The monstrous beast let out a furious roar and charged directly at the disciples of the Fengling Sect, who had yet to leave.

Instantly, the Fengling Sect disciples erupted in a flurry of angry curses:

“Don’t let me find out who you are!”

“I’ll %￥@# you!”

In the face of such fragrant blessings, Bai Feng was not the least bit annoyed. Instead, he smiled and waved at them:

“Good luck to you.”

With that, he took a step forward to catch up with the disciples of the Tianjian Sect.

……

Boom!!

A tremendous roar echoed outside the cave, and the violent spiritual energy threatened to tear everything around it apart.

“I can do this, I just need to set this up…”

Su Lanqian extended her trembling hand, guiding the spiritual energy into the formation.

But the closer she got to the formation, the harder it became to control the energy.

‘Hehehe, look at you now, you can’t even manage a formation. Just give up; only I can save you. You wouldn’t want to be devoured by the beast along with the Tianjian Sect disciples, would you?’

“Shut up…”

‘Hahaha, what do you have left? You’ve lost your title as a genius, embarrassed your master, and brought shame to your surname! You’re like a clown, proud and arrogant, looking down on others, thinking only you can restore the glory of the Su family and the Northern Region. And in the end? You fell into the hands of the very con artist you despised. Now you still have the nerve to approach him? Is it because you can’t compete with him in the formation path, so you plan to find another way to regain your glory? Like teaming up with him…’

“Shut up!”

Su Lanqian picked up the brush Bai Feng had used. Though the voice in her ear had vanished, her heart remained restless.

Another roar shook the ground, dust raining down from above. She quickly shielded the brush in her hand and continued to work on the formation.

Outside the cave.

Ye Tang stood atop a tree, holding a long spear. Two Yuanying stage beasts were engaged in battle with the disciples of the Tianjian Sect not far away, while a Yuanying stage beast obediently stood beside him, seemingly following his commands.

He glanced at the Fengling Sect disciples nearby. “Has the news spread?”

“Of course.”

A Fengling Sect disciple frowned, feeling disgusted by this person’s betrayal of his own sect.

But there was no choice; the senior brother had specifically ordered to capture Bai Feng, and since the other side was also looking for him, and he was not only powerful but had also trapped the disciples of the Tianjian Sect’s Qingzhu Peak, cooperation was inevitable.

“Don’t worry, he will definitely come out. Most of the Tianjian Sect disciples are already tied up by us. Even if someone breaks through, they’ll be at their last gasp. That’s good news for us, not bad.”

When he mentioned the Tianjian Sect disciples, his tone was devoid of any emotion, as if he were discussing someone inconsequential.

“Let’s hope so,” the Fengling Sect disciple snorted. “By the way, is there any news about Sister Su?”

“Haha, I’ve been right here. How would I know about Sister Su’s whereabouts?” Ye Tang replied with a smile.

He had certainly noticed the way the other looked at him, and a flicker of hatred passed through his eyes.

You look down on me, huh? Just wait until I use you to get rid of Bai Feng, then I’ll squeeze you dry with Su Lanqian!

With ample resources, he would surely break through to the Yuanying stage, and then he could deal with Luo Chen and reclaim his position as senior brother!

A dark glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly donned a smile and urged the Fengling Sect members, “Alright, hurry up and spread the news. We’ll see him soon.”

**Chapter 58: When Did You Develop the Illusion That You’re Immune to My Illusions?**

“Is the Tianjian Sect being targeted?”

Bai Feng frowned. He had already saved several waves of Tianjian Sect disciples, and their numbers were gradually increasing.

At first, he had to secretly lend a hand, but later, he didn’t even need to move; a group of disciples charged in and drove the Fengling Sect members away.

‘Let’s sneak into the Fengling Sect and see what’s going on.’

Seeing that the Tianjian Sect disciples no longer needed his help, Bai Feng decided to act alone.

In this situation, following them was pointless. As the numbers grew, the target became larger, making it easier to expose himself and become constrained.

……

“Do you think that once we spread the news about the Tianjian Sect disciples being besieged by beasts, Bai Feng will really come? Isn’t that obviously a trap?”

A Fengling Sect disciple stretched his tired body and couldn’t help but complain to his teammate.

“Ah, you’re mistaken; this is a clever scheme,” Bai Feng waved his hand, explaining to the Fengling Sect disciple. “We’ve trapped most of the Qingzhu Peak disciples. If he doesn’t come, what will his seniors think of him? How will he ever stand in the Tianjian Sect again?”

“Senior brother makes a good point!” The Fengling Sect disciple nodded. “And he definitely won’t suspect that we’ve set up layers of traps, even collaborating with Ye Tang from the Tianjian Sect. If he dares to come, he’ll be doomed!”

Bai Feng nodded in agreement, “Exactly! Even if he grows wings, he won’t escape our grasp!”

“Let’s go, junior brother. We’ll head back to rest, and once we’re fully recharged, we’ll continue searching for Bai Feng!”

“Sure! Senior brother, let’s go!”

Thus, Bai Feng smoothly blended into the Fengling Sect’s ranks, heading toward the location of the ‘trap.’

At the same time, a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He hadn’t expected Ye Tang to be so unscrupulous, able to act against his own sect without a shred of guilt. This meant that this child of fortune likely had no morals to speak of. If he didn’t deal with him here, he might never have a peaceful day again.

Even if the system filled him with a massive amount of fortune value, he still needed to eliminate Ye Tang.

After all, he didn’t want to be targeted by a child of fortune with no bottom line.

Along the way, Bai Feng encountered many Fengling Sect disciples, likely all the disciples who had entered the secret realm had gathered here.

It was clear how much the Fengling Sect valued him.

‘This doesn’t seem like something a mere genius disciple could achieve.’

Bai Feng smiled at the approaching Fengling Sect disciples, but his mind was racing with thoughts.

He didn’t believe that a genius disciple could possess such charisma, compelling everyone to willingly and energetically search for him. Even a child of fortune would find it difficult.

Unless… the higher-ups of the Fengling Sect had their own designs on him.

He just didn’t know whether the Fengling Sect planned to invite him, execute him, keep him as a pawn, or simply eliminate him outright.

Bai Feng opened the system and noticed two child of fortune markers not far away.

One was likely Ye Tang, and the other… was probably the Fengling Sect’s child of fortune.

This was a bit tricky.

However, Bai Feng wasn’t surprised. If such a large sect as the Fengling Sect didn’t have a child of fortune, that would be truly strange. He just didn’t know if this child of fortune was the same one that Su Lanqian knew.

‘The elite members of the Fengling Sect should all be here, and there are also numerous formations set up around.’ Bai Feng observed his surroundings, gradually formulating a plan. ‘I might be able to make use of this.’

As his eyes activated the Yin-Yang pattern, the structure of the formation became clear before him.

……

“Junior brother, let me tell you, I just received a message from a friend. There’s an unexplored building not far from here, protected by a layer of formation. It must be hiding something valuable. Let’s go check it out together!”

“Thank you, senior brother.”

Bai Feng nodded with a smile, slightly lowering his head as a talisman slipped from his sleeve.

He had already scoured the Fengling Sect disciples’ camp, leaving behind plenty of traces. He had even quietly embedded a simple illusion formation within the Fengling Sect’s formations to amplify the effects of his illusions.

Otherwise, even if he exhausted his spiritual energy, he wouldn’t be able to affect too many people.

“Hey, Chen junior brother, who’s that person beside you?”

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang in Bai Feng and the others’ ears.

Bai Feng looked up to see a cold-faced young man standing atop a tree, looking down at him.

The moment he laid eyes on this person, his child of fortune radar went off.

Clearly, this person was another child of fortune, aside from Ye Tang.

‘Indeed, he’s from the Fengling Sect. I just don’t know if he’s that genius disciple.’

Bai Feng pondered, not surprised that the other had noticed him.

After all, while illusions seemed powerful, they became increasingly difficult to apply as one’s cultivation level rose. Moreover, since he was affecting a group, it was certainly less precise than a one-on-one situation. And with the other being a child of fortune, it wouldn’t be easy to fool him.

However, he hadn’t planned to sneak past anyway. He had no illusions about being able to deal with Ye Tang while avoiding another child of fortune. If he dared to come, it meant he was ready to confront the other child of fortune.

So, he activated the Divine Refinement Technique again, extending more tendrils of consciousness toward the child of fortune than anyone else.
