Ye Chen then made his way over to a balcony, took out a few spirit stones and jumped down.
The west side of this teaching building was where the students parked their bicycles. The students of this university were mostly rich, so most of them either drove their own cars, or were chauffeured here. Therefore, there were very few people with bicycles here.
The moment he landed, the ground cracked slightly. He then headed southeast.
The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation had six cores, one of which was a man-made hill behind the campus.
According to the blueprint, this hill was a pretty recent addition. Once he arrived, Ye Chen formed a hand seal with his fingers, and then tossed out a spirit stone, which flickered faintly.
Then, the spirit stone suddenly erupted and produced dazzling flames!
As the flames shone brightly, a formation pattern actually revealed itself on the surface of the man-made hill.
“As expected.”
Ye Chen sneered, and the Dragonslayer Sword appeared in his hand, and he swung it at the formation pattern.
Bang!
The formation pattern shook violently, which lasted for a few seconds, and then it completely shattered!
The crisp sounds of seals breaking rang out one after another, which attracted the attention of some of the university’s security guards.
However, by the time they arrived, Ye Chen had already made his way to the second core. Perhaps if others saw what he was doing, they would think that he was vandalizing the university’s property, but in essence, he was saving countless lives.
Soon, the second formation core also shattered!
The university’s leaders were completely dumbfounded by the inexplicable loud noises that kept ringing out. Furthermore, when they investigated, they discovered that two of the university’s properties had been damaged!
What was going on?
The university then dispatched even more security guards to patrol the area, afraid that something would happen again.
At the same time, in a spacious stone room in the Ghost Prison.
A few elders were sitting cross-legged. Ever since the previous incident with the broken seal, the number of people guarding the prison had increased.
After all, the prisoners here were all powerful experts, or had special identities. If something were to happen here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
These few elders exuded strong spiritual energy fluctuations, and the goateed old man was among them.
Suddenly, a formation tablet in front of them shattered, and a wave of spiritual energy swept out.
Boom!
The ground trembled as many elders opened their eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. It was a shocking sight!
The goateed old man also felt very uncomfortable. Just as he was about to speak, a few voices spoke up simultaneously.
“Not good, something has happened to the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation!”
They knew how important the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation was. If something happened to it, the energy that the Ghost Prison was supposed to absorb would disappear!
Without that power, opening the entrance of the Ghost Prison at the beginning of the month would require them to pay an incredibly high cost.
Ten seconds later, a sage-like old man thought of something. He looked at the goateed old man and said coldly, “Based on what happened to the tablet, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation has not been completely destroyed! We have to send someone out there immediately to stop whoever it is. If the whole formation is destroyed, we will be in trouble!”
“Alright, 1’11 get someone to do it immediately,” the goateed old man said.
Then, he took out a special device and pressed a red button on it. He ordered, “Sun Zhen, you and that person should still be at Capital City University, right? What’s going on out there? We have detected an issue with the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation. Hurry up and investigate this matter!”
Not long after, a reply was heard from the device.
“Sir, many structures around the university have been damaged, but we haven’t identified the cause of the culprit.”
“Go to the other formation cores immediately! If you find anyone approaching them, no matter who it is, kill them! Also, bring the culprit’s corpse to Ghost Prison! I want to see who dares to destroy Ghost Prison’s formation in broad daylight!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the device dimmed.
At the same time, the entire stone room was filled with cold killing intent.
While this was happening, Ye Chen had arrived at the fourth formation core, which was a stone pillar in the western corner of the university.
The stone pillar was seven meters tall, on which was engraved the university’s motto and credo.
Honestly, only someone from the Kunlun Mountains would be able to deal with this formation. Most other ancient martial artists would not even have noticed the formation.
However, as the art of formations was far more advanced in Kunlun Mountains, once he realized that there was a formation here, it was easy to figure out how to break it.
Ye Chen used a spirit stone to break the formation core’s defenses again, but just as he was about to destroy the pillar with his sword, a figure rushed toward him.
“You’re courting death!”
As soon as this person finished speaking, he drew his weapon. The wind whistled in his wake as he approached Ye Chen, and his aura seemed to freeze his surroundings.
When the figure approached, Ye Chen realized who it was…
It was one of the university’s security guards!
How could a mere security guard possess such a terrifying martial aura?
There was only one possibility, which was that this person was from Ghost Prison!
It seemed that destroying this formation had successfully lured someone out.
“You shouldn’t have destroyed this formation. I’ve already received orders that you must die, and no one escapes my sword!”
The man’s eyes were cold and arrogant.
A cold gleam slashed toward Ye Chen!
Ye Chen sneered. He gripped the Dragonslayer Sword tightly and said calmly, “A mere ant dares to compete with me? I’ll show you what a real sword technique is like!”
In the blink of an eye, the two swords clashed with a deafening boom.
Clang!
The man’s expression changed, and the sword in his hand shattered!
His eyes were filled with shock. How was this kid so powerful?
“Who exactly are you?”
His voice was trembling.
Ye Chen took a step forward, his sword intent soaring into the sky. His only reply?
“You have no right to know!”
