The formation leading to the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation was, to put it simply, just a means of using Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to trap Ye Huan and Yu Wuxia within. According to Ye Huan's earlier thoughts, if the Dongfeng-4 missile could destroy a third of the Southern Xiongnu Empire Palace, then surely it could break such a small formation. The only difficulty for Ye Huan was that the Dongfeng-4 missile was rather large. However, after Yu Wuxia's guidance, Ye Huan suddenly felt that this was not a difficult task at all, and that there was no need to resort to such a large weapon.
"Breaking through by focusing on a point," was the only conclusion Ye Huan could summarize from observing Yu Wuxia's actions. But saying it was easy while doing it was another matter entirely. If he could truly concentrate all his strength at one point to break the formation, Yu Wuxia would have acted long ago instead of waiting until now.
Realizing there might be something more to it, Ye Huan quickly stepped over to Yu Wuxia's side and placed a hand on the spot where Yu Wuxia had previously touched. As expected, when he placed his hand on the walls flanking the stone steps, a rebound force surged from above. If Ye Huan hadn't reacted quickly and withdrawn his hand, that force alone could have been enough to make him take a drink.
"Strange, the greater the force, the greater the rebound. But why did Elder Yu..."
Recalling how Yu Wuxia had also touched the walls earlier, Ye Huan began to ponder. His gaze then fell on the Flying Sword in Yu Wuxia's hand, and he suddenly realized that Yu Wuxia must have also experienced the rebound force from the wall; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out a Flying Sword specifically for testing.
Understanding that he couldn't simply break this formation directly, Ye Huan carefully considered his various arms. He believed there were weapons capable of concentrating all their power at one point for an instantaneous explosion. Among them, the Javelin Anti-Tank Missile undoubtedly had the most powerful explosive capability. Given their current situation, if they wanted to break through from a single point in the formation trapping them, the Javelin Anti-Tank Missile was undoubtedly the best choice.
Having made up his mind, Ye Huan calmly pulled Yu Wuxia aside. This wasn't because he held any prejudice against Yu Wuxia standing there; rather, he felt that since this formation had rebound power, if they were to use a Javelin-style anti-tank missile for an attack, there was no telling whether it might bounce back. It would be wiser to play it safe.
"Ye Huan, are you planning to make your move? Are you confident?"
Pulled aside by Ye Huan, Yu Wuxia had already guessed Ye Huan's intentions but couldn't hide his excitement as he asked about Ye Huan's confidence in breaking the formation. He looked as if he wished they could leave right now.
"Wait, didn't Elder Yu already give up on leaving here? Why does he seem so excited now?"
Seeing the excitement on Yu Wuxia's face, Ye Huan was filled with confusion, combining it with Yu Wuxia's earlier behavior. However, one could argue that any normal person would not willingly choose to die for no reason. As for Yu Wuxia's earlier act of giving up on survival, it was merely a result of his circumstances. Later, noticing Ye Huan deep in thought about an escape plan, Yu Wuxia had nothing better to do and thus came up with a strategy to break the formation, which explained his expression.
Without delving into why Yu Wuxia had such a drastic change in attitude, Ye Huan neither confirmed nor denied Yu Wuxia's words. Instead, he took practical action and summoned a Javelin Anti-Tank Missile, resting it on his shoulder, instinctively preparing to pull the trigger.
"Wait!"
Yu Wuxia called out to stop Ye Huan's action. Although he did not know the origins of the Javelin Anti-Tank Missile, it was clear that if Ye Huan dared to summon it within this formation, its destructive power must be tremendous. If they were caught off guard and the formation was suddenly broken, who knew what other dangers awaited them outside?
"What’s wrong?"
Ye Huan looked at Yu Wuxia in surprise. He thought that if not for Yu Wuxia speaking up, he might have already pulled the trigger on the Javelin Anti-Tank Missile Launcher. As for the consequences of breaking the formation, Ye Huan had not considered them at all. Fortunately, Yu Wuxia understood that Ye Huan was eager to leave this place. In response to Ye Huan's somewhat frustrated gaze, he slowly shared his thoughts and emphasized that this formation was merely a small-scale trap. While being trapped inside wasn't too bad, once they broke the formation, no one knew what dangers lay in wait outside.
"It seems like getting out of this damn formation is quite troublesome. I wonder what the First Master of Yuxu Palace was thinking. It’s one thing to guard against outsiders; even our own people have to sneak in like thieves..."
While venting about the First Master of Yuxu Palace, Ye Huan kept busy by summoning a large number of reinforced Riot Shields to encircle himself and Yu Wuxia. This action even made Yu Wuxia nod in approval. Although Yu Wuxia still had plenty of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within him, it was better to be safe than sorry. If they encountered danger after breaking the formation and were unable to protect themselves, what difference would it make whether they stayed inside or got out?
On the other hand, Ye Huan wasted quite a bit of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. From Yu Wuxia's perspective, while Ye Huan lacked many things, he was probably the only one who didn’t lack Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy since he had a large stockpile of Arms in his Spatial Ring. Since Ye Huan could replenish his Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy at any time, why should Yu Wuxia play the fool?
Unaware of Yu Wuxia's thoughts at that moment, Ye Huan saw him nodding and mistakenly thought it was praise for respecting elders. Misunderstanding this sentiment led Ye Huan to sincerely say to Yu Wuxia: "Elder Yu, I know you’re getting older and may have some difficulties moving around, but for your disciples, these are things I should do; you don’t need to take it to heart."
"Older and having difficulties moving? Nonsense! How dare you say that to me? Ye Huan, just wait! You don’t want to become the leader of Yuxu Palace? Just watch me find a way to pass on the position of leader to you once we get out."
Yu Wuxia nearly popped his eyes out when he heard Ye Huan mention his age. It seemed he had forgotten who had just refused to play the 'fool'...
