Feng Lieyang's Resolve, the Two-World Sealing Formation
At the Feng Household's temporary residence, Feng Lieyang sat imposingly on a bluestone, a Communication Talisman clutched in his large, broad hand.
Goldwater Sect's Shangguan Hong sent word that they wanted to join forces to annihilate the Yang Household.
"Tell me, will you agree or refuse?" Feng Lieyang frowned, scanning the dozen or so Foundation Establishment of the Feng Household standing around him, his voice booming.
One of the younger Foundation Establishment from the Feng Household stepped forward, a hint of excitement on his face. "Ninth Uncle, I think this is a great opportunity to eliminate Yang Tianyou, this scourge, and curb the Yang Household's growth!"
"And you guys?" Feng Lieyang nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his suggestion, and turned to ask the others.
"Ninth Brother, I also think we should get involved. Even putting aside the Dragon Valley County issue, the two Elder Tokens held by the Yang Household, along with the other Dharma Protector and Disciple Tokens of various levels, are enough to give us a shot!" The speaker was a middle-aged man with Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation.
Unlike the young man who spoke up before, he didn't think that far ahead; instead, he focused on securing the immediate benefits.
"..."
Once the two spoke, the other members of the Feng Lineage also began to express their opinions, which were essentially the same two viewpoints, ultimately converging on one sentence: Join the war!
Seeing this, Feng Lieyang put his hand to his forehead, his heart filled with disappointment.
"Enough!" he hissed.
Wow!
The voices of the other members of the Feng Lineage immediately fell silent.
"Fight, fight, fight! What do we have to fight with? You only see the benefits, but you're ignoring the disparity in strength between our two sides."
"Yang Tianyou can easily defeat False Core Cultivator, while the strongest in our Feng Household is only at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, whose combat strength is still somewhat inferior to that of False Core cultivator. How can we possibly contend with him..."
"Besides, how many forces were involved in the Lin Household's campaign to encircle and annihilate the Yang Household? With our strength, could we even seize the token? Not to mention, in the chaos of battle, it's uncertain how many of you will survive. If most of you are dead, what use is the token...?"
Feng Lieyang launched into a tirade of abuse. He may seem rough and unruly, but he is actually very meticulous and quick-witted. Otherwise, Feng Yuezhi and Feng Qingyang would not have sent him to lead the team.
"Uncle Jiu, aren't you overthinking this? With so many forces involved, how could the Yang Household possibly escape?" The young Foundation Establishment retorted, his neck stiff and his face flushed.
"Hmph, how do you know these people are of one mind? Even if we really wipe out the Yang Household, do you think we can escape unscathed with our strength?" Feng Lieyang glanced at him and sneered.
"Eat only what you can handle. A person should know their own limitations. Our Feng Household lacks strength. I'll be content as long as I can keep these three Guardian Tokens. Elder Tokens? Ha! Do you really think Yang Tianyou is a pushover!"
"This man manipulated events and turned the tide during the Cold Tide; his methods are far more complex than you imagine. Not to mention, he has Fairy Yunhua standing behind him. If we really kill Yang Tianyou, the Goldwater Sect and Cloudglow Sect are far away and powerful, so what are they to fear? Our Feng Household will never have peace again!"
"Then... shall we remain neutral and not take sides?" The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier spoke up hesitantly after being persuaded by Feng Household Feng Lieyang.
"Neutral..." Feng Lieyang spread his palms and stroked his knees, his thick, dark eyebrows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing.
"This Shangguan Hong Communication Talisman says that we should cooperate in the Secret Realm, and then join forces to attack and destroy the Yang Household family from both Secret Realm after we leave... Hmph, do they really think I'm a fool? The Goldwater Sect has seven Golden Core cultivators. If they destroy the Yang Household, my Feng Household will be next!"
"On the contrary, the Yang Household is the one to blame. Our two families have no irreconcilable feuds; at most, it's a territorial dispute. Moreover, I heard from my great-grandfather that during the next Cold Tide, the Immortal Dao Path lineage is likely to expand its territory. At that time, the conflict will naturally be resolved!"
"Before entering the Secret Realm, my great-grandfather instructed me that if I had the chance, I should cultivate a good relationship with Yang Tianyou, the future leader of the Yang Household... Although the Yang Household is aggressive, they have never betrayed their Marriage Alliance and allies. If our two families were to form a marriage alliance and develop together..."
Feng Lieyang's eyes grew brighter and brighter; he was someone who was very good at seizing opportunities.
If this incident is handled well, it might even lead to a formal alliance Feng and Yang Households. Without internal strife, they can expand outwards and their development will certainly be rapid!
"We can't remain neutral, we're on the Yang Household's side!" Feng Lieyang said, then muttered to himself, "If I remember correctly, the Cloudglow Sect seems to have a good relationship with the Yang Household. If I were Yang Tianyou... hiss!"
On the other side, Yang Tianyou, who was playing with the two Elder Tokens, suddenly had an idea. He raised his hand and pinched a Communication Talisman.
A quick scan with his Spiritual Awareness brought the information to his mind, and he exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect Feng Lieyang to be such a decisive person! Was it the Feng Household Old Ancestor's skill, or his own impromptu decision? If it's the latter, he shouldn't be underestimated..."
Three days passed, and as the eerie power within the Secret Realm continued to spread, the Cultivators ' emotions fluctuated more and more, and the battles became even more intense.
In just a few days, four or five hundred Cultivators of various levels perished. Even the various Demon Beasts that originally lived in the Secret Realm went berserk, attacking and killing each other.
Blood Qi spread in all directions, transforming into evil forces that gathered beneath the Volcano in unseen corners. The Fifth Tier Two Realms Sealing Formation began to tremble, and it would have been broken free if not for the support of the Secret Realm Origin.
"Damn it, damn it, this cursed formation..." A frenzied, demonic voice rang out, filled with hysterical madness.
"It's useless. Back then, I used the Essence Blood and souls of tens of millions of people, along with the Secret Realm Origin and the Sect-Guarding Treasure, to set up this [Two-World Sealing Formation]. From the moment it was set up, no one could break free from it unless you possess the power to Sage Manifestation power!"
"Hahaha, you little demon, you'll just wait here obediently for ten years. When my lifespan is exhausted, you can enter Reincarnation with me!" The weak voice of Xu Yan True Person was filled with strong sarcasm.
"Xu Yan, don't be so arrogant. It's true that the inside is impenetrable, but what about the outside?" An Ming said in a gloomy tone.
"External? Hmph, why do you think I set up a realm restriction? Without the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, it's impossible to break the Formation seal!"
"Hehe, we don't need to escape Fleshly Body, just our souls are enough. And don't forget, the three of us exist as one entity. Over the past few hundred years, while you were asleep, I changed the Formation long ago."
"Heh heh, right now we only need three little guys with the strength of the peak of the False Core to release our souls. Then, they will be the best Vessel!"
"You..."
