“Too dangerous?”
The old man smiled, then stood up and looked around.
“What’s the reason for the danger you mentioned?”
“Thaventt had the time to do anything since I left.”
The faint voice lingered in the darkness, becoming more and more ethereal as it spread. It seemed to carry an inexplicable feeling that made people feel cold and cheerless.
“II give you some more time, I’m afraid it’ll be too late…”
In the deep darkness, a woman’s voice was heard. At this moment, it was even sharper. Hearing the voice, Chen Heng raised his head and looked forward.
The so-called darkness did not have much meaning to a person like him. He could see everything that should be seen. Therefore, he could clearly see the scene in front of him and the figure standing there.
It was the figure of a woman. She was wearing the same robe as him, which represented the elders of the Red Lotus Society. However, she did not wear a mask on her face.
The power on her body was powerful and dense, which made people feel particularly terrified. She had already reached the threshold of Fourth Rank and was about to break through that peak.
This woman was none other than one of the three great elders of the Red Lotus Society. She was also the last person other than Philip and Delia.
“Tarilo…”
Chen Heng stood where he was and looked at the woman in front of him. He was noncommittal. He only said indifferently, “Compared to me, you’re the one who’s truly in danger.
“There’s may not be much on the surface. However, out of the three of us in the dark, you’re the one who’s hiding the deepest.”
Chen Heng could feel the power on the other party’s body. To be honest, Tarilo and Philip were both at the peak of the Fourth Rank. However, compared to Philip and Delia, Tarilo’s strength was genuine.
From what Chen Heng could sense, his opponent’s strength was mighty. Her aura was close to Fifth Rank. If they were to fight, the original Philip would not be her opponent. She would have quickly taken him down.
With such strength, in Philip’s memories, the other party’s performance was ordinary. It was as if her power was equivalent to Philip’s, and there was nothing unordinary about it. Obviously, the other party was hiding very profoundly.
“I don’t dare to compare myself with you.”
Tarilo looked deeply at Chen Heng, then sneered and said, “Philip, you hid too well.
“So well that even I couldn’t see that you actually had such strength.
“As for that idiot Delia, he directly fell in front of you. Even until he died, he didn’t know what was going on.
“Now that Delia is about to die, would it be my turn next?”
A cold smile appeared on her face. She had thought of many things. And she was also aware of the drastic changes that had occurred previously. This was very normal.
As the Red Lotus Association elders, they must have spies under the other party’s hands. They could send information back at crucial moments. The news of the previous incident had probably already been sent out by the informant and found out by Tarilo. And with the other party’s intelligence, it was
common for her to overthink.
“You clearly have powerful strength, but you’ve been hiding. You’ve even allowed Delia to die in front of you.
“The same goes for the Princess of the Oriel family. She’s riddled with problems…”
Tarilo looked at Chen Heng with fear in her eyes. “Now that Delia is dead, I’m afraid your next target will be me.”
She sneered as if she had seen through Chen Heng’s plans. Chen Heng just stood there and listened to Dale’s words. He did not comment on it. The other party connected the previous events. They thought that he had planned it for a long time.
However, this was a little unfair to Philip. Looking at the situation before, Philip and Delia did not have any plans. Even though they had some private things to hide, it was nothing much compared to the Tarilo.
Seriously, Tarilo in front of them was the one who hid the most. At the very least, if the power in front of them erupted, Delia and Philip would be unable to stop her.
She possessed such power, but she did not reveal it. Instead, she hid it. What was she trying to accomplish? Chen Heng thought about this question with interest. Then, he raised his head and asked softly, “So, this is your answer to my question?”
As his indifferent words fell, a slight tremble appeared in the surroundings. Vaguely, the earth trembled. A huge magic formation appeared and connected with it.
In an instant, light shone, and the quiet night was illuminated as if it was daytime. Chen Heng stood in the middle, as if he was at the center of the world, with an inexplicable aura.
“How is it?”
In front, Tarilo’s voice was heard. She looked at the spell formation before her, and a smug look appeared on her face. “I spent thirty years gathering materials to build this magic formation.
“It was originally used to deal with another group of people, but now it’s used on you.”
“Another group of people?”
Standing in the formation, Chen Heng looked at the formation in front of him with interest and then asked, “With your strength, do you still need to spend so much effort to build the formation?”
“There’s such a person on this planet?”
She was alittle surprised and asked back. Based on what she knew, the strength of this planet was not considered strong.
Overall, it was not even as strong as the previous Qika Star. The strongest people were just like Philip and Tarilo, who was close to the Fifth Rank at the peak of the Fourth Rank.
With Tarilou’s strength, she was already among the strongest group of people on the Hechi Star. With such power, she actually had to expend so much effort to build a magic formation?
“You don’t understand.”
Tarilo silently shook her head. “Even if this star doesn’t have one, it doesn’t mean that other places don’t have one.”
“Then it must have originated from another star.”
Chen Heng came to a sudden realization and fell into deep thought.
“There’s no need to care so much.”
Looking at Chen Heng, who was standing in front of her, Tarilo raised her head. “I have spent thirty years building this magic formation. Now, I’ll give you a taste of it
‘As soon as she finished speaking, the four directions shone brightly. In the distance, a huge stone statue shone brightly. In an instant, it was as if a star had exploded. Terrifying energy surged out from it and rushed out.
In the distance, a large number of Red Lotus Disciples were gathering. Under Tarilo’s orders, they began to adjust their power and control the magic formation to provide control and energy to the magic formation.
As for Tarilo herself, she was at the center of the formation. She directed the terrifying power toward Chen Heng. Only with her as the center and a large number of strong Red Lotus Disciples as support could the power of the formation be directed out.
Otherwise, the formation would probably explode. At that time, neither Chen Heng nor anyone else would be able to escape. Such a terrifying burst of power had reached Fifth Rank, far surpassing Fourth Rank.
Under the effects of this terrifying power, no matter who it was, as long as they were below Fifth Rank, they would not be able to escape the fate of being reduced to ashes.
Under the gaze of Tarilo, Chen Heng’s figure was instantly swallowed by the radiance, disappearing under the terrifying burst of power. This process lasted for quite a while.
‘The power of the formation was too strong. After swallowing Chen Heng’s body, it continued forward, directly destroying the hill in front of it like a sudden natural disaster. It permanently changed the terrain of an area.
‘When the power of the formation stopped, everything in the surroundings had already ended.
“It’s over.”
Standing on the spot and looking at the silent scene in front of her, Tarilo sighed softly. At this moment, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Yes, it’s over.”
Avoice came from the side, indifferent and devoid of any emotion. Tarilo’s body instantly stiffened. She looked behind her somewhat sluggishly. Over there, Chen Heng was wearing a long robe. His expression was calm and indifferent as he stood silently behind her.
The long robe on his body fluttered in the wind. It seemed that he was not injured at all. His entire person seemed to be unharmed. Even his aura did not fluctuate or affect much.
“How… could it be…”
Looking at Chen Heng, who stood there as if he was not injured at all, Tarilo’s face revealed an expression of disbelief. She could not believe that she could not deal any damage to the person in front of her after so many years of preparation.
Under that terrifying force, the other party seemed to be unharmed, standing there unscathed. However, how was this possible?
She had felt the power of the formation before. It was a potent force. No one below the Fifth rank could withstand it. Even a Fifth Rank existence would find it difficult to deal with it, and they couldn’t face it head-on.
Under such an attack, how did the other party survive?
“Could it be…”
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and her body began to tremble slightly.
“It seems that you aren’t too stupid.”
Chen Heng sighed and turned his gaze towards Tarilo. At this moment, the power in his body had already erupted. That terrifying power pressed down with a suffocating aura.
In just an instant, Tarilo’s body trembled uncontrollably. It was as if a terrifying beast was targeting her. She was locked tightly and could not move.
‘That feeling was as if she was being targeted by a powerful, extraordinary being when she was weak. Every cell, every piece of flesh and blood was trembling in fear.
Tarilo could not help but start to feel fear. She realized that the Chen Heng before her had already exceeded her imagination. He had already silently broken through and reached a higher level without anyone knowing.
This was shockingly the level of a Fifth Rank. Moreover, even among the Fifth Ranks, he was probably an extremely powerful existence. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a performance.
“No matter what, I still have to thank you.”
Chen Heng glanced at the other party and then said, “If you hadn’t brought all of your subordinates out, I’m afraid that I would have needed to spend some effort to find you.
“Now, it’s much more convenient.”
To set up the formation and complete the operation of the formation, Tarilo brought all of her subordinates out and placed them in front of Chen Heng.
It would have been troublesome for Chen Heng to find these people if not for that. After all, Tarilo’s subordinates must have many hidden bases. If the other party was focused on hiding, Chen Heng might not be able to find them in a short time. But now, it was convenient for him to wipe them out
directly.
“As for you, it’s time for you to give me an answer.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Heng turned around and looked at Tarilo. As his gaze landed, Tarilo’s body sank in front of him. A huge amount of pressure continued to assault her body. There was also a fatal sense of threat.
Sensing this feeling, Tali Lulu understood that the moment of life and death had arrived. If she could not pass this test, there would be no future for her. Therefore, she took a deep breath and finally kneeled slowly under Chen Heng’s gaze. She kneeled there and lowered her proud head.
“Tt seems that you have made your choice.”
Watching Tarilo’s actions, Chen Heng smiled and understood the other party’s choice. It seemed that the other party was also a tactful person. Under the current circumstances, she did not choose to fight to the death. Instead, she decisively surrendered.
However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case. It would be strange if he was really that fearless of death as a heretic. Moreover, surrendering to a powerhouse was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, to Chen Heng, Tarilo’s submission also meant that he had completely consolidated the Red Lotus Association’s power. At the moment Tarilo had submitted after Delia’s death, no one in the entire Red Lotus Society could oppose him. It could be said that he had completely subdued the entire Red
Lotus Society.
After casually walking out of the formation, Chen Heng looked ahead. Under his gaze, a group of Red Lotus Disciples sat on the ground, looking as if they had collapsed.
From its looks, the activation of the formation just now had exhausted a lot of their strength, causing them to sit on the ground, unable to move. Seeing this scene, Chen Heng shook his head inwardly.
It seemed that the Red Lotus Society’s strength still needed to be raised a little. The Magic Formation just now was indeed very exquisite. The power that erupted within a short period was enough to contend against a Fifth Rank.
Even the powerful Fifth Rank would have difficulty holding back against it head-on. If they had not met Chen Heng, this was practically an invincible power above the Hechi Star.
However, from Chen Heng’s point of view, this magic formation wasn’t utilized to its fullest. There was still a chance for it to be perfected. The Red Lotus Disciples before him weren’t strong enough.
Other than Tarilo, who acts as the core of the magic formation, the rest of the Red Lotus Disciples weren’t strong enough. Therefore, they were only able to display this much strength.
However, if they could replace these Red Lotus Disciples with stronger people, they might be able to display even more powerful strength.
“What is the name of this formation?”
Chen Heng paused for a moment before asking…
