"Ye Lang, don't resist. Surrender!" spoke the leader of the Dragon Knights.
"Yes, even if the queen is really against you, we won't let her have her way!" the royal alchemists also chimed in, and their sentiment was sincere and heartfelt.
If Ye Lang were executed, it would be a huge loss to the alchemical world. They would not agree to it!
"Thank you for your concern, but I'm not going back with you, nor do I want to become a tool in her hands. There is no one in this world who can make me a tool or make me surrender!" Ye Lang's voice was calm, but within that calmness, there was an indelible pride.
"Alright, I'm leaving now, and before I go, I want to commend you. You are indeed remarkable to break through my formation!"
"We're remarkable? Then you're even more remarkable. With your own strength, you've trapped 180,000 people inside. I think, if you hadn't shown mercy, all 180,000 would have died by now!" the royal alchemists said with a smile.
It was clear to everyone that if Ye Lang had wanted to kill the people inside, it wouldn't have been difficult. He had trapped them for three days and could have killed them.
If Ye Lang's array was not to trap people but to kill them, it might not have been just 180,000. After all, trapping people was much more difficult than killing them!
Of course, this was the mindset of the people on this continent. They wouldn't know that the art of formations relied on the principles of heaven and earth, and every formation had a living gate through which people could escape.
In fact, this time, not a single person had escaped Ye Lang's formation, primarily because of his continuous changes to the living gate. Otherwise, some of the 180,000 would have been lucky enough to enter it.
"Since you've figured it out, you should be grateful, not treat me like this!" Ye Lang lazily said, making the soldiers and generals present feel quite embarrassed.
Whether they were trapped by Ye Lang, had to show mercy to Ye Lang's subordinates, or were now surrounding Ye Lang, wanting to catch him, they all felt embarrassed!
"Say it again, I'm going to escape!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
After Ye Lang said these words, the central earth wall started to collapse, and the people trapped in the central area now saw an escape route. The feeling of being reborn after death made them desperately flee from this place that brought them the fear of death!
Suddenly, in all directions, people were running around in the central area!
This situation made people think that Ye Lang might be mingling among them and trying to escape amidst the chaos!
"Everyone stay in place, don't panic!" the captain of the Dragon Cavalry Regiment shouted.
And these people, being soldiers, quickly calmed down and accepted everyone's careful scrutiny. They all knew about Ye Lang's abilities, so even if you scrutinized them, you might not necessarily be able to figure it out.
Therefore, they had to be even more careful, more diligent, and even after being scrutinized, they had to keep a careful watch!
This way, they spent a very, very long time checking. Of course, the alchemy formation in the central area was also inspected. After confirming that there was no one, they became even more cautious.
Because Ye Lang had already sneaked in here, at least that's what they thought!
But in reality, the royal alchemists who studied the alchemy formation discovered near the alchemy formation a hidden underground passage behind a collapsed earth wall.
Ye Lang had already escaped through this underground passage!!
This much time had already given Ye Lang enough time to use alchemy to "dig" a long passage that could easily lead him out of the encirclement of the large army!
No matter how much they racked their brains, they could not think that Ye Lang would have this trick!
In this regard, they could only shake their heads and sigh, knowing that they would never be able to catch Ye Lang again. How could a single person like him be caught?
As for Ye LanYu and the others, it had been many days already since they had left the jurisdiction of the Sky Empire!
Afterward, the royal alchemists did not leave there. They stayed to study Ye Lang's formation, and although it was not very complete, they still gained some benefits from it.
From then on, the area was protected by the military, and no ordinary people were allowed to enter. Over time, a new city formed around it, a development that no one had anticipated.
However, this formation of Ye Lang became a legend in future generations, a prideful relic for the Sky Empire, or perhaps not just the Sky Empire, but the entire continent.
...
"Worthless, all worthless! How can't they catch him even with this!" Zhao Yarou was very angry, but she had no way to deal with it!
And now she had to deal with many things to consolidate her power, so she had to temporarily set aside the matter of Ye Lang. But this was only temporary!
"Ye Lang, one day, you will fall into my hands!"
...
"It's been seven days, why hasn't my brother caught up? Is he fooling around somewhere again!" Ye LanYu looked back, hoping to see Ye Lang's figure within her line of sight.
She wouldn't think that Ye Lang would be in trouble because she believed in him. If Ye Lang hadn't told her that he would be fine, she would be worried, but since he had said so, she would be relieved!
Only she would believe in Ye Lang like that. Princess Qi and Zhen Xiaoyan were still a bit worried. They, like others, were not too optimistic.
After all, Ye Lang was facing a large army alone, which was hard to imagine how he could deal with it.
Moreover, it had been seven days already, and there was no news about Ye Lang, which made them feel uneasy!
They didn't know that all the news about Ye Lang was now being sealed off, so they naturally couldn't get any information and didn't know that Ye Lang had already escaped.
And if they knew about this, they would definitely worry about another thing: whether Ye Lang would get lost, whether he would forget the agreement with himself.
Everyone knew that once Ye Lang was out of danger and safe, he might become absent-minded and run around. At that time, not to mention being discovered by the people of the Sky Empire, it would be a problem whether he could find the right way, which was also the most worrying thing for Princess Qi and the others.
Maybe at this moment, Ye Lang was heading back to the Sky Empire, for a reason as ridiculous as getting lost...
What was the reality?
