“Looks like that guy is still here.”
The previously tense Dragon Phoenix Immortal Pavilion Master now brimmed with excitement.
“Where?”
At the same time, the leaders of the other five major forces asked in unison.
Though they had unleashed their martial power to sense the surroundings, they couldn’t detect Chu Feng’s presence.
This made them panic, fearing Chu Feng might slip away.
“Right here.”
The Dragon Phoenix Immortal Pavilion Master spoke, his hand grabbing at the void.
Jingle jingle.
The sound of bells rang out again, and a red thread appeared in his hand.
The thread was adorned with bells spaced a foot apart.
Once it appeared, it rapidly extended from his palm.
In an instant, countless red threads filled everyone’s vision.
The threads wove intricately, forming a cage-like formation.
It completely sealed off the vast plaza.
In truth, this was a formation the Pavilion Master had set up long ago, only now revealing itself.
Jingle jingle.
As he tugged, the sound of bells filled the heavens and earth.
Soon, a distorted figure appeared at the center of the plaza.
It was Chu Feng.
He stood not far from the barrier gate.
Everyone could tell he had just emerged from it.
Chu Feng had used the power of his Nine Dragons Saint Robe to conceal himself, fooling everyone.
But it couldn’t deceive the Pavilion Master’s treasure, which had formed this formation.
Though Chu Feng’s figure wasn’t fully clear, the strange soundwaves had locked onto his position.
The distorted figure marked his location.
“Impressive, worthy of the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Pavilion’s sect treasure.”
“Without it, that scoundrel might’ve escaped.”
Many praised the treasure’s power while feeling relieved.
They marvelled at the Pavilion Master’s artifact.
But weren’t they also marvelling at Chu Feng’s spirit techniques?
Without this treasure, a junior could have escaped right under the noses of the six major forces’ leaders. What a joke that would’ve been if word got out.
“Little brat, let’s see where you run now.”
Almost as Chu Feng appeared, two people attacked.
One was the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain Master, the other the Wind Thunder Sword Sect Master.
In terms of hatred for Chu Feng, aside from the All-Heaven Sect Master, the Wind Thunder Sword Sect Master was the most resentful.
Earlier, when Chu Feng, disguised as Wang Chen, had dominated the stone box world, unmatched, the Wind Thunder Sword Sect Master was ecstatic, believing his sect had produced a monstrous genius, poised to dominate all.
He’d even envisioned his sect rising under Wang Chen’s lead.
He’d openly displayed his pride before everyone.
But in the end, he learned Wang Chen was a fake.
The real Wang Chen was a deplorable junior who even admitted, in front of everyone, to plotting against his fellow disciples.
In that moment, the Wind Thunder Sword Sect Master wanted to crawl into a crevice.
He felt he had no face to remain.
And all this was thanks to Chu Feng.
Naturally, he hated Chu Feng to the core.
Boom.
Two waves of pressure surged toward Chu Feng.
But they collided with each other before reaching him.
“Why are you blocking me?”
The Wind Thunder Sword Sect Master glared angrily at the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain Master.
The latter had deliberately used his pressure to block the former’s, causing the collision before reaching Chu Feng.
“Your pressure is so ferocious, are you trying to kill him?”
“If you kill him and we can’t find the treasure from the stone box, will you compensate us?”
Unlike the Wind Thunder Sword Sect Master, the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain Master was equally displeased.
His anger stemmed from his concern for the mysterious treasure Chu Feng had obtained from the stone box world.
No one knew what it was or where it was.
But Chu Feng knew.
The Wind Thunder Sword Sect Master’s pressure seemed intent on killing him.
The Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain Master had to intervene.
If Chu Feng died and they couldn’t find the treasure, they’d lose big.
Boom.
Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled violently.
Many weaker cultivators were knocked off their feet.
While the two masters argued, others struck.
The Blazing Academy Master and the Miao Clan Chief.
But their pressures, upon nearing Chu Feng, vanished into an abyss, failing to harm him. Instead, the heavens shook strangely.
“Dispel your Demon-Slaying Immortal Bell Formation!”
Seeing they couldn’t catch Chu Feng, the Blazing Academy Master shouted at the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Pavilion Master.
The Demon-Slaying Immortal Bell Formation was the treasure that had revealed the hidden Chu Feng.
“It’s not my treasure’s fault. It doesn’t affect your ability to catch him.”
The Pavilion Master spoke, then, as if to prove it, reached out himself.
His pressure formed a hand, lunging at Chu Feng.
But like the others, it was swallowed by an invisible force upon nearing him.
Boom.
The heavens shook again, and weaker juniors bled from their orifices, some fainting.
It was as if the released pressure was absorbed and then unleashed in another form, enveloping the area.
“Hmph.”
Suddenly, a figure left the main platform.
When he reappeared, he was near Chu Feng.
The All-Heaven Sect Master.
He reached out to grab Chu Feng.
Though he didn’t unleash a world-shaking pressure, his move was still awe-inspiring.
It was as if his hand covered the void, inescapable.
This was the aura of a great figure, the strongest in the All-Heaven Starfield.
“What?”
But at ten meters from Chu Feng, he couldn’t advance further.
It was as if a soft, invisible wall blocked him.
Then, the masters of Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain, Wind Thunder Sword Sect, and Blazing Academy moved.
Their momentum was fierce, warping the void.
But like the All-Heaven Sect Master, they were stopped ten meters from Chu Feng.
“Damn it, put away your bells!” the Blazing Academy Master roared.
“I said it’s not my fault.”
The Pavilion Master was helpless.
Still, he retracted the sky-full of bells.
But even after they vanished, the masters remained in the same positions.
Hands outstretched, reaching for Chu Feng.
And they weren’t relaxed. Their expressions showed intense effort.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t touch him.
Whether by physical body or pressure, they were blocked.
Unlike before, with the Demon-Slaying Immortal Bell Formation gone, Chu Feng’s distorted figure vanished completely.
“Hah, a bunch of trash.”
Suddenly, Chu Feng’s voice rang out.
His figure reappeared.
This time, it was no longer distorted.
Everyone knew he’d chosen to reveal himself.
Facing the encirclement of several masters, Chu Feng showed no fear. Instead, his face was filled with disdain and mockery.
“You beast.”
“I’ll slaughter you!”
A furious roar erupted.
The Wind Thunder Sword Sect Master.
Already hating Chu Feng, and now mocked by him, he exploded.
His rage and killing intent were palpable to all.
The void churned, lightning flashing.
But no matter his fury, he couldn’t break the invisible barrier before him.
