"Brother Han Yu, rest assured. I will absolutely not disappoint you with this Clone Teleportation Talisman."
"I will return with Chu Feng's head."
Yuwen Hualong held the Clone Teleportation Talisman and prepared to walk toward the light pillar.
"Brother Hualong, let's not go too far. We only need to give him a taste of his own medicine, so don't kill Chu Feng — just cripple his cultivation."
"Of course, you should bring him back and make him kneel before Brother Tingyi, so he can personally confess his crimes," Han Yu said.
"All right, I'll listen to you." With that, Yuwen Hualong stepped into the light pillar.
Meanwhile, Han Yu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, casting a provocative glance at the Ancient Snake Clan elder.
It was as if he were saying, "If I want to deal with Chu Feng, what can you do about it?"
The Ancient Snake Clan elder was naturally displeased with such a look, but at this moment, no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't show it. He had no choice but to endure.
…
Yuwen Hualong passed through the light pillar and entered the great mountain once again.
After entering the mountain, he didn't move around. Instead, he sat down cross-legged right where he was and took the Clone Teleportation Talisman out of its box, placing it between his palms.
Hummm—
At first, the Clone Teleportation Talisman blazed with radiant light, emanating a faint blue glow.
In the next instant, countless streams of blue light shot out from between his palms like a fountain.
Once those blue luminous bodies hit the ground, they began to expand, taking on the form of Yuwen Hualong.
They not only matched Yuwen Hualong's appearance and aura — even his clothing was identical.
On the surface, these were indistinguishable from Yuwen Hualong himself, with no difference from the real thing. But only Yuwen Hualong knew that these were all clones.
Clones continued to pour out from his palms, and in the blink of an eye, over a thousand clones had landed in the area surrounding Yuwen Hualong.
It was said that the Clone Teleportation Talisman produced different numbers of clones depending on the user's abilities, and these thousand-plus clones were likely Yuwen Hualong's limit.
However, over a thousand clones were more than sufficient for searching out Chu Feng, so his eyes shone with a look of satisfaction.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Suddenly, Yuwen Hualong willed it, and a fierce gust of wind swept through the area. As his robes billowed, all of the clones vanished.
They hadn't truly disappeared — they had sprinted off in every direction at tremendous speed.
What Yuwen Hualong intended to do was simple: wait for the rabbit to come to him. He would guard every single light pillar. He was confident that as long as the Ancient Snake Clan didn't pull any tricks, he was certain to catch Chu Feng.
…
Yuwen Hualong was lying in wait for him, but Chu Feng had no idea about any of it.
Chu Feng had long since devoted himself entirely to comprehending the barrier runes within the Burial Spirit Pool.
And he quickly discovered that the best moment for comprehending those barrier runes was the instant they merged into one's soul.
Having uncovered this secret, with Chu Feng's comprehension ability, his gains were naturally abundant.
Only half a day had passed since the eruption began, yet Chu Feng had already found an opportunity to break through to the Dragon Mark Royal-cloak Spirit World Master level.
