Chapter 3409 - Linghu Yuhua
"Sure enough, the treasures of this grand formation are not that easily obtainable."
"As matters stand, it seems that I have no choice but to remove the suppression of the grand formation."
Seeing that the situation had gone amiss, Grandmaster Liangqiu sighed and made a decision.
He was planning to remove the suppression of the grand formation and personally enter it to save Chu Feng and the others.
"Grandmaster Liangqiu, please don't be so anxious just yet. Perhaps the situation is not as bad as you imagine it to be."
Right at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Grandmaster Liangqiu.
Turning around, a figure slowly walked toward Grandmaster Liangqiu.
It was an aged old lady. Although very sparse, she had a head of snow-white hair.
Her face was covered in wrinkles. She was extremely old, so old that her back was hunched. Age had left very heavy traces on her face, so much so that it was already impossible for one to determine how she had looked in her youth, whether beautiful or ugly.
From her current appearance, she was extremely ugly, even frighteningly so, due to how aged she looked.
However, that old lady emitted an extraordinary air.
That sort of extraordinary air was definitely impossible to possess unless one possessed a powerful cultivation and had experienced corresponding trials and tribulations.
That old lady was naturally not an ordinary individual. She was one of the Linghu Heavenly Clan's eight Supreme Elders, Linghu Yuhua.
Like Grandmaster Liangqiu, Linghu Yuhua was also an Utmost Exalted-level expert. She was one of the strongest existences in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
Upon seeing Linghu Yuehua, Grandmaster Liangqiu did not reveal any surprise at all.
A genius of Linghu Hongfei's caliber was the Linghu Heavenly Clan's future. The Linghu Heavenly Clan wouldn't possibly allow him to travel outside on his own. He was most definitely protected by a top expert.
As for Linghu Yuhua, she was the top expert that was secretly protecting him.
"Here, see with this," as Linghu Yuhua spoke, she took out a copper mirror from her sleeve.
Through that copper mirror, Grandmaster Liangqiu was actually able to see the current situation of Chu Feng and the others.
The copper mirror was focused on Linghu Hongfei. Thus, its range was limited. Fortunately, Chu Feng was within its range.
At that moment, black gaseous flames had surrounded Chu Feng and the others.
Both Chu Feng and Linghu Hongfei had unleashed their respective spirit power to resist the black gaseous flames that were surrounding them.
"Sure enough, Linghu Hongfei is already a Dragon Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist," as Linghu Hongfei had released his spirit power inside the spirit formation, Grandmaster Liangqiu finally learned his current level in terms of world spirit techniques.
Dragon Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist, that was Linghu Hongfei's current level.
However, upon seeing such power from Linghu Hongfei, not only did Grandmaster Liangqiu not have an expression of surprise or joy, he instead felt deep regret.
"Linghu Hongfei is only a fine line away from becoming a Saint-cloak World Spiritist. Are you all really planning to do this?"
"If you all are to succeed this time, he will really have no way to turn things around," Grandmaster Liangqiu said to Linghu Yuhua.
"That is his own decision. We can only choose to respect it," Linghu Yuhua said.
"So that's the case," Grandmaster Liangqiu spoke no more. Instead, he began to focus on the copper mirror with a serious expression.
Even though the black gaseous flames were being held back by Chu Feng and Linghu Hongfei's spirit power, Grandmaster Liangqiu could tell just by looking at them that the black gaseous flames were very remarkable.
The black gaseous flames were fatal!!!
Originally, the people inside the spirit formation all felt extremely afraid upon seeing such frightening flames. The reason for that was because the black gaseous flames were so powerful that they simply could not resist them with their martial power.
Fortunately, Linghu Hongfei and Chu Feng had joined hands, and managed to successfully resist the black gaseous flames.
"Young master Linghu, never would I have imagined that you were already a Dragon Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist. It would appear that you must be the youngest Saint-cloak World Spiritist that Exalted Heavenly Fate prophesied."
"Fortunately, you're here with us, otherwise, we would've likely ended up suffering this time around."
The two Tantai Heavenly Clan's younger generations began to praise Linghu Hongfei with expressions of adoration on their faces.
"Chu Feng, you must be having great difficulty persisting, right? If you can't continue, just go ahead and say it. My big brother Hongfei will not leave you behind," Linghu Lun mocked Chu Feng.
The reason for that was because compared to Linghu Hongfei, who had managed to push the black gaseous flames further and further away, the black gaseous flames around Chu Feng were growing closer and closer to him.
A clear-cut contrast had been formed between the two.
"Unable to persist? Which eye of yours saw that I was unable to persist?"
Chu Feng cast a glance at Linghu Lun like he was looking at a fool.
Although the black gaseous flames were getting closer to him, Chu Feng had a very relaxed expression. He did not appear like someone who was facing an imminent catastrophe at all.
"You're still refusing to admit it? Very well, I shall see how much longer you can continue," Linghu Lun gnashed his teeth furiously. He had never met someone as thick-skinned at Chu Feng before.
No matter what sort of situation he was in, Chu Feng always remained composed and indifferent. Furthermore, he would leave Linghu Lun speechless every single time.
Faced with such a Chu Feng, Linghu Lun felt truly helpless.His humiliating insults were completely ineffective. Instead, Chu Feng's retort ended up making him more and more furious.
"Chu Feng, no one will care if something is to happen to you. However, if something is to happen to our young miss, I will not let you get away with it!" One of the Tantai Heavenly Clan's younger generations actually threatened Chu Feng.
"Shut up! Don't be rude towards young master Chu Feng!" Tantai Xing'er actually berated that person with a furious look on her face.
The sudden rebuke from Tantai Xing'er not only shocked the Tantai Heavenly Clan's younger generations, but it also shocked the Linghu Heavenly Clan's younger generations.
Although Tantai Xing'er was the number one genius of the Tantai Heavenly Clan, she was a very good-natured person, and was famous for her good temperament. Very rarely did she ever get angry with anyone.
For her to act like that, it meant that she was really angered.
"It's fine, it's fine. Things will clear up eventually, and the truth will soon be revealed. It's normal for them to not understand. However, they would eventually come to understand," faced with Linghu Lun's insults and that Tantai Heavenly Clansman's threat, Chu Feng had a beaming smile on his face. It was as if he did not place them in his heart at all.
"Brother Chu Feng, don't worry. Once I finish pushing away the black flames in the surroundings, I will go and help you," Linghu Hongfei said.
"Brother Linghu, there's really no need for it. You must not help me. Otherwise, it will ruin my plan," Chu Feng said.
"You are truly one that's unable to appreciate another's kind intentions. Brother Hongfei, don't bother with him. Let him seek his own destruction," Linghu Yueyue spoke angrily.
Linghu Yueyue was also enraged by Chu Feng. How could there be a person like Chu Feng? He was on the verge of failure, yet not only did he refuse another's help, but he even said that they would ruin his plan?
"That's right. If he wants to die, let him die," the other geniuses from the Linghu Heavenly Clan added.
They were truly enraged by Chu Feng.
Linghu Hongfei had said that he would help, yet Chu Feng actually refused him. His action was truly that of someone who was incapable of differentiating good from bad.
However, compared to the other Linghu Heavenly Clan's younger generations, Linghu Hongfei suddenly noticed the transformation that was occurring between Chu Feng's spirit formation and the black gaseous flames. The black gaseous flames were not only approaching Chu Feng. Instead, a transformation had occurred to the black gaseous flames. Furthermore, it seemed that the black gaseous flames were fusing with Chu Feng's spirit formation!!!
Seeing that, Linghu Hongfei hurriedly asked Chu Feng, "Brother Chu Feng, could it be that you've discovered something?"
"It would appear that brother Linghu has noticed it. Sure enough… you are the only intelligent person in your Linghu Heavenly Clan," Chu Feng took a mocking glance at Linghu Yueyue and the others as he said those words.
Chapter 3410 - The Black Flames' Secret
"What did you just say?! Are you trying to die?!" Linghu Yueyue raised her little face and asked in a very furious manner.
"Yueyue, don't be rude," however, right after Linghu Yueyue voiced her anger, Linghu Hongfei immediately scolded her.
Very rarely did Linghu Hongfei get angry. Thus, Linghu Lun and the others who were also planning to curse Chu Feng out immediately shut their mouths.
Even Linghu Yueyue, who was furious, did not say anymore.
"Brother Chu Feng, we are currently on the same boat. If you have discovered something, could you inform me about it?" Linghu Hongfei asked Chu Feng.
"It's actually nothing too serious. I believe that even if I don't say anything, brother Linghu, with your observation ability, will soon discover it too."
"Actually, the black flames is the power that can allow our spirit power to increase," Chu Feng said.
"Ah?" Once Chu Feng said those words, everyone became greatly alarmed. Even the Liangqiu Sisters and Linghu Hongfei were alarmed.
"Young master Chu Feng, you're saying that these frightening black flames are the treasures left behind by the World Spiritist Immortal King?" Tantai Xing'er asked.
"That's correct," Chu Feng nodded.
"Nonsense! The black flames are so frightening that one will definitely die upon making contact with them, how could it possibly be the treasure?"
"Big brother Hongfei, you must not believe him. That guy must be planning to kill us," Linghu Yueyue said.
"It's up to you all whether or not you believe me," the smile on Chu Feng's face remained the same. He did not care about what they felt at all. Instead, he turned around and looked at Tantai Xing'er and the others, "Since we've entered this place, there's no way out anymore. If you want to survive, you'll have to assimilate the black gaseous flames. Otherwise, there will only be a path to death."
"Only by assimilating the black gaseous flames will they not harm you. Otherwise… they will view you as enemies, and take your life."
"Thus, use your spirit power to assimilate with the black gaseous flames. The deeper the assimilation, the safer you'll be."
"I have already decreased the danger level of the black gaseous flames. As for what degree of assimilation you all can reach, it will be up to you," after Chu Feng finished saying those words, he formed a different hand seal, and the black gaseous flames penetrated through Chu Feng's spirit power and began to slowly approach him and the others.
Merely, at that moment, everyone present could sense that the black gaseous flames that managed to penetrate Chu Feng's spirit power had really undergone a change.
Furthermore, those black gaseous flames seemed to already be under Chu Feng's control. It was Chu Feng who was controlling the black gaseous flames, and having them slowly approach Tantai Xing'er and the others.
"Are you prepared?" Chu Feng asked.
"Mn," Tantai Xing'er, the Liangqiu Sisters and Wuma Shengjie nodded.
"Woosh~~~"
In the next instant, the speed of the black gaseous flames suddenly accelerated. Then, like a bunch of beasts, they completely enveloped Chu Feng and the others.
At that moment, Chu Feng, Tantai Xing'er, Liangqiu Sisters and Wuma Shengjie all revealed expressions of pain to varying degrees.
Tantai Xing'er revealed the most painful expression. Following her were the Liangqiu Sisters, whilst Wuma Shengjie's situation was better than theirs.
Only Chu Feng's expression looked the most normal. However, the deep frown on his face and his slightly trembling body revealed that he was undergoing immense pain too.
"Eeeaahhh~~~"
Soon, Tantai Xing'er started to shout in pain.
Following her, the Liangqiu Sisters also began to scream out in pain. Not even Wuma Shengjie was able to keep herself from screaming.
Witnessing that scene, the two Tantai Heavenly Clan's younger generations became extremely worried.
If something was to happen to Tantai Xing'er, they would not be able to take responsibility for it upon their return.
Seeing that the situation was very bad, they wanted to request Linghu Hongfei's help to save Tantai Xing'er.
However, before they could say anything, Linghu Hongfei suddenly spoke, "It would appear that brother Chu Feng's observation is correct. Everyone, prepare yourselves. If you want to survive, you'll have to assimilate with the black flames."
Linghu Hongfei suddenly said those words to Linghu Yueyue and the others after observing the black flames.
"Ah?"
Hearing those words, Linghu Tiemian and the others all became extremely frightened.
They had already witnessed how terrifying the black flames were, and the suffering that Tantai Xing'er and the others were undergoing at that moment.
Yet, even in such a situation, Linghu Hongfei actually still believed in Chu Feng's words, and wanted them to end up in the same sort of situation. With that, how could they not be afraid?
"Big brother Hongfei, you're not joking around, right? You really believe that guy's words?" Linghu Yueyue asked.
"Yueyue, no matter what, you're an Insect Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist. Carefully sense the black flames," Linghu Hongfei said.
"I've sensed them already. Apart from danger, I am unable to sense anything else," Linghu Yueyue said.
"Even you failed to sense it?" Linghu Hongfei seemed to have understood something. Thus, he set up a spirit formation and sealed off a small portion of the black flames and altered them. Then, he said, "Try sensing them now."
Linghu Yueyue sensed the black flames that Linghu Hongfei had sealed away. In the next moment, she revealed an incomparably astonished expression on her exceptional little face, "Big brother Hongfei, could it be that these black gaseous flames are truly the treasures left by the World Spiritist Immortal King?"
"That should be the case," Linghu Hongfei said.
As matters stood, they were practically certain that what Chu Feng had said was true.
However, the others remained extremely scared. After all, the black gaseous flames were so very terrifying. Thus, what they were worried about was whether or not they would really be able to assimilate with the black gaseous flames.
As for Linghu Yueyue, she took a glance at Chu Feng, who was standing not far away from them. There was a complicated expression in her beautiful eyes.
She had truly never expected for the person to see through the black gaseous flames to not be her Dragon Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist big brother Linghu Hongfei, but the extremely unreliable-looking Chu Feng.
Afterwards, Linghu Hongfei also used his spirit power to decrease the dangers of the black gaseous flames. Then, he allowed the black gaseous flames to enter.
Although Linghu Tiemian and the others were unwilling to assimilate with the black gaseous flames, they had no choice but to confront them.
Once the black gaseous flames enveloped them, apart from Linghu Hongfei and Linghu Yueyue, everyone else began to scream miserably. Some among them even began to roll around. They simply did not appear to be people that were assimilating with the black gaseous flames. Instead, they appeared to be purely undergoing torture by the black gaseous flames.
Likely, they were already regretting entering the formation. That place was completely different from what they'd imagined it to be.
There were even people among them that started to plead for help from Linghu Hongfei, hoping that he would be able to help them.
Perhaps because of the spirit formation swords, Linghu Hongfei's situation was the same as Chu Feng's. Although he had an expression of pain on his face, he was still able to tolerate the pain.
However, Linghu Hongfei completely ignored the pleas of help from the others. The reason for that was because he had discovered the secret to the black flames.
One would be able to obtain the power of the black flames through assimilation. The higher the degree of one's assimilation, the more power one would obtain.
However, the power within the black flames was limited. Thus, if one wanted to obtain more power, one must assimilate with the black flames faster.
Linghu Hongfei wanted to become a Saint-cloak World Spiritist. Thus, he would naturally not allow himself to miss out on such an opportunity.
As such, he had no heart to concern himself with helping others.
