"Relax, this little problem can't stump me." Evan Yang said confidently, smiling.
Everyone around was dumbfounded. If even this wasn't a problem, wasn't that way too exaggerated? As for Noah Qiu, he scoffed, "Kid, you're too arrogant. This is an extraordinary formation—even Emperors wouldn't dare to take it lightly. You're just a newly advanced Profound-Immortal, and you're acting so wildly. Ridiculous."
Some people started to think Evan was just bragging, so they all felt he was trying to play the hero.
Evan Yang smiled, "Noah Qiu, right? Your formation might be vicious, and you've created plenty of fake array eyes, but the real array eye—I know exactly where it is."
A few fake array eyes? The people nearby exchanged glances—that meant Evan must also be a formation master, otherwise he couldn't say such things.
"He's a formation master too?" Yang Tian asked Nangong Palace Lord, curious.
"I don't know the specifics," Nangong Palace Lord replied, puzzled. Elder Simon Spring was equally clueless.
Noah Qiu was surprised for a moment, but then sneered, "Ridiculous. You? Able to find the real array eye?"
"Whether it's ridiculous or not, you'll see soon enough." Evan Yang said with a smile.
Noah Qiu saw Evan acting like this and thought he was just bluffing, so he scoffed, "Enough, your trick won't work."
Everyone was shocked. They couldn't understand how Evan Yang had done it—just a moment ago, his flying needles had clearly fallen into the water.
Evan Yang smiled. 'How was that? Feels pretty good, right?'
How did you do it?! Noah Qiu never expected that even inside his own formation, he could be attacked.
How should I put it? Actually, I created an illusion myself." Evan Yang smiled.
What illusion? Noah Qiu really wanted to know the reason now.
A hallucination array! Evan Yang smiled. After he spoke, everyone saw Evan disappear inside the formation and reappear next to Damien Darkmoon.
I'm right here." Evan Yang smiled.
Noah Qiu was stunned, and furious. He never imagined his formation could be broken by Evan Yang like this. He realized several spots in the formation had just changed; upon close inspection, he found they'd been tampered with.
Evan Yang had done all this before Yvonne Darkmoon was in danger. But since no one could see the invisible Evan, they didn't notice. It wasn't until Yvonne was in trouble that Evan appeared—and just then, his invisibility failed, so he withdrew the ability.
I didn't expect you to be such a powerful formation master, but I'll remember today's grudge. I, Noah Qiu, will definitely get revenge! Damn it." Noah Qiu snorted coldly.
Trying to leave? You'd better check if there's a way out around you." Evan Yang sneered.
Noah Qiu checked his surroundings and found the area was covered in formations. He was shocked. "You really are meticulous—even accounted for this. But don't think formations alone can trap me. Goodbye."
After speaking, a black portal appeared before Noah Qiu and he disappeared from everyone's sight.
What is that?! Evan Yang exclaimed.
The Shuttling Gate! Marvin Mu exclaimed in shock. He hadn't expected Noah Qiu to use it, but it was risky and depended on luck.
Evan Yang didn't know what the Shuttling Gate was and wanted to ask, but many people had already gathered around to look at this hero. Yvonne Darkmoon stepped down from Evan's hand and thanked him, 'Thank you.'
Damien Darkmoon put away his treasure and smiled. 'Thank you.'
Elder Lewis walked over and smiled. 'You've helped us several times. May I ask your name?'
His name is Evan Yang! Nangong Palace Lord said angrily, unable to hold back.
The crowd was like a disturbed hornet's nest, buzzing noisily.
Elder Lewis also showed a surprised expression. At the opening, he'd consulted Nangong Palace Lord about Evan Yang's whereabouts, but he never expected Evan would be recognized in such circumstances.
Evan Yang didn't expect Nangong Palace Lord would recognize him, which puzzled him. Just then, Yang Tian spoke up, drawing everyone's attention.
Didn't expect another person with invisibility from the North Sect to appear—rare indeed. But be careful; someday you might offend the wrong people, just like the North Sect did in the past." Yang Tian smiled.
Evan Yang was secretly shocked—even his invisibility had been exposed. He was surprised that his abilities had all been recognized by Nangong and Yang Tian.
Elder Simon Spring didn't speak, but his aura was fierce—he looked as if he wanted to kill Evan Yang.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Elder Lewis quickly spoke up: 'Evan Yang, thank you for your help. Come, let's talk.'
After speaking, he was about to take Evan Yang away. Damien Darkmoon also spoke, 'Everyone, return if you have nothing else.' He then took Yvonne Darkmoon and followed Elder Lewis, while curiously observing Evan Yang.
Behind them, the crowd watched Evan Yang curiously, wanting to know who he really was.
Before this, everyone only knew Evan Yang as a genius who could defeat peak Heavenly-Immortals as a Profound-Immortal. But now, he was even more dazzling—he could turn invisible, disguise himself, break and set formations. Everything was on display.
Even Marvin Mu standing there muttered, 'What a prodigy—he cracked Noah Qiu's formation so easily. I need to report this to the sect.'
Besides Marvin Mu, many others had already spread the news.
Nangong Palace Lord, Yang Tian, and Elder Simon Spring exchanged glances and left in tacit agreement. For now, the three were united in their intent to deal with Evan Yang. However, Evan had become a hero, protected by Elder Lewis and others, so killing him wouldn't be easy.
In the shadows, someone showed a suspicious expression. 'Looks like I've found him.'
That person was none other than Drake Long. He slipped away and found the Devil Realm Emissary, explaining what happened.
After hearing, the Devil Realm Emissary said suspiciously, 'Didn't expect the Immortal Realm to produce such talent. No—he's a threat to the Devil Realm. No matter what, he must die, even if he didn't ruin my plans before. He must die.'
I'll make arrangements right away." Drake Long knew that Nangong Palace Lord and others had grudges with Evan Yang, so he planned to use their strength. He said goodbye to the Emissary and went off to work.
Inside a temporary house beside the black castle, Elder Lewis sized up Evan Yang. Not just him—Damien Darkmoon and Yvonne Darkmoon watched Evan like he was a treasure.
Until Yvonne Darkmoon asked, 'Last time in the black castle, were you the one who saved my father?'
'It was Grandpa Sleepy who asked me to help.' Evan Yang smiled.
'Just as I thought. Thank you so much—if not for you, my father would have been harmed by General Long.' Yvonne Darkmoon thanked him again.
'That's right—my life is yours. If you ever need anything, just ask.' Damien Darkmoon said.
'You're too kind, Senior Damien.' Evan Yang replied.
'Last time with the Devil Realm Emissary, was it you who tipped us off?' Elder Lewis asked.
'Yes, that's right. Unfortunately, he still escaped.' Evan Yang sighed.
'It's not your fault—the Devil Realm Emissary was too cunning. He used tricks and killed many, but at least it wasn't his true self.' Elder Lewis said.
'If only I'd figured out the Devil Realm Emissary earlier, things wouldn't have turned out this way.' Evan Yang still felt uneasy and sighed.
'Don't say that—you've already done so much. I never expected you to be the genius Evan Yang everyone's been talking about.' Elder Lewis smiled.
'You're too kind, Elder Lewis. 'Genius' is just a nickname others give me.' Evan Yang smiled.
'If it was just a nickname before, today I've seen the real thing. I saw your invisibility, disguise, and how you broke and set formations.' Elder Lewis smiled.
'Exactly—you're incredible!' Yvonne Darkmoon said admiringly.
'That's right—if not for you, both I and my daughter would have lost our lives today. Looks like I owe you a lot.' Damien Darkmoon smiled.
'You're all exaggerating.' Evan Yang said awkwardly.
Anyone who can break such a formation is certainly remarkable. You're a genius, but you need to be careful—many people want your life.' Elder Lewis said, after sensing Nangong Palace Lord and Yang Tian's attitude.
'I guess they realized I was the one causing trouble before, so that's why you slapped Yang Tian.' Evan Yang said.
'That slap was amazing—it embarrassed him right away.' Yvonne Darkmoon said enthusiastically.
'That's exactly why you need to be careful. Yang Tian is part of the Yang family, one of the Dou Tian clans. They won't let you off easily.' Elder Lewis said.
'Dou Tian clans? What are they?' Evan Yang asked, confused.
'They're powerful clans—four of the oldest and strongest in the Immortal Realm, second only to the Alliance.' Elder Lewis explained.
'Four?' Evan Yang asked, surprised.
'Yes, four. Each has its own talents—for example, members of the Yang family are born with superior blood, which helps them cultivate and boosts their fighting ability.' Elder Lewis explained.
'I see—these four clans must be very powerful.' Evan Yang said.
'Also, your invisibility will likely make the other two clans wary of you.' Elder Lewis said, sounding suspicious.
