Everyone was excited at the sight of this secret tunnel. Han Tianxing led the charge and volunteered. "I'll walk in front!"
Ouyang Nan pulled him back with a look of disgust. "You?
You'll take the lead?
You don't have experience or power, don't cause trouble!
Just stay in the middle! "
Han Tianxing's face was flushed red with indignation. He turned to look at Li Chengfeng, wanting him to uphold justice.
Li Chengfeng could understand Han Tianxing's eagerness to prove himself but he still patted his shoulder. "Tianxing, don't worry. When you're more experienced, you'll have plenty of opportunities to contribute."
Han Tianxing's expression softened and he agreed obediently, no longer insisting.
Qin Mieqin said, "Junior Brother Chengfeng, hurry up. Be careful, don't let this guy escape!"
Li Chengfeng nodded and walked in first. Following behind him was a swarm of insects that spread forward like a tidal wave.
Although it looked horrifying and disgusting, the insect tide rapidly spread forward. They could play an excellent role as sentinels. They could advance to attack and retreat to defend. They were an excellent probing skill, and were even better than probing with magic power and true essence.
Because magic and True Yuan scouting was like a blind man trying to locate by listening, they could only get a general idea of where the enemy was, how many there were, and how strong they were.
However, they did not know the exact details.
However, Li Chengfeng's technique was heaven-defying because he could see the situation there. Who in the world would pay attention to ants and insects beneath their feet?
With a scouting technique like this, Li Chengfeng would not be afraid of any ambushes within his immortal energy range. That was why he was the best choice to scout ahead.
Li Chengfeng was the first to enter the tunnel. The others followed behind cautiously. Qin Mieqin thought for a moment, then said to Tianjun and Su You, "You two guard the entrance. If anything happens, alert us!"
Su You and Tianjun nodded their heads. Su You smiled and said, "At the very least, we can still shout."
Qin Mieqin was at the back of the group as they entered the tunnel in a single file.
Once they entered the tunnel, the temperature suddenly rose. As it was winter, the tunnels were warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Li Chengfeng put a finger in his mouth and pursed it, then stretched it out to test the air. He whispered to Su Yuehan, "There's wind!"
Li Chengfeng did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood immediately. The presence of wind meant that there was a passage here!
A tunnel meant an exit, an exit meant …
Ouyang Nan immediately said, "Quick, don't let him escape!"
Li Chengfeng quickened his pace and the group followed closely behind. After chasing for more than a hundred metres, Li Chengfeng suddenly sped up and shot out like an arrow. The others immediately knew something was wrong and followed closely behind.
The group quickly rushed into a rather large stone room. This stone room was circular in shape, and there was a wooden shelf in the middle that displayed all kinds of antiques and treasures. It was obviously a treasure room.
However, Li Chengfeng and the rest were not in the mood to look at these precious treasures. They dashed towards a stone door that was rumbling down.
The stone door fell from the top and landed on the ground with a rumble, giving off a heavy sound.
Ouyang Nan was not in a hurry. He wanted to slash at the stone door in shock and anger, but just as he swung his sword, he was stopped by Qin Mieqin. Qin Mieqin pointed at the patterns on the stone door and said, "Do you want to die?"
Ouyang Nan then realised there was a magical array carved on the door. It was one of the most feared arrays by all cultivators in the world: the Devouring Array!
The most powerful thing about this array was that it would explode once it was attacked by magical energy or a strong attack, causing massive damage on the spot.
If Ouyang Nan's sword had landed, both Su Yuehan and Li Chengfeng would have been blown to smithereens in this enclosed stone room. Even the gods would not be able to save them.
Ouyang Nan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. However, he soon felt extremely regretful and angry. Why didn't he run faster just now?!
"What do we do?!" blurted Han Tianxing.
Qin Mieqin's expression darkened. He quickly looked around and shook his head in despair. "It's over, it's all over!
The entire stone room is filled with Devouring Arrays. If we don't break this door, we won't be able to continue the chase. It's over … "
Everyone was in despair but Yuehan noticed that Li Chengfeng was staring at the door. Although his face was cold, his expression did not change at all. His eyes were staring straight as if he was in a trance when he was controlling the power of the insect puppets or flowers.
Yuehan immediately turned around and glared at the crowd. She gestured for them to keep quiet. The crowd suddenly realized that this usually pretty maid had a strong aura around her. Her glare was so fierce that no one dared to look her in the eye!
The crowd fell silent. After a while, Li Chengfeng turned and smiled at the crowd, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "That was close, he almost got away!"
Everyone was ecstatic. Ouyang Nan grabbed Li Chengfeng's arm and shook it hard. "You caught him?
How did you catch him? "
Li Chengfeng smiled. "He couldn't have run anywhere but he had to run towards the forest outside. The exit is just twenty metres behind this door and the forest is all around."
"That's great!" Ouyang Nan laughed. "He was walking right into a trap!
Junior Brother Chengfeng, this technique of yours is too amazing! "
Qin Mieqin looked at Li Chengfeng in bewilderment. This was his first time fighting alongside Li Chengfeng. Before this, he had only heard of Li Chengfeng's Immortal Technique, but he had never seen it for himself.
Now that he saw it, it was unbelievable!
He could catch someone escaping through the Devouring Array?
The Devouring Array was feared by cultivators not only because it could cause a backlash of magical energy, but also because it could block magical energy. If used well, it could even produce a small-scale restrictive effect.
However, Li Chengfeng was able to capture the old steward through the Devouring Array that was almost completely sealed off. This technique … was truly amazing!
I wonder what kind of spell Junior Brother Chengfeng is using?
But Qin Mieqin knew it was definitely not a spell from the Spiritual Mountain Sect!
Could it be that he created it himself?
Li Chengfeng's understanding of this technique was getting deeper and deeper. This technique only allowed him to use various types of energy but it did not teach him how to use it.
However, Li Chengfeng realised that the upper limit of this technique did not depend on how strong he was or what level of cultivation he had reached, but on how powerful the user's imagination was!
This was a power that could only be imagined but not achieved!
As long as one's imagination was big enough and logical enough, this power would be a huge surprise!
"Where is he now?" Yuehan couldn't help but ask excitedly.
Up and down, from heaven to hell, then from hell to heaven, back and forth a few times, it was simply too exciting, causing Yuehan and the others to be unable to stop their emotions from fluctuating.
Li Chengfeng pointed at the stone door of the Devouring Array. "Behind the door."
Yuehan was stunned. She looked at the heavy, slippery stone door and asked, "Then how do we open this door?"
