Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chapter 1482: Breaking the Formation!

Now, let’s talk about Jiang Feng at this moment.

He was surrounded by a vast expanse of white mist.

Logically speaking, the scope of this mist shouldn’t be large, yet he couldn’t see the end for a while.

It was as if he wasn’t standing at the entrance of the Xiang Family’s old residence but had been transported to some isolated, mist-covered wilderness.

"Interesting."

Jiang Feng chuckled playfully; he really didn’t expect that Uncle Jie could activate such a powerful array, which finally made it somewhat worthwhile.

At that moment, he took a few steps forward, squinted his eyes, and stared deeply into the thick white mist in all directions.

His sight penetrated everything, finally seeing in the depths of the vast mist, there were six positions, each with a large door.

There were six doors in total, made of unknown materials, five of which were closed, and only one was open.

A sense of desolation and antiquity lingered in the wilderness.

"This is indeed an array from an ancient heritage."

Jiang Feng nodded seriously, "It seems that old guy intends to trap me here until I die."

"Heavenly Gate Formation? Mu Guiying broke it in the past, the Liao people’s methods must differ from those inherent in China."

Jiang Feng’s understanding of the Heavenly Gate Formation wasn’t much stronger than an average person’s.

However, just from watching TV dramas, he knew this formation played a significant role in the Song and Liao battles back then.

If this array reached its maximum potential, it could transform the inner space into a true isolated predicament, equivalent to a small piece of the void’s cosmos!

Moreover, back then, the Liao Kingdom’s experts hid some weapons, magic artifacts, secret books, elixirs, and so forth in the Heavenly Gate Formation, further enhancing its destructive and lethal power.

But trapped in the array at the moment, Jiang Feng didn’t sense any aura of magic artifacts, evidently, this Heavenly Gate Formation was merely a replica. Given Uncle Jie’s capabilities, he couldn’t possibly unleash the true Heavenly Gate Formation; it was a feat that he could even imitate it.

As for magic artifacts inside, there was no need to think about them; they had long vanished and couldn’t be controlled by a mere housekeeper of the Xiang Family.

However, even if this replica Heavenly Gate Formation could exert just one percent of the true array’s power, it would be quite impressive.

"Ancient records say that the Heavenly Gate Formation is divided into six gates: Life, Death, Hui, Ming, Illusion, and Annihilation."

"The Death Gate is in the Northeast. It’s hard to enter, easy to seek life; the Life Gate is in the Southwest, easy to enter, and easy to be trapped; the Illusion Gate is in the center, ever-changing, easy to lose the way; the Annihilation Gate is in the Extreme East, it’s the array’s pivot; the Hui Gate is in the Extreme South, it’s dark as pitch, hardly manageable; the Ming Gate is in the Northwest, open..."

Consequently, most people would aim to break the array by going through the Ming Gate.

After all, among the six gates, only the Ming Gate is open.

However, based on his experience, Jiang Feng judged that as soon as one enters the Ming Gate, they might truly get trapped.

The unending mist inside is no doubt boundless, making it impossible to find the way.

History has never given anything for free, that Ming Gate is definitely a trap to lure the unwary!

"To break the array, one has to go to the most dangerous gate!"

"Finding life from desperation, that often is the least expected path to life!"

"The Annihilation Gate in the Extreme East is the array’s key point, once it’s broken, the array will surely melt away."

Once Jiang Feng thought this, he took big steps directly to the Annihilation Gate.

This door was tightly closed.

He didn’t forcefully break in but extended his hand to gently push the door open, walking in nonchalantly.

Inside the door!

Upon entering, it was as if he had plunged into clouds and mist, feeling surrounded by colorful clouds!

Amidst these clouds, the glow of talismans flickered!

These talismans were almost all legendary attack talismans!

There were Sword Talismans!

Thunder Talismans!

Stone Falling Talismans!

Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart Talismans!

Earth Sinking Talismans!

Sword Talismans!

...

There were countless talismans, and each talisman erupted with precious light, and powerful magical waves emanated, making one’s heart tremble.

Jiang Feng, having traversed the Cultivation Worlds, was not unfamiliar with such arrays.

Seeing such a scene, rather than showing disdain, he revealed intense disdain: "In a true Heavenly Gate Formation, every door would likely contain genuine Flying Sword Treasures!"

"The legendary ancient Meridian Divine Needle, Purple and Green Double Swords, Cosmic Light Disc, Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler, Michen Treasure Banner, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Extinguishing God Shuttle... they would all be inside!"

"Those are famous magic artifacts recorded in China’s history. Once the mechanism is triggered, they will attack, relentless, destroying both form and spirit..."

"But in this replica Heavenly Gate Formation, not a single magic artifact exists, only replaced by talismans, greatly reducing the power..."

"To walk through this Annihilation Gate and dismantle the array, one must follow a specific pace. If one takes a wrong step, it’ll trigger the mechanism and face attacks from these talismans."

"Hmm, do you think this can stump me?"

Jiang Feng sneered, then gathered his spirit, observing closely.

While observing, he nodded occasionally, as if seeing every detail.

A few minutes later—

"I know how to get out." He shrugged lazily: "No wonder it’s the great ancient formation, just this Annihilation Gate took quite some time."

Immediately, he started moving within the Annihilation Gate with special steps.

After several hundred steps, not a single attack talisman was triggered.

Easily, he reached the end of the Annihilation Gate.

At the end of this Annihilation Gate, there was another door.

But compared to the stern and ancient Annihilation Gate, this door looked more like a passage, allowing those inside to exit smoothly.

Unceremoniously, Jiang Feng opened the door from the inside and strolled out.

...

"Boss Wu, it’s over! It’s been almost five minutes, and the master still hasn’t come out. Could he really be in danger inside?"

A few subordinates asked Wu Feng nervously again, more anxious than ants on a hot pan.

"Danger?"

Uncle Jie, breathless nearby, laughed disdainfully upon hearing this: "You guys do like to imagine! Your master has been completely trapped by me inside; he’ll never come out! You can wait for him to go mad and die, then collect his corpse!"

"Impossible!" Wu Feng roared in anger upon hearing this: "With just a mediocre array like yours, you think you can trap my master? Keep dreaming!"

"Still so arrogant?"

Uncle Jie’s face was ferocious: "Fine, fine, fine! Since you’re so loyal to him, once I’ve caught my breath, I’ll initiate the array and trap you all too, let’s see how long you can yap!"

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly a playful laugh was heard, and a voice, spine-chilling, came out: "Who did you just say you want to trap?!"
