"Sir, please, whatever you do, don't hurt my disciple. Name your conditions — I'll agree to anything."
Young Master Lang's Master could see that Chu Feng was a ruthless man, so even his tone of voice had softened considerably.
This also showed that he did place considerable importance on Young Master Lang as a disciple.
"If you don't want me hurting your disciple, then come here and we can talk face to face. I'll be waiting right here. But you'd better come alone — no tricks. Otherwise, this guardian formation of yours won't be enough to keep your disciple alive."
Chu Feng said.
Chu Feng already suspected that Young Master Lang's Master was the Old Cat.
He wanted to lure the man over so he could use Young Master Lang as leverage to force the Old Cat to reveal Xue Ji's whereabouts.
Of course, if Young Master Lang's Master turned out not to be the Old Cat, Chu Feng figured that with Young Master Lang as his trump card, he could still extricate himself safely.
"Brat, where exactly are you? Give me the precise location."
Young Master Lang's Master asked Young Master Lang.
And Young Master Lang provided his Master with the exact coordinates of their location.
"Fine. I hope you keep your word. Three days from now, I will come to you alone."
Young Master Lang's Master said.
"Alright, three days it is. But if you don't show up in three days, then be prepared to collect your disciple's corpse."
Chu Feng said.
Once the agreement was made, the guardian formation retreated back into Young Master Lang's body, and Young Master Lang's Master's projection naturally vanished as well.
Chu Feng estimated that the power of this guardian formation was at least at the level of a first-grade Half-God.
The fact that Young Master Lang's Master hadn't directly activated the guardian formation's power to counter Chu Feng definitely had its reasons.
There were no more than three possibilities.
First, he wasn't certain of Chu Feng's strength. If the guardian formation couldn't eliminate Chu Feng, then his disciple would certainly die.
Second, if the guardian formation was fully activated, Young Master Lang himself would also suffer collateral damage.
As for the third possibility, it was that this guardian formation could only protect Young Master Lang and simply didn't possess the power to attack others.
But regardless of the reason, this guardian formation was something Chu Feng had to overcome.
With this guardian formation in place, Chu Feng couldn't truly harm Young Master Lang.
So he had to find a way to break it.
Theoretically, a formation set up by a Divine-grade Spirit World Master was something a Dragon Transformation Realm ninth-level cultivator couldn't possibly break.
But Chu Feng was no longer the same person he had once been, and that was all thanks to the inheritance left behind by Ancestor Yue Ling.
Although he hadn't fully comprehended that inheritance, he had grasped the majority of it. His mastery of barrier arts was now worlds apart from before.
Given enough time, Chu Feng believed he might be able to unravel this guardian formation.
"Spare us, Lord! Spare us, please!"
"We were blind and foolish — please, Lord, don't hold a grudge against lowly people like us. Spare our lives!"
It was the two grandmasters.
Having witnessed so many from the Nine Heavens Pavilion being cut down by Chu Feng, these two grandmasters recalled what they had said to Chu Feng earlier and realized they were in grave danger.
But seeing that Chu Feng paid them no attention, and having no idea where Chu Feng actually was, they turned their gazes toward Yue Ling.
"Miss, please, we beg you, show mercy and ask that Lord to let us go!"
Squelch—
Squelch—
But before Yue Ling could even answer, the swords embedded in their bodies sliced them to pieces.
They were all dead.
"Mm—"
