Cheng Yu hid in a hidden corner with a look of shame on his face and almost made a mistake.

After the woman closed the window, Cheng Yu quietly left the courtyard.

The backyard is so big, it is not easy to find the house where the king lives.

"It seems that we need to find a servant to ask." Cheng Yu then searched several places, but could not find any trace of the foreign king.

This backyard is not just one courtyard, it is layered upon layer, and the layout is very complex.

Even after entering the courtyard, Cheng Yu was careful to avoid the patrolling guards.

However, Cheng Yu would not go to the guards to inquire about the situation, otherwise it would be like poking a hornet's nest.

Cheng Yu was careful and hiding in the backyard, and finally saw a maid walking in the yard carrying fruit.

Seeing this opportunity, Cheng Yu looked around and found that there was indeed no one else. He immediately captured the maid into the Fairy and Demon Tower, but she was not placed on the same floor as the others.

"Tell me, which courtyard does the king live in?" A phantom of Cheng Yu appeared in front of the woman.

"You...you...who are you?" The woman looked at the man in front of her, suddenly frightened and frightened, and she couldn't even care about the strange environment around her.

"I'm asking you now, not you asking me." Cheng Yu said coldly.

"I...I...I don't know." The woman was obviously frightened by Cheng Yu.

Coupled with the dim environment she saw around her at this time, she was even more frightened.

People are always afraid of the unknown, not to mention that she is just an ordinary woman, and she is more afraid of this kind of thing than a monk.

"Do you know where this place is?" Cheng Yu looked at him.

"No...I don't know." The woman covered her face and sobbed, her whole body trembling.

"Then let me tell you, if you don't answer my questions honestly, this will be your burial place." Cheng Yu would not let her go just because she was a weak woman.

"Please, don't kill me. I'm just a maid and don't know anything." the maid said.

"Although you are a maid, it is impossible that you don't know where the king lives. As long as you answer my question, I guarantee that you will live a long life." Cheng Yu said.

"Are you really not going to kill me?" the maid said fearfully.

"You should know that I'm just here to see your king, not you. As long as you tell me where the king is, I naturally don't have to take your life." Cheng Yu said.

"Then...then I tell you, you must not kill me." The maid said tremblingly.

"Say it!"

"The king is in the middle courtyard," the maid said.

"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" Cheng Yu stared into the other person's eyes.

"No, no, I would never dare to deceive you!" the maid said fearfully.

Although it is difficult to tell from the maid's expression whether her words are true or false, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Although the eyes looking at her are a little evasive, they are definitely not the kind of guilt that worries about being exposed because of lying, but

It's pure fear.

What's more, Cheng Yu has interrogated so many people, and in this Immortal Demon Tower, even those who are in the Tribulation Stage who are countless times stronger than her can't escape, let alone those who can't do anything.

Just an ordinary maid.

So Cheng Yu believed that she was telling the truth.

"You stay here for now. When I finish the matter, I will let you out and give you your freedom!" After Cheng Yu said that, he disappeared in an instant.

The maid looked at the dim space where she was the only one left, and the runes of different colors were flashing. She was filled with fear, and she huddled up, burying her head between her knees, trembling.

Outside the Fairy and Demon Tower!

Cheng Yu looked around and roughly determined the center of the backyard, so he cautiously and sneakily passed by again.

"Now that you can see the situation outside, tell me, is that the residence of the foreign king?" Cheng Yu's voice suddenly sounded in the dim space.

The maid was startled. When she raised her head, she actually saw what was happening outside.

"Yes! The foreign king lives in that small courtyard." The maid nodded.

"Are you really here?" This small courtyard didn't seem to be more beautiful than those of the ladies, which made Cheng Yu feel a little confused.

"Yes!"

Seeing that the maid was so sure, Cheng Yu somewhat admired the foreign king's scheming.

In his eyes, this small courtyard is very ordinary, even a little shabby.

If the maid hadn't said that this was the residence of the foreign king, he would never have thought that the foreign king who controlled such a huge foreign dynasty would live in such a small courtyard.

However, it is precisely because this small courtyard looks so ordinary, and it is not the deepest part of the backyard, but is in a very conspicuous central location, which will create an illusion for intruders.

As the saying goes, the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is.

"You can't go there again, or you will die!" Just when Cheng Yu was about to approach the small courtyard, the maid suddenly reminded him.

Although she is just an ordinary person, the maid seems to understand that she is trapped by Cheng Yu. If Cheng Yu dies, she may not survive.

So she struggled again and again and decided to stop Cheng Yu from getting closer.

"Why?" Cheng Yu stopped.

"Every time the Outer King goes into seclusion, he will seal this place. Anyone approaching this place will be in danger of death. Several servants and maids once accidentally approached this place while the Outer King was in seclusion, and were killed by a thunderbolt.

.

Two months ago, the madam gave us instructions. Without their instructions, no one is allowed to come near here. So the foreign king should be in retreat at this time. If you come near this place at this time, you will definitely be struck by lightning.

." The maid explained.

"Is there such a thing?" Cheng Yu suddenly became curious.

This maid is just an ordinary woman. If it wasn't true, she would never say that.

But according to the maid, there should be a formation in this place when the Outer King was in retreat, so that's why someone was struck to death by lightning.

But what surprised him was that he didn't find any formations arranged artificially here.

Now he can be considered a formation master, although he cannot be called a master of formations. But as the saying goes, if you have read 300 Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you don't know how to compose them.

Cheng Yu has studied so many terrifying formations in the Immortal and Demon Tower, and the formations of the old man in Tianzhen are all the essence of the formations. Today, Cheng Yu is no longer the layman he once was.

In addition, after Cheng Yu cracked those formations, he re-arranged and modified the formations outside the Fairy and Demon Tower. Now Cheng Yu's formation attainments can be said to have achieved some success in formations.

Just like the Cheng family's grand formation, although it took Cheng Yu nearly a year to set it up, the power of that formation was absolutely earth-shattering.

There are probably not many people in this world who can arrange such a formation!

This is also true. Generally speaking, if a formation is arranged here, Cheng Yu can basically see it.

But now he has found no traces of anyone's artificial formation here, which means that this formation is either too superb or there is no formation at all.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there is a natural formation here, so Cheng Yu cannot see any traces.

However, Cheng Yu still believed that what the maid said was true.

Therefore, Cheng Yu had to be careful. Even if he did not see the existence of the formation in this place, he would never dare to act rashly until he understood the situation in this place.

If there really is any hidden formation here, his movement will trigger thunder from the sky.

Even if the thunder didn't hurt him that day, it would definitely have alerted the entire Outer Prince's Palace and even the people in the Baiyang Outer Court.

Therefore, this should not be done carelessly!

There was really no problem found, so Cheng Yu had to check other places in this area.

However, this circle is not small, there are several side courtyards, and there are many guards patrolling back and forth.

Cheng Yu carefully checked around the area. When he returned to the starting point, it was already dark.

"This is really strange. He spent so much effort and turned around in such a big circle, but he didn't even notice any problems." Cheng Yu muttered in his heart.

"You really didn't lie to me. There is a thunder here?" Cheng Yu asked the maid in the Fairy and Demon Tower.

"Sir, how dare I lie to you? When the Outer King is in retreat, thunder will really appear if you get close to it!" the maid said with certainty.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Cheng Yu asked.

"This... I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard everyone said so!" the maid paused and said.

Cheng Yu didn't ask any more questions.

Although sometimes, even if you see it with your own eyes, it may not be true. But if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is false.

Again, Cheng Yu didn't want to make too much noise here to attract other people's attention.

If you can enter here quietly, that would definitely be the best.

"Eh?" Just when Cheng Yu once again circled around this area appeared in his mind, Cheng Yu suddenly seemed to think of something.

"Could it be said that the formations produced in this area are not directly arranged with spiritual stones, but these buildings are used?" Cheng Yu once again recalled the buildings in the surrounding small courtyards and side courtyards in his mind.

I suddenly thought.

This is just like in nature, several natural mountains can form a huge natural formation, such as the natural spirit gathering formation.

In such a place, the spiritual energy is usually particularly strong.

In the same way, although these buildings are not natural, they are built by humans according to the corresponding formations. Just like Cheng Yu's thirty-six peaks, he once used the formation of thirty peaks to build a structure on each peak.
