Boom boom boom—
Ripples of devastation surged outward, each one brimming with destructive force.
Under normal circumstances, even if this grand hall were a supreme treasure, it couldn't withstand martial ripples of this magnitude.
However, the hall was now bound to the sealing formation of the Seven Realms Holy Temple. The power of Jie Tianran's clone in particular made the sealing formation extraordinarily powerful, which in turn rendered the hall indestructible.
Even now, two beings who had elevated their cultivation to the Sixth Stage of Heavenly God were locked in a life-and-death battle within.
But the outside world had no idea what was happening inside the hall.
Inside, Xiahou Jue's offensive was ferocious. Dongfang Hansong, already wounded, could only defend passively.
It looked as though he wouldn't hold on much longer.
But the first thing to collapse wasn't Dongfang Hansong — it was the formation he had set up to trap Chu Feng. As that formation crumbled, Chu Feng's consciousness was involuntarily wrenched free from the hall and returned to his main body.
Now, Chu Feng's vision was once again focused within the sealing formation.
A single glance revealed that beyond the formation, the vast starry sky was filled with the Seven Realms Holy Temple's hovering warships. Banners fluttered atop the vessels as the Seven Realms Holy Temple's army drove the formation forward. Every one of them stared fixedly at Chu Feng, their eyes as fierce as wolves and tigers — all they were waiting for was the formation to break so they could cut Chu Feng down right then and there.
For Chu Feng, everything that had just happened in the hall felt like a dream.
But Chu Feng knew it wasn't a dream — it had really happened.
And so his heart was still reeling.
The revelation that his grandfather was the master of the Prison Sect had hit him hard. He would need some time to digest it, to sort through everything again.
"Egg! Egg!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Before he could even think, Egg's voice rang out ceaselessly by his ear, and her tone was extremely urgent.
Chu Feng understood immediately — his consciousness had just detached from his body, so Egg hadn't been able to share his sight and hearing. She didn't know Chu Feng's consciousness had left, but she'd been talking to him the whole time with no response, which was why she was so anxious.
"Egg, my consciousness just left my body. I entered that place where my Prison Infant was being devoured."
Chu Feng immediately recounted everything he had just experienced to Egg.
"Wow, seriously? After all that, your grandfather turns out to be the master of the Prison Sect?"
"And you're actually the young lord of the Prison Sect?"
"That's absolutely insane, but it also sounds kind of thrilling."
Learning this, Egg was incredibly excited — she had the delighted feeling of an onlooker who had just stumbled onto some juicy gossip.
"Then those guys from Baili's side actually dared to go against you? Isn't that the ultimate act of treason? A capital crime of betraying the sect?"
"Still, even though it's surprising that Xiahou Jue would risk his life for you, that Baili Kong guy seems even worse than Dongfang Hansong. Even if he finds out your grandfather is their sect master, it probably won't help, right?"
"Sigh… it's all because those old fogeys from the Neutral Faction were useless — they got ambushed by Dongfang Hansong's lot and slapped with the charge of betraying the sect."
"Now even if the Prison Sect's people learn you're the young lord, nobody's left who can help you."
Egg was excited at first, but soon felt helpless.
Her reasoning was simple: if Dongfang Hansong was willing to target Chu Feng for Chen Hui's sake, then Baili Kong would naturally target Chu Feng for Baili Zilin's sake as well. The only ones who could truly help Chu Feng were those six elders of the Neutral Faction. But after Egg and Chu Feng had heard what had become of those six elders once they were trapped here, they naturally felt that Chu Feng's identity as the sect master's grandson was unlikely to change anything.
Chu Feng himself felt the same way. While he was surprised by his grandfather's connection to the Prison Sect, the predicament he now faced would probably still have to be solved on his own. Right now, he couldn't break the sealing formation — the power of Jie Tianran's clone was simply too formidable.
