The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1407 - 1398: Who Is Actually Tricking Whom?

Standing at the entrance of the treasury, Gui Xiongtian and Feng Lengyao watched as Ye Chenfeng, after leveling up, continued to scavenge all sorts of magical treasures. Seeing the diminishing items in the treasury, although they knew Ye Chenfeng couldn’t possibly take everything, they were still so infuriated they almost flared their nostrils in anger.

Ye Chenfeng had quite a few storage rings. Ultimately, he emptied the Blood Soul Clan’s treasury, and after confirming that nothing was left behind, he strode out of the treasury and said to Gui Xiongtian and Feng Lengyao, "Alright, I’ve found all the materials I need. I can now break the array restraining you."

Gui Xiongtian and Feng Lengyao tried their best not to look at Ye Chenfeng’s satisfied face, their foreheads throbbing with veins. They feared that in a moment of impulse, they’d crush Ye Chenfeng to death.

Led by Gui Xiongtian and Feng Lengyao, Ye Chenfeng returned to the great hall. They moved to stand beside Xue Liyang and Xue Ao, whispering about Ye Chenfeng’s actions in the treasury.

Xue Liyang didn’t show any sign of anger on his face. Even Xue Ao, after being reprimanded by Xue Liyang, managed to restrain his emotions. However, the murderous intent in his eyes revealed that Xue Ao was indeed very, very angry.

"Have you found everything you need? How do you plan to break the array restraining us?" Xue Liyang asked Ye Chenfeng with a blank expression.

Ye Chenfeng replied casually, "Of course, I’ll use an array to break an array. I plan to set up a formation inside Blood Soul City. As soon as my formation activates, the one restraining you will immediately disappear."

Xue Ao, Gui Xiongtian, and Feng Lengyao wore expressions full of mockery. To them, the array on the walls of Blood Soul City required twenty expert array practitioners sacrificing their lives to set up, and over a hundred more to activate.

They saw that Ye Chenfeng seemed just over twenty years old, little more than a greenhorn. How skilled could his proficiency in formations be? They almost entirely didn’t believe Ye Chenfeng could use an array to break their array.

However, Xue Liyang, hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, showed no change in expression and said, "Very well, our agreement was for one month anyway. Don’t disappoint me!"

Ye Chenfeng shrugged and said, "I definitely won’t disappoint you guys. I see a vast plaza in Blood Soul City; I’ll set up the formation there."

That plaza was indeed the central location of Blood Soul City, the best spot for setting up the Main Array of the God-slaying Annihilation Formation.

Xue Liyang waved his hand and said, "Gui Xiongtian, Feng Lengyao, go with him to the plaza. I’ll follow shortly."

After Gui Xiongtian and Feng Lengyao led Ye Chenfeng towards the plaza, Xue Ao said, "Father, this pest is utterly arrogant. He emptied our treasury and used the treasures inside to break through to the Divine Thought Realm. It’s simply unforgivable."

Xue Liyang’s face also flashed with killing intent, Evil Qi seeping from him as he maliciously smiled, "There’s no need to get angry with a dead man. Let’s go see whether that boy really has a way or if he’s just buying time."

...

Thely center of Blood Soul city, on the plaza.

Soon after Ye Chenfeng arrived there with Gui Xiongtian and Feng Lengyao, Xue Liyang and Xue Ao also arrived.

Ye Chenfeng stood in the middle of the plaza, the voice of the White Shadow Person echoed in his mind, "Little guy, after discussion with Old Black, we’ve preliminarily grasped how to set up the Main Array. Just follow our instructions during the setup, and you’ll definitely give the Blood Soul Clan a big surprise."

"This Main Array is composed of four smaller formations, which must be linked consecutively. With each linked component, the annihilation power will increase hundreds of times. We estimate you only need two days to successfully set up the Main Array."

"Little guy, just follow our instructions for setting it up! Setting up the Main Array requires immense concentration. Even a tiny mistake isn’t allowed as it consumes substantial energy."

"First, take out five million High Grade Spirit Stones. Setting up this Main Array will consume about five million High Grade Spirit Stones."

Listening to the White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian, Ye Chenfeng inhaled sharply. He originally had a total fortune of about eight million High Grade Spirit Stones. Luckily, he scavenged around seventy million High Grade Spirit Stones from the Blood Soul Clan’s treasury, or else he would be instantly impoverished.

The storage ring on Ye Chenfeng’s finger flashed, and he took out five million High Grade Spirit Stones, starting to set up the Main Array while carefully following the White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian’s instructions.

Watching from a distance, Xue Liyang, Xue Ao, Gui Xiongtian, and Feng Lengyao. Gui Xiongtian asked cautiously, "Clan Leader, do you really believe this boy can break the array restraining us?"

Feng Lengyao immediately added, "Clan Leader, I feel this boy is just putting on a show."

Xue Liyang, voice low, said, "Whether the boy is buying time or showboating, does it matter to us? The Spirit Stones and treasures he took into his storage ring can’t leave with him; instead, his soul will be refined by us."

"Let him mess around. Can someone at his level make waves in front of us? And what if he genuinely can break the array restraining us? I honestly don’t believe he can, but even if there’s a one-in-ten-thousand chance, I don’t want to give it up."

Completely focused on setting up the Main Array, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t hear Xue Liyang and the others’ conversation. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and cheeks onto the Spirit Stones. Under the White Shadow Person’s guidance, it took him five hours to set up the first smaller array.

Once the first smaller array was set up, part of the energy from the Nine Heavens Seal Formation on the Blood Soul City’s walls began converging toward this smaller array, reducing the restraint on the Blood Soul Clan’s power significantly.

As the Main Array is set up, the energy from the Nine Heavens Seal Formation on the walls continuously converges into the Main Array, gradually weakening the sealing force as the Nine Heavens Seal Formation slowly transforms into the God-slaying Annihilation Formation.

Yet, this helped relax the Blood Soul Clan’s vigilance, making them believe Ye Chenfeng’s array setup was indeed working.

Indeed, after Ye Chenfeng completed the first smaller array.

Xue Liyang, Xue Ao, Gui Xiongtian, and Feng Lengyao all felt the change in the heavens and earth. A trace of joy flickered in Xue Liyang’s eyes as he said, "It seems this boy has some skill in formation making. Perhaps he really can break the restraint."

Gui Xiongtian and Feng Lengyao both appeared excited. Gui Xiongtian said, "This boy’s aptitude is poor, yet his formation skills are astoundingly strong?"

Feng Lengyao added, "The Clan Leader is indeed prescient! Otherwise, our Blood Soul Clan would have been trapped here for a hundred years."

Xue Ao flashed a cruel smile and said, "This pest is quite useful after all. If he helps us break the restraint, then I’ll be merciful and give him a quick death, showing the magnanimity of our Blood Soul Clan."

Xue Liyang patted Xue Ao on the shoulder, saying, "In the future, you should learn to temper your temper, learn to employ others; many times, brute strength alone isn’t enough." Xue Liyang’s gaze occasionally glanced toward Ye Chenfeng in the distance.

Having completed the first smaller array, Ye Chenfeng had to stop to recover some energy. Observing Xue Liyang and the others’ ambiguous smiles, he remained expressionless, but inside, a cold smile flickered — when the God-slaying Annihilation Formation succeeds, would Xue Liyang and others still be this composed?

Who is truly being deceived?

Who is really using whom?

Is Ye Chenfeng a fool, or are Xue Liyang and his Blood Soul Clansmen the fools?
