#1172 - Chapter 1172 Wu Xiu
Zhang Tie and the others exchanged glances, not expecting Shang Zhen to know their situation.
“Mister is truly insightful. The activation of this Grand Net Formation is indeed related to us. Now, this Sifang City is full of people hunting us down. I'm afraid we can't stay here much longer.” Ye Kong told the truth. Shang Zhen was also an understanding person and knew their difficulties.
“This Grand Net Formation was originally set up jointly by the four major families to protect the city, but now, I didn't expect it to be used on you. You guys can be considered to have not come here in vain.”
Hearing Shang Zhen's words, the corners of Zhang Tie and the others' mouths couldn't help but twitch.
If I had known that this Sifang City was so dangerous, I shouldn't have come here in the first place. Zhang Tie's heart was now somewhat regretful.
“Please, Mister Shang, tell us the method to break the formation.” Ye Kong didn't pay attention to Shang Zhen's words, he just needed to know the method to break this Grand Net Formation.
Shang Zhen had experienced the helplessness of wanting to escape but having no way to do so. Now that Ye Kong and the others were facing this problem, Shang Zhen didn't pretend to be profound and still told them the method to break the formation.
“The Grand Net Formation covers a wide area, almost the entire Sifang City is within it.”
“And this Grand Net Formation is powered by the spiritually powerful descendants of the four major families, who output spiritual energy in four directions, triggering the activation of the Grand Net Formation, and then gathering spiritual energy to inject into the formation, in order to maintain the formation for a long time.”
“And the key to breaking the formation lies in those four people. The activation of the formation requires the joint effort of four people, but the subsequent duration of the formation does not necessarily require those four people.”
“Therefore, even if you eliminate one of them, it will not have any impact on the Grand Net Formation. If you want to break the formation, you must make all four people who activated the formation stop!”
Shang Zhen told the method to break the formation, and Ye Kong and the others' expressions became solemn.
“The people of the four major families are probably heavily guarded at this moment. Being able to break in and out, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.” Hearing Shang Zhen's words, Wen Jie expressed his concerns.
“We will act separately now. If anything unexpected happens, send a signal with a letter-carrying bird as soon as possible.”
Ye Kong announced the plan. Zhang Tie and he would first go and learn from the martial arts practitioner Tang Clan, while the Xu Clan's patriarch had suffered a heavy blow from Ye Kong, and was probably not yet healed, so he let Gongsun Qing and the other three go to the Xu Clan.
Without delay, the group thanked Shang Zhen and then left one after another. Before leaving, Ye Kong gave Shang Zhen a few bottles of spiritual pills that he knew.
“Although these medicines cannot restore your spiritual bones, they can extend your lifespan and give you more opportunities to enjoy life.” Ye Kong waved his hand, and three white jade bottles appeared in his hand, handing them to Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen looked at the white jade bottles, smiled, with some helplessness in his eyes.
Shang Zhen reached out and pushed the bottles back to Ye Kong.
“These medicines are all excellent spiritual pills. Giving them to me is useless. You should take them yourself. This world, this Sifang City, is just a shackle of a prison to me. Without spiritual bones, lifespan and those things don't matter anymore.” Mentioning “spiritual bones,” a layer of mist rose in Shang Zhen's eyes.
Ye Kong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then bowed to Shang Zhen to express his gratitude.
Not many words, all in courtesy.
When Ye Kong left, worried that those family soldiers would find Shang Zhen's home by following their spiritual energy, Ye Kong waved his sleeve and erased the traces of their stay at Shang Zhen's place.
Afterwards, the group split into two teams and went to two of the four major families.
The poison cultivator Xu Clan and the martial arts practitioner Tang Clan.
Ye Kong and Zhang Tie first arrived at the Martial Gate.
The guards were all burly men wearing black martial arts uniforms, but Ye Kong and the others, relying on their agile movements, directly unleashed their Spirit-Spinning Palms with both hands.
They beat the Martial Clan's gatekeepers to a pulp, and then the two of them rushed directly into the Martial Gate.
Relying on the exploration of his divine sense, Ye Kong successfully found one of the people casting the formation.
Ye Kong and Zhang Tie broke through the encirclement of numerous family soldiers and rushed directly to the backyard.
They saw one of them, floating on a couch, his whole body emitting abundant spiritual energy, his eyes tightly closed, but his hands were constantly injecting his own spiritual energy into the formation.
And in the field, there were two other people, whose appearance was extremely similar to the person casting the spell, and it was even difficult to distinguish them.
The two men in black Taoist robes were tall and burly, and their expressions did not look friendly.
When they saw Ye Kong and Zhang Tie's sudden intrusion, the two men immediately became vigilant.
Zhang Tie was a little surprised to see the three people's very similar appearance.
“Even if twins are born, there will be subtle differences in their appearance, but how can these three people look so similar!”
“Before leaving, Shang Zhen said that the Tang Clan's patriarch of the martial arts practitioners had gone out to travel in his early years, and entrusted the huge family business to the three Tang brothers. The eldest son Tang Yian, the second son Tang Yichu, and the third son Tang Yichuan.”
“Triplets?” As soon as Zhang Tie heard the names and saw the appearance, he was sure that they came from the same womb.
Ye Kong nodded, “That's right, the three of them all entered the Dao through martial arts, and their bodies are indeed stronger than ordinary people, and the person casting the spell should be the eldest son.”
Zhang Tie's two circles did hit the two people's solid bodies, but then the two glared, directly stretched out their big hands, grabbed Zhang Tie's arm, spun it a large circle, and threw it violently in the direction of Ye Kong.
Zhang Tie's strength was no match for the two, and he had no chance to fight back. Before he could pinch the formula to cast a spell, he was directly thrown over with great force.
Ye Kong skillfully caught Zhang Tie again.
“I'll do it!” Ye Kong tapped his toes, jumped up, shouted loudly, like a thunderclap, and quickly swung out two palms.
The moment the two palms were swung out, an invisible aura swept out.
The two brothers looked at each other, as if they understood each other's intentions. At the same time, they mobilized their minds and luck, and two identical auras suddenly rose around their bodies.
The whistling strong wind blew, and the two brothers twisted their hands and clenched them tightly. At that moment, endless power gathered on their fist as big as a sandbag.
The two brothers aimed at Ye Kong's palm and punched out fiercely.
“Boom!”
The fists and palms of the two sides intersected, causing the air waves to roll, and the sound shook all directions. The flowers and plants in the entire backyard were shaken by it. The terrifying power swept out and surged around.
The two sides confronted each other and struck, neither of them intending to give way.
“Are you the ones who killed Ren Cheng?” Tang Yichu already roughly knew the identities of the two and guessed their intentions.
“An unintentional act.” Ye Kong perfunctorily replied with four words, while also increasing the spiritual energy on his palm.
