On top of the steep cliff, two figures were covered in a layer of white frost under the bright moonlight.
"You know about Yuan Arrays?"
Ye Chen was certain that Su Rouying was not a martial artist as she did not have the slightest bit of Yuan Qi in her body. However, she was an ordinary person. It was hard to believe that she could understand Yuan Arrays and determine its level.
"Apart from trading in spiritual materials, the House of Thousand Treasures also operates a black market in the dark. I've seen some Yuan Formation diagrams before, so I can roughly deduce it. However, I don't know what level the Yuan Formation is."
Su Rouying looked at the sky and said somewhat anxiously, "Time is tight. If you don't dare to go down, then don't follow me, lest you get in the way."
After tying the rope, Su Rouying was just about to climb down the cliff when she was stopped by Ye Chen. He rolled his eyes and said with a helpless tone, "If you go down like this, it's no different than seeking death."
After saying that, Ye Chen picked up a huge rock and threw it at the cliff near the cave.
Kacha!
The sound of the huge rock shattering echoed in the night sky. Soon, the two could see that around the cliff, the rugged rocks were squirming at a very fast speed.
"Demonic Rock Snake." Su Rouying's face turned pale as she shouted this name with a slightly cold expression.
As the name implied, Demonic Rock Snake was a type of vicious beast that lived on the cliff. Its strength was around the Seventh Sky of Martial Dao. The scales of this kind of snake were greyish white and looked no different from rocks. It was a type of vicious beast that lived in groups. Usually, more than ten of them would attack at the same time and their lethality was astonishing.
If Ye Chen had not stopped Su Rouying, she would have been dismembered by the Demonic Rock Snake before she could take a few steps.
There were more than thirty densely packed Demonic Rock Snakes. Taking advantage of the steep cliff, they attacked in groups. Even a truth level expert would find it difficult to deal with them.
"What should we do now?" Su Rouying looked at Ye Chen. Obviously, she did not want to give up.
"Very simple, hold me tight."
Ye Chen had just finished speaking when he rushed in front of Su Rouying. He opened his arms and used a rude and unreasonable method to pull her delicate body into his embrace. His right arm wrapped around her soft and slender waist.
"Ying."
Feeling Ye Chen's firm chest, Su Rouying subconsciously let out a soft gasp. She slightly raised her head and happened to meet Ye Chen's deep eyes. Her heart was restless and fiercely trembled.
"Hold on tight."
Ye Chen didn't notice Su Rouying's change. He hugged his right arm even tighter. The tip of his foot lightly tapped on the cliff, and the two of them glided down the pitch-black cliff.
The moonlight, the cliff, the hero and the beauty, gliding in each other's embrace, these elements seemed to form an absolutely beautiful scenery, making Su Rouying's eyes become much gentler. Her jade-like arms slightly bent, like a small beast, intimately burying her head in his embrace.
At this moment, there were no distracting thoughts in her mind. Her body floated as if she had entered a dreamland.
"Hey!"
But at this moment, a shout pulled Su Rouying back to reality.
She opened her eyes and saw that she had safely landed in the cave. However, because the feeling just now was too comfortable, Su Rouying didn't realize this at all. Her hands were still tightly hugging Ye Chen's body, and her head was about to sink into his embrace.
"If you want to hug for a longer time, I won't object." Ye Chen deliberately winked, full of teasing.
Su Rouying immediately let go, tidied her clothes shyly, and snorted: "Don't misunderstand, I didn't rest tonight, so I'm a bit sleepy. You're just a bag of bones, I don't like you."
Shrugging his shoulders, Ye Chen was too lazy to bicker with Su Rouying. He walked to the front of the cave and saw an obvious protruding stone. He pressed it slightly, and a deep and secluded passage appeared beside it.
Ye Chen looked carefully. Sure enough, there were traces of formation patterns on the stone walls of the passage. It was probably a defensive formation, but because of the passage of time, it had already collapsed.
"Follow behind me and don't run around. If something happens, I can't guarantee your safety."
Ye Chen turned around and instructed. Unexpectedly, Su Rouying didn't talk back this time. She nodded obediently and followed closely behind Ye Chen.
She wasn't a rude and unreasonable person, and knew that now wasn't the time to bicker.
The two walked into the quiet and secluded passage. A faint chill surrounded their bodies. The entire environment was terrifyingly silent, and only the light footsteps of the two could be heard.
"Fortunately, this hooligan came in with me. Otherwise, I would really be a bit scared."
Su Rouying said inwardly. Looking at Ye Chen's broad shoulders, a sense of security gushed out from her heart.
Ten minutes later, the passage became narrower and narrower, and Ye Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Pu!
Su Rouying, who was behind him, didn't expect this at all. She wasn't in a hurry to withdraw her strength, and in the end, her entire body crashed into Ye Chen's back. That kind of astonishing softness made the hearts of the two burn.
"Why did you suddenly stop?" Su Rouying's face turned red, and she immediately retreated a few steps.
Ye Chen coughed a few times, pointed at a stone door in front of them, and said helplessly, "Just as I was about to remind you, you had already crashed into it. You can't blame me for this."
Hearing this, Su Rouying fiercely glared at Ye Chen. Then, she walked to the stone door and seriously observed it. In the end, she didn't find any mechanism, and her face turned somewhat ugly. "This stone door seems to be very thick. It's very difficult to break it open with brute force. It seems that we have made a wasted trip."
"That might not be the case."
Ye Chen walked to the front of the stone door in large strides, and his palm lightly brushed past it. Immediately, small patterns appeared on the originally dim stone door, covering the entire stone door.
Formation patterns?
Su Rouying's face turned even uglier, and she said in despair, "It seems that the owner of this cave is an Origin Formation Master, and he specially set up an Origin Formation on the stone door. We have even less hope. An Origin Formation Master is one in a hundred thousand. Even if we scour the entire Sun Dragon City, we won't be able to find an Origin Formation Master, let alone break the Origin Formation on the stone door."
"There are no Origin Formation Masters in Sun Dragon City, but that doesn't mean that there are no Origin Formation Masters outside of Sun Dragon City."
Ye Chen let out a strange laugh. Soon after, under Su Rouying's astonished gaze, formation patterns flew out from Ye Chen's palm. The instant they approached the stone door, a white light flickered, and the entire stone door began to move upwards. An ancient aura that had been sealed for many years assaulted their faces.
Seeing this scene, Su Rouying's face was a little stiff, and her voice was trembling. "You … you are an Origin Formation Master?"
From Ye Chen's proficiency in condensing formation patterns, Ye Chen was not only an Origin Formation Master, but his rank was also not low. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to break the Origin Formation on the stone door so easily and quickly.
At this moment, Su Rouying had no choice but to seriously examine Ye Chen.
At the age of fifteen, he had astonishing strength, meticulous thoughts, and was also a high and mighty Origin Formation Master. When all these factors were combined, he was simply a peerless monster.
"Could he be a sect disciple from The Crystal Palace?"
Su Rouying's heart suddenly contracted. Only a colossus like The Crystal Palace could have such a super genius.
"Why are you standing there in a daze?
Hurry up and come in. "
Ye Chen smiled faintly, turned around, and immediately and carefully walked in through the stone door.
