Chapter 59: Breaking the Formation

  Within two years, all three of them grew into quite handsome young men. Yang Yu Xi remained sunny and carefree, Nan Gong Zang Jie was still expressionless and cold, while Luo Xuan became even more arrogant.

  As the strength of the three people rose, the tasks they could take on also increased. Within two years, the strength of the two people had steadily risen, each advancing by two levels on their original foundation, reaching the realm of Microcosmic Three Stars.

  At the age of twelve, he has already reached this level, his natural talent can be said to be extremely rare.

  That day, the three of them received a mission to escort a merchant caravan to Luoyang. Luoyang was still some distance away from their current location, and at their full speed, it would take about a day to get there. However, escorting a merchant caravan would require much more time, and Nan Gong Zuan estimated that it would take at least a week.

  "It's Luoyang again..." Yang Yu Xi muttered to herself, calculating that the day she and Qin Tian Cheng and Xia Jing Qing had agreed on was almost here, so why not take this opportunity to meet up with them.

  But will those two go? Haven't they already been taken away by that strange egg?

  "Alas..." Yang Yu Xi shook his head and sighed, these problems were impossible to figure out no matter how hard he thought.

  "What's with the sigh? Have you gathered your things?" asked Luo Xuan, who was tidying up his hair beside him.

  Yang Yu Xi nodded and replied in a bad mood: "I don't have to bring so many useless things like you, how can I still not be okay?"

  "What useless thing did you say I brought?" Luo Xuan's face was unpleasant.

  "Ah, it's those things like combs and mirrors and aloe vera juice, I really don't understand you, a grown man spending all day on these things, what's the point?"

  Luo Xuan was speechless for a long time before responding to Yang Yuxi with one sentence: "You little brat don't understand."

  "Alright, no more nonsense, we should get going." Nan Gong Zang Jie interrupted coldly.

  "Alright, let's go." Luo Xuan grabbed his large travel bag and followed Nan Gong Zangjue out.

  Yang Yu Xi was slightly stunned for a moment, then thought about Qin Tian Cheng and Xia Jing Qing again before grabbing a small package and chasing after him.

  "Hey, it's already autumn, why is it still so hot?" Luo Xuan complained while walking, listlessly fiddling with the plants by the side of the road.

  Yang Yu Xi leaned over and teased: "Who let you be a fake product, can't see the light?"

  "Hey!" Luo Xuan was about to blow up, but found that Yang Yu Xi had already run away without a trace, leaving behind only his wild laughter in the air.

  "Haha......"

  Beside them, a merchant caravan was slowly advancing, the horses pulling goods lightly panting.

  A scorching sun in the sky is baking the earth, which indeed makes people feel a bit strange.

  Nangong Zang walked at the end of the team, raised his head and squinted to look at the sun for a few moments, feeling a bit uneasy in his heart.

  "What's with this sun, why does it look so weird?" Luo Xuan's discontented muttering entered Nan Gong Cang Jie's ears.

  Wait, what's going on?!

  Nangong Zang suddenly realized something and raised his head to gaze at the sun. The sun was dim, but it felt unusually hot.

  Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, hot waves rolled in, and sand from who-knows-where swirled up into everyone's glasses.

  Nangong Zangjiao narrowed his eyes, his heart sank, and he immediately shouted: "Lan Qi, Bai Chi, it's an enemy raid! Protect the merchant caravan!!"

  In an instant when the hot wind blew, Yang Yuxi and Luo Xuan both reacted. Luo Xuan transformed into a huge water curtain that enveloped the entire merchant team inside.

  Yang Yu Xi let out a cold snort, and in an instant, he was standing in mid-air, his Supreme Domain unfolded, enveloping the entire merchant caravan. Within the domain, anything that wasn't from their own household was expelled, not even wind could enter, let alone sand.

  Nangong Zangjiao also hid in Yang Yuxi's domain at the first time, in this domain Yang Yuxi can know his position, and the cooperation between the two will reach an unprecedented height.

  "Who's there?! Come out!!" Yang Yu Xi's eyes turned cold, and a loud shout mixed with true energy spread in all directions, instantly making the merchant group feel much more at ease.

  Everything is normal within the supreme domain, but outside it's a world of flying sand and walking rocks, dark to the extreme, and there are some inexplicable roars coming from inside.

  No one answered Yang Yu Xi, but everyone saw that the range of the Supreme Domain suddenly shrank a bit, and Yang Yu Xi's face changed instantly.

  "Idiot, what now? How long can you hold on?" Luo Xuan's somewhat anxious voice came from the water curtain below.

  "I don't know either." Yang Yu Xi spoke with difficulty, one word at a time, the pressure from outside the domain forcing him to fight back with all his might, sweat streaming down his face.

  Suddenly, Yang Yuxi's eyelid twitched and he felt that Nangong Cangjie, who was hiding in the domain, had moved. Nangong Cangjie rushed into the dangerous sandstorm outside the domain!

  "Despicable!!"

  Nangong Zangjia entered the sandstorm, his eyebrows furrowed as he sensed attacks coming from all directions. Each attack was like a sharp sword flashing with cold light!

  That is to say, there are countless swords in the sandstorm!

  Nangong Zangjiao flipped his hand to grab the Azure Water Knife, and his body spun like a top. The knife's edge, like ripples on water, expanded outward from him, growing larger and larger.

  The swords in the sandstorm sensed hostility and flew towards Nan Gong Zuo Jue, the whistling sword intent filling the sky made Yang Yu Xi and Luo Xuan feel a chill run down their spines.

  "Idiot, can Lan Ran hold on?" Blue Qiao's voice was very anxious.

  "I don't know either, after he withstood it my pressure would be much smaller, but looking at his appearance he can't hold on for much longer." Yang Yu Xi's whole body felt much lighter, but his expression didn't relax in the slightest. He saw Nan Gong Zang Jie's trembling figure in the sandstorm and knew he couldn't last for much longer.

  "Lan Qi, how long can you hold on?" Yang Yu Xi asked urgently.

  "What do you want to do?"

  "Alas, I'm going to help him!" Yang Yu Xi's expression was anxious.

  Luo Xuan said: "What can you do now? If it can't be solved quickly, I definitely won't hold on, so we should solve it from the root!"

  "What you said is easy to say, but how can it be solved fundamentally!"

  "Idiot, don't you think this looks like an array?" Luo Xuan's transformed water curtain fluttered and swayed, with misty vapors rising.

  "Huh?" Yang Yu Xi was startled, and the more Luo Xuan said it, the more he looked like it. He finally slapped his forehead, "Ah, how could I have forgotten the formation!! But..."

  "But what?"

  Yang Yu Xi felt a bit down: "But you know how to break the formation method?!"

  "Hmm..." Luo Xuan was stumped, then he said, "I remember Shui She saying that every formation has a formation eye, the formation eye controls the power within the formation and is the source of all power. We just need to destroy the formation eye!"

  "Where is the Array Eye...?" Yang Yu Xi felt that after talking for half a day, it was still useless.

  "Boom!"

  Suddenly, the sandstorm's Nan Gong Cang Jie caught the attention of both people. He pointed with his right hand and a huge finger glowing with colorful light appeared out of thin air, fiercely pointing at one spot in the sandstorm.

  "Huh? What's the use of using the Wave Point at this time?" Luo Xuan was puzzled.

  Yang Yu Xi also furrowed his brow. Such a large-scale attack, using the "Wave Point" which concentrated on one point, was absolutely not a wise choice of martial arts.

  This point is clear to myself, Luo Xuan is clear, and Nan Gong Cang Jie must also be clear, so why still use it?

  Is Nan Gong Zang's calamity imminent?!

  Wait, focus on one point...

  Yang Yu Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked in the direction of the fluctuating finger, at first glance there was nothing, but after a closer look, he felt that the sandstorm there seemed to be denser than elsewhere!

  "Is that... a Mirage!?" Yang Yu Xi's heart skipped a beat, and an overwhelming sense of excitement surged up.

  It must be a doppelganger; otherwise, Nangong Cangjue would never use the "Wave Shift Finger".

  Yang Yu Xi believes it because it's their tacit understanding!

  Yang Yu Xi's mouth corners rose with a smile.

  "What's so funny, idiot?" Luo Xuan didn't understand.

  "Lan Qi, I know where the Array Eye is!"

  "What? Really?! Luo Xuan was also overjoyed."

  "Blue Qian, you hold on first, watch me Yang Da Xia break this broken array! Haha...…", Yang Yu Xi's domain is fully open, and he rushes directly to the location of the array eye.

  "What Yang Daxia, obviously it's Bai Daxia..." Luo Xuan muttered, but he was also very happy.

  Yang Yu Xi charged forward with his Supreme Domain, directly towards the Array Eye. All sandstorms outside of the domain were blocked out, unable to enter by even a single hair.

  The array was right in front of him, but suddenly the pressure from outside grew stronger. Yang Yu Xi let out a cold laugh, it seemed that the controller of this large array had sensed the danger and mobilized the entire array's power to counterattack against him.

  "Hmph, dare to challenge my Supreme Domain? I'll let you die without even knowing how!" Yang Yu Xi's heart was filled with strong confidence.

  "Boom!"

  The Supreme Domain burst open with a loud noise, blocking all the sandstorms that were pressing in from all sides in an instant. Moreover, the range of the domain was still expanding continuously.

  Just then, not far from where everyone was trapped.

  "Hmmph..."

  A young girl's hand shook as she held a Buddhist mudra, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  "Sister, what's wrong?" A young man immediately came over to support the girl, his words full of concern.

  "Oh dear oh dear......" Next to the two of them, a very small and adorable four-legged wild beast was snoring loudly, occasionally letting out one or two comfortable sounds.

  "No, it's nothing, but the formation is about to be broken." The girl covered her chest, her face deathly pale.

  "What? 'Zi Wu Kuang Sha Zhen' is a high-level formation, how can it be broken so easily?" The young man's face was shocked.

  "It seems my manipulation skills are still insufficient, and I was found out by an opponent with a strong sensory type." The girl wasn't panting as much now.

  "Boom"

  At this time, the formation was broken, and the sand fell like raindrops from the sky, drifting far away in the cool autumn breeze.

  The young man saw a team of people coming out of the sandstorm. The first three were almost as big as himself, but they all wore masks and couldn't see their true faces.

  "Mercenary..." The young man knew that only such people would cover their faces when doing tasks.

  They apparently discovered themselves in the first time, the boy's body stiffened, gritted his teeth and supported the girl to stand up, come what may!

  But just as the two of them stood up, the boy saw that one of the three people walking towards them suddenly stopped, and his body was slightly trembling.

  "What's wrong with you, idiot?" Luo Xuan and Nangong Cangjie stopped and asked.

  "This, this...... how can it be......" Yang Yu Xi's face under the mask was filled with shock, as if he had just seen a rooster lay an egg.
