My gorgeous wife

Chapter 1894 - 1863: Sky-Deceiving Ocean-Covering Grand Array

Upon hearing Lan Liuyue’s words from behind, Li Chen instinctively gathered a large hand of Yuan Force.

With just one strike, Lan Liuyue, who offered no resistance, would perish under Li Chen’s palm.

However, the large hand Li Chen had gathered hovered in mid-air and did not fall.

"Come on! Do it, kill me quickly, or it will be too late!" Lan Liuyue said anxiously, his eyes filled with urgency.

Meanwhile, in another place, several figures were observing this scene.

"Can’t do it, huh? Being too merciful on the battlefield invites an easy death."

"But if they’re too ruthless or cunning, would you still take them in?"

"Ruthless people aren’t likable, but they tend to live the longest. Even if I don’t like them, I would absolutely take them! I wish for my men to live well, even if humbly and with difficulty, they should live. If they die, no matter how gloriously, dead is dead." An elder said solemnly.

The group fell silent.

Indeed, no matter how glorious, dead is dead, utterly meaningless.

At this moment, Li Chen was still confronting Lan Liuyue.

"What’s wrong? Kill me, kill me! Didn’t we agree just now?!" Lan Liuyue’s expression became increasingly twisted: "Did you deceive me?!"

"You deceived me!!"

"Deceive me, then just die!"

Roaring in anger, Lan Liuyue prepared to strike.

However, before he could act, he discovered that his body was somehow already imprisoned.

"What is this? How can an Immortal King like you imprison me? This..." Lan Liuyue looked frenzied, his eyes blood-red.

"Hmm?"

On the other side, those observing this sudden turn of events cast strange looks toward Li Chen’s direction.

Imprisoned?

An Immortal King has imprisoned an Immortal Venerable, how is that possible?

"Wrong, it’s a formation!" The elder who earlier expressed willingness to take in ruthless and cunning people said solemnly: "Amazing, we didn’t even notice him quietly setting up a formation capable of temporarily imprisoning a Venerable level strong."

"Now, this is interesting."

...

Li Chen looked calmly at the roaring Yi Jiang Lan Liuyue: "I’m not deceiving you, I want to help you."

Slowly approaching Lan Liuyue, Li Chen softly spoke: "You’ve been here... for many years, haven’t you? Are you tired and weary?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lan Liuyue’s expression stiffened, most of the madness in his eyes swiftly receded, and he asked hesitantly: "Did you... see through me?"

Li Chen chuckled: "For a while now."

"So you were pretending?" At this moment, Bai Tianyi behind Li Chen said somewhat displeased: "You were deceiving people, you’re a big baddie! Hmph!"

"A baddie it is then." Lan Liuyue smiled bitterly, then paused and asked Li Chen: "What did you mean just now?"

"I can take you away." Li Chen said without hesitation.

"Leave?" Hearing this, Lan Liuyue nodded without hesitation: "No, you can’t do it."

Li Chen smiled mysteriously: "Since I know you are the formation spirit of this Ninth Grade Illusionary Formation, I have a way to take you away."

"So you did know." Lan Liuyue smiled wryly: "Can you tell me how you saw through it? My disguise should be seamless."

"Because, coincidentally, I am also an Eighth Grade Formation Path Grandmaster!"

"Eighth Grade Formation Path Grandmaster?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lan Liuyue couldn’t help but be shocked.

Yang Xin, hearing Li Chen’s words, was also somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but transmit sound to Li Chen: "He... isn’t real, but a formation spirit?"

Bai Tianyi, however, didn’t react, evidently, she had also discerned it.

Though she didn’t have Li Chen’s Eye of the Dao, with her sheer level of existence, not to mention the formation spirit of a Ninth Level Illusionary Formation, even a Ninety Level one wouldn’t escape her detection.

In the Formation Path, those who can arrange formations above the Fourth Grade are referred to as Matrix Masters, and those above the Seventh Level are referred to as Grandmasters.

Compared to his personal cultivation, Li Chen’s Dao of Alchemy and Formation Path Cultivation advanced even faster; long before his divine soul stepped into the Soul Realm, he had already entered this realm.

Perhaps all of this is thanks to the powerful inheritance of the Seven Realms Tome.

Currently, Li Chen may still be unable to refine Eighth Grade Pills, but with the assistance of the Bagua Array Diagram, he can barely lay out an Eighth Grade Grand Formation.

This kind of powerful Formation Path Grandmaster is highly sought after anywhere he goes.

After all, those powerful figures who establish sects need a strong Formation Guard to protect their sect.

However, a strong cultivation doesn’t necessarily mean strong in the Formation Path and Alchemy Dao.

"Looking at you, you don’t seem very old, how..." Lan Liuyue was genuinely shocked by Li Chen.

As a powerful formation spirit, he could indeed see that Li Chen wasn’t very old, and from his judgment, he shouldn’t exceed two hundred years.

Yet such a young ’Immortal’, not only has a cultivation level at the Immortal King Realm, but is also an Eighth Level Formation Path Grandmaster, just how high is this person’s talent?

"These are not the point now," Li Chen shook his head and smiled: "The point now is, do you... want to leave?"

Lan Liuyue fell silent.

"To tell the truth, being a formation spirit, guarding this place and testing every Immortal heading to the Starry Sky Immortal City is my duty."

"However, over countless years, testing numerous cultivators who have set foot on the battlefield from here, the constant probing and deceit has long left me weary."

Lan Liuyue looked at Li Chen: "If you really have a way to help me leave here, then... please help me!"

"From the Eighth Order to the Ninth Order, neither the Formation Path nor the Alchemy Dao can be accomplished by mere accumulation alone. Often, a bit of sudden enlightenment can be far more useful than centuries of contemplation." Lan Liuyue said solemnly: "In return, I can pass on all my experiences in setting up Ninth-Level Grand Formations to you from my memory."

"Deal?"

Li Chen thought for a moment, then nodded: "Deal."

"What’s going on? What are they saying, why did they suddenly start using sound transmission?"

"I don’t know, but this Immortal seems somehow different from the others I’ve seen before..."

"Do you think he might have figured it out?"

"I think it’s unlikely, the Sky-Deceiving Ocean-Covering Grand Array is the top illusion array, how could he, with his mere Immortal King cultivation, see through the flaws of such a Ninth-Level Grand Formation?"

But in the next moment, everyone realized that the scene they saw... went black!

Damn it!

What’s happening here?

"What’s happened? Why is the screen gone?"

The next moment, in a corner of the Starry Sky Immortal City, the activation sound of the Teleportation Array echoed, signaling the arrival of newcomers!

With a dark face, a senior Immortal responsible for controlling the Sky-Deceiving Ocean-Covering Grand Array rushed toward the direction of the teleportation disturbance.

Because he realized a truly incredible thing.

The formation spirit of the Sky-Deceiving Ocean-Covering Grand Array... was gone!!
