This simple display of power made Chu Feng secretly sigh in admiration — Elder Wolong was truly formidable.
His guess had been correct. The power of the Blackwater Six Finger Pool that he wielded was indeed enough to suppress Guardian Qi, but it was far from enough to contend with Elder Wolong.
Of course, it wasn't that the Blackwater Six Finger Pool was weak — rather, the portion of its power that Chu Feng could control was insufficient. Still… this was already the absolute limit of what he could wield.
After all, he had merely received benefits from this place; he was not the founding ancestor himself.
After severing the light rope, Li Fengxian threw out another rope, binding Guardian Qi up. He dragged the man over to his side — he truly intended to bring Guardian Qi before the Sect Master for judgment.
"Chu Feng, seal the barrier."
Li Fengxian issued the order to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng naturally dared not be negligent. He quickly formed the Technique, sealing off the Blackwater Six Finger Pool.
"You — come with me as well."
Before Chu Feng could even answer, Li Fengxian had spoken. Chu Feng felt a force envelop him, and before he could resist, he was carried along as Li Fengxian moved at tremendous speed.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng found himself with Guardian Qi, Li Fengxian, Nangong Chunyue, and the others at one of the Forbidden Lands of the Wolong Martial Sect.
This was the territory of the Wolong Martial Sect's Sect Master.
"Wait here. Don't wander off."
Li Fengxian deposited Chu Feng in a lakeside pavilion, then departed with Nangong Chunyue, taking Guardian Qi along.
Yet barely had the three of them left when Li Fengxian returned.
But when he came back, he was alone.
"Chu Feng, can you truly control the power of the Blackwater Six Finger Pool at will?" Li Fengxian asked.
"I won't hide it from you, sir. Within the bounds of the Blackwater Six Finger Pool, I can indeed do so," Chu Feng replied.
"Tell me exactly what happened. Leave nothing out," Li Fengxian demanded.
And so Chu Feng recounted the whole affair to Li Fengxian in detail.
The truth was, after entering the depths of the seventh pool of the Blackwater Six Finger Pool, Chu Feng had gone through a series of trials. It was by resolving those trials that he had obtained the power to control the Blackwater Six Finger Pool.
The black patterns on Chu Feng's body that radiated the aura of the Blackwater Six Finger Pool were the key to his control over it.
However, when Chu Feng had tried to return and deal with Guardian Qi, he had not made it back to the Blackwater Six Finger Pool. Instead, he had entered the Fierce Beast Prison Realm.
Inside the Fierce Beast Prison Realm, the black patterns had spiraled out of control, emanating a poison curse that sought to claim Chu Feng's life.
That was why Chu Feng had been so confused at the time.
But confusion or not, Chu Feng had to resolve the crisis.
To preserve his life, Chu Feng was forced to decipher the contents inscribed on the stone stele within the Fierce Beast Prison Realm.
Although he eventually stabilized the poison curse within the black patterns, the power of those patterns could not be utilized by him.
Only when Chu Feng activated the Slaughter Baptism would the power of the black patterns truly become available to him.
But Chu Feng was eager to prove himself. He knew full well that if the power of the Blackwater Six Finger Pool were to serve him, it would cause a tremendous sensation.
Moreover, once he activated it, Chu Feng would also stand to gain great benefits.
That was why he had activated the Slaughter Baptism.
And after Chu Feng had activated the Slaughter Baptism, broken through the illusion, and returned to the Blackwater Six Finger Pool, he had discovered that he could indeed channel the power of the Blackwater Six Finger Pool through the black patterns on his body.
Chu Feng could also sense that although Guardian Qi was powerful, he should be able to suppress the man with the power he had harnessed from the Blackwater Six Finger Pool.
The reason he had not struck directly at Guardian Qi was that Chu Feng needed witnesses.
That was why he had deliberately lured so many people to the Blackwater Six Finger Pool afterward.
Furthermore, it was only after Li Fengxian arrived that he brought out the Refinement Robe that Guardian Qi had tampered with.
All of this was as a precaution against the unexpected.
"Hsss—"
Hearing Chu Feng's account, even Li Fengxian drew in a sharp breath.
For a figure of his stature, this was a truth that even he found difficult to take in all at once.
