In the Sacred City now, they had all the information on the Mountain Sea Realm cultivators in their hands.

If anyone’s cultivation realm had an unusual breakthrough, they were targeted for intensive monitoring.

Of course, it wasn’t just any breakthrough that raised suspicions.

Rather, if you made consecutive breakthroughs in a short period, what was once acceptable suddenly became problematic.

In the turmoil caused by Black Divine loyalists seeking refuge in the Sacred City, even slight suspicion was enough to prompt action.

In chaotic times, severe measures were deemed necessary!

Two hundred miles outside of Thousand Geese City, Chen Fei had stood in the gap between voids, gazing at the city ahead.

Profound Cloud City, a much stronger force than Thousand Geese City, bore some resemblance as several sects were united within it.

According to the information Chen Fei had obtained, Profound Cloud City had five individuals in the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, four in the mid­stage, with two of them on the verge of breaking through to the late stage with six Divine Palaces.

In Chen Fei’s perception, the markers for the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique were currently within Profound Cloud City.

The reason Chen Fei had dared to let the three shadowy figures go before was because he had marked them with the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique.

As a top-tier technique, and to some extent, even comparable to the orthodox techniques of the Sacred City, the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique excels in dream entry and tracking.

The three shadowy figures, all in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, did not notice anything unusual about themselves.

The return to ruins bestowed by the Black Divine did temporarily disrupt the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique’s awareness of these three individuals. However, unless they remained indefinitely within spatial crevices, Chen Fei would eventually sense them.

The formation of Profound Cloud City flickered for a moment, then dimmed.

Maintaining such a formation consumes a tremendous amount of elemental stones. It’s impossible to keep it active indefinitely, even for top sects, due to the strain on resources.

Upon sensing signs of battle over two hundred miles away, Profound Cloud City activated its formation to prevent any attacks from Black Divine loyalists seeking refuge there.

However, the reality was that while the formation was active, it could shield outsiders from perception but also prevented seeing the true situation within Profound Cloud City.

Chen Fei glanced up slightly and strode towards Profound Cloud City.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion of Profound Cloud City,

Qiu Haifan and his group looked grave, each of them silent.

Profound Cloud City publicly claimed to have four individuals in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, but in truth, there was one in the early stage as well. Recently, this individual had absorbed insights from the Black Divine’s technique and made a breakthrough.

But now, Profound Cloud City was left with only three individuals in the mid­stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, as two had been slain in Thousand Geese City not long ago.

“That person is definitely abnormal. They were all in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, how could he be so strong?” Zhong Qixue said with a bitter tone.

Recalling the scene from before, Zhong Qixue’s heart still trembled.

They were all in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, and Zhong Qixue’s strength was not much different from that of Luo Haiwei and the others who were killed.

Ultimately, Luo Haiwei and his companions were each slain by Chen Fei of Thousand Geese City with a single stroke. If Zhong Qixue had been there, the outcome likely wouldn’t have been any different.

Faced with someone who could casually decide their life and death, no one could remain unaffected.

“He must be a prodigy, but now he’s already a mortal enemy to our Profound Cloud City. We will have to kill him sooner or later!” Qiu Haifan said in a firm voice.

Normally, Black Divine loyalists could not sense each other, to prevent one capture from leading to a cascade of arrests.

However, when Black Divine loyalists engaged in combat, especially when one of them was about to be slain, there was still some sense of connection.

This was the reminder from the Black Divine’s insignia: these were your own people.

Usually, at such times, the person about to strike would stop.

The Black Divine loyalists, seemingly unchanging in their cunning, always prioritized their self-interest, but the underlying logic of their souls had long been altered.

Their top priority was always the benefit of the Black Divine. Anything detrimental to his interests would instinctively make them withdraw, yet they wouldn’t perceive any wrongdoing.

“Brother Luo and Brother Zou are dead. This is a flaw. We must fake their deaths outside the Sacred City,” Xing Bosi whispered.

“Follow the plan we laid out earlier. It should deceive the stewards of the Sacred City!” Zhong Qixue remarked.

Before the attack on Thousand Geese City, they had made many preparations to prevent any mishaps, though they hadn’t expected to actually use them.

“Don’t be disheartened, everyone. Even if Chen Fei is a prodigy, he still needs sufficient time to grow. With the Black Divine’s blessings, surpassing him is inevitable,” Qiu Haifan said, looking around at the others.

“Once one of us breaks through to the late stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, we can directly attack Thousand Geese City again. Or we can lie low for a while and send both late-stage cultivators together. What can Chen Fei use to withstand us then?” he exclaimed.

Xing Bosi and the others glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Following the Black Divine meant counting on this rapid pace of progress in cultivation!

Of course, their ultimate bet was on the future of the Boundless Sea, belonging to the Black Divine, not those of the Sacred City.

“According to the plan, we’ll first arrange the deaths of Brother Luo and Brother Zou…”

Boom!

Just as Qiu Haifan was about to proceed with arranging the matter, a deafening explosion resounded, causing the entire City Lord’s Mansion to violently tremble.

Qiu Haifan and the others’ expressions changed abruptly. They instinctively turned their heads towards the southeast direction, where a sword suddenly plunged into the formation of the mansion. A hand followed, gripping the edge of the formation and forcefully pulling outward.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The formation emitted a metallic twisting sound. The Golden Light Formation was renowned for its strength.
