"It's been a long time, you two!" Chen Yi said with a big smile.

Chu Qi, however, sensed the sarcasm in his words.

How long?

soon.

They were found in less than half a day.

The masked man hid the array plate behind his back, attempting to reverse the formation.

However, Wang Lin wouldn't wait for him to make a move.

She immediately summoned a gourd-shaped magical artifact.

In the blink of an eye, the magical artifact grew from the size of a fingernail to the height of a person, with flames gushing out from its gourd mouth.

Illuminated by the firelight, Chu Qi and the masked man had no time to think and quickly burrowed into the ground to escape.

If they had been even a step slower, they would have turned as black as the ground scorched by flames.

Chu Qi cursed inwardly, "This woman is going all out to kill!"

"Split up and escape!"

He immediately split up with the masked man into two groups.

Chen Yi held the battle flag and waved it gently.

The land within a radius of several miles changed hands again.

As the masked man fled, he crushed the array plate in despair.

Only by completely destroying this formation can we escape this place.

"Boom!"

The tremors of the earth gradually subsided.

The masked man sensed this and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, although the formation had been altered, it was still based on the formation he had set up. As long as he actively dismantled the formation, the part that Chen Yi had altered would become a tree without roots.

"hehe!"

Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly.

He had anticipated this, so when setting up his defenses, he also set up a trapping formation outside the enemy's main formation.

The masked man realized this only after fleeing for several kilometers.

"fog?"

He realized that although he seemed to have escaped for several kilometers, he had not actually left the mountains and forests, but had been wandering around a large area.

That's right, this was created by Chen Yi based on the formation used by the evil cultivators of the Yinshan Sect to trap people in Yinshan Village, combined with some simple trapping formations.

Although it's simple, with his level 2 array master skills, trapping the two of them for a while wouldn't be a problem.

"You can handle the masked man. Wang Bian and I will deal with Chu Qi," Chen Yi said to Wang Lin.

"Okay! Be careful!" Wang Lin nodded quickly.

At this moment, all she wanted was to immediately reclaim the Azure Flame Seed.

Moments later, Chen Yi and Wang Bian intercepted Chu Qi.

"I never imagined that the Crimson Dragon Kingdom would have a talent like you!" Chu Qi said with slight surprise.

Seeing the two approaching figures, he quickly spoke:

"With such ability, why not join my Thief of Heaven Sect to cultivate the Great Dao together, instead of wasting your youth in this small high school?"

In our sect, anything is possible as long as you contribute enough.

Want to spend the night with the school beauty? We can help you steal her away on the second night!

If you want to learn a certain martial art but don't want to join a sect, we have someone who can help you get it done!

If you want to forge evil magical artifacts, we have plenty of talented people for you to choose from...

Chen Yi's expression was somewhat strange.

Are sect missions really this hardcore?

As expected of the Thief of Heaven Sect!

Wang Bian took a drag of his cigarette and looked at Chu Qi with a wise gaze: "Then why are you still out here working?"

"Isn't it because I haven't contributed enough? Otherwise, I would have asked the sect's experts to help me, and I wouldn't have ended up in this predicament," Chu Qi said with some distress.

"Alright, buddy, I don't have time to mess around with you anymore."

Before Wang Bian finished speaking, a thick cloud of incense smoke appeared around him.

He started with a minor supernatural power!

A hint of regret flashed in Chu Qi's eyes, "It's a real pity that we couldn't reach an agreement."

Having said that, he also activated his minor supernatural power.

In the primeval forests, high-rise buildings have sprung up one after another.

Chen Yi and Wang Bian had previously learned from Wang Lin that the way to control the "mirage of mountains and seas" was to close their eyes and not look at it.

As long as you close your eyes, these mirages will no longer appear around you like a shadow.

"My backup should be here soon. Just a few more minutes..." Chu Qi muttered to himself.

As he spoke, he urged the faded die to move.

These dice are no ordinary dice, but rather dice treasures, a symbol of status for disciples of the Thief Heaven Sect, and also a formidable weapon.

It is said that even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot destroy it...

Chu Qi's department corresponds to a six on the dice, so his dice only have a six on them, with the rest blank.

The masked man belongs to the "happy sight" category, corresponding to one point on the dice.

"I'll take your luck!" Chu Qi stared greedily at the two people in front of him.

Now that Chen Yi and Wang Bian have closed their eyes, if he uses the same trick as when he stole Liu Yuetong's luck, the success rate of Foundation Establishment will definitely increase greatly!

"Whoosh!"

The dice rolls through the air without making a sound.

"bite!"

However, just as it was about to hit Chen Yi's face, it was deflected by an iron chain that came from the darkness.

"Why did it suddenly get dark?" Chu Qi looked up at the sky.

Although the area is shrouded in a trapping formation and the mist obscures some of the light, it is certainly not nighttime outside.

Before he could react, a token flew rapidly toward him.

But because of the darkness, he couldn't react for a moment.

"Click! Click! Click!"

An iron chain bound him and dragged him in front of Chen Yi.

Chu Qi was clearly taken aback.

How can the other person pinpoint my location so accurately even with their eyes closed?

Also, what exactly is that phantom?

He stared blankly at the illusory figure that had materialized behind Chen Yi.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind: Did this phantom have its own consciousness?

Even with Chen Yi's eyes closed, it could still act according to his will.

"Click-click-click!"

Sensing the chains tightening, Chu Qi finally showed a hint of panic: "We have no enmity between us. If you kill me, you will surely be hated by the Thief Heaven Sect."

Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Someone else will bear the consequences."

Having said that, the Earthly Wrathful Fire Spirit tightened the iron chain in his hand.

A deathly aura enveloped Chu Qi, and he fainted under the shock of this power.

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Yi snatched the other party's storage ring, and the dice cup was also taken into his possession.

He didn't intend to kill anyone.

After all, Chu Qi was right; the two sides had no enmity whatsoever, and he was only here to gain benefits.

Not only the benefits from the system and Cangyan High School, but also the benefits from Chu Qi himself...

"You can open your eyes now," Chen Yi said.

"All done?" Wang Bian opened his eyes and indeed saw Chu Qi's figure.

"You handled everything by yourself, making me seem like I'm useless," he said self-deprecatingly.

"This person is now in the hands of Cangyan." Chen Yi led Chu Qi to the other side.

As for what will happen next—whether it's soul-searching or something else—that's none of my business anymore...

...

At this time, Wang Lin's side had also finished the battle.

Compared to fighting, the masked man was more skilled in formations, but now that the formations were destroyed, he was no match for Wang Lin.

After all, Wang Lin was a member of the Wang family, with a Golden Core cultivator behind him, making him far superior to ordinary Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators.

However, judging from her appearance, she paid a considerable price in order to win over her opponent in a short period of time.

Looking at the Azure Flame Seed back in her hand, she immediately showed a relieved expression.

Then, she looked at Chen Yi, a strange light flashing in her eyes, "You've done a good job discovering the evil cultivators of the Thief Heaven Sect. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Chen Yi stared straight at her. "Any reward is acceptable?"

Wang Lin pursed his lips and smiled, "Tell me first, and I'll try my best to accommodate you."

Wang Bian, standing nervously to the side, gripped his cigarette holder tightly. "Hey, you're not going to... "

Damn it, don't do that kind of thing!

While Wang Bian was struggling with his inner conflict, Chen Yi no longer hesitated and spoke:

"I'd like to take a look at this masked man's storage ring. If there's anything I want, let me choose one to take..."

He glanced cautiously at Wang Lin and Wang Bian. "Is this request too much?"
