134: Ge Feng

Lu Ze followed its front paw and saw a pile of rocks gathered not far away, frozen solid by the icy cold.

"Can you find something there to free you from your restraints?"

The Little Ice Dragon immediately nodded.

Lu Ze strode towards the pile of rocks.

He saw that the ice layer on the rock pile was several meters deep, but breaking through it was not difficult.

Lu Ze's aura sank, and a significant amount of Spiritual Qi gathered on his sword!

"Whoosh!"

The blade was instantly covered in Spiritual Qi, which pulsed like flames!

Lu Ze aimed at the ice layer and chopped down fiercely!

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the ice layer shattered completely!

The rock pile also became visible!

Lu Ze used his sword to pry open the rocks, just about to see what was inside.

Suddenly!

A sinister voice came from behind Lu Ze, "Boy, you don't need this Different Lightning anyway."

Lu Ze turned around and saw an ethereal spirit floating in the air.

The person appeared to be a man in his forties or fifties, with a scraggly beard and tattered clothes that barely covered his body, but the badge on his chest was very conspicuous.

Lu Ze had seen this badge before; it was the same as Feng Yue's.

The man looked Lu Ze up and down, also noticing the special pattern on his clothes. The spirit moved, circling Lu Ze once, "You, boy, are also from the Demon Subduing Division? This pattern doesn't seem to be from our time. Oh right, so many years have passed, maybe they designed a new one, but the main elements haven't changed. These are your new clothes, much better than what we had back then. Can this thing resist damage to a certain extent?"

Seeing that this person had no ill intentions and was a Senior from the Demon Subduing Division, Lu Ze raised his hand and said, "Hello, Senior."

"Haha, no need to be so formal. I just had a head start, being born a few hundred years before you. Just call me Ge Feng."

Ge Feng waved his hand and smiled, then asked somewhat eagerly, "How is the outside world now? Have the demons been almost wiped out by us?"

Seeing Ge Feng's expectant expression, Lu Ze chose to tell the truth, "No, over these past few hundred years, Human Bases have continuously fallen. Now, all the cities in the southern region are gone."

Upon hearing this, Ge Feng's expression suddenly darkened, "It's been hundreds of years, and things have only gotten worse. The future of humanity..."

At this point, Ge Feng couldn't continue speaking.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ze spoke first, "May I ask, Senior, why you stopped me?"

Lu Ze's purpose in coming here was for this Different Lightning. If he didn't help this Different Lightning break free, he wouldn't be able to subdue it and let the slumbering lightning devour it.

Ge Feng composed himself, looked at Lu Ze with a smile, "The moment you came in, I knew at a glance that you weren't simple, being able to find your way here from the outside."

Lu Ze smiled, offering no explanation.

"I know that this Different Lightning has always been a rare resource in people's eyes. If one can obtain it, their strength will surely increase greatly, but..."

Ge Feng looked at the Dragon not far away. At this moment, the Dragon was curled up, lying on the platform, its eyes fixed on them.

Ge Feng's tone suddenly became serious, "This thing is very evil. It's not a Different Lightning that naturally formed after the Spiritual Qi recovery. I died here precisely to seal this Different Lightning. Otherwise, this Different Lightning would have swept through the entire space, killing even more humans!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze frowned deeply.

"May I ask, Senior, what do you mean by 'not a Different Lightning that naturally formed after the Spiritual Qi recovery'?"

Ge Feng said, "You should know that all Different Lightning and similar things are born into this world with the Spiritual Qi recovery. And this world was created by a strong individual of our generation; everything inside is fabricated. After we entered here, we discovered the existence of this Different Lightning, and it was even helping the demons attack humans!"

"I've always suspected that this thing was carried by the Seventh-Order Demon Emperor back then, or perhaps it was a Different Lightning subdued by the Seventh-Order Demon Emperor, who knows. However, no matter what, it's best for this thing to be suppressed here forever."

Lu Ze pondered for a moment, his gaze also sweeping over the rocks that had just been slightly pried open.

Beneath the rocks was a formation, a very complex one, clearly laid by someone skilled in formations.

However, due to the passage of time, the runes on this formation had already faded significantly. It was estimated that after a hundred years, these runes would completely disappear, and there would be no possibility of confining this Ice Dragon Flame.

Lu Ze pointed below the rock pile and said to Ge Feng, "Senior, if Junior is not mistaken, this formation has already lost most of its effectiveness. Perhaps in the near future, this Different Lightning will be able to break free on its own."

Ge Feng also understood that this formation was laid by him at the cost of his life. It was precisely because of this that he managed to entrust his last bit of consciousness to the formation, barely surviving to this day.

But this entire cave was within the range of this Different Lightning. Although it was confined, it was constantly eroding the formation with its residual power.

Perhaps in a few decades, or a hundred years, when the formation perishes, he too will be annihilated, and this Different Lightning will return to the world!

Ge Feng thought for a moment and then said directly, "Boy, why don't you just tell me what you want to do."

This boy bringing up this topic surely had some plan in mind.

Lu Ze spoke frankly, "I want Senior to help me, together, to suppress this Different Lightning, so I can subdue it and make it serve me!"

"Hahahahaha."

Ge Feng suddenly laughed, "You, boy, I've lived for decades, and been trapped in this world for hundreds of years, but I've never seen anyone like you. Boy, you're so direct, aren't you afraid I won't agree?"

"Moreover, if I were to suppress this Different Lightning, I could also keep you here. You, boy, already have a Fourth-Rank cultivation. With your strength, you should be able to extend the duration of this formation. At the very least, this Different Lightning won't escape within two hundred years!"

Lu Ze remained calm, "And after two hundred years?"

The smile on Ge Feng's face suddenly froze.

Lu Ze's voice continued, "What if no one finds this place within those two hundred years? Senior may not know, but this place is being opened for the first time, allowing us to come in and explore. If it's closed again for some reason after this, and then opened hundreds of years later, by then, both Senior and I will be dead, and this formation will naturally be useless. The Different Lightning will escape, and whoever comes in will die."

Ge Feng's expression showed some emotion.

Lu Ze continued, "Senior may not know, but in the outside world, not only are Human Bases constantly falling, but the personnel of the Demon Subduing Division are also sharply decreasing. Currently, the Municipal Demon Subduing Division I belong to only has about a hundred people left in this generation. Perhaps after a while, after performing some missions, there will be even fewer. If we can have fifty left after a few years, our generation would be considered numerous."
