Ye Chen’s actions stunned everyone, including An Ruoying and Zhu Ya.
At the same time, countless unfriendly gazes turned toward him. This was the Pure Buddha Temple! Who would dare to shout here? Was he tired of living?
If the person inside the temple was offended, they might all end up implicated!
Despite sensing their hostile gazes, Ye Chen remained unfazed. He simply heeded the black-robed old man’s words and rushed forward. If he allowed himself to be held back by this old man, it would only get harder to obtain that treasure!
When the old man heard Ye Chen telling him to get lost, he was furious.
Ye Chen was just one person. What qualifications did he have to tell them to step aside?
“Attack! capture this kid!”
The old man in the long robe and the others were just about to attack when a loud bang was suddenly heard!
Bolts of lightning actually came crashing down from the sky, and more than ten trees were charred by the lightning bolts!
Furthermore, the experts present were not spared either. Anyone struck by lightning died immediately!
Seeing this scene, everyone’s expressions changed. At this moment, all of Ilui’an Province seemed to be shrouded in darkness.
The moon could no longer be seen, and a chilly wind blew across the peak. As the eerie phenomenon continued, cracks started to appear under their feet. Sh*t! What was going on here?
The eyes of the old man from the Martial Arts Department were filled with fear, and he abandoned the idea of stopping Ye Chen.
He looked up at the sky, and then suddenly exclaimed, “The treasure has appeared!”
Glancing back at the experts from the Martial Arts Department, he roared, “No matter what, we have to get it! Young Master Zheng’s incident has already angered Grandmaster Zheng, so if we can’t obtain this item, we’ll definitely die!”
At this moment, a huge fireball appeared and streaked across the sky like a meteorite falling from outer space, leaving a long trail of flames!
The fireball picked up speed as it traveled, and the flames around it were gradually getting smaller and smaller!
An extremely powerful aura erupted and swept through Thousand Peaks Mountain, causing everyone’s blood essence to surge and roil.
The fireball landed somewhere toward the southeast of the Thousand Peaks Mountain!
It was as if an earthquake had struck the mountain, and structures and rocks toppled over, and cracks appeared all over the mountain.
Someone roared at this moment, “It’s in the southeast! Hurry up!”
Roused by this roar, the crowd rushed toward the direction in which the fireball had fallen, including the experts of the Martial Arts Department.
There was only one person who had not moved, which was the old man. He had suddenly realized that the direction Ye Chen had gone a few minutes ago was exactly where the crowd was headed toward right now!
His back was drenched in cold sweat.
This was too much of a coincidence.
Could it be that the kid had the ability to predict the future?
However, he did not have time to dwell on this matter, so he rushed after the crowd.
At the same time, An Ruoying had grabbed Zhu Ya’s hand and pulled her along. She said sternly, “Little Ya, follow me!”
Two minutes ago, Ye Chen had arrived at the center of Thousand Peaks Mountain.
“Kid, take another ten steps forward,” the black-robed old man said.
Ye Chen nodded and took ten steps forward. When his foot took the tenth step, his eyes widened.
“This is… the core of a formation!”
He was shocked to find that Thousand Peaks Mountain was actually a huge formation, and that the core of the formation was right under his feet.
Looking around him, he could actually see countless patterns in every direction…
Every tree, every path, and even the Pure Buddha Temple further away were part of the formation.
If someone were to look down from above, they would definitely notice that the top of Thousand Peaks Mountain now had ancient text scribbled all over it!
“Kid, there was an ancient killing formation here, but after time passed, it became damaged and useless! The only time that this formation could be reactivated was when the five stars aligned and a lunar eclipse occurred at the same time.”
“If I’m not wrong, an extraterrestrial spirit stone will fall here! The item in the extraterrestrial spirit stone is what you’re looking for! Also, there’s a hidden mechanism under your feet, so be careful, or else you will die!”
“It’s here! It’s here!”
As the black-robed old man’s voice rang out, countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky and bombarded the formation!
The air swirled around violently, and a storm that seemed like it would end the world descended…
And Ye Chen was at the center of the storm!
The blood essence in his body surged, and he was struggling to resist the powerful gusts of wind that came crashing toward him.
His hands formed a seal to try and condense an air barrier around him, but it was useless! The wind was too powerful!
Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale.
At the same time, he saw a blazing fireball coming straight at him, and immediately realized that this was the extraterrestrial spirit stone that the black-robed old man had mentioned.
However, the problem was that this extraterrestrial spirit stone was heading straight for the core of the formation…
And he was in its way!
He quickly moved to the side, but before he could get very far, a powerful explosion rocked the mountain, and a strong gust of wind knocked him off his feet.
Ye Chen realized that he no longer had time to dodge, and could only watch helplessly as the immense shockwave from the impact came rushing toward him.
Was he going to die here?
At this moment, a shocking dragon roar rang out, and the blood dragon rushed out of his body, exuding its fierce killing intent!
It hovered in front of Ye Chen, protecting him!
However, although it managed to offset a portion of the power of the shockwave, it was not enough. The blood dragon was torn apart, and Ye Chen’s body was sent flying again!
Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. Thankfully, he had survived with only minor injuries thanks to the blood dragon’s protection. He quickly turned his attention to the core of the formation, and spotted a translucent red spirit stone lying there.
It emanated terrifying waves of spiritual energy!
“Hurry up and get it!”
The black-robed old man’s voice rang out again.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. He bent his knees and shot out like an arrow. However, just as he was about to grab the spirit stone, a cold gleam flashed, and Ye Chen was forced to draw the Dragonslayer Sword and parry the attack.
At the same time, Ye Chen’s body was forced back a few steps.
Ye Chen stared into the darkness and said, “You’ve been hiding for so long. It’s time for you to show yourself!”
A round of applause suddenly rang out, and then a middle-aged man in a suit emerged from the darkness.
“Ye Chen, the number one expert in Jiangnan Province, and the bastard child of Jiang Rong and Ye Tianzheng. You really live up to your reputation. I’m really curious though.. How did you predict that it would land here?”
