Chapter 961: Entering the Formation

Ruan Shuangzhou's expression was very unpleasant. He nodded and said, "It seems that at the moment, I have no better choice."

With these words, the temporary alliance was established.

Han Tong said, "Two Divine Kings, shall we fight first, or shall we all enter Yellow Ridge Mountain and rely on our own fortunes?"

Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping's expressions were equally grim. They had just witnessed the power of the divine artifact—a single strike had cracked a top-grade super-grade holy artifact. There was simply no way to fight!

Yet letting them enter like this left both feeling unwilling.

For a moment, both remained silent, clearly unable to make a decision.

"What's there to fight about? It only harms goodwill. Since we've all come in, why not enter Yellow Ridge Mountain together? As for who gets the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, let everyone rely on their own abilities," Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.

At these words, everyone's gaze turned sharply toward Ye Yuan.

Was this kid too bold?

He dared to interrupt a conversation between Divine Kings.

Zhou Boping's face darkened. "Kid, who do you think you are? Do you know what the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye means to the Zhou and Yue families? Easy for you to say. If it falls into an outsider's hands, can you bear the responsibility?"

Zhou Yan sneered from the side. For Ye Yuan to stick his neck out at a time like this was just asking for trouble.

Not to mention Zhou Boping, even Yue Lingyu would likely not give him a good face.

Sure enough, he saw Yue Lingyu's expression turn cold as she spoke, "Zhou Boping, Ye Yuan is the son-in-law of my Yue family! Even if he needs reprimanding, it's not your place! He said what he said for a reason. Hear him out before you speak!"

Those waiting for a good show were nearly floored by this.

They never expected Yue Lingyu to clash with Zhou Boping over Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Han Tong has a divine artifact and is certainly no weaker than either of you. If you fight here, no one will gain anything. But don't forget, both sides have ulterior motives. This alliance was formed only under your pressure. On the contrary, if you let them in and they encounter the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, they'll likely start fighting among themselves. Then you can reap the benefits."

Ye Yuan spoke loudly, not bothering to hide his words from Han Tong and the others.

Yet even Han Tong and his group couldn't refute what he said.

Blocking is worse than channeling—that was the idea.

Yue Lingyu couldn't help but smile. "You're a clever one! Fine, I'll listen to you!"

Zhou Boping opened his mouth but said nothing more.

Given the current situation, a real fight would likely end in mutual destruction. So it was better to let them in.

"That kid has deep schemes! With one sentence, he's loosened our newly formed alliance," Han Tong said through gritted teeth.

Ruan Shuangzhou had been pressured into forming an alliance with him, and he could have made use of him.

But Ye Yuan had pointed it out so clearly that Ruan Shuangzhou's guard would be even higher. Some things would be harder to do now.

...

The crowd arrived before the light barrier, but no one dared to take a step forward.

Because this light barrier was a great formation of immense power!

None present were mediocre, so they could naturally see through its nature.

The reason they had been waiting outside the light barrier was for Han Tong's arrival!

With a divine artifact in hand, Han Tong had even broken through the secret realm's space; surely he could break this formation.

"Heh, the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation—a peak ninth-grade formation! Unless the Great Yan Divine King is here, who would dare to cross it easily?" Han Tong laughed.

Ruan Shuangzhou said, "Just state your conditions directly."

Han Tong smiled. "Dealing with a smart man is easy! Brother Ruan, since we've formed an alliance, we should advance and retreat together. Taking you in is only right. But I only want the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye. Even if you take ten thousand other things, it's none of my concern. If necessary, I'll even lend a hand. What do you think?"

Ruan Shuangzhou's face darkened. He snorted, "You've got it all figured out! Everyone here is after the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye. Otherwise, why would I risk offending the Zhou and Yue families to barge in here? Drop it. If not, we'll call it quits! I can just leave, and those two probably won't make things too hard for me. As for you, that's another matter!"

Ruan Shuangzhou was a rogue cultivator Divine King, free to come and go. If he didn't get the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, he'd lose nothing. But Han Tong had even brought out a divine artifact—he couldn't afford to lose!

How could Ruan Shuangzhou not see that? Trying to use the light barrier to control him? Impossible.

Han Tong chuckled. "Alright, it seems I have no choice but to take you in, Brother Ruan! Fine, we'll each rely on our own fortunes then."

Han Tong had originally had his own plans, but after Ye Yuan's speech, getting Ruan Shuangzhou to work hard was unlikely.

So he tried to use the light barrier to threaten Ruan Shuangzhou into submission. But Ruan Shuangzhou wasn't easy to manipulate and had turned the tables.

Han Tong approached the light barrier and said to those around him, "When I activate the Spirit-Shattering Mirror, stay close to me and be very careful!"

"Yes, my lord!" they replied.

"Ye Yuan, this Yin-Yang Reversal Formation is immensely powerful. You and Li'er must stay close!" Yue Lingyu instructed Ye Yuan at that moment.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Sister Lingyu, just take Yue Jianfeng through. Don't worry about Li'er and me."

Yue Lingyu was taken aback. "Even Dao Profound Realm experts dare not enter the formation easily. Are you sure?"

"Heh, rest assured, Sister Lingyu. It would be too taxing for you to take all four of us. That would put everyone in danger. Better to let us handle ourselves." Ye Yuan smiled.

"Boom!"

At that moment, Han Tong activated the divine artifact, forcibly opening a passage through the light barrier.

"Go!"

With Han Tong's command, he and Ruan Shuangzhou entered first, followed closely by the others.

Seeing this, the foreign martial artists rushed into the passage in a flash.

However, the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation had a strong self-repair ability, quickly sealing the passage.

"Ahh..."

In an instant, screams filled the air.

Those Dao Profound Realm experts couldn't last even a moment in the formation before being utterly annihilated.

The formation contained yin and yang forces that constantly reversed. Those who didn't understand formations would soon be torn apart by the狂暴的 yin-yang轮转之力.

"Let's go in too," Ye Yuan said calmly, taking Yue Mengli's hand and stepping forward.

At that spot, the formation didn't stir at all!

Seeing this, Yue Lingyu's expression changed. Even mid-stage Dao Profound Realm martial artists couldn't break through the formation, yet Ye Yuan had entered so effortlessly!
