As Yi Feng returned their bow, the elderly women trembled with fear.
"Brother... Brother Yi, greetings..."
Once the formal greetings concluded, their racing hearts struggled to settle. They had never dreamed that they might one day call a mighty figure like Senior Yi their brother. Such an privilege was beyond rare, spanning countless lifetimes.
Only when Yi Feng urged them to take seats did their minds begin to steady.
Yi Feng now claimed the main position, which matched everyone's desires and felt completely fitting. Tree Venerable and Guo Jiannan flanked him on either side, their gazes brimming with awe and thrill.
A few sips of mild tea failed to dampen the fervor surging within them.
Noticing the cluster of old fellows squirming uneasily, behaving like jittery youths, Yi Feng felt a mix of amusement and irritation. He decided to shift the topic to lighten the mood.
"Everyone."
"Now that you have these demon corpses, you should be able to restore your cultivation in the future. When can we leave this place?"
Though gathering a band of followers brought satisfaction, Yi Feng still needed to pursue his bold ambition of courting death. With all dangers in the Demon-Suppressing Prison eliminated, there was no reason to linger.His words caused everyone's faces to grow grave.
After a brief pause for thought, Guo Jiannan cupped his hands first and addressed him.
"Brother... Brother Yi."
"We have been confined in the Demon-Suppressing Prison for too many years. Our life force and blood essence have withered badly, and I'm afraid we can't return to our prime. It's a disgrace indeed. Breaking through the Demon-Suppressing Prison will require Brother Yi to step in personally."
Tree Venerable and the rest followed suit, cupping their fists with stern expressions.
"Only Brother Yi's intervention offers any hope of shattering the Demon-Suppressing Prison!"
At that instant, how could they bear to invoke the 'Godly Sword' title once more? After beholding Yi Feng's horrifying strength, thoughts of their past pretensions of wisdom left their cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Yet regarding the prison break, a hint of anxiety lingered, so they avoided firm declarations to prevent any mishaps that might tarnish Brother Yi's prestige.
As the most seasoned among them, Guo Jiannan pondered briefly before smiling at Yi Feng and voicing his thoughts.
"Brother Yi."
"Over our endless years of exploring the Demon-Suppressing Prison, we uncovered a vulnerability thousands of years back. This prison harbors a flaw, stemming from an imperfect design during its creation. Likely, some Blizzard Island member slacked off, failing to uphold the prison's integrity fully."
"Given Brother Yi's deep cultivation, applying your techniques there will definitely rupture the Demon-Suppressing Prison!"
His statement sparked confidence in everyone's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yi Feng rose promptly and, with a gesture, led the group onward.
Soon enough.
The group reached the edge of a dark lake. They lingered silently on the shore, watching intently for quite a while. Across the lake's surface lay perfect stillness, devoid of any spatial cracks. It resembled an enclosed realm, flawless and unbreakable!
Suddenly, all eyes widened in astonishment as they traded bewildered looks.
"This!"
"The spatial barrier in front stands like an iron wall, utterly unlike what it was!"
"Something's off! I recall spatial storms raging from this spot before. It was obviously the prison's weak spot!"
"Yet now, no imperfection shows. What can we do?!"
Guo Jiannan fixed his gaze for several beats, his face darkening.
"It appears the prison's array has triggered. Across the ages, it has mended that flaw."
These words brought despair to their gazes.
"Repaired?"
"Does that signify the Demon-Suppressing Prison holds no vulnerabilities whatsoever now?!"
These short utterances sank the group into profound gloom. Without further speech, the heavy quiet nearly choked them. The fresh spark of hope was crushed right before them—nothing could crush spirits more thoroughly.
Guo Jiannan shut his eyes with a wry grin, letting out a quiet sigh to the heavens.
"In those days, to trap the demon race, this old man summoned numerous array masters to forge the Demon-Suppressing Prison, aiming for a realm of utter isolation and hopelessness. This array proves its might, healing its own flaw in mere millennia..."
"Who knew I'd invite my own doom. Now doomed to eternal imprisonment here, I've even dragged you all down!"
A bitter ache gripped their hearts, leaving them rigid by the lake with heads lowered. Their only lifeline was cut, nearly crumbling the Dao hearts they'd guarded for tens of thousands of years.
Yet.
As Guo Jiannan turned sheepishly, ready to offer apologies to Yi Feng...
He saw Yi Feng advancing firmly, gripping his sword with both hands, untouched by the group's despair. No aura leaked from him, but he projected an oppressive force that filled Guo Jiannan with profound terror!
That ancient sword in view chilled his heart further with awe, leaving a thousand sentiments stuck in his throat.
Before Guo Jiannan could watch a moment longer.
Yi Feng had arrived at the water's edge and swung his upright blade in a powerful chop!
"CRACK!"
A sharp boom like thunder, a sword light tearing through sky and ground!
The lake's waters split apart forcefully. The sword light slashed onward for thousands of miles unabated. All in its way yielded. The distant spatial barrier exploded into fragments. Rays from the outer world streamed in, while spiritual energy flowed steadily.
The Demon-Suppressing Prison stood cleaved apart by force!
One swing rent the void, leaving all onlookers dumbfounded!
