After taking a sweaty dump, Yi Feng returned to the mountains, quickly cleaned himself by the stream, and changed into fresh clothes.
He then began searching around for his lost money pouch, following his memory.
Meanwhile.
Lin Youwei and her group of formation masters were meticulously arranging their formations.
After their efforts during this period, they had completed setting up formations within a one-mile radius around the Wasteland Realm's transmission portal.
These included containment formations, killing formations, illusion formations...
In short.
They had deployed every formation technique they had mastered in their lives.
Therefore, this area had become extremely dangerous, with deadly traps at every step.
With these arrangements in place, they didn't need to worry even if experts from the Wasteland Realm came to repair the transmission formation, because they would have to break through all these formations first.
"Phew!"
Looking at the fruits of their labor, Lin Youwei let out a satisfied breath.
However, in the next moment.
Her expression suddenly changed.
The other experts who noticed something amiss quickly gathered around her, all looking in the same direction.
Because in that direction, one of the outermost formations had been broken.
No.
It wasn't exactly broken, more accurately, it had vanished!
Before it could even activate, it had simply disappeared due to some mysterious force.
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked toward Lin Youwei.
Lin Youwei frowned without speaking, but the gravity of the situation was clearly visible on her face.
"Could there have been a problem with how we set up the formation?" one person couldn't help but ask.
"Impossible. We tested each formation after setting it up, and that particular formation was tested just yesterday. It was definitely working properly," another person said.
Then, someone else suggested: "Could it be a beast that wandered in?"
Lin Youwei shook her head immediately.
"If it were a beast, the formation wouldn't have simply disappeared - it would have activated."
Everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere.
Suddenly became mysterious.
No one could figure out the reason.
In any case.
This suddenly vanishing formation was truly baffling.
Just as Lin Youwei was about to lead everyone to investigate, they were horrified to discover that another formation, closer than the previous one, met the same fate.
It simply vanished into thin air.
This left them shocked.
As masters of formation techniques, they had never encountered anything like this before.
They couldn't comprehend what could possibly cause their grand formations to vanish into thin air.
But before they could recover.
Another wave hit.
Formations began disappearing one after another, as if some unknown entity was destroying them systematically.
And its movement pattern was from far to near.
Meaning, the formations that disappeared first were on the outer edges, while the ones vanishing now were much closer to them.
Moments later.
After several more formations vanished into thin air, Lin Youwei's pupils contracted as she said word by word: "That thing is approaching us."
As soon as Lin Youwei spoke, the atmosphere became even more tense.
Their hearts in their throats, barely daring to breathe, they stared intently in that direction.
Finally.
After waiting second by second, they saw a gray-robed figure enter their view.
They also witnessed how the formations simply vanished wherever his feet touched.
"It's him!"
Lin Youwei's eyes suddenly widened.
Her beautiful face showed shock as she drew in a sharp breath.
Although she knew this person was powerful, possibly a True Immortal of the twentieth level, she still couldn't remain calm.
These were their carefully arranged formations after all.
She could accept them being broken, but this was too simple!
They just disappeared as he walked by?
Was this the terrifying power of a twentieth-level True Immortal?
Moreover, what they really wanted to know was why this person was destroying their painstakingly arranged formations?
Was he an enemy of the Formation Realm?
If so, this would be a serious matter!
But now she didn't know what to do, so she could only take it step by step, quickly ordering everyone to hide within the formations.
After all, Chen Xianxuan had instructed them to avoid contact until they could determine this person's identity, especially in a situation like this.
However.
What Lin Youwei and others hadn't expected was that the person suddenly looked in their direction and started walking straight toward them.
"Have we been discovered?" one person asked.
"That's impossible. Though we're not far, there are so many formations between us. He might be able to break our formations, but he couldn't possibly detect our presence through countless formations before even touching them, right?" another person said.
Hearing this, everyone agreed.
They let out a sigh of relief.
It must be just a coincidence.
Lin Youwei thought so too - if their formations had absolutely no effect against this person, it would be too devastating.
However.
Just as they were all convinced that Yi Feng had only coincidentally looked their way, they suddenly heard his voice.
"Hey, you bunch of sneaks, what are you hiding for?"
"I saw you skulking around last time too, get out here now!"
