“Brother Chu Feng, have you really changed your mind?”
Linghu Hongfei asked, while the others showed signs of delight. Although Chu Feng had spoken threatening words with a sly smile, which felt eerie and made their hearts tighten, they didn’t truly believe him. As long as he was willing to open that door, they were naturally thrilled.
“I, Chu Feng, keep my word. Since they’re looking for death, I can oblige them.”
“But saving my friend comes first, so I need to gather the Ghost Seal Grass before anything else,” Chu Feng said.
Seeing this, Linghu Hongfei quickly offered, “I’ll help you.”
“Brother Linghu, I appreciate the kindness, but I can handle it alone.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng leapt forward, vaulting over the mountain peak and plunging into the depths of the formation.
What lay deep within the formation was a mystery to everyone present except Linghu Hongfei.
But they all knew one thing: the depths were incredibly dangerous.
“Big Brother Hongfei, why don’t you follow him in and check? If he dies, it’s no big deal, but losing that Boundary Sword would be a problem,” Linghu Yueyue said to Linghu Hongfei.
“Since Brother Chu Feng insists on going alone, we should respect his choice,” Linghu Hongfei replied.
With him saying that, the others couldn’t argue further.
However, many within the formation, like Linghu Yueyue, were quietly worried.
They didn’t care about Chu Feng’s life or death—they just didn’t want the Boundary Sword lost, as it tied directly to their interests.
Swish—
But not long after, a figure leapt back from beyond the peak, landing among the group.
Seeing this person, everyone was startled—it was Chu Feng, who’d just left.
“What’s this? Back so soon? Did you find the mechanisms in the formation’s depths too much and come begging for our help?” Linghu Tiemian sneered at Chu Feng.
It wasn’t just Linghu Tiemian—Linghu Mingye, Linghu Lun, and many others outside the formation felt a twinge of contempt for Chu Feng.
If he’d accepted Linghu Hongfei’s help from the start, no one would’ve looked down on him.
After all, Chu Feng’s strength was already far beyond theirs, something they couldn’t match.
But rejecting Linghu Hongfei’s offer, charging in full of confidence, and then running back for help? That was a bit too embarrassing.
“Help? From who? You?”
Chu Feng shot a disdainful look at Linghu Tiemian. “A weakling like you can’t even clear that peak, let alone enter the formation’s depths.”
“You’re talking rubbish! You come crawling back for help and still act so cocky?” Linghu Tiemian snapped, fuming.
He’d admit the formation’s depths were beyond him, but saying he couldn’t even cross the peak? That was too much.
“Tiemian, Brother Chu Feng isn’t lying. There’s a sealing barrier on that peak. Without a way to break it, you lot really can’t get over,” Linghu Hongfei interjected.
“Huh? But Chu Feng, he…”
Linghu Tiemian wanted to point out that Chu Feng had crossed it effortlessly without breaking anything.
“Brother Chu Feng is exceptional. He doesn’t even need to break the formation to get past. I reckon… he’s already figured out some hidden secrets of this array, hasn’t he?” Linghu Hongfei asked Chu Feng.
“Sort of,” Chu Feng said with a faint smile, then added, “I’ll step out for a bit. When I’m back, I’ll open that door.”
“Step out? Where to?” Liangqiu Hongyue asked, curious.
“Since I’ve got the Ghost Seal Grass, I’m leaving the formation, of course.” As Chu Feng spoke, he flicked his wrist, and over 130 Ghost Seal Grass plants floated into the air.
These weren’t conjured by boundary power—they were the real deal.
“This guy gathered that much Ghost Seal Grass in such a short time?”
Seeing what Chu Feng displayed, not just the juniors inside and outside the formation, but even Liangqiu Chengfeng and the others were wide-eyed with shock.
Even if they entered the formation to gather Ghost Seal Grass, it’d take them time—nothing like Chu Feng’s speed.
Wait—did he just say he’s leaving the formation?
“Who do you think you are? You think you can just waltz out of this formation?”
“You think you built it or something? This is the Boundary Spirit Immortal King’s array!” Linghu Lun mocked.
Buzz—
But as soon as he finished, Chu Feng pointed at the air, and a boundary gate opened.
“What’d you just say?” Chu Feng turned to Linghu Lun, pretending he hadn’t heard.
“I…” Linghu Lun’s face turned ashen, speechless.
The moment he saw that gate, he was stunned.
His mind was a whirlwind of question marks.
What was that gate? What was going on?
“No worries, don’t panic. Your big brother Chu Feng will be back soon to show you what despair really feels like.”
Chu Feng flashed a smile, then leapt into the boundary gate.
Once he entered, it snapped shut.
At that moment, everyone inside and outside the formation was slack-jawed.
Even Linghu Yueyue, Tantai Xing’er, the Liangqiu sisters, and a genius like Wuma Shengjie were gobsmacked.
Gathering over 100 Ghost Seal Grass plants in a blink was one thing.
But coming and going freely in such a formidable formation?
Was this guy even human?
Next to Chu Feng’s power, even Linghu Hongfei paled in comparison.
“Did he really leave the formation?”
“Is he tricking us?”
“And that 100-plus Ghost Seal Grass—did he actually just gather that?”
Linghu Lun asked around, desperate for someone to tell him it was all fake.
Truth be told, plenty of people shared his disbelief.
Good thing they didn’t know that, right then, outside the formation, a boundary gate had opened before Master Liangqiu and the others.
Otherwise, they’d have been scared stiff.
Because Chu Feng really could come and go as he pleased.
