"Brother Han Yu, rest assured — I absolutely will not let down this Clone Teleportation Talisman you've given me."
"I will return with Chu Feng's head."
Yuhua Hualong held the Clone Teleportation Talisman and prepared to walk into the pillar of light.
"Brother Hualong, let's not go too far. We just need to give him a taste of his own medicine, so don't kill Chu Feng — just cripple his cultivation. Of course, you should bring him back and make him kneel before Brother Tingyi and personally confess his sins to him," Han Yu said.
"Fine, I'll do as you say." With that, Yuhua Hualong stepped into the pillar of light.
Meanwhile, Han Yu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, casting a provocative glance toward the Ancient Snake Clan elder.
It was as if he were saying, "If I want to deal with Chu Feng, what can you do about it?"
Naturally, the Ancient Snake Clan elder was quite displeased by that look. But at this moment, no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't show it — he could only endure.
……
Yuhua Hualong passed through the pillar of light and re-entered the great mountain.
After entering the mountain, he didn't move around. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the spot, took the Clone Teleportation Talisman from its box, and placed it between his palms.
Hummmm— At first, the Clone Teleportation Talisman blazed with brilliant light, emitting a faint blue glow.
Then, in the next instant, countless streams of blue light shot out from between his palms like fountains.
When the blue light touched the ground, it began to expand, taking on Yuhua Hualong's form.
Not only did these clones possess Yuhua Hualong's appearance and aura — even their clothing was identical. On the surface, each one was indistinguishable from the real Yuhua Hualong. But only Yuhua Hualong himself knew that they were all mere clones.
The clones continued to spray forth from his palms, and in the blink of an eye, over a thousand of them had landed around Yuhua Hualong.
It was said that the Clone Teleportation Talisman created different numbers of clones depending on the user's ability, and these thousand-plus clones were likely Yuhua Hualong's limit.
However, over a thousand clones was more than enough to search for Chu Feng, so a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh— Suddenly, Yuhua Hualong focused his will, and a fierce gust of wind swept through the area. As his robes billowed, every single clone vanished.
The clones hadn't truly disappeared — they had scattered in every direction at tremendous speed.
What Yuhua Hualong planned to do was simple: wait for the rabbit to run into the tree. He would guard every pillar of light. He was certain that as long as the Ancient Snake Clan didn't tamper with anything, he would eventually catch Chu Feng.
……
As for the fact that Yuhua Hualong was lying in wait for him, Chu Feng had absolutely no idea.
Chu Feng had long since thrown himself entirely into comprehending the barrier runes within the Burial Spirit Pond.
He quickly discovered that the best moment to comprehend the barrier runes was the exact instant they merged with one's soul.
Having uncovered this secret, and with Chu Feng's extraordinary powers of comprehension, his progress was tremendous.
It had only been half a day since the eruption began, yet Chu Feng had already found an opportunity to break through to the level of a Dragon Vein-level Robe Spirit World Master.
And he immediately launched his charge toward that realm.
