Chapter 6701: What Do You Mean?
Boom boom boom!
Destructive shockwaves shook the palace.
The palace shouldn’t have been able to withstand such damage even if it was a treasure, but it was currently bound to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s formation. The sealing formation constructed by Jie Tianran’s clone was very powerful, making the palace nigh indestructible.
Despite two rank six Heavenly Gods fighting each other to the death inside the palace, those outside didn’t notice anything amiss at all.
Xiahou Jue fought with extreme aggression.
Donfang Hansong, due to his injuries, was forced to remain on the defensive. It looked like he wouldn’t last long at this rate.
However, the first one to succumb was not Dongfang Hansong but the formation he had constructed. Following the destruction of that formation, Chu Feng’s consciousness was transported back to his main body, inside the sealing formation.
He saw the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s warships gathered around him, and its world spiritists were channeling the formation. At the same time, they were looking at him with greedy eyes.
They were waiting for Chu Feng’s barrier to unravel, so that they could kill him.
What Chu Feng had just gone through and witnessed felt like a dream, but he knew that it did happen for real. His heart was still pounding hard. The revelation that his grandfather was the Netherworld Master came as a huge shock. He needed time to process what was going on.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you speaking?” Eggy asked anxiously.
Chu Feng understood that Eggy didn’t share his senses when his consciousness was torn away from his body earlier, so he quickly told her what had just happened.
“What? Your grandfather is the Netherworld Master? That makes you the Netherworld Sect’s young master! This is ridiculous, though it is exciting at the same time.” Eggy was very excited to hear the news as if she had just gotten the firsthand scoop.
“Doesn’t that make Baili Xukong and the others the traitors of the sect? I’m surprised that Xiahou Jue put his life on the line for you, but I feel like Baili Xukong is worse than Dongfang Hansong. I doubt he’ll help you even after learning that your grandfather is the Netherworld Master.
“Haa, why are those old things from the neutral faction so useless? They were done in by Dongfang Hansong at this critical moment and were even labeled as traitors. Despite being the Netherworld Sect’s young master, there’s no one left to help you anymore.” Eggy sighed.
She figured that since Dongfang Hansong could turn against Chu Feng for Chen Hui’s sake, there was no reason for Baili Xukong to be unable to do the same for Baili Zilin’s sake. The only allies Chu Feng had in the Netherworld Sect were the six neutral elders, but they were dead.
So, it was unlikely that Chu Feng’s identity as the Netherworld Sect’s young master would make a difference to the situation.
Chu Feng thought the same as well. While he was surprised that his grandfather was the Netherworld Master, he knew that he would have to overcome this hurdle by himself.
The first problem was his inability to breach the sealing formation.
Jie Tianran’s clone had fused itself into the sealing formation, using its energy to power it. Granted that it was swiftly losing energy, Chu Feng’s cultivation was also quickly depleting as the blue aura around him dissipated.
His cultivation was currently at rank five Heavenly God level. By the time Jie Tianran’s clone fully disintegrated, his cultivation would have further receded to rank four Heavenly God level. He wouldn’t even be able to deal with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Saint-tier elders by then, let alone Baili Xukong.
So, he came up with a plan.
He would make it seem like the Heaven Protection Shield Spirit was weakening.
The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists, guarded against his escape attempt, would channel their everything into the formation. That would hasten the depletion of not just their spirit power but that of Jie Tianran’s clone as well.
If Jie Tianran’s spirit power vanished while Chu Feng’s blue aura was still at rank five Heavenly God, he could at least break free from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s encirclement.
He shared the plan with Eggy before weakening the Heaven Protection Shield Spirit’s energy.
“Look! Chu Feng’s protective means are weakening. His treasure must be reaching his limit!”
The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists had been paying close attention to Chu Feng, so they immediately noticed the anomaly.
“What’s there to celebrate? Do you have the power to stop me if I want to leave?” Chu Feng sneered as he pulled out a talisman paper.
“He’s planning to escape using a teleportation talisman paper! Reinforce the formation that prevents teleportation. Channel your everything into the sealing formation right now! Anyone who is found slacking off will be executed on the spot!” the Saint-tier elders and the Shadow Corps’ leaders hurriedly ordered.
Even Jie Tianran was traumatized from all the setbacks he had suffered in Chu Feng’s hands; they wouldn’t dare to let their guard down with Chu Feng as their opponent. They had to keep Chu Feng here no matter the cost.
Little did they know that Chu Feng was exploiting that mentality of theirs.
...
Martial power continued to ripple inside the palace, but the battle had concluded.
Xiahou Jue lay weakly at the entrance.
The blood-red aura shrouding him had become extremely weak. His current body was even smaller than his previous body, and he resembled an old man. There were sparks of blood-red aura on his tattered soul, but there was little doubt that he would die the moment those sparks faded.
However, he had no fear in the face of death. Instead, he looked at the approaching Dongfang Hansong with a gleeful smile.
“It’s too late, Dongfang Hansong. I gave Chen Hui my treasure. You can’t catch up to him now. Once Lord Baili is here...”
Halfway through Xiahou Jue’s words, he suddenly stiffened up.
Dongfang Hansong had taken out a fiery-red treasure. He channeled the treasure, and it converted into a fiery-red aura that seeped into his palm. He then placed his palm on Xiahou Jue’s dantian, causing the fiery-red aura to seep into the latter’s body.
Xiahou Jue felt no pain whatsoever. Instead, the blood-red aura shrouding him blazed with greater fervor.
“What do you mean by this?” Xiahou Ju was confused.
Dongfang Hansong was extending his life instead of killing him... but Xiahou Jue knew that he was as good as a dead man now. What was the point of this gesture?
Does he want to take me as a hostage to threaten Baili Xukong? That is ridiculous.
