Chapter 305: Heaven’s Secret Great Formation
After obtaining what he wanted, Ji Yang naturally did not go back to find Ren Yuning.
Now that he had the items, it was time for him to attempt an escape.
However, Ji Yang was still somewhat conflicted about which exit to take; Heaven Demon City had four city gates, and it was clear that the Heaven Demon Sect had made arrangements at each entrance.
From his earlier reconnaissance, Ji Yang understood that leaving through the east gate and heading straight would swiftly lead him back to He Dao Sect.
But Ji Yang believed the defenses at the east gate must be the strictest, so he decided to take the west gate instead!
Though it was counterproductive, they definitely wouldn’t expect him to use this exit.
After pondering, Ji Yang stopped hesitating and rushed toward the west gate!
As Ji Yang approached the west gate, he saw many people being checked and questioned before exiting, with sharp gazes from high-level cultivators scrutinizing each departing cultivator.
Yet, these obstacles were insignificant to Ji Yang; his disguise was so effective that even the elders of the Heaven Demon Sect could not see through it. Additionally, he possessed an identity token and other items, so he thought these cultivators wouldn’t investigate him further.
Just as Ji Yang prepared to leave the city, several figures quickly descended from the sky.
Ji Yang looked toward the figures landing ahead and was momentarily taken aback.
Why was it Elder Guan and the others? Shouldn’t they be busy setting up the formations?
While Ji Yang was observing them, Ren Yuning and her companions also spotted Ji Yang in the crowd.
“Feng Yu? What are you doing here?” Ren Yuning immediately stepped forward with a puzzled expression.
Ji Yang could only explain,
“I was following Wu Laoda, but before I found any flaws, he left the city.”
“By the way, how did you all come here?”
Ji Yang shifted the topic to ask.
Ren Yuning smiled and replied,
“Uncle Qu has set up the Heaven’s Secret Great Formation and will soon use it to track Ji Yang’s whereabouts.”
“The arrangement at this city gate is relatively weak for the Heaven Demon Sect. Uncle Guan suspected that Ji Yang might escape from here, so we came in advance to wait for him.”
“Um…”
Ji Yang’s gaze went a bit blank upon hearing this.
He hadn’t expected to run into them by chance.
What was he supposed to say?
Ji Yang was at a loss for words.
With Elder Guan and Elder Qu nearby, Ji Yang couldn’t directly leave the city, so he tentatively said,
“Senior sister, should I pursue Wu Laoda now that he’s left the city?”
Ren Yuning shook her head slightly:
“There’s no need to chase after him since he hasn’t shown any abnormal behavior. Since you’re here, just stay and watch.”
"That’s good; I also want to see what kind of person Ji Yang really is."
After Ji Yang said this, he stood to the side.
But in his heart, he secretly observed his attribute panel.
【Name: Ji Yang】
【Age: 20】
【Realm: Initial Stage of Spirit Transformation】
【Techniques: Feather Transformation Ascension Skill, Huang Ting Dao Jing】
【Abilities: Heart Sword, Sword Cultivation, Breathing Technique of All Things, Soldiers from Beans, Wandering Spirit Commanding Energy, Thunderous Power, Thousands of Sword Energies, Feather Transformation】
【Cultivation: 28/999】
【Unavailable】
【Status: Heaven’s Jealousy】
【Status: Heavenly Punishment】
Looking at his meager cultivation points, Ji Yang couldn’t wait to return to Jingtan Peak to farm.
However, seeing that the status section had not changed, Ji Yang felt much calmer.
Perhaps the Heaven’s Secret Great Formation was just a name, and it was all in name only.
"Elder Guan, please help me activate the formation!"
Elder Qu took out the formation disc he was using to control the formation and spoke to Elder Guan beside him.
Elder Guan nodded, and then both of them activated their internal powers and injected them into the formation disc.
As they infused their powers, four illusory banners suddenly appeared on the formation disc.
With each banner that appeared, an invisible beam of light lit up around Heaven Demon City.
These four beams of light fell on the four sides of the city gates, corresponding to the formation nodes that Elder Qu had already arranged, thus activating the great formation!
As the four beams of light rose, many cultivators in the city sensed it and looked up at the sky.
However, most cultivators lacked the strength of primordial spirit energy to see the beams; they only displayed confusion on their faces.
As for some high-level cultivators in the city, they showed expressions of fear.
Such formations were clearly not something ordinary people could set up. This was Heaven Demon City; it must be the work of the Heaven Demon Sect. These cultivators merely took a glance before averting their eyes, thinking no more about it, as long as it didn’t concern them.
Some hidden cultivators in the city felt uneasy, secretly guessing whether it had something to do with them.
But upon reflection, they realized they probably weren’t important enough for such a grand formation and felt relieved again.
After the formation fully condensed, Elder Guan took a strand of his hair and threw it onto the formation disc in front of him.
Seeing Ji Yang’s puzzled expression, Ren Yuning explained,
“Uncle Guan has battled with Ji Yang before. This is to lock onto Ji Yang’s aura using Elder Guan’s hair. In this way, he cannot escape!”
As the hair was thrown onto the formation disc, it instantly vanished. Elder Qu then took on a serious expression and began to manipulate the formation in his hands.
As the formation was activated, a mist slowly emerged from the formation disc.
The formation had already begun to use the Heaven’s Secret Pearl to search for Ji Yang.
Meanwhile, Ji Yang felt anxious because the Heaven’s Secret Pearl inside him was radiating a dim light and spinning incessantly.
It was obvious that the function of the Heaven’s Secret Pearl was beginning to show, but he didn’t know which was stronger or weaker.
If the Heaven’s Secret Pearl failed to successfully shield him, he would be in big trouble.
On the formation disc, hazy mist continued to appear, but they could never see beyond the mist.
Elder Qu snorted coldly upon seeing this:
"This child indeed has a corresponding treasure to protect himself!"
"Elder Guan, please lend me a hand!"
"Alright!"
Can they still work together? Ji Yang thought to himself that this was not good.
Once Elder Guan joined in, the Heaven’s Secret Pearl inside Ji Yang spun at an even faster speed, making it hard for Ji Yang to see its specific form.
Not long after, the Heaven’s Secret Pearl slowly came to a stop, no longer spinning.
What is this? Did it suffer a malfunction?
As the Heaven’s Secret Pearl stopped operating, the mist on the formation disc gradually dispersed, revealing a corner of a familiar scenery!
When Ji Yang saw this familiar view on the formation disc, his heart sank.
This was Heaven Demon City, and it looked somewhat familiar. Upon closer inspection, wasn’t this the side of the place where he had stayed?
"Hmph, this child is indeed still in Heaven Demon City!"
The two manipulating the formation also recognized the familiar building and exclaimed with joy.
Just as the two were about to increase their power output, the scenery that was gradually appearing suddenly vanished.
At the same time, a vague figure suddenly appeared above Heaven Demon City.
This figure was blurry, making it impossible to see their face, but a pair of sharp, piercing eyes looked straight at the place where Elder Guan and the others were standing.
The two who were locked onto by the gaze were startled, and before they could react, an invisible Sword Light slashed toward them.
As they tried to fight back, the Sword Light was already upon them.
With the Sword Light’s strike, the formation disc in Elder Qu’s hand immediately shattered.
As the formation disc shattered, the figure above Heaven Demon City also disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.
