Another Route (3)

He might just be browsing around without any particular purpose!

Many people believe this to be true, including the Knights of Light who followed behind. It was because they understood this that they looked up when they entered the staircase.

If it were any other group of people, they would have chased downstairs and wouldn't have noticed that Ye Lang had already run to the sixth floor!

The figures of Ye Lanyu and the other two women flashed by in their eyes. If it had been a little later, they wouldn't have noticed them and would have had to rely on the guards on the sixth floor to notify them.

The guards on the sixth floor saw Ye Lang and his group of four appear from afar, but they made no move and continued with their work. This was because the entire palace now knew of Ye Lang's presence, and the Knights of Light behind Ye Lang also meant that they didn't need to do anything else.

After arriving on the fifth floor, Ye Lang didn't look at anything else. He walked straight to a place, passed through several corridors, and entered a room that was empty.

"??"

Ye Lang followed Ye Lanyu into the room and found nothing else inside, which puzzled her. What was Ye Lang up to? Was he lost?

"Little brother, what's wrong? Did you go to the wrong place?" Ye Lanyu asked.

This is also the question the Seventh Princess wanted to ask: how did he inexplicably end up in this empty room? If Ye Lang had slowly found his way here, it might have been because he was looking for Alchemy Array. But Ye Lang just walked over quickly, without any sense of feeling his way or even looking at his surroundings.

Therefore, Ye Lang came here either because he got lost or because he had some other purpose that no one else knew about.

"I didn't go the wrong way! This is it!!" Ye Lang shook his head and replied, then looked at the ground and walked step by step. This time, he seemed to have become more careful.

"Is there a problem here?" Ye Lanyu asked, while also observing her surroundings. She couldn't see anything wrong no matter how she looked at it.

Ye Lang didn't answer, but just stared at a spot on the ground, as if he had found the "thing" he was looking for.

"Xiao Yan, can you tell anything?" Ye Lanyu quietly asked Zhen Xiaoyan. Zhen Xiaoyan was the only alchemist here, and Zhen Xiaoyan also knew Ye Lang quite well, so asking her was the most appropriate thing to do.

However, Zhen Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "I can't tell!! I don't feel anything..."

In the past, even if Zhen Xiaoyan couldn't see it, she would have had some sense because of Ye Lang's big hint. The feeling of something floating in the air was telling her that there were alchemical items nearby.

This time, she felt nothing at all, which could only mean two things: either there were top-tier alchemical items here that even she couldn't sense, or there was nothing here at all.

Soon, the answer came: there was indeed nothing here. However, the way the answer came about was even more unexpected than the presence of alchemical items.

At this moment, the Knights of Light behind him were also in a daze. They didn't understand what Ye Lang meant by coming here. It was a bit inexplicable. Had he relapsed into his old ways again?

Next, the Knights of Light saw a light appear in Ye Lang's hand. It was a light that everyone was familiar with—the light of the Alchemy Array.

Then, Ye Lang completed an Alchemy Array in an instant and threw it on the ground!

Unless someone has exceptional eyesight and strong abilities, they would never see that instantaneous movement. They would only perceive that Ye Lang casually flicked his hand and then effortlessly tossed a ball of light onto the ground.

The ball of light exploded on the ground, forming an Alchemy Array. Everyone found this Alchemy Array very familiar, but at this moment, everyone thought that all Alchemy Array were similar, which was why they felt so familiar.

Soon, they realized that the familiarity was real and not an illusion; they had seen the Alchemy Array more than ten times that day!

What made them realize this was none other than the power of the Alchemy Array. The Alchemy Array quickly made the floor disappear from their sight, leaving behind another circle...

"Purification Array?!"

I never imagined the Purification Array could be used like this—to make a hole in the floor. I just don't understand why Ye Lang would want to make a hole in it...

Wait, drilling a hole means we've broken through the floor, connecting this place to the fifth floor, right? Could it be...?

"Brother, you..." Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess had already understood this. At the same time, they also understood why Ye Lang had been so easy to talk to before, turning around and leaving without a word. It turned out he had this trick up his sleeve!

"I'll go down and take a look!!" Ye Lang jumped down through the hole in the floor and landed on the fifth floor. Xiao Rui followed suit.

Needless to say, Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess jumped down immediately. Although Zhen Xiaoyan didn't know any Battle Qi or magic, she had her own methods. She easily reached the ground floor of the fifth floor using alchemy.

It's just one floor, not a great distance, and it's not difficult for anyone.

"..." The Knights of Light were stunned. They understood what Ye Lang wanted to do, and in order to take their guesses seriously, they immediately surrounded him and looked at the room below.

Those beams of light and that dreamlike scene made them absolutely certain that the room below was the room where the Holy Maiden resided, the room that Ye Lang had wanted to enter but the others had prevented him from doing so.

Now they understood that Ye Lang's strange behavior just now was actually due to this trick!

To actually break through the floor from the sixth floor and directly reach the Holy Maiden's room—this was truly unexpected and impossible to guard against!

"Lord Fengxing, something terrible has happened! The Young Master has entered the Holy Maiden's room!!" Upon seeing this, the Knights of Light immediately notified Feng Xing.

"What? He went in? How did he get in?" Feng Xing was stunned for a moment after receiving the message, and then immediately asked.

Didn't he just leave? How come he's back in now? And what's wrong with the guards? How could they let him in? Weren't they keeping a tight watch before?

Feng Xing couldn't understand it; he never imagined that Ye Lang would go in from the sixth floor...

"Young Master, he came up to the Holy Maiden from the sixth floor, then broke through the sixth floor, which is the ceiling of the fifth floor, and that's how he got in!!"

"..." Feng Xing remained silent, stopped in his tracks, and after a moment's hesitation, turned around and rushed back to the Holy Maiden's room where Ye Lang was.
