“On that note, there is one thing I need to inform all of you. You have to make a decision now,” Jie Tianran said.

“What is it?”

The Netherworld Sectmembers turned to look at Jie Tianran.

“While I was unraveling the suppression formation Chu Feng has embedded inside the sacred item, I noticed that Chu Feng has buried an Immemorial Era’s talisman paper in the formation. That talisman paper harnesses immense destructive energy. It won’t be easy to deal with it.”

The Netherworld Sectmembers visibly tensed up upon hearing that.

“I can destroy Chu Feng’s suppression formation right now, but there is a chance that the talisman paper will unleash its destructive energy in retaliation and damage your sacred item. I’m not sure if your sacred item can withstand the damage. It’ll take longer if I have to take control of the Immemorial Era’s talisman paper. By then, Chu Feng might have already gotten away. So, I ask you to quickly discuss the matter and come to a decision,” Jie Tianran said.

His meaning was clear.

He could unravel the suppression formation right away, but that came with the risk of damaging the sacred item. If he had to protect the sacred item, he would require more time to remove the suppression formation.

He was basically tossing the blame to the Netherworld Sect.

“There’s no need to discuss this matter. Protecting the sacred item takes priority,” Cang Li replied right away.

The other experts of the neutral faction, the new faction’s Baili Xukong, and the conservative faction’s Dongfang Hansong expressed their stances at the same time, “Protect the sacred item.”

To the Netherworld Sectmembers, the sacred item was more important than their lives. Everything was secondary before the sacred item.

As they gave their answer, the old entity inside Jie Tianran’s body said, “Jie Tianran, you must be intimidated.”

Of course, only Jie Tianran could hear the old entity’s voice.

“What do you mean by that?” Jie Tianran asked.

“There’s no Immemorial Era’s talisman paper in Chu Feng’s suppression formation. You’re merely coming up with an excuse to fool the Netherworld Sect because you’re worried that you can’t lift the suppression formation in time and stop your grandson from leaving,” the old entity said.

“Whether we stop Chu Feng or not depends on you. Are you confident?” Jie Tianran asked.

The old entity replied, “Does that mean you’re not confident in me?”

Jie Tianran laughed. “Of course not. I am confident in your means, elder. I’m just reluctant to make a guarantee to the Netherworld Sect, else they’ll throw the blame on me if anything goes awry. I’m merely taking countermeasures just in case... though I have a more important reason for doing so.”

“Why don’t you tell me about it?”

“Based on what I have observed, the Netherworld Sect’s sacred item harnesses immense energy. If I help them awaken it, the Netherworld Sectmembers will surely enjoy a spike in their fighting prowess, if not in their cultivation. Until I gain control of the sacred item, I will not let it awaken. In other words, this awakening is doomed to fail.

“Gaining control of the sacred item is no easy feat, too. God’s Era has begun stirring, so I can’t stay here for too long. The solution is for me to fuse more Immemorial Era’s talisman papers in the control formation and let them devour the sacred item on their own accord.

“However, that will be time-consuming, and I won’t be able to stay here to keep an eye on it. Something might go awry in the process. By framing it on Chu Feng in advance, if anything happens to the sacred item now or later on, it will have nothing to do with me,” Jie Tianran said.

“Ingenious! Jie Tianran, you’re very thorough in your plans. Your grandson will be taking the blame on your behalf no matter what happens. We won’t be making a loss even if he escapes from here.” The old entity was very satisfied with Jie Tianran’s explanation.

“Did that little bastard siphon away Ranqing’s luck? How did he stumble upon so many fortuitous encounters and obtain so many treasures and formidable means? I don’t fear him even if he reaches Heavenly God, but the other world spiritists of our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion won’t be a match for him.

“I need to eliminate him as soon as possible and reclaim our bloodline. If I can reclaim Ruler’s Bloodline before entering God’s Era, I’ll be able to get more from it,” Jie Tianran said.

“You’re right. I’ll need more time for my formation. It’s a good thing that your grandson is roaming around the Undying Starfield when he could have just escaped. Once I complete my formation, your grandson need not dream about escaping from here,” the old entity said.

When the Netherworld Sectmembers learned that Jie Tianran couldn’t unravel the suppression formation right away, they understood that they could only rely on their rank one Heavenly Gods to apprehend Chu Feng.

But their rank one Heavenly Gods couldn’t even catch up with Chu Feng, let alone capture him.

“Isn’t Chu Feng a True God? How is he able to maintain such a fast speed of travel?” Cang Li was confused.

“I think there’s another matter we need to worry about,” Dongfang Hansong said.

“What is it?”

“Chu Feng is here to save a friend. He has already rescued her, and none of the rank one Heavenly Gods and rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists can faze him. So, why doesn’t he just leave?”

“Perhaps he’s unable to breach the Mansion Master’s sealing formation?” someone suggested.

Dongfang Hansong shook his head. “Chu Feng has been maintaining a confident front. I don’t think it’s just bravado. Furthermore, I heard that he has a powerful escape means that allows him to instantaneously flee to a faraway place. If the rumors are true, he could have made a getaway by now.”

“Are you suggesting that he’s up to something?” Cang Li asked.

“That’s right.” Dongfang Hansong nodded.

The atmosphere grew heavy. The powerhouses gathered here could easily raise storms in the world of cultivation, but all of them felt uneasy. It was not that they were timid, but that none of them dared to continue underestimating Chu Feng after having witnessed his means.
