Chapter 2590 — The Origin of the Burial Ground (1)

"Why didn't that letter simply explain the situation directly? Why did they have to do it that way?" Chu Feng asked, puzzled.

By "that way," he naturally meant how Kong Yuehua and Kong Xuanlian had threatened him by claiming that Zhao Hong was in their custody.

"After all, Kong Xuanlian and Kong Yuehua are members of the Kong Heavenly Clan. On one hand, they hold grudges against you. On the other hand, they feel they are in the wrong. Their hearts have been in constant torment."

"They wanted to use this matter to test just how much weight your friends truly hold in your heart."

"If you truly value bonds of loyalty that deeply, they might… no longer pursue the grudges between you and the Kong Heavenly Clan," the Guardian Formation Clan's Clan Master said.

"So that's how it is." Chu Feng's expression shifted to one of sudden understanding.

"Don't blame them. They are, after all, members of the Kong Heavenly Clan. I imagine their hearts are more tormented than anyone else's," the Clan Master continued.

"I understand that."

"Senior, could you show me Zhao Hong's current condition?" Chu Feng asked.

"Young Master Chu Feng, look — Zhao Hong's current situation is far from optimistic."

As he spoke, the Guardian Formation Clan's Clan Master produced a rectangular blue crystal of a peculiar nature.

At this moment, within the crystal, a shadowy figure flickered. The figure was not entirely dark — many areas across its body emitted a reddish glow, and the entire silhouette was continuously flickering and wavering.

"The red glow represents injuries, and the flickering means his life is in danger?" Chu Feng asked the Clan Master.

"Young Master Chu Feng is exactly right. Should this shadow vanish, it would mean Zhao Hong has met with a terrible fate," the Clan Master replied.

"Is there any possibility that the treasure within that teleportation formation might not be usable?" Chu Feng asked.

"No. That teleportation treasure will definitely work. I trust in its power, for it was left behind by the lords of the Chu Heavenly Clan," the Clan Master said with absolute certainty.

Chu Feng understood why the Clan Master was so confident. Since it was a treasure passed down from the Chu Heavenly Clan, it should possess extraordinary efficacy within the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.

"There's no time to waste. I'm going in right now." With those words, Chu Feng began heading toward the ruins.

He was truly worried about Zhao Hong's safety.

"Young Master Chu Feng, please wait a moment."

Just then, the Clan Master stopped Chu Feng and said, "Use this as well."

The Guardian Formation Clan's Clan Master drew a box from his Universe Bag.

The box was exquisite and clearly extraordinary — which meant the item inside was something of even greater significance. Otherwise, the Clan Master would not have stored it with such care.

When the box was opened, it revealed a compass.

The compass was quite unusual. Though it appeared solid, Chu Feng could tell at a glance that it was a teleportation formation — and a remarkably powerful one at that. It was a formation that Chu Feng himself was far from capable of crafting.

At the center of the compass was a small, circular disc no larger than a copper coin. It shimmered with golden radiance, yet its texture was incredibly soft, almost as though it were made of water — as if the slightest pressure would crush it.

This small disc was also a teleportation formation.

Even without the Clan Master explaining, Chu Feng already knew its purpose.

This had to be the legendary treasure capable of teleporting from any location.

"Young Master Chu Feng, please extend your palm," the Clan Master said.

Once Chu Feng complied, the Clan Master picked up the small disc and placed it in Chu Feng's hand. He then infused it with the power of his barrier formations and formed a series of hand seals.

Hummm —

The small disc dissolved like water and, in the blink of an eye, merged into the center of Chu Feng's palm.
