Tianji Pavilion's "self-destruction" was like a huge stone, smashing into the deep and unstable water of Tianxuan City, setting off huge waves.
That night, the fighting in the west of the city continued until dawn.
At the branch of Tianji Pavilion in Tianxuan City, all the masters came out and fought against the silver-armored guards of the Law Enforcement Hall. In the end, it came to an end after Ling Jianxin personally took action and severely wounded "Mr. Wen" with a sword.
The branch of Tianji Pavilion was seized, and dozens of people, including Deacon Wang, were imprisoned in the strict dungeon of the Law Enforcement Hall.
This result shocked the entire Tianxuan City.
No one expected that the sword of the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall would really dare to chop down the towering tree of Tianji Pavilion.
For a moment, all the forces were silent. Those who were still secretly making moves and wanted to see Tianxuan City's jokes all shrank their heads at this moment, fearing that they would be the next one to be targeted.
The atmosphere in the city is unprecedentedly depressing, but it is also unprecedentedly "pure".
At least, this is the case for Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen.
"High, really high!"
In Tingyuxuan Inn, Xiao Wuhen was nibbling on spiritual fruits while listening to various gossips coming from outside. He gave Ye Feng a thumbs up. The expression on his face was one of admiration, surprise, and a little bit of luck in surviving the disaster.
"Now, everyone's attention has been attracted to Tianji Pavilion. It is said that Ling Jianxin was in the dungeon, personally interrogating Mr. Wen, using all possible methods, trying to pry out the secret about "Stars as Guides" from his mouth. No one cares about identity rubbings or suspicious persons anymore."
"It's just a routine operation." Ye Feng was lying on the bed, with his legs crossed, holding an ancient formation diagram he found somewhere in his hand, reading with gusto, "To a hungry wolf, throw a piece of meat that is bigger, fatter, and looks more like a murderer. Naturally, it will not care about the two little ants at its feet."
"But..." Xiao Wuhen changed the topic and frowned again, "I always feel that things will not be that simple. Although Tianji Pavilion acts secretly, they are not the real masterminds behind the scenes. Ling Jianxin is not a fool. When he calms down and finds that nothing substantial can be found from Tianji Pavilion, I am afraid he will still cast suspicious eyes on the whole city again."
p>"Of course it's not that simple." Ye Feng turned a page of the book and said without raising his head, "I didn't expect that I could rely on Tianji Pavilion to get through it completely. I just need a little time, a little time not to be disturbed."
"Time? What are you going to do?" Xiao Wuhen asked curiously.
Ye Feng did not answer. He put down the book in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.
His mind, like a wisp of blue smoke, penetrated the roof of the inn, penetrated the hustle and bustle of the city, penetrated the thick clouds, and spread silently towards the towering Tianshu Peak.
His spiritual consciousness bypassed the layers of restrictions around the formation with ease. These are natural defenses for others, but for him who has mastered the backdoor of the "virus", they are useless.
Soon, he "saw" the "Xunfeng" node shrouded in a golden light curtain.
Ling Jianxin’s seal is indeed much better than Xuanjizi’s, like a golden cage, locking the “Heart-Corrupting Demon” inside.
But Ye Feng’s target is not this evil spirit.
His mind continued to sink, and then sink again.
Like a ghost, it passed through the evil spirit and the energy circuit of the formation. Finally, it touched the unique rune that was imprinted by him and constructed from the origin of the dragon soul and the origin of the stars.
"Buzz——"
The moment his mind connected with the rune, an indescribable feeling flooded into his mind.
His consciousness merged with the entire city defense formation in an instant.
He "heard" the large array of energy flowing, like the roar of a rushing river.
He "saw" thirty-six thousand formation nodes, like stars in the night sky, echoing each other, forming a vast and mysterious picture.
In the very center of this picture, the so-called "Nine Sky Floating Cloud Core" is emitting light and heat like the sun.
But, this is not the point.
The key point is that it is directly below the "Nine Heavens Floating Cloud Core", under the cover of endless light and heat, in the deepest part of the entire formation.
Ye Feng "saw" something.
That was a... crack. A bottomless space crack that seems to be able to swallow everything.
It is like an ugly scar under Tianxuan City, suppressed by the power of the entire city defense formation.
The light and heat of the "Nine Sky Floating Cloud Core" turned into billions of golden chains, binding this crack layer by layer to prevent it from expanding.
And from the depths of the crack, a kind of... ancient, chaotic, and extremely evil aura was seeping out... that even made Ye Feng feel palpitations.
That aura was different from any kind of demonic aura he had come into contact with before.
If the "Heart-Corrupting Demon" is a poisonous snake, then the aura seeping out of this crack is a...sleeping, terrifying beast from ancient times!
Ye Feng understood instantly.
This city defense formation is not designed to defend against foreign enemies at all.
Its real function is to suppress!
Suppress this terrifying crack leading to an unknown place!
The so-called "Nine Heavens Floating Cloud Core" is not an energy core at all. It is a "token", a huge "Sealed Eye"!
The reason why the Holy Land is so tense is not because the formation is contaminated, but because the "Heart-corroding Demon" he implanted has weakened the power of the seal to a certain extent!
What they are afraid of is that the crack is out of control, and that the things behind the crack... run out!
"Good guy..."
Ye Feng's mind retreated from the formation, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He felt as if he had unintentionally uncovered a huge secret.
This secret is far more terrifying than the conspiracy of the "All Souls Gathering into One God Refining Formation" in the Holy Land.
He is now holding a remote control in his hand that can detonate this "nuclear bomb" at any time.
This is no longer playing with fire.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so white?" Xiao Wuhen looked at Ye Feng's changing expression and noticed something was wrong.
"It's nothing." Ye Feng took a deep breath, forced down the shock in his heart, and put on a smile again, "I just found something...very interesting."
He needs time now to think carefully about how to use this shocking discovery.
Is it to be used as an ultimate trump card and hidden forever?
Or... at a critical moment, use it to leverage greater interests?
Just when he was thinking a lot.
"Dong, dong, dong."
The door was knocked.
The eyes of Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen froze at the same time.
This knock on the door is all too familiar to them.
It is the secret code of Tianxuan City.
Three long and two short.
It was the black-clothed demon cultivator who had been tricked by him by using the trick of "stealing others from others". When he was confronting the Tianxuan City disciples in the alley, he heard the corresponding code signal coming from the other side of the wall.
But now, outside is the corridor of the inn. Who is knocking on the door?
