Neither Yan Ji nor Xiang Zhilan knew that three months ago, Ning Cheng had already completely deduced the exit of the Great Formation here. As long as he had enough formation-breaking materials and resources, he could leave this place at any time. At this moment, what he had deduced was not to go out from here, but to deduce how this great formation had been set up and then completely finish off this formation.
With his current level of formation, not to mention the formation set up by Zhi Lan, even if it was a level four or five formation, he could still consciously bypass it. No one could know how many mock formations he had set up in his sea of consciousness in three years’ time.
Ning Cheng had indeed been influenced by this formation when he did this, if he was truly in a fully awake state, he would never do such a stupid thing. He would have tried to find a way to rush out of here the first time he found the formation door, would he be able to waste time trying to figure out how to break the formation completely?
It was already very impressive to be able to get out of such a large formation, to break this formation completely, with Ning Cheng’s cultivation level, it was still a long way off. Perhaps after many years, Ning Cheng could unravel this great formation, but at least for now, he could not do it. At least not with his own abilities, unless his luck was truly unbelievable and he suddenly found out where the heart of the formation was.
As a continuous day passed, Xiang Zhilan and Yan Ji tirelessly set up various formations in front of Ning Cheng, but Ning Cheng would always bypass the formations and continue on his way.
At this time, the grey toot had already been cleaned by Yan Ji, and the grey toot felt that Yan Ji had no malice towards it, so it suddenly rushed behind Yan Ji’s buttocks and kept babbling.
“What’s going on?” Xiang Zhilan asked, looking at the grey toot that kept barking.
“I don’t know, he only barked like this after I became familiar with him, and he hadn’t barked like this before. And it always barks at my back.” Yan Ji also said in a depressed voice, she and Grey Tootoo were not familiar with barking and could still explain. Now that she was familiar with it, she couldn’t understand what was going on when Grey Tootoo barked like that.
Xiang Zhilan suddenly said, “This dog is very thoughtful, you see what is going on with it.”
Yan Ji also had this in mind, she glared at Grey Tootoo and said, “What are you barking at? The spirit fruit has given you so much, I set up the formation to help your master as well ……”
Grey Dudu suddenly jumped up and bit down on Yan Ji’s hind leg.
“Why are you biting?” Yan Ji hurriedly slapped Grey Tootoo away, if it wasn’t for the fact that this dog she liked a lot and was Ning Cheng’s beast pet, she would have slapped it to death.
“Wait ……” Xiang Zhilan’s face however changed slightly as her hand was placed on Yan Ji’s back.
Yan Ji blushed, even if Xiang Zhilan was a female cultivator, she was not quite used to this.
“Don’t move.” Xiang Zhilan’s tone was gruff.
Yan Ji heard the unusual tone of Xiang Zhilan’s voice, and did not dare to move again.
After a while, Xiang Zhilan lowered her hand and said, “Senior sister Ji, you have a divine sense mark on your body. The place where this puppy bit just now is a divine sense mark.”
Yan Ji’s face changed, “I’m in here, who would have placed a divine sense mark?”
Xiang Zhilan did not say anything, her divine sense swept through her body carefully, but she did not find any divine sense markings. She frowned and said to Grey Dudu, “Do you see if there are any marks on me?”
Grey Dudu didn’t even look towards Zhilan and went after Ning Cheng. Yan Ji hurriedly followed and called out, “Little Grey, hurry up and help Senior Sister Lan smell ……”
Hearing Yan Ji’s words, Grey Tootoo then reluctantly took a bite on Xiang Zhi Lan’s shoe as well.
Xiang Zhi Lan’s divine sense immediately fell on the place where Grey Tootoo had bitten, and it was only after a while that she said with an ugly face, “Senior sister Ji, I have also been marked with divine sense on my body. It’s just hard to recognise it, if it wasn’t for this puppy, it would have taken me at least a few hours to find it myself even if I knew.”
Yan Ji and Xiang Zhilan looked at each other, neither of them saying anything, both of them knew without having to say who had placed this divine sense mark.
“Senior sister Ji, no matter what the person who placed the divine sense marker thought, I don’t think this is a good thing for us.” Xiang Zhilan said worriedly.
Yan Ji was even more decisive than Xiang Zhilan, and after she understood that Feng Yushan had placed the divine sense mark, she immediately said, “Senior Sister Lan, you immediately help me cut off the piece of cloth that is the divine sense mark, and you cut off your own and throw it here, let’s hurry and leave.”
“What about him?” Xiang Zhilan pointed at Ning Cheng.
“Couldn’t care less.” Yan Ji spoke again urgently.
Xiang Zhilan knew that she had been here for a long time and was somewhat indecisive, and now that Yan Ji had made up her mind, she immediately cut off the piece of cloth on Yan Ji’s body that had a divine sense mark on it.
After removing the divine sense mark, Yan Ji rushed to Ning Cheng at the first opportunity, directly sealing Ning Cheng’s five senses, quickly carrying Ning Cheng on his back, and said to Xiang Zhi Lan, “Senior Sister Lan, take Little Grey and hurry to follow me, leave the divine sense mark here and we will escape immediately.”
Xiang Zhi Lan understood what Yan Ji was doing, if this was allowed to continue, when Feng Yushan lost his patience, this male cultivator called Senior Brother Cheng would be the first to suffer. Yan Ji also understood this, so he simply picked up the male cultivator on his back and fled.
Grey Dudu was grabbed by Xiang Zhilan and the two of them fled as fast as they could. It was not until they had walked out for a while that Yan Ji remembered to use his flying magic treasure.
……
A day later, Feng Yushan arrived at the place where Yan Ji and Xiang Zhilan had dropped their divine sense markers, his face ugly. He looked around and surprisingly chose a direction to chase them down. This direction, however, was exactly the direction that Yan Ji and Xiang Zhi Lan you had left.
While Xiang Zhilan was controlling the ship, she knew what Yan Ji was doing. Although Yan Ji had not removed all of the man’s clothes, it was only a matter of time before he did so. At the end of the day, Yan Ji would definitely strip the man naked.
Xiang Zhilan sighed, not because of Yan Ji’s actions. Rather, it was because such an outstanding disciple of the Qingxia Academy could only be with such a cultivator, making her somewhat sentimental. In her opinion, if she left this place, Ning Cheng would not be worthy of a single hair of Yan Ji’s head.
Yan Ji had completely tidied up Ning Cheng’s hair and even removed all of the disguises on Ning Cheng’s face. When she had shaved all of Ning Cheng’s beard, she froze in her tracks. How could he be so young? This was definitely less than twenty-five years old.
Yan Ji thought to herself that the best thing about her was not her looks, but her qualifications. She was already at the ninth level of Xuan Liquid when she was less than twenty-four, which was not many even in Le Continent. But this Ning Cheng in front of her, how could she be so young?
Ning Cheng’s five senses were closed, and under the impact of the Xuanhuang Origin, they soon loosened up. Yan Ji had no killing intent towards him, so he had been very calm. But at this moment, a strong sense of crisis came through, and Ning Cheng’s Xuanhuang Origin instantly rushed the closed five senses open, and he regained his senses in this instant.
Yan Ji’s hand had just untied Ning Cheng’s clothes when Ning Cheng had suddenly sat up, while grabbing Yan Ji’s wrist.
“Is that you?”
“You’re awake?”
While Ning Cheng recognized Yan Ji, Yan Ji was also surprised to know that Ning Cheng had woken up. Had she known that it would be so easy for Ning Cheng to wake up, she would have done it long ago.
Ning Cheng had already turned all the previous events around in his mind, his lost was somewhat different from others, at least what he was doing still had a clear goal.
Once these things had gone through, Ning Cheng quickly understood that it was Yan Ji who had made him wake up.
“Thank you, isn’t this the bottom of the Blood River? Why are you here too?” Ning Cheng asked as he looked at Yan Ji in confusion.
Yan Ji said joyfully, “I saw you surrounded by the Blood River Otter earlier and the tide of the Blood River was also rising, so I was worried about you, so I rushed up to save you, but I ended up coming here after failing to save you.”
Only then did Ning Cheng understand that people had come here because of him. He said somewhat unkindly and nicely, “I’m really sorry for making you delayed for a few years.”
Ning Cheng’s apologies were genuine, these few years were time he was sure that Yan Ji had been delayed. Yet he hadn’t delayed in the slightest, no one knew that at this time he was already a rank six formation master and was only one step away from advancing to the rank of formation sect master.
A Formation Grandmaster of less than thirty was appalling in the entire Yixing Continent.
Yan Ji did not hear Ning Cheng’s words, she said without a care, “It doesn’t matter, it’s not easy to meet an acquaintance here. Besides, we won’t even be able to get out of here in the future, so I don’t think we need to be too polite.”
Although Yan Ji had not yet thought about becoming any kind of Daoist couple with Ning Cheng, she thought simply, since we were all trapped here, there was really no need to be too polite.
Ning Cheng was about to tell Yan Ji that she could go out, when his divine sense swept up Grey Dududu. He felt a little guilty that he had forgotten about Ash Tootoo, if he hadn’t left a storage ring for Ash Tootoo, Ash Tootoo might have starved to death.
“Grey Dududu.” Ning Cheng called out.
“Eeeee ……” Grey Tootoo’s call had come through, while excitedly jumping inside. Ning Cheng was awake, which meant that it had its rations.
“Is it called Grey Dudu? It’s still really cute.” Yan Ji had finally learned the puppy’s name.
“I’ll clean it.” Ning Cheng took the initiative to say something when he saw that Yan Ji had no intention of going out.
Only then did Yan Ji understand and hurriedly took Grey Tootoo with him to leave.
Ning Cheng counted the Dust Removal Technique to clean himself up hurriedly and changed into another set of clean clothes before walking out.
“Senior Brother Ning, this is the senior sister I met in here, Xiang Zhi Lan. It turns out that she is also from our Qingxia Academy and has been trapped in here for a hundred years. Senior Sister Lan, he is Ning Cheng.” When Yan Ji saw Ning Cheng come out, he hurriedly introduced himself to both sides.
Xiang Zhilan also said in amazement, “Senior Brother Ning, I didn’t expect you to be so young. You are the first one who can study formations in here and still come to your senses.”
Xiang Zhilan was truly amazed that Ning Cheng could come to his senses, and likewise she did not expect Ning Cheng to be so young.
After thanking Xiang Zhilan, Ning Cheng suddenly said, “Senior Sister Ji, have you and Senior Sister Lan offended someone? How come someone is chasing towards our side?”
