Chapter 2896

They didn’t have to wait long. In just half an hour, the six people present suddenly sensed a strange and powerfulsmell flying towards them. Wu Kuangyi and Hua Yulu frowned slightly, while Yang Tai looked over there with a happy expression on his face.

A moment later, a grizzled-haired half-old man arrived in front of them and stood in the air, nodding slightly to them.

“Brother Gong！” Yang Tai immediately cupped his fists and greeted warmly.

“Sorry to have kept Brother Yang waiting.” The old man surnamed Gong replied with a smile, obviously also familiar with Yang Tai.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. We just got together not long ago.” Yang Tai chuckled. In fact, this was true. They had been waiting for Yang Kai here for several days, and it was only when Yang Kai arrived that they truly gathered together.

Turning around, he said to Wu Kuangyi and the others, “This is the person I’ve been waiting for. Brother Wu, do you know who he is？”

Wu Kuangyi frowned tightly. He took a look at him and recalled what Yang Tai had said before, and vaguely had a guess: You are surnamed Gong. Could it be that you have some relationship with the Gong family in Tianhe Valley?

As soon as these words came out, Hua Yulu’s eyes also lit up, and she looked at the old man surnamed Gong with great interest.

If this half-old man was really from the Gong family, it would indeed be a great help.

Yang Tai chuckled and said, “Brother Wu really has extensive knowledge. Brother Gong is indeed from the Gong family in Tianhe Valley.

Wu Kuangyi said coldly “The reputation of the Gong family in Tianhe Valley is far and wide. Although I am ignorant, I have also heard of it.” He was still a little angry about Yang Tai’s previous actions and felt that Yang Tai had Youdaoplaceholder0 the agreement of the three of them. He looked up at the half-old man and said, “What’s your name?”

The old man surnamed Gong smiled slightly： “Gong Yue！”

“Gong Yue…” Wu Kuangyi pondered for a moment, suddenly his expression changed, and he clasped his fists and said, “So it’s the former head of the Gong family. I’m really impolite!”

He had obviously also heard of Gong Yue’s name and knew his background. He didn’t dare to be negligent and gave the other party the respect he deserved.

Gong Yue smiled and waved his hand and said: “I’m just a idle old man now, walking around when I have nothing to do. There’s no need to be like this.

Yang Tai said, “A few days ago, I went to the Gong family in Tianhe Valley to ask about the problem of the forbidden array. Coincidentally, Brother Gong just left seclusion. After seeing this forbidden array, Brother Gong liked it very much, so he wanted to come and take a look together. It’s really hard for this old man to refuse Brother Gong’s invitation, so there is such a scene today. This old man is here to apologize to everyone first. Brother Wu, don’t be angry.”

Wu Kuangyi said with a cold face, “It’s nothing. Brother Yang is overthinking.”

Gong Yue said, “It’s Gong who came uninvited. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Brother Yang has no choice. Of course, Gong is just interested in that ancient forbidden array and wants to see it with his own eyes. If he can participate in Youdaoplaceholder0 it, that would be better. However, if you think there is anything inappropriate, then it’s okay for Gong to turn around and go home.”

The Gong family in Tianhe Valley, although not a top-notch force, is also extremely good. And its reputation is related to the way of arrays, because this family specializes in the study of arrays. There are many array masters in the family. Many sects in the Southern Region has to invite the people of the Gong family to come out and assist when to arrange arrays.

Hua Yulu also wanted to go to the Gong family to ask about the problem of the forbidden array of that ancient cave before, but it was just a thought and she didn’t really go.”

Now it seems that there is someone else who has the same idea as her, and that is Yang Tai. And it seems that Yang Tai is still somewhat familiar with this Gong Yue, so he can talk.”

The people of the Gong family are obsessed with formations, especially the lost ancient strange formations. Suddenly learning about such a prohibited formation, it is understandable that Gong Yue would come uninvited out of interest.

After figuring this out, everyone present immediately knew why Yang Tai had said those words before. If it was Gong Yue, then it would indeed be of great help to their treasure hunt this time. This person was the previous head of the Gong family in Tianhe Valley. His attainments in the way of formations were superb, and few people in the world could match him. If they could get his help, cracking that ancient formation should not be a problem.

Wu Kuangyi pondered for a long time, with the corners of his eyes aiming at Hua Yulu, secretly communicating with sound transmission.

He didn’t hide it, so everyone could see it clearly and guessed what they were talking about.

After a while, Wu Kuangyi said： “May I ask the old head of the Gong family, did you come here only for that ancient formation？ Presumably you also know what we are going to do. If we get any benefits in that ancient cave…”

Gong Yue immediately said： “Formations are the great way, the only one, and the eternal for me！”

This answer was enough. There are three thousand great ways between heaven and earth. Gong Yue pursues the way of formations. Even if other things are more precious, I’m afraid they are not as rare as an ancient strange formation.

Yang Tai chuckled and said, “Brother Gong just wants to take a look at that formation and participate in cracking it. He doesn’t have any other demands. Of course, if everyone feels it’s inappropriate, as Brother Gong just said, he can turn around and go home without forcing anyone. Well, the prerequisite is that among us, someone can crack that formation. Otherwise, we will surely return empty-handed.”

He and Wu Kuangyi, Hua Yulu, and the other two had been preparing for half a year. It wasn’t just to seek a reliable helper. During this half year, they must have made a lot of preparations for that formation.

Hua Yulu originally wanted to go to the Gong Family in Tianhe Valley to ask for advice, but a few months ago, Yang Kai had taken on the matter of the formation, so Hua Yulu didn’t go to Tianhe Valley.

And on Wu Kuangyi’s side, the man with a cold expression that he invited obviously also had some research on formations. Because at this moment, Wu Kuangyi was looking at him, as if seeking his opinion.

The man named Fang Zhuo remained silent for a long time and gently nodded.

Wu Kuangyi understood and said, “Since everyone has no objections, then please ask Old Master Gong to accompany us. This trip will also rely on Old Master Gong.”

“It’s easy to say. This old man will surely do his best.” Gong Yue stroked his beard with a smile.

Yang Kai took a step forward at this moment and said, “Are you really Old Master Gong？ Can you prove your identity？”

Once the words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, and Wu Kuangyi seemed to be jolted awake as well.

The reason he trusted the other party’s claim to be Gong Yue was, firstly, because he had heard of Gong Yue and knew that he was the former head of the Gong family. Secondly, Yang Tai’s words had given him a preconceived notion, making him firmly believe it.

Now that he was reminded by Yang Kai, he suddenly became alert.

He had never seen Gong Yue before, so naturally he didn’t know what Gong Yue looked like. The person in front of him might really be Gong Yue, or perhaps… it was also possible that he wasn’t. If he was really the former head of the Gong family, he could be trusted to some extent. But if the other party was an impostor, then they had to be careful.

Thinking of this, Wu Kuangyi leisurely cast a glance at Yang Tai.

Yang Tai still had a smiling expression. He turned his head and looked at Yang Kai, saying, This little brother really loves to crack jokes. Who would dare to impersonate Gong’s name? This question is inappropriate.”

“If you don’t understand something, you should ask clearly. What’s inappropriate about it？” Yang Kai also turned his head and looked at him, a smile curving up at the corner of his mouth.

Yang Tai furrowed his brows and said, “I, Yang, guarantee with my own name that Gong is Gong, the former head of the Gong family in Tianhe Valley.”

Yang Kai smiled but didn’t speak. Yang Tai seemed to know that his guarantee held no weight. Before this, he and Yang Kai hadn’t even met, so how could he guarantee anything？ And seeing that Wu Kuangyi seemed to be made a bit suspicious, he immediately said with a bitter face, “Oh, what should we do？ How about going to the Heavenly River Valley to verify first？”

This was obviously an impossible thing. The Heavenly River Valley was far from here. It would take at least two months for a round trip. Who had that much time to waste? His proposal was equivalent to nothing.

The more Yang Tai said this, the more suspicious Wu Kuangyi became. His eyes kept turning back and forth between Yang Tai and Gong Yue, as if trying to see some clue. But to his disappointment, Yang Tai had no suspicious points. Although Gong Yue was questioned, he was still calm and graceful, showing the demeanor of a great family.

This made him wonder if this Yang Jiu was being too careful.

Gong Yue said, “Although I have the token of the Gong family on me, I surely even if I take it out, it won’t be of any use. Since this little brother has doubts, then Gong will naturally prove myself. But how should I prove it? Does the little brother have a suitable method?

Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “Since it concerns the formation, then it can be proved with the formation. Which of you has research on the formation？”

When he said this, the crowd vaguely understood what he meant.

Wu Kuangyi immediately looked towards Fang Zhuo.

Although Fang Zhuo is taciturn, his mind is extremely delicate. He immediately understood Yang Kai’s thoughts and took a step forward. Without saying a word, he took out several formation flags, changed the magic formula with both hands, and threw the formation flags into the void and disappeared.

His movements were smooth and natural, and he really had some research on the way of the formation, and even had extraordinary attainments.

A smile remained on Gong Yue’s face, as if he had guessed Fang Zhuo’s plan and let him do it.

Under Fang Zhuo’s actions, a large area of the void suddenly became distorted. After he inserted the last formation flag into the corresponding position, the place where Gong Yue was located suddenly changed, and then the whole person disappeared.

The divine thoughts of the crowd explored over, and only felt that there was a formation blocking there, and the naked eye could not see the slightest bit.

“Oh?” So Brother Fang Zhuo is also proficient in the way of array formation? Yang Tai showed a surprised look.

Fang Zhuo was stingy with words: “Have a little understanding.”

Immediately he carried his hands on his back and squinted at his formation.

This was obviously a trapping formation. Although it didn’t have much lethality, it could trap people in a certain position and make them unable to move.

If Gong Yue, who was trapped in the formation, was really the previous head of the Gong family, then it shouldn’t be too difficult to break it. But if he was an impostor, he would definitely not have the corresponding formation level.

This kind of test is simple and clear. Although it can’t completely determine Gong Yue’s identity, it can at least eliminate everyone’s doubts about him.

For a while, everyone held their breath and focused on the formation, wanting to know what the final result would be.
