Chapter 1638: Chapter 884: Suspiciously Quiet

"The camp is unexpectedly so quiet, it seems like you can’t hear a single sound at all. This isn’t how it should be when hosting a banquet..."

Lin Feng spoke seriously and calmly to Qian Hua. At this moment, Qian Yue and an Armored Soldier also began nodding repeatedly.

Seeing the Armored Soldier and Qian Yue affirm Lin Feng’s words, Qian Hua finally snapped awake.

She quietly said to the three of them: "That’s right, when hosting a banquet, it should be a lively affair, how could it be so quiet now? It’s strange, it seems like there’s not a single sound inside, not even the sound of breathing."

After saying this, everyone became alert.

It seemed that something major had happened inside the camp.

In the pause of everyone’s thoughts, Qian Yue added: "Earlier, when Senior Yuan was on the carriage, he had already sensed something."

Hearing Qian Yue say this, Lin Feng suddenly realized that Yuan Hong was already nowhere to be seen. It seemed Yuan Hong had already taken action on his own.

"It seems like there’s a prohibition set up here, using brute force from the outside won’t be able to break open the barrier." Lin Feng walked to the entrance of the tent and whispered.

His eyes were fully focused on this prohibition. Lin Feng touched the air with his hand, sensing the power of the prohibition emanating from within the tent.

The Armored Soldier raised his hand to unleash a palm strike toward the tent canopy.

Lin Feng stopped him and calmly said: "Acting impulsively now will surely alert the people inside; I believe there must be someone still alive inside the barrier, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been set up before us."

The Armored Soldier, hearing Lin Feng’s words, finally calmed down. At this moment, he wasn’t truly concerned about the lives of those inside but was instead worried about the addition of eight thousand troops in Peace City. As long as nothing happened to Chen Lang, with Lin Feng’s prestige in the camp, it probably wouldn’t take long before these people would all come under Lin Feng’s control.

The Armored Soldier thought it all through very thoroughly, not as simple as he appeared on the surface. Otherwise, the Imperial Censor wouldn’t have been so at ease leaving people behind.

"So what should we do?" Qian Yue asked Lin Feng at this moment, waiting for Lin Feng to answer.

Lin Feng said to Qian Yue:

"You go find out where Yuan Hong has gone, and I’ll use a spell to investigate the situation inside."

Hearing Lin Feng’s arrangement, Qian Yue said to Qian Hua: "Come with me."

After Qian Yue finished speaking, Qian Hua immediately nodded at him. The two then quickly dashed toward other parts of the camp.

The speed of the cultivators was indeed quite fast; if it weren’t to relax themselves, they wouldn’t need to ride in carriages.

After Qian Yue and Qian Hua left, Lin Feng immediately utilized his own spiritual power. Silently, he approached the edge of the barrier, beginning to find the flaws within, so he could penetrate it with his spiritual sense.

Every array has its own flaws, often stemming from the negligence of the one who set it up and the lack of understanding of the array itself.

The array in front of Lin Feng had just such a flaw.

That flaw was the barrier itself was activated to eliminate sound and prevent outsiders from entering.

It meant that as long as Lin Feng transformed his spiritual sense into something silent and invisible, he could penetrate such a barrier.

The silence of spiritual sense, achieved by using intention to push away all the surrounding air, was not something everyone could do; to make a certain space completely vacuum not only requires focused attention from a spellcaster but also immensely powerful mana.

In short, it’s quite complex and not something that can be explained clearly in a short time.

In sum, only a master at the peak of the Eight Spirit Knot in the Six Realms can achieve it.

Lin Feng met all these conditions. As he circulated the True Yuan within his body, the pure spiritual power released from the Innate Spiritual Seed fully integrated with the prohibition itself, not conflicting with the energy within the barrier.

The Innate Spiritual Seed is a pure energy carrier, meaning any energy could be assimilated by the spiritual power within the Innate Spiritual Seed. This spiritual power is like the source of all energies. When all energies and spiritual powers belong to the same origin, in such a guarding-type energy barrier of an array, there couldn’t possibly be any repulsion.

And so, Lin Feng had successfully infiltrated the prohibition set within Central Army’s tent. However, this was just the principle in theory. In reality, controlling this barrier was still far from within Lin Feng’s grasp.

However, the current situation was enough for Lin Feng to explore the environment inside completely.

As Lin Feng probed the situation inside the tent, the Armored Soldier stood outside watching, a slight smile on his face as he thought to himself.

"This Lin Feng guy really has some skill."

In his heart, he couldn’t help but set more precaution against Lin Feng. Thinking about someone like Lin Feng, if he couldn’t be used for his own ends, the best way would be to eliminate him.

Outside the camp, the lights were bright. The soldiers outside were very orderly, each performing their duties, unaware of the situation within the Central Army tent.

Inside the Central Army tent.

"Boss, if we don’t act now, I’m afraid something will go wrong and then we might be too late."

The strong man, speaking to the muscular man, looked eager, longing to raise his knife and strike at Chen Lang’s head.
