‘So you’ve dabbled a bit in formations too.’
Ye Yunfei sneered, then stamped his foot, landing precisely on a formation node.
Instantly, the violent formation energies around them, which had resembled raging storm waves, vanished without a trace, leaving behind a complete calm.
‘What?!’
Both the Celestial Medicine Princess and Xiao Fang were stunned.
The two of them had been trapped within this formation for a long time and knew all too well how terrifying it was.
Yet this unfamiliar young man before them had dispelled its power so effortlessly.
‘Only Grandfather and I can control this formation! How can he manipulate it too?
It must be a coincidence—sheer dumb luck!’
Lan Tianluo was both startled and furious.
‘Bastard! Die!’
Lan Tianluo roared. He continuously formed hand seals while stomping his feet furiously, looking as if he was performing some ritual.
Boom!
Immediately, the great formation within the entire valley began to riot. Surging formation energies materialized from all directions and rushed violently towards Ye Yunfei.
‘Semi-understanding.’
Watching Lan Tianluo’s formation-control technique, Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but shake his head.
While Lan Tianluo indeed had some proficiency in formations, in Ye Yunfei’s eyes, it was crude, backward, simple, and childish.
Controlling this formation required no such complicated control techniques from Ye Yunfei.
Tap!
Facing the onslaught of formation energies from his surroundings, Ye Yunfei once again casually stamped his foot, appearing utterly calm and unruffled.
In a flash, all the formation energies dissipated.
‘So this young master is also proficient in formations!’
The Celestial Medicine Princess was not foolish; how could she not see by now that this young man before her was also a formations expert, and seemed quite skilled at that!
‘Princess, this young master was sent by the Patriarch to save us!
His formation skill is so formidable!
We’re saved!’
Xiao Fang, holding the Princess’s arm, was overjoyed.
‘Impossible!
He can also control this formation!’
Shaken and enraged, Lan Tianluo triggered the formation several times in succession to attack Ye Yunfei.
Yet, every single attack was completely nullified by Ye Yunfei with a simple stamp of his foot, making it look incredibly easy.
‘How… how is this possible…’
Unable to accept reality, Lan Tianluo staggered back, his spirit seemingly shattered.
His pride had always been his achievements in formations.
But now, even if he didn’t want to admit it, it was clear that this brat who had suddenly barged in possessed higher skill in formations than he did!
‘No!
I must inform Grandfather immediately. Grandfather will deal with him!’
Lan Tianluo secretly crushed a jade slip in his hand.
At the same moment, deep within the Ancient Formation Zone, inside a palace…
‘What?
Tianluo is in trouble!
And his location is right within this formation area!
How can this be? Tianluo’s formation skills have at least inherited five or six-tenths of my true ability. How could he encounter trouble within this area?’
An old man with half-white hair and a thin, shrewd, and slightly sinister face sat cross-legged within the palace. He suddenly opened his eyes and spoke suspiciously.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, the old man’s figure flickered as he dashed out of the palace, speeding towards the valley where Lan Tianluo was located.
At that moment, back in the valley…
‘Now, it’s my turn.’
Having been attacked by the formation under Lan Tianluo’s control several times, Ye Yunfei’s expression darkened slightly as he spoke with a cold smile.
As he spoke, he lightly stamped his foot again.
Boom…
Majestic formation energy suddenly erupted, crashing towards Lan Tianluo like a tsunami.
‘Stop!’
Horrified, Lan Tianluo’s hands moved like butterflies flitting through flowers, rapidly forming a series of seals that merged into the surrounding formation. Simultaneously, he stamped his feet repeatedly, looking like he was performing a shamanic dance, desperately trying to halt the formation’s onslaught.
But it was useless.
Wham!
The surging formation energy slammed directly into Lan Tianluo, sending him flying. He spat out mouthfuls of blood and crashed onto the ground in the distance, struggling and unable to get up.
‘Excellent!’
Both the Celestial Medicine Princess and Xiao Fang were ecstatic and cheered out loud.
‘This young master’s skill in formations is far superior to Lan Tianluo’s! This time, we are truly saved!’
The Celestial Medicine Princess was extremely excited.
‘Y-you… you dare injure me!
You just wait! My Grandfather will definitely not let you off!
Brat, you’re dead for sure!’
Far away, with countless bones broken in his body and severe internal injuries, Lan Tianluo couldn’t even get up. He glared at Ye Yunfei with venomous hatred, speaking through gritted teeth.
‘No! Young Master, Lan Tianluo has a grandfather who is a formations expert with truly profound skill.
Now that you’ve injured Lan Tianluo, his grandfather is surely aware and will arrive shortly!’
Hearing Lan Tianluo’s words, the Celestial Medicine Princess’s face changed drastically as she hurriedly spoke to Ye Yunfei.
‘That’s right!
Young Master, Lan Tianluo’s grandfather is genuinely formidable in formations.
We must escape immediately!
Can you get us out of this formation?’
Xiao Fang also pleaded in panic.
‘Of course, I can take you out of this formation; it’s too simple.
But there’s no need to hurry.
I’d like to meet this grandfather of his.’
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
‘This brat doesn’t know his own limits! He actually wants to meet my Grandfather. You’ll know regret very soon!’
Lan Tianluo heard Ye Yunfei’s words and inwardly felt pleased.
In his mind, his Grandfather’s skill in formations was unbeatable and would surely teach this brat a harsh lesson!
‘Young Master, we really should leave quickly. Lan Tianluo’s grandfather is a true Formation Master. This great formation was originally his creation!’
The Celestial Medicine Princess urged anxiously.
‘Yes! Young Master, you must believe us! If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!’
Xiao Fang was frantic as well.
‘This formation… was set up by his grandfather?’
Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
After all, the formation in this valley was genuinely remarkable. Only a top-tier formations expert like Ye Yunfei could unravel it so easily. If any other formation master came, even if they managed to break it, they would likely require several years or even decades to succeed.
Who could possibly unravel it as effortlessly as Ye Yunfei did in such a short moment?
If Lan Tianluo’s grandfather could set up such a sophisticated formation, then he truly was a master of the art!
‘Lan Tianluo told us this himself! Young Master, let’s go! Hurry!
Otherwise, it’ll be too late!’
Both the Celestial Medicine Princess and Xiao Fang urged him repeatedly.
‘Thinking of fleeing now? Too late, I’m afraid!
Brat, you dare injure my grandson? I will make sure you live in agony worse than death. You’ll regret this thoroughly!’
Just then, a voice filled with venom echoed through the valley.
Boom!
The formation within the valley erupted in violent upheaval. The entire valley seemed to experience a massive earthquake, shaking and swaying violently. For a moment, dust and stones flew, and the sky darkened.
‘Hahaha… Brat, my Grandfather is here!
You’re finished!
Celestial Medicine Princess, you shrew! I’ve spent all these years trying to curry your favor, and in the end, you actually collude with your lover to deal with me.
You just watch. I’ll make sure to torment you thoroughly!’
At that moment, Lan Tianluo let out a maniacal laugh.
‘It’s over!
Lan Tianluo’s grandfather has arrived!
Now, we can’t escape even if we want to!’
Both the Celestial Medicine Princess and Xiao Fang were gripped by terror, their faces filled with despair.
