Meng Xinghe arranged for Xi Che and his new men to live in Xiaoyao Mountain - this sect has no name, it is just called Xiaoyao Mountain, simple and plain - the place they lived in was a bit like the dormitory allocated by the previous unit, two people in a room, one room connected to another, and it was also a neat and simple model room.

Just looking at the dormitories, you would think Xiaoyao Mountain is a pretty formal sect.

After everyone went to bed that night, Xi Che finally couldn't help it and woke up Chu Yan, who was sleeping on another bed in the room: "You said we would know the outcome tonight. What exactly happened? Can you tell me now?"

Chu Yan glanced at the sky outside and said, "It seems to be about time. Let's go."

"Where to?"

Chu Yan took Xi Che to the place where Meng Xinghe met them. On the way, he told Xi Che that he thought the center of the illusion array they suffered in the cave might be in this place.

Xi Che asked casually: "Why do you feel so?"

Chu Yan was silent for a moment: "This is my intuition, you believe me."

After coming here, Chu Yan felt a subtle energy nearby. This energy had the intention of suppressing his cultivation. Chu Yan suspected that this was the center of the formation. He had never seen such a strange thing that could suppress the cultivation of the gods in his life, and could only think of what happened in the cave. But of course he couldn't explain the reason to Xi Che. Saying too much would make it easier to expose himself.

If it was something else, Xi Che might be suspicious, but this matter was related to the two magic weapons he left behind after all, so he couldn't just deny this possibility. Besides, Chu Qi was usually taciturn and didn't seem to be very good at explaining, so there would be no harm in going with him to take a look.

So the two of them took advantage of the cover of night to return to the place where the demons gathered during the day, looking for the so-called center of the formation. Now that everyone had left, the two of them sneaked into the empty hall without being stopped by anyone. However, Chu Yan's sense of the energy was not so precise. He could only feel its approximate location, so he suggested going into the hall to take a look.

"Wait a moment."

Xi Che stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't rush in."

He stood outside the door and looked at the empty hall. The chair placed high in the hall looked even more lonely. Xi Che stared at the hall for a long time, suddenly smiled, and muttered to himself: "So cunning."

Chu Yan knew that he had seen the problem, so he asked: "What?"

Xi Che looked at the hall and said: "Look carefully at the floor tiles on the ground."

Chu Yan followed his gaze and found that the floor tiles here were very unusual. These tiles were not the same color. Ordinary palaces would use the same kind of tiles. Although sometimes patterns would be formed for beauty, those were also regular patterns. The tiles here were very messy, and it was impossible to tell what shape they were. At a glance, the floor tiles seem to be made of three colors: blue, red, and white. Each tile is cut into very small pieces, and the sizes and shapes are different. This is also very unreasonable from a construction point of view - after all, it is very difficult to splice the floor tiles in that way. It is easier to cut them into large squares or rectangles and put them together.

However, the overall color of these floor tiles is dark, and the lighting here is not that bright. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell that there are three colors of bricks here.

These bricks are obviously not joined like this for the sake of beauty.

Chu Yan looked for a while longer before his eyes went dark, his vision blocked by a hand.

It was Xi Che. He subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and as a result, that hand covered his eyes tightly. Then he heard Xi Che say, "Don't stare at you for too long. Don't you feel dizzy?"

"..."

His hands felt cold again. Chu Yan's eyelashes rubbed lightly against his palm. He didn't know if Xi Che felt it, but it made Chu Yan a little distracted.

...How could Asa be like this, just covering a man's eyes.

He was in a very conflicted mood. As for "Chu Qi", they had some intimate actions after all. It didn't seem like a big deal for him to cover his eyes, but Asa had also been with "Chu Yan". It was a bit uncomfortable to think about it.

Before Chu Yan could react, he had already turned his head to avoid Xi Che's hand. Xi Che was completely unaware of his little action - he hadn't intended to cover his eyes all the time, he just didn't want him to look for so long, so no matter whether Chu Yan dodged or not, he would take his hand away.

Xi Che just continued to explain: "The floor tiles here are arranged according to the formation. The different colors of the floor tiles form the formation. Most people will not think there is anything wrong with the floor tiles, but once you step in, you will be tricked. No wonder no one is guarding here. It seems that the owner of the formation is very confident and thinks that his "little trick" will not be discovered."

After hearing what he said, Chu Yan turned his attention back to the floor tiles here. He knew that Asa liked to study things that were more "unconventional" than what they learned in the course, so he also became serious: "There is a formation even here? I didn't feel it when I came here during the day."

"I didn't notice it at that time, but when I think about it carefully, we gathered here during the day, and we were led by people in black robes the whole time, so the routes we took were all correct routes, and naturally we would not trigger the formation here. But if you sneak in and walk around here aimlessly, it is easy to trigger the formation."

Xi Che said, pointing forward along the base of the wall of the hall: "Go all the way along the bottom of the corner, the color and shape changes of the floor tiles are the most complex, and the changes in the

formation there are the most complex. According to common sense, if someone sneaks in, the possibility of sneaking around is relatively high, so such a careful design was made." Chu Yan nodded: "This hall clearly has nothing but a chair, and everything is in plain sight, but such a complicated formation is used, as if it is protecting some treasure."

Xi Che smiled and said: "Maybe the formation here is protecting that chair."

"Really?"

Although Chu Yan asked this, he already understood that there must be something wrong with the chair, because Asa showed a very confident smile on his face. Every time he showed this expression, he was confident.

Xi Che said, "Why don't we go over and take a look."

Chu Yan cooperated with him patiently: "Then do you know how we can get there?"

Xi Che seemed to suddenly remember that he had to conceal his identity, and explained: "I just happen to know."

Chu Yan didn't say anything, thinking, as long as you are happy.

So Chu Yan followed Xi Che into the hall, almost walking in Xi Che's footsteps. As Xi Che walked forward, he thought, just looking at the formation here, he was almost certain that the person who set up the formation had a deep connection with him, and the method of setting up the formation inherited his style, so he could crack it so easily.

Ah...suddenly he didn't want to explore what was going on. He was so afraid that in the end he would only face one reality and find out that he was really the kind of devil who could bring harm to the world for thousands of years even after his death. Then he would really feel guilty.

Xi Che turned his head away and pouted his lips in grievance where Chu Yan couldn't see - but he just liked to study these things, he was just happy to invent and create, he never used his inventions to harm others, nor did he let others use them to harm others, he was so wronged.

However, he quickly calmed down and brought Chu Yan to the chair. Xi Che squatted in front of the chair and looked at it for a long time. He was surprised to find that there were three or four defensive magic circles around the chair. If any one of them was touched, they might be left here and could never get out. The person who built this hall was so meticulous and cautious that it was frightening. In his impression, Jin Lingzi was not such a meticulous person. Could it be that he was not the one who built the hall?

Xi Che's mind was in a whirlwind, but his hands were not idle. He stared at it for a long time before he stretched out a hand and carefully felt around the chair with two fingers. The layers of mechanisms gradually aroused Xi Che's competitive spirit. The person who set up the formation seemed to be showing off his skills. He even vaguely felt that he seemed to be declaring war on himself, the founder of the formation. It seemed that he was using this show-off method to prove to himself that he had learned his skills, but was better than him.

Childish, even a little cute.

Being able to feel the maker challenging himself as the founder through such a combination of formations across time and space, I have to say that the guys who made these formations are quite capable.

Xi Che felt for a long time and finally felt a bulge on an inconspicuous carved part of the chair leg. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows - he was asking for a fight! It seems that he is still better.

Xi Che pressed the bulge and pushed it down hard. A series of mechanical clicking sounds came from inside the chair, and then the whole chair vibrated, even causing the floor tiles under his feet to vibrate. Chu Yan subconsciously pulled Xi Che away from the chair, and the chair fell over with its back facing down, and the floor tiles around the chair began to sink.

However, this time Xi Che and Chu Yan did not dodge, because although the surroundings were shaking violently, they could feel that the shaking inside the hall was not very violent, but rather very stable.

This feeling is hard to describe. It's like a door is opened, and there is no sense of danger. Even Xi Che couldn't help but sigh in his heart - this mechanism is really ingenious.

Chu Yan now understood why the owner of this place would set up a formation to protect this chair. This chair turned out to be an entrance switch. A switch was protected so complicatedly, so the things inside the mechanism must be even more powerful.

Could it be that the center of the formation is right below?

Chu Yan only thought so in his mind, because even now, he still couldn't clearly sense where the center of the formation was. It was too magical.

The landing took a while, and after a long time, the mechanism here stopped moving. Xi Che looked at the place above his head where the "floor" had turned into a "ceiling", and was surprised from the bottom of his heart - he did not expect that under such an empty and inconspicuous hall, there was actually an underground palace hidden.

Yes, he could only use the word "underground palace" to describe this place. The ceiling was very high, about ten meters above the ground they were standing on. It was not a simple basement at all.

"Can you feel the center of the formation?"

Xi Che had just asked when he noticed that Chu Qi was looking towards the top right of his head. He followed his line of sight and realized that he didn't need to ask this question at all, because not far away, there were two familiar magical weapons floating in the air.

The Da Chi and Zhu You that he had always wanted to find were all here... They were actually here!

Xi Che subconsciously took a step forward, but his feet felt as heavy as lead, as if he encountered a huge resistance. It felt as if he had become the south pole of a magnet, and the two magic weapons were located at the north pole of the magnet. There was a huge repulsive force between them, which prevented him from ever getting close to them.

Xi Che opened his eyes wide in shock. He could feel that a powerful formation had formed around the magic weapon suspended in mid-air, and the power was far beyond what he could bear now.

Xi Che subconsciously looked at the person next to him - he knew his magic weapon, and it would only become stronger when facing a strong opponent. Is the person next to him so powerful? He just thought he was a more powerful demon!

Chu Yan also noticed the problem at this time. He naturally recognized the two magical weapons in the air, but what attracted him more was the formation composed of the two magical weapons.

He even thought he had seen it wrong.

"Xi Che, do you recognize this formation?"

Xi Che suddenly came back to his senses, took a closer look, and gradually frowned: "This is a Yin Gathering Formation..."

Chu Yan nodded, but his expression did not relax. He stared at the top of his head and whispered: "Look what that is."

Countless iron chains radiated from the formation formed by Da Chi and Zhu You, extending into the deeper darkness. The iron chains were stretched straight, and after extending out, they turned back and then shrank into a point in a radiating manner. The radiating iron chains and the turned back iron chains formed the shape of two inverted cones, and at the top of the cone, there seemed to be something tied.

It was not clear from their end what that thing was.

Xi Che suddenly had a bad feeling, but Chu Yan suddenly became excited. He grabbed Xi Che's shoulder and took him to the center of the formation: "Go and take a closer look!"

With Xi Che's level of cultivation, he was completely unable to move forward even a single step in this formation, but Chu Yan still had the strength to fight against him. The two of them quickly came to the center of the formation. The two stood at the center of the circle projected by the cone, looked up, and finally saw the "thing" at the other vertex.

It wasn't a thing at all, but a person... a person who looked very familiar.

It was a young man in red clothes, with long hair loose and eyes closed, seemingly unaware of the outside world. His arms were tied up with countless chains, which were so tight that it seemed that if he was not tied up like this, he would break through and fly out. His legs hung limply, and on each ankle was a string of tongueless golden bells… He seemed dead, but his face was so rosy, as if he would open his eyes in the next second and reveal a spirited smile.

Xi Che opened his eyes wide in shock. He was dumbfounded and speechless in surprise. Because that young man was none other than himself in his previous life! No, it should be said that it is the real Azas!

...

Shit...He's already dead, who hung him here to dry as bacon? !
