"How did you find him?" Zi Xunyi asked.
"I didn't know Senior Ying Mingchao before. I stumbled upon him by chance after entering the Beiyang Mountain Range."
"If you're going to save him, you'll have to take me along. Only I know how to find him," Chu Feng said.
"Let's go." As Zi Xunyi spoke, she swept her wide sleeve, and a vast wave of formation energy erupted from within her body.
That formation energy swept up both Chu Feng and Li Yue'er within it.
"This formation energy." At that moment, Chu Feng's expression shifted.
He now understood who had broken through Li Yue'er's Concealing Immortal Formation.
It had to be this Zi Xunyi, for she was a Snake-pattern Immortal-cloak Spirit World Master.
Moreover, Chu Feng could sense that although they were both Snake-pattern Immortal-cloak Spirit World Masters, Zi Xunyi's formation energy was far more powerful than theirs.
Zi Xunyi was likely just a single step away from becoming a Dragon-pattern Immortal-cloak Spirit World Master. Her Mental Power had already grown incredibly formidable.
Zi Xunyi had used her formation energy to envelop Chu Feng and Li Yue'er in order to protect them.
She was preparing to take them away from this place.
Boom—
However, at that very moment, the Blood Scale Monster Clan's Chief swept his sleeve as well. In the next instant, a vast torrent of martial power spread outward like sunlight blazing across the sky, quickly sealing off the entire area.
"You want to trap me here like Master did — leave me until I die?" Zi Xunyi cast her cold gaze toward the Blood Scale Monster Clan's Chief.
"I have no intention of trapping you. If you want to leave, I'll let you go."
"However, this kid's words are nothing more than empty claims. Why should you trust him? What if it's a trap?"
"And even if what he says is true — if Ying Mingchao is still alive — do you really intend to go save him?" the Blood Scale Monster Clan's Chief asked.
"I must go save him," Zi Xunyi said.
"He hurt you enough back then. Why would you still do this?" the Blood Scale Monster Clan's Chief asked.
"He never hurt me. I'm the one who owes him," Zi Xunyi said.
"And what about me? What about us? Today is supposed to be our wedding day!" The Blood Scale Monster Clan's Chief grew agitated.
At the same time, the emotions of the surrounding Blood Scale Monster Clan members also flared up.
They had finally realized who Ying Mingchao was, and the mere existence of this person filled them with displeasure.
"Zhen Ping, you've been very good to me. But I'm sorry — I truly don't love you." After saying this, Zi Xunyi took Chu Feng and Li Yue'er and charged straight toward the martial power barrier sealing the area.
Aooo—
But in the very next moment, a bizarre sound emanated from the barrier.
At the same time, the golden martial power began to transform.
Within the golden radiance, a blood-red glow emerged, and from that glow, scale after scale materialized.
At that moment, Chu Feng could feel that the martial power sealing the heavens and earth had become impossibly hard — truly indestructible.
Most importantly, this was a martial power formation, not a formation barrier.
That meant even formation techniques would be useless against it. Only raw martial power could break through.
But even just looking at it, one could tell how formidable it was.
This was an extraordinarily powerful martial power formation. Breaking through it would be incredibly difficult.
"Is this the Blood Scale Monster Clan's bloodline power?"
Chu Feng speculated to himself. In his eyes, this was no ordinary martial technique, nor was it some secret art.
This had to be a method that incorporated bloodline power — something unique to the members of the Blood Scale Monster Clan.
Much like the Thunder Armor, Thunder Wings, and Thunder Runes wielded by Heavenly Bloodline possessors.
"What if I don't let you leave?" The Blood Scale Monster Clan's Chief spoke, his tone now turning menacing.
"That's right — she can't be allowed to leave."
Just then, two women rose from the crowd and landed on the high platform.
They were dressed in lavish attire, and their cultivation was not weak — both at the peak of the Martial Ancestor realm.
Furthermore, their appearances were strikingly young, though Chu Feng could tell at a glance that they were absolutely no younger than Zi Xunyi.
Their youthful beauty was nothing more than a facade created through special techniques. And they were not human at all — they were two female members of the Blood Scale Monster Clan.
