Chapter 791: Temporal-Spatial Golden Banner

Prince Kongkong believed himself to be clever, thinking He Pingsheng's token had been tampered with.

In reality!

It had not.

The token was flawless—instead, when the Phoenix Clan's Divine Emperor had scanned He Pingsheng's body with his spiritual sense to detect hidden magic treasures, he had silently left a mark within him!

Tamper with the token?

The Phoenix Clan wasn't that foolish—wouldn't that leave evidence?

And if anyone noticed and discarded the token, how would they ever track his location again?

"Gentlemen, we have now locked onto He Pingsheng's position!"

"Finding him and surrounding him is no problem!"

"The real question is: just how strong is He Pingsheng's actual combat power?"

"Does anyone here know?"

Feng Wanxi turned her beautiful face, glancing at everyone.

Everyone frowned slightly.

Combat power?

It must be immense—he had fought a Mahayana Emperor and survived!

But no one was willing to speak of these obvious facts.

Saying what everyone already knows is embarrassing.

"I'll speak," said Prince Kongkong. "In the past, I fought He Pingsheng myself!"

"At that time, he was still in Soul Transformation."

"His offensive power wasn't particularly strong—he dared not even strike me directly; it was his servant Zhou Qing who attacked!"

"Zhou Qing was a Body Integration powerhouse—I barely escaped her, losing an arm!"

"But I managed to flee successfully!"

"Based on my knowledge of He Pingsheng, his combat power is naturally formidable—he should easily dominate peers."

"After all, he's one of only two human prodigies!"

"But among those here, who isn't a prodigy?"

"Even if he defeats you, it won't be easy—and if we overwhelm him together, we can certainly kill him!"

After speaking at length, Prince Kongkong still hadn't hit the point.

Feng Wanxi could no longer hold back: "Yes, Prince Kongkong speaks well—but I have two points to add."

"As everyone knows, He Pingsheng not only moved freely among Body Integration powerhouses, but even survived a single strike from Mahayana Emperor Zhao Xiangdu!"

"Thus, everyone on the Flame Continent holds wildly exaggerated views of He Pingsheng."

"But in truth, his ability to contend with the Flame Divine Emperor and Zhao Xiangdu isn't due to his combat power—it's because he possesses two extraordinary abilities!"

"The first is his 【Spatial Instant Movement】 technique—without it, the Flame Divine Emperor would have killed him long ago!"

"Otherwise, a Body Integration powerhouse could easily erase him!"

"Second, he carries a red turtle shell—unassuming in appearance, yet a divine artifact of Emperor rank, immensely powerful!"

"Thus, the Phoenix Clan's intelligence indicates that He Pingsheng's defense and escape capabilities are invincible even within his own realm—and beyond it. In short, even Body Integration cultivators cannot touch him!"

"But… his combat power isn't nearly that monstrous."

"Perhaps his combat power exceeds most prodigies—even tops them all—we'll assume he ranks first among all prodigies."

"So what?"

"His combat power is ten; ours are seven, eight, nine—but we are many!"

"If we all swarm him at once, we can certainly kill him!"

As Feng Wanxi spoke, she rose from her seat, looking down at the prodigies seated on the ground: "Therefore, I've devised a strategy—please discuss it."

"To kill He Pingsheng, we proceed in three steps!"

"First, test his combat power!"

"I mean, send six or seven of us to attack him together."

"His body bears Zhao Xiangdu's 【Soul Chain Talisman】—if we kill this body, all his clones will vanish instantly!"

"Of course, he no longer has his crimson turtle shell for defense, so we must ensure one thing: seal his instant movement technique!"

She meant, of course, locking his 【Spatial Instant Movement】.

"That's simple!" Prince Kongkong chuckled, then waved his hand and produced a golden divine banner.

Boom…

As soon as the banner appeared, even before unfolding, a Mahayana Emperor's aura surged outward.

"This is the 【Temporal-Spatial Golden Banner】," Prince Kongkong boasted. "My father's personal Emperor artifact—his life-bound magic treasure."

"Once unfurled, it locks all space within ten thousand li—not only sealing He Pingsheng's instant movement, but even preventing ordinary 【Instant Movement】!"

"Of course, this seals space, not individuals—so if we're inside, we'll be unable to use instant movement either!"

"This you must understand!"

"Second step!" Feng Wanxi continued. "If the first test fails, we prepare the second."

Everyone's gaze returned from Prince Kongkong's Emperor artifact to Feng Wanxi.

"If six or seven cannot defeat him, sending more won't help—we must raise our cultivation. Two Phoenix Clan prodigies will forcibly break through to Body Integration!"

"Then, two additional Body Integration cultivators will strike—He Pingsheng will surely die!"

"Third step!" Feng Wanxi bit her lip. "If the second fails, twelve Phoenix Clan prodigies will simultaneously activate our 【Twelve Nirvana Shared Life Array】 to kill He Pingsheng!"

"Of course, I believe we won't need the third step."

"Well, what do you think of my plan?"

"If anything is incomplete, speak up!"

Then came a chorus of praise.

No one raised objections—Feng Wanxi's plan was already perfect.

Moreover, this plan was surely designed not by Feng Wanxi herself, but by the Phoenix Clan's high elders.

"Very well," said Feng Wanxi, her gaze sweeping the group. "Let's select the first team. The initial probe will be led by Prince Kongkong—seven in total."

"Prince Kongkong must unfurl the 【Temporal-Spatial Golden Banner】 to lock space!"

"He must not fail."

"Even if all of you die, Prince Kongkong, you must bring back the 【Temporal-Spatial Golden Banner】!"

"Understood!" Thrilled to receive the first combat role, Prince Kongkong stood. "Who joins me?"

"I will!"

"I'll go!"

"Me too!"

Many against one!

Seven against one—what's to fear?

Let's go!

Besides Prince Kongkong, there were two Kongkong Beasts, two Phoenix Clan disciples, and two prodigies from the Golden Peng Emperor Domain.

Thus, the seven-member team was formed.

Then, the seven flew toward He Pingsheng's location.
