Chapter 1131: Really Interesting

"Self-rescue?" The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

"We can't even get people out now, how can we save ourselves?"

Qi Yingxuan looked up at the increasingly red barrier above him, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Naturally, we're trying to find a way out of here. Otherwise, what do you think we came in for? To watch the show?"

To break the formation, you must first enter it.

For ordinary people, entering a formation rashly is indeed quite risky, but for a formation master, nothing is more effective than personally experiencing the formation to appreciate the intricacies of its arrangement.

"This Heaven-Slaying Array is even larger than the previous one, requiring a much larger quantity of spirit stones, and..."

As Qi Yingxuan spoke, he seemed to realize something, and his brows furrowed.

Seeing the strange look on his face, Jun Wuduan and the others' hearts tightened: "And what?"

"I can't sense the trajectory of this formation."

Generally speaking, the operation of a formation can be traced around the formation's core, but ordinary people can't detect it except for extremely skilled formation masters.

Qi Yingxuan was clearly not an ordinary person. From the moment he entered the formation, he had been trying to find the trajectory of the formation's operation.

Especially when Wu Yequan tried to use the same trick again, activating the magic array to summon lightning to burn people, Qi Yingxuan quickly released his divine sense in order to capture the location of the array's core.

Unfortunately, Qi Yingxuan couldn't figure it out even after sensing it for a long time.

Jun Wuduan glanced at his watch, his expression grave, and said, "There are still three hours left until the time given by Wu Yequan. This should be the time when the Heaven-Slaying Formation is fully activated. We don't have much time left."

Qi Yingxuan gritted his teeth: "Where is the highest point here?"

"The highest point?" The staff member asked hesitated for a moment. "It should be...it should be the weather tower. You want to go up to the weather tower, but..."

"Can't we go up?"

"The city's signal is down, and most of the power is out. The weather tower happens to be located in the area where the signal is out. If you want to get up there now, you'll probably have to... climb the stairs yourself."

Given the height of the weather tower, one would have to climb at least thirty or forty floors to reach the top.

In the time it takes a few people to work, the daylily will probably be cold.

The expected setback did not occur. Qi Yingxuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's alright, we can fly."

The staff member was confused: "???" He had been careless and forgot that these people were not ordinary people.

However, after his reminder, Jun Wuduan became even more concerned: "You just said that most of the city's power was out, and all the signals were cut off. So how did the people here contact you and ask you to come and help?"

“They didn’t contact us; we came over on our own after hearing the commotion.”

The young man smiled sheepishly, somewhat embarrassed: "When the signal was first cut off, everyone was really in a state of chaos for a while. We tried many methods but couldn't restore communication. After the power was restored, we could only resort to some clumsy methods to maintain order."

The most obvious thing was the big yellow megaphone with batteries in the young man's hand. When the residents and their families inside the building were making a fuss and trying to rush in, the group used this megaphone to quell the noise and get them to listen to what they were saying.

Qi Yingxuan looked at the familiar yellow megaphone, his eyelids twitched, and he forced a smile, "Do you have many of these megaphones?"

"Not many, basically one per team."

"Could you please do me a favor?"

"You say."

“There are only a few of us. Z City is so big, it’s unrealistic for us to find a way to break the formation in such a short time. I would like to ask each of your teams to send a few people to search in different directions. If you find anything wrong, please inform us immediately through the loudspeaker.”

"It's possible, but while this loudspeaker sounds loud, it doesn't actually travel very far. Can you really hear it?"

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Qi Yingxuan said, quickly forming a hand seal and slapping it onto the megaphone in the young man’s hand. “I put an amplification spell on your megaphone to make sure I can hear you when you shout through it. This mark can be copied; you can touch this spot with other megaphones to get the same effect.”

The young man was stunned, touching his little trumpet, at a loss for what to do.

On the contrary, a few local residents who had been listening for most of the conversation exchanged glances and suddenly interjected, "Is there anything we can do to help?"

Jun's words, though unfounded, may not be entirely without merit.

They're like turtles in a jar now; they could be struck by lightning and killed even if they're just sitting at home.

Since that's the case, why not take a gamble? Maybe it can give you and your loved ones a chance to survive.

Qi Yao pondered for a moment, then said carefully, "Now that we're all in the same boat, we should help each other even more. That old man has already started to make his move, and everyone's situation will only get more and more difficult. We've helped you, and we hope that you can lend a helping hand to others when they need it, passing on this kindness so that everyone can retain a little hope in their hearts and not be swallowed up by resentment."

"In addition, we also hope you can explain the matter concerning our junior sister."

Qi Yao said this for two reasons: first, she didn't want Ye Wanxi to come to the rescue and then be blamed; second, she also saw the danger of the large blood blister on her head.

The deeper the resentment the people here harbor towards Ye Wanxi and her companion, the more negative emotions they are consumed by.

Conversely, if these people's resentment can be transformed into support, the array will absorb less nutrients and will be unable to support its operation, thus indirectly buying them some time.

After Qi Yao said this, the residents who had previously insulted and cursed Ye Wanxi felt a little embarrassed.

Most of these people didn't have any bad intentions; they were just twisted into unrecognizable forms under the dual pressure of death and the fear of the unknown.

Now that he had come to his senses, he felt even more ashamed and immediately patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, leave this to us, we guarantee we'll handle it perfectly."

Qi Yingxuan and his group disappeared after saying their piece, leaving the crowd still standing there dumbfounded, looking at each other in bewilderment.

A moment later, the crowd began to move again.

The building was burned down, and the homeless needed to be accommodated. Some of the staff responsible for maintaining order stayed behind to take care of the victims, while others went back to discuss with their superiors how to cooperate with Qi Yingxuan and others to find a way to break the formation.

The residents who were resettled were not idle either. They gathered in twos and threes and talked about something. Before long, one by one, they got up and walked out with firm expressions.

The crowd gradually dispersed, like forked streams flowing in different directions.

Above the barrier, Wu Yequan dodged the two's attacks. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but show a hint of mockery on his face: "How interesting. Ants actually try to contend with heaven and earth. They are overestimating themselves."
