Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds-Chapter 1046 - 7 Is My Disciple the Great Lord? (Seeking Monthly Pass)
"As long as Junior Apprentice-Brother stays within the Sky Burning Court, relying on the protection of the great formation, there shouldn’t be any problems."
In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Feng Wanxing’s mind, but his anxiety didn’t ease in the slightest.
What if?
What if the Purple Dream Domain has a way to bypass the great formation of the Sky Burning Court?
Or if they manage to lure Lin Yuan out on their own?
Too many unforeseen events could occur.
Initially, Feng Wanxing had doubts about the Purple Dream Domain’s operation this time, expending resources to hold back Lord Qingfen.
Only to let a few hundred puppets rampage through the city?
That made absolutely no sense.
A few hundred peak Dao Realm puppets already represent a significant cost.
On the battlefield, they could already form a military formation.
But in the city? At most, they could only wreak havoc here and there.
They couldn’t possibly inflict significant damage to Qingfen City.
A losing trade.
Would the Purple Dream Domain do such a thing?
And now, sensing the deep temporal fluctuations coming from the Sky Burning Court,
Feng Wanxing suddenly had more speculations and thoughts.
Could it be that the Purple Dream Domain’s ultimate target is the Junior Apprentice-Brother?
Although that possibility was equally unbelievable—Lord Qingfen, of course, valued Lin Yuan highly, but would the Purple Dream Domain really pay such a price for a Junior Apprentice-Brother who hadn’t even reached the Self-Dao Realm?
"Ruan, take over my position."
Feng Wanxing’s expression turned solemn, and he immediately made a decision.
The temporal fluctuations from the direction of the Sky Burning Court made him far too uneasy; he had to personally go and take a look.
As for the great formation core here? The Dao Realm-level experts stationed here weren’t just Feng Wanxing; there were also other Junior Brothers.
If Feng Wanxing let go, it would indeed weaken the protective strength of this great formation core somewhat, but compared to the Junior Apprentice-Brother’s safety, Feng Wanxing leaned toward prioritizing the latter.
In the worst-case scenario, it could just be the Purple Dream Domain using a diversionary tactic, and this great formation core might get breached.
But Qingfen City had a total of twelve great formation cores. The loss of just one core wouldn’t significantly impact the city’s defenses.
However, if something happened to Lin Yuan, and Lord Qingfen found out afterward… Feng Wanxing didn’t even dare to imagine the consequences.
"Senior Brother, you’re leaving now?"
Junior Brother Ruan’s face visibly changed. He too could sense the temporal fluctuations coming from the direction of the Sky Burning Court and was growing increasingly anxious.
But the task entrusted to them by Lord Qingfen was to guard the great formation core. Feng Wanxing’s departure would be tantamount to leaving his post without authorization, and any accountability afterward wouldn’t end well.
"I’ll take full responsibility for all consequences. Just focus on guarding this great formation core for me."
Feng Wanxing shook his head and left immediately, heading toward the Sky Burning Court.
"The temporal fluctuations still haven’t stopped?"
Feng Wanxing grew increasingly uneasy. From the moment he perceived the temporal fluctuations from the direction of the Sky Burning Court until now, several breaths had already passed.
In all this time, what on earth had happened on the side of the Sky Burning Court? Was the Junior Apprentice-Brother… still alright?
...
The Purple Dream Domain.
In the cave abode of the gaunt man Kuang Zhen, a crystal-clear stone floated in midair, emitting faint soul waves. At that moment, a strand of soul power surged out from within the stone, condensing into a figure—it was the gaunt man Kuang Zhen.
Whoosh.
Inside the cave, backup measures that had been prepared long ago activated. Vast amounts of energy surged forth, condensing into a physical body.
"My true form."
Kuang Zhen’s face darkened.
His true body had perished, and a strand of his soul had been suppressed by Lin Yuan. Realizing something was amiss, he had unhesitatingly extinguished that strand of suppressed soul.
Then, utilizing pre-arranged life-saving measures, he "resurrected."
As one of Marquis Purple Dream’s disciples, the gaunt man understood very well that even when facing a Great Lord, killing him through Causal Curses was nearly impossible. The defenses around his cave abode had been specifically designed to mitigate causal methods.
But if even a strand of his soul fell into the hands of a Great Lord, the consequences would be dire.
Thus, Kuang Zhen had decisively obliterated that strand of his soul.
"A Great Lord. Qingfen City actually had a hidden Great Lord!"
Kuang Zhen’s expression revealed obvious fear. His physical constitution was unmatched in the Purple Dream Domain, yet against someone capable of killing him so effortlessly, it could only be a Great Lord.
"The other Junior Brothers and Sisters..."
Kuang Zhen immediately tried to contact the other disciples. He learned that all their true bodies had also perished. They had voluntarily extinguished their suppressed souls and then "resurrected" using their life-saving measures.
"The Senior Sister is still alive..."
Kuang Zhen felt no relief. The purple-haired woman was the strongest disciple under Marquis Purple Dream, infinitely close to the realm of a true Great Lord.
Of course, Kuang Zhen didn’t believe the purple-haired woman could resist a Great Lord. As the leader of this operation, she carried numerous trump cards, allowing her to hold out for a brief moment even against a Great Lord.
But only for a brief moment. If the opponent were indeed a Great Lord, her demise was inevitable.
"This mission… seems to have failed."
Kuang Zhen thought to himself. A hidden Great Lord had completely altered the dynamics of the battlefield, especially given their ambush in Qingfen City. They were entirely caught off guard.
"A dignified Great Lord, toying with us in such a way!"
Kuang Zhen’s heart was filled with rage and frustration.
In his view, their every move had likely been known by that Great Lord right from the start.
Yet the Great Lord hadn’t acted, merely watching them painstakingly reconstructing formations within the city—likely waiting to strike at the final moment, just to deliver despair.
"That information about Yu Yan must have been deliberately leaked by Lord Qingfen! All that talk about valuing Lin Yuan, about his connection to the Yu Family—it’s all fake! Lies, all of it!"
Kuang Zhen’s face twisted in bitter anger.
