"Young friend
"Besides, the instructions clearly stated that everyone must participate. How can you break it alone?"
"Young friend Chu Feng, stop this. We know you're brave, but if we haven't figured out the method to break the formation, charging in recklessly would just be throwing your life away."
At that moment, the crowd began frantically trying to dissuade Chu Feng.
However, Chu Feng paid no heed to their pleas. Instead, with a hint of mockery in his tone, he asked, "Are you afraid I'll waste your time and end up getting every one of you killed here?"
"Young friend Chu Feng, how could you think that? We're clearly doing this for your own good."
"Exactly… don't overthink it."
Naturally, no one would admit to what Chu Feng had said, but the guilty expressions on some of their faces betrayed them.
In truth, they were simply afraid that Chu Feng would waste the time they had to break the formation.
"Clan Chief, Elder Dantai, Chief Shi Xue, do any of you have a method to break the formation?" Chu Feng asked.
"Ah… this formation is far too complex. I truly cannot see through it."
All three shook their heads.
"I may be lacking in ability, but by observing the techniques of a Spirit World Master, I can make out certain things."
"This formation is extraordinarily intricate. Rallying everyone to break it together isn't feasible — it would take far too much time. One hour would be nowhere near enough."
"Therefore, I can only break it by myself," Chu Feng said.
"Young friend Chu Feng, you are a Sacred Cloak Spirit World Master after all, and I do trust you. However, the instructions did indeed state that everyone present must participate," Dantai Yinjian said.
He feared death, just like everyone else. Most importantly, he didn't want to die for nothing.
"The instructions aren't wrong, but from my perspective, everyone who entered this place has already placed their lives on the line here. Doesn't that count as participating?" Chu Feng countered.
"Ah…"
"When you put it that way, it isn't without reason." Dantai Yinjian nodded as he stroked his beard.
"Chu Feng, go ahead. I believe in you."
At that moment, a voice rang out — it was
"Young Master Chu Feng, I believe in you too."
Right after, the
They had previously followed Chu Feng's instructions and taken shelter inside the Starfall Sacred Stone. But after Chu Feng used his power to notify them, they received the news and immediately rushed to the clearing. Upon learning what had happened, they resolutely chose to follow Chu Feng into this place.
It wasn't that they weren't afraid of death. It was just that, compared to the others, they understood all too well that their survival up to this point had been entirely thanks to Chu Feng saving them.
So they trusted Chu Feng, and that was why they chose to enter.
After these outsiders had all voiced their support, the rest of the crowd followed suit.
The clansmen of the
Even the
Under these circumstances, the remaining people — whether they truly believed in Chu Feng or simply had no other choice — could only lend their support as well.
And so, everyone agreed: Chu Feng would attempt to break the formation alone.
