I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

Lin Feng had been immersed in the ocean of spiritual energy and was completely unaware of the changes in the outside world. He only remembered that in a daze, he felt an extremely strong fluctuation.

Now, seeing the broken earth veins, I guessed it was an earthquake.

He quickly turned around and searched around, and sure enough, he found many cracks deep in the earth's veins that led directly to the surface.

This is the power of an earthquake, severing the earth's veins.

"I wonder if the people from Xuanqing Temple have left."

"It's best to be careful."

Following the crack, Lin Feng, with the little Pixiu in tow, carefully moved towards the surface. He discovered that the formation that had originally covered the entire Chongyang Valley had now dissipated, and apart from a few scattered individuals, there were no other cultivators left.

"It seems they've all left."

Before Lin Feng could even catch his breath, the sight of dark clouds filling the sky and a menacing aura left him speechless with shock.

"This... an endless stream of Yin energy is spreading!"

"What! What on earth is going on?!"

"Could it be that the rapid loss of Yin energy from the earth's ley lines was due to this?"

Lin Feng was completely bewildered by the sudden changes, but he was certain that they were related to Xuanqing Temple.

He already had a grudge against Xuanqing Temple, and with this overwhelming malevolent aura, who knows what would happen if he didn't leave now.

Fear and caution prompted Lin Feng to make a quick judgment.

run!

Stay far away!

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Feng fled. To conceal himself and avoid being discovered by Xuanqing Temple, he did not release his spiritual energy to fly, but instead walked quickly through the mountains and forests.

On the way, Lin Feng observed his surroundings and was horrified to discover that the overwhelming malevolent energy had already covered Zhongzhou and was about to spread outwards.

"It seems we can't stay in Zhongzhou any longer."

"Let's get out of here first!"

Having made up his mind, Lin Feng quickened his pace. Just then, a shout came from above.

"Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng hurriedly turned his head and saw a familiar figure flying towards him.

"Fang Bo?!"

After Fang Bo was seriously injured by Lin Feng, his injuries had not yet healed, and he was unable to complete the mission originally assigned by the sect, so he was arranged to return to Chongyang Valley.

On one hand, he was to guard the Chongyang Valley formation and heal his injuries; on the other hand, he was to keep an eye on Lin Feng.

To prevent Lin Feng from escaping, he kept a close eye on the cracks left by the earthquake and sure enough, he discovered that Lin Feng had escaped.

"Trying to leave?! Dream on!"

Fang Bo, along with several elders, rushed towards Lin Feng.

"Foundation Establishment Level 3? You've broken through again?"

Fang Bo remembered clearly that when he fought Lin Feng a few days ago, Lin Feng's cultivation level was only the second level of Foundation Establishment. How come Lin Feng has leveled up again in just a few days?

"You can cultivate even within the ley lines?"

Faced with Fang Bo's question, Lin Feng sighed somewhat sadly, and then looked around for a moment.

Several elders had already surrounded Lin Feng.

They were all experts at the Golden Core stage, and it would be almost impossible for them to escape using ordinary methods.

Fortunately, they only surrounded Lin Feng; they hadn't formed a complete formation yet.

As long as Lin Feng can buy a little time and then escape using the Spirit Escape Technique, there shouldn't be any problem.

The release of the Spirit Escape Technique requires prior marking. If there is no marking, it will be like before, disappearing randomly, and it is unknown where it will disappear to.

However, Lin Feng couldn't care less about anything else right now; escaping was the priority.

Lin Feng's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly drew his sword, charging towards Fang Bo without saying a word.

Fang Bo snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"You think I'd fight you?"

Fang Bo did not retaliate immediately, but retreated quickly, hoping to create some space for the Core Formation elders around him to make a move.

Unexpectedly, before Lin Feng could even reach him, a flash of white light appeared, and he vanished without a trace.

Fang Bo immediately realized what was happening.

"Spirit Escape Technique!"

Several elders sneered and said.

"The Spirit Escape Technique only covers a few dozen miles; there's no way he can escape."

These elders at the Golden Core stage weren't worried at all.

In their view, the Spirit Escape Technique was just a trivial trick, only enough to travel a few dozen miles. As long as they locked onto Lin Feng's aura, they could catch up in the blink of an eye.

However, what happened next left them all dumbfounded.

Lin Feng's aura began to shift back and forth, his movements unpredictable and erratic.

There was no pattern whatsoever in the east or south.

For a time, they were unable to locate Lin Feng at all.

"Him? How could he have escaped so many times?!"

As Lin Feng drifted further and further away, they could no longer lock onto his presence. Even if they wanted to chase after him, they had no way to do so.

"Damn it! He got away again!"

After a series of chaotic escapes, Lin Feng finally lost track of Fang Bo's presence and knew he was safe.

Lin Feng couldn't even count how many times he had used the Spirit Escape Technique, nor did he know where he was, but he could clearly sense that the spiritual energy in his body was almost exhausted.

He had run out of supplies in the jade pendant, so he needed to find a place to replenish them.

"Where is this?"

"Since there's no one around, let's rest in this forest."

Lin Feng concealed himself in the woods, sat cross-legged, and was about to draw qi into his body and circulate it throughout his body.

Just then, a blinding red light flashed across the horizon.

Looking up, I saw a red round shadow rising from the west amidst the rolling black clouds, as if the setting sun were rising in reverse.

Although it couldn't compare to the sun's brilliance, it was still a glimmer of light in the dark, oppressive sky.

Immediately afterwards, a sound as resounding as a great bell echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"Seale Qian, Zhen, Kan, and Li completely; not even a trace of Yin energy is allowed to escape!"

"The government and all factions in Zhongzhou, swiftly evacuate the innocent civilians from Kun Palace to prevent widespread bloodshed!"

"Apart from innocent civilians, all other cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level or sect affiliation, are strictly prohibited from leaving the formation! Anyone who trespasses will be executed without mercy!"

The voice was old, yet extremely domineering.

Lin Feng couldn't determine the source or distance of the sound; he only felt that the sound was coming from all over the mountains and fields.

It seemed to be everywhere, enveloping the world.

Therefore, it can be determined that the other party's cultivation level is at least Nascent Soul.

They're going to use an array to seal off Zhongzhou?!

Lin Feng was planning to recover quickly before leaving Zhongzhou.

Now things are really messed up; the entire Central Plains is sealed off by an array, and we can't get out!

Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Could this be the work of Xuanqing Temple? It can't be aimed at me, can it?"

"Whether they're targeting me or not, staying in this dangerous place is always risky. But they've sealed off Zhongzhou, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get out now."

"What should we do?"

Lin Feng racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good solution. He could only recover while thinking about it.

But before Lin Feng could even enter a meditative state, several more sounds of air being torn apart came from not far away.

A moment later, shouts of battle erupted again.

"You monster! How dare you!"
