He knew that all outer disciples, if they could not advance to inner disciples within three years, would have to leave the Star Gate. Now, possessing Qi Refining Realm cultivation and being a Great Divine Thought Master, it was practically guaranteed he would become an inner disciple.

"Zhang Lingfeng."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the doorway.

"Could it be Elder Feng?"

Ling Feng’s spiritual sense swept out, confirming that the person outside the cave was indeed Feng Santong.

"Elder Feng, are you looking for me?"

Ling Feng hurriedly stepped out of the cave.

From the beginning, Feng Santong wanted to take him as a disciple, but because he was already part of the Fu Family, he had to refuse. Yet, Feng Santong held no grudge and even gifted him a Celestial Thunder Talisman.

Ling Feng never forgot this kindness.

"I heard you’ve become a Great Divine Thought Master. Show me your divine thought."

Feng Santong said.

"I was fortunate to break through last night. Please instruct me, Elder Feng."

Ling Feng nodded.

He swiftly released his divine thought.

A special disturbance capable of disrupting others’ origin power balances quickly appeared before Feng Santong.

"Good lad, you’re truly gifted. If you don’t become a disciple of the Talisman Sect, it’s both your loss and mine."

Feng Santong’s expression was jubilant as he quickly grabbed Ling Feng’s arm.

"Elder Feng, what do you intend to do?"

Ling Feng asked.

"Come cultivate with me at the Talisman Sect. I’ll ensure you become a Talisman Master and pass on all my Talisman Dao skills to you."

Feng Santong vowed sincerely.

"Elder Feng, I’m following Brother Fu in my cultivation and cannot suddenly switch to follow you."

Ling Feng said hurriedly.

"Stop with the nonsense. Whatever the Fu Family problem is, I’ll handle it myself."

Feng Santong paid no heed and held onto Ling Feng, intending to leap towards the Talisman Sect.

But just then, an array appeared overhead, stopping Feng Santong from forcibly taking Ling Feng away.

"Fu Shanhai, don’t stop me."

Feng Santong clutched Ling Feng’s arm tightly, pulling out a golden talisman, standing in the air confronting the array.

A phantom appeared above the array.

The phantom gradually solidified into Fu Shanhai, causing the surrounding array to quickly disappear.

Ling Feng was shocked, not knowing why, but he felt that the array that had just enveloped the sky seemed to have been released from Fu Shanhai’s body.

He did not know what realm Fu Shanhai had reached.

Whether he had already formed a Golden Core.

But at that instant, he seemed to see the array in the Dao Field could be released to envelop the outside space, a power that Qi Refining Realm cultivators could not possess.

"Elder Feng, are you afflicted with delusions? Ling Feng is a member of my Fu Family, destined to enter Master Yan’s tutelage and become an Artifact Refiner. How can you take him away so casually?"

Fu Shanhai said calmly.

"Old Yan hasn’t taken him as a disciple yet. He’s merely relying on your Fu Family. In the end, he’s a Star Gate disciple. Our Talisman Sect lacks people, so what’s wrong with bringing him in?"

Feng Santong snorted coldly.

"Elder Feng, you already gave up on Ling Feng previously. Why cause trouble again now?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Fu Rong asked with perplexity.

Following him, he flew up into the air.

"Isn’t it just because of the Hao Family, damn it."

Feng Santong gnashed his teeth.

When Jin Yixiu was inscribing a talisman, he was impacted by Hao Dachong’s spiritual power and suffered a backlash, leading to a deviation in cultivation and making it impossible to carry on his mantle.

Upon unexpectedly learning that Ling Feng had become a Great Divine Thought Master at such a young age and with such talent, and had also joined forces with Fu Rong to heavily injure Hao Dachong, he grew increasingly excited.

Unable to contain himself, he came to seize the person.

"Elder Feng, Ling Feng has great importance to my Fu Family. I implore you to seek someone else!"

Fu Shanhai said.

Meanwhile, he unleashed a powerful Foundation Establishment True Essence wave.

Ling Feng was utterly unable to discern what level of power the fluctuation on Fu Shanhai belonged to, and since Fu Shanhai’s aura wasn’t directed at him, he still felt as though he would suffocate.

Even if he had assembled the twelve original powers, he felt Fu Shanhai could still kill him with a flick.

The opponent’s strength seemed to transcend comprehension.

"Give him to me, and if I inscribe an upper-grade talisman in the future, I’ll give one to your Fu Family and have Ling Feng serve your Fu Family."

Feng Santong countered.

"Elder Feng, don’t force me."

Fu Shanhai was relentless.

If Ling Feng was taken away by Feng Santong, then the soul transfer could not occur.

All the effort would be for nothing.

Last night, he had already contacted Master Tianshui, who agreed to come over from Titan Star within these two days.

"Feng Santong, you know the state my Fu Family is currently in, and it’s rare for us to find someone like Ling Feng. Why would you still try to take him away? What are we supposed to do?"

Zhou Shi said angrily.

The couple blocked Feng Santong’s path in the air.

Feng Santong still held onto Ling Feng’s arm, unwilling to let go. Jin Yixiu was his heir and could no longer inherit his mantle, and looking across the entire Star Gate, Ling Feng was the best candidate.

But remembering how he had previously given up on Ling Feng, and now coming back to snatch him, only to be blocked by Fu Shanhai and Zhou Shi, even if he could take Ling Feng away, if they reported it to headquarters, he would have to return him.

"Elder Feng, as I said, Ling Feng is extremely valuable to my Fu Family. Once the time is ripe, if you still need him to serve the Talisman Sect, I won’t stop you."

Fu Shanhai said, trying to calm the situation.

Once the soul transfer succeeded, Young Master Fu would become Ling Feng, so if Ling Feng joined the Talisman Sect, it would be equivalent to Young Master Fu joining, resulting in only benefits for the Fu Family.

Upon hearing this, Feng Santong knew this was Fu Shanhai’s greatest concession.

Coupled with Ling Feng being caught in the middle, he hesitated and was about to release Ling Feng’s arm when he suddenly sensed a strange aura from Zhou Shi.

At that moment, he detected a unique array power fluctuation.

"Why does Madam Fu have array fluctuations on her, and such a unique sacrificial array power?"

Feng Santong asked in surprise.

As a Talisman Master, when inscribing talismans, it is necessary to use divine thought to seal the magic spell on the talisman paper, and even origin power and spiritual essence may be needed to strengthen the spell’s power.

The saying goes that everything changes yet returns to the root.

As a powerful Talisman Master, Feng Santong could detect unique array power fluctuations. He knew that the array aura fluctuation on Zhou Shi did not originate from a Dao Platform.

"What sacrificial array? I don’t know what you’re talking about, stop making things up."

Zhou Shi’s eyes darted evasively.

Knowing that Master Tianshui would arrive soon, Zhou Shi and Fu Shanhai could only hurry the arrangement of the sacrificial array. Although they had studied arrays, they were not yet mature and strong Array Masters.

During setup, they needed to remotely consult with Array Masters for guidance, inevitably encountering some problems.

Of course, to be foolproof, they also invited an Array Master who was on the way.

"My master was once schemed against by a villain and died in a sacrificial array. This special fluctuation imprinted on my memory, and the residual aura on you is indeed from a sacrificial array."

Feng Santong confirmed firmly.

At the same time, he quickly released divine thought waves.

As a Talisman Master, Feng Santong’s transcended Super Divine Thought Power had undergone transformation. Although his telekinesis was not as strong as a Soul Master’s soul power, it had grown over the years through constant inscription of talismans.

In a sense, his telekinesis was now another form of soul power.

Previously at the Talisman Sect, he couldn’t monitor the Fu Family’s every move, but now in the Fu Family basin, his active release of soul power waves instantly enveloped the entire area.

He pinpointed the location of the sacrificial array.

"Boom!"

Under the worried presence of Fu Shanhai and Zhou Shi, Feng Santong flew through layers of barriers with Ling Feng, reaching outside Fu Shanhai’s cave, in a mountain valley.

A broken sacrificial array appeared before them.

Young Master Fu stood nearby.

"Old Fu, I’m late, but for the sacrificial array, let me personally set it up for you!"

Meanwhile.

Outside the valley, a blinding white light appeared as an array materialized from thin air, from which a red-robed Array Master emerged, laughing heartily.

"Elder Feng, this is my cultivation treasure land, please leave immediately or don’t blame me for not being courteous."

Fu Shanhai said sternly.

Feng Santong suddenly flew over, catching everyone by surprise. By the time they reacted, it was too late to stop him.
