Chapter 1640 - 1623: Exposing the Conspiracy
God!
This! How can this be!
Connecting... space passage!
...
Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. They all knew what he meant, and it hit them hard—the realization that an enormous formation was hidden beneath their feet. The thought that if this formation were completed and the space passage opened caused everyone’s faces to turn as pale as paper. Now, they were filled with fear...
But Lin Feng’s words were not finished yet. His voice echoed again.
"I also have to tell you all, even if you obtain this sword, none of you can leave here, because the formation master Zhang Tianzhen has secretly set up a super formation under this mountain. His goal was never to let you all leave."
Since he had already pointed this out, Lin Feng had no qualms about revealing everything. His purpose was to let everyone see how foolish their actions were, focusing only on treasure hunting without realizing other important things. If he hadn’t come, these people would not even know how they died!
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the expressions on everyone’s faces turned even more unsightly. What Lin Feng said seemed entirely possible: Zhang Tianzhen had already become a formation master. If Zhang Tianzhen really set up a super formation under this mountain, there was no one here who could break it. By then, they really won’t know how they died.
The thought of all the things they triggered due to their treasure-hunting made everyone’s faces even more grim. Although Lin Feng’s words were hard to believe, they had to admit it was entirely feasible. If what Lin Feng said was true, then what they did this time was utterly absurd. Not to mention Lin Feng’s anger—they themselves would want to slap their own faces. If a space passage opened and connected two worlds, it would be a catastrophe for Earth’s cultivation world, and they would become sinners of the entire world.
"Lin Feng, is there any evidence for what you’re saying?" Although everyone basically believed Lin Feng’s words, Hu Nan still hoped they weren’t true. Lin Feng’s statements so far were based on deductions, and he wanted Lin Feng to provide evidence that what he just said was true.
When Hu Nan posed the question, everyone looked at Lin Feng with particular eyes. They all wanted to know if Lin Feng could provide evidence. If he could, they could truly believe his words.
"You want evidence? Fine, I’ll give you evidence!"
Hearing Hu Nan’s challenge, Lin Feng immediately sensed that these people still harbored some hope that he was lying. For such self-deceptive people, he wasn’t going to be polite. If evidence is what they want, then evidence is what they’ll get!
After speaking, Lin Feng, standing in mid-air, scanned those below. Then, Seven-Colored Gang Qi erupted from his body. His face contorted as others looked on, confused, and the unimaginable began to occur!
"Boom..."
Everyone felt the ground trembling beneath their feet. Soon, the ground began shaking continuously, and cracks appeared at everyone’s feet as if the Earth itself were splitting open. The situation left everyone stunned; without thinking, they fled in all directions. Once they escaped the cracked area, they stopped to look up at Lin Feng, unable to understand what he was doing.
Then they watched as the Seven-Colored Gang Qi from Lin Feng’s body burst downward toward the already-cracked Earth. In disbelief, they saw the gang qi shoot into the cracks, leaving them stupefied. They vaguely felt that Lin Feng was trying to lift the entire ground!
As a matter of fact, they weren’t wrong. Just as they thought this, the ground beneath them began shaking even more violently. It was akin to a massive earthquake, and everyone stared at Lin Feng in bewilderment. The hardness of the ground was well-known; not even a Divine Change Realm ancestor could damage it—yet Lin Feng was causing such a commotion! This was utterly astonishing!
But before they could finish marveling, a stupendous event occurred. The ground suddenly erupted with seven-colored light, and immense swathes of earth, spanning over two miles, began to disintegrate. This wasn’t like before; it was actual fragmentation, turning everything to sand. People’s eyes nearly popped out, wondering if Lin Feng was even human to accomplish this!
"Boom!"
Amidst everyone’s disbelief, the area exploded, sending soil and rocks flying like rain. Those nearby were buried under a deluge of dirt!
Facing this chaos, everyone panicked further, retreating swiftly nearly a hundred feet to avoid the rain of earth. When they finally redirected their gaze, everyone was thunderstruck...
Heavens!
How could this be!
This... is this the Blood Soul Heaven Connecting Array...
...
Now, the earth had a massive pit over two miles in diameter and tens of feet deep, like a hollowed-out expanse. At the bottom of this pit, an incredibly intricate formation was sketched out, glowing with eerie red light. Many areas were covered by red light, and a profound scent of blood was emitted, causing people nearby to wrinkle their brows!
Within the formation, less than a tenth was still glowing yellow. The rest was entirely enveloped in blood light, making even a fool understand that Lin Feng was indeed truthful. The formation was about to be fully activated. Without Lin Feng’s intervention, they would have cluelessly continued fighting. By the time the last tenth was covered with blood, everything would be over!
Realizing this, everyone immediately believed Lin Feng. They finally grasped the gravity of the situation. Unaware, they had almost created an irreversible disaster. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads as they trembled in fear, relieved that Lin Feng appeared; otherwise, they wouldn’t have known about the trap underground, nearly becoming global criminals.
At this point, the ancestors of all major forces were speechless, breaking into cold sweats themselves. Though powerful, reaching the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, how many on Earth achieved this? Meanwhile, on the other side, even random appearances could be at the Human Immortal Realm. If the space passage formed, apart from Lin Feng, who could stand against such super powerhouses...
Lin Feng observed the now-enlightened crowd below, wearing a mocking smile. Had he not arrived in time, the space passage might have been formed. By then, it would be too late for regrets, and it was all self-inflicted!
In the ensuing silence, the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger and Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon returned. In the gaze of the crowd, they flew to Lin Feng’s side, shook their bodies, releasing many people from the two Demon Immortals. They paid no heed to whether these people would fall, and after settling them, they shrank down, standing on Lin Feng’s shoulders.
"Zhang Tianzhen!"
"Damn, it’s all this guy’s fault!"
"Who are these people in black? Why haven’t we seen them before?"
...
When Zhang Tianzhen appeared, everyone was incensed. Believing Lin Feng, they were convinced it was all Zhang Tianzhen’s plot. Now, they wanted little more than to tear him apart. But since Lin Feng hadn’t spoken, their fury was restrained, only watching Zhang Tianzhen with murderous glares, wishing to skin him alive!
As Lin Feng descended slowly before Zhang Tianzhen, he spoke coldly, "Speak, I’ll give you a chance."
Facing the now-miserable Zhang Tianzhen, Lin Feng’s voice was full of killing intent. Zhang Tianzhen wanted to kill everyone here, and for that alone, Lin Feng could end him. Yet he felt that Zhang Tianzhen couldn’t have arranged the Blood Soul Heaven Connecting Array alone. He wanted to know who was backing Zhang Tianzhen.
"What should I say?" Zhang Tianzhen replied through gritted teeth, glaring at Lin Feng. He hadn’t anticipated that everything meticulously arranged would fall apart due to Lin Feng, making him deeply unwilling to accept defeat. At this point, why would he say anything? Facing death, speaking or not speaking hardly mattered, so he remained silent.
"If you won’t speak, fine, I’ll make your subordinates talk." Lin Feng said coldly, fixing Zhang Tianzhen with a stare. Then, through his Divine Sense, he instantly controlled one of the men in black. Under Lin Feng’s control, the man began to speak.
"We are all trained by Zhang Tianzhen. This time, in arriving at the new world, Zhang Tianzhen wanted to seize the entire new world. He had secretly arranged formations, saying in Master Zhang’s words, if everyone here died, this world would belong to Zhang Tianzhen entirely..."
The black-clad man spoke in a daze, spilling everything he knew. His mind was no longer his own. Under Lin Feng’s Divine Sense pressure, he couldn’t utter a single lie, leaving him utterly dumbstruck. He felt like a puppet, and as the palpable murderous aura closed in, he collapsed, unable to withstand it further after finishing his account.
