Once he had calmed down, Ancestor Yanshi quickly concluded that the Azure Flame Sect was probably not behind it!
The reasoning was the same as before: if the Azure Flame Sect knew, it would not have stopped at setting up a formation. It would have arrested him outright.
Sabotaging the Azure Flame Grand Tournament was a grave crime!
That made the time formation enveloping the Myriad Phenomena Hall and Tianshui City easy to explain.
"A powerful expert Qin Hao invited must have helped him."
"But what kind of expert would help Qin Hao?"
Ancestor Yanshi considered it. Qin Hao probably did not know any Creation Great Experts. If he did, Ancestor Yanshi would not still be sitting here.
More likely, Elder Shuixian had invited the expert to help.
But that help had gone no further than setting up the formation.
The expert might not be willing to do anything else. In fact, the expert was probably quite wary of Ancestor Yanshi; otherwise, why stop at a formation?
It was because he had considered all this that Ancestor Yanshi had not immediately fled without a trace. Instead, he remained in the Shi Family Hall, watching the competition.
Yet watching the competition only made him angrier.
Shi Youbing's performance was terrible!
"What use are you to me, you worthless thing?" A thick Malevolent Aura flashed through Ancestor Yanshi's eyes. He had invested so much in Shi Youbing because he hoped that, after joining the Azure Flame Sect, Shi Youbing would help him break through to the Creation Realm.
Instead, Shi Youbing was mud that could not be plastered onto a wall. Ancestor Yanshi was furious.
Even so, he had no better option. All he could do was keep watching the competition in silence.
Meanwhile...
In the valley.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
