You Call This an Ingenious Method?

The reverb and echo effects of Tianyou Vast Heaven's voice almost made Chu Xinghe's brain explode.

I came here to dump resources... Am I planning to activate the ruins?

However, although Chu Xinghe was confused, he was not flustered at all.

I had done my homework before coming. I'm not the Chu Xinghe I used to be anymore. I had a backup plan.

So what if the ruins are opened?

So what if there are countless treasures inside?

It's not like our Vast Heaven Sect is the only one here; other sects can come in too, right? So as long as we just lie low, the other sects will definitely take all the treasures. Don't worry, junior brothers and sisters, I'll take care of leading you to a peaceful retreat. As for the rare treasures and such... let them fight over them. We can't do anything so dangerous.

While others are grabbing the treasure, we'll be responsible for dodging it; we can't possibly lose this round.

Of course, Chu Xinghe couldn't directly say that he was going to lie down and relax, so for now, he followed the normal procedure and had everyone explore the surroundings.

Soon, the surrounding area was explored and understood.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, this place seems to be a maze!"

"Yes, I almost got lost just now..."

Hearing his junior brothers' words, Chu Xinghe was overjoyed.

Mazes are great... Senior Brother Xinghe loves mazes the most. The essence of a maze is its mystery. We can wander around aimlessly for days, waiting for everyone else to collect all the treasures. Then we can just use the Flute of Space and Time and be gone. How could we possibly lose then?

Soon, Chu Xinghe also checked the surroundings.

You wouldn't know unless you checked, and once you did, you were completely dumbfounded.

This is no ordinary maze; it's an array maze. I've heard the vice sect leader talk about it before; its name should be the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation.

The maze is composed of an array and countless branching paths. The entire maze consists of nine layers, each corresponding to one of the nine star positions. There are 1,080 different branching paths in the entire array maze, but there is only one true path. All the other paths are incorrect.

Not only are they wrong, but the most terrifying thing is that these other wrong paths, once entered, will directly activate the formation. The power of this formation is extraordinary. Even if this great formation may no longer be able to exert its maximum power due to the passage of time, if one really wanders into such a formation, there is always the possibility of losing one's life.

Chu Xinghe was completely stunned by what he saw.

Ouch... what are you doing...?

What's wrong with me wanting to take my junior classmates on a few-day maze trip?

Wouldn't it be better to just trap us here for a few days?

You create this kind of killing formation without warning. What if someone gets killed if I wander around with my fellow disciples?

I brought them here so they wouldn't cheat me, not so they would get screwed over...

After much deliberation, Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and took out the Flute of Space and Time!

So you don't want me trapped here, huh? Fine, I'm not playing along anymore. I'm just using the Flute of Space and Time to leave. This is the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation; I'm worried about my junior brothers and sisters. For their safety, I'm even giving up my treasures. Isn't that reasonable?

He crushed the Flute of Space and Time directly... Chu Xinghe felt a white light emerge from the Flute of Space and Time, and the next second... everyone saw a flash of white light, and then... they didn't move...

What the hell is this? Didn't Feng Yuzheng already successfully research it?

Why am I still being teleported to the same spot?

Unconvinced, Chu Xinghe crushed the Flute of Space and Time in the hands of his fellow disciples again, and then... everyone was still standing there...

After three failed attempts, Chu Xinghe realized that it wasn't the Flute of Space and Time that was malfunctioning; it was the entire ruins that were abnormal. This Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation had the ability to block teleportation, and the Flute of Space and Time's teleportation array couldn't break through this barrier, so he couldn't even leave...

Chu Xinghe looked utterly hopeless...

The junior disciples around them were also completely shocked.

As expected of our Senior Brother Xinghe! When he suddenly crushed the Time- Senior Brother Xinghe Flute of Space and Time, everyone's first reaction was, "Senior Brother Xinghe, what are you doing?"

But soon when the Flute of Space and Time failed to teleport, everyone understood Senior Brother Xinghe's good intentions.

Senior Brother Xinghe is showing everyone with facts that you can't rely on the Flute of Space and Time to save your life here. Senior Brother Xinghe is really awesome. If we hadn't discovered this point, we would have been doomed if we had used the Flute of Space and Time in a dangerous situation.

Senior Brother Xinghe has eliminated all potential problems for us in advance.

A group of junior brothers and sisters were all moved to tears; Senior Brother Xinghe really has experience.

Chu Xinghe was squatting on the ground, his body numb. What should he do now? Could someone please give him some advice?

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xinghe stood up. Looking at the group of junior brothers and sisters waiting for him, Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and stamped his foot. What else could he do? Let's go... find the right way out first.

Although the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation was terrifying, Chu Xinghe proved with facts that his innate talent for Innate Formation Mastery was definitely not undeserved.

Along the way, Chu Xinghe easily found the correct path at every fork in the road, leaving his fellow disciples dumbfounded.

Several junior brothers and sisters who had heard of the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation exclaimed in admiration, "My Senior Brother Xinghe's mastery of formations is simply unparalleled!"

We've got this treasure hunt in the bag!

While Chu Xinghe was leading everyone to find the right path, Tantai Jing had already led the people of the Demonic Sect into the maze.

Although Tantai Jing didn't know much about formations, Wu Xingyun had arranged for four super formation geniuses who had Yan Shoujing's secret teachings to accompany him. The four of them immediately recognized the true nature of the maze.

Tantai Jing exclaimed in admiration that Yan Shoujing's formation was truly amazing; with the four of them working together, breaking through the formation and advancing through the levels was effortless.

"Four senior brothers, please speed up! Let's catch up with Chu Xinghe as soon as possible. If we can kill him here, this mission will be a complete success!"

Tantai Jing was beaming with excitement.

The Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation here restricts teleportation, so even with the Flute of Space and Time in hand, Chu Xinghe would have no chance of escaping.

The day is the day to kill Chu Xinghe!

The four formation geniuses' eyes lit up upon hearing this, and they began to break through the formation with all their might.

Tantai Jing held the Dark Moon Shuttle in his hand, his face full of excitement. The Dark Moon Shuttle was the key to this ruin. Now that he had the Dark Moon Shuttle in his hand, he could even clearly sense the position of everyone in the formation.

Soon, Tantai Jing located Chu Xinghe's position. He wasn't far away and would catch up soon. "Chu Xinghe, you're doomed!"

Watching the four array geniuses desperately trying to break the array, Tantai Jing had already figured out how to deal with Chu Xinghe. He couldn't let him die directly; that would be too easy for Chu Xinghe. He had to torture him severely so that Chu Xinghe would know what true cruelty was.

But Tantai Jing had only been studying the cruelty for ten minutes when a problem arose...

Why does it seem like I'm getting further and further away from Chu Xinghe?

Tantai Jing quickly realized what was going on... his four array formation geniuses were no match for Chu Xinghe's speed...

This is ridiculous! You, Chu Xinghe, may be Innate Formation Mastery, but you've only been studying formations for a few days!

The four of me beside me have been studying under Yan Shoujing for many years, okay?

How can it be that the four of them combined are not as fast as Chu Xinghe alone?

They're still chasing Chu Xinghe... and the distance is getting farther and farther away, what's the point of me chasing them...?

The four array formation geniuses were also dumbfounded, watching Tantai Jing jump up and down cursing, asking if they could still do it...

The four of them were speechless... Tantai... we really tried our best...

We were fighting like crazy, but the problem wasn't that we were bad; it was just that Chu Xinghe, that scoundrel, was too ruthless...

Tantai Jing's mouth was dry from cursing. He hadn't even spared Yan Shoujing! Was this Yan Shoujing really a spy infiltrated into the Vast Heaven Sect?

Come and see for yourself! Just how amazing are the formations you taught Chu Xinghe? And you call this a spy?

But as the distance grew ever wider, Tantai Jing was sweating profusely with anxiety...

At this rate, it would be impossible to catch up with Chu Xinghe, so Tantai Jing turned his attention to the Dark Moon Shuttle.

That's right! I have the Dark Moon Shuttle's perception capabilities, so why let these four useless guys find their way here? Wouldn't it be faster to use the Dark Moon Shuttle's ability to find our way?

Thinking of this, Tantai Jing released a handsome male ghost from within his body without hesitation. Guided by Tantai Jing, the ghost began to traverse the maze at high speed.

As expected, influenced by the Dark Moon Shuttle, the ghosts easily found the correct path, and their speed immediately increased several times.

As the distance between him and Chu Xinghe began to shrink, Tantai Jing felt a surge of murderous intent.

Chu Xinghe, so what if you are unparalleled in formations? You are still doomed to die.

Unaware that Chu Xinghe Tantai Jing following behind him, Chu Xinghe was already doing everything he could to stall for time...

At each fork in the road, Chu Xinghe tried his best to delay as much as possible, but his strength wouldn't allow it. As soon as he broke through the formation, the correct path would be revealed instantly, so quickly that there was no way to delay.

Hearing his junior brothers and sisters praising Senior Brother Xinghe's unparalleled array skills, Chu Xinghe burst into tears. "This is too much for me!"

Just as Chu Xinghe broke through an array to confirm the correct path and was preparing to continue forward, a faint light suddenly drifted out from behind him.

The sudden appearance of the eerie light drew everyone's attention. Chu Xinghe turned his head and saw a ghostly figure flying out of the maze passage with a sinister laugh.

"Chu Xinghe... this is where you die today... wait for me, I'll be there soon..." Tantai Jing's voice came from the ghost's mouth.

"Whoosh..." A sword shadow flew out from Chu Xinghe's arm, Evil Repeller directly smashed the Yin Soul into pieces.

Damn... when did Tantai Jing get in? He was so fast!

Seeing the drastic change in the expressions of his junior brothers and sisters around him, Chu Xinghe took a deep breath. He wasn't afraid of Tantai Jing, but his junior brothers and sisters were a different story...

At this moment, Chu Xinghe felt that things were going to be really tough. He had originally planned to bring a group of junior brothers and sisters with relatively low strength so that they wouldn't have a chance to betray him.

But who would have thought that bastard Tantai Jing would show up here?

However, compared to the panic of his junior brothers and sisters, Chu Xinghe remained completely calm.

"Keep your composure, everyone! What's so scary about a mere Demonic Sect? They think they can catch up with us? That's wishful thinking! I have a clever plan!"

Hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, everyone calmed down. Sure enough, Senior Brother Xinghe had a backup plan... But what was Senior Brother Xinghe's backup plan?

Chu Xinghe remained calm. "You think you can catch me in the maze? Don't even mention you, Tantai Jing; even if you sent our Vice Sect Master, you'd be doomed!"

Playing mazes, huh? Who the hell can beat me, Chu Xinghe, faster?

Amidst the puzzled gazes of his fellow disciples, Chu Xinghe took off his shoes and tossed them into the air with a soft thud...

The shoe landed, pointing to an intersection ahead. Chu Xinghe waved his hand... "This is the road! Charge!"

The younger students at the scene. "???"

Um... Senior Brother Xinghe, are you fucking serious?

Are you sure we won't be wiped out if we go this way?

You call this a wonderful method?
