Qin Yi held his nose and cursed, "Damn it, this really hurts. Who's the bastard responsible for this?"
After a while, the pain gradually subsided, and Qin Yi touched his nose, realizing blood was coming out.
He reached out to feel around and immediately sensed something blocking his hand, like a layer of transparent glass.
"Watch me break through you."
He punched forward, filled with vigor, and purple light swept out.
Boom!
His punch struck the invisible wall, purple light exploded, sweeping around.
Qin Yi sucked in a breath of cold air, his hand nearly fractured, and he didn't break through the invisible wall before him.
What kind of a ghost place is this?
If he couldn't move forward, then he'd retreat.
Bang!
Qin Yi's back hit another invisible wall.
Damn... both front and back are blocked.
Qin Yi pondered for a moment; the invisible walls in front and behind were more than a meter apart, seemingly forming a passageway.
He tried to walk to the left, holding the little one in one arm and feeling his way forward with the other.
Bang!
Qin Yi's hand collided with something; there was an invisible wall on the left too.
There couldn't be one on the right, could there?
Qin Yi walked to the right, only to be blocked by another invisible wall.
Qin Yi's expression shifted slightly; four invisible walls formed a cage, trapping him inside.
"Hmph, if all four sides are blocked, it can't stop me from going upwards."
With those words, Qin Yi lightly tapped his toes and leaped into the air.
But in the next second, his face turned very uncomfortable.
I jump... I jump... I jump jump...
Qin Yi frowned, realizing there was a spatial restriction here, and he couldn't fly up.
He was completely trapped in this cage now.
There's a restriction in the air and invisible walls on all sides?
Qin Yi's eyes flashed slightly; this was the power of an array formation.
Someone had set up an array formation here.
Qin Yi sat down, the little one in his arms whimpered.
"Are you hungry?"
Qin Yi opened a box of milk for the little one to drink and lowered his head in contemplation, searching the knowledge provided by the Eye of Righteous and Evil to identify what kind of array this was.
"Void Array?" Qin Yi raised his head suddenly and blurted out.
He understood now; it was a Void Array, also known as a Mirror Array, like mirrors in a maze that reflect and confuse, making it impossible to find the exit.
This array wasn't particularly sophisticated, but the person who set it up had high cultivation. Since the mirrors couldn't be broken, he could only find the exit. There is no perfect array under the sky; every array has a flaw, which is the Array Eye. Destroying the Array Eye would cause the Great Array to collapse on its own.
"Playing with arrays in front of me, watch me break your Void Array."
Qin Yi picked up the little one, who was still not full and unhappily yipped in Qin Yi's arms.
Qin Yi first dug a pit in the hardened stony ground, then started collecting the scattered bones from the ground.
Suddenly, Qin Yi let out a soft "hmm", picking up a token from the ground and glancing at it... it was a Secret Realm Holy Order.
This kind of Holy Order is only held by members of the Five Great Families; residents within the heavenly abyss wouldn't make such useless things.
It seems this person belonged to the Five Great Families, though it's unclear when they entered here. Like him, they stumbled upon this place by chance and ended up trapped to death.
"Although none of you from the Five Great Families are any good, the dead take precedence. I forgive you."
Qin Yi eventually buried the person.
"Strange, where's the weapon?" Qin Yi searched around but couldn't find the person's weapon.
Could it have rusted away? Or perhaps this person didn't use weapons?
Qin Yi didn't dwell deeply on it and simply walked out of one passageway but hadn't left the Great Array.
The Void Array is like countless "hui" characters nested together; each has four corners, with the exit hidden in one of the corners.
Qin Yi wasn't sure if the direction he was heading was correct until he reached one corner. If not, he'd have to look for the next corner.
"Daddy is amazing, right?"
Qin Yi held the little one in his arms proudly. He treated the little one in his arms as his own child, practicing for when he becomes a father.
As he spoke, just as before, he stepped into another pattern on the ground with his peculiar footsteps, then copied the process, leaving only one line pointing the way.
It took about an hour, but he finally reached a corner.
"Hahaha... I've gotten out."
Qin Yi was lucky; the exit was hidden in this corner.
Along the way, he encountered seven or eight corpses, all trapped to death in this Void Array.
Even though these people were from the Five Great Families, Qin Yi remembered the priority of the dead and buried them to let them rest in peace.
Calming down, Qin Yi looked ahead; there was a dim corridor with stone walls on either side. Every five meters there was an oil lamp on the stone wall, its flame green and ghostly.
Earlier, when Qin Yi discovered the Void Array, he confirmed in his heart that when he returned home and saw Xiaobing and the others killed, it was likely because he was caught in the Illusion Array, that everything was fake.
But seeing this faint and seemingly endless stone path with green-flamed oil lamps, he began to feel uneasy.
Could it be that everything is real? This place is ghostly; could it really be the underworld?
