In the centre, with Yu Feng as the epicenter, a chilling array manifested itself before Daoist Tong Chen. It spread out in all directions, reminiscent of the black-and-white envoys from the Underworld coming to claim souls.

Daoist Tong Chen could not believe this sight. Yu Feng had just reached the Golden Core Stage without even stabilizing his realm. How could he possibly set up such a powerful formation?

This was beyond comprehension.

A formation set up by someone in the Golden Core Stage should not pose a threat to someone at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Even his fifth senior brother, who had meticulously spent seven years setting up the Spirit Plant Formation, could only weaken his own rune power and posed no direct threat to himself.

With a forced smile on his face, Daoist Tong Chen said, “Good apprentice, what are you doing? You’d better dismantle the formation quickly, it wouldn’t be good if you harm me.”

“Just now, the atmosphere was so tense, so I made a joke to lighten the mood. You can cure my injuries with your alchemy, and Wu Lian was raised by me since she was small, like my own daughter. How could I hurt her?”

Yu Feng shook his head gently and slowly walked towards Daoist Tong Chen.

“Master, I once thought you were a good person and went to great lengths to save you. Unfortunately, I’ve misjudged you.”

At this point, Yu Feng felt somewhat ridiculous. He thought that once he dealt with the third, fourth and fifth senior brothers, he would be able to help his master and senior sister cross a deadly catastrophe.

He did not expect his senior sister’s disaster not only to come from his senior brothers but also their master.

When Senior Brother Jiang told him about Master’s true nature, he was skeptical and hardly dared to believe it.

One could imagine what a desperate situation it would have been if he hadn’t bumped into Senior Brother Jiang and was confronted by their master, who showed his true colors, after he had dealt with the three senior brothers himself.

“Why don’t you explain why the fourth senior brother knows my technique? Did you want to obtain my technique through him?”

“Why didn’t you tell my senior sister that she has a congenital body? Were you afraid she’d become suspicious?”

“What else can those medicinal materials in your cave be used for, apart from being the auxiliary ingredients for creating a human pill?”

“Why is the technique my senior sister practises an incomplete piece that can’t break through the Nascent Soul Stage? Are you worried about not being able to control her after she breaks through the stage?”

Wu Lian looked in shock at her master. She had never known that she was born with a congenital body and had always struggled to break through, blaming herself for it. Now it turns out that the technique she practiced was incomplete from the start.

“Where did Second Senior Brother get his Devouring Method? Aren’t you secretly teaching him, hoping that after his cultivation level is achieved, he will turn on him and devour him?”

“Master, can you explain these issues?”

Daoist Tong Chen was rendered speechless. Everything Yu Feng said was true.

What he couldn’t understand was how Yu Feng knew all these things.

“I can explain everything. Let me tell you slowly…” As Daoist Tong Chen spoke his last word, he transformed into a lightning bolt and rushed towards Yu Feng.

“Xiao Feng, watch out!” Wu Lian, the senior sister, was shocked.

Yu Feng’s expression remained unchanged, he spoke flatly, “Seal.”

As the spiritual energy around them was instantly drained and turned into chains linking with the spiritual energy within Daoist Tong Chen, he was tightly trapped in mid-air.

With his neck stretched out, Daoist Tong Chen howled hysterically, “How could there possibly be such a formation! It’s impossible!”

Yu Feng smiled, “If the power of heaven and earth can be used in rune techniques, why can’t they be used in formations?”

“If I wasn’t severely injured, this kind of formation wouldn’t have been able to trap me!” Daoist Tong Chen was reluctant.

“Master, are you sure that your injuries were not part of my plans?”

“You know the runes, you can do alchemy, and you can set up formations as well! How can one person know so many things, where did you learn all these from!?”

His eyes red, Daoist Tong Chen roared an enquiry.

In fact, he was frightened and trying to assert himself.

This little apprentice seemed like an abyss, always making you wonder what he was capable of, what he was thinking, and how far he had strategized.

Yu Feng didn’t answer this question. Instead, he smiled and looked up at the sky.

“The effects of the formation are as I expected,” Bai Hongtu nodded slightly, satisfied with his calculations.

Bai Hongtu had come to check on the effectiveness of the formation he had instructed Yu Feng on.

Now, it seemed barely acceptable. If Bai Hongtu had been in Yu Feng’s position, he could have set a trap capable of killing Daoist Tong Chen directly when he was uninjured.

However, one could not demand too much from Yu Feng. With his talents, being capable of setting up this level of formation was already a commendable feat.

After all, Yu Feng’s strength lay in the vast breadth of techniques he knew, rather than the depth of his expertise in each.

With the spiritual energy transformed into chains binding Daoist Tong Chen, Yu Feng slowly made a twisting motion, crushing both the physical body and the Nascent Soul of the Daoist Tong Chen together.

Sister Wu Lian looked desolate. She paid her respects to Daoist Tong Chen and took up the responsibility of the eldest sister, “Let’s go find third and fourth brothers. I don’t know how they are after such a catastrophe.”

“Alright.” Yu Feng pretended to be unaware of the conditions of the third and fourth senior brothers.

The third and fourth senior brothers had already been poisoned and died long ago.

“How are the third and fourth brothers…” Sister Wu Lian covered her mouth, her body trembling.

Yu Feng spoke with a hint of bitterness, his eyes reddening.

“Fourth brother died of elixir poisoning, which resulted from long-term consumption of the fifth brother’s medicinal plants. As the third brother and the fifth brother were very close, only the fifth brother could have killed the third brother without any trace.”

“It must have been the fifth brother who killed the other two! They were good people. It’s shocking that they were betrayed by the fifth brother. How tragic!”

Wu Lian was picked up by Daoist Tong Chen when she was young, and she had never experienced the cunning of the Ancient World. She never thought that the master desired to refine her, nor did she expect the fifth brother to be an informant.

She had taken a series of shocks in one night, and her mind was dazed. Her body weakened, and just as she was about to fall, Yu Feng rushed up to support her.

“Senior sister, are you okay?”

Seeing the juvenile face of his junior brother gradually losing its innocence, Sister Wu Lian shook her head lightly. She tried to get up but her body failed her, forcing Yu Feng to continue supporting her.

Yu Feng intentionally absolved himself, blaming everything on the fifth senior brother. If he told his senior sister the truth—that there’s no good person in the sect—she would probably be hit even harder and possibly never recover.

“By the way, senior sister, this is what I obtained from master. Have a look. Is this a continuation of your technique?” Yu Feng tried to divert his senior sister’s attention and took out an old technique book from his arms.

“The Innate Creation Technique? The name does match my technique.” After flipping through it, Wu Lian found it really was a continuation of her technique.

“The latter part of the book is much more superior than the former.” Wu Lian was surprised. She had thought that her technique could at most cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Stage. Now it seemed possible to cultivate to the Body Integration Realm or even higher.

Yu Feng muttered to himself that this was the middle part added by Senior Brother Jiang, definitely stronger than the original.

After a night, Wu Lian was reborn, and her Nascent Soul was a top-notch one.

The joy of becoming a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator diluted her sadness, but Wu Lian still felt a sense of melancholy that she couldn’t put into words.

“Junior brother, our sect only has us two left.”

Suddenly, a voice came from the sky, “I haven’t seen you in over a decade, and our sect has become so destitute?”

The person from the sky declared loudly, “The Heavenly Monarch has decreed to establish the Immortal Dynasty. All cultivators in the Ancient World are to become citizens of the Immortal Dynasty, including you two.”

Wu Lian looked up abruptly and saw the figure in the sky, her pupils shrinking, “Second brother?”
