Chapter 337 (2/2)

“Ah? How is that possible? Troy Mormon was never involved in the building of the Cloud Palace, not even its maintenance! This palace was built when the city was founded, and it has always been maintained by the core members of the Teachings. They would never trust Troy Mormon to do it!”

“I know! And that’s why there will be ten more buildings that will collapse soon. And if they don’t, the Cloud Palace itself will be destroyed!” answered Ye Lang, deep in thought.

“??” Feng Xing was confused again, but quickly understood.

“Do you mean that, since he couldn’t enter the Cloud Palace, that’s why Troy Mormon built these ten buildings? And he’s using the alchemy formation formed by the ten buildings to attack the palace?”

“That’s right! Troy Mormon is a genius to be able to think of something like this!” said Ye Lang with some admiration.

“Then why don’t you go destroy the other three alchemy formations? Then maybe you could deactivate the whole thing!” Although Feng Xing did not have a deep understanding of alchemy, based on logic, the formation should lose some of its functions if they destroyed some parts of it.

“It’ll be useless, we won’t be able to deactivate it in such a short amount of time! And the consequences of cracking its code might be more disastrous than right now!” Ye Lang shook his head.

Ye Lang was capable of solving the formation but he needed enough time. Him attempting to deactivate it now would just be redundant.

At the same time, from its current layout, Ye Lang could tell that these formations might have some traps as a backup. If they were destroyed, it might even cause more places to collapse- even the entire city!

They had to admit that this Troy was a genius!

Even a genius like Troy spent decades to complete the formation, a prodigy like Ye Lang would need some time to solve the problem.

He learned a lot from these formations. This was the blood and sweat of an ancient genius, there was a lot of knowledge and creativity weaved into it.

Ye Lang could only sigh. As Newton said, he was standing upon the shoulders of a giant.

He was only able to attain his current capabilities in alchemy only because his forefathers had already put in the work. This was the accumulation of knowledge through time, it could never be accomplished by one person, but many, many people down many, many generations!

Ye Lang would utilise the knowledge he learned from this many times for the rest of his life!

“What now? We can’t evacuate a place like Cloud Palace just like that…” said Feng Xing, feeling a headache coming on. They could for any other place, but Cloud Palace was different.

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t evacuate them, but I can’t guarantee being inside will be safe!” Ye Lang waved, as if it didn’t matter. He had already warned them, it was now their choice to make.

“Uh… I trust you, sir! That you’ll be able to do it!” Feng Xing hesitated for a moment, then his tone grew more confident.

“Little brother, I didn’t know how much trust and respect these people had for you! They’ve put a lot of trust in you, kid!” smiled Ye Lanyu. She could tell Feng Xing was so calm because he had faith in Ye Lang.

Although it looked simple, Ye Lanyu, Second Sister and the rest knew it must have taken a lot of effort and time for them to place so much trust in Ye Lang. It was unbelievable.
