destroy the core of the formation. Using either of these methods will allow us to leave the formation.”
”Correct! These are truly the only two methods.”
The Formation Elder looked at Wang Chong, stroking his beard as he gave an approving nod. Although Wang Chong had only studied with him for a short time, he possessed incredible comprehension abilities. These methods were truly the best two options for the three of them.
”Leaving through the Life Gate will save the three of us, but everyone else will remain trapped in the formation. This is also the easiest way to escape. The other way is to enter the core of the formation and destroy it at the source. This is more difficult, and there's a very high chance that we end up in the Death Gate. The closer we get, the more dangerous it will be, and we will also have to directly confront the power of the formation!”
Wang Chong's mind was rapidly whirring as he spoke. He paused for a moment, then continued.
”However, as long as that third party continues to control things from the shadows, we can put any thought of leaving from the Life Gate to rest. In the end, even if we do our best, we will probably die here. In comparison, while destroying the formation's core is more difficult and dangerous, it's the most direct method.”
The Formation Elder was quiet for a long time before finally speaking.
