Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Tch! These demonic cultists from the Wusheng Sect are certainly willing to spend a fortune..."

Lu Feng spat out a mouthful of saliva, then looked around at the array cage again.

With the Yun family's limited resources and strength, let alone possessing a ninth-grade formation, they would have a hard time even managing a sixth-grade formation!

Therefore, the ancient scroll with a ninth-grade formation that Yun Ting just presented was most likely also made by the Wusheng Sect!

"I'll see just how tough this broken cage really is...!"

Calming his mind, Lu Feng unleashed another surge of Yuan Power from his dantian. At the same time, he raised his hand and slammed his fist into the array cage above his head, seemingly intending to break the array by brute force!

"Stop this kid!"

"Don't let this brat ruin the young master's grand plan!"

"Let's attack together!"

Seeing that Lu Feng was about to break through the formation, Wen Cai and the others also shouted and released their surging Yuan Power, which they then poured into the ancient scroll in the sky!

hum!

As a large amount of pure Yuan energy was injected into the ancient scroll, the scroll also burst out with a dazzling Xuan light, and at the same time shot out more black chains, which, like a storm, rapidly wrapped around Lu Feng below the ground.

boom...!

Click!Click!

Galo's fist force swept across the sky, then intertwined fiercely with countless black chains, producing a series of cracking sounds. However, the entire array cage remained as solid as a rock, without budging an inch!

"So hard...!"

Standing with his fist withdrawn, Lu Feng frowned slightly. "As expected of a ninth-grade formation, even though I've figured out the location of the formation's core and even used my full strength, I couldn't budge it an inch...!"

"Furthermore, these strange black chains seem to absorb elemental energy and convert it into an energy source for the formation...?"

Lu Feng glanced once more at the array cage surrounded by numerous black chains, his expression growing increasingly grave.

Admittedly, a mere group of weak Fengbo Tower assassins could not stop him at all.

However, with the ninth-grade formation bestowed by Yun Ting, the situation is quite different!

Even without these Fengbo Tower assassins making a move, they could trap Lu Feng here to death simply by relying on the power of a ninth-grade formation!

In addition, the black chains around them can forcibly absorb Yuan energy and neutralize most of Lu Feng's attacks. Unless a Yuan Hai Realm or higher expert takes action, it will be difficult for an ordinary Spirit Soul Realm martial artist to break through the formation!

"Young Master Lu, you seem to be in trouble..."

Just as Lu Feng was at his wit's end, Gu Canyang's mocking voice rang in his ears again, "Hehe, with your current strength and cultivation, it's quite a rare sight to be trapped here by a bunch of Opening Meridian Realm ants..."

"ancient?"

Lu Feng paused for a moment, then frowned again. "The situation is critical right now, I don't have time to joke with you..."

"Tsk tsk, you really have no sense of humor at all... Oh well!"

Seeing Lu Feng's solemn expression and lack of interest in responding, Gu Canyang also curled his lips, then stroked his long beard and said, "Now that I have appeared, I naturally have a way to help you break the formation."

"Break the formation?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was initially taken aback, then his face lit up with excitement. "Old Gu, do you perhaps have a way to break this ninth-grade formation before us?!"

"nonsense!"

Gu Canyang rolled his eyes at Lu Feng again and said somewhat irritably, "Don't forget how I used to make a living..."

"Although I am not skilled in alchemy and know nothing about weapon forging, I have devoted myself to the art of array formation and talisman making for many years and am well-versed in it. What is it to dismantle a mere ninth-grade array right now!"

Gu Canyang looked confident and calm, clearly not bragging.

"Old man, in crucial moments we really have to rely on you!"

Seeing the other party's confidence, Lu Feng wisely flattered him.

Because he suddenly remembered that back at the site of the Loyal King's Tomb, Gu Canyang had easily dispelled the Canghai Illusionary Spirit Diagram of the Canghai Sect a thousand years ago by relying on his Sorrow and Joy Finger Technique. Now, a mere ninth-grade formation would naturally not be able to stop the opponent!

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of Gu Canyang's remnant soul floated out from inside the treasure basin. He then turned to look at Lu Feng beside him, "Lu family brat, you should know where the array's core is, right?"

Although breaking the formation is not difficult, as long as the formation core remains, the black chains around it will continue to attack, forming new formation cages.

Therefore, if Lu Feng wants to eliminate future troubles, he must destroy the array eyes on the ancient scroll.

"Um...!"

Nodding slightly, Lu Feng looked again at the group of Fengbo Tower assassins around him, "Those strange black chains can absorb Yuan energy. As long as I can break through the blockade of those black chains, I can instantly destroy the array's core and escape alive!"

"As for those mere ants at the Qi Opening Realm, they can't stop me at all!"

"Let's do it!"

Without further ado, Gu Canyang leaped forward instantly, simultaneously unleashing a "Sorrow and Joy Finger Technique" from afar, pointing directly at the ancient scroll in the sky above.

Click!

The moment Gu Canyang made his move, the ancient scroll also burst forth with a dazzling light, followed by a large number of black chains that intertwined and attacked, attempting to stop the opponent.

"My turn next!"

Seeing that the black chains were completely drawn to Gu Canyang, Lu Feng stomped his feet on the ground and instantly soared into the air. At the same time, he raised his hand and shot out a dragon's breath, pointing directly at the ancient scroll in the sky.

"A wisp of a remnant soul? And it can even fly?"

"Is this old man a human or a ghost?!"

"Not good! This boy intends to destroy the array's core! Stop him!"

Upon seeing this, Wen Cai and the others, who were leading the group, were also shocked and rushed forward to stop Lu Feng.

"court death!"

Faced with Wen Cai and the others' obstruction, Lu Feng didn't even turn his head and threw a punch with his backhand. A fierce burst of Yuan Power swept out and then transformed into a giant palm, which immediately slapped the former away, splattering blood on the spot!

Although these assassins from Fengbo Tower were Yun Ting's confidants, most of them had low cultivation levels. Even the leaders among them, such as Wen Cai, were only at the first or second level of the Spirit Soul Realm, far inferior to the former Yun Wu Hui. Naturally, they couldn't stop Lu Feng at the moment!

Rumble...!

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, and the ancient scroll in the sky above instantly shattered into three pieces, turning into dust and disappearing completely!

Click...! Click...!

As the ancient scroll was destroyed, the surrounding array cages and a large number of eerie black chains gradually dissipated until they finally turned into nothingness!

The so-called ninth-grade grand formation is nothing special!

"Young Master Lu, it's up to you now..."

"Heh, be careful, don't die too young..."

The moment the array cage and black chains dissipated and crumbled, Gu Canyang's wisp of remnant soul gradually became transparent and blurry, before disappearing again, as if his meager soul power had been exhausted.

"You can rest assured, I'm tough as nails!"

After escaping, Lu Feng glanced in the direction where Gu Canyang had disappeared, then turned and left without looking back.

"Miss Ren, Senior Xu, I'll be right back...!"

"You guys have to hold on!"

As Lu Feng sped toward the Qianqing Hall of the Imperial Palace, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes filled with worry.

After all, the entire palace is currently surrounded by Yun family warriors and Wusheng sect members, and the Qianqing Palace is outnumbered. If Lu Feng doesn't get back soon, Consort Ren and the others will surely die!
