As the World Spirit Mansion Gate neared its closing, Chu Feng remained seated deep within the boundary gate.
Originally, this place held only an object brimming with immense energy, unguarded by any formation.
But now, a dramatic change had occurred.
Not only had a guardian formation appeared, but the energy object was gone, replaced by a massive world spirit jade.
This jade was over ten times larger than the one Chu Feng had obtained in the plaza, radiating a dazzling, irresistible power.
The guardian formation protected this jade. If Chu Feng could break it, the jade would be his.
“Haha, I searched high and low, and here it is, effortless!”
“Little brat, we looked for you everywhere, and you’re here!”
Just as Chu Feng was about to break the formation, several voices rang out behind him.
“You?”
“How did you find me? I set up a formation on that gate!”
Chu Feng snapped back to reality, seeing the eleven world spiritists. His face paled, feigning panic.
“Hahaha, so you tampered with it! No wonder that gate seemed ordinary at first but then changed. You picked it from the start, afraid others would compete, so you altered its pattern!”
“Kid, you’re cunning!”
“But honestly, your boundary techniques are impressive. An Insect-Mark Saint-Cloak, yet you nearly fooled us.”
“Too bad, Insect-Mark is still Insect-Mark. We saw through your trick.”
“Thanks to you, we’ll take this world spirit jade.”
The spiritists grinned at Chu Feng, thrilled not only to have caught him but to have stumbled upon this massive jade. Best of all, the guardian formation was tough to crack—even for the eleven of them, the remaining time wasn’t enough.
But Chu Feng had nearly broken it.
They could reap his efforts, which made them especially delighted.
“Seniors, I offended you earlier. Please don’t hold it against me,” Chu Feng said.
“Kid, it’s too late to apologise. You should’ve thought of today when you tricked me,” said the spiritist Chu Feng had deceived.
“Damn it.”
Seeing they wouldn’t let him off easily, Chu Feng turned, releasing his boundary power to fully activate the formation.
But his method was unusual.
He wasn’t breaking the guardian formation—he was activating it, unleashing its power!
“This brat wants to take us down with him! Stop him!”
The eleven spiritists saw through his intent and grew nervous.
They sensed the formation’s strength. If unleashed, they’d be in trouble.
All eleven moved simultaneously, rushing to Chu Feng and releasing boundary power to stop him.
Buzz—
But as they approached, a powerful force surged from the formation’s center, instantly engulfing them.
“What… how is this possible?”
The eleven spiritists’ faces changed.
They found their bodies bound, unable to move, their boundary power suppressed by an overwhelming force.
“Did he activate the guardian formation’s power?”
“No, it’s not the guardian formation…”
They initially thought Chu Feng had triggered the formation’s power to trap them.
But looking closely, they realized it wasn’t so.
The massive world spirit jade at the formation’s center was gone, replaced by an energy body.
This body was continuously releasing its potent energy, powering the formation to bind them.
Most shocking was that, though they were some distance from the energy body, all eleven were trapped.
Yet Chu Feng, closer to it, was unbound, smirking at them with a sly grin.
“Damn it, we fell for it.”
“This brat played us!”
The eleven spiritists suddenly understood.
From the boundary gate’s entrance to the massive world spirit jade, it was all a trap set by Chu Feng.
And they’d fallen right into it.
Ten of the eleven were Serpent-Mark Saint-Cloak World Spiritists, yet they’d been outwitted by an Insect-Mark like Chu Feng.
Fury consumed them, their rage boiling over, hearts and lungs nearly exploding.
