Chapter 1266: Mole

But just as Li Yuan Yi was preparing to walk back to the place he had just rested, his gaze suddenly stopped on one of the people.

He saw that the person had a sneaky demeanor and his gaze was constantly on Li Yuan Yi, occasionally glancing around, seemingly worried someone might notice him.

Li Yuan Yi instantly understood, looking at the man in front of him; it was clear that he was already prepared to ally with him!

Li Yuan Yi felt joy in his heart but didn’t make it known, instead signaling to the man in front of him and heading to the left.

Because there weren’t many people on the left, and since the people around them had already gradually dispersed, once they reached that deserted area on the left, they could have a good conversation.

The man in front must be thinking the same as him, surely trying every way to help him in order to get the technique from his mouth!

In a flash, the two of them had already reached the blank area on the left one after the other.

Since there were many trees around, no one noticed their existence.

After the man’s eyes shifted a bit, he then looked eagerly at Li Yuan Yi and quickly said: “What you just said, is it true? If I can help you break through this formation, will you teach me your technique?”

Li Yuan Yi’s skill is even stronger than most experts, although he doesn’t know what technique Li Yuan Yi is referring to. But whatever could enhance Li Yuan Yi’s strength this much is enough to prove the dreadfulness of that technique.

Li Yuan Yi hurriedly nodded, as if he had seen hope.

Even though his skill is evident here, he wouldn’t stay here too long because Wang Zhan and others had already consumed the miracle fruit, and among them is a soul-calming beast, which is the most troublesome existence.

The miracle fruit might produce many variabilities, and if the soul-calming beast’s strength steadily climbs, given a bit more time to recuperate, fully absorbing all the fruit’s power, then the beast naturally has enough strength to contend with him, and the final result is obvious…

Not to mention being unable to get revenge on Wang Zhan and others; with their collaboration with the soul-calming beast, he might even have to flee in panic.

He doesn’t want to see that kind of situation arise.

Thus, he must break through the level barrier in front in a short time; only then can he swiftly enter the Sky Pavilion, and before Wang Zhan and others completely absorb the miracle fruit’s power, he can instantly obliterate them!

“Tell me, what’s your plan?”

Li Yuan Yi stared at the man for a while, already growing impatient.

Because the man’s strength was simply too feeble, not even providing any help, but he still needed to hear his opinion.

“My plan is simple, shake the foundation here, then you cooperate from outside. If we work together, we can definitely completely destroy the formation in front, and then you can enter the Sky Pavilion.”

“But how can I believe you?”

“After all, if you enter the Sky Pavilion, and you don’t hand over the technique, or fulfill your promise, my situation will become extremely difficult…”

The man warily looked at Li Yuan Yi, expressing his thoughts.

He really wasn’t joking; once he cooperated with Li Yuan Yi, he became a traitor inside the Tian Ge Zhi, and if Li Yuan Yi disregards him, when Wang Zhan and others attack, he wouldn’t even have the slightest ability to counter, with a predictable ending…

Li Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised his hand, speaking word by word: “I pledge with my Divine Rank, in this upcoming period, I will absolutely stand by you unconditionally, no matter the final outcome, I won’t make it difficult for you, nor let you waste your life!”

“Moreover, if you can let me enter the Sky Pavilion, I will do whatever it takes to teach you my mastery of the technique, enhancing your overall strength, ensuring you have infinite glory on the Star War Battlefield!”

The man immediately nodded after hearing Li Yuan Yi’s words, naturally less worried.

He knows well, with Li Yuan Yi at that level of strength, he wouldn’t make empty promises, risking trouble for himself.

Seeing the man waver, Li Yuan Yi said again: “So, how’s your consideration coming along?”

“I…”

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

With absolute strength, one can roam freely on the Star War Battlefield. Otherwise, they’ll only be a pawn on the battlefield.

Although he can stay in the Tian Ge Zhi now and always receive Wang Zhan’s protection, this is not enough; he can’t live under someone else’s wing forever.

What if the situation repeats?

Once Wang Zhan encounters a formidable foe and can even open the barrier in the Sky Pavilion, how will his situation be?

Hence, he must consider his own future.

“Since you’ve already thought it through, discuss your plan with me now.”

“I see your strength is average; I suppose you don’t have any means to shake the foundation of the barrier before us, do you?”

Li Yuan Yi stared at the man before him for quite a while before speaking in confusion.

Strength isn’t the most important aspect, but to shake the foundation, you need to meet two requirements. First, quickly find the breakthrough of the formation, and second, manipulate the breakthrough. As long as the formation shows the slightest sign of shaking, he will have absolute determination to break through directly!

“I know where the Eye of the Formation is!”

The man gritted his teeth and spoke word by word. Although it was just a few short words, it took him several minutes, evidently having undergone significant mental struggle…

But once the path is chosen, he wouldn’t make things difficult for Li Yuan Yi at this moment.

He surely needed to reveal everything he knew to the Hexagonal Golden Snake.

“What’s going on?”

“How could you know where the Eye of the Formation is?”

“Could it be you have some connection with Wang Zhan?”

Li Yuan Yi suddenly saw hope and quickly asked two questions.

The man nodded but soon shook his head, leaving Li Yuan Yi a bit puzzled.

However, the man soon spoke again: “I once heard Wang Zhan and others mention everything about the formation. Only then did I gain a simple understanding, but wanting to break the formation isn’t easy. Yet I have an absolute means to destroy the Eye of the Formation. That way, the foundation will be unstable, and you’ll have a chance to break through directly!”

Li Yuan Yi clenched his fist and hurriedly nodded along.

This is precisely what he needed. As long as the Eye of the Formation can be determined and the foundation shaken, he could handle the rest himself.

“Then it’s decided.”

“I’ll go search for the Eye of the Formation now and help you break through as quickly as possible!”

“But don’t forget your promise and definitely don’t do anything out of line!”

After reiterating several times, the man quickly rushed towards the Sky Pavilion.

Li Yuan Yi’s mouth revealed a cold smile. He watched the man’s back for a while before speaking coldly: “It’s just a useless loser, thinking he can cooperate with me?”

“Even if you help me solve the formation, I will absolutely not give you any chance in the future, nor let you benefit from it. When I enter the Sky Pavilion, the first thing is to kill a traitor like you because I detest traitors!”

Li Yuan Yi’s mind suddenly recalled the faces of Xu Changqiu and Wu Yanxu. Both of them are people from Elixir Valley, yet they have been persuaded by Wang Zhan. Now they’re hiding inside a turtle shell with him.

As for the oaths he made, he naturally didn’t take them to heart. Once his power reaches an absolute height, he could even contend with destiny, so why would he care about past promises?

Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation couldn’t do anything to him, so why would he care?

He only needed to wait for the man’s good news.

He could tell the man was ambitious, obviously having his own thoughts. So it won’t be long before good news arrives.

Time passed second by second, and it was dark before he knew it.

Under the night, a figure was stealthily approaching the water well behind the City Lord’s Mansion.

Here is where the Eye of the Formation is located!

However, Wang Zhan was very trusting of those inside Tian Pavilion, so he hadn’t defended this place. There wasn’t a single person in sight here!

The man’s eyes twitched as his smile grew more pronounced, already envisioning himself becoming a shocking expert!

It was indeed his luck that he knew the location of the Eye of the Formation because he overheard Wang Zhan and others talking about it, allowing him to confirm this as the Eye of the Formation!

In no time, he walked to the well. But just as he was about to enter it, he discovered runes on the well and hadn’t reacted before sensing figures appearing behind him. When he turned his head, his expression immediately turned grim!

In the next second, the man fell straight to his knees, his legs already beyond his control…
