Chapter 2350: Disobedient disciple, you intend to betray master and destroy ancestors?

Seeing Xu Jie's sheepish grin, such a well-behaved side, Ye Zhangqing had rarely seen it.

According to past experience, whenever Xu Jie showed this expression, it meant he had caused a major disaster.

He asked doubtfully.

"Shī xiōng, what are you doing? By the way, where is Shīzūn? Why haven't I seen him?"

Upon returning to the Sect, I didn't see Hong Zun.

At Yun Xiantai, Qi Xiong and the others had all come, only missing Hong Zun alone.

Ye Zhangqing already felt something was off; in response, Xu Jie hemmed and hawed, unable to explain for a long time.

Meanwhile, Zhao Zhengping, seeing this, stood up and spoke.

"I'll say it: Shīzūn is trapped by the third martial brother, and is about to be refined."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing looked at Xu Jie with an incredulous expression, "What do you mean? You want to refine Shīzūn?"

Facing Ye Zhangqing's gaze, Xu Jie shook his head repeatedly and explained.

"I didn't mean to; it was an accident."

Then Xu Jie began to explain helplessly.

It turned out he had been studying talisman formations, wanting to see if there was any way to increase their power.

Xu Jie's intellect need not be said; he is absolutely clever.

But this guy follows a wild path, self-taught, so his approach has gone somewhat astray.

He had just made a breakthrough and was testing it when Hong Zun came looking for him for something; he stumbled into the formation and got trapped.

The matter isn't actually complicated; after hearing it, Ye Zhangqing also casually said.

"Why not just dispel the formation? Or are you afraid Shīzūn will punish you, so you dare not?"

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"The problem lies right here."

Huh???

"I can't control that formation now."

Huh???

The formation was set up by Xu Jie, and Hong Zun was trapped by him, but now Xu Jie can't control that formation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing was stunned; is there such a maneuver?

The most outrageous part is that after Xu Jie's minor improvements, the formation gained the ability to refine all life within it alive.

Before, at Yun Xiantai, Qi Xiong and the others had tried everything, but Xu Jie's formation is truly formidable; they simply couldn't break it.

They had originally wanted to contact Ye Zhangqing, but he sent a message first about the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree.

How precious the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree is, everyone naturally knows which is more important.

Moreover, after obtaining the Nine-Heavens Precious Tree, Ye Zhangqing still had to return to the Sect, so after discussion, everyone decided to let Hong Zun endure for a while.

Anyway, he won't be refined in the short term and can hold on a bit longer.

After hearing Xu Jie's explanation, Ye Zhangqing remained silent for a long time, then spoke with a complex tone.

"Come on, take me to have a look first."

"Okay, younger martial brother, you must definitely say a few good words for me in front of Shīzūn; I really didn't mean to."

"Okay."

Ye Zhangqing nodded helplessly; he could imagine Hong Zun's current feelings.

Whoever was trapped in the formation for over a month, facing its refinement every day, and the key point is that the culprit is his own disciple—who could feel comfortable?

Under Xu Jie's guidance, Ye Zhangqing went all the way to a hilltop behind the Sect.

Before even approaching, he heard Hong Zun's shouting.

"Disobedient disciple, disobedient disciple, you traitor who betrays master and destroys ancestors, why are you researching this thing for no reason?"

Hearing Hong Zun's scolding, Xu Jie shrank his neck and gave Ye Zhangqing a sheepish look.

Ye Zhangqing gave him an encouraging look; things have already happened—could he possibly avoid them?

He could only face it bravely.

Encouraged by Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie steeled himself and came to the outside of the formation.

The formation isn't large, and Hong Zun is currently sitting inside it.

His hair disheveled, veins bulging on his forehead, especially upon seeing Xu Jie, he was furious.

"Master, disciple...................."

"Disobedient disciple, you still dare come? Do you want to anger me to death?"

"Master, I know I was wrong."

"Then let me out."

"I'm not trying to find a way?"

"What's the method then?"

"I've brought the younger martial brother."

Xu Jie turned sideways, pointed at Ye Zhangqing behind him; seeing Ye Zhangqing, Hong Zun was first startled, then delighted.

"Zhangqing, quickly let me out, I'll fucking kill this disobedient disciple."

"Master, don't rush; let the disciple first examine this formation."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll wait for you."

Then Ye Zhangqing stepped forward to survey the formation, while Hong Zun surveyed Xu Jie.

Facing Hong Zun's deathly stare, Xu Jie only felt cold sweat pouring down his back; that gaze was clearly saying.

Rebellious disciple, just wait until I, your master, get out—I will definitely make you look bad.

That gaze exerted ever greater pressure on Xu Jie, to the point that he unconsciously muttered a sentence under his breath.

Junior brother, perhaps we should go back and think it over before speaking again.

If this is let out for the master, he won't eat me alive, will he?

Xu Jie was a bit afraid, but as soon as he said that, it was like pouring oil on fire, causing Hong Zun to go berserk directly.

Rebellious disciple, what did you say? Are you doing this on purpose? Do you just want to trap your master here, revealing your fox's tail?

Master, I...............

Master, calm down; senior brother didn't do it on purpose either.

Regarding this, Ye Zhangqing also had no choice; he could only offer comfort.

He then turned his head and gave Xu Jie a warning look: if you speak again, even a true immortal couldn't save you.

After exchanging a glance with Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie hastily shut his mouth, daring not to say more.

As for Hong Zun, he gritted his teeth until they creaked, his gaze growing ever colder.

After walking around the Formation once, Ye Zhangqing actually only had a superficial understanding of it, failing to see a way to break it.

Coming before Hong Zun again, facing the anxious Hong Zun, Ye Zhangqing could only speak truthfully.

How is it, Zhangqing?

Master, I also can't understand Third Senior Brother's Formation.

Rebellious disciple, what do you claim you do all day?

For now, we can only try to break it with force.

Good, good, good; no matter how we break it, as long as it lets me out, it's fine.

Upon hearing that, Hong Zun nodded repeatedly; he didn't care how he would get out, as long as he could get out.

He's been trapped in this Formation for over a month, and he's truly had enough.

Previously, Qi Xiong and Yun Xiantai and they also tried to forcibly blast the Formation, but those few now are only at the Immortal realm cultivation.

Working together, they actually couldn't break this rebellious disciple's Formation; this Formation is truly like a turtle shell.

But now Ye Zhangqing has arrived, and his cultivation is at the Venerable Immortal realm, far surpassing Yun Xiantai, Qi Xiong, and the others.

With Ye Zhangqing making a move, there will certainly be no problem.

Seeing hope of getting out, Hong Zun's mood finally improved a bit; at this moment, Ye Zhangqing stood before the Formation, also having prepared to act.

Master, please step back a little; I will now make my move.

Good.

Upon hearing that, Hong Zun retreated backward, leaving enough space for Ye Zhangqing.
