Chapter 2351: My Fate Also Ends

As Hong Zun retreated, Ye Zhangqing also held a golden kitchen knife, Línglì flowing within him, he raised his hand and chopped the Formation with one strike.

The golden blade gleam flashed, fiercely striking the Formation.

This strike landed, the Formation was indeed shaken, cracks appeared; seeing this, Xu Jie couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Junior fellow disciple, you're formidable."

At last it succeeded; earlier, Qi Xiong and Yun Xiantai's attacks on the Formation had elicited no reaction at all.

It seems the power was simply insufficient.

But before the three could rejoice for long, a miserable cry rang out; they saw Hong Zun inside the Formation, as if struck out of nowhere by a blade, blood spraying.

Hmm???

Seeing Hong Zun knocked to the ground by the "slash," the three were dumbfounded.

Hong Zun is inside the Formation—outsiders can't even get in—who struck him?

"What's going on?"

Zhao Zhengping was numb, but Ye Zhangqing was the first to come to his senses; seeing Hong Zun with a wound appearing out of nowhere on his body, he frowned, glanced at the Formation, then at Hong Zun.

A bold guess suddenly sprang up in his mind.

"Master, this Formation probably cannot be forcibly broken."

Enduring the pain of his wound, Hong Zun asked doubtfully.

"Why?"

"Just now I attacked the Formation, yet Master got injured; it must be that this Formation is somehow linked to Master—if the Formation breaks, Master will die."

Hmm???

Upon hearing this, Hong Zun stared, Zhao Zhengping stared, and Xu Jie also stared.

What kind of absurd operation is this? Xu Jie, looking at the Formation he himself improved, wore a strange expression—could this Formation really be so outrageous?

Not only is its defense heaven-defying, it can also refine the life within the Formation, and now it's directly bound.

What are we to do?

His mind a tangled mess, at that moment Hong Zun inside the Formation couldn't help but let out a long, mournful howl to the heavens.

"My fate is finished.................."

Even forcibly breaking the Formation won't work— isn't this doomed?

Listening to Hong Zun's sorrowful cry, Xu Jie felt his neck almost shrink away.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing could only offer comfort.

"Master, don't be anxious; since forceful breaking won't work, we'll break it normally—but my Formation cultivation is insufficient, so I can only ask the Formation masters of Immortal Formation City to come."

It seems forcibly breaking this Formation won't work; Ye Zhangqing also dares not strike again.

After that blow just now landed, Hong Zun was already seriously injured; if a few more strikes came, although Ye Zhangqing felt confident he could break the Formation, Hong Zun would likely be hacked to death outright.

We can only have the Formation masters of Immortal Formation City come take a look.

Having said that, seeing Hong Zun nod, Ye Zhangqing continued to comfort him.

"Please endure a few more days, Master; I will now contact the people of Immortal Formation City."

"Alright, that's all we can do."

As the two spoke, Xu Jie pretended to be dead on the side, not daring to utter a word.

What could he say? Master probably wishes he could swallow him whole right now.

Afterwards, after chatting with Hong Zun a while longer, Ye Zhangqing, busy contacting the people of Immortal Formation City, left first, leaving Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping to stay with him.

Not far off, angry rebukes came from behind.

"Unfilial disciple, look at the mess you've made—what are we to do now?"

"Isn't the junior fellow disciple gone to fetch the people of Immortal Formation City?"

"What's that got to do with you? If you can trap the Master, then you ought to be able to release him!"

"It hasn't succeeded yet, but speaking frankly, Master, do you think this Formation of mine is fierce?"

"You damn........................"

Another day of Xu Jie being scolded as usual; hearing the shouting, Ye Zhangqing helplessly shook his head and gave a wry smile.

Our little master-disciple group seems never to have a peaceful day; every day is just this sort of "lively and bustling, with kind master and filial disciples."

All the way back to the Canteen, Ye Zhangqing didn't know the people of Immortal Formation City, but Tianlin and Miao Qianqian did.

At worst, Huang Lao and the others certainly knew them.

Right now Huang Lao and the others are busy constructing the Dong Fu; Ye Zhangqing plans to first ask Tianlin and the other.

Indeed, the two were in the backyard, imitating his pose, leaning on the Tǎng yǐ, feeling quite comfortable.

"Tian brother, Qianqian."

He called out softly; hearing it, they opened their eyes to look; Ye Zhangqing hid nothing, directly recounting the whole matter.

Hearing this, both clicked their tongues in amazement.

"There's still such a strange affair?"

"Your junior fellow disciple is a talent—he actually managed to research such a Formation."

"Alright, now isn't the time to talk about that; I sought you out to see if we could invite a Formation master from Immortal Formation City over."

Ye Zhangqing had no recourse; he could only seek professional help, and of course he wouldn't stint on what was due.

Upon hearing this, Tianlin readily agreed.

"A small matter; I'll contact Immortal Formation City right away."

As the young master of the Heavenly Family, Tianlin naturally has wide connections in the Immortal Realm; regardless of age, anyone who sees him will give him some face.

After all, the Heavenly Family is the foremost clan of the Immortal Realm.

Soon, Tianlin contacted an elder of the Formation King Immortal City, an immortal-level formation master.

After briefly explaining the matter, the other party was also very interested; in this world, who else could improve formations like this?

"A genius, truly a genius, since the Young Master Tian has spoken, I naturally won't refuse."

"Then please trouble the senior."

That elder from the Formation King Immortal City readily agreed and said he would definitely arrive at the Dao One Immortal Sect within three days.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and then sincerely thanked Tianlin.

Tianlin waved his hand indifferently, saying it was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

"However, hearing you say that, I really want to go see it."

"Exactly, Ye Zhangqing, take us to have a look, okay?"

"This................"

They were somewhat worried about Hong Zun's mood, but Tianlin and Miao Qianqian had no other thoughts; they were simply curious.

Even they had never seen such a bizarre formation.

After the two's repeated requests, and considering that Tianlin had just helped a great deal, Ye Zhangqing finally nodded and agreed.

Not long after leaving, he brought Tianlin and Miao Qianqian back again.

At this moment, Hong Zun was probably tired from scolding, and having been injured again, he was resting with his eyes closed.

Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping obediently guarded outside the formation.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing leave and then return, the two found it strange.

"Junior Brother, what are you................"

"Tian Brother and Qianqian are worried about Shīzūn's condition, so they came to check."

"Many thanks, Young Master Tian, Holy Maiden Miao."

Ye Zhangqing's words were somewhat tactful, and Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping also made a deep bow, verbally expressing their thanks.

After a few brief pleasantries, Tianlin and Miao Qianqian immediately began to inspect the formation.

The two were quite well-versed, and in their cultivation they had dabbled in many areas, so they knew a little about everything.

This formation was no different; after looking around, just like Ye Zhangqing, they couldn't make sense of it.

They muttered strangely.

"How strange, this formation's rank isn't high, why can't I even find the formation base?"

"Don't mention the formation base, you haven't even found the formation eye—this formation is just absurd."

The two sighed.
