46 Mansion

With his speed compared to the spirit master realm, Jiang Chen moved in the direction in which he sensed his mark. And after many hours, he came close to meeting the person who might become his sect's second elder.

But Jiang Chen was surprised to find that this person was not in the city or town, but here. Right now, he is standing outside the southern thousand-beast forest. It is known as the biggest forest of the divine continent, as it seems to cover not only the spiritual kingdom but many other kingdoms.

This forest is very dangerous as there are third-rank beasts in it, and even there are rumors that fourth-rank beasts also live in the deeper part of the forest, but what is a formation master doing in such a dangerous place? Jiang Chen thought.

He cannot understand, but even then he quickly felt his mark and entered the thousand-beast forest. After moving for an hour and killing some first- and early-second-rank beasts, he reached the place where he felt his mark.

But he was surprised that when he looked there, he did not find anyone or anything that made him confused. "It cannot be; I clearly feel that. He should be here, but why is there no one".

He then started to carefully search this area, and a few moments later he felt something:" There is a formation here that seems to be hiding something".

Jiang Chen was surprised and understood why he could not find him, as he was behind this formation. It piqued his interest, as this formation seemed to be an early third-rank formation. He could forcefully breakthrough, but he used his strong divine sense to find some gaps as the formation seemed to be broken in some places, and taking that chance, he quietly entered the formation.

The moment he entered, the scenery changed, and the hidden mansion, which was before hidden by the formation, could be seen.

The mansion looks quite majestic, and he also sees a person stuck in the formation in front of the entrance of the mansion.

Naturally, that person also noticed that someone else had entered the formation. But he immediately did not ask for help, as he could not be sure what kind of person entered the formation; if that person attacked him now, he would be in trouble.

Jiang Chen looked at the trapped person and thought" finally found him". And he immediately used his eye of insight.

[Xiao Yi]

[Age: 53]

[Martial Art Realm: Innate Late Seventh Layer]

[Physique: none]

[Martial Art Talent: 37]

[Innate Talent: None]

[Bloodline: None]

[Profound Truth/Intent: None]

[Profession: High Second-Rank Formation Master]

[Martial Art Cultivation Technique: Heaven and Earth Tempering Technique]

[Martial Art: Five-Element Formation Sword, Earth Cover, Sprit Suppression Mind Shock, Earth Escape]

Although his martial talent is not the best but still more than enough as he reached the seventh layer of the innate realm in his early fifties, what matters most is the rank of his profession as a formation master, in which he had reached a high second rank. Which is rare in the whole country.

This Xiao Yi is different from Zhong Wenshu, as nobody knows about him as he never showed that he was a formation master, making him unknown; otherwise, many sects or clans will be pestering him. He was quite surprised when he found an unknown, talented formation master in the Star Meteor City.

Frankly, he did not know anything about him or what was needed to win the mind of this formation master. But right now, it looked like he got a chance to make him join his sect, as this Xiao Yi seemed to be stuck in the formation.

Jiang Chen said, looking at Xiao Yi" Senior seemed to be in a difficult situation; does senior need this junior's help".

Xiao Yi was surprised by the words from an unknown junior, thinking, Is that a trap or something else this person is trying to do? But after thinking of his current situation, he cannot do anything as he is really stuck here and breaking the formation is not easy. So some help from this person might resolve his current situation.

"Yes, your help is appreciated. Then if you can attack the corner of the eastern side of the formation and I also attack from inside, the formation will be broken," Xiao Yi said, as he needed another person's help to break this trap formation.

"Alright, senior, let's do it." With that said, Jiang Chen moved to the eastern side of the trap formation, and then both of them attacked at the same time. Because of their attack, the formation broke, and Xiao Yi was finally able to leave it.

"Thanks for your help," Xiao Yi said, as he was really grateful for this youngster's help and had respect for him, as even though this person looked young, he had such strong strength, even stronger than him.

The moment they attacked together, he noticed that the strength of this person reached the half-step spirit master realm, which shocked him a little.

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at the mansion, then looked at Xiao Yi for answers.

Seeing Jiang Chen looking at him, he said," Friend does not seem to know about this mansion; actually, it is the mansion of' the laughing face thief' .

"Laughing face thief, hearing this, Jiang Chen still did not understand anything. Seeing the confused expression of Jiang Chen, Xiao Yi explained that the' laughing face thief' was a famous thief who roamed the world three hundred years ago. He was good in escaping techniques and a third-rank formation master who collected many extraordinary things throughout his life" .

Third-rank formation master but still a thief—what a weird fellow," Jiang Chen thought. So how did he get caught? he asked.

"He actually never got caught, and there are rumors about the extraordinary treasures he left behind," Xiao Yi said.

"So senior, you are saying this mansion is where the 'Laughing Face Thief' left behind all his treasures," Jiang Chen said as he looked towards the mansion.
