She was a woman with an ordinary face but an extraordinary figure.
She was the same woman Chu Feng had encountered back at Painter's Mountain.
This woman had some connection to the Alchemy Immortal Sect. She had once accepted benefits from the sect in exchange for trying to kill Chu Feng, only to be defeated and forced to escape using a formation.
Her identity was shrouded in mystery, and the methods she commanded were quite formidable.
But what had left the deepest impression on Chu Feng was a sword in the woman's possession — a sword that could dramatically enhance one's combat power in the world of formations.
It was a true priceless treasure, and Chu Feng had been extremely envious of it.
Back then, the woman had been at the Golden Dragon Divine Robe level.
Yet now, the formation power radiating from her body had already reached the Imperial Dragon Divine Robe level.
Not much time had passed since their parting at Painter's Mountain, yet she had made such tremendous progress.
It was a testament to her terrifying talent.
"So, you're the number one in the talent assessment."
"I was a bit curious before, but I never expected it would turn out to be an old acquaintance," Chu Feng said.
"Whether I'm first in talent or not doesn't matter. What matters is that you're too flashy."
"You… have become less clever than you were at Painter's Mountain," the woman said to Chu Feng, sarcastically implying that he had been careless and fallen into her formation.
"This formation was made specifically for me? You really do hold a grudge," Chu Feng sighed.
Back at Painter's Mountain, Chu Feng and the woman had clashed, and in the end, Chu Feng had used a pre-arranged formation to trap her.
Now, the woman had come here ahead of time to set up her own formation, all in order to return the favor from that encounter.
Moreover, this formation was suffused with formation power at the Sacred Dragon Divine Robe level.
Upon closer inspection, one could see it was mostly for show — not nearly as powerful as it appeared at first glance.
But its might had indeed reached the level of a Sacred Dragon Divine Robe.
Yet how could a woman at the Imperial Dragon Divine Robe level create a formation of that caliber?
Based on Chu Feng's observations, he deduced that she must have used a supreme treasure as the foundation, and then spent a considerable amount of time, in order to create such a formation.
"Rest assured, I have no intention of killing you. All you need to do is tell me who your Master is," the woman said.
"You really are curious, aren't you?" Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh.
When the woman had first met Chu Feng, she truly hadn't put any stock in him — she had simply wanted to kill him.
But after clashing with him and realizing he was no ordinary fighter, she had been endlessly pestering Chu Feng, asking him who his Master was.
She had shown tremendous curiosity about his background.
It was just that Chu Feng had never told her.
"Chu Feng, you're a Spirit World Master — you can sense how powerful this formation is. I crafted it using a supreme treasure as its foundation."
"Now that you're trapped, don't even think about playing any tricks."
"If you refuse to talk, don't blame me for using the formation's power to torture you," the woman said.
"Fine, I suppose I could tell you."
"How about this — ladies first. You tell me where you come from, and then I'll answer," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, are you the type who won't cry until he sees the coffin?"
As she spoke, the woman began forming hand seals, and within the formation, bolts of thunder surged, ready to strike Chu Feng at any moment.
Thunder of this magnitude, if it struck down directly, would reduce any ordinary Golden Dragon Divine Robe cultivator to ash in an instant.
Yet facing such a terrifying onslaught, Chu Feng was utterly unfazed. "I, Chu Feng, am thick-skinned and tough — torture doesn't scare me. If you won't tell me, then I won't tell you either."
"You…"
"Hmph!!~"
Faced with such a Chu Feng, the woman was quite helpless. After a soft snort, she swept her sleeve dismissively.
"Fine, keep your mouth shut. I don't want to know that badly."
"As for that Sacred level treasure — I'm taking it no matter what. You can just stay right here."
