“Are you done yet? If so then hurry up, I don’t have time to waste here!” Luo Yuan urged impatiently.
If it wasn’t necessary to gather eight people to crack this Spirit Array, how could Luo Yuan have idled here for so long? Instead of waiting, he would have just started a fight and driven out as many others as possible.
Yang Kai glanced at him lightly but didn’t say anything, instead turning to Gong Wen Shan and saying, “Brother Gong, I understand the general situation. What should I do?”
Gong Wen Shan nodded and explained, “If that’s the case, then everyone just needs to follow my instructions and stand where I tell you to. Although this Eight Points Yuan Returning Array is simple to crack, if something goes wrong… heh…”
Although he didn’t finish what he said, everyone understood what he meant.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Brother Gong, please give us your advice. I don’t believe anyone here will be ignorant enough to ignore your instructions.”
As he spoke, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced over at Luo Yuan.
“Very good!” Gong Wen Shan heard this and smiled lightly before stretching out his hands and forming a seal.
Ripples of visible Source Qi were sent out from his figure and before Gong Wen Shan, a circular seal appeared on the floor.
Immediately, Gong Wen Shan pointed and instructed, “Friend, stand here!”
He was referring to Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan didn’t say a word and just stood in the spot that Gong Wen Shan pointed to.
“Madam, please stand there!” Next, he pointed to Bian Yu Qing.
“Calling me madam makes it seem like I’m old…” Bian Yu Qing pouted under her breath as she moved to her spot.
“You stand there!” Gong Wen Shan pointed to Yang Kai next.
Yang Kai nodded and flew over to Bian Yu Qing’s side.
Under Gong Wen Shan’s guidance, everyone stood in a different position.
While they were waiting, Bian Yu Qing turned to Yang Kai and smiled, “Smelly brat, I didn’t expect to see you here!”
“What’s wrong? Are you looking down on me?” Yang Kai raised his brow and coldly snorted, “This one’s power is beyond what Protector Bian can imagine.”
“Is that so…” Bian Yu Qing smiled with interest, “If that’s true, I’d like to take a closer look.”
“There’ll be a chance!” Yang Kai gave her a blank look before asking, “What about Senior Brother Kou? Isn’t he with you?”
Bian Yu Qing heard these words and her expression dimmed.
Yang Kai was surprised and asked, “He couldn’t have…”
Bian Yu Qing composed herself and shook her head, “It’s not what you think, Kou Wu knew his limits and stopped at the Flowing Time Steps!”
“Oh, that’s a pity.” Yang Kai sighed.
Although the Flowing Time Steps were extremely perilous, if one could surmount them, they would gain incredible benefits. Yang Kai’s strength had been greatly tempered even in that short time, and from the looks of it, the other seven people present clearly gained similar benefits from the Flowing Time Steps.
However, what Bian Yu Qing said confirmed Yang Kai’s previous guess that everyone’s chances had basically been the same, especially in the later stage. After passing the Flowing Time Steps, one simply needed to overcome the elimination battle before arriving here.
As the two talked, everyone was placed appropriately, with only Gong Wen Shan left.
Gong Wen Shan stood outside the runic circle and carefully checked to make sure everyone’s position was correct before he flew over to the last spot.
When he landed, he quickly shouted, “No one move, no matter what you sense, no matter how abnormal it might feel. Also, do not circulate your strength, otherwise, you will risk everyone’s life!”
Seeing how he spoke so solemnly, how could those gathered here not listen to his advice? One after another, they withdrew their strength and entered into a kind of meditative state.
Soon, a faint humming was heard.
The surrounding World Energy seemed to be swirling, causing a kind of chain reaction.
As the World Energy movement became more intense, the humming sound grew louder.
Soon, a strange sound, like something crumbling, reached everyone’s ears.
Only now did Gong Wen Shan, who had seemed quite anxious before, let out a sigh of relief. He knew that this Eight Points Yuan Returning Array was collapsing.
*Kacha…*
Along with this sound, a crack began to appear in the array ahead, releasing a bright light. As the crumbling sounds grew louder, the crack also slowly expanded.
Just as the crack became big enough for a single person to pass through, Gong Wen Shan shouted, “Don’t move yet!”
Everyone was taken by surprise by this shout and immediately halted their movements.
However, at that moment, Gong Wen Shan shot out towards the opening like an arrow from a string.
“Damn it, that bastard!” Kong Qi yelled angrily and hurried to catch up.
