"Old Master, is the path you're taking reliable this time?" In the dimly lit Underground Palace Passage, Zhu Feng asked Qianjizi. For some reason, ever since they left the perilous circular platform, he felt that this guy had changed a bit!
Qianjizi's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes emitted a strange light. Facing his companion's question, he calmly replied, "If we follow this path, we will definitely find a way out. Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Inside the Storage Ring, the rare Supreme Treasure in the form of a magical stone had elevated his divination abilities to another level. The path he was leading them on was indeed an exit; however, he did not want to divulge more details... He was reluctant to think about what kind of person had been released from that formation's eye!
Seeing Qianjizi's calm demeanor and hearing his words only deepened Zhu Feng's doubts. Perhaps out of concern for his companion's state, he leaned closer and transmitted through Vital Energy, "Old Master, are you really okay? If there's any problem, please don't hide it from me!"
Qianjizi smiled and replied naturally, "Let it go. What could possibly happen? The triggering of that mechanism was an accident; I assure you, there won't be another incident like that!" With such confident words, Zhu Feng still felt worried but ultimately said nothing.
At this moment, Liao Fan and the others also felt their minds settle down. After leaving that perilous situation and navigating several twists and turns without encountering further danger, they began to fully trust the senior from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect before them.
After a while, they reached a fork in the road. This time, Qianjizi showed no hesitation and chose the left path. Everyone quickly followed; it seemed that hope lay ahead!
However, Zhu Feng couldn't shake off his unease and once again transmitted through Vital Energy, "What about Ye Feng? Don't you want to continue looking for that kid?"
"This is our sect's matter; we must first get this group of juniors out safely. Otherwise, you and I won't be at ease either!" Qianjizi replied.
Hearing this, Zhu Feng thought it over but still felt something was off. That sense of unease grew stronger with Qianjizi's calmness!
"Wait! Senior, it seems there are people ahead!" The first to notice the movement ahead was actually Wang Wei. Ever since experiencing so much, his eyes seemed to shine with newfound awareness; he spotted the flickering light of a torch even before Qianjizi did!
The light flashed by like a fleeting shadow; perhaps because Qianjizi and Zhu Feng were engaged in a secret conversation at that moment, they didn't notice! In the dim environment, that fleeting light resembled Ghost Fire, sending chills down their spines!
Qianjizi suddenly stopped in his tracks and furrowed his brow while releasing his powerful perception. Indeed, he sensed some sneaky figures ahead!
"Who could it be?" Zhu Feng's alertness heightened as he moved forward and unleashed his own formidable Martial Saint Realm presence!
"Hard to say. It seems there are forces within this Underground Palace that we cannot imagine!" Qianjizi said with a frown. His divination abilities could at most discern some past references but did not allow him to foresee the movements of different individuals ahead; ultimately, it still relied on perception!
"Senior, it can't be... another trap!" Liao Fan said with lingering fear as he suppressed his trepidation.
Qianjizi made a gesture for silence and exchanged a knowing glance with Zhu Feng. Understanding the cue, Zhu Feng quietly moved forward!
"You all wait here and keep an eye on your surroundings. There might really be someone up to no good! Be careful not to get ambushed!" Qianjizi said, his expression suddenly serious.
Everyone immediately became vigilant, and the atmosphere turned somewhat oppressive.
As Zhu Feng slipped into the darkness, avoiding detection, he concealed his presence so well that even Qianjizi's group could no longer sense him!
"It shouldn't be... According to the signs from that stone, this path is indeed an exit. Could it be that someone has infiltrated?" A fog of uncertainty enveloped Qianjizi's mind once again...
At this moment, Zhu Feng had already distanced himself nearly five hundred meters from them. He tracked the fleeting torchlight's aura, cleverly pursuing the ghostly figure of Fleeting Moment through the remnants left in the air... Yet, the ominous feeling that surged within him only grew stronger and refused to dissipate...
It felt as if danger was right before him!
"Elder, has this guy taken the bait? When do we strike?" In the darkness, Qin Protector, Elder Yang, and several remnants of the Evil Cult, who had learned unique hiding techniques from the demon clan, lurked in a shadowy corner, watching Zhu Feng's every move.
"Fool! What we need to do is not to strike but to separate this guy from that Martial Saint behind him as much as possible. After that, it will depend on how Black Face acts!" Elder Yang replied.
"But if we don't take action against him, he will surely turn back!" Qin Protector expressed his concern.
"I know, but we can’t afford any more sacrifices. How many disciples have died over the years while helping those from the demon clan explore this Underground Palace? This time, I don’t want to engage in any more pointless battles!" Elder Yang sighed.
Qin Protector wanted to say more but was touched by the elder's words and fell silent.
As Zhu Feng ventured deeper into the edge of darkness, this group of Evil Cult members still did not make a move. At this moment, it seemed that Zhu Feng also sensed something and began to retrace his steps!
"Elder, what should we do now?" Some of the disciples from the Evil Cult began to panic. Although they were reluctant to act as pawns for the demon clan, letting a Martial Saint walk away right before them would surely lead to dire consequences when facing Black Face later.
Elder Yang, gritting his teeth, hesitated for a moment! However, at that moment, signs of battle finally erupted from Qianjizi's direction!
"Ha ha ha! Old ghost, I never expected you to actually find me! But it's too late now; you and your trash are about to become my dinner!" From the other end, the evil laughter of Black Face echoed.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng immediately shouted in alarm and attempted to rush back towards his companions. Unfortunately, Elder Yang had already considered the consequences and quickly ordered his subordinates to intercept.
In the darkness, several torches flared up again, resembling Ghost Fire, blocking Zhu Feng's path!
Zhu Feng was taken aback but then laughed loudly, "A bunch of cowardly rats hiding in the dark, dare you come out for a fight?" At the same time, he waved his long robe, and a powerful gust of wind swept through, instantly extinguishing the flames ahead!
"Forget it! Stop him at all costs!" In the darkness, Elder Yang gritted his teeth and shouted. He was the first to take action! With his two frail claws stretched into the air, the Evil Cult's mysterious Supreme Technique was suddenly revealed!
In the air, it seemed as if a transformation occurred; purple Miasma emanated from Elder Yang's claws. This Miasma was a unique secret technique of the Elder of the Poisonous Cult, capable of effectively slowing down enemy attack speed and enhancing Martial Techniques!
At the same time, the Qin Protector and several disciples nearby swallowed a few pills, their strength surging temporarily. With a roar, they charged towards Zhu Feng!
"Peach Blossom Miasma! It's you! You are the remnants of that Evil Cult that haven't been wiped out!" Zhu Feng sensed the source of the purple Miasma and exclaimed in shock. However, he quickly regained composure and commanded urgently, "Purifying Mantra! Activate!"
As soon as he issued the command, a sacred radiance reappeared around him like a circular platform. The radiant barrier perfectly blocked the poisonous purple Miasma. The faces of the charging Qin Protector and others changed dramatically as they murmured in disbelief, "It's actually an Array Master!"
"Damn it! We've run into tough opposition!" Elder Yang never expected to encounter an Array Master at such a cursed place. He deeply understood the power of an Array Master; however, at this moment, he had no choice but to act!
Struggling, he took out a pill from his pocket. This pill was much darker than those consumed by other disciples and had stronger effects. Crafting such power-enhancing pills was a specialty of the Evil Cult; he just didn't expect to be forced to swallow one before even engaging in battle!
Any pill that could temporarily enhance power was precious, but these types of pills generally had one common side effect: once their effects wore off, the aftermath could be quite troublesome!
In front of him, Elder Yang disregarded everything else and fiercely swallowed the pill. At this moment, the Qin Protector and others had already launched their first wave of attacks!
"Sandstorm Strike!" The barren ground erupted into a sandstorm; those powdery particles were unique attack methods of the Evil Cult and were all toxic!
After unleashing this move, the Qin Protector and other disciples also brought forth their own poisonous techniques—eight-legged spiders, centipedes, and similar creatures—all rushing towards Zhu Feng!
"You monsters! Years ago, I failed to eradicate you completely, and now you dare to commit evil again! Watch as I take care of all of you!" Zhu Feng laughed instead of getting angry. After chanting the Purifying Mantra, he quickly released a series of hand seals, and soon, a Great Compassionate Palm descended!
"Boom!" A massive phantom palm, formed from endless sacred light, instantly crushed most of the poisonous creatures on the ground. The powerful shockwave even sent some of the weaker Evil Cult disciples flying. Only the Qin Protector, enhanced by the pills, barely reached the peak of the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm and managed to withstand it!
"Elder! This is impossible! We are no match for them! We should retreat!" In a panic, the Qin Protector shouted loudly.
"Shut up! These self-righteous righteous ones will learn today that whoever wishes for our destruction shall meet their end!" Elder Yang roared ominously, unleashing an aura comparable to a Martial Saint, with the Peach Blossom Miasma around him seeming even denser!
In the dim light, he struck again! As soon as he attacked, countless monstrous serpents emerged! The terrifying fangs were bared, and the air was thick with a venomous scent that was close to death!
"Myriad Serpents Devouring Corpses!" Elder Yang shouted sharply! The narrow passage was instantly filled with those strange monstrous serpents!
Seeing this, Zhu Feng was immediately filled with rage. It seemed that the traps they encountered earlier were also set by these monsters. The humiliation of nearly being killed by that snake wave surged in his heart. He clasped his palms together, revealing a fierce expression, and shouted again: "You beasts, if I do not annihilate you today, I will not be worthy of my title as Array Master!"
As a Martial Saint and Array Master, Zhu Feng's reputation was well-known throughout the Sky Abyss Empire. At this moment, he continuously released the Purifying Mantra and stacked it with the Great Compassionate Palm while facing the suddenly powerful Elder Yang. His hand seals changed rapidly! Soon, he formed an even more astonishing array!
"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder! With my Spiritual Power! I will command and strike down all foes!"
"Crack!" Thunder erupted from the ground, illuminating the passage completely... The surrounding Evil Cult members were all reflected in Zhu Feng's sight as those terrifying serpents turned to dust in the endless Thunder Light!
