Beauty and the Bodyguard

9036 Chapter 9035-

“you can rest assured. it won’t take too much time to go back and forth to the imperial capital. it won’t be easy for our pursuers to find and discover this place in such a short time.”

as he spoke, lin yi started to wave the array flags and set up all sorts of stacking formations. with lin yi’s attainments in the array dao, he could put a concealment formation in the stacking formations and normal array masters wouldn’t be able to see through it.

even if someone found this hidden valley with a geographical map, it would be impossible to see anything different in the valley.

daniya thought for a moment and then nodded with a smile.””you’re right, i’m really bored and i’m actually worried about you! alright, i’ll go back to the imperial capital and find clairaudient to understand the situation. you be careful!”

with that, she waved her hand and turned to fly out of the valley, taking the map with her as she was afraid she’d get lost and lose lin yi …

“you should be careful too. don’t cause any trouble on the way. pay attention to your disguise and don’t expose your identity!”

daniya disappeared into the forest before lin yi could finish his sentence. lin yi didn’t know what to do-was it really okay to let her out just like that?

would he die?

of course, the one who would die would not be daniya, but the people who had met her …

he didn’t have time to think about that. lin yi shook his head and continued setting up the formation. soon, the layering formation was completed and lin yi disappeared into the formation. the valley returned to its original state, without any abnormalities.

even if someone were to enter the valley and search back and forth, they wouldn’t be able to see lin yi even if they passed by him. once the formation was activated, they’d be blown into pieces!

with the formation’s protection and concealment, lin yi took out the ancient stellar realm jade talisman and activated it without hesitation, releasing the ancient stellar realm, but the range was limited to a five-meter radius around him.

other people bought these jade talismans for combat, attack, or defense, but only lin yi used it to study the power of the stars. he didn’t want to use it on an enemy, since he had to split his attention to study it in battle.

it was more efficient to focus on one thing than to be distracted.

lin yi sat cross-legged on the ground. when he opened his star field, the ground disappeared. it was as if he was sitting in the starry sky, and it was a strange comfort.

the stellar field was filled with dense stellar energy, gently wrapping around lin yi. it was completely different from the violent attitude it had the last two times they met.

lin yi’s first attempt was to draw the stellar energy from the stellar field into his body, trying to use the new stellar energy to merge with the original and expel it out of his body.

he didn’t expect the new star energy to enter his body so smoothly, greatly increasing all aspects of lin yi’s strength. however, it couldn’t merge with the previous star energy-it was like water and oil, and even if they mixed together, they didn’t affect each other.

the first attempt failed!

lin yi didn’t mind-he didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, and failure was within his expectations.

next up was his second attempt. he would use the new star power to attack the old star power that was entangled with him. both sides had the same power, so it should be effective, right?

the facts proved that things were not that simple!

the powers that came from the same source did not clash. when the two met, although they could not merge, there was no rejection. thus, the plan to use poison to attack poison had failed once again.

with that, lin yi could only give up on the idea of a simple success and start focusing on the origin of the star power. as long as he could understand it thoroughly, it wouldn’t be a problem to solve the problem of the star power in his body and soul.

the power of the stars was not something that could be easily analyzed. furthermore, the jade talisman was only a simplified version of the ancient heavenly cycle stellar domain. although the source of the power was the same, it was much more difficult to analyze it completely after the simplification.

so lin yi activated the ancient stellar field continuously, using up all three chances, and only found a tiny clue in the end-it was far from a success.

it was like a 10000-piece puzzle. only five or six pieces that seemed to be related were found, but the five or six pieces had not been put together yet.

well, the effect was a little despairing!

lin yi had thought of copying the sky array sect’s formation, using it to simulate the ancient star field. the power of the stars was much stronger than the jade talisman ‘s.

it was a pity that the formation could be copied, but not the ancient star realm. there was something lin yi didn’t know-he couldn’t activate the ancient star realm just by copying the positions of the nodes.

as the three uses of the jade talisman were exhausted, it turned into dust and dissipated. the ancient stellar heavenly cycle domain also returned to nothingness after time was up.

Lin Yi sighed and took out the six-part star source instrument, ready to study this treasure that he’d spent almost all his fortune on. He wanted to see how he could use it to find the star Ink River.

Lin Yi’s expression changed as he put the device back into the Jade space before he even had time to check it out.

In this Hidden Valley, there were actually hundreds of powerful warriors. Most of them were above the heaven breaking stage, and a small half of them were above the late-stage sea Rift realm and below the heaven breaking stage.

It was obvious that these people were here for Lin Yi. Lin Yi had been studying the power of the stars in the ancient star field, so he didn’t notice anyone entering the valley.

Looking at how they were searching carefully, it was clear that they were not passing by the valley by chance. They had a clear goal and knew that he was definitely hiding in the valley!

How did they do it?

Lin Yi was suspicious-he’d clearly gotten rid of them all! Moreover, there were no marks on their bodies that could be traced, so why did these people chase them into the valley with such a clear goal?

As for Daniya, who was going back to the capital, Lin Yi wasn’t too worried. The Masters from the Tianji continent didn’t just come from the valley. There were many more who hadn’t appeared yet, probably going after Daniya.

But with Daniya’s strength, even if he couldn’t win, he could still break out and escape. Lin Yi didn’t need to worry about that. He should be thinking about how to escape from the valley.

Lin Yi’s formations were naturally wondrous, and under normal circumstances, even a formation master wouldn’t be able to notice anything.

However, no matter how profound the formation was, it couldn’t withstand the search of so many experts of the sea splitting stage and the heaven breaking stage! Lin Yi didn’t really pay much attention to it when he set up the formation, so it was inevitable that he would leave some small traces and flaws.

As expected, all the bad things that he thought would happen would eventually happen!
