Yan Ji and Xiang Zhilan had no idea that three months earlier, Ning Cheng had already completely deduced the exit of the grand array here. As long as he had enough materials and resources to break the array, he could leave at any time. At this moment, he was not deducing how to get out, but rather how the array was set up so that he could completely destroy it.
With his current level of array formation, let alone the arrays set up by Xiang Zhilan, he could even consciously circumvent fourth or fifth-level arrays. No one could know how many simulated arrays he had set up in his sea of consciousness over three years.
Ning Cheng was indeed influenced by the array; if he were truly in a completely clear-headed state, he would never do such a foolish thing. The moment he found the array's gate, he would look for a way to leave immediately—why would he waste time trying to completely break the array?
