"That goes without saying. Someone must be secretly protecting them. Otherwise, how could the three of them possibly reach this place with their level of strength?"
"As for you, there's no need to keep hiding. Everyone who came here is after the treasure left behind by Grandmaster Kaihong. Why not reveal yourself already?" However, before Chu Feng and the other two could answer, the mother of the Four Emperors of the Sealed Realm spoke up in a peculiar, mocking tone.
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The three of us came here without any senior protecting us," Chu Feng said.
"Ha! How ridiculous." The mother of the Four Emperors of the Sealed Realm burst into laughter.
"What's so ridiculous about it?" Chu Feng asked.
"What's so ridiculous? You're bragging, and you expect me not to laugh?" the mother of the Four Emperors of the Sealed Realm said.
"Heh…" At that moment, Chu Feng also let out a faint chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" the mother of the Four Emperors of the Sealed Realm asked sharply.
"I'm laughing because you'd do better not to mock me and instead worry about your own formation. It's about to be destroyed," Chu Feng said.
"What did you say? You're saying the formation I set up is about to be destroyed? What utter nonsense. What shameless boasting."
"My formation may be a deciphering formation, but it is Grandmaster Kaihong's legacy after all. Its defensive power is equally impeccable." The mother of the Four Emperors of the Sealed Realm spoke with great confidence.
Boom—
Right at that moment, a beam of light shot out from within the guardian grand formation. The light shimmered with a golden radiance, irresistible and unstoppable, like a peerless sword cutting through all opposition. It struck the formation set up by the mother of the Four Emperors of the Sealed Realm head-on and shattered it to pieces.
"How can this be?"
Seeing this scene, everyone present was thoroughly shocked.
The guardian grand formation was powerful, but it should have possessed only defensive capabilities. Yet just now, the guardian grand formation had actually unleashed its power of its own accord to destroy the mother of the Four Emperors' formation. This meant that the guardian grand formation also possessed extremely potent offensive capabilities.
But what puzzled people the most was why the guardian grand formation had chosen to destroy the mother of the Four Emperors' formation — and how had Chu Feng been able to predict it?
"Young friend Chu Feng, did you somehow discover beforehand that the guardian grand formation would destroy the formation set up by the Sacred Maiden of the Sealed Realm?" Amid their confusion, someone asked Chu Feng.
"To tell you the truth, esteemed seniors, I have cultivated a special observational technique. Though this guardian grand formation is powerful, every one of its secrets has already been laid bare before my eyes."
"Therefore, I can not only see through what this guardian grand formation is about to do, but I can also unravel it and open that coffin," Chu Feng said with full confidence.
"Young friend Chu Feng, is that really true?" The moment Chu Feng said this, the eyes of everyone present lit up, as though they had caught sight of hope in the midst of despair.
"Really." A confident smile remained on Chu Feng's face.
Chu Feng was not lying, nor was he boasting.
The reason he had determined that the mother of the Four Emperors' formation was no good was precisely because he had seen through the guardian grand formation. That was how he knew the formation she had set up would be unable to breach it.
And since Chu Feng had already seen through the guardian grand formation, he naturally also knew how to unravel it.
But there was one thing that even Chu Feng couldn't quite figure out.
He had seen through the guardian grand formation without using his Heavenly Eyes — through nothing more than ordinary observation.
However, Zhao Hong and Wang Qiang were unable to see what Chu Feng saw.
In other words, under the same normal observation, the guardian grand formation appeared flawless to ordinary people, but to Chu Feng, it was riddled with openings.
It was as though the guardian grand formation had deliberately revealed its weaknesses to Chu Feng alone.
"What utter nonsense! You little brat — you're nothing but an insect-pattern Immortal-cloak Spirit World Master, barely having crossed the threshold of that rank, and yet you dare to spout such shameless words here?" the mother of the Four Emperors of the Sealed Realm mocked.
"Sacred Maiden of the Sealed Realm, everything that young friend Chu Feng has said since arriving here has come true."
"He told you that you couldn't break the guardian grand formation, and he was right."
"He told you that the formation you set up would be destroyed, and he was right again."
"That alone is proof that young friend Chu Feng truly has real skill — unlike you, who does nothing but boast." Elder Duan Chunchang of the Sword-Wielding Immortal Sect spoke in a cutting tone.
"That's right, that's right. Exactly."
……
At the same time, many others present took the opportunity to needle the mother of the Four Emperors of the Sealed Realm.
"Fine. You people — fine. Very good."
