This pool of flesh and blood is likely what Huang Yao mentioned before about the demons. Qianjizi and Zhu Feng looked embarrassed, unable to comprehend that Ye Feng and Lan Yuanfeng would strike so ruthlessly! This was akin to hitting someone to the point where they wouldn't recognize their own mother!
However, these two Martial Saints could not imagine that the cause of Bailuo's transformation from a bat into a bloody mess was not Ye Feng and Lan Yuanfeng, but rather the later emergence of Black Face, who consumed its flesh and blood through the demon's Supreme Technique to increase his cultivation. Such cruelty was indeed chilling!
"Old Zhu, now that we've reached this point, we must be close to Ye Feng. I think we should stop admiring these strange sights and hurry to find him! Just in case!" Qianjizi said as he watched Zhu Feng examining the astonishing architecture around them.
Although he was also very curious and wanted to understand more, this was not the right time!
Zhu Feng was pulled out of his stunned state by these words. He couldn't help but explain, "Old Master, it's not that I'm being careless; you haven't noticed the peculiarities of these buildings!"
Hearing this, it seemed that these structures had other functions. Qianjizi's interest was piqued, and he couldn't help but ask, "What have you noticed?"
Zhu Feng was the Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Mystic Array Hall. As the name suggests, it focused on Mystical Formations. These Mystical Formations were one of the few types used by martial artists, and those skilled in them were quite unique and rare, almost as precious as Alchemists! Why is that?
Because Array Masters usually require innate talent and a unique understanding of the mysterious powers of heaven and earth to become great in Mystical Formations! The value of Mystical Formations may not be evident in individual combat,
but in large-scale battles, an Array Master's worth can far exceed that of an Alchemist and can even determine the course of a fight! A Mystical Formation is formed through a martial artist's movement and comprehension of Heaven and Earth Origin Power, creating a Martial Technique similar to a buff effect!
This buff effect can take many forms, such as attack, defense, or even True Energy! In simpler terms, Refiner is responsible for a team's equipment, Alchemist handles pills, and when martial artists have both good equipment and pills in hand along with support from Beast Tamers' battle pets, they are truly formidable!
However, an Array Master can release a formation that perfectly resolves the power brought by equipment, pills, and pets while affecting multiple people! The implications of this are clear to anyone with even a slight understanding! Thus, Xuan Zhen Master Zhu Feng could be rated as one of the strongest Three Grand Hall Masters in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
Qianjizi understood that Old Zhu wouldn't speak without reason regarding this matter. He furrowed his brow as he sensed something special about these architectural ruins. However, even he could not discern anything different; if he could have discovered it, Lan Yuanfeng would have done so long ago! And so would Ye Feng!
Zhu Feng, being a talented Array Master with his unique understanding of the mysterious powers of heaven and earth, murmured: "These buildings appear to be for some kind of memorial purpose, but it's not just that. Do you see that broken high platform ahead? I suspect it was originally meant to be a focal point for a formation!"
"A focal point? Are you saying this is a grand formation?" Qianjizi said incredulously. According to Zhu Feng's explanation, it contradicted what Huang Yao and others had said before!
This architectural site seemed to serve merely as a memorial! It was akin to how some noble tombs might have terracotta warriors as burial companions; however, listening to Zhu Feng made it seem far more complex than that!
Zhu Feng nodded. As time passed, his senses became sharper, and he grew more resolute in his thoughts.
"This formation may not be the true formation of the Underground Palace, but it is a smaller array, perhaps meant to reinforce the real one. I can feel the very few traces of spiritual energy hidden within those structures. Due to the erosion of time, that Spirit Energy has diminished significantly; without being an Array Master, one would hardly sense it!"
Qianjizi believed his judgment but was puzzled. "So according to you, Zhu, this small array has been damaged?"
If the high platform was the eye of the array, then under such broken conditions, the formation could not possibly exist!
Zhu Feng quickly walked forward, confirming this suspicion and discovering that the interior of the high platform had been blocked by rubble. Perhaps there had been a collapse; in any case, it was impossible for them to enter here to find Ye Feng now!
However, this was no longer Zhu Feng's primary concern. What worried him was whether the ancient sleeping Titan would awaken as a result! This matter was crucial for the entire Divine Martial Continent!
"The formation has indeed been damaged! But it's not that serious. Based on my perception of the insufficient spiritual energy, if those Titans truly exist, this inadequate formation cannot contain them. My only concern is if the eye of the array that seals them has also been destroyed; that would be serious!"
Upon hearing this, Qianjizi slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then Zhu's words are overly cautious. This indicates that perhaps someone can still break into this small array; as for the true formation, it shouldn't be so easily breached!"
That made sense. If the true eye of Titan's Abyss could be easily destroyed by intruders, then the ancient giants would have awakened long ago. Unfortunately, they were unaware that at this moment, Ye Feng was attempting to do just that using a mysterious map provided by Echo within the Mural World!
A sense of unease began to rise within Zhu Feng. Ever since entering this Underground Palace, he felt as if unseen eyes were watching him! Yet he could not confirm it and could only feel strange about the mural he had seen upon entry.
He couldn't help but mention it: "Old Master, did you notice that mural we saw at first?"
Qianjizi paused and thought hard but surprisingly found no clues as Hall Master of Fate Hall. He casually remarked, "Oh! That's just a depiction recording ancient events; there's nothing worth worrying about!"
Hearing such words from this authority made Zhu Feng stop pondering further. He only hoped that his sense of crisis was unfounded. However, another dilemma emerged before them!
The interior of the high platform was blocked off, meaning they could no longer descend from here to search for Ye Feng. This almost severed their hopes of quickly finding him based on his trajectory; now that method was gone, and both began to contemplate other ways!
However, at that moment, a rustling sound came from the Underground Palace ruins. This sound was extremely faint, barely audible to an ordinary person, but who were the two individuals before it?
"Who!" The formidable Martial Saint Qianjizi suddenly shouted with great force! The power of his voice directly shook the source of the sound into visibility!
Zhu Feng focused his gaze, releasing a sharp killing intent! Anyone hiding in such a place must be up to no good! The rapid transformation of the two who had just smiled like Buddhas was truly unacceptable, which also indicated that their reputation as Martial Saints was well-deserved!
But upon seeing the source of the sound, both Qianjizi and Zhu Feng furrowed their brows, retracting their terrifying aura as they approached. It turned out to be a group wearing the insignias of Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower!
Coincidentally, this group included Liao Fan, Wang Wei, and others! Each of them looked embarrassed, having recognized the attire of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect Hall Master, yet still filled with fear! Although the Sky Abyss Empire Three Great Heavenly-Level Sects appeared amicable on the surface, internal conflicts had never ceased!
In such a place, being discovered while eavesdropping on someone else's conversation could easily lead to being silenced!
Wang Wei was filled with resentment as he glanced at Liao Fan, thinking it was all his fault for insisting on bringing them to explore this Underground Palace, and now they had ended up in such a predicament!
Liao Fan shot back with a glare! Who could have imagined that upon entering, they would encounter the initial crisis involving Ye Feng and be attacked by a group of Netherfire! If it weren't for Liao Fang's cleverness in discovering the hidden compartment of the black hole, they wouldn't have followed in the footsteps of their predecessors to reach this place!
In this vast world, coincidences abound; these two groups seemed to have been pushed by fate toward the same direction, but now that direction had abruptly ended!
Qianjizi recognized which sect they belonged to and naturally did not intend to kill them. He simply frowned in confusion and asked, "What are you doing here?" Huang Yao and others hadn't informed him that disciples from Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower were also involved here; honestly, even Cheng Ze and his group were unaware!
Gathering his courage, Liao Fan stepped forward respectfully and said, "We did not intend to overhear your conversation; we just heard some unusual sounds earlier and hid out of caution. We apologize for any offense caused. Additionally, we have already notified our respective sects, so I believe someone will come to retrieve us soon!"
A very clever response! He didn't explain why they were there but instead issued a subtle threat! By saying this, he was reminding Qianjizi that their sects were aware of their presence, so he should not act recklessly!
But what kind of people were these two Hall Masters? Zhu Feng couldn't help but scoff: "You young pup, don't play games with us. If we truly wanted to kill you, your sect would never find out even after a hundred years!" Given his nature, he certainly wouldn't engage in such acts; this was merely intimidation!
Indeed, Liao Fan and the others were frightened by this threat; their faces turned pale as they momentarily didn't know what to say. It was still Liao Fang, at a critical moment, who stepped forward and clearly explained what they had witnessed on the ground and their conversations with the demon clan, informing them why they had ended up there!
Curiosity is the root of it all!
However, after hearing this, Qianjizi and Zhu Feng felt a renewed sense of unease, even a strong sense of crisis. They never expected that the incident in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons was somehow connected to this place in an inexplicable way!
Zhu Feng anxiously said, "Are you saying that there are two powerful demon experts, and they mentioned something about the leader of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons?"
Liao Fang could sense the urgency in this Martial Saint's voice and did not dare to hide anything, recounting every word without omission.
After hearing this, Zhu Feng's expression grew heavier. "Old Master, it seems things have escalated beyond our expectations. We need to report to the Sect Master immediately and send Core Disciples to continue hunting that top Demon General in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. Regardless of the demons' intentions, we must nip this in the bud!"
Qianjizi nodded, fully aware of the gravity of the situation. However, they also had to consider Ye Feng's life or death. Moreover, Feng Zhengyang had already returned! He was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.
Zhu Feng noticed his hesitation and couldn't help but sigh. "Well, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. The matter concerning the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons has been ongoing for quite some time; I'm sure the Sect Master is already aware. For now, we should focus on handling Ye Feng's situation and then report back in full."
"Brother Zhu's words resonate with me!" Qianjizi exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Liao Fan and others were left confused, not understanding what these two Martial Saints from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were discussing. Only Liao Fang cleverly remembered Ye Feng's name!
