“Just, just what kind of alchemy spell is this?!”

The group of Imperial Alchemists became stunned while flying in the air when they saw the situation. This was a scene that was simply impossible for them to imagine.

Before, they were only talking about it and they hadn’t been to the actual scene, so they were in a state where they only had a feel for the numbers involved, but now it was different. They were looking at it with their own eyes, the scene of 180.000, trapped within a spell.

Very quickly, they started to closely examine the markings on the ground. They hoped to find an answer, an answer to how to replicate these circumstances.

However, they found that with their existing alchemy knowledge, they could not derive an answer. Moreover, if even they couldn’t find an answer, then that symbolized that this alchemy spell had never appeared before, making this the first instance of it.

The first instance! Wouldn’t that mean that this was something he made himself?

Wasn’t this a bit too unbelievable!

Right now, the Imperial Alchemists could only infer that this alchemy formation was discovered by Ye Lang who knows where. Otherwise, if he had created an alchemy spell like this at his age, then it was just too unbelievable!

“Is he still inside?” The captain of the dragon knights asked one of the dragon knights who had been left behind to stand guard.

“Yes, he’s still inside. Up until now, not even a single person has left!” The dragon knight replied.

“Not even a single person has left…” Everybody silently mouthed those words. How should these words be processed? Should they celebrate that Ye Lang hasn’t escaped? Or should they grieve over the fact that not a single one of the 180.000 people had broken out?

Although they had only been in the spell for a day, as dragon knights flew very fast and were incomparable as a means of transportation, this was still unbelievable.

“What do you think?” The Imperial Alchemists started discussing countermeasures. No matter what, the first thing to do was to save the people inside.

“I can’t tell! The power that this alchemy formation is giving off doesn’t seem to be anything special, why does it have such a mysterious effect?” One of the people replied.

Other people might have mistakenly assumed Ye Lang’s alchemy formation was the cause, but these people could tell that it wasn’t just the alchemy formation at work.

“Let’s test it first, see what it really is!” The Imperial Alchemists started their examination, initiating their battle of wits with Ye Lang.

Afterwards, they used various methods, including ways to save people, and ways to destroy Ye Lang’s alchemy formation, all kinds of attempts…

Yet, the more they tried, the more amazed they became. It seemed they could definitively conclude that Ye Lang’s formation was not simply based on alchemy, but was using something else as well!

But by the time they had determined this, it had already been 3 days. The army of 180.000 trapped inside was already at its limit. Their mental and physical bodies could endure no more!

What should they do? Could they only let Ye Lang entrap the army to its death like this?

“I think Ye Lang created this earth walls not just to use as obstructions. Their placement seems to have some great meaning to it.” A girl started speaking, as she looked at the Chinese divination formation, she felt a fantastic feeling in her heart.

Within these 3 days, she felt more and more strongly that those things gave off an ancient feeling, that they were more and more mysterious!

“Then let’s try destroying those earth walls!” Everybody agreed on that point. They were suspicious about them as well, but how could something that simple cause such a great effect?

Ordinary people wouldn’t believe that just a few earth walls would have such a large effect on people. That was just unbelievable.
