Chapter 2021: Chapter 2021: Not Allowed to Go Anywhere

“Alright.”

She nodded, then extended her palm, her fingers slightly spread towards the fissure.

It was impossible to open this array formation with external force alone; internal and external cooperation was necessary. While the Stone People exerted force from the outside, she also had to find a way.

So, she aimed her efforts at this fissure, which was the only way out.

But after all, this was the God-Trapping Array, meant to trap people inside completely, even if Evil Spirit Qiankun had overreached and failed to perfect the array.

There was great elasticity at the fissure. The more An Jiuyue pressed upward, the more a demonic energy seemed to want to repel her hand.

With a ‘ping’ sound,

A wave of demonic energy burst out from the fissure, directly attacking An Jiuyue.

“Be careful.”

Qian Jiyun swiftly moved in, embraced her, and pulled her away from the fissure, successfully avoiding the onslaught.

“The force is quite strong, isn’t it?”

An Jiuyue struggled out of his embrace, chuckling as she looked at the fissure.

It seemed that this fissure wasn’t unintentionally left by Evil Spirit Qiankun, but was deliberately left to lure them in, perhaps hoping they would falter at this very spot.

“I’ll do it.”

Qian Jiyun’s eyes narrowed slightly as he reached out towards the fissure.

He had also thought of this, and of course, he didn’t mind. Since Evil Spirit Qiankun wanted them to falter here, they would escape from this place.

The God-Trapping Array was created by Evil Spirit Qiankun and probably had a connection with him.

He intended to let Evil Spirit Qiankun know that they had escaped from here, even if they couldn’t confront him now, they could at least infuriate him.

“We’ll do it together.”

An Jiuyue didn’t let him confront the task alone and also contributed her effort.

“We will concentrate our powers together and tear open an opening here,” she said.

Qian Jiyun glanced at her, nodded, then the two continued to apply demonic energy on the fissure, visibly expanding it at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.

…

“Ugh!”

Because the interior and exterior were both pressing simultaneously, Leng Yikun’s body could hardly bear it.

His condition was already critical, having nearly lost his life earlier; now, he could sustain himself only because of the medicinal pills An Jiuyue had given him earlier.

“Yikun!”

Sect Master Leng, seeing his son in trouble, wanted to move forward but was stopped by Yuu Rong.

“You stay here, don’t go anywhere.”

Are you joking? Who could just interfere with breaking the array formation? What if Sect Master Leng caused a disturbance, not only failing to save his son but also endangering his elder brother and sister-in-law?

There was no way he could let him go and disrupt, so he kept an eye on Sect Master Leng.

“Young Master Yuu, Yikun he…”

Sect Master Leng looked at Yuu Rong with difficulty, even Leng Nicen, who was initially indifferent, couldn’t help but look over.

He was worried about Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, who were trapped, as well as his half-brother.

“With my elder brother and sister-in-law there, he won’t be in danger.”

Yuu Rong wasn’t sure of the outcome, but at least, as long as the Stone People were there, Leng Yikun wouldn’t die, right?

“If you go now, and something happens, whose fault would it be?” he asked Sect Master Leng.

“This…”

Sect Master Leng hesitated, not knowing what to say.

“But, Yikun he…”
