"Yunhui, are you certain now that old bastard Jiang Hengdao is in there?" Yan Xi asked.
"Whether or not Jiang Hengdao went to the other formation sites first after coming to the Desolate Domain, so many days have passed that he should have reached here by now. But he hasn't appeared, which leaves only one explanation: he was already inside," Zhao Yunhui said.
"Couldn't Senior Xuanyuan and the others have stopped Jiang Hengdao?" You Lian'er asked. "I know the chances are slim, but we should still hold on to a thread of hope, shouldn't we?"
"Yes, you're right. Even though the transmission of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has stopped, we can't conclude that Senior Xuanyuan and the others failed to stop Jiang Hengdao. The chances are slim, but we never saw it with our own eyes. Anything is possible," Zhao Yunhui said with a nod.
"Ah..."
You Lian'er sighed and said nothing more.
In truth, she understood that the possibility was practically nonexistent. She simply still harbored that tiny shred of fantasy.
If Senior Xuanyuan and the others were safe, then Huang Xiao and his companions would surely be safe too.
Zhao Yunhui was really only saying this to comfort everyone.
"Is he simply ignoring us?"
"What can we do? We aren't strong enough."
Ao Zhen and the others smiled bitterly.
Since Jiang Hengdao was inside, there was no way he could be unaware that they were trying to tamper with the formation.
That he could tolerate them even so left Ao Zhen feeling nothing but despair.
Jiang Hengdao clearly thought nothing of them.
And the outcome bore that out. In the end, they still could not have much effect on the formation.
Without Jiang Hengdao even lifting a finger, they were already at their wits' end.
