Overriding the Heaven

Just as Chu Yan was about to enter the desolate ruins, a puzzled voice came out from a vast palace within the Shattered Star Pavilion.    

The walls of this palace were densely packed with thousands of light screens. On each of these screens, the image of one of the outer disciples currently within the ruins of Tianhan City could be seen.    

It was very obvious that because the selection competition in Tianhan City was about the people who would be chosen from the General Election of the Orthodoxy, the higher ups of the Shattered Star Pavilion would not just let them have it, and let them compete freely.    

At the same time, the eighteen sky-high s who were in charge of Hua Muyan were all in the palace, using their powerful divine senses to simultaneously pay attention to the thousands of light curtains on the walls.    

Because he was more concerned about Chu Yan, Qin Shishi's attention had been on Chu Yan from the very beginning.    

She was the one who asked the question.    

Previously, Chu Yan had slightly punished a disciple who attempted to kill him, but did not do so.    

In the world of cultivators, the law of the jungle was even more cruel, but it was still within the sect.    

No matter what, in this sort of competition, if they killed a fellow sect member, the elders watching the competition would always feel displeased.    

And from Qin Shishi's point of view, Chu Yan's performance just now was already very good.    

As a punishment, to break the opponent's hand and then take away the storage bag, no one would think that he had done too much. However, Chu Yan kept the other party's jade tablet, which showed that he still held feelings for the other party. This action not only allowed Chu Yan to obtain the other party's storage bag, but also caused him to receive the nod of approval from many of the elders in the hall.    

It was a good thing for a cultivator to kill decisively. However, one could not distinguish between situations, and could easily kill. This was a problem.    

Qin Shishi understood Chu Yan's actions, but following that, he moved further away from the crowd as if she was going to hide, which made Qin Shishi unable to understand what she was doing.    

It is indeed a little early to go and snatch away nine jade plates, but at least you have to confirm who is holding all nine plates!    

Because she knew the relationship between Chu Yan and himself, when Qin Shishi asked that question just now, she wasn't the only one who was puzzled, she was also asking that question to the nearby Hua Muyan.    

Hua Muyan also looked towards the light screen where Chu Yan was. At this time, Chu Yan did something that everyone did not understand.    

He took out some materials from the storage bag. These materials were clearly prepared beforehand and he began to set up the array on the spot.    

"Hmm?" Hua Muyan blinked, she was obviously unclear of what Chu Yan was planning to do.    

"What is he trying to do?" At this time, Qin Shishi had the urge to pull Chu Yan out and ask him about it.    

Compared to the other disciples fighting in the light screen, Chu Yan's place could simply be described as peaceful and calm, and not cold at all.    

The formation that Chu Yan had set up was not complicated, but it was clear that he had made preparations beforehand.    

After doing all of this, he entered the formation, and under Hua Muyan's and Qin Shishi's gaze, Chu Yan and the formation disappeared together.    

"Hiss —"    

This time, both Hua Muyan and Qin Shishi, who were noble The Broken Star Pavilion s, gasped at the same time as astonishment flashed in their eyes.    

With their knowledge and insight, they naturally could see that Chu Yan had not truly disappeared, but had hidden himself instead.    

Actually, he was still there. It was just that no one could see him.    

"Concealment Formation." Qin Shishi muttered, and her eyes actually started to turn red.    

Hua Muyan couldn't help but pull a corner of her mouth, looking as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't.    

Their strange expressions immediately attracted the attention of the other elders around them.    

Everyone's gaze immediately turned towards the light screen that Hua Muyan and Hua Muyan were looking at.    

At first, they were curious because there were no disciples on the light screen. But soon, they discovered that this disciple was only using the formation to hide himself.    

With Chu Yan's current level of array knowledge, it would not be a problem to trick the cultivators inside the Pulse Condensation Stage, but to trick these celestial mood stage Rankers, it would be impossible.    

The crowd did not expect that they would be able to see a disciple using a formation in such a competition. They were astonished, but they did not think too much about it.    

After all, the disciples of the Shattered Star Pavilion did not know how to use arrays, which was strange.    

But Qin Shishi was different from them.    

At this moment, she felt her nose turn sour.    

The reason was simple, she had personally witnessed the entire process of Chu Yan setting up the array.    

Chu Yan's methods, the materials Chu Yan used, all caused her to think of his younger sister Qin Qianqian, who had accidentally fallen!    

"He must have read Qian Qian's notes, that's why he set up this barrier array. Furthermore, I remember clearly, the barrier array was originally one of Qian Qian's most proficient array formations. This brat, he, he —" For a moment, Qin Shishi's heart was a little sour, yet at the same time relieved.    

Qin Shishi was reminiscing about his old friend, while Hua Muyan was guessing about the reason behind Chu Yan's actions.    

"Could it be that he wants to ambush us? It should not be like that, the route he is taking, is clearly deviating from the location of the nine jade plates, if he is waiting, then it would be too stupid, moreover, it is not his style, or in other words, he did not plan to participate in the early stage of the competition, and there is another possibility, that he has his own goal? " Hua Muyan made many guesses in her heart, but unfortunately, she could not see Chu Yan moving inside the barrier array, so she was unable to make an accurate judgement.    

For Chu Yan himself, he never thought that his current actions would be noticed by so many elders, and that it would cause both Hua Muyan and Qin Shishi to be at a loss.    

If Hua Muyan and Qin Shishi were to find out what he was doing now, they would most likely send him flying with a slap.    

Chu Yan was sleeping.    

He was sleeping in the set up of the shield array.    

This was not a whim on Chu Yan's part, but a plan he had made long ago.    

A few days ago, he had been contending against nether fire. Although the results were good, his body had accumulated a large amount of fatigue.    

Therefore, after arriving at the ruins of Sky Han City, Chu Yan observed the situation and decisively followed his plan. He found a place with no one around and started to replenish his sleep to recuperate.    

As for the competition for the nine jade plates, Chu Yan had already guessed it as he had a plan and goal in mind.    

So right now, there was no need to waste time to compete with others.    

Just when the other outer sect disciples had already started their intense fight, and were battling within the ruins of Tianhan City, Hua Muyan and Qin Shishi were suspicious of his abnormal behavior. By then, Chu Yan had already fallen into a deep sleep.    

During this period of time, the pillar of light that lit up every hour rose up again and again within a set time.    

Finally, only a few minutes remained before the eleventh light beam lit up.    

At this time, Chu Yan, who had slept for almost an entire day, opened his eyes in the barrier array.
