"A guardian formation? What guardian formation are you talking about?"
Chu Feng hurriedly asked.
"Hm? You don't know?"
When Chu Feng said this, the red-robed young man grew somewhat surprised.
"I truly don't know. Could you tell me about it?" Chu Feng asked.
"How interesting."
"Actually, we only just sensed that guardian formation moments ago, when you were about to be killed."
"Do you not know who left this guardian formation behind?" the red-robed young man asked.
"I… do not know."
Chu Feng shook his head, then asked, "Does this guardian formation activate whenever my life is in danger?"
"It was about to activate just now, but the Lord of the Dark Night's cultivation had regressed too far, so he didn't notice," the red-robed young man said.
"What would happen if it activated?" Chu Feng asked again.
"What would happen? Everything in this world — perhaps even this world itself — would be reduced to ashes. You might be the only exception."
"Seems you really know absolutely nothing about yourself," the red-robed young man's tone shifted to one of amusement by the end.
And at that moment, Chu Feng's heart was shaken to its core.
In truth, Chu Feng was not entirely ignorant of this guardian formation.
Long ago, the Blood Devouring Demon Lord had once mentioned that there was a formation inside Chu Feng's body.
Back then, the Blood Devouring Demon Lord had even asked Chu Feng whether there was a martial cultivator near the True God realm by his side.
After Chu Feng answered no, the Blood Devouring Demon Lord had simply laughed.
He told Chu Feng not to bother guessing — when the time was right, the truth would reveal itself.
But even then, Chu Feng had considered it. If there truly was a formation inside his body, it wouldn't have appeared out of nowhere — someone had to have placed it there.
So Chu Feng had thought of the most likely candidate: his own father, Chu Xuanxuan.
However, that was merely speculation. In the incidents that followed, whenever Chu Feng faced mortal danger, he had always resolved things on his own — he had never detected any formation within him.
But now, judging by what this red-robed young man was saying, not only was there a guardian formation inside his body, it was an extraordinarily powerful one.
It possessed the power to destroy an entire world. Otherwise, it wouldn't have made even these two unfathomably deep red-robed figures feel wary.
But did his body truly contain such a guardian formation?
Though the red-robed man didn't seem to be joking, Chu Feng had no way to confirm it — he truly had no awareness of this guardian formation whatsoever.
So Chu Feng asked, "Are you certain that there really is such a guardian formation inside my body?"
Chu Feng desperately wanted confirmation, because if it were true, it would be no small matter for him.
"I have no reason to lie to you."
After saying this, the red-robed young man turned his head, preparing to leave.
"Wait, please."
Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly spoke again. "May I ask — do you know anyone from the Prison Sect?"
Chu Feng asked this because he was curious about their identity.
Although their attire was actually quite different from the Prison Sect's, Chu Feng still wanted to confirm whether they had any connection to it.
Not for any other reason — simply because they were genuinely powerful.
When it came to existences this formidable, Chu Feng wanted to understand them.
"The Prison Sect?"
"Heh…"
The red-robed young man did not answer. Instead, he let out a contemptuous laugh, and after that laugh, both red-robed figures vanished without a trace.
And it was precisely that contemptuous laugh that gave Chu Feng his answer.
They had no connection to the Prison Sect.
If anything, the red-robed man actually looked down on the Prison Sect.
But compared to these powerful and mysterious red-robed figures, what Chu Feng found himself more curious about was what the man had just said.
Was it really true that he possessed such a powerful guardian formation inside his body?
RUMBLE—
But before Chu Feng could dwell on it any further, the great hall began to tremble violently. Not only that — countless cracks spread across the walls.
It was clear that the hall was on the verge of collapse.
