Ni Chen Martial Emperor slowly stepped forward, standing in the void, looking down at the crowd below.
"It's time to stop," Ni Chen Martial Emperor said coldly. Instantly, everyone ceased fighting. The figures in black robes all paused slightly, staring at Ni Chen Martial Emperor in silence. They knew that Lin Feng could not be saved. With Azure Emperor Mountain stepping in, they were powerless. They had done everything they could, not only for the sake of Array Dao but also for the future situation of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region.
Ni Chen Martial Emperor's gaze swept over the black-robed figures, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "Whoever you are, I won't pursue it. Now, leave this place."
In truth, Ni Chen Martial Emperor and Qi Tian Fortress and the others had a good idea of who was behind this. In the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, only a few factions could deploy such a force. Without a doubt, it was those people causing trouble. But Ni Chen Martial Emperor would not disrupt the balance of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, so he let them leave without exposing the veil.
The black-robed figures said nothing and quietly retreated. Before Azure Emperor Mountain, they could no longer help Lin Feng. This was something they had not anticipated—Lin Feng had even drawn Azure Emperor Mountain into the fray, making the situation increasingly chaotic.
Soon, all the black-robed figures in the void vanished, as if they had never appeared. Meanwhile, the many Martial Emperors from Qi Tian Fortress and Medicine King Immortal Palace completely sealed off the area where Lin Feng was.
"Such a lineup..." The crowd looked at the scene in the void, speechless. To deal with a single Venerable Martial cultivator, this formation was truly absurd. Even a few Mid-rank Emperors could not escape. It showed just how much of a stir Lin Feng, in his guise as Master Mu En, had caused.
Lin Feng's demonic gaze was icy cold as he stared at the Azure Emperor Mountain experts ahead, his expression indifferent. Azure Emperor Mountain—he had not expected them to intervene.
"Whoosh!" He crushed an array talisman in his hand, and his figure instantly appeared a thousand meters away. But dozens of auras locked onto him firmly. How could he escape?
A thick, sharp vine slammed heavily into his body, its terrifying force seeping into him. Lin Feng felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. The surging demonic energy around him seemed to churn unsteadily.
"Flee? He still wants to flee?" The crowd was speechless. But Lin Feng crushed another array talisman, his eyes cold as ice. However, a golden palm print greeted him. The Martial Emperors locking onto his aura moved with him; there was no escape even to the heavens.
"Lin Feng." In the distance, Yuan Fei clenched his fists tightly, a fierce demonic aura emanating from him. His palms made cracking sounds, even transforming into black hands—the hands of a demonic ape. At this moment, he was furious, utterly furious, but he could not vent it. An instinctive consciousness clashed with a controlled will, causing him great pain, as if his head were about to explode.
Not only Yuan Fei, but Prajna and the others also had bloodshot eyes. Their souls had been branded with traces, yet they still retained some awareness. Because the control had not lasted long enough and the brand was not strong enough, they could still generate other thoughts. But as time passed and the brand deepened, they would completely abandon their past and become puppets of the Mind Confusion Sovereign.
Lin Feng straightened his body, his demonic aura blazing fiercely as he stared at Ni Chen Martial Emperor ahead. Finally, he spoke: "Is Azure Emperor Mountain targeting me because of your grudge with Shen Yu Martial Emperor, or because of Qi Tian Fortress, or because of my Array Dao abilities?"
"Do I need to explain anything to you? Now, cripple your own cultivation and come with me. Perhaps there will be a path to survival," Ni Chen Martial Emperor said calmly, looking at Lin Feng with the air of a superior. With his strength and status, did he need to explain to Lin Feng? If he wanted to take him, he would.
Lin Feng did not argue. Since Ni Chen Martial Emperor said and did this, it meant he had already considered the Demon Night Island.
"Since that's the case, before I cripple my cultivation, let me fulfill your wish first. Back when Shen Yu Martial Emperor took me away, you made an agreement. Now, I've come to honor it. Where is your disciple?" Lin Feng stared at Ni Chen Martial Emperor and said coldly.
"You are a dead man. There is no agreement to speak of. Hurry up and do it. I don't have time to waste on you. If you don't do it yourself, they will," Ni Chen Martial Emperor said flatly, his eyes devoid of any fluctuation.
Hearing this, Lin Feng laughed. "Ni Chen, you coward. You made an agreement yourself, and now you don't even have the courage to honor it. You are far inferior to Shen Yu Martial Emperor."
"This guy is crazy," the crowd thought. But since he was about to have his cultivation crippled anyway, why not go mad? If it were them, they would do the same. To hell with Ni Chen Martial Emperor or Azure Emperor Mountain.
"If you want to cripple my cultivation, either do it yourself or let them come. I'll take down one or two of them no matter what," Lin Feng said, his demonic gaze blazing. Array talismans suddenly appeared in his hand as he smiled coldly.
Given his status, Ni Chen would never personally act against Lin Feng. He said coldly, "Cripple him."
Eastern Emperor, Zhou Tianruo, Qi Yunsheng, and the Martial Emperors of Medicine King Immortal Palace all stepped forward at once, their powerful auras enveloping Lin Feng.
"Roar..." Yuan Fei let out a wild howl, transforming into his true form, like a black tower. His demonic eyes seemed devoid of all emotion, filled only with coldness and violence.
Ni Chen Martial Emperor turned his head to glance at Yuan Fei, his gaze narrowing slightly. "He's gone berserk."
"Shut up." Mind Confusion Sovereign stepped forward, his figure instantly appearing above Yuan Fei. His pitch-black eyes shot out soul-seizing light, invading Yuan Fei's massive pupils. Then, he struck out with a palm, slamming it fiercely toward Yuan Fei. Even though Yuan Fei had gone berserk, how could he contend with Mind Confusion Sovereign? His massive body was sent flying.
"Azure Emperor Mountain, along with the forces of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, bullying a few Venerable Martial juniors—how impressive," a voice suddenly came from the crowd, causing everyone to pause. Was there someone else seeking death?
A figure stepped through the void, crossing through the many experts to stand beside Lin Feng. His eyes swept over the surrounding crowd with a hint of disdain.
"Such a formidable lineup, all to deal with a single Eighth Layer Venerable Martial cultivator. Tsk, tsk. Azure Emperor Mountain truly lives up to its reputation for dominating this region," Mu Yi said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Qi Yunxiao, seeing Mu Yi appear, sneered, "Mu Yi, we only wanted to detain Lin Feng. By showing up now, are you seeking death?"
"Shut up. Who do you think you are, speaking to me like that?" Mu Yi suddenly roared, startling Qi Yunxiao. His eyes fixed on Mu Yi. What did he mean by that? Did Mu Yi have some extraordinary identity?
Lin Feng glanced at Mu Yi beside him and smiled bitterly. He shouldn't have come. Lin Feng had been preparing to make one last gamble with his array talismans.
But at that moment, Mu Yi sent him a voice transmission, causing Lin Feng's eyes to freeze slightly. Still, he replied to Mu Yi with another transmission.
"Who are you?" Ni Chen Martial Emperor asked calmly. Adding Mu Yi to the mix didn't change anything—Lin Feng still couldn't escape. A Mid-rank Emperor couldn't affect the overall situation. This time, Lin Feng had to be captured because it involved the Boundless Palace.
"Who am I? Open your eyes and see clearly," Mu Yi said coldly, producing a token in his hand. On it was carved a single character: Artifact!
"Artifact?" Ni Chen Martial Emperor's gaze narrowed as he stared at the flame token. "Which artifact refining sect are you from?"
"Someone from Azure Emperor Mountain, living in a remote corner, truly ignorant. You don't even recognize my artifact token. Open your dog eyes and look carefully," Mu Yi said arrogantly, tossing the token toward Ni Chen Martial Emperor. This finally made Ni Chen Martial Emperor's expression change. From Mu Yi's tone, he seemed to be a disciple of a very powerful artifact refining sect.
Not only Ni Chen, but the surrounding crowd also showed interest. Today's events were becoming more and more intriguing. Another twist had appeared. This Mu Yi was also a disciple of a powerful sect.
Ni Chen Martial Emperor stared at the token, examining it closely. His mind began to search for any powerful artifact refining sects in the nearby region.
Artifact refining sects were extremely rare, even rarer than Array Dao sects like the Divine Array Palace. In the vast area around Azure Emperor Mountain, there were none—only a few small, insignificant artifact sects. Truly powerful artifact sects had terrifying foundations. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to protect their creations. Moreover, artifact refining sects had extensive connections. On the continent, few dared to provoke formidable artifact sects lightly. He had to be cautious.
"Explode!" Mu Yi suddenly uttered a word. The token in Ni Chen Martial Emperor's hand instantly released an unusual aura, causing Ni Chen Martial Emperor's expression to change drastically. But the artifact token had already burst, enveloping Ni Chen Martial Emperor's body in mist. Then, a series of violent explosions rumbled continuously. At the same time, Lin Feng crushed an array talisman inscribed on a piece of law-infused leather. Space shifted, and their figures instantly disappeared tens of thousands of meters away.
"Not good." The crowd's expressions changed drastically. They had been tricked.
"After them." Qi Yunlei roared, and a group of figures immediately stepped forward. But Ni Chen Martial Emperor was also a Mid-rank Emperor, incredibly fast. Coupled with Lin Feng continuously crushing array talismans, the distance between them kept widening.
