"Senior..."
Under the power of the formation, Chu Feng's observational abilities were greatly enhanced, and he naturally noticed the commotion caused by Xia Xingchen.
Though they had interacted before, Chu Feng truly hadn't expected Xia Xingchen to come and lend him support.
After all, this matter was far too dangerous.
"Chu Feng, so you came prepared. I don't know where you found these helpers, but just these two clearly aren't enough to look at."
As Baili Zilin spoke, he cast a contemptuous glance at Chu Feng's auxiliary grand array.
Though streams of martial force were flowing into the auxiliary array, they were not only faint but also sparse.
Filling the array to capacity would take a long time, let alone strengthening its power.
Just then, above Chu Feng and Baili Zilin, it was as though countless stars were plummeting from the sky, blindingly brilliant.
Looking up, martial force pillars of light were erupting from every direction of the spectator stands.
There were well over a hundred million of them — in sheer numbers, far surpassing even the Prison Sect.
The sight was like a downpour of gathered martial force, crashing down violently!!!
That was the Totem Dragon Clan!!!
At their head stood the Clan Chief of the Totem Dragon Clan.
Alongside him, several of the Nine Banner Dragon Warriors had also arrived.
These figures were far more renowned than Xia Xingchen.
They were truly household names — known to every living soul.
"The Totem Dragon Clan — it's the Totem Dragon Clan!!!"
"So many have come — this is practically their entire force!"
"The Totem Dragon Clan — isn't this tantamount to declaring war on the Seven Realms Holy Land?"
"How deep must their relationship with Chu Feng be for them to go this far?"
When the Totem Dragon Clan's army appeared, the world was stunned.
Even Daoist Star Plucker's expression shifted.
After all, the Totem Dragon Clan's move was a declaration to the world that they stood on Chu Feng's side.
Even if the Seven Realms Holy Land didn't confront the Totem Dragon Clan openly, they would surely resort to underhanded means behind the scenes.
"Clan Chief..."
At that moment, Chu Feng's heart was a tangle of complex emotions.
He had specifically warned them — why had they still come?
Just then, the Totem Dragon Clan Chief looked at Chu Feng with a warm smile.
"Young friend Chu Feng, you specifically notified me not to come because you were afraid of involving us, weren't you?"
"You underestimate my Totem Dragon Clan's resolve to repay a debt of gratitude."
Though the Clan Chief's words carried a tone of reproach, he spoke them with a smile.
"Chu Feng personally notified the Totem Dragon Clan?"
"A debt of gratitude?"
"Could the rumors be true — that the Totem Dragon Clan recovered the Totem Heavenly River thanks to Chu Feng's help?"
"That... does seem to explain things."
The Clan Chief's words drew everyone's attention, and those who grasped the meaning gained a clearer understanding of just how extraordinary the bond between Chu Feng and the Totem Dragon Clan truly was.
With the Totem Dragon Clan joining in, countless names instantly appeared on the outer layer of Chu Feng's auxiliary array.
The interior of the formation was also rapidly filling up — not only did the colors inside grow richer, but a faint radiance began to emerge.
Yet it still fell short of Baili Zilin's auxiliary grand array.
From this alone, it was evident that despite their numerical advantage, the Totem Dragon Clan's overall strength was inferior to the Prison Sect's.
"Did the Clan Chief fail to break through?"
"I hope it wasn't because of me."
Chu Feng felt a twinge of unease. He could sense that the Clan Chief's cultivation remained at the peak of True God — he had most likely failed his seclusion breakthrough.
Fortunately, upon closer observation, the Clan Chief's physical condition appeared excellent.
ROAAARR— Just then, a piercing dragon roar split the air.
Simultaneously, a colossal barrier dragon coiled through the sky.
People initially assumed the Totem Dragon Clan had deployed a special technique.
But upon closer inspection, it was actually a grand barrier formation, crafted by nine figures.
By the time people noticed them, the formation had already been activated. Nine barrier light pillars, shaped like enormous dragons, shot forth from the grand array and merged into the auxiliary array.
As those nine barrier light pillars merged in, the power of Chu Feng's auxiliary array surged dramatically, bringing it closer to Baili Zilin's.
With the formation's power integrated, the identities of those nine were revealed.
"The Totem Nine Dao?"
When the Totem Nine Dao appeared, forget everyone else — even the Totem Dragon Clan Chief and the numerous elders were deeply shocked.
The Totem Nine Dao were those who had once refused the Seven Realms Holy Land.
When it came to the Totem Heavenly River, apart from the Totem Dragon Clan itself, no name rang louder than the Totem Nine Dao.
Though word had spread that the Totem Nine Dao had once issued a Nine Dao Heavenly Decree to protect Chu Feng, no one had expected that Chu Feng's relationship with them had truly reached such a depth.
"Young friend Chu Feng, we of the Totem Nine Dao have come to repay our debt to you."
Daoist Dragon One and Daoist Dragon Two spoke in unison.
"A debt? The illustrious Totem Nine Dao owe Chu Feng a debt?" The crowd was bewildered.
Seeing that the two Daoists appeared perfectly fine, Chu Feng returned their smile.
Back in the Divine Era, Daoist Dragon Two had encountered Jie Tianran, who planted a Gu worm within him. Corrupted and bewildered, Daoist Dragon Two had very nearly killed Daoist Dragon One.
