"Currently, the most numerous beings in the Martial Holy Land are humans. If the Ancient Fierce Beasts were released, humans would suffer the greatest number of deaths."
"The Ancient Spirits could have simply stood by and watched, or they could have retreated immediately upon learning that the Dark Hall was here. But they didn't."
"Sprites like that—you want me to abandon them? I truly cannot." At these words, Chu Feng glanced at Princess Miaomiao, who was vigorously ringing the bell, and said, "Asking me to abandon Miaomiao? I can do that even less."
"In that case, let this Queen go out. Although my strength is far inferior to yours, I can still be of some use," the Queen said.
"Your Majesty, the one thing I absolutely cannot do is let you be placed in danger. In a situation like this, you want me to let you out? Do you think that's possible?" Chu Feng said.
"Hey, hey, hey! If you die, I won't be able to survive either. Don't forget that I'm sealed inside your body—you and I live and die together."
"By putting yourself in danger, you're putting this Queen in danger too. So stop talking nonsense and hurry up and let me out," the Queen said.
"That won't work either." Chu Feng decisively refused. In truth, there was one thing he hadn't told her—he already had a way to ensure that, at the critical moment, he could die while allowing the Queen to survive.
However, he could not tell the Queen about this method. Otherwise, he feared that given her temperament, she would blame him.
…
The army of Ancient Spirits pressed onward, advancing from the outside inward, herding all of the Ancient Fierce Beasts deep into the Blood Devouring Killing Formation.
But they weren't done yet. They continued to advance, intending to firmly seal the Ancient Fierce Beasts inside. That way, they would have a method to slaughter every last one of them.
Not a single Ancient Fierce Beast had managed to escape.
No matter how powerful their cultivation, the Ancient Fierce Beasts could only turn and flee in terror when faced with the Spirits' encirclement.
The Ancient Spirits not only didn't feel weary—instead, their fighting spirit only grew stronger. They were fired up, brimming with motivation, fighting at full power.
"Eggy, something feels off." However, just as the Ancient Spirits were celebrating and preparing to slaughter all of the Ancient Fierce Beasts in one fell swoop, Chu Feng felt a growing sense of unease.
"Something is definitely wrong. The Dark Hall clearly came prepared—how could they just let the Ancient Spirits control the Ancient Fierce Beasts without making a move?" the Queen also sensed that something was amiss.
After all, since the Ancient Spirits had made their move, the Ancient Fierce Beasts couldn't even put up resistance, and not a single member of the Dark Hall had been seen anywhere. Naturally, the battle had turned into a one-sided affair.
But all of these signs pointed to something wrong. No matter how you looked at it, this victory had come far too easily.
And it was precisely that ease that made one uneasy.
In truth, Chu Feng knew that it wasn't just him and Eggy who sensed something was amiss—many of the Ancient Spirits' experts felt the same.
This could be seen from the way they looked around warily, unable to truly smile despite victory being within reach.
But even though they sensed danger, what could they do? Other than continuing with the plan, they had no other choice.
Swish swish swish swish swish—
But just then, several massive chains suddenly materialized out of thin air, streaking across the sky like enormous dragons.
Each chain was ten meters thick, stretching from earth to sky. They filled every direction, densely packed, and as they intertwined, they formed a dragnet that trapped even the Ancient Spirits inside.
Clang clang clang clang clang—
Boom boom boom boom boom—
Sensing the danger, the Ancient Spirits began launching attacks against the chains. But no matter what level of expert, no matter what technique they employed, none could budge the chains in the slightest.
Those chains were simply indestructible.
"Quick, break out! We can't be trapped in here!"
Seeing the situation grow dire, the Ancient Spirits' experts began to...
