Chapter 2648 - Mastermind
“Sure enough!”
At that moment, Chu Feng started to frown.
At the same time, the expressions of worry and astonishment on Ying Mingchao and the others’ faces also grew stronger.
The scene earlier had allowed them to know that there was indeed a mastermind behind the Infant Soul Sect’s Sectmaster.
As for the mastermind, he was most definitely an extremely powerful individual, so powerful that they simply could not contend against him.
Furthermore, that person was present. It was very likely that that person would attack Chu Feng and the others.
That said, as matters stood, there was already no choice left for Chu Feng.
He was making a gamble. He was gambling on that individual not daring to show himself and attacking them.
The reason why Chu Feng dared to make such a gamble was because he felt that if that individual was capable of doing things himself, he would definitely not have gone through the effort to have the Infant Soul Sect’s Sectmaster help him.
Thus, he most definitely possessed some sort of reason that made it so that he was unable to handle things personally.
“Quickly, run away! Run away!”
At that moment, the people from the Infant Soul Sect started to flee in disarray.
When even their strongest Sectmaster was killed, if they were to continue stay there, they would only be waiting for death.
As Chu Feng saw the escaping members of the Infant Soul Sect, coldness gleamed in his eyes.
Chu Feng started to recall the infants that had died miserably. Those people that were currently fleeing were the culprits that had slaughtered infants.
With a thought, Chu Feng’s oppressive might began to move toward the fleeing members of the Infant Soul Sect in a manner capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang~~~”
………...
At that moment, m.u.f.fled explosions began to be heard nonstop in the air like firecrackers.
Following each m.u.f.fled explosion, a person from the Infant Soul Sect’s body and soul would be blown up.
In merely a split second, all the Infant Soul Sect’s members were killed. Like rain, their blood began to sprinkle down from the sky.
It was a truly devastating scene. However, not a single person from the allied army felt any sympathy for them when they saw this. Even people like Grandmaster Pocket, people that possessed a kind and merciful heart, did not feel any sympathy.
They all knew very well that the people from the Infant Soul Sect had done countless evils, and that their deaths could not wipe away their sins.
“Chu Feng, that grand formation is still here,” right at that moment, Her Lady Queen called Chu Feng’s attention to the Infant Soul Sect’s grand formation.
Actually, Chu Feng had noticed it even without Her Lady Queen telling him about it. That grand formation condensed by the crowd from the Infant Soul Sect was still present in the sky, and covering the entire region.
Logically, as the people who had set up that formation had already been killed, the grand formation should have dissipated. After all, it was a grand formation created by the special powers that the people from the Infant Soul Sect possessed, and not a spirit formation.
That said, it was precisely because that grand formation that should have dissipated had yet to dissipate that it was strange.
“This grand formation is too dangerous. We can’t stay here.”
“Woosh~~~”
After Chu Feng said those words, he swept the Ancient Era’s War Sword across the sky with a single thought, and severed all the dark black gaseous flames that served as the connections that Infant Soul Grand Formation had with the hundreds of millions of lives below.
The next moment, the crowd that was originally covered by the dark black gaseous flames finally managed to escape.
However, it was only when they escaped from the black gaseous flames that the crowd discovered that over half of the people had already died.
All those with weak levels of cultivation were already dead. All those who were still alive possessed relatively decent levels of cultivation.
That said, even all those that were still alive were left in a completely shriveled state of skin and bones. Regardless of what their ages were, they were all filled with wrinkles, and all of their hair had fallen out. They were incomparably aged.
Every one of them resembled corpses that had walked out from their coffins. Their appearances were extremely frightening.
It could be seen that they had not just had their souls extracted. This time around, they had paid an enormous price for their ignorance and greed.
“Putt~~~”
Right at that moment, a shocking scene occurred. All the people who were still alive, regardless of their gender and status, all knelt on the ground and began to bow to Chu Feng with both hands held in front of them.
“Lord Chu Feng, we were foolish. Thank you for saving us.”
“Lord Chu Feng, we were wrong. We wrongly accused you all. We deserve to die ten thousand times for our crimes.”
At that moment, the people kneeling on the ground, regardless of their age and gender, were all wailing and crying tears of remorse.
Chu Feng noticed that even the Abbot of the Buddha’s Heavenly Temple and the Headmaster of the Immortal Sword School were among them. Although they were not kowtowing with their hands before them like the others, their faces were also covered with tears of remorse.
From this, it could be seen that even though they were trapped, they had managed to hear everything that had happened earlier, hear the entire conversation between Chu Feng and the Infant Soul Sect’s Sectmaster.
They now all knew that they’d fallen for the Infant Soul Sect’s plot, and that Ying Mingchao and the others were right.
Upon thinking about what they’d done, they felt endlessly ashamed.
“There’s no need to thank me. I did not come here to save you all. Your lives and deaths are unrelated to me,” Chu Feng said coldly. He was completely unmoved by the thanks from the crowd.
In fact, Chu Feng did not even bother to take a look at them. Chu Feng’s eyes have been fixed onto the sky. He was staring at the surging Infant Soul Grand Formation.
That grand formation was much more complicated than Chu Feng had imagined it to be. Chu Feng felt that as long as the Infant Soul Grand Formation remained, they would still be in danger.
“Chu Feng, I have truly underestimated you.”
“That said, you are still unable to change anything.”
Right at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded from above the Infant Soul Grand Formation.
“Oh no!”
