Qin Feng did not reply, while the Immortal Venerable beside him smiled and mocked, "You are already at the Mahayana stage of cultivation. As the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect, you don't even know this much knowledge? You were sent back by the teleportation array. With your strength, you should also be able to discover that the spiritual energy in this area has undergone tremendous changes? A mysterious array has already formed around you. The reason you fled far away and were teleported back again is because of this array's effect. If you had remained calm, none of this would have escaped your discerning eye. But you are already agitated. Your fear has taken over your mind, and you are constantly thinking of escaping, disregarding everything else. If you continue like this, not only will you be unable to escape, but you might die a miserable death. As a dignified Mahayana stage cultivator, is this all you are capable of? You truly disappoint me. Your Mahayana stage cultivation does not match your state of mind at all. You are not worthy of being the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect. I advise you to quickly kneel and beg for mercy. Continuing to struggle will only add to the ridicule. With your current strength and state of mind, you are no match for Qin Feng at all. Surrender early, and you can at least lose with some dignity."
Hearing this, the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect carefully looked around. He also felt what the Immortal Venerable had said – that the spiritual energy in this space had changed, and it seemed an array had enveloped them. To escape from this space, the array had to be broken first.
With his cultivation, breaking an ordinary array was easy. Therefore, he observed carefully and discovered the mysteries of this array, saying, "Indeed, I made many mistakes just now. I never expected you to set up a sealing array in such an unseen and unfelt manner. Within this array, the further I escape, the heavier the damage I will suffer. To leave this place, I must first break this array. This is not difficult for me. Sealing arrays can only seal those whose realms are lower than their own. My realm is higher than yours, so the sealing array is useless to me."
Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled and said, "Then you can try. If you can escape from this array, I will spare your life. But first, let's see if you can withstand this lightning tribulation!"
As he finished speaking, a powerful might suddenly surged from the sky. Dark clouds began to gather overhead, and lightning was condensing, as if it would strike at any moment. This was the backlash of the sealing array because the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect had fled too far.
The farther the distance, the greater the power, and the stronger the lightning that would strike.
The Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect had fled tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. But precisely because he had fled too far, the power of this lightning became even greater. The Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect felt the impending lightning in the sky. The immense might made him feel that this lightning was comparable to a lightning tribulation.
That was the lightning tribulation he had faced when he advanced from the late stage of Void Refinement to the Mahayana stage. Such a high-level lightning tribulation was not something ordinary people could withstand. Even though his cultivation had now reached the Mahayana stage, enduring this lightning tribulation would still cause him some damage. However, it was too late to say anything now. The sealing array had been completed, and there was no other way but to endure this lightning tribulation.
As long as he could withstand this lightning tribulation and then break the sealing array, he would be able to escape.
Being forced into this predicament, he felt somewhat stifled. After all, he was the most powerful person on this planet, yet he had been beaten by a young man without any ability to fight back, only thinking of escaping. This was already extremely shameful. However, he knew clearly in his heart that if he didn't escape now and continued to fight with this young man named Qin Feng, he would surely die here.
He was unable to kill the opponent. With his domain broken, he had even less chance of defeating him. He could only plan for the long term; perhaps there would be an opportunity in the future.
With this thought, he circulated all his strength to prepare to resist the lightning tribulation descending from the sky.
With a boom!
The lightning struck down fiercely, and the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect directly used his bare hands to resist it.
As the lightning gradually dispersed, the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect clutched his chest. That bolt of lightning had indeed injured his body, but he had managed to withstand it. Now, he only needed to break the sealing array, and he could escape.
To break this array, one must first be very familiar with it.
The Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect had reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation. He was experienced and very familiar with ordinary arrays. This sealing array was not a particularly complex one. Those with high cultivation levels would have some understanding of it. As a sect master, he was even more familiar with arrays, so breaking this array was relatively easy for him.
He circulated the power within his body, rapidly changing positions within the area, and inscribed a peculiar talisman on the ground. This talisman was precisely for breaking the sealing array. As long as this talisman was within the sealing array, the sealing array would be unable to absorb the spiritual energy from the air into the array, thus rendering the sealing array useless.
Without the assistance of spiritual energy, the array could not exert its power. This was the most basic common sense.
The greatest power of this sealing array lay in its vast scope, and its weakness was precisely here. As long as a talisman that absorbed spiritual energy was inscribed, the sealing array would break on its own.
After completing this, the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect laughed heartily, "You can change from an offensive and defensive array to a sealing array in such a short time, which shows you are very familiar with arrays and have made thorough preparations. Your puppets have also played an important role. I must admit your overall strength is terrifying. Unfortunately, you are still too young to kill me. You might be able to bridge the gap in cultivation realm, but the gap in experience is too vast. Breaking this sealing array is a piece of cake for me. I cannot kill you today, but I believe I will have the opportunity in the future. Because my strength is greater than yours, it won't be long before my further advancement marks your death."
With these words, the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect circulated the power within his body and moved towards the distance again. In a flash, he disappeared without a trace.
Watching the retreating figure, Qin Feng sneered disdainfully.
He once again commanded his Red Alert legion to set up the array, and at the same time, he waved the small array-setting flag in his hand, reconnecting the entire sealing array.
With a flash of white light, the peculiar scene of the teleportation array activating reappeared.
A feeling of dizziness followed. After the white light flashed, the Sect Master of the Qing Xuan Sect reappeared at the original location.
Qin Feng looked at him and mocked, "It seems your experience and knowledge are too shallow."
