Those people left the heaven-grade room, waiting outside for Jiang Chen to
deploy the formation.
“Jiang Chen, do you have the confidence?” Ji Yinyi was worried. She thought
Jiang Chen was attempting to do something he couldn’t achieve.
If he had said tomorrow, he might have the chance.
However, deploying a tactical formation which a Celestial Venerable couldn’t
crack in twenty minutes seemed impossible to Ji Yinyi, who was a Celestial
Venerable herself.
“Don’t worry.”
Jiang Chen would never have a wolf by the ears.
“Miss, where did you find your fiancé? Would you like to have a new one,
whose state is good enough for you?”
Outside the door, a man said sarcastically when seeing Ji Yinyi coming out.
“Shut up,” Ji Yinyi said coldly.
“What if I don’t? Will you send your Spiritual Venerable fiancé to give me a
beat?” the man said complacently.
At this moment, Li Bai landed before the door.
“What’s going on?”
Seeing there was no sign that suggested a fight had happened, Li Bai felt
relieved.
“Young master.”
The man greeted Li Bai with respect. He stopped laughing as soon as he saw
Li Bai.
“****, what are you doing?” Li Bai said unhappily.
“We heard young master you had invited two honorable guests here. We were
so curious about them that we couldn’t help but come to meet them,” the man
called **** said without even blinking an eye, since he had thought about the
answer beforehand.
“Then what’s going on now?”
Li Bai showed a confused expression when he saw Ji Yinyi was outside alone
and Jiang Chen wasn’t there.
“Young master, your guest is going to show us the power of his spiritual
tactical formation. He is deploying it inside,” said ****.
However, it wasn’t easy to bullshit Li Bai. Walking up to ****, he said, “Why
would he show you the power of his spiritual tactical formation for no reason?”
****, who had been answer Li Bai’s questions without a hitch, finally lost his
tongue. He started to look around.
“Miss Ji, please tell me what this is about.” Li Bai snorted. Then he came up to
Ji Yinyi to ask for the details.
Ji Yinyi told him what had happened.
Then Li Bai tumbled to the reason that Jiang Chen was doing this.
He shouted at **** in anger, “You broke into their room? Who on earth owns
this place? You or I?!”
“Young master, we were only curious about this man’s skills, but he gave us a
cold-shoulder treatment. That’s why we did it.”
“It’s their room. They have the right to decide whom to meet. It’s of course
your fault to disturb them,” Li Bai said unhappily.
“Young master, I really don’t see what’s so great about this guy that you are
protecting him like this.”
Since he wasn’t in the right, **** started to change the subject, avoiding
talking about what was important.
Li Bai wanted to refute, but he found others also agreed with ****.
Alas.
Li Bai couldn’t help but sigh to himself.
He started his career only lately. That was why he wasn’t as powerful as his
elder brother and his second elder sister yet.
As a result, some of the guests he had invited were good, while others weren’t
so good. **** was a good example for the second case.
He was so narrow-minded that he couldn’t put up with people stronger than
him.
He brought these people here to pick a fight as soon as he knew Jiang Chen
had got the heaven-grade room.
Also because of him, a rare genius had been elbowed out earlier.
However, he did have some tricks. He was good at winning over people and
forming a group.
Li Bai wanted to drive him away, but he was worried he would get a bad fame
for that, due to which it would be more difficult for him to find people.
Li Bai felt it harder to lay the devil than to raise him every time he saw ****.
“Six minutes have passed.”
Seeing Li Bai not respond to him anymore, **** felt complacent. He shouted
towards the room.
“****, don’t make a scene here,” Li Bai said sternly.
“Young master, he offered to do it. I didn’t force him into it.”
He was quite confident. Whatever tricks Jiang Chen was playing, he wouldn’t
take it seriously, because the success of a tactical formation didn’t only rely on
a formation.
It also needed resources and large amounts of materials.
Especially for this kind of tactical formations, which should only trap him
without killing him, Jiang Chen would at least have to change the room into a
fortress with bronze and iron walls.
“Twenty minutes.”
Li Bai didn’t get Jiang Chen, either. He had seen Jiang Chen crack a tactical
formation. In theory, he should have confidence in the latter.
The thing was he only had twenty minutes. Even a small talk would take ten
minutes.
He looked towards the room. It seemed that nothing had changed yet.
Li Bai looked towards Ji Yinyi. She just shrugged her shoulders.
At this moment, the door was open from the inside of the room.
“Done.”
Jiang Chen looked emotionless. He didn’t close the door after walking out of
the room. He said, “You’ll win if you can leave there after entering the room.”
“Done?”
**** was still beaming. He walked towards the door and stopped at the door,
but he didn’t walk in. He just popped his head into the room to look around.
“But nothing has changed,” he said, confused.
He could even see the lake from the balcony. Not to mention a fortress with
bronze and iron walls.
Observing the room carefully, he didn’t find any signs that could tell him there
was a tactical formation. There was just no change in the room.
“Are you scared?”
Jiang Chen said sarcastically and disdainfully.
“You want to scare me off in this way? All right. I would like to see what’s so
interesting about the room.”
**** thought Jiang Chen was bluffing. He had planned to enter the room if he
saw any sign of a tactical formation. By then he felt even more confident.
People saw him walk into the room and walk further in.
They felt nervous when he had stopped.
“Hahaha.”
However, **** wasn’t affected at all.
Opening his arms, he turned around. He yelled towards the door, “Where is
your tactical formation?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was automatically closed. It was
shut tightly with a pah.
The people outside was about to give Jiang Chen some sarcastic comments
when the sound of the close of the door gave them a scare. ****’s scared face
was still very vivid before their eyes.
In two or three seconds, all of them had to step back due to fear.
They heard ****’s tragic screams coming from the room.
No one knew what had happened. They saw nothing different with the room.
Everyone felt they could enter the room through the door or the windows
easily.
Vice versa, the people inside should be able to leave the room, too.
However, **** didn’t. On the contrary, his scream sounded more and more
tragic.
Soon, they heard a series of bangs. It sounded some furniture had fallen.
“What happened? Didn’t you say you would trap him without killing him?”
Although no one knew what the tactical formation was, some people
questioned Jiang Chen.
“I won’t kill him, but I didn’t say it would be painless. If you are not convinced,
just go inside to try it yourselves.”
Jiang Chen looked towards the other five Celestial Venerables coldly.
The voice in the room sounded hoarse by then.
“Let me out! Please let me out!”
The other five Celestial Venerables were given a good scare. They even lost
the courage to meet Jiang Chen’s eyes.
Li Bai was surprised, too, but he was more curious about how Jiang Chen had
made it.
He released his holy awareness. However, he didn’t find anything special
about the room except that the holy awareness couldn’t penetrate the walls.
A few minutes later, Jiang Chen walked forward to push the door open.
People saw the room was in a mess. ****, who should be able to leave the
room without any difficulty, was bumping his head against the ground, holding
his head with his arms.
The floor had been bumped broken. Blood was flowing down his cheeks. And
he was murmuring something.
“The door is open. Celestial Venerable, you still can’t walk out?” Jiang Chen
said in a cold tone.
“My bad. It’s my bad.”
**** said in a louder voice. People could hear what he was saying clearly. He
was kowtowing and begging for Jiang Chen’s mercy.
“What on earth happened?”
Ji Yinyi said in surprise.
A Celestial Venerable had been tortured to this extent in only twenty minutes!
