Chapter 1326: The True Great Power

By the time Guo Jiannan stepped out of the void, the forest was already enveloped in the darkness of night.

His cold eyes scanned the surroundings, filled with urgency!

But when he saw what was before him, he froze in place.

A few feet away.

Yi Feng was leisurely lighting a bonfire, roasting some kind of meat skewers, looking completely at ease. It didn’t seem like a scene of battle at all—more like a casual outing...

Guo Jiannan was dumbfounded.

He had rushed back, full of fighting spirit, expecting a fierce battle. He wasn’t sure about Yi Feng’s situation and had prepared himself for a life-or-death struggle.

But this? This was the scene he encountered?

For a moment, all his anger and urgency were stuck on his face, replaced only by shock.

After a few seconds, Guo Jiannan seemed to snap out of it.

He hurried forward and bowed.

“Brother Yi!”

“Where are the elders from the Wind and Snow Pavilion? Are you injured?!”

Hearing the concerned voice, Yi Feng turned and noticed Brother Guo.

Seeing him approach alone, Yi Feng stood up, puzzled.

“Huh?”

“Why are you alone? Where’s Brother Tree?”

The question struck a nerve.

Guo Jiannan lowered his head in shame, clasping his fists as he spoke in a low voice.

“Elder Tree...”

“Brother Yi, forgive me. My knowledge of formations is limited. The Ten Directions Desolate Extinction Formation is too complex, and I couldn’t break it in a short time. I had no choice but to give up for now.”

Yi Feng frowned, confused.

“You didn’t rescue him?”

“You didn’t even save him, so why did you come back?”

Hearing the reproach, Guo Jiannan’s eyes filled with even more guilt.

“Brother Yi, forgive me.”

“Those elders are no ordinary people. Even with your profound cultivation, I knew that two fists couldn’t fight against many hands. I couldn’t leave you to face them alone.”

“After discussing it, I decided to come back and help you fight together!”

His words were sincere, filled with remorse.

Guo Jiannan had been entrusted with hope, and he should have rescued Elder Tree. Now, things had turned out like this, and he felt he had let down Brother Yi’s hard-fought battle. Even as he spoke of helping, he felt ashamed to face him.

Unconsciously, his face lowered even further.

Hearing this.

Yi Feng finally understood everything and rolled his eyes in exasperation.

“It’s not as complicated as you think. Fighting together? Fight what? They’re almost rotting by now.”

The casual words made Guo Jiannan’s heart skip a beat.

Rotting?

Could it be...?

He suddenly looked up, only to see Yi Feng pointing into the distance.

Guo Jiannan then noticed that the nearby wasteland was littered with corpses, most of them decapitated. The only thing that stood out was the distinctive clothing, marking them as members of the Wind and Snow Pavilion!

At a glance, Guo Jiannan’s face turned pale.

Without waiting for Yi Feng to speak, he rushed forward to inspect the scene.

When he saw the severed head of the once-arrogant Elder Chen, his face frozen in terror, Guo Jiannan suddenly froze in place, his pupils trembling in shock!

Looking around, the corpses were all the elders who had been their enemies earlier!

Guo Jiannan’s eyes widened in even greater shock, and he stumbled back!

“This! This!”

Shock!

Complete shock!

The horrifying scene made Guo Jiannan’s mind reel. He couldn’t even form a complete sentence. He had never seen anything so terrifying in his life!

These were the high-ranking members of the Wind and Snow Pavilion, including some of the most senior elders!

In his understanding, there were only a handful of people in the world who could hold their own against such a lineup for even a day. As for those stronger, they were only spoken of in legends.

And now.

These once-renowned experts had all fallen here, their corpses discarded like ants outside the forest. The formidable power of the Wind and Snow Pavilion was nothing more than this?

How was this possible...?

Terrifying!

This was truly terrifying!

If word of this scene spread, it would shock half the world. Even the old monsters from some major factions would likely tremble at the news!

Brother Yi’s true strength was actually this terrifying!

Just who was this man?!

Guo Jiannan felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

After a long while, he finally managed to regain his composure.

Looking back at Yi Feng’s calm demeanor, his shock only deepened.

Suddenly, he felt incredibly small. To be able to call such a powerful figure “Brother Yi” was truly an honor he didn’t deserve...

At this moment.

Guo Jiannan finally understood.

No wonder Brother Yi had been so calm in his earlier messages. His strength was truly beyond comprehension!

All the worries he had earlier now seemed ridiculous. Guo Jiannan finally relaxed, unable to hide the shock and relief in his eyes, his face red with shame.

Brother Yi possessed such immense power, yet he had always remained low-key. Compared to him, Guo Jiannan, who had once been so arrogant and even thought of taking him as a disciple, now seemed utterly foolish.

Guo Jiannan stepped forward again and bowed, his face now filled with reverence.

“Brother... Brother Yi!”

“Your cultivation is profound. My earlier worries were shallow. I am deeply ashamed...”

Seeing Brother Guo’s flustered reaction, Yi Feng smiled and reassured him.

“We’re friends. No need to be so formal.”

“These small fries aren’t worth worrying about. Right now, the important thing is to rescue Brother Tree. That’s what matters!”

Hearing this.

Guo Jiannan snapped back to attention and bowed again, amazed that Brother Yi was still so approachable. He felt even more awed, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration!

This... this was the true great power.

“Brother Yi is absolutely right!”

“Thank you for your righteous assistance. We will remember this for the rest of our lives. To have the fortune of knowing you is truly a blessing!”

The more he spoke, the more formal he became, making Yi Feng a bit uncomfortable.

Unable to handle such enthusiasm, Yi Feng used Elder Tree’s safety as an excuse to urge him on. Guo Jiannan then hurried back to the Red Moon Forest to continue breaking the formation and rescuing his friend.

Watching Brother Guo leave with such determination, Yi Feng felt confident that he would succeed. With no more threats around, it was only a matter of time before Elder Tree was freed.

Everything had been settled.

The moonlight slanted down, stretching for thousands of miles.

The night wind was cold, and the shadows of the trees swayed across the mountains.

After a long while.

Yi Feng took out a jug of wine, tilted his head back, and drank deeply. He gazed at the starry sky, his eyes calm and unreadable.

Then, he glanced once more in the direction of the Red Moon Forest...

Quietly summoning Manman, he waved his hand and disappeared into the distance...
