Yang Jiyong said, "The main reason I had you all come is for confidentiality. Regardless of whether or not the Large Formation is completed, whether we can kill Feng Xi or not, do not let the news leak out..."
Yang Rong felt it would be difficult, "But with such a large-scale formation being built, it’ll be hard to keep it secret..."
"I’m not asking you to keep the construction of the Large Formation a secret," Yang Jiyong said. "I’m asking you to keep the one who’s constructing it a secret."
Only then did Yang Rong feel puzzled and asked, "Who constructed the Large Formation?"
Upon their arrival at Tongxian City, they had been stationed near the big demon to prevent any unforeseen events, and did not interact much with the cultivators of Tongxian City.
They were not involved in the construction of the Large Formation.
As for Drawing Formation, they were even less informed.
He only remembered seeing a group of Formation Masters, the most prominent of whom was an impressive-looking elder. But as for who was responsible for building the Large Formation, he had no idea.
Yang Jiyong was about to speak but then shook his head, "It’s better if you don’t know."
Yang Rong was taken aback and did not wish to ask further, but a sudden intense curiosity clawed at him.
If Yang Jiyong was taking this so seriously, it must be far from ordinary.
"Big brother Yang, if you tell me, I’ll know what to keep confidential. If you don’t, I won’t even know what’s confidential, and I might accidentally let something slip," he argued.
Yang Jiyong was taken aback, "Since when have you become so clever?"
Yang Rong chuckled.
After some thought, Yang Jiyong decided to tell him, "Have you seen a young cultivator these few days?"
"A young cultivator?" Yang Rong was slightly startled.
"A cultivator with picturesque features, fair-skinned, handsome, who at first glance seems clever and adorable, but upon closer look, completely enigmatic..."
Yang Rong furrowed his brow in thought, then suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!" He had remembered.
"It’s that young cultivator following behind a group of old Formation Masters."
"You’ve got it backwards."
"Backwards?"
Yang Jiyong stated indifferently, "It’s not that he was following behind the old Formation Masters, it’s a group of old Formation Masters following behind him..."
Yang Rong’s mouth fell open in shock, "No way..."
Then he recalled what Yang Jiyong had mentioned about "the person who built the Large Formation," and for a moment he was befuddled before repeating, "No way..."
Yang Jiyong stopped there, not saying more, and only reminded him,
"Got it now?"
Yang Rong was stunned for a long while before he figured it out, and shaking his head, he muttered, "That’s terrifying..."
In this day and age, could such a young kid really build a Large Formation?
Yang Rong then leaned closer to Yang Jiyong and said quietly, "Big brother, this matter, we mustn’t let the Li Family and Chang Family know."
Otherwise, they would certainly resort to any means to win him over.
"That’s why I used the Yang Family’s connections to get you guys over here."
"But what if we can’t keep it a secret?" Yang Rong was somewhat worried.
"No matter," Yang Jiyong said calmly, "as long as they don’t see it with their own eyes, they won’t believe it."
Yang Rong nodded.
Actually, he had seen it with his own eyes but still found it hard to believe...
But since his big brother had said so, he would just follow suit.
"There’s one more thing that’s most important..."
Yang Jiyong looked at Yang Rong and further instructed:
"In this operation to subdue Feng Xi, success is uncertain, if we fail, by all means think of a way to ensure Mo Hua’s safety."
"Mo Hua..."
Yang Rong remembered the name and nodded, saying, "Alright!"
After he spoke, he looked toward the distant Feng Xi and couldn’t help but exclaim,
"Such a huge Evil Monster, I get palpitations just looking at it, can we really kill it?"
Yang Jiyong spoke with a grave tone, "No matter what, we’ve got to try."
He then sighed inwardly,
He hoped that this time, not too many would die...
The Taoist Soldiers who came this time were all trusted members of the Yang Family, and most were brothers who had shared life and death on the battlefield with him; he didn’t want too many casualties.
But what they were facing this time was a terrifying Big Demon.
Within the state boundary, the Big Demon was invincible.
Even with the Large Formation in place, contending with the Big Demon was certainly no easy task.
