Chapter 1123 Must Die

Ye Wanxi and her companion ran so fast that Zou Yiluan didn't even have time to stop them before they disappeared from sight.

Qi Yingxuan and the others were a beat slow to react. They wanted to follow, but Zou Yiluan stopped them.

"Gentlemen, this place is eerie. Once you go in, you can't get out, and you can't contact the outside world. Rushing in recklessly could be dangerous. You..."

“We know it’s dangerous inside, and that’s precisely why we have to go in.” Qi Yingxuan wasn’t stupid; he could easily see through Zou Yiluan’s concerns.

"Don't worry, we're not going in to hold them back. This old man's formation is really hard to figure out from the outside. Only by going inside can we find its flaws and rescue the people inside. Otherwise, if we all just stand here, we won't be able to help even if we wait until next year."

"This..." Zou Yiluan's expression changed slightly. Just as he was wondering whether he should believe Qi Yingxuan's words, Xiao Baihui and his son arrived.

"What happened? That guy attacked again? Where are Miss Ye and Mr. Feng?"

Seeing the two approach, Zou Yiluan felt as if he had been granted a reprieve and hurriedly explained, "The man inside seems to know that Miss Ye and the others are here, and he's trying to make an example of them again. Miss Ye and Mr. Feng have already rushed in to stop him. These gentlemen also want to go in, but the situation inside is really dire. All the people who went in before us have disappeared without a trace..."

“We’re not like them.” Qi Yingxuan said unhappily, seeing that Zou Yiluan clearly looked down on him. “Do they know how to penetrate deep into the formation without being affected? Do they know how to find the formation’s core, set up the formation, and break it? They only learned a little bit and dared to rush in. It’s no wonder they got trapped inside. Don’t forget, most of their skills were taught by us!”

Xiao Baihui's eyes flickered slightly: "You want to go in and find a way to break the formation?"

"Otherwise, should I just go in and deliver it out of boredom?"

Xiao Baihui didn't mind Qi Yingxuan's sharp tone, and only asked one question: "Are you confident?"

"Don't worry about that. I guarantee that no one in the world understands this formation better than me. If even I can't find the core of the formation, then I'm afraid no one in the world can find it."

Qi Yingxuan wasn't exaggerating at all. Back then, when Wu Yequan unleashed the Heaven-Slaying Formation in an attempt to wipe everyone out, the sect's senior uncles and elders were helpless and could only watch helplessly as their junior sister sacrificed her life to break the formation.

From then on, Qi Yingxuan became obsessed with this formation. He was originally very talented in formations, and in his previous life, he spent almost his entire life exploring how to set up and break formations.

Unfortunately, after reincarnation, the advanced formations he was so proud of in his previous life had very few opportunities to be used.

On the contrary, the simplest teleportation array is the most commonly used, to the point that Qi Yingxuan almost forgot that he was once a renowned array master, and not just an "ordinary" deliveryman.

"It was my lifelong regret that I couldn't break this old codger's formation back then. Today, I'm determined to tear a huge hole in this broken formation!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Yingxuan ignored Zou Yiluan and the others and rushed into the barrier.

Zou Yiluan's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but Xiao Baihui stopped him: "Let them go, the people inside are still waiting for us to rescue them."

Zou Yiluan was shocked and extremely annoyed by his current helplessness.

Xiao Baihui felt the same way. He looked at Jun Wuduan and the others and said solemnly, "I'm counting on you."

"Um."

While Qi Yingxuan and the others entered the barrier to rescue people, Ye Wanxi and her companion had already found Wu Yequan.

The culprit that caused all of this stood at the highest point in the entire city, brazenly and without any attempt to conceal it.

Upon seeing the two appear, Wu Yequan showed no surprise whatsoever: "You actually came."

"You went to such lengths to set up this trap, weren't you just trying to lure us into it?"

Wu Yequan narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "So, you've come here now to be prepared to be slaughtered for these strangers whose names you don't even know, just like your master did back then, to save the world with your own strength?"

Ye Wanxi sneered, her tone laced with sarcasm: "If we die, will you really keep your promise and release these people?"

"Of course not." Wu Yequan laughed even more happily. "Have you ever heard of spitting out what you've already eaten? Today, not only you few, but everyone in here won't escape! But isn't that interesting? Look, look, how much effort you've put in to save people, how many things you've ruined for me, and what's the result? I only used a little trick and said a few words, and they're ready to beat and kill you. Cowardice, selfishness, ugliness—that's the norm!"

"I was just trying to scare them, and they panicked and showed their ugly side. This is the kind of people you want to save. How short-sighted, how ironic! For immediate gains and your own satisfaction, you pushed your former benefactors into the tiger's den. How will they feel when they find out that the only person who could have saved them was driven to their death? They'll probably regret it so much they'll go crazy, haha ​​...

As Ye Wanxi listened to Wu Yequan's malicious words, she twirled her folding fan, which instantly transformed into a long sword. The blade gleamed slightly in the moonlight, sharp and cold.

Wu Yequan's laughter stopped abruptly. He stared at the long sword in Ye Wanxi's hand and revealed a fake smile that was extremely familiar to both Ye Wanxi and the other woman.

"Wait, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. Actually, we don't need to fight to the death like this. If we look at it from another angle, we can achieve a win-win situation."

"I have nothing to talk to you about!"

“No, what I want to talk about is you.” Wu Yequan’s gaze followed Ye Wanxi closely, a hint of calculation and shrewdness gleaming in the depths of his eyes.

"You should already know that we are actually related by blood."

Before Ye Wanxi could say anything after Wu Yequan said this, Feng Tianyu's expression changed.

"Blood relation?" Ye Wanxi scoffed. "My parents are long dead. What blood relation do you have with me?"

Wu Yequan's expression darkened slightly, knowing that Ye Wanxi was trying to distance herself from him even after learning the truth.

“Even if you are not my and Yunniang’s child, I am still your uncle.”

"A biological uncle?" Ye Wanxi thought she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "A biological uncle who killed his entire family? It's better not to have one. In the words of young people these days, it's better to recognize a piece of barbecued pork than to recognize you."

"So, you really don't intend to cooperate with me?"

"I never intended to cooperate. Given our past grievances, it's impossible for us to forgive and forget. It's even more impossible for us to negotiate with a tiger. I don't care what your purpose is, I will save the people here, and you must die!"
