Seeing this, the Spirit World Masters of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace also showed looks of panic.
Especially those elite Spirit World Masters below in the formation's eye positions — they were the most panicked of all.
After all, they knew in their hearts that they were indeed using the formation to control the Prison Sect's sacred artifact.
But they hadn't expected that the sacred artifact would be secretly communicating with the Prison Sect's juniors.
Wouldn't this expose everything?
If they were truly exposed...
It would inevitably lead to a great battle.
However, among the Seven Realms Sacred Palace, there was one person whose expression remained unchanged.
That was Jie Tianran.
"Foolish."
"If I wanted to move against your Prison Sect, would I need to go through all this trouble?"
Jie Tianran said.
"Our sect has used various methods to awaken the sacred artifact."
"But this has never happened before."
"And that formation was activated by you — don't you know what happened?"
Baili Xukong asked.
"Someone is indeed controlling your Prison Sect's sacred artifact, and even using the sacred artifact's power to bewitch your Prison Sect's juniors, forcing them to utter those words that falsely accused me."
"However, the one doing this is not my Seven Realms Sacred Palace."
Jie Tianran said.
"What a joke."
"Here, apart from my Prison Sect, there are only your Seven Realms Sacred Palace's people."
"Are you suggesting that it's someone from my Prison Sect controlling the formation?" Cang Li said sarcastically.
"You're right — it actually is someone from your Prison Sect."
As Jie Tianran spoke, he waved his right sleeve, and the compass in his hand soared into the air.
Then, a beam of light shot out from that compass, landing on the observation formation.
That beam of light moved, and finally locked onto Chu Feng and the others, who were trapped within the dark red glow.
However, that beam of light didn't just cover the observation formation.
That beam of light actually passed through the observation formation and entered the Immortal Star Domain.
From Chu Feng and the others' perspective: A beam of light descended from high in the starry sky, enveloping Chu Feng and the others.
"What is that?"
Dan Dan, who had been relaxed, immediately stood up.
Her instincts told her this was not good.
At this moment, Chu Feng's expression also shifted slightly, but he wasn't overly panicked. He sighed: "I underestimated that old bastard Jie Tianran."
...
Within the formation space, Cang Li didn't understand Jie Tianran's intentions and continued to press: "What is the meaning of this?"
"The one attempting to control the sacred artifact is among these people."
Jie Tianran spoke again, his voice not only echoing within the formation space but also clearly audible throughout the entire Immortal Star Domain.
As his voice rang out, the talisman papers suspended above Jie Tianran fell one after another into the light-emitting compass.
Causing that compass's power to multiply.
And so, the beam of light enveloping Chu Feng and the others began to rapidly narrow.
Until it finally locked onto a single person.
This person was Chu Feng.
"Feng Chu?"
Cang Li's gaze shifted.
Jie Tianran let out a cold laugh.
"Everyone, take a good look."
"The one attempting to control your Prison Sect's sacred artifact is this person."
"Are you still going to falsely accuse my Seven Realms Sacred Palace?" Jie Tianran said.
"Bullshit."
"You set up some formation and think you can frame someone from my Prison Sect?"
Cang Li didn't believe Jie Tianran's words.
Moreover, the one being framed was the promising talent he had his eye on — Feng Chu.
Even Baili Xukong looked at him with suspicion.
After all, what Cang Li said made sense.
Even if Jie Tianran had used this method, who could determine whether what he said was true or false?
Had he truly locked onto the person controlling the formation, or had he just randomly picked someone to frame?
Currently, there was simply no way to tell.
"My methods are not for you to argue against."
"Reveal yourself!!!"
Jie Tianran's seals changed once more, and several more talisman papers flew out, entering the compass.
At this moment, the compass's light changed. A massive number of runes, like a school of fish, descended from the sky along that beam of light.
Endlessly falling onto Chu Feng.
At this moment, the space around Chu Feng warped.
Even the Prison Sect's bamboo hat and robe, which possessed powerful concealing effects, began to turn transparent.
