Chapter 1731

The one beaten by Ye Zhangqing had no temper at all, and Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing naturally had no face to stay any longer.

Furthermore, after using the Lock Heaven Great Formation, although it successfully trapped Ye Zhangqing and the two others, it also meant that the outside world could not harm them either.

So staying would be pointless, aside from losing face.

No matter how Luo Jiuyou shouted, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing had no intention of turning back; they left without looking back and soon disappeared from sight.

Only when he could no longer see the figures of Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing did Luo Jiuyou turn and curse at Ye Zhangqing resentfully.

"Damn this bitch, Brother Ye Zhangqing, once we get out I'll definitely kill her."

Luo Jiuyou still had some self-awareness; although he wasn't afraid of Qing Shen Ji, neither was she afraid of him—at best they were evenly matched, the kind of situation where neither could do anything to the other.

But just because Luo Jiuyou couldn't kill that bitch doesn't mean nobody can.

Doesn't Ye Zhangqing have that ability? He can fight two against one and make that bitch Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing flee in disarray; if he gets a chance, one‑on‑one, that's certainly doable.

Besides, with me helping from the side, wouldn't that bitch die?

Just hearing that, Ye Zhangqing smiled and shook his head, without replying.

They were now completely trapped by the Lock Heaven Great Formation; afterward, Ye Zhangqing and the two others each tried in turn to break it.

But the result was that their attacks struck the formation without causing even a ripple.

It was like a mud cow entering the sea—let alone breaking the formation, there wasn't even any hope to be seen.

"Impossible, this is a half-step Ancestor-level formation; not to mention us, even an Emperor Sovereign at Perfection would probably struggle to break it."

Hei Lin shook his head helplessly and gave up; Ye Zhangqing did the same—this was obviously useless.

Only Luo Jiuyou remained unwilling to give up, continually trying various attacks to break the formation.

He used talisman seals, formation disks, every means he had, and finally even brought out the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's token.

He summoned the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's soul avatar; as soon as it appeared, the soul avatar questioned doubtfully.

"What's wrong? Have you entered the Path to Immortality? Is Little Ye Zhangqing alright?"

When Luo Jiuyou summoned his own soul avatar at such a time, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's first thought was that they had run into trouble.

After all, the Path to Immortality is perilous, and Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing are watching like tigers.

But before his words had even finished, before Luo Jiuyou could reply, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor glanced around and was instantly dumbfounded.

"What the hell, what's going on with you? Is this the Imperial Palace's Lock Heaven Great Formation?"

"Never mind that—the old coot of the Imperial Palace gave the Lock Heaven Great Formation to Qing Shen Ji, and we've been trapped by that bitch."

After briefly explaining the situation to his own ancestor, upon hearing Luo Jiuyou's words the Nether Clan Old Ancestor first gave Ye Zhangqing a strange look.

He fought two against one and ultimately forced Qing Shen Ji to use the Lock Heaven Great Formation just to survive and flee—how outrageous is this kid's combat power?

But now isn't the time to talk about that; Luo Jiuyou kept urging from the side.

"Old man, think of a way to break the formation—we're trapped and can't get out."

"Hah, no way."

Upon hearing that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor immediately shook his head and replied, without missing a beat.

A half-step Ancestor-level formation would require even his true self to expend considerable energy to break it; trying to do so with just a soul avatar is pure fantasy.

Moreover, the soul avatar has a time limit—this brief moment is nowhere near enough to break open the Lock Heaven Great Formation.

Furthermore, the soul avatar's combat power, though it has reached the Ancestor level and exceeds Emperor Sovereign, still falls short of his true self.

So, forget about breaking the formation.

Hearing his ancestor's words, Luo Jiuyou's face instantly darkened.

"Old man, you're a grand Ancestor and you can't even break a Lock Heaven Great Formation? That's too much of a loss of face."

"Don't try to goad me with that; I won't fall for it—breaking a formation with a soul avatar is pointless. Just wait calmly; when my true self comes in, we'll talk again."

Having said that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's soul avatar immediately dissipated.

Who would have thought things would turn out like this? The only silver lining is that although the Lock Heaven Great Formation trapped Ye Zhangqing and the two others, it also indirectly protected their safety.

With the Lock Heaven Great Formation in place, one can basically say their lives are safe.

So we'll just wait slowly until they can also enter the Path to Immortality, then we'll rescue them.

Watching his ancestor vanish directly, Luo Jiuyou's face darkened; this old man is becoming increasingly unreliable.

He was about to complain to Ye Zhangqing and the other guy, but upon turning around he saw the two already building a stove.

Luo Jiuyou's face darkened, and he snapped angrily.

"I'm telling you, look at what time it is—still thinking about eating?"

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing lowered his head, working while he replied.

"What else can we do? Anyway there's nothing we can do—just wait, huh, you're not eating?"

This Formation is clearly impossible to break now; since we can't break it, what can we do?

Instead of wearing a worried face, it's better to accept things as they are; let's first eat and drink our fill, then talk.

Ye Zhangqing remained calm; hearing that, Luo Jiuyou didn't even think, shouting while already stepping forward to help.

"Eat, why not eat, you stinky woman; once I'm full and break the Formation, I'll definitely kill her."

Even in the midst of busyness, Luo Jiuyou still didn't forget to curse there; Ye Zhangqing and Hei Lin heard it helplessly, so they simply paid no attention to him.

We're all trapped by the Formation and can't break it; what's the point of cursing here? Let's honestly wait for the elders to act and rescue us.

Anyway, with our three cultivations, there's no risk of starving to death; as for whether this Immortal Ascension Path will be like Liufang Dizhi, where one's lifespan runs out after three or five hundred years, we three aren't worried.

It's been three hundred years already; the elders surely can't still be unable to get in, right?

So for now, besides relaxing, there seems to be no other way; anyway, that's what Ye Zhangqing thinks.

Fortunately, Ye Zhangqing's Space Ring always stocks various ingredients, and with the three of us' appetite, eating for several years is no problem.

There's also plenty of wine, so after the stove was set up, Ye Zhangqing smiled and proactively asked Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Can we choose?"

Ye Zhangqing proactively asked what dishes they wanted to eat; hearing this, Luo Jiuyou's eyes widened instantly, as in the past just being able to eat a mouthful of pot rice would already be not bad.

Even ordering dishes is extremely rare, let alone Ye Zhangqing proactively asking you.

I never expected this happiness to come so suddenly; is this a pie falling from the sky? Such a big pie directly knocked Luo Jiuyou dizzy and swollen-headed.

Looking at Luo Jiuyou's dazed expression, Ye Zhangqing smiled faintly and said.

"Hmm, I can make anything I have here; boldly tell me what you want to eat."
