Sizzle— Suddenly, lightning runes and a suit of thunder armor manifested simultaneously.
Moreover, beneath Zuoqiu Youyu's feet, three-colored lightning appeared.
It was a movement martial technique at the level of a Forbidden Martial Skill.
Zuoqiu Youyu unleashed his full power, hurtling through the air at breakneck speed.
The direction he fled was not the same one Chu Feng and Zi Ling had taken.
He had no ulterior motive — he simply wanted to shake off the First of the Sleeping Dragon.
Wham— However, he had barely traveled any distance before a palm landed on his shoulder.
In the next instant, he was slammed straight into the ground.
"Why did you suddenly run off? Do you have no manners?"
The one who had cut him off was, of course, the First of the Sleeping Dragon.
"I have no grudge against you. Why are you targeting me like this?"
There was actually a hint of grievance on the First of the Sleeping Dragon's face as he asked this.
"Heh heh."
But who could have predicted that the First of the Sleeping Dragon would simply chuckle before asking: "Would you like to meet True Yuan Supreme before that Chu Feng does?"
The First of the Sleeping Dragon asked.
"You… what do you mean?" Zuoqiu Youyu asked.
"If you want, I can help you," the First of the Sleeping Dragon said.
…
The formation covering True Yuan's Lonely Mountain was not only powerful but also exceedingly complex.
Reaching the summit was no easy task, but the climbing paths were intricate and numerous — each one led to the summit, though at varying speeds.
Naturally, the difficulty of each path differed as well.
Chu Feng used his Heavenly Eyes to quickly identify a path up the mountain.
He knew that finding Duan Liufeng in this kind of environment would be extraordinarily difficult.
So he chose to ascend quickly, planning to reach the summit and then explain the whole situation to True Yuan Supreme.
True Yuan Supreme would surely have the means to locate Duan Liufeng and rescue him.
After all, even this formation had been set by his hand.
But even having found a path, reaching the summit was far from simple.
Ahead on the climbing path, an invisible barrier had appeared.
This barrier was peculiar — it was a sort of optical illusion. You couldn't touch it, and it wouldn't physically obstruct your advance.
For those who couldn't see through it, simply walking forward would cause them to miss their chance to ascend.
But if one stood here, discerned the method to break it, and shattered the barrier, one could continue along the path toward the summit.
For most people, this barrier would naturally pose a considerable challenge.
But for Chu Feng, it was a piece of cake.
Chu Feng effortlessly broke through the barrier.
However, once the barrier dissolved, what appeared before his eyes was a formation gate.
Chu Feng and Zi Ling passed through the formation gate and found themselves in a plaza.
The plaza was not particularly large, and within it were numerous formation entrances.
But there was only a single formation exit.
