"Is that the Sacred Treasure of the Mysterious Cave Masters?"
"But he clearly has the advantage — why would he suddenly use a Sacred Treasure to protect himself?"
The crowd was confused, unable to understand Chu Feng's behavior.
They couldn't understand why Chu Feng, who had already suppressed Lu Yingzhuo — to the point where Lu Yingzhuo couldn't even fight back — would suddenly deploy a treasure to shield himself.
Could it be that Lu Yingzhuo was about to use an even more powerful technique, and Chu Feng had seen through it?
In their confusion, the crowd could only guess wildly.
"Wait... could that be... the legendary Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman?!"
But suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out from the crowd — it was Grandmaster Feng You.
At first, Grandmaster Feng You wore an expression of utter disbelief, his gaze sweeping across the steel fortress, examining it carefully.
And after that scrutiny, he quickly reached a conclusion.
He had confirmed his guess.
"It really is... it really is the legendary Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman."
"Who would have thought that the Supreme Elder of the All Heavens Gate had obtained such a thing."
"And to use something this precious just like that?"
"This... sigh, what a waste, truly a pity."
Grandmaster Feng You's face was filled with regret, even a trace of anguish — as though something he deeply cherished had just vanished.
"Grandmaster, are you saying that's a treasure used by the elder of the All Heavens Gate, not something belonging to the Mysterious Cave Masters?"
At that moment, quite a few people turned to Grandmaster Feng You with questions.
After all, his words seemed to paint an entirely different picture from what they had imagined.
"That's no simple treasure — it's something extraordinarily precious."
Grandmaster Feng You then proceeded to explain to everyone the origin of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman.
And after hearing his words, the crowd finally understood what the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman truly was.
It turned out that the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman dated back to the ancient era and had been discovered within ancient ruins.
When it was first found, there had been a considerable number of these talismans.
But because each Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman could only be used once, their numbers had dwindled over time.
By the present day, they were virtually extinct, making them invaluable. It was no longer merely a treasure — for many Spirit World Masters and martial cultivators, it had become a prized collectible.
Many people who came into possession of an Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman would never actually use it, instead keeping it carefully stored away.
Of course, the power of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman was nothing to scoff at.
Not only could it trap an opponent, but it also possessed the power to obliterate them entirely.
Moreover, due to the unique nature of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman, once it was thrown, it was guaranteed to hit its target — the opponent had no way of evading it whatsoever.
Even if the opponent's strength surpassed the power of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman, they could not escape its tracking.
The only recourse was to wait for the talisman to materialize and then use one's own power to break through it from the inside.
Though the strength of Ancient Beast-Trapping Talismans varied from one to another, in Grandmaster Feng You's assessment, this particular talisman was powerful enough to kill a first-rank Supreme. Even a second-rank Supreme trapped within would very likely meet a grim end.
"Grandmaster, then in your opinion — does the Mysterious Cave Master who's been trapped still have any chance of escaping?"
Someone asked out of curiosity.
"The power of the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman is far too great."
"There's a very good reason it's so precious."
"In this old man's view, unless he possesses the cultivation of a third-rank Supreme, even a second-rank Supreme would have great difficulty escaping." Grandmaster Feng You said.
And when those words left his mouth, the crowd erupted into jubilation.
After all, they all stood on the side of the six great powers, hoping to see the Mysterious Cave Master receive the punishment he deserved.
"Whew —"
But compared to the wild celebration outside, Lu Yingzhuo — who had just used the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman — let out a long, deep breath of relief.
Truthfully, after fighting Chu Feng, he had developed a deep sense of wariness toward him.
The reason he had hesitated over whether to use the Ancient Beast-Trapping Talisman in the first place was precisely because it was far too precious.
