Chapter 58: When Did You Start Producing Luck Points? Probably Not Because You Fell For My Illusion!
“Was the Heavenly Sword Sect targeted?”
Bai Feng’s brow furrowed just a bit. He’d already rescued several waves of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, and more and more of them were gathering together.
At first, he had to secretly step in to lend a hand, but soon he didn’t even need to move—an entire bunch of disciples roared and charged forward, scaring off the Spirit Sealing Sect’s people like a herd of startled sheep.
‘Time to go undercover at the Spirit Sealing Sect and see what’s happening.’
Seeing that the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples no longer needed his help, Bai Feng decided to go alone.
Plus, hanging around with them was pretty useless now. As the crowd grew and the target expanded, it’d be easier to get caught or pigeonholed. No thank you.
……
“You guys think, if we spread the news that the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were besieged by monster beasts, do you think Bai Feng will really come? Or is this just a trap?”
A Spirit Sealing Sect disciple stretched, looking exhausted but sneering as he complained to his teammate nearby.
“Hey, now! That’s called a clever plan,” Bai Feng waved his hand and explained patiently. “We’ve already trapped most of the Green Bamboo Peak disciples. If he doesn’t come, what will his senior brothers and sisters think? And how will he stand in the Heavenly Sword Sect’s future?”
“Senior Brother’s right!” the Spirit Sealing Sect disciple nodded eagerly. “And he probably wouldn’t expect us to set up layered traps, or that even Ye Tang from the Heavenly Sword Sect is cooperating with us. If he dares to come, he won’t make it out!”
Bai Feng nodded in hearty agreement. “Yeah, yeah! Even if he grew wings, he’d never fly out of our palm!”
“Let’s go, little brother. Time to head back, rest up, then continue searching for Bai Feng!”
“Got it! Senior brother, let’s go!”
So Bai Feng smoothly blended into the Spirit Sealing Sect’s crew and headed toward the ‘trap’ location.
Meanwhile, a flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He hadn’t expected Ye Tang to be so unscrupulous—taking action against fellow disciples without a care in the world. That meant this ‘Child of Destiny’ probably wasn’t much of a moral compass either. If he didn’t deal with him now, he’d be stuck with this troublemaker forever.
Even with the system loading him with tons of luck points, Ye Tang still had to be taken down.
He definitely didn’t want to be haunted by a bottomless pit of luck.
Along the way, Bai Feng ran into many Spirit Sealing Sect disciples—probably all the ones who’d entered the secret realm, gathered here. You could tell how much importance the sect placed on him.
‘Seems like something only a true genius disciple could pull off.’
Bai Feng chuckled politely, returning their greetings. But secretly, he kept pondering.
He didn’t believe a genius disciple could rally such a following, making everyone willing to hunt for him with gusto—even a ‘Child of Destiny’ wouldn’t easily pull that off.
Unless… the high-ups of the Spirit Sealing Sect also had their own plans for him.
He wasn’t sure if they intended to invite him in for a feast, behead him outright, make him a dog under their command, or just eliminate him completely.
Bai Feng opened his system interface and immediately spotted two Luck Point signs nearby.
One might be Ye Tang; the other… probably the Spirit Sealing Sect’s own Child of Destiny.
Troubling.
But Bai Feng wasn’t surprised. If a sect as big as Spirit Sealing Sect didn’t have a Child of Destiny, that’d be bizarre. He wondered if this Luck Child was the same one Su Lan Qian knew.
‘Most of Spirit Sealing Sect’s elites should be here. Plus, they’ve also set up a bunch of arrays around.’ Bai Feng observed his surroundings, his mind swiftly forming a plan. ‘Could definitely use this to our advantage.’
With his Yin-Yang Pattern activated, the array structures floated clearly before his eyes.
……
“Little brother, lemme tell you—I just got a message from a friend. There’s an unexplored building nearby, protected by a formation barrier outside, and it must have treasure inside. We’ve gotta check it out together!”
“Thanks, senior brother!”
Bai Feng smiled and nodded. He bowed slightly and a talisman slipped from his sleeve.
He’d already scouted nearly the whole Spirit Sealing Sect camp and left plenty of traces. He even quietly embedded a simple Illusion Array into their formation to expand its illusion effect.
Otherwise, exhausting his spiritual power wouldn’t affect too many people.
“Hey, Junior Brother Chen, who’s that person beside you?”
Suddenly, a voice rang in everyone’s ears.
Bai Feng looked up—a young man with a cold face was standing on a tree branch, looking down at them from above.
The moment Bai Feng saw him, his ‘Child of Destiny’ radar blared.
Clearly, this was another Child of Destiny besides Ye Tang.
‘Exactly what I expected—someone from Spirit Sealing Sect. Wonder if he’s that genius disciple.’
Bai Feng mused inwardly. It wasn’t surprising that the other could notice him. Though illusion arts seemed powerful, the higher the cultivation, the harder they were to affect—especially in groups. And considering he also had the Luck Child identity, fooling him wouldn’t be so easy.
But Bai Feng wasn’t planning to play deaf. He didn’t expect to take out Ye Tang and dodge another Luck Child at the same time. If he dared to show up, it meant he was ready for a fight.
So he activated the Divine Awareness and extended more sensory tendrils toward the Luck Child.
“His? He’s junior brother!” the disciple called Chen Junior looked confused, scratching his head.
The Luck Child on the tree frowned, voice sharp. “I ask you—who is he?”
“Who else can he be? He’s just the Spirit Sealing Sect’s junior brother! I saw him in the sect myself!” Chen Junior looked just as puzzled, turning to Bai Feng. “Junior brother, hurry and explain yourself to the senior brother!”
“No need,” Bai Feng waved dismissively. He looked up at the Luck Child in the tree, smiling. “Want me to introduce myself again?”
“Hah, no need. Even if you hide your face, I’d still recognize you—Bai Feng!” The Luck Child’s eyes narrowed. “I didn’t expect you’d dare come in alone. Now, I’m starting to admire your guts. But I wonder, can your strength really back up that bravado?”
“Wh-what! You’re Bai Feng?”
Chen Junior’s eyes widened in shock as he blurted out.
“…Why does this sound even more like a city drama with a king of dragons?” Bai Feng’s lips twitched, trying not to break out into laughter. He resisted the urge to roast him and kept looking at the Luck Child.
“You’re so sure you can take me?”
“Hah! Your little tricks won’t work on me! Relying on these reckless methods and barging into our arranged formation, I even suspect you’re some sort of master illusionist hiding behind a con! And maybe you fooling Sister Su with your tricks too.”
When he mentioned Sister Su, his tone obviously darkened.
He raised his hand, and the formations around began to activate. “Probably best you regret your actions in the formation!”
Bai Feng faced the oppressive array, still calm. “When did you realize you weren’t under my illusion?”
“What?”
The Luck Child’s expression practically froze in disbelief, but before he could react, Bai Feng suddenly turned into a bunch of bamboo leaves and vanished before everyone’s eyes.
He looked around hurriedly, but no matter how he scanned or used his divine consciousness, he couldn’t find Bai Feng’s trace.
Next, he activated the formation himself, trying to blanket the entire area. But soon, he realized he no longer controlled the array.
His face darkened. He clenched his fists and slammed a fist against a nearby tree stump. “Impossible?!”
He scowled, fists clenched. Was the array secretly sabotaged? Or was he still trapped inside a illusion?
Meanwhile, Bai Feng had seized part of the array control and was easily weaving through the Spirit Sealing Sect camp.
He only manipulated a portion of the great array, not all of it, but enough.
“Oh? Ye Tang’s here too!”
Bai Feng paused, frowning slightly. He felt the aura on this person was a bit off.
And Ye Tang was also dragging a Nascent Soul Stage monster beast—no, it was a shell!
