Chapter 2403 — The Most Dangerous Forbidden Ground (1)

The formation was situated at the center of the ancient tower, and eighteen elders sat cross-legged around it.

Among these eighteen elders, seventeen were at the peak of the Half Ancestor realm, and many among them were Spirit World Masters.

The last one — a white-haired woman draped in a white robe, her face covered in wrinkles — possessed an aura comparable to Elder Kong Hui Lian. She was a True Immortal powerhouse.

This person was none other than one of the Supreme Elders of the Kong Heavenly Clan, Kong Yue Hua.

Hummm—

The formation suddenly fluctuated, and every elder present, Kong Yue Hua included, snapped their eyes open.

Seeing the disturbance emanating from the formation, the expressions of everyone shifted. Then, their gazes all converged upon Kong Yue Hua.

"Supreme Elder, someone has intruded into the Sorrowful Calamity Mountain Range!" the elders declared in unison.

"You don't need to tell me — I can see it for myself," Kong Yue Hua replied, remarkably calm compared to the others.

"Then, Elder, what should we do?" someone asked.

"Summon the Clan Chief and all the upper echelons of the clan," Kong Yue Hua said.

"As you command." The moment those words left her mouth, the seventeen Supreme Elders immediately departed from the ancient tower, streaking off in various directions.

Now, within the tower, only Kong Yue Hua remained. She gazed at the formation that continued to emit fluctuations, and her eyes grew ever sharper.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng was still inside that massive mountain, sprinting along the route etched into his mind. He didn't dare stop, because he knew the formation he'd set up wouldn't last much longer. He had to reach his destination before it dissipated.

As he traveled onward, Chu Feng grew increasingly certain that the map left to him by Master Kai Hong was accurate.

Because within this seemingly ordinary mountain, killing formations lurked everywhere. Those formations had no effect on ordinary animals, but the moment a martial cultivator drew near, they would erupt with terrifying destructive force.

Some of the killing formations were so well-hidden that even Chu Feng only realized their existence after the fact — catching on just barely in time.

Fortunately, with the map in his mind, Chu Feng had been following its designated path, which allowed him to avoid all those killing formations.

Otherwise, even as a Snake-trace level Immortal-cloth Spirit World Master equipped with the Heaven's Eye, he would have found it nearly impossible to dodge the killing formations in this place.

This vast mountain was nothing short of a colossal killing ground, hiding destructive power at every turn that Chu Feng could not withstand.

Yet, despite having evaded the killing formations, Chu Feng's brow was tightly furrowed. He was thinking about something.

"Egg, something's not right," Chu Feng said suddenly, his tone grave.

"What is it? What's wrong?" the Queen asked.

"I have a feeling that not only is this mountain packed with killing formations, but there also appears to be an extremely powerful detection formation hidden within it. I… may have already been discovered," Chu Feng said.

"What?! Then what do we do? Will they come in to capture you? Is it still possible to turn back and retreat now?" The Queen grew panicked upon hearing this.

After all, this was no ordinary place — this was the Kong Heavenly Clan, one of the most powerful forces within the Hundred Refinements Mortal World.

The experts here were far too numerous. Even True Immortal powerhouses existed among them, and those capable of annihilating Chu Feng were even more plentiful.

If Chu Feng had truly come here as a mere guest, the Kong Heavenly Clan, out of concern for external pressure, would likely not have dared to lay a hand on him.
