# Chapter 1597: Forming Enmity
The next day, in the buffer zone of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses Region, there was an undercurrent of stormy tension. The news that Qi Tian Fortress had invaded the Medicine King Immortal Palace's stationed territory, acting tyrannically by injuring people and taking lives, destroying medicinal gardens and seizing precious herbs, had spread throughout the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses. Moreover, Qi Tian Fortress had deliberately brought along the Array Dao Grandmaster Mu En and Mu Yi, preventing the Medicine King Immortal Palace from striking ruthlessly. Qi Tian Fortress was too ruthless; this time, they had likely enraged the Medicine King Immortal Palace.
Experts from the Medicine King Immortal Palace continuously rushed to their stationed territory in the buffer zone, and Qi Tian Fortress did the same. After Qi Yunxiao learned of the news, he immediately led experts to the Qi Tian Fortress stationed territory.
Upon learning of the movements of these two major forces, many people already felt that this was a sign that the Medicine King Immortal Palace and Qi Tian Fortress were about to go to war. As for the other seven forces of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, they were naturally happy to watch the excitement and observe how things would develop.
In the Medicine King Immortal Palace, a white-bearded Martial Emperor expert sat in the seat of honor. His gaze swept over the people below, and he said indifferently, "This matter has already spread throughout the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses Region. Our Medicine King Immortal Palace has been so arrogantly humiliated, losing all face. What do all of you think?"
"Sir, there are still some suspicious aspects to this matter," a Martial Emperor expert from below responded. "According to what I know, yesterday at Qi Tian Fortress, there were only a few Martial Emperors led by Golden Chen Lord, and no high-level figures from Qi Tian Fortress. Our Medicine King Immortal Palace and Qi Tian Fortress have never torn apart their friendly relations. Golden Chen Lord has no reason to provoke our Medicine King Immortal Palace. Moreover, he doesn't have the courage."
"Your analysis is not without reason. Unless there is someone from Qi Tian Fortress's upper echelons controlling things from behind the scenes, even if you gave Golden Chen Lord ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare do this. But if it wasn't Golden Chen Lord, could it be that Mu En acted on a whim and did this recklessly?"
"That possibility cannot be ruled out either. That Mu En, relying on being a member of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's palace and being skilled in some Array Dao, acts lawlessly and has never placed our Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses in his eyes. Last time, he humiliated the disciples of our Medicine King Immortal Palace. Now, descending upon the stationed territory above our Medicine King Immortal Palace, seeing the spiritual herbs and medicinal plants, he immediately conceived the idea of forcibly seizing them. Moreover, even if he did this, Qi Tian Fortress would take responsibility for him. He is also not afraid of us at all, because he simply doesn't care about us."
That person continued speaking. Many people from the Medicine King Immortal Palace nodded slightly. They were not foolish people. If it wasn't instigated by an expert from Qi Tian Fortress behind the scenes, then it definitely wouldn't have been done by Golden Chen Lord. It could only be that arrogant Mu En.
"Crack!" The chair covered by the white-bearded Martial Emperor's palm shattered, cracks appearing. He said coldly, "This Mu En goes too far in bullying others. But regardless of whether this matter was done by Qi Tian Fortress or Mu En, this debt can only be settled on Qi Tian Fortress's head."
Everyone nodded. They understood that Qi Tian Fortress must take responsibility for this matter. If the Medicine King Immortal Palace did not make a move against Qi Tian Fortress, how could they still establish themselves in the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses Region? How could their disciples still hold their heads high outside?
"Secretly investigate the movements at Qi Tian Fortress's stationed territory. Additionally, notify the Medicine King Immortal Palace. In three days, we will go to Qi Tian Fortress's stationed territory for a visit," the white-bearded Martial Emperor said icily, killing intent flickering in his eyes. Mu En, this person, he had noted him down. This time, dealing with Qi Tian Fortress would also serve as a warning to you!
At the same time, Qi Tian Fortress also gathered all their experts in the great hall. Qi Yunxiao sat in the seat of honor. His expression was quite ugly at the moment. He naturally understood the possible impact of this matter. People from Qi Tian Fortress had charged into the Medicine King Immortal Palace's stationed territory and acted tyrannically. This was equivalent to slapping the Medicine King Immortal Palace in the face, making them unable to lift their heads. For a force like the Medicine King Immortal Palace, how could they endure such humiliation?
At this moment, Golden Chen Lord stood below, his head lowered and silent. Qi Yunxiao's icy gaze made him feel a strong sense of oppression.
Golden Chen Lord was very clear that no matter how this matter had unfolded, the responsibility must fall on him. Qi Tian Fortress had finally managed to invite Master Mu En. Could they blame Mu En? They didn't even dare to mention it in front of Mu En, otherwise, if Mu En became angry and left, wouldn't the friendship they had built be wasted?
"Get back and properly entertain Master Mu En," Qi Yunxiao spat out a cold sound. Since the matter had already happened, blaming Golden Chen Lord would be useless. He could only prepare for what came next.
As for Lin Feng at this moment, it was as if none of this had anything to do with him. Together with Mu Yi, he was circling the vast stationed territory of Qi Tian Fortress, continuously striking out with his palms, carving array patterns around Qi Tian Fortress. Mu Yi was responsible for helping him slowly release the law power from his destiny and merge it into the patterns Lin Feng carved.
One array pattern after another interwove together, transforming into dazzling sacred pattern light, then disappearing into the void as if they had become independent entities. But as Lin Feng continued his work, those independent sacred pattern entities began to intertwine and wrap around each other again, forming small array formations.
To carve a Ruin Array Dao in this vast Qi Tian Fortress stationed territory, he first had to interweave countless small array formations. His movements were still not as skilled as that guy Yan Di. Thinking back to when Yan Di carved sacred pattern arrays, with a single step, he would imprint patterns, perfectly natural and seamless. However, as Lin Feng gradually became more skilled, his speed also increased.
Golden Chen Lord had already arrived not far from Lin Feng. But he just quietly watched from there, not disturbing Lin Feng as he carved the array.
"This Lin Feng, although he acts recklessly, when carving arrays, he is so focused and methodical, completely different from his usual behavior. Could this be his talent in Array Dao?" Golden Chen Lord thought to himself as he watched Lin Feng's concentration. When Lin Feng carved arrays, he was the complete opposite of the personality he usually displayed—quiet, focused, and fully absorbed.
A group of figures came to Golden Chen Lord's side. It was actually Qi Yunxiao. Golden Chen Lord wanted to speak, but Qi Yunxiao slightly waved his hand. After watching Lin Feng arrange the array for a moment, he sighed with emotion, "I have heard that in powerful array formations, not even the slightest detail in each pattern can be wrong, otherwise it will definitely affect the power of the array. And complete and powerful grand arrays are formed by countless patterns interwoven together, capable of seizing the power of heaven and earth. The most important talent for those skilled in arrays is focus. Absolute focus allows one to carve the most meticulous formations. And focused people, even if they practice martial arts, will still achieve great accomplishments. Therefore, throughout the ages, Array Dao grandmasters have also been extremely powerful in martial arts. Perhaps this is where all paths converge."
Hearing Qi Yunxiao's words, the crowd gained some insight. Looking at the figure carving arrays below, they couldn't help but feel some admiration. Such a young Array Dao master, his future achievements in martial arts would likely be very high as well.
"These days, all of you should carefully observe Master Mu En carving the array and see if you can gain any insights," Qi Yunxiao said to the crowd. The people nodded slightly.
Lin Feng carved this array for three full days. During these three days, Lin Feng was completely immersed in this Array Dao, never stopping. Golden Chen Lord and the others had been in the void, watching for three days, sighing with emotion in their hearts. Master Mu En was indeed just as Lord Qi Yunxiao had said—once he immersed himself in Array Dao, he poured all his heart and mind into it, with no room for anything else in his eyes. He hadn't even looked up at them once.
Mu Yi, standing by the side, was also amazed in his heart. This guy had been immersed in arranging the array for three days and three nights, yet he seemed very excited, showing no signs of fatigue. And when carving the array, he was always meticulous. This made Mu Yi secretly sigh—perhaps this was one of the reasons why he was inferior to this young man.
At this moment, Lin Feng's palm traced the final stroke. By now, he was standing in the central area of Qi Tian Fortress's stationed territory. Around him, an array diagram was faintly visible, interwoven from the light of the earth.
"Complete!" Lin Feng's palm trembled slightly and imprinted onto the center point of this array diagram. Instantly, rays of light spread out from this array diagram. In just a moment, the entire vast Qi family residence lit up with a burst of light. The countless patterns, the many small array formations, seemed to interweave into a complete grand array.
"Break!" Golden Chen Lord's eyes in the void suddenly focused. Looking down from above, the array light that lit up throughout Qi Tian Fortress seemed to form the character for "break." Within it, a destructive power seemed to be surging, as if it could erupt at any moment.
"If this array were to be unleashed, I wonder how powerful it would be," Golden Chen Lord murmured softly, sighing in his heart. Three days and three nights.
"Lord Qi Yunxiao was right. Master Mu En, even if he didn't cultivate Array Dao, would still achieve great accomplishments in martial arts," Eastern Emperor also sighed with emotion. Around them now, there were many other Martial Emperor experts who had arrived, all transferred from Qi Tian Fortress. Four days ago, Qi Tian Fortress had offended the Medicine King Immortal Palace, so they had to guard against the Medicine King Immortal Palace's retaliation.
"I have not failed the trust placed in me. This array formation has finally been successfully carved," Lin Feng said, stepping into the void and arriving before Golden Chen Lord and the others, smiling.
"Master Mu En has worked hard," Golden Chen Lord said with a cheerful laugh. Witnessing Lin Feng's terrifying proficiency in Array Dao once again, he felt even more strongly that Qi Tian Fortress must build a good relationship with Lin Feng. In the future, Lin Feng would likely become a terrifying Array Dao grandmaster, perhaps even walking the path of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor.
If that day truly came, with Lin Feng standing among the upper echelons of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's palace and having a good relationship with their Qi Tian Fortress, then not to mention a mere Medicine King Immortal Palace, even Qing Di Mountain would treat their Qi Tian Fortress with more courtesy.
"Qi Tian Fortress has done so much for me. It is only natural that I do my small part. How can it be considered hard work?" Lin Feng's smile was rich, his words carrying deep meaning. Qi Tian Fortress had indeed done a lot for him!
Just as Lin Feng's words fell, the Martial Emperor experts of Qi Tian Fortress furrowed their brows. Then their eyes turned toward the distant void, sharp and dazzling light bursting forth.
Lin Feng also turned his head back, and then he saw figures in the distance riding clouds and approaching. Seeing this, a faint smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. Finally here. What perfect timing!
