Chapter 473: Chapter 238: Tenth-Layer Qi Condensation, Breakthrough_3

Besides, his goal had already been achieved.

Not to mention it was dark and gloomy here; if they stayed for too long, Jiang Feng was worried Han Dong would get psychologically scarred.

"Let’s wait until they’ve all entered, then we’ll figure out how to get out."

Han Dong explained.

"You mean... Oh man, how did I not think of that?"

Jiang Feng slapped his forehead hard.

Only now did he realize it.

Inside the mansion, restriction arrays were everywhere. Even if the Three-Eyed Divine General entered, he’d have to break through those arrays first before reaching Jiang Feng.

Waiting here for them to come in and cause trouble was much better than going out and facing them directly.

The logic was actually pretty simple.

It wasn’t hard for Jiang Feng to figure out.

He’d just been worried about Han Dong’s injuries, and was eager to go out and settle the score with the Cyan Snake King, which was why he forgot that dragging things out inside the mansion could be his biggest winning move.

But with the ruckus outside getting louder and louder...

Jiang Feng also knew these days wouldn’t last long.

He checked his Fortune Point.

Fortune: 2,491,332

The growth rate of Fortune Points had already slowed down.

This proved that danger was closing in.

To be safe, Jiang Feng decided to upgrade his Sword Control Technique. He remembered it was about the same level as the Mysterious Nether Spear Technique, so he put one million five hundred fifty thousand Fortune Points into Sword Control Technique.

Fortune: 941,332

Skills: Sword Control Technique (Great Success)

After hesitating a bit, he put another nine hundred thousand or so Fortune Points into the Five Elements Array.

The status panel changed.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: None

Cultivation Technique: Yang Technique (Minor Achievement)

Skills: Flame Saber (Mastery), Wind Control (Mastery), Five Elements Array (Minor Achievement), Sword Control Technique (Great Success), Thousand Faces (Perfection), Mysterious Nether Spear Technique (Perfection)

Realm: Qi Condensation (Tenth Layer)

Divine Power: Immortality

"Buzz!"

There was a commotion at the exit.

"I, Thousand Slash King, don’t believe entering the Divine Sect Mansion requires that crappy Three-legged Body Technique! That so-called body technique can’t compare to my clan’s Shrinking Inches!"

Someone cursed loudly at the entrance.

His spiritual power was fierce, possessing a Seventh-Layer Qi Condensation cultivation.

He didn’t know the Three-legged Body Technique, and had no guide, yet brute-forced his way through the array and entered the mansion. He saw two stone statues on Jiang Feng’s side.

So he used his body technique, charging toward the stone statues.

As he charged, he hurled magic forward, trying to destroy the restriction arrays in his way.

Relying on his strength, he forced his way through three layers of restriction arrays in a row.

When he reached the fourth layer...

He felt both feet firmly sucked into a swamp, streams of silvery liquid climbing up from the ground, trying to devour him.

"Mercury Array?"

"Bullshit!"

He cursed furiously.

He slammed his palm down, magic surging, a Flame Saber splitting from his palm and chopping at that silvery stream.

Whoosh!

"Ah!"

He screamed miserably.

He didn’t expect the Flame Saber to actually chop right onto his own legs.

The silvery stream seemed to ignore all his attacks, wrapping around and devouring his body.

Jiang Feng watched with his Spiritual Sense.

He saw the man get swallowed by the Mercury Array; his previously ferocious flailing quickly disappeared without a sound.

All movement ceased.

"Doesn’t look like a Divine Sect Disciple."

"Nor a Royal Family expert."

"I get it—he’s one of those loose cultivators after the bounty."

"In order to deal with me, Divine Sect actually isn’t restricting loose cultivators from entering the Divine Sect Mansion. They’re just using them as cannon fodder."

"I can’t let them succeed."

Jiang Feng realized the problem.

"Listen up, people outside! The mansion is filled with restriction arrays. Don’t get fooled so easily. Think about it—if Divine Sect could catch me themselves, why would they—"

Jiang Feng shouted outward.

He could project his voice without needing much spiritual power at all.

"What are you doing? Stop talking!"

Han Dong, who was consolidating his cultivation nearby, turned pale, rushed over, and covered Jiang Feng’s mouth.

"Divine Sect and the Royal Family got a bunch of loose cultivators to deal with me. I’m warning them not to get tricked,"

Jiang Feng whispered.

"Are you dumb? You shouting like that lets everyone know you’re still alive! Now all those loose cultivators will rush in at once!"

Han Dong scolded angrily.

"What?"

Jiang Feng was dumbfounded.

"Jiang Feng really is inside!"

"The Dragon Bone Bow is mine! The Qinglong Cauldron is mine too!"

"If Jiang Feng can survive in there, why can’t I? I refuse to believe this!"

"Hand over the Dragon Bone Bow, Jiang Feng, and I’ll spare your life!"

...

As Jiang Feng’s voice came from within the mansion, the loose cultivators who had been hesitating at the entrance—all fearing it was a trap—each had their eyes light up.

This Divine Sect Mansion was already full of opportunities.

Previously, it had been sealed by Divine Sect.

Because of Divine Sect’s deterrence, everyone hadn’t dared to go in easily.

Now that the mansion was open, everyone feared it was a trap to lure them in using Jiang Feng as bait—but to their shock, Jiang Feng was actually inside.

With the lure of the Dragon Bone Bow and the idea that "if Jiang Feng can do it, so can I,"

Those with weak will—or those who just wanted to take advantage of the chaos—scrambled to rush inside and take a look.

In an instant, the entire mansion was boiling over.

Some people, after entering, ignored the danger and charged straight for the stone statues.

Some understood the restriction arrays, cautiously searching for weaknesses, wanting to sneak in slowly.

Some were more sinister, pushing others into the arrays and watching them struggle, so they could observe and discover a safe path forward, getting closer to the stone statues.

"Let’s go!"

Outside the mansion, the Three-eyed Giant, now over three meters tall, was overjoyed. After greeting Elder Wang, he charged in first.

"Mr. Li, after you!"

Elder Wang called to Li Yang.

He could already see that Li Yang was ambitious and full of greed toward the Divine Sect Mansion—this trip clearly wasn’t just about capturing Jiang Feng.

"Alright!"

Li Yang didn’t refuse.

He’d long wanted to explore the Divine Sect Mansion.

Now, with the cannon fodder and the Three-Eyed Divine General blazing a trail, even if there really was danger inside, he’d be able to handle it calmly.

"Let’s move!"

With Elder Wang and Li Yang entering, those Divine Sect Disciples and Royal Family experts followed close behind.

"Your Majesty!"

The Yun Gui Sect Dharma King Shi Wanquan, now in the form of a giant pupa, was not to be outdone. Bursting out of his chrysalis, he crawled toward the mansion like a caterpillar with a human-shaped head.

But just then—

A blood-red maw appeared.

At the crucial moment as he entered, he was swallowed whole.

It was a Cyan Snake King.

A Cyan Snake King a hundred zhang long.
