Chapter 6533: A Clash of Formations
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, the Netherworld Sect eyed the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion with renewed wariness.
In the spatial realm, Baili Xukong and Cang Li also turned to look at Jie Tianran. They were aware that Chu Feng was attempting to drive a wedge in their relationship, but at the same time, the sacred item was so important to them that they couldn’t allow anything to go wrong.
Jie Tianran would have to prove his innocence to them.
Jie Tianran hadn’t expected Chu Feng to be this shameless, and that further fanned his anger. Even so, he kept his temper in and replied, “Chu Feng, there’s no one in the world of cultivation who doesn’t know about our ties. You are the one person whom I’ll never work with, so save your effort!”
His words echoed loudly across the Undying Starfield.
“Jie Tianran, there’s no one in the world of cultivation who doesn’t know about your despicable nature. There’s no deed beyond you. You even backstabbed your daughter in the name of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s interests. Naturally, you’re only going to deny our relationship to the bitter end.”
It was not without reason that Chu Feng insisted that he was colluding with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. In truth, Jie Tianran’s formation was powerful, to the point where he could have potentially gained control of the sacred item if granted more time.
Currently, the two of them were vying for control over the Netherworld Sect’s sacred item.
Both parties were still far from success, but the competition was already on.
It wouldn’t be a problem if that was all, but if Jie Tianran learned that Chu Feng’s true intention was not to gain full control of the Netherworld Sect’s sacred item but instead borrow its energy to channel a formation and suppress their cultivation, he might change his strategy and move to curb Chu Feng.
Jie Tianran’s means couldn’t be underestimated. He could lock onto Chu Feng even when the latter was already using the sacred item’s power to protect himself. There was no such thing as excessive caution when dealing with Jie Tianran.
So, Chu Feng was hoping to use this matter to mislead Jie Tianran. He wanted to let the other party think that he was driving a wedge in his ties with the Netherworld Sect to distract him so that he would fall behind him in the competition to control the sacred item.
“Chu Feng, we are all world spiritists here. Such lowly tricks are meaningless. If you want to control the sacred item, speak with your skills. But let me warn you. This isn’t the Ancestral Martial Spiritist Sect. There are no old things here to ensure fairness,” Jie Tianran spoke with a voice dripping in disdain.
He was also channeling the formation to take control of the sacred item. He glanced at Baili Xukong and Cang Li. “Don’t disturb us from channeling our formation if you don’t want your sacred item to be under that little bastard’s control. All you have to do is to seal off the area and don’t let that little bastard escape.”
Jie Tianran flung his sleeves.
The talisman papers floating above him descended and fused into the bodies of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists. The world spiritists began emanating divine lights.
“Channel the formation with me!”
The remaining talisman papers fused into the formation.
Even the nature of the formation changed as a result. It became less radiant, but it exuded an ancient, overwhelming power that everyone in the sacred item’s vicinity could feel.
Cang Li narrowed his eyes in skepticism, but he didn’t stop them.
“Lord Cang Li, there have been clashes between Chu Feng and our Netherworld Sect. I don't know how he slipped into the Undying Starfield, but he is definitely up to no good. If I have to choose between the two of them, I’d rather trust Jie Tianran,” Baili Xukong said before he went off to make arrangements.
He gathered the Netherworld Sect’s experts to form a seal around the sacred item to block Chu Feng’s escape routes.
Cang Li understood where Baili Xukong was coming from. Given the current circumstances, they had no choice but to go with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.
His eyes glanced at the detection formation constructed by the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. It encompassed the entire Undying Starfield, and while it couldn’t see what every individual was doing, it showed whether they harnessed a Netherworld Embryo in them. It was reflected in the formation that Chu Feng had a Netherworld Embryo.
“The rumors are true. He has fused with a Netherworld Embryo. If only he was brought into our sect together with Song Yun... Haa! But there are no ifs in this world,” Cang Li sighed.
He had heard about Chu Feng—the latter was known to be loyal to his friends. He could have become a huge asset that would bulk up their Netherworld Sect, but their paths crossed only to diverge.
...
Chu Feng could see experts from the Netherworld Sect encircling him. They whipped out treasures and cooperated with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists to seal off the area around him, forming an inescapable net.
But he didn’t have the spare energy to deal with that. He had to put his full attention into controlling the sacred item, to the point where he was starting to get flustered.
He couldn’t tell whether it was due to Li Wu’s curse energy or Jie Tianran’s formation, but the power lying dormant in the sacred item had fully awakened. If he wanted to, he could activate the sacred item right away for the Netherworld Sect’s use.
He could already tell that the sacred item’s power had the ability to metamorphose the Netherworld Embryo. He could hardly imagine how strong the Netherworld Embryo would become if the Netherworld Sect obtained this power.
Awakening the sacred item was effortless, but stopping its power from being used was a tall order.
“This is a headache.” Chu Feng felt stressed.
It would be terrible if Jie Tianran changed his mind and attempted to activate the sacred item instead of controlling it. He could only pray that Jie Tianran wouldn’t do that. If he could sense the sacred item’s power, Jie Tianran must be able to feel it as well.
Under normal circumstances, someone as selfish as Jie Tianran wouldn’t fulfill the Netherworld Sect’s wish. But again, there was no way to tell what Jie Tianran would do.
Chu Feng suddenly frowned. “I knew that old thing wouldn’t let the peace remain for long.”
Jie Tianran had found Chu Feng’s formation and was launching a two-pronged attack against it. He attempted to siphon spirit power away from Chu Feng’s formation while inflicting damage at its very core.
But Chu Feng didn’t panic. He had prepared countermeasures.
Instead, it was the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists who frowned. They discovered that Chu Feng had bound his formation to theirs, making it hard for them to siphon spirit power away from Chu Feng’s formation. Moreover, damaging Chu Feng’s formation would cause greater damage to their own.
“How is that little bastard so troublesome to deal with? Isn’t he just a True Dragon World Spiritist?”
The elite world spiritists of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion tasted despair. In their opinion, there was no way to purge Chu Feng’s formation.
All of a sudden, the world quaked.
Everyone turned their eyes to Jie Tianran.
The cause of the quake was an ancient red talisman paper in Jie Tianran’s hand. The talisman paper squirmed as if it had a life of its own. More importantly, it harnessed great spirit power.
Even Cang Li narrowed his eyes. “The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion has many secret hands.”
Jie Tianran’s voice boomed within the Undying Starfield. “Chu Feng, do you think I can’t do anything about you just because you’re holing up in my formation?”
He was about to fuse the red talisman paper into the formation when he suddenly stopped moving.
