Chu Feng's plan was proceeding smoothly.
The main reason was that he had mastered his control over the Guardian Heavenshield Spirit to perfection, keeping it right at the brink of shattering without actually letting it break.
This forced the Seven Realms Holy Temple to take the matter with utmost seriousness. They had no choice but to pour their full power into activating the Sealing Formation, as well as the array that blocked teleportation.
At this moment, the blue aura surrounding Chu Feng still maintained the level of a Fifth Rank Heavenly Deity.
But the power of Jie Tianran's clone was nearly exhausted.
Once that happened, relying solely on the formations set up by these Seven Realms Holy Temple members would be nowhere near enough to stop Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, this old man knows what you're plotting."
Just then, from a floating warship in the distance, an elderly man with green light radiating from his eyes spoke up from afar.
This man was named Lingmouzi, one of the Holy-tier Elders of the Seven Realms Holy Temple.
Behind him stood multiple Holy-tier Elders, all watching Chu Feng with nearly identical postures.
"Oh? Then why don't you tell me about it," Chu Feng said.
"Once your little trick can no longer hold, the only thing you'll be able to rely on is the power of that blue aura on your body."
"But you know perfectly well that with that power alone, you are no match for our Seven Realms Holy Temple."
"You intend to use the Formation Rune to enhance your speed and then make your escape."
"But you've underestimated our Seven Realms Holy Temple's Sealing Formation far too much."
"This grand formation has been infused with the power of the Temple Master himself."
"Setting aside the fact that the cultivation of your blue aura has already declined to the Fifth Rank of Heavenly Deity—"
"Even if it were still at the Sixth Rank of Heavenly Deity, you would be utterly incapable of breaking free."
"If you surrender obediently, we can guarantee your safety."
"But if you attempt to break through the Sealing Formation, you will be seeking your own death."
Lingmouzi declared.
"You think I, Chu Feng, was raised on threats?"
Chu Feng sneered with contempt.
Lingmouzi probably believed that the fusion of Jie Tianran's clone's power was so seamless that Chu Feng had no idea it was about to dissipate. He was actually trying to use Jie Tianran's clone to intimidate Chu Feng.
"Heh heh."
"Chu Feng, this old man is giving you well-intentioned advice."
"The moment you actually come into contact with the Sealing Formation, you'll learn what it truly means to wish for death."
Lingmouzi said.
"Lingmouzi, why don't I tell you something instead?"
Chu Feng said.
"What is it?"
Lingmouzi asked.
"The moment I release this trick of mine, your time will come."
The instant these words left Chu Feng's lips, Lingmouzi and the others maintained their composure on the surface, but inwardly, they clenched their sleeves in紧张.
"This little brat—could he actually have a hidden trump card capable of wiping us out?"
Lingmouzi and the others were panicking on the inside.
They had intended to intimidate Chu Feng, but instead they ended up being thoroughly rattled by him.
It wasn't that they were cowardly—it was that none of them could see through Chu Feng's methods.
But at that very moment, Chu Feng's pupils contracted.
He was the first to see it: in the distant starry sky, a cold gleam illuminated everything, sweeping toward them like a cloud of light.
Those were weapons!!!
Dense clusters of weapons and dense clusters of people.
From a distance, they looked like a swarm of locusts, engulfing everything in an encirclement as they surged toward Chu Feng.
It was the army of the Prison Sect.
"Weren't they supposed to be opening the Sacred Artifact? How did they return so quickly?"
"Could the Seven Realms Holy Temple have sent them a message, calling them back for reinforcement?"
Seeing the massive forces of the Prison Sect, Chu Feng immediately sensed that something was terribly wrong.
After all, when it came to facing Baili Xukong, he truly had no way to deal with him right now.
If that was the case, his plan had fallen apart.
"Hahahaha."
