Chapter 693: Seal

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Master Chen!

The old woman, upon seeing Chen Feis face, was startled and prepared to kneel down in reverence.

Chen Fei currently holds the position of Master of the Tingfeng Pavilion in the Primordial Sword Sect. Its a nominal position, as Chen Fei doesnt have much time to actually manage the sect.

No need for that, Chen Fei reached out and used his elemental force to stop the old woman from kneeling.

Chen Fei remembered this old woman. She had been recruited into the Primordial Sword Sect back when they were at the Thousand Feathers Alliance, specifically to cook for the disciples.

When they fled from the Thousand Feathers Alliance, the Primordial Sword Sect brought along almost everyone they could, including this old woman.

Master Chen!

The people outside the kitchen heard the commotion and came to check, then upon seeing Chen Fei, they all bowed in fear.

Having been at the Primordial Sword Sect for so many years, it was the first time they had seen Chen Fei appear in the kitchen, and it was the first time they had seen him up close.

In the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Chen Fei was like a deity to the entire Primordial Sword Sect, and now, in Thousand Geese City, with rumors spreading, they knew Chen Feis true cultivation levelPeak Combined Aperture Tempering realm!

Within the sect, people vary in talent, but they all possess basic knowledge of martial arts.

At the Peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm, no matter where, its an extremely profound state. Even in the current Thousand Geese Mountains, those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Chen Fei are only a few.

Whats more crucial is that on their way to Thousand Geese City, they heard that Chen Fei had confronted the Monster King and saved everyones lives.

Although at that time, those of ordinary cultivation like them were overwhelmed by the imposing aura of the Monster King, with so many people on the boat, it didnt take much to find out what had happened.

Now, the entire Primordial Sword Sect is united because they know that once Chen Fei breaks through to the Mountain Sea Realm, the lives of all of them will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The Mountain Sea Realm, ah, back in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there were only three, yet the territory of the Thousand Feathers Alliance was vast.

Now, on the Middle Continent, the Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners are still the top tier.

Therefore, as long as they follow Chen Fei, follow the Primordial Sword Sect, their future will only get better and brighter.

Chen Fei nodded slightly, his gaze already on the old woman.

Just now, Chen Feis clone sensed an unusual power fluctuation within the sect, so he appeared here. But after arriving here, that anomaly disappeared without a trace.

The people before him, both in their demeanor and the flow of their inner energy, appeared quite natural.

Chen Feis gaze flickered, and a force descended, enveloping everyone nearby.

Dream Entry Technique!

Although it wasnt effective against those beyond the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it was highly potent against these Body Tempering realm pract.i.tioners. Moreover, if any misunderstandings arose afterward, it wouldnt harm these individuals.

Compared to techniques like Soul Searching, this method was not only gentle but also yielded more comprehensive information.

Chen Fei skipped over memories from the Thousand Feathers Alliance and began with these individuals daily routines since arriving in Thousand Geese City.

In just a short while, Chen Fei thoroughly sifted through the memories of several individuals but found nothing suspicious.

Their daily routines were extremely regular. As they were responsible for the kitchen, they rose before dawn every day.

Positioned at the mountain gate, they received provisions from external merchants, checked them, then transported them to the kitchen for preparation.

The Primordial Sword Sects disciples were now quite numerous, residing on different peaks, so there were many kitchens. This particular one was responsible for only a small portion of them.

Despite this, the workload remained quite significant.

After completing all three meals, they had little spare time. Unfamiliar with the Thousand Geese Mountains and wary of danger, they wouldnt leave the Primordial Sword Sect.

Chen Fei furrowed his brow slightly, his right hand swirling as he extracted some of the energy from their bodies.

A beam of light shot from Chen Feis forehead, covering the extracted energy, allowing him to probe for any anomalies.

After a moment, Chen Feis expression s.h.i.+fted subtly. Through this meticulous examination, he finally sensed some peculiar hidden components within the energy.

Chen Feis clone tapped the ground with his right foot, instantly enveloping a radius of ten meters in a radiant arraythe Heart Refinement Formation.

While the Heart Refinement Formation was most effective at refining the mind, its efficacy in refining other substances was considerably less, but it could still be employed under duress.

The individuals in the kitchen stiffened upon seeing the array spread out, immobilized by uncertainty over what warranted such a grand array.

They didnt understand what was happening, to warrant such a significant array.

Chen Fei inspected the energy in his hand, and after a moment, a faint trace of dark green energy emerged.

The Black Divine!

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes. Despite the significant weakening of the dark green energy on a hierarchical level, its essence was strikingly similar.

Realization dawned on Chen Fei. Why had he been so sensitive to the situation here in the Tingfeng Pavilion just now? It was because not long ago, he had just dealt with the Black Divines energy, smas.h.i.+ng it onto a Fourth-Tier Evil.

How could Chen Fei forget that experience so easily? With just a bottle of energy, he had been able to expel a Fourth-Tier Evil.

This isnt the Black Divine, its weakened too much.

Chen Fei squeezed the dark green energy in his hand, his gaze s.h.i.+fting.

Back in the Black Divines Domain, Chen Fei had sensed many Mountain Sea Realm auras in the sky. However, behind these Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners, were there even stronger individuals? Chen Fei wasnt sure.

At that time, Chen Fei was only a mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm martial artist. Despite his keen perception, his spiritual insight was limited.

Whether those powerful beings had come to strengthen the seal or to rescue the Black Divine, Chen Fei couldnt say. At that time, he was too weak, and he had no right to partic.i.p.ate in such conflicts.

Are they subordinates of the Black Divine?

Although this dark green energy was fundamentally similar to that of the Black Divine, it was ultimately just a resemblance. Even disregarding the level of energy, the details were different.

Moreover, if it were truly an attack on the level of the Black Divine, Chen Fei wouldnt have sensed it so easily.

Chen Fei turned to look at the individuals in the kitchen, all of whom had been contaminated.

At the moment, there were no symptoms apparent, no different from usual.

But being silently infiltrated by such power was equivalent to having ones life held in someone elses hands.

Whats more critical was that this kind of infiltration had extremely strong infectiousness.

These individuals in the kitchen were likely contaminated when they came into contact with the outside world. If Chen Fei hadnt noticed it early, with the pa.s.sage of time, other disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect would have been in danger.

Sometimes, its not the overwhelming attacks that are the most terrifying.

Because when people see such attacks, many would immediately flee.

Instead, its the silent, insidious spread that erupts at a critical moment that is the most terrifying because at that time, you wouldnt even know how you got infected or how you died.

Your bodies have some issues, stay here for now.

Chen Feis fingertips danced, sealing runes fell upon the individuals in the kitchen, while a sword array completely sealed off the area.

The individuals in the kitchen trembled, watching as Chen Fei vanished from the spot.

Chen Feis figure floated in mid-air, a dazzling light radiating from his forehead, encompa.s.sing the entire Primordial Sword Sect within his gaze.

Although Chen Feis clone was far inferior in combat power to Chen Fei himself, he was still at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. With a concrete reference point at hand and the a.s.sistance of the Heavenly Eye, he quickly locked onto the individuals inside the sect.

As Chen Fei unleashed several sword elements, after a moment, over twenty people were brought before him.

These people looked at Chen Fei, still wearing expressions of fear.

Anyone suddenly immobilized while going about their business, then dragged out like this, would likely feel similar to them.

However, upon seeing Chen Fei, their expressions calmed slightly.

After a moment, anyone affected by the dark green energy was sealed by Chen Fei, while the Primordial Sword Sects array was fully activated, completely isolating the interior and exterior.

The situation in the Primordial Sword Sect wasnt severe; there were fewer than thirty people in total.

However, the location where the Primordial Sword Sect was situated in the Thousand Geese Mountains was extremely remote. The slightly better- positioned mountain ranges had long been occupied by other sects.

With nearly thirty people affected in such a remote place as the Primordial Sword Sect, one can only wonder about the situation in other sects within the Thousand Geese Mountains.

Chen Feis clone stood in mid-air, his gaze piercing through the array, looking into the distance.

Thousand Geese City.

At this moment, Thousand Geese City was bustling with activity due to the discourse on the Mountain Sea Realm, reaching its peak during this time of day. Everyone was enraptured, listening to the insights on martial arts from the Mountain Sea Realm.

Even though the discourse had delved into the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, far beyond their current cultivation level, they remained focused, even intending to memorize these insights for future use.

Though they couldnt utilize them now, wouldnt they be handy if they ever had the chance to break through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm in the future?

Chen Feis main body watched the Mountain Sea Realm ahead, pondered for a moment, then quietly left his position. His figure flickered, arriving in the southeast area of Thousand Geese City, where a grand palace stood.

Chen Fei of the Primordial Sword Sect seeks an audience with City Lord Tang! Chen Fei stood before the gates, proclaiming loudly.

Tang Shouchang was the rotating City Lord of Thousand Geese City for the year, with each of the four Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners taking turns for a year.

While they didnt handle specific affairs, during their tenure as City Lord, they would swiftly take charge if any major issues arose.

As Chen Feis words fell, the grand doors of the palace swung open, and a figure emerged from within.

Qu Shangzhang glanced at Chen Fei, noting his peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation, and gestured with his right hand.

The City Lord is aware of your arrival. Please, this way, he said.

Thank you! Chen Fei bowed and followed Qu Shangzhang into the palace.

The interior of the palace was remarkably quiet, with only occasional glimpses of maidservants moving about. Chen Fei followed Qu Shangzhang to a study.

Before Qu Shangzhang could speak, the doors of the study opened on their own.

Come in, Tang Shouchangs voice came from within the study.

Qu Shangzhang bowed slightly towards the study, then turned to gesture to Chen Fei. Chen Fei nodded and entered the study.

Upon stepping into the study, all of Chen Feis senses were completely blocked, leaving only the echoing sound of his heartbeat.
