Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

As expected of someone who has lived for over two hundred years, Jiang Kai's guess was basically correct.

In fact, long before Ji Feng and the others arrived in Taiping Town, Jiang Yuchuan had already secretly set up a formation centered on the Jiang family residence.

When the formation is not activated, there are almost no clues to be found.

This is why Jiang Yuchuan was able to transfer Ji Feng and all the other disciples of the Sword Sect Palace to another location in such a short time using only a single array pattern.

Coincidentally, the place where Ji Feng and the others were moved by Jiang Yuchuan was the very forest where Zhao Haoyu had died.

To prevent people from escaping, Jiang Yuchuan did not remove the array patterns after relocating them to a new position.

Ji Feng and the others stared in disbelief at the suddenly changing scenery around them and the magic array that had trapped them.

"This is—an array?!"

The speaker was Lei Hui, one of the two elders on this trip besides Ji Feng.

"That's right!"

Another elder, Zhong Chenliang, said with an incredulous expression, "I never imagined that this small Jiang family would hide such a master. No wonder they were so fearless as to kill my Sword Sect disciples!"

Ji Feng snorted angrily, "A mere formation dares to try and trap us? How laughable! You two, come with me and break this formation!"

Lei Hui and Zhong Chenliang exchanged a glance and nodded.

Seeing that the three elders were about to break the formation, the group of disciples behind them immediately stepped back, giving the three enough space.

The three drew their longswords and channeled their inner energy.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose within the formation, and streaks of lightning seemed to flash along with the sound of the wind.

A fierce wind, carrying lightning, swirled around the longswords of Ji Feng and his companions, creating a terrifying aura.

"Do it!"

With a loud shout from Ji Feng.

The three of them drew their swords at the same time and slashed in the same direction.

Three tornadoes, formed from sword energy and carrying lightning, instantly slammed into the cyan transparent light screen.

Then, something unexpected happened to Ji Feng.

The seemingly fragile and vulnerable barrier did not crack under the bombardment of the three fierce sword energies, nor did it even leave a trace.

"How can this be?!"

Ji Feng stared in disbelief at everything that was happening before his eyes.

Lei Hui and Zhong Chenliang's expressions also became serious.

The three of them used almost 80% of their strength in that sword strike, yet they still failed to break the formation. This is enough to show that the person who set up the formation is far stronger than them!

What puzzled them was why such a powerful expert in formations would suddenly appear to help a small family like the Jiang family.

Could it be——

Lei Hui and Zhong Chenliang had the same idea in perfect unison. After exchanging a glance, they decided to retreat.

It seems that the treasure Ji Feng mentioned has most likely fallen into the hands of this mysterious expert; they were ultimately too late.

If the Palace Master were present in person, they might have a chance to compete, but for the three of them alone, trying to get the treasure from that mysterious expert was nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Elder Ji, since the treasure has already been obtained by someone else, we might as well call it a day."

Lei Hui walked over to Ji Feng and offered some words of advice.

“Yes,” Zhong Chenliang chimed in, “The person who made the move in the shadows is clearly stronger than the three of us. Even if we stubbornly stay here, we won’t achieve anything. But if we retreat now, the person who made the move will probably give Jianmen Palace some face.”

These words, seemingly spoken to Ji Feng, were actually intended for Jiang Yuchuan, who was hiding in the shadows, to hear.

Ji Feng hadn't expected things to develop this way.

Although he felt extremely frustrated and angry that he couldn't avenge his daughter, Lei Hui and Zhong Chenliang were right.

To do something you know is impossible is something only a fool would do.

But if he were to leave like this, Ji Feng would be unwilling to accept it.

Because he was holding his breath, Ji Feng didn't immediately answer Lei Hui and Zhong Chenliang's suggestion. Instead, he looked out through the cyan light screen and channeled his inner energy to say:

"I would be honored if you would show yourself. I have some matters I wish to confirm with you in person!"

Lei Hui and Zhong Chenliang were stunned, clearly taken aback by Ji Feng's actions.

Just as the two were about to speak again to advise Ji Feng to avoid trouble, the light screen in front of them suddenly rippled, and then a young man in a blue robe appeared before them.

Jiang Yuchuan's sudden appearance caused Ji Feng and the others to fall silent for a moment.

It was Ji Feng who spoke first to Jiang Yuchuan.

"I only have one question for you: were those two Sword Gate Palace disciples who visited the Jiang family not long ago killed by the Jiang family?"

"Are you talking about Liang Hui and Ji Rourou?"

Jiang Yuchuan countered with a question.

"Exactly!"

Ji Feng's heart sank, and his hands clenched into fists tightly inside his sleeves.

Jiang Yuchuan shook his head. "Those two teenagers did come to the Jiang family, but they only stayed for a short while before leaving. As for their deaths, they have nothing to do with the Jiang family."

Ji Feng didn't speak again, but his gloomy expression showed that he clearly didn't believe Jiang Yuchuan's words.

Fearing that Ji Feng might lose his temper and say something that would anger Jiang Yuchuan, Lei Hui immediately took the opportunity to step forward and greeted Jiang Yuchuan with a smile and a fist salute.

"Your skill in array formation is truly admirable. If we had known earlier that the Jiang family had pledged allegiance to you, we wouldn't have wasted our time and effort on this journey. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. We apologize for any offense we may have caused! Our Jianmen Palace cherishes making friends with people of your caliber. We would always welcome you to visit us whenever you have the time."

Zhong Chenliang smiled and echoed him, seemingly wanting to become close friends with Jiang Yuchuan.

Jiang Yuchuan looked at the two of them and smiled, "Don't worry, I will naturally go to Jianmen Palace. But since you have come with such a fierce attitude, wouldn't it be a pity to leave without doing anything?"

"What do you mean by this?"

Lei Hui was taken aback upon hearing this, and a bad premonition began to grow in his heart.

Ji Feng also looked up at Jiang Yuchuan at this moment.

"What I mean is simple."

Jiang Yuchuan looked up and glanced at the shimmering, rotating array patterns above his head. He smiled and said, "If you can break this array, you are free to leave. If you cannot break it—I regret to inform you that you will have to stay inside forever."

"Isn't what you're doing a bit too much?"

Zhong Chenliang frowned and said coldly, "Although we are no match for you, there are experts at the Mountain-Shaking Realm in the Sword Gate Palace! Aren't you afraid of completely offending the Sword Gate Palace by doing this, and facing endless pursuit from the Sword Gate Palace in the future?"

"Why waste words with him? This man has clearly made up his mind not to let us leave!"

Ji Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we go all out and fight our way out!"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Feng had already made his move. His sword energy surged around him like raging waves, and under the guidance of his long sword, it all thrust towards Jiang Yuchuan.

Jiang Yuchuan smiled slightly, and the moment the sword wave struck, his figure turned into nothingness and slowly disappeared into the formation.

The moment Jiang Yuchuan disappeared, the huge circular array pattern above the magic array suddenly emitted a strong blue light.
