Chapter 1237: The Trap

"Big brother, those stone men don't seem to be chasing us anymore. We're saved," Bai Guang said, still shaken.

However, Ye Yuan's expression was not good.

"I'm afraid we've just escaped the tiger's mouth only to fall into the wolf's den," Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.

Bai Guang was stunned, not understanding.

Wasn't this just a peach blossom forest?

Seeing his confusion, Ye Yuan said, "We have entered another space. This peach blossom forest is imbued with a formation, and it's extremely profound. Even I find it hard to crack!"

Bai Guang was greatly alarmed, and he began to carefully examine the peach blossom forest.

Unfortunately, he knew nothing about formations and could see nothing unusual.

"Big brother, don't scare me!" Bai Guang said helplessly.

Ye Yuan sighed, "Why would I scare you? Using peach trees as formation foundations to set up such a grand formation—the one who set it is truly remarkable! If I'm not mistaken, this formation was likely left by a Divine Dao expert!"

Bai Guang exclaimed in surprise, "No way? They're just ordinary peach trees. Whatever grand formation it is, can't we just burn them down?"

Ye Yuan shook his head, "They can't be burned! If we're not careful, we'll set ourselves on fire!"

Bai Guang's expression turned serious, and he finally realized the gravity of the situation.

He knew Ye Yuan wouldn't speak carelessly. If even Ye Yuan, with his formation mastery, couldn't crack this formation, it showed how terrifying it was.

"Big brother, what do we do now?"

"Let me first recover my strength," Ye Yuan said.

Two days later, after Ye Yuan's aftereffects had completely faded, he began to carefully study the peach blossom forest. The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

Before them, there were three paths to take.

Ye Yuan examined them for a long time but hesitated to move.

The peach blossom forest seemed peaceful, but Ye Yuan knew that one wrong step would bring thunderous killing intent.

Bai Guang watched nervously beside him, not daring to disturb him.

He noticed that fine beads of sweat had appeared on Ye Yuan's forehead.

Clearly, Ye Yuan's deduction was not going smoothly.

He stood there for twelve hours—an entire day!

If this were before, Bai Guang would never have believed that Ye Yuan would spend so much time just to take one step in a formation.

It seemed this formation was truly extraordinary.

"Huff..."

As Ye Yuan let out a long breath, Bai Guang also relaxed.

Li'er gently wiped the sweat from Ye Yuan's forehead, her eyes full of tenderness.

Earlier, while Ye Yuan was fully focused on comprehending the formation, she hadn't dared to disturb him.

"Big brother, how is it? Which path should we take?" Bai Guang asked.

Ye Yuan looked somewhat weary but forced himself to stay alert. "The right path should be safe."

Bai Guang didn't notice, but Li'er looked at Ye Yuan with slight surprise.

He had used the word "should" instead of a definite statement!

After a whole day of deduction, Ye Yuan could only give an ambiguous answer.

This formation was truly formidable!

"I'll go first!" Li'er said without hesitation.

With that, she stepped forward, intending to set foot on the right path.

Ye Yuan sighed, knowing that Li'er was perceptive and had seen through the flaw in his words. She was going to test the formation with her own body.

Just as Li'er was about to step onto the path, a flash of inspiration struck Ye Yuan's mind!

"Wait!" Ye Yuan shouted loudly.

Li'er's foot was already halfway out; once it landed, she would be fully on that path.

Hearing Ye Yuan's shout, she withdrew her foot.

"What's wrong, Yuan Ge?" Li'er asked in confusion.

In an instant, Ye Yuan was drenched in sweat. If that foot had landed, Li'er would have lost her life!

"Li'er, I'm sorry, I almost harmed you. That path is also a dead end! This formation is full of hidden dangers. Just now, a flash of insight came to me, and I realized that this path was deliberately left as a flaw by the formation!"

Ye Yuan looked shaken. The seemingly beautiful peach forest was actually fraught with danger.

One wrong step, and it would be death and destruction.

And just now, Ye Yuan discovered that the result of his entire day's deduction was actually a flaw deliberately set by the grand formation!

If Li'er had taken that step, they would have been separated forever!

But Li'er smiled nonchalantly and said, "Yuan Ge is dueling with a Divine Realm formation master. It's normal to be uncertain. Why apologize to me? Besides, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? At least in this first round, Yuan Ge has won!"

Ye Yuan sighed inwardly. Li'er was always so calm and magnanimous, willing to go through fire and water for him without batting an eye.

With a wife like this, what more could he ask for?

He had already made up his mind: if he could quell the demon calamity, he would definitely give Li'er a grand wedding!

Bai Guang also breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Big brother, if this path is wrong, which one should we take?"

"None of them are right!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.

Bai Guang and Li'er were both stunned, not understanding.

Ye Yuan pointed in a direction and said, "We go this way!"

The two were again stunned, because the direction Ye Yuan pointed had no path at all!

"Big brother, this..." Bai Guang said, utterly confused.

Ye Yuan didn't explain and simply stepped forward.

At that moment, something astonishing happened before Bai Guang and Li'er's eyes.

Ye Yuan's figure simply vanished before them!

The two exchanged a glance and followed Ye Yuan's footsteps in that direction.

They felt a blur before their eyes and indeed passed through a space.

But what surprised them was that the scene before them looked exactly the same as before.

This gave them the illusion that they had returned to the starting point!

"Yuan Ge, what's going on? Are all these peach blossoms illusions?" Li'er asked in amazement.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "When the false is taken as true, the false becomes true; when the true is taken as false, the true becomes false. These peach blossoms are real, but the formation master's skill is so high that he used the peach blossoms as a medium to split this space into countless fragments. What we need to do is find the only path of survival among these countless fragments. Hmm... it's like walking through a maze."

The two were shocked. Using ordinary peach blossoms to set up such an exquisite formation—the formation master's methods were truly unimaginable.

The means of a Divine Dao expert were beyond their comprehension.

Stimulated by Li'er's earlier action, Ye Yuan shed his previous dejection, and his strong confidence returned!

Ye Yuan could feel that the formation master was definitely an exceptional formation expert.

He had deduced step by step, yet still nearly fell into the trap set by that Divine Dao expert.

Facing this grand formation, he felt as if he were dueling with that formation god expert.

Spurred on by Li'er, Ye Yuan was now full of fighting spirit, determined to break this formation!

So what if it was a Divine Dao expert?

Today, I, Ye Yuan, will dampen the prestige of a Divine Dao expert!
