Chapter 736: There is a Formation
Ling Dong Villa is an upscale residential area, with no high-rise buildings inside, all independent villas, the distance between each house exceeding a hundred meters.
The interior landscaping of the community is very good, full of flowers, plants, and trees, truly making one feel like taking a walk in the woods.
This also provided excellent protection for the privacy of the residents; no one could see each other’s homes.
After parking by the roadside, to lessen trouble, Ling Feng and Zhou Yi directly climbed over the wall to get in.
That three-meter-high wall, which could trap burglars, posed no hindrance to them.
Once inside, Ling Feng took Zhou Yi’s hand and immediately began the search!
Maybe it was luck, but upon seeing the first villa, they discovered its house number was forty-six!
Ling Feng was startled, then turned to look at Zhou Yi, "I’ll take the second floor, you take the first, let’s go in together!"
"Okay!"
Zhou Yi nodded, and then both figures flashed as they dashed over!
"Bang!"
"Crash!"
Zhou Yi kicked open the front door on the first floor, while Ling Feng passed through the second floor’s balcony doors, charging directly into the house.
The result was silence, no movement or people to be found!
The two met on the second floor, exchanging glances that sent a sinking feeling through their hearts.
Could Yang Ning have lied?
If so, all their plans had failed!
Ling Feng’s heart clenched, and his eyes began to redden!
Seeing this, Zhou Yi quickly comforted him, "Don’t panic, let’s search again, maybe there’s an underground room?"
"Downstairs!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately rushed to the first floor.
He was truly desperate, and without time to look for the entrance, he wielded the God Slayer Saber, stabbing wildly at the ground!
The floor, though covered with wooden floorboards, would not exceed ten centimeters in thickness, and his God Slayer Saber’s blade was over twenty centimeters long; if there was a space beneath, he might be able to penetrate through the floorboards and discover that place.
Zhou Yi watched him, frantic as if possessed, and sighed deeply in his heart as he also began to search carefully.
And wouldn’t you know it, just as Ling Feng entered a guest room on the first floor and stabbed down once, he discovered that underneath was distinctly different from the other areas!
The saber blade had penetrated something, the resistance gone entirely, indicating there was a void below!
"It’s here!"
Ling Feng shouted out, immediately dragging the God Slayer Saber to use it as a cutting tool, drawing a circle of one meter in diameter on the floor!
Before the circle could be completed, the cut section, unable to withstand gravity, fell with a thud, revealing a circular hole.
Ling Feng peered down and just so happened to see two people below, staring up at him in shock!
Mo Lan and Luo Qianyu!
Seeing the two of them, a huge weight in Ling Feng’s heart instantly dropped, and without another word, he jumped down!
At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Call Wang Laogen!"
Zhou Yi wanted to follow him down right away, but upon hearing that, he had to stop and take out his phone.
Ling Feng landed and looked at Mo Lan and Luo Qianyu. They appeared as usual, seemingly unharmed, just confined in this place.
This place was an empty underground room with nothing but this one room.
Seeing that only the two women were present, Ling Feng asked, "Where is He Wei?"
"He’s not here!" Mo Lan said.
"Hm?"
Ling Feng paused, then asked, "Then where is he?"
"I’m not sure, after we were locked up here, we haven’t seen any sign of him!" Mo Lan answered.
Ling Feng was speechless, and turned to look at Luo Qianyu, "Luo Qianyang isn’t here either?"
"He’s with He Wei, I have no idea where they are exactly," Luo Qianyu shook her head.
"What a cunning guy!"
Ling Feng cursed, stepped forward, and looked at the two of them, "Are you guys alright?"
"We’re fine, all good," Mo Lan said indifferently.
"That’s good, let’s go, follow me to the Nine Heavens, we’ll regroup there!"
Ling Feng said as he stepped forward, reaching out to lead the two away.
However, Mo Lan shook her head, "If I could teleport, I would have left a long time ago. I don’t know what has been set up in this place, but I’ve tried several times, nearly depleting all the energy in my Spirit Stones, yet I couldn’t teleport away!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback and turned to look around the room.
This basement was very simple, aside from a sofa, there was just a small coffee table, and some miscellaneous items, with nothing particularly special about it.
But as Ling Feng looked up at the ceiling, he discovered faint patterns in each of the four corners!
They were clearly man-made, and after Ling Feng took a good look, he was stunned!
He recognized those patterns because they were part of a formation called the Soul Devouring Formation, from The Compendium of Array Formations!
The reason he was shocked was that Ling Feng recognized it and had not expected someone here to be knowledgeable about it!
Noticing his stupor, Luo Qianyu asked, "Ling Feng, what’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing, just wait a moment for me!"
Ling Feng said, leaping up and directly destroying the patterns at the four corners of the walls.
Afterward, turning back, he saw Zhou Yi had also come down, and asked him, "Did you finish the call?"
"Yes, everyone is waiting at the Nine Heavens," Zhou Yi nodded.
"Great!"
Ling Feng, taking Mo Lan and Luo Qianyu and with a hint of apology, said, "I’m sorry you had to suffer!"
Mo Lan still wore an expression of indifference, "It’s okay, I knew you would come to rescue us!"
Even without showing emotion, her words revealed her feelings, proving that she had great trust in Ling Feng.
As for Luo Qianyu, she just pursed her lips, looking as if she had something to say but hesitated.
Ling Feng didn’t ask further, and led the two of them, along with Zhou Yi, back to the Nine Heavens.
As soon as they appeared, Wang Laogen and Zhang Lan, who couldn’t wait, immediately rushed over!
After a crisis had passed and reuniting with their loved ones, Ling Feng had nothing much to say, so he told everyone, "Everyone just stay here for now, I’ll go back to that villa to check around!"
"I’ll go with you!" Zhou Yi immediately said.
"No need, I can go by myself!"
Ling Feng shook his head, stopping her, and immediately teleported back to the basement of the villa.
The reason he didn’t take Zhou Yi with him wasn’t that she would be in the way, rather, he wanted to think alone in silence.
Things had suddenly become complicated. He didn’t believe that He Wei knew the Compendium of Array Formations, but since the formation from the book had appeared here, it indicated there were others beside him!
The only people Ling Feng could think of were Yang Da and Yang Er!
However, it was hard for him to believe there was a link between them, as they seemed to have nothing in common, let alone any likely contact.
Without understanding this issue, Ling Feng believed he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, so he had to find the answer!
Having returned to the basement, Ling Feng sat down, held his breath, and calmed his thoughts, concentrating on where the crux of the problem lay while patiently waiting.
He had a premonition that although He Wei was a sly character, there was a chance he would come back to check the situation, and that was what Ling Feng was waiting for!
