Chapter 162

Of course, besides that, there was still some simmering resentment.

You look down on our Dahe Jiangong, yet turn around and join a small clan in some remote backwater—how is that supposed to leave our Dahe Jiangong with any face at all?!

At that moment, listening to the discussion of the adopted son and daughter beside him, Pei Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes and gazed into the distance.

He stared at Cangwu Mountain, which had already begun to appear in his field of view, and murmured, "Today, I will let you understand just how wrong and foolish your choice truly was…"

At this point, he had long since made his plans.

Once the Jiang clan was forcibly suppressed, if Gu Xingjian still couldn't tell good from bad, then he would personally destroy him with his own hands.

As the saying goes, what I cannot have, let no one else even dream of having!

He, Pei Qingfeng, as a Moon Wheel realm cultivator, had given Gu Xingjian several chances already—that could already be considered an immense show of grace.

Yet the other party had repeatedly refused to give him face, and even joined this small clan, dragging the entire Dahe Jiangong into disgrace along with him.

It was time to settle this score.

Soon, Cangwu Mountain had arrived.

Pei Qingfeng looked down from above, casting a glance at the Shanmen below, with not the slightest interest in stopping.

How could a mere small clan with only a Primordial Sea cultivator stationed there possibly qualify for him to dismount and visit on foot?

He extended his right hand and lightly patted his mount.

Receiving the command, the white eagle beneath him suddenly accelerated, instantly passing over the Shanmen and entering the interior of the Jiang clan's grounds.

However, the moment he set foot within the grounds, something unexpected happened.

The Spirit-Binding Grand Array took effect!

In that instant, Pei Qingfeng, this Moon Wheel realm cultivator, did not notice anything.

But Pei Bu and Pei Shan's faces changed drastically; in horror they discovered that their own strength was being suppressed by something, plummeting instantly to the Innate realm!

How could this be?!

The two of them trembled, greatly shocked.

They had never witnessed such a bizarre scene!

At the same time.

Because the Spirit-Binding Grand Array did not only take effect on human cultivators, but applied to all living beings.

So the white eagle mount beneath everyone was affected along with them!

Under the terrifying suppression of the Spirit-Binding Grand Array, this white eagle's cultivation realm instantly plummeted from Primordial Sea to Purple Mansion realm!

The sudden, massive upheaval caused it to lose control of its strength, lose its balance, spin wildly through the air in a full three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotation, and crash into the Jiang clan's grounds!

Facing the sudden change before their eyes, the three hurriedly dismounted from the white eagle, keeping their bodies temporarily suspended in midair.

And at that moment, the white eagle, carrying a powerful impact, slammed violently into the ground!

Boom—

A tremendous, muffled roar rang out; the ground was instantly shattered to pieces, the scene a complete mess!

And the white eagle's body was also covered in many gruesome wounds, blood splattering in all directions, feathers flying everywhere, its appearance utterly wretched.

After several breaths, Pei Qingfeng descended to the ground with a dark expression.

He gazed upon the horrifying scene before him and could not help but feel a surge of smoldering fury.

He had never imagined that the moment he arrived at Cangwu Mountain, his precious mount would suddenly plummet from the sky.

Judging by the looks of it now, it had likely been grievously injured from the fall, and would not recover without several months' time.

"Strange—what on earth just happened?"

Pei Qingfeng's brows knitted tightly; he found it hard to comprehend.

But just then, Pei Bu and Pei Shan, who had just landed, provided him with a clue.

"Foster Father, something is odd here—just now our cultivation bases were all being suppressed…"

Hearing this, a faint flicker passed through Pei Qingfeng's eyes, as if he had thought of something. He immediately released his spiritual sense, sweeping it over his precious mount, and only then discovered that the cultivation aura emanating from the mount was, shockingly, only at the Purple Mansion realm level.

"In just an instant, it suppressed both human and beast's cultivation bases…"

"Could it be that a grand array capable of suppressing living beings' cultivation bases has been set up here?"

As the Palace Master of Dahe Jiangong, and moreover as a Moon Wheel realm cultivator who had comprehended the Sword Heart and earned the title of "Sword Marquis."

In his daily life, he had a wide circle of friends, and naturally had dealings with quite a few array masters.

And the scene before his eyes happened to match the effect that a certain type of array could produce!

"A grand array?"

Pei Bu and Pei Shan exchanged glances, a look of astonishment appearing in both their eyes.
