Ye Chen was wary upon hearing this, but then his gaze turned icy cold. "I have a plan. If he comes, I'll make sure he dies a horrible death!"
Outside the great formation, half an hour had passed.
The sheep demon national advisor, who was manipulating the Bagua mirror, shot out a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Strategist, Commander Hua, we've found the lifeline! But it's fleeting and won't stay there for long, so we need to hurry."
"Um!"
Gu Jian and Hua Mudan nodded together.
A moment later, Gu Jian arrived in the demon chariot with Feng Yantong and Tu Xiaowu.
Along with Peony, the Sheep Demon National Teacher, and two thousand demon soldiers, they entered the Gate of Life.
The remaining six thousand-plus demon soldiers were left behind.
Gu Jian ordered the demon army to guard the eight directions of the great formation to prevent Ye Chen from escaping.
With a flash of light, Gu Jian had already arrived at the Gate of Life area.
The scene around him surprised Gu Jian.
It resembles the interior of the ocean, like an underwater world.
But Gu Jian saw a maze made up of walls of water.
Through the wall of water, Gu Jian could also see some "marine creatures".
As a formation master, Gu Jian knew that these so-called marine creatures were formation guards formed from the profound secrets of the grand formation.
The strange sight also attracted Rabbit Xiaowu and Feng Yantong.
After observing for a while, Gu Jian discovered some more traces under the demon chariot—human footprints.
There are quite a few.
Clearly, Ye Chen had passed through here.
"Sheep Demon Grand Tutor, lead the way. Find Ye Chen as soon as possible."
"Yes, strategist!"
The Sheep Demon Grand Tutor led the way, carrying a Bagua mirror.
Along the way, many array guards, formed from the mysteries of the array, emerged.
He was eventually killed by the demon army led by the demon army.
This place, the gate of life, is like a maze.
Along the way, I don't know how many forks in the road I've passed.
Fortunately, the Sheep Demon National Master had excellent skills in formations and a good sense of direction.
Otherwise, one will surely get lost in this gate of life.
They walked for about half a day.
The Sheep Demon King, who was walking ahead, stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Jian asked.
The Sheep Demon Grand Tutor turned around and said, "Strategist, look ahead. There are many guards blocking our way."
Gu Jian looked over.
Then, sure enough, many guards were seen.
There are hundreds of them, most of them look like marine creatures, but each one exudes a powerful aura, the aura of the Reincarnation Realm.
Seeing this, Hua Mudan frowned and said, "Why are there so many formation guards gathered together? And blocking the way?"
This is how we got here.
They only did so when they accidentally triggered the secrets of the grand formation.
Only then did the guards outside the water wall charge in.
Each time, only a very small number of them break in, but there are so many right now.
Gu Jian smiled and said, "It must have been Ye Chen who did it."
“He knew we had killed someone and were coming into the formation to find him, so he deliberately used these formation guards to stop us.”
Hua Mudan then asked, "But can he control the formation guards?"
Gu Jian shook his head and said, "It's not difficult. If they have some unique array treasures, they can influence the mysteries of the array. It's not difficult to attract the array guards here."
"Um!"
The flower demon leader, Hua Muyan, nodded.
She knew that as one of the five major sects in the human realm, the Misty Sect was not lacking in array treasures.
Hua Mudan then asked, "What should we do with so many guards blocking our way?"
Gu Jian said, "Just kill him."
Peony frowned again and said, "Won't this trigger the secrets of the great formation again?"
Gu Jian nodded and said, "Yes. But this is where the Gate of Life is located. Even if the mysteries of the great formation condense more formation guards, we can still deal with it."
It's nothing more than losing some demons.
Gu Jian didn't feel sorry for him.
Gu Jian found Ye Chen's actions rather interesting.
Since the array guards within the Gate of Life were of limited strength, Gu Jian did not believe that Ye Chen's purpose was to have them kill him.
But it's certain that we can stall him for the time being.
It's likely that they're brewing some more "big moves" in the future.
But Gu Jian won't give him that chance.
The sooner they catch up with him, the greater the probability of Ye Chen's death.
"In that case, kill all these guards."
Hua Mudan immediately issued the order.
She dispatched five hundred demon soldiers to attack the more than one hundred guards.
The guards in the Saint-level formation immediately launched a counterattack.
They were quite powerful, and the battle was extremely fierce, causing the world where the Gate of Life was located to tremble slightly.
The secrets of the grand formation were triggered, attracting more formation guards from the other side of the water wall.
However, it was no use.
Half an hour later, all the arriving guards were killed by the demon army.
The demon army suffered some losses, but not many.
Approximately several dozen demons died.
Since everyone was present at Hua Mudan's gathering.
Gu Jian did not collect the corpses of these demons immediately.
He looked into the distance and saw a blue cone-shaped energy appearing in a corner of the gate area.
Gu Jian scanned it with his divine sense and discovered fluctuations of spatial laws on it.
A look of surprise flashed across Gu Jian's face, and he said to the Sheep Demon Grand Preceptor, "Grand Preceptor, come with me to take a look."
"Yes, strategist."
The Sheep Demon Grand Tutor nodded.
Gu Jian jumped down from the demon chariot, and Feng Yantong quickly followed.
Peony looked at them and followed.
A moment later, Gu Jian led the Sheep Demon National Teacher to the location of the cone-shaped energy.
After examining it for a moment, Gu Jian discovered that it was a teleportation point within the formation.
Once you step into the cone-shaped energy, you can reach other parts of the great formation.
In addition, Gu Jian also sensed Ye Chen's aura remaining on it.
Gu Jian looked at the Sheep Demon Grand Preceptor, who was also observing the cone-shaped energy, and asked, "Grand Preceptor, have you noticed anything?"
The Sheep Demon Grand Tutor, like an old charlatan, pinched his fingers and said, "Strategist, this is a teleportation point. I sense the aura of metal."
"The eight gates of the Eight Gates Gui Water Holy Spirit Array have different attributes, with the Open Gate belonging to Metal. This teleportation point can reach the Open Gate area of the Eight Gates Gui Water Holy Spirit Array."
"There's still Ye Chen's aura up there. Ye Chen should have led his men to the area where the door opens."
"Um!"
Gu Jian nodded; what the Sheep Demon Grand Tutor said was roughly in line with his judgment.
But Hua Mudan asked, "Why did he go to open the door?"
The Sheep Demon Grand Preceptor said, "There are many possibilities. Perhaps opening the door brings him the opportunity he desires. Or perhaps he wants to use this method to reach the center of the formation. The center of the formation also holds the opportunity he desires."
Hua Mudan frowned, feeling that the possibility was quite high, and asked again, "You mean, it's possible to enter the center of the formation through the opening?"
The Sheep Demon National Preceptor said, "No, the center of a Saint-level array is not so easy to enter."
"The old demon just deduced the way and came to some conclusions. To enter the center of the Eight Gates Gui Water Holy Spirit Array, one must pass through the five major areas in sequence: the Open Gate, the View Gate, the Rest Gate, and the Wound Gate. Only after reaching the Wound Gate can one enter the center of the array."
Hua Mudan asked in confusion, "Can't we just enter through the life gate?"
Despite being a bewitching peony demon, she looked rather silly and cute at this moment.
Gu Jian smiled and couldn't help but say, "If it were that easy, it wouldn't be a Saint-level formation. The Sheep Demon National Preceptor's deduction was correct."
