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

Compared to his previous journey into the depths of the mantle, Lin Feng's cultivation had improved by two minor realms, but the immense pressure still rendered him unable to move.

Fortunately, he had the little Pixiu with him, which helped Lin Feng withstand some of the pressure.

Under the immense pressure of the earth's veins, the man and the beast struggled forward, and after a long time, they finally saw the array runes hidden deep within the earth's veins.

Lin Feng sneered.

"I can't completely destroy the mountain-suppressing formation! But you shouldn't expect to use it smoothly either."

Lin Feng took out his personal jade pendant.

The jade pendant, placed together with the Bone-Illuminating Mirror, had already absorbed a considerable amount of power. Under Lin Feng's urging, all the power was concentrated on a single point and then violently blasted towards the array runes.

"boom!"

Deep underground, the violent explosion didn't travel far before turning into a very muffled tremor.

The array runes were also shattered to pieces by the explosion.

In this way, although it cannot completely stop the formation from operating, the missing talismans will cause some inexplicable problems to occur in the formation.

The people from Xuanqing Temple would need to enter the earth's veins to investigate, which is something they absolutely cannot do.

"Let them have their headaches!"

"withdraw!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Feng immediately took the little Pixiu and returned the way they came.

Zhou Chongguang, along with several disciples, was stationed at Chongyang Valley, closely monitoring the operation of the formation.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and the entire Chongyang Valley trembled violently.

Zhou Chongguang dared not delay and rushed to the center of the formation. With the help of Venerable Xuanming's magic weapon, he stabilized the formation. Although the formation was still operating, the power it drew from the earth veins was obviously much weaker.

Having made ample preparations beforehand, Zhou Zhongguang immediately concluded that the problem lay with the earth's veins.

"Could it be an aftershock of the earthquake?"

"No, only Chongyang Valley is shaking. Could someone be sabotaging us?"

Zhou Zhongguang quickly realized that the two disciples had gone to deal with Yun Shu and hadn't returned yet.

"not good!"

Zhou Chongguang arranged for several disciples to stay behind, while he quickly rushed to Chongyang Valley. With the help of Venerable Xuanming's magic weapon, his divine sense was rapidly amplified, and he began to conduct a thorough search of the entire Chongyang Valley.

Soon, he found Yun Shu on guard near a crack.

"You bitch!"

Zhou Chongguang cursed angrily, and his whole body transformed into a streak of light, charging straight towards Yun Shu.

Yun Shu also noticed that she was enveloped by murderous aura. If she escaped now, she might still have a chance, but Lin Feng was still deep in the earth vein. If she left, wouldn't that leave Lin Feng in a deadly situation?

"We need to lure Zhou Zhongguang away!"

Before Zhou Chongguang could rush over, Yun Shu shouted at him.

"I have already killed your two disciples!"

After saying that, Yun Shu immediately rushed towards the outer edge of the valley.

However, to Yun Shu's surprise, Zhou Zhongguang was not fooled at all.

Although Zhou Chongguang was extremely angry at this moment, he did not lose his mind. He keenly realized that Yun Shu alone was not enough to penetrate deep into the earth veins and cause damage, which meant that there was someone else inside the earth veins.

Therefore, he did not chase after Yun Shu, but stopped at the edge of the crack.

"Who is it?"

Upon seeing this, Yun Shu felt a chill run down her spine.

"Oh no!"

Just then, Lin Feng, with the little Pixiu, finally arrived at the entrance of the crevice. He looked up and didn't see Yun Shu, but he saw Zhou Zhongguang's cold eyes staring at him.

"It's you!"

Zhou Zhongguang recognized Lin Feng, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Fang Bo and the others who were previously responsible for guarding Chongyang Valley had been chasing Lin Feng without success.

They wanted to figure out Lin Feng's secrets or seize the treasures he possessed.

Now that Lin Feng has returned, he has walked right into a trap.

Zhou Zhongguang said with a smile.

"I never expected this, there was actually an unexpected bonus."

Yun Shu rushed over, gathering all her spiritual power, and charged towards Zhou Chongguang.

"Lin Feng, I'll hold him off, you run!"

The difference in their cultivation levels was like a chasm; even Yun Shu's all-out attack was easily dodged by Zhou Zhongguang.

A disdainful look appeared on Zhou Zhongguang's lips, and then with a casual wave of his hand, a tremendous force poured out towards Yun Shu.

"what!"

Yun Shu was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up blood.

Lin Feng didn't dare to delay and rushed out immediately, healing Yun Shu's injuries while channeling spiritual energy into her body.

Zhou Zhongguang did not stop them, but looked down at Lin Feng and Yun Shu with an extremely mocking expression.

"Lin Feng, you still have a chance to speak."

"Tell me, how exactly did you do that?"

"Why has your cultivation level increased so rapidly? How were you able to survive deep within the earth's veins?"

"Tell me all your secrets, and maybe I can spare your life."

Lin Feng did not answer. Instead, he treated Yun Shu's injuries while cautiously observing his surroundings and constantly thinking of a way to escape.

Zhou Zhongguang had already guessed Lin Feng's thoughts, and he sneered.

"Lin Feng, the Spirit Escape technique is a low-level escape technique and is no longer useful."

"If you try to escape, I can catch up with you immediately."

As a powerful cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, Zhou Zhongguang was extremely fast and had no fear of Lin Feng's Spirit Escape Technique.

After all, Lin Feng's Spirit Escape Technique can only cover a few dozen miles at most, which Zhou Chongguang can catch up with in an instant.

He wasn't worried at all that Lin Feng would escape.

At this moment, after a period of deep thought, Lin Feng indeed felt extremely powerless.

The difference in their levels is too great.

Whether he flees or fights, he has no chance of winning.

The killing of two Core Formation demonic cultivators in Yin Pass was accomplished under extremely special conditions.

Now, that opportunity is gone.

"call."

Knowing that a direct confrontation would be futile, Lin Feng had no choice but to resort to strategy.

He stood up with a big smile on his face and said to Zhou Zhongguang.

"Elder Zhou, I do have some secrets, and I can tell you, but..."

"what!"

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and couldn't help but let out a scream.

He looked down and found that Zhou Zhongguang had pierced through his shoulder.

"you!"

Zhou Zhongguang said coldly.

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"

"Don't even think about stalling for time. I'm only giving you a few words! If you dare to try anything else, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The pain in his shoulder instantly brought Lin Feng back to his senses.

Zhou Chongguang is ruthless and not easily fooled.

But if I tell the truth, will the other party let me off the hook?

Lin Feng had absolutely no faith in the character of the people in Xuanqing Temple.

But what can I do if I don't say anything?

Seeing that Lin Feng was still hesitating, Zhou Zhongguang snorted and slowly raised his right hand.

Spiritual energy condensed at Zhou Zhongguang's fingertips, and this time, he aimed for Lin Feng's thigh.

"Still not going to tell?"

"Whoosh!"

The spiritual energy arrow shot out, heading straight for Lin Feng's thigh.

Lin Feng tried to dodge, but he was simply not fast enough.

"It's over!"

Just as Lin Feng's leg was about to be ruined, at the critical moment, a hurried roar suddenly came from afar.

"stop!"
