"Don't be surprised!! He's very familiar with these things. Ask him about any historical figures, and he can basically tell you detailed information about them!!" Ye Lanyu said with a smile, seemingly trying to dispel any concerns, but her proud face was telling everyone, "My brother is amazing, isn't he? You admire him!!"

The Second Sister also showed surprise at this moment. Her understanding of Ye Lang was limited to what she had heard from her childhood.

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Feng Xing asked. Since he was a person from a thousand years ago, it was impossible to find someone to punish him. At most, we could try to find out why he did this.

The most urgent task is to let Ye Lang deal with the immediate matter and stop the Alchemy Array from activating further!

Currently, Ye Lang is the most suitable candidate!

"Let's go there!!" Ye Lang pointed in a direction that seemed to be the highest point of the Holy Mountain, the Cloudtop Palace in the Holy City.

"Why are we going there? Aren't we supposed to stay in the other three places?" Feng Xing asked, looking at the Cloudtop Palace with some confusion.

Why would Ye Lang abandon three buildings on the verge of collapse and run to the safe Cloudtop Palace? Was it for safety's sake, to avoid taking any risks?

If that's the case, then that's fine too. We'll handle those three places!

"Guards, escort the Young Master to the Cloudtop Palace and notify the Light Alchemists to stop the Alchemy Array in the other three locations from activating..." Feng Xing thought for a while and then took it upon himself to make the arrangements.

"Wait!!" Ye Lang raised his hand to stop him. "Those three places are fine. Call the people there. I don't have time to go to the Cloudtop Palace!"

"Young Master, that's the Cloudtop Palace..." Feng Xing understood; Ye Lang didn't know where the Cloudtop Palace was.

Information about the Holy City is extremely scarce, and Ye Lang unfortunately had no contact with it and was unaware that the highest point was the Cloudtop Palace.

"Oh, that's the Cloudtop Palace. You said Sida is there, so that means that important figures are all there?" Ye Lang asked, looking at the Cloudtop Palace, a look of relief appearing on his face, as if he had figured something out.

Feng Xing nodded and said, "Yes, not only the more important ones, but almost all the highest-ranking members of the Holy Church are there. It is the most sacred place in the Holy Church, and our Holy Maiden is also there!"

When the Holy Maiden was mentioned, an unusual expression appeared on Feng Xing's face, and he looked at Ye Lang...

"Then I understand, this makes perfect sense!!" Ye Lang snapped his fingers. "Have everyone from the Cloudtop Palace evacuate, leaving only the alchemist with me!!"

"?? Evacuation?" Feng Xing was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized. "Young Master, are you saying that the Cloudtop Palace is also a collapsed place?"

"Yes! Mainly the Cloudtop Palace!!" Ye Lang nodded in reply. At this moment, as they were talking, they had already spurred their horses toward the Cloudtop Palace.

"Ah, how is that possible? Troy Muma didn't participate in the construction of the Cloudtop Palace, not even in its maintenance! The Cloudtop Palace existed long before the Holy City was established, and the maintenance personnel have always been the core members of the Holy Church. They wouldn't let someone like Troy Muma do it!!" Feng Xing couldn't understand it at all.

"I know! That's why ten other buildings collapsed. Otherwise, the Cloudtop Palace would have collapsed directly!" Ye Lang replied casually after pondering for a moment.

"Huh?" Feng Xing was confused again, but he quickly figured it out.

"You mean, because you can't directly enter the Cloudtop Palace, Troy Mumma built ten structures and used the Alchemy Array formed by these ten structures to attack the Cloudtop Palace?"

"That's right! This Troy Mumma is indeed a genius. He can come up with such an Alchemy Array. It's not simple!" Ye Lang said with some admiration.

"Then why don't you destroy the Alchemy Array in the other three places? That way you might destroy this Alchemy Array!" Although Feng Xing didn't know much about Alchemy Array, he still knew this common sense: if Alchemy Array is destroyed in one place, it may lose its original function.

"It's no use. Not to mention that this Alchemy Array cannot be broken in a short time! And the consequences of breaking it might be even more serious than they are now!" Ye Lang shook his head.

Ye Lang could break the Alchemy Array, but it would take time, and that time would be enough for the Alchemy Array to complete its mission. In other words, it would be completely unnecessary for Ye Lang to try to break the Alchemy Array.

At the same time, judging from the layout of this Alchemy Array, Ye Lang could tell that it had a backup Alchemy Array. Destroying it could destroy even more places, or even the entire Holy City!

It must be admitted that this Trojan was a genius!

An Alchemy Array built by a prodigy over decades is something even an alchemical genius like Ye Lang would find difficult to deal with!

Of course, Ye Lang also gained a lot from this Alchemy Array. After all, it was the culmination of decades of work by an alchemy prodigy, and the amount of knowledge and creativity it contained was immeasurable.

At this moment, Ye Lang could only sigh at Newton's words, "I stand on the shoulders of giants."

It is because of the hard work and dedication of our predecessors that our knowledge and skills can reach new heights. This is the accumulation of knowledge, which cannot be achieved by one person alone, but requires the efforts of countless people and generations!

In the days that followed, Ye Lang used the results of this Alchemy Array on more than one occasion!

"What should we do then? The Cloudtop Palace isn't something we can just evacuate at will..." Feng Xing said with a headache. If it were anywhere else, it would be fine, but the Cloudtop Palace is too special.

"It doesn't matter if they don't evacuate, but I can't guarantee that those inside will be safe!" Ye Lang waved his hand dismissively, having already made his point clear. The rest was up to them to choose, and it had nothing to do with him.

"This... I believe in Young Master, young master, you can do it!!" After a moment of hesitation, Feng Xing suddenly became resolute.

"Little brother, I didn't realize you had such a high reputation here. They all have a lot of faith in you!" Ye Lanyu said with a smile. She could tell that Feng Xing was so determined because he believed in Ye Lang.

Although it sounds simple, the amount of accumulation required to have such confidence is a question that Ye Lanyu's Second Sister and others present had all thought about, and because of this, they all found it a bit unbelievable.
