The man finished saying what he wanted to say to Jiang Chen. He didn’t care what Yun Tiange had said. It turned out that while Jiang Chen was learning and comprehending the Metal Rule, many incidents had occurred. While this team had run across Xiao Ying, the other teams had plundered the whole manor. They had run into some dangers on the way, but they had also made some profits.

For example, the Wolf Clan youth got a bony claw that was from a powerful ferocious beast, and what was coincidental was that the ferocious beast was a wolf. This was why the fighting prowess of the Wolf Clan youth rose drastically, and he became able to fight against Xiao Jiantian. It was also due to this that the second sister, Xiao Xiao, managed to smoothly enter into the Soul Palace.

Besides this, Xiao Qin had managed to find a booklet, and, according to what people who saw her said, unusual and intense phenomena appeared around her body while she was reading it, and they guessed that it was due to a certain powerful magical technique.

So although Jiang Chen’s power had risen, other people also made some gains. Yun Tiange asked his people to keep Jiang Chen in the dark about their gains, because he wanted the unprepared Jiang Chen to throw away his life. Yun Tiange now found himself in an awkward situation, and he just lowered his head. He didn’t even dare to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen raised his right hand and clenched his fist, while golden lightning emanated from it.

“You will beat me even for this?” Yun Tiange almost started weeping, while he moved back repeatedly.

“Next time I meet you, this fist will hit you mercilessly.” Jiang Chen sneered coldly, opened his palm, and let the golden lightning scatter.

Upon witnessing this, Yun Tiange heaved a sigh of relief. But after he figured out the implication of Jiang Chen’s words, his heart shuddered. His heart didn’t shudder out of fear, but because he was just startled by Jiang Chen’s great confidence that was apparent in his speech.

While Yun Tiange believed that Jiang Chen would pay a grave price if he went to look for those people, Jiang Chen was confident that he could survive and would be able to look for Yun Tiange later to give him a punch. While Yun Tiange was still pondering over this matter, Jiang Chen and Yiya had already set off and closed on in the manor’s deepest region, which was the Soul Palace.

Jiang Chen ran across several corpses next to the Soul Palace, and they all belonged to people he had met previously. Moreover, when Jiang Chen saw the Soul Palace, he also got to see one of the seven women, Xiao Ya. The neck of this horrid woman was cut open, while she lay in her own blood. Her body had already lost its warmth.

“This is an imperial palace.” Jiang Chen and Yiya, who were accustomed to witnessing people’s deaths, didn’t care too much about such a sight, and their attention was attracted by the Soul Palace. They had assumed that it would have a single great hall and didn’t expect that it would be an imperial palace kind of building. The imperial palace’s towers had an irregular arrangement with charming effects, and since the towers overlooked the inside, it looked like a chessboard.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen also got to see Xiao Qin and her companions. Several teams were together. They were walking around the imperial palace like headless flies.

“What is going on?” After Yiya observed them for a while, she discovered that something was very odd about these people. They were constantly circling around, and, even though there was a distinct and clear road, they all wore a confused look.

“An illusory formation.” Jiang Chen discerned that an illusory formation had been set in the Soul Palace. Moreover, what was quite interesting was that it was Jiang Chen who had set it. It wasn’t like maze formations, as it wouldn’t just let people that entered it get lost, it would also screw up their perceptions.

Jiang Chen recalled to himself a certain previous conversation. Nevertheless, don’t use the illusory formation later.

After Jiang Chen had demonstrated the illusory formation he had just come up with to Xiao Nuo, this was what she had said to him. When Jiang Chen questioned her about the reason behind this, he was left between laughter and tears by Xiao Nuo’s reply. “There isn’t anyone who can break your highest-grade maze formation, let alone this illusory formation. This is too cruel. Being unrivaled without a peer is really a lonely feeling.”

At that time, Jiang Chen sighed, and what happened afterward demonstrated that no one could break the illusory formation. Since Xiao Nuo had set an illusory formation in the Soul Palace, then if she didn’t want to kill everyone, she surely had other plans arranged for them, and with Jiang Chen’s understanding of her, it was surely the latter possibility.

Could it be...

Jiang Chen went back to the side of Xiao Ya’s corpse, and, after he inspected it for a while, he ascertained his assumption was correct. Jiang Chen flew back to the outside of the Soul Palace, where he shouted loudly, “The crux for breaking the formation lies in the relationship between the seven people and the soul stones. You were all too anxious and have started killing each other.”

Jiang Chen was high above the people’s heads, and they could see him as long as they raised their heads, while his speech was quite normal. But it still ended up scaring those people greatly, and they all cried out in fright, while they became solemn as if they were facing a great enemy. Jiang Chen recalled his illusory formation’s special functions. It should have changed his speech’s content, as well as his voice. It was no wonder that those people responded intensely as if they heard a Devil King’s voice.

Jiang Chen went back to Yiya’s side and looked at the people down below that were running around in confusion like headless flies. Some of Jiang Chen’s enemies were among those people, and, what was quite amusing was that if he wanted to take revenge, he must first release his enemies. However, it was fortunate that Wen Tao and his companions were also there, and that was why Jiang Chen had a reason to intervene.

Jiang Chen explained this matter to Yiya in brief words, before he jumped into the illusory formation. In the twinkling of an eye, the world in front of Jiang Chen’s eyes went through a thorough transformation, and the Soul Palace turned into a lost paradise. Jiang Chen strode forward here, and after he walked for a certain period, he started breaking the formation. He was aware of what he should do. After several minutes, the illusory formation was broken, and Xiao Qin and her companions were finally freed.

Meanwhile, dazzling light beams emanated from seven rooms.

“Soul Stones!” The Xiao family’s women detected this, and they were about to go over there to take them.

“Kill them!” Since the crisis was resolved, Xiao Qin revealed once again her ferocious nature, and she passed down an order, before she started acting before the other people. Xiao Tianjian and his three other companions depended upon their great power and started attacking the other people.

Besides the second sister, Xiao Xiao, that had the Wolf Clan youth, everyone could only run away and try to take a soul stone while taking cover.

The one who was in the most difficult situation was obviously the seventh sister, Xiao Meng. Xiao Meng’s helpers were just Hou Jue, as well as Wen Tao and his companions, and they weren’t a match for the others. However, it was fortunate that the targets were all scattered around, and that was why Xiao Meng’s group didn’t end up exterminated.

But the Wolf Clan youth tore apart an enemy, before he went over along with other members of the Wolf Clan.

“Awful! You should escape quickly.” Hou Jue didn’t intend to fight, and his group’s members dispersed and escaped.

The Wolf Clan youth waved his hands, and his companions started attacking, while he obstructed Xiao Meng and Wen Tao.

“You don’t have to waste your energy on us, the second sister’s situation is still far from good,” Xiao Meng quickly said.

“You can be at ease, she isn’t so frail that she will collapse with a simple blow, as she isn’t like you,” the Wolf Clan youth spoke in mockery.

Xiao Meng’s expression changed, and she pursed her lips. “You should have stayed home obediently. But you insisted on coming here to throw away your life. Why do you have to take such actions?”

The Wolf Clan youth played with the machete in his hand with his eyes filled with excitement, while he was still wearing a cruel smile. “However, it’s obvious that I wouldn’t have attacked you if it wasn’t for Jiang Chen,” the Wolf Clan youth spoke once again.

“I’m not close to him,” Xiao Meng quickly explained this matter.

“I don’t care about this.”

The Wolf Clan youth didn’t listen to her, and he waved his blade. A blade beam that possessed great power shot out of it, and it seemed able to easily split open iron as if it was mud. Moreover, the target of the Wolf Clan youth wasn’t just Xiao Meng alone and Wen Tao was included. He wanted to kill them both with a single blade strike.

When those two people were about to be turned into two dismembered corpses, the blade beam came in contact with an indestructible object, and it was extinguished.

“Jiang, Jiang Chen?” When Xiao Meng had a clear look at the person in front of her, she was stunned greatly.

“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not close to you, and I’m just saving my teammate,” Jiang Chen said.

Upon hearing such words, Xiao Meng felt ashamed of herself, and she regretted her actions.

“I was just wondering who it was. I was looking for you everywhere. Yet I still couldn’t find you. I didn’t expect that you will come to me by yourself.”
