Chapter 1816 1816: Just Putting on a Show?!
Su Chen chatted with the group for a while, and then realized they had also seen the recruitment information from various cities and, after some inquiries, learned about the ancestral land!
For the group, the purpose of entering was exploration, hoping to acquire some opportunities. Naturally, upon hearing such news, they wouldn't give it up, so they headed to the City Lord's Mansion of various cities!
They are all elite talents from various dynasties, naturally lacking no resources, so they have all produced many valuable items in hopes of joining the team's exploration of the ancestral land!
Although the outer areas of the ancestral land once had plenty of treasures, after years of exploration and consumption, there's little left, it's even barren!
This is a crucial reason for their eagerness to enter the inner layers of the ancestral land!
Seeing those treasures, they couldn't help but be tempted!
Moreover, gaining entry to the inner layers of the ancestral land is easier said than done; they have tried countless times, all to no avail!
Given the circumstances, why not take the available benefits?!
"Alright, everyone is here, let's start breaking the formation!"
After a while, Feng Bing addressed the group.
As the initiator of this exploration of the ancestral land, it's not abrupt for him to make this announcement.
"Alright, let's see the skills of the array masters!"
Another City Lord from Cangcheng also chuckled.
At this point, everyone stepped aside, leaving an open space in front of the Giant Stone Gate; on the ground, there were intricate and complex inscriptions, appearing extremely profound and obscure!
Most people don't understand the Path of Inscriptions, so they couldn't see any clues!
"I'll go first!"
At this moment, a confident array master walked out and approached the open space!
As for these inscriptions, these array masters had already traced them back and studied them for countless days and nights, yet each time several major cities came for exploration, it proved their studies were wrong!
Immediately, the array master extended a finger, True Yuan gathering on it, and began to inscribe upon it!
After a long while, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he had scribed several lines of inscription!
Unfortunately, after he withdrew his hand, there was no reaction from the inscriptions on the ground!
"Let me try!"
At this time, another array master laughed aloud upon seeing this scene.
"Alright, I want to see if you can succeed!"
The previous array master snorted coldly at the sarcastic words but retreated to the side!
The one who stepped out afterwards did not retaliate but instead erased the lines drawn by the former and began inscribing anew!
He was also extremely serious and focused at this moment; although he had mocked earlier, appearing confident, in truth, he had no assurance!
It's understandable, for no one had cracked this formation in all those years!
Time slowly passed, everyone maintained silence, dare not disturb!
Yet, as he inscribed several lines according to his research, there was no reaction at all!
Clearly, he also failed!
A sigh inevitably resonated!
He glanced again at the inscriptions, shook his head in disappointment, and walked back.
"I thought you might have had something unique!"
At this point, the array master mocked earlier also seized the chance for a rebuttal.
"Hmph, as if you cracked it!"
His mood was foul, he retorted unceremoniously.
"You..."
"Alright, alright, both of you are colleagues, why harm the harmony!"
At this moment, someone came forth to mediate.
Both of them snorted coldly and fell silent.
Afterwards, two others tried, unsurprisingly, they ended in failure!
"I'll come!"
Then a middle-aged man behind Feng Bing spoke; he was the array master Feng Bing brought this time!
Seeing this person step out, everyone's eyes immediately lit up, for the array master from Fengcheng and the other from Snow City are the ones most deeply knowledgeable in formations!
If anyone were most likely to crack this formation, it would have to be these two!
The mysterious person in the blood-red long robe combined forces with Feng Bing and commanded him to arrange the kidnap and control of Xue Yiyi for this crucial reason!
He valued the things in the inner layer of the ancestral land most, as for controlling Feng Bing and the few cities, it was merely convenient!
At this time, the array master brought by Feng Bing also had True Yuan gathering at his fingertips before beginning to inscribe!
Clearly, his inscriptions were far more complex than his predecessors, others watching seemed to find it quite arcane!
Other array masters, being pros, looked on and nodded with admiration because they couldn't inscribe such patterns!
Yet Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head; these inscriptions seemed complex, but crucially, for cracking this formation, they were entirely off the mark!
"Hmph, why'd you shake your head, acting like you understand inscriptions!"
Pan Xuan saw Su Chen's head shake and couldn't help but sneer.
"Whether I understand or not, none of your business!"
Su Chen, having no fondness for Pan Xuan, naturally wasn't polite!
"Don't mind him, as if he'd understand inscriptions, merely putting on a show!"
Zheng Hao, beside Pan Xuan, remarked disdainfully.
Hearing this, Pan Xuan silently agreed, contemplating finding a chance to teach this kid a lesson!
But he wasn't Su Chen's match; this matter would have to fall on Zheng Hao!
He believed Zheng Hao was more displeased with this kid, possibly more than himself!
Others were focused on that array master, ignoring the small quarrel among them!
After a long time, his clothes soaked with sweat, showing how exhausting the process was for his mind!
Regrettably, although it appeared complex, the result was no different from the other array masters, still without any reaction!
Thereupon, only the array master from Snow City remained; if he too failed, their attempt to explore the inner layer of the ancestral land would end in failure!
Though not unexpected, repeated failures inevitably led to a severe feeling of disappointment!
The array master from Snow City knowing the heavy burden he bore stepped out slowly!
Yet he didn't immediately begin but once more examined the inscriptions, seemingly pondering and hesitating over something!
Others naturally didn't know what this array master was thinking; of course, they wouldn't urge him either; they've waited many years already, what's the harm of waiting a moment more?!
If he indeed cracked this formation, they'd be willing to wait however long, not to mention this moment!
