761: Dramatic

"How is it? Can this teleportation Formation Array still be repaired?"

Seeing Lin Yang inspect the damaged teleportation Formation Array, Cheng Fu couldn't help but ask.

Lin Yang frowned tightly: "To be honest, it's not easy to repair. The damage is quite severe, and we're missing materials."

The melee in the city had caused significant damage to the teleportation Formation Array.

With his current Formation Master level, repairing it would be extremely troublesome.

As for the missing materials, those would be relatively easier to acquire.

After all, there were no living people left in the city now. Although most of the goods in the major shops were destroyed in the melee, they should be able to gather enough by searching around.

"As long as there's hope of repairing it," Cheng Fu whispered.

"Let's go find the materials first." Lin Yang looked out at the surrounding ruins.

The shops were now ownerless; they could take whatever they wanted.

However, just as they were about to search for materials, Lin Yang's expression suddenly shifted. He immediately concealed himself and spoke via sound transmission:

"Someone's coming."

Cheng Fu was startled: "Who? Are there others in the city?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said nothing more.

Soon, five or six figures appeared in their line of sight.

Judging by their attire, they were clearly from the Tiankun Sect.

And the leader was Pan Yuan.

"It's actually that old fellow Pan Yuan. He didn't lose control and even brought people here," Lin Yang thought in surprise.

He wasn't sure what Pan Yuan intended to do by bringing people here at this time.

But he soon found out.

Pan Yuan led a few disciples directly to the teleportation Formation Array, then inspected it, and after inspecting it, he said:

"Good, good, it can still be repaired."

Hearing this, Lin Yang immediately understood that Pan Yuan had also come to repair the teleportation Formation Array.

This old fellow was also a Formation Master!

"It seems this old guy also wants to try repairing the teleportation Formation Array to see if he can leave this place through it." Lin Yang understood Pan Yuan's objective.

With this discovery, he concealed himself and Cheng Fu even more carefully.

Since that old fellow Pan Yuan was helping to repair the teleportation Formation Array, he wouldn't have to bother.

Pan Yuan didn't go searching for materials; instead, he directly took out a large amount of materials from his spatial ring and began to repair the damaged teleportation Formation Array.

Evidently, he had made ample preparations before coming.

The disciples stood guard around them, and after Pan Yuan took out the materials, he began to repair the teleportation Formation Array.

However, Lin Yang soon discovered that Pan Yuan's speed in repairing the teleportation Formation Array was not fast.

Clearly, his attainments in Formation Arrays were not high either.

Moreover, as Pan Yuan circulated his Dao Power, Lin Yang also noticed that the old fellow was injured.

And not lightly!

"Could it be that a large number of disciples and even other elders in the Tiankun Sect lost control, and this old fellow was caught off guard and injured in the melee?" Lin Yang secretly guessed.

He thought this was very likely.

Otherwise, with this old guy's cultivation, combined with the sect's closure, it would be almost impossible for him to get injured.

And seeing Pan Yuan was seriously injured, a murderous glint flashed in Lin Yang's eyes.

He was considering whether to take the opportunity to end this old fellow's life.

If Pan Yuan hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been very confident.

But now that this old fellow was clearly seriously injured, he could take him down if he found the right opportunity.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Yang temporarily suppressed this thought.

Once they started fighting, if it caused him to lose control, it would be more trouble than it was worth.

However, just because he couldn't act didn't mean there were no other methods.

Lin Yang looked at the scattered lost ones outside the city.

"Perhaps, I could lure a few lost ones over."

An idea formed in Lin Yang's mind.

Although it wasn't certain that the teleportation Formation Array could transport people away even after being repaired, what if it could?

He didn't want to keep Pan Yuan as a hidden danger anymore.

He told Cheng Fu his idea.

Cheng Fu, however, advised against it, transmitting his voice:

"Those lost ones are hard to lure. It would be troublesome if Pan Yuan noticed your presence."

"Anyway, he's severely injured now. Even if he really teleports away, we can just follow him and hunt him down."

"If he can't teleport away, then there's even less need to take risks. He'll die here sooner or later."

Lin Yang frowned slightly, then nodded slightly.

Cheng Fu made sense.

The teleportation Formation Array here was directional; it would only teleport to another fixed city.

He wasn't worried about not being able to catch up if Pan Yuan teleported away.

With his current strength, he was quite confident in killing a severely injured Pan Yuan.

There was indeed no need to take risks now.

He watched Pan Yuan repair the teleportation Formation Array bit by bit, estimated the time required, and waited patiently.

Time passed slowly.

Finally, a look of joy appeared on Pan Yuan's face.

The teleportation Formation Array was repaired.

He almost couldn't wait to step in, not even waiting for the disciples to follow, and injected Dao Power to activate the teleportation Formation Array.

The faces of those disciples visibly darkened, mixed with a hint of panic.

If Pan Yuan left, they wouldn't be able to leave at all.

But Pan Yuan's movements were too fast; he clearly didn't want to stay here for another second.

The teleportation Formation Array lit up.

It activated!

At this moment, not only Pan Yuan himself was nervous and expectant.

Lin Yang and Cheng Fu, hidden in the dark, were equally nervous and expectant.

"It must succeed, it must succeed!" Pan Yuan's eyes were filled with yearning.

However, the next moment, the light from the teleportation Formation Array suddenly extinguished.

Pan Yuan remained in place.

The teleportation failed!

The joy on Pan Yuan's face instantly turned into despair, but he still refused to give up and continued to activate the teleportation Formation Array again.

The light lit up again, but the result was unchanged, still quickly extinguishing.

Once, twice, thrice... Pan Yuan tried seventeen or eighteen times without giving up, failing every time.

He was forced to give up.

"Damn it, damn it!!"

Pan Yuan cursed in a low voice, exasperated.

In the dark, Lin Yang also sighed in his heart.

Although he had been mentally prepared, now that it was confirmed the teleportation Formation Array couldn't take them away, he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He no longer considered making a move on Pan Yuan.

Since they couldn't leave, staying here meant death was only a matter of time.

However, Pan Yuan's next action somewhat surprised him.

He saw that the old fellow actually destroyed the previously repaired teleportation Formation Array bit by bit.

Only then did he lead those disciples, preparing to leave.

"This old fellow... doesn't want others to directly use the repaired teleportation Formation Array to try, does he?"

Lin Yang quickly guessed Pan Yuan's intention.

Most likely, he wanted others to also spend time repairing the teleportation Formation Array when they arrived, and then fall into despair after anticipation.

It had to be said, this old guy's mind was truly dark enough.

Even at this point, he was still thinking about scheming against others.

Suddenly.

Pan Yuan and his group hadn't gone far when several others cautiously entered the city and headed straight for the teleportation Formation Array.

They appeared to be from the Hongwei Sect.

It was also an elder leading a few disciples.

Clearly, these people from the Hongwei Sect also came to try using the teleportation Formation Array.

Pan Yuan's group and the Hongwei Sect group quickly discovered each other.

The Hongwei Sect elder spoke first: "Pan Yuan, you actually arrived early. From your appearance, are you leaving? Could it be that you failed?"

Pan Yuan snorted coldly, ignoring him.

"Heh heh." The Hongwei Sect elder also sneered, but didn't bother with Pan Yuan and quickly approached the teleportation Formation Array.

When he saw the damaged teleportation Formation Array, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

Since Pan Yuan had been here, he must have also come to try using the teleportation Formation Array to leave.

So there was no reason for the teleportation Formation Array to still be damaged!

The Hongwei Sect elder was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something. He looked in the direction Pan Yuan and his group had left and cursed in a low voice:

"This hateful old beast must have already repaired the teleportation Formation Array, but failed to leave, and then destroyed it again."

With that, he flashed his figure and chased after them, directly scolding Pan Yuan: "You old fellow, your mind is truly vicious enough. Even if you failed, there's no need to destroy the teleportation Formation Array, right? Are you just afraid that we'll see the result directly and gain a little advantage?"

Pan Yuan sneered: "Who said I failed? I saw that the teleportation Formation Array was severely damaged and I couldn't repair it temporarily, so I was just thinking of going elsewhere to find some materials to repair it."

"Heh heh, come on, old fellow, stop pretending. You definitely repaired that teleportation Formation Array, failed to escape, and then destroyed it again." The Hongwei Sect elder scoffed.

He knew Pan Yuan too well.

Or rather, both sides knew each other too well.

"Think whatever you want. Anyway, I didn't repair the teleportation Formation Array. If you think I tried and then destroyed it again, then you can just leave directly and don't bother trying anymore." Pan Yuan said with an indifferent expression.

The Hongwei Sect elder's eyes turned cold. He stared at Pan Yuan for a long while before flicking his sleeve and snorting: "Consider yourself ruthless."

With that, he ignored Pan Yuan and returned to the teleportation Formation Array, also taking out a pile of materials to repair it.

Clearly, even though he could conclude that Pan Yuan had already tried, he was still unwilling to give up.

Pan Yuan watched this scene, a hint of mockery on his face.

It was obvious that he had also grasped the psychology of this Hongwei Sect elder, knowing that the Hongwei Sect would definitely repair it again.

So being discovered just now didn't matter.

"I spent time and effort repairing the teleportation Formation Array, and you still want to reap the benefits and know the result directly? Heh, dream on." Pan Yuan sneered in his heart.

He deliberately destroyed the teleportation Formation Array again to spite others.

In the dark, Lin Yang watched this scene and found it quite amusing.

That old fellow Pan Yuan's psychology had already become twisted.

After another long period of repair.

The Hongwei Sect elder also activated the teleportation Formation Array.

The result, of course, was no different.

He quickly looked at Pan Yuan, who was watching the show from the side, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes: "Pan Yuan, you old scoundrel were indeed deliberate!"

Pan Yuan no longer pretended at this point and sneered: "So what? What can you do to me?"

The Hongwei Sect elder was instantly enraged, his Dao Power surging around him, looking as if he was about to make a move.

Pan Yuan remained disdainful: "Do you dare to make a move?"

The aura around the Hongwei Sect elder instantly stagnated.

Make a move?

He didn't dare.

He truly didn't dare.

Those who had survived until now knew that once they made a move, it would accelerate their loss of control.

No one dared to act recklessly.

"Fine, Pan Yuan, you're quite something. Just pray you can live a few more days." The Hongwei Sect elder left a remark and then abruptly destroyed the teleportation Formation Array.

Pan Yuan's sneer deepened upon seeing this: "I thought you were so much better, but you're still the same."

The Hongwei Sect elder ignored him and prepared to leave with his people.

Pan Yuan found himself rebuffed and stopped speaking, also leading his people away.

However, an unexpected change occurred.

The Hongwei Sect elder, perhaps due to the intense emotional fluctuations earlier and the exhaustion of strength and energy from repairing the teleportation Formation Array, suddenly lost control not long after they left.

The disciples beside him were killed before they could even react.

Pan Yuan's previously calm expression instantly changed.

If it were ordinary disciples losing control, he wouldn't have changed color.

But now, the one who lost control was an existence of comparable cultivation to him.

And this Hongwei Sect elder was not injured.

Now that he had lost control, Pan Yuan would find it difficult to deal with him.

Almost instantly, Pan Yuan mobilized his power to forcibly push the Tiankun Sect disciples who had come with him towards the out-of-control Hongwei Sect elder, trying to buy some time.

He himself quickly fled.

"This old guy is truly ruthless enough, even sacrificing his own people." Cheng Fu couldn't help but complain upon seeing this.

Lin Yang nodded, then paid no more attention.

The Hongwei Sect elder killing those Tiankun Sect disciples was like chopping vegetables.

Although Pan Yuan ran very fast, he was still relentlessly pursued by the out-of-control Hongwei Sect elder.

Pan Yuan basically had no way out.

He was already injured, and being hunted by a lost existence of the same level, he wouldn't be able to run for long before being caught.

Even if he miraculously escaped, it would consume a large amount of Dao Power, which was not much different from making a move.

In short, Pan Yuan would either die at the hands of the out-of-control Hongwei Sect elder this time, or he himself would lose control.

"Your revenge is settled, even if that old fellow Pan Yuan didn't die by your hand." Cheng Fu smiled.

Lin Yang smiled wryly.

This outcome was indeed something he hadn't expected.

It was somewhat dramatic.

However, he didn't feel much of the easygoing pleasure that comes after an enemy's death.

The teleportation Formation Array couldn't take people out of Baichi City.

Now he was a bit lost as to where to go.

It seemed there was only one path left: to wait for death.

"I wonder how many people are still alive in the entire Baichi City area now." Lin Yang looked up at the hazy sky, feeling somewhat lost.

Tiankun Sect and Hongwei Sect had both come.

No one from Moon Shadow Sect came.

He didn't know if they had all been wiped out, or if they had arrived even earlier than everyone else.

Lin Yang was idly thinking.

Cheng Fu suddenly suggested: "Let's go collect resources. There's no one in the city now, everything is ours."

Lin Yang was startled: "Is there still a need?"

Indeed, they could take whatever they wanted in the city now.

But it didn't seem necessary.

Everyone was trapped here, and death would come sooner or later, so there seemed to be no need to bother collecting resources.

Cheng Fu said leisurely: "Let's just consider it something to do. I've never been very wealthy, so it's not bad to experience being rich now."

"In that case... let's just take the spatial rings from those corpses too. We're idle anyway." Lin Yang further optimized the plan.

Indeed, if there was nothing to do now, then find something to do.

They had to do something to fill the void of confusion.

Even if they died, they would be rich ghosts.

Cheng Fu was stunned.

He hadn't expected Lin Yang to be even more outrageous.

He didn't even spare the corpses. (End of chapter)
