Chapter 1313: Breaking The Prison

As Yi Feng returned the gesture, the old women were overwhelmed with fear and respect.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, we greet you..."

After a round of formalities, their excitement still hadn't subsided. They never imagined that one day they would be able to address someone as esteemed as Yi Feng as a brother. It was an honor that they could hardly believe, something that might not come even in several lifetimes.

It wasn't until Yi Feng invited them to sit that they gradually calmed down.

The seat of honor, which had once been theirs, was now occupied by Yi Feng. This was both expected and appropriate. Tree Venerable and Guo Jiannan sat on either side of him, their faces filled with reverence and excitement.

Even after a few cups of tea, they still couldn't fully calm their excitement.

Seeing the group of old men suddenly fidgeting like restless young boys, Yi Feng couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated. He decided to change the subject to ease the atmosphere.

"Everyone," he began.

"Now that you have these demon corpses, you should be able to recover your cultivation in the future. When do you think we can leave this place?"

While it was heartening to have made friends with these old men, Yi Feng still had his own plans to pursue, particularly his quest for death. Since the Demon Prison no longer posed any threat, there was no reason to stay.

At these words, the group's expressions turned serious.

After a moment of contemplation, Guo Jiannan was the first to speak, clasping his fists respectfully.

"Brother Yi," he said.

"We have been trapped in the Demon Prison for so long that our vitality has greatly declined. It's unlikely that we can return to our peak condition. We are truly ashamed. As for breaking out of the Demon Prison, we will have to rely on you, Brother Yi."

Tree Venerable and the others also clasped their fists, their faces solemn.

"Only Brother Yi can have a chance of breaking through the Demon Prison!"

At this moment, they no longer had the face to mention the title of "Sword of the Gods." After witnessing Yi Feng's terrifying cultivation, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed when they recalled their own former airs of superiority.

However, when it came to breaking out of the Demon Prison, they were still somewhat nervous. They didn't dare to speak too confidently, fearing that if something went wrong, it would damage Brother Yi's reputation.

Guo Jiannan, being the most experienced, thought for a moment before speaking with a smile.

"Brother Yi," he said.

"After many years of investigating the Demon Prison, we finally discovered a weakness a few thousand years ago. There is a flaw in the Demon Prison that deviates from the original perfect design. It seems that someone from the Snow Wind Island was negligent and didn't maintain the prison properly."

"With your profound cultivation, Brother Yi, if you were to strike at that weak point, you could definitely break through the Demon Prison!"

At these words, everyone's eyes lit up with hope.

Yi Feng immediately stood up and, with a wave of his hand, followed the group as they set out.

Not long after, they arrived at a dark lakeside. They stood quietly on the shore, observing the lake for a long time. The surface of the lake was completely still, with no ripples or spatial rifts to be seen. It appeared to be a self-contained world, flawless and impenetrable!

Instantly, everyone exchanged shocked and doubtful glances.

"This!"

"The space ahead is as solid as a fortress, completely different from before!"

"That's not right! I remember that there used to be spatial turbulence here, clearly a weak point in the Demon Prison!"

"Now there's no flaw at all. What are we supposed to do?"

Guo Jiannan stared intently for a few moments, his expression turning grim.

"It seems that the Demon Prison's formation has activated. Over the past few thousand years, it has repaired the weak point."

At these words, everyone's eyes filled with despair.

"Repaired?"

"So, does that mean the Demon Prison no longer has any weaknesses?!"

These two short sentences plunged everyone into deeper gloom. Even without saying another word, the oppressive silence was almost suffocating. The hope they had just found was now shattered before their eyes. There was nothing more despairing than this.

Guo Jiannan closed his eyes and let out a bitter laugh, sighing softly.

"Back then, when we were sealing the demons, I invited many formation masters to create the Demon Prison, hoping to create a place of absolute despair, cut off from the world. The formation truly is formidable. In just a few thousand years, it has repaired its own weaknesses..."

"Who would have thought that I would be the one to trap myself? Now I will be trapped here for eternity, and I have even dragged all of you down with me!"

Everyone felt a pang of sorrow, standing stiffly by the lakeside with their heads bowed. Their last hope had been extinguished, and it almost shattered the resolve they had maintained for tens of thousands of years.

However, when Guo Jiannan awkwardly turned around, ready to apologize to Yi Feng, he was shocked to find that Yi Feng had already stepped forward, holding his sword with both hands. He seemed completely unaffected by the group's despair. Though he exuded no aura, the pressure he emitted was terrifying.

Seeing the ancient longsword in Yi Feng's hands, Guo Jiannan felt a chill in his heart, and all his words caught in his throat.

Before Guo Jiannan could take a closer look, Yi Feng had already reached the lakeside. With both hands gripping the sword, he swung it down in a vertical slash!

"Crack!"

The sound was like thunder, and the blade's light split the heavens and the earth!

The lake was cleaved in two, and the blade's light continued to slash forward for thousands of miles without stopping. Everything in its path was forced to retreat. The space at the end of the lake shattered instantly, and sunlight poured in from the outside world. Spiritual energy began to flow in continuously.

The Demon Prison had been forcibly split open!

With a single slash, Yi Feng had shattered the void, leaving everyone in stunned silence!
