"Hehe..."
But just then, a cold laugh rang out.
It was none other than Jie Tian, standing right before Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, this isn't your territory either."
"Do you really think you can control everything?"
Jie Tian turned his head to look at Chu Feng, his eyes brimming with provocation.
This made Chu Feng sense that something was wrong.
Perhaps the hostage he thought he'd secured wasn't so simple after all.
Hummm— Sure enough, a teleportation force appeared on Jie Tian.
Seeing this, a strange suction force emanated from Chu Feng—the Guardian Nightmare.
But the moment the Guardian Nightmare made contact with Jie Tian, he vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Ling Mouzi.
"Old bastard Jie Tianran really spared no expense on you, did he?"
Chu Feng looked toward Jie Tian.
If it had been a simple guardian formation, Chu Feng could have broken it with the Guardian Nightmare. But since it hadn't been broken, it was clear this was no ordinary guardian formation.
And this teleportation formation was quite remarkable—otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to let Jie Tian escape even after Chu Feng had already noticed something was off.
As for Jie Tian, the bloody wounds Chu Feng had carved into his body were still there.
He wasn't in a hurry to treat them, nor did his expression twist in pain. Instead, he coldly stared at Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, leave."
"While you still can," Jie Tian said to Chu Feng.
"What do you mean?" Chu Feng asked.
"You're absolutely right."
"This isn't my Seven Realms Sacred Palace's territory."
"But there's one thing I need you to understand—even if this isn't my Seven Realms Sacred Palace's territory, my Seven Realms Sacred Palace still holds far more say here than you."
"That Death Exemption Medallion of yours can only protect you ten times."
"You've already used up two."
"If we each strike you eight more times, your Death Exemption Medallion will be completely spent."
"What else will you have to stand against us with?" Jie Tian asked.
"Oh?"
"So you're saying that if you don't want me to stay here, I won't even get the chance to challenge this place?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean," Jie Tian said.
"Heh..."
"Do you people even understand this Death Exemption Medallion?"
"This Death Exemption Medallion was made precisely to guard against self-righteous fools like you."
"You don't have the ability to take anything from these ruins, yet you still think you can rule here like kings?"
"Clowns of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace, I, Chu Feng, am taking what's inside these ruins."
"Come and try to stop me if you can."
With that, Chu Feng vanished from where he stood.
"Where did he go?"
"I can't pick up his aura."
"Could he really dare to enter the ruins?"
Watching Chu Feng disappear, the elders of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace panicked.
Setting aside the fact that the methods Chu Feng had displayed far exceeded their understanding of the Death Exemption Medallion— This ruin site held extraordinary significance for them.
Jie Tian had originally been in seclusion, cultivating.
He had suddenly received orders from Jie Tianran to come here and replace Ling Xiao to obtain the Death Exemption Token.
Furthermore, Jie Tianran had ordered Ling Mouzi and the others to assist Jie Tian, using the Death Exemption Token to attempt to break through the ruin site.
The reason Jie Tian was sent— Was precisely because the Death Exemption Token here had a limited number of uses.
Although Jie Tianran had held the elder-generation Death Exemption Token for many years, his own had long since been exhausted.
As for Ling Xiao's, that too had been spent long ago.
Without the Death Exemption Token to pave the way, breaking through these ruins naturally wouldn't be so easy.
That was why Jie Tian, who had been in seclusion, was sent here.
Both Jie Tian and Ling Mouzi knew just how important these ruins were to Jie Tianran.
And now, of all times, Chu Feng had shown up here—naturally, they were extremely uneasy.
