Chapter 878 - Hidden Formation

"First of all, they don\'t even know about our location or our identity. We\'re also leaving this world soon, so unless they somehow manage to find us before then, there\'s no point to even think about it."

"If they somehow manage to find us… We\'ll deal with it then."

"I understand." Feng Yuxiang nodded and said nothing else.

After returning to the hotel, Yuan logged off.

"I\'ll see you guys later. I have some business that I need to take care of, so I won\'t appear for a while. Don\'t worry, it won\'t be longer than a few days." Yuan said to Xiao Hua and the others before logging off.

Once he returned to his world, Yuan picked up his phone and dialed a certain number.

"Hello? Manager? This is Yuan. I\'d like to speak with the Lord. Please schedule an appointment for me." Yuan said.

"No. The Lord doesn\'t do appointments. He will call you when he needs you." The Manager coldly refused.

"Don\'t be so cold. This is about the demons in the mountain. Of course, if you want somebody else to deal with them, I will stop bothering you."

"..."

The Manager was dead silent for a good moment before she spoke, "I will speak with the Lord."

Di.

She immediately hung up afterward.

\'She really hates me, huh?\' Yuan chuckled inwardly.

\'What should I do now while I wait for a response?\'

However, before he could even think of anything, his phone began ringing again.

"Hello?"

"Get ready. I am coming to pick you up now." The Manager said.

"You already spoke to the Lord? It hasn\'t even been a minute since our last conversation—"

Di.

The Manager closed the connection before he could even finish his sentence.

Yuan quickly got dressed and went outside to wait for the Manager after leaving behind a note for Chu Liuxiang, who was diligently cultivating in the balcony.

About ten minutes after their phone call, the Manager showed up in front of Yuan\'s living quarters.

"Let\'s go." She said.

"You know, you don\'t have to pick me up everytime. I know the way by now." Yuan suddenly said to her.

The Manager stopped walking and turned to look at him with a serious face.

"Do you really know the way?"

"Of course." He nodded.

"Then you can take the lead," she said, even gesturing for him to walk ahead of her.

Yuan merely smiled and began walking in front of her.

About half an hour later, Yuan stopped walking, and he looked at the road in front of him with a pondering face.

"What\'s the matter? Why did you stop?" The Manager asked him.

"We should\'ve arrived at the peak of the mountain by now, but I cannot see the peak nearby even with my divine sense."

"Ridiculous." The Manager scoffed.

"Wait." Yuan suddenly said.

After a moment of silence, he smiled, "I see… No wonder why you told me to lead you. There\'s a powerful formation that keeps others from ever reaching the peak, am I right?"

The Manager narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Not bad. Now you know why I have to take you there. Besides the Lord and myself, the formation will keep all existence away from the peak."

"I understand now, but I still want to try to reach the peak." Yuan said, dumbfounding the Manager.

"Did you not hear what I just said?" She frowned afterward.

"I heard you loud and clear. Now that I understand it, I can deal with it. As long as I can figure out the trick to this formation, I should be able to reach the peak without your help."

"I would love to see you try, but we don\'t have the time for that. The Lord is waiting for you. If you make him wait too long…"

"Don\'t worry, this won\'t take too long." Yuan said as he took a seat on the street.

"..."

Even though the Manager was confident that Yuan would not be able to bypass the formation, she couldn\'t help but stare at him with interest.

Meanwhile, Yuan studied the formation with his divine sense.

\'This formation is well hidden. It\'s no wonder why I didn\'t see it at first. Unless you\'re actively looking for it, you will most likely miss it— No, it actively tries to disguise itself, so you won\'t find it even if you know about its existence.\'

\'Formations… Although they are not considered arrays due to their size and complexity, they function about the same.\'

Five minutes later, Yuan stood up and turned to look at the Manager with a smile on his face.

\'N-No way… Did he really manage to crack the formation? And in such a short time?\' She wondered inwardly, even feeling a little excited.

However, what came out of Yuan\'s mouth a second later made her fume in anger.

"You were right, I couldn\'t crack it. Sorry." Yuan said with a playful smile on his face.

"Y-You little bastard…" The Manager\'s eyebrows twitched aggressively, and her face twisted in anger.

"How dare you mess with me! If the Lord wasn\'t waiting for you, I wouldn\'t hesitate to beat you up right now! Hmph!" The Manager snorted before stomping ahead of him.

Yuan shrugged and said, "I\'m not trying to make any excuses for myself by saying this, but the reason I couldn\'t crack the formation is because I don\'t recognize half of the array symbols that make up the formation. If I understood the symbols, I would\'ve been able to crack it."

"Judging by the complexity of these symbols, they\'re probably level 4 or 5 array symbols. I only know up to level 3 and a little of level 4 array symbols. Once I learn level 4 and level 5 array symbols, I will try again."

"Whatever." The Manager said.

Even though Yuan wasn\'t able to crack the formation on his first attempt, the Manager was still impressed that he\'d even managed to see the formation in the first place. Of course, she would never admit that she was impressed by him, even if she was threatened with death.
