"Don't be so blindly confident in the future!" Qin Feng glanced at Zhang Xianzong expressionlessly and said in a cold voice.

Zhang Xianzong was startled by Qin Feng's words. He quickly scrambled to his feet, a fawning smile on his face, and said, "Yes, yes, Master is right. This disciple will never be so arrogant again!"

Looking at Zhang Xianzong's obsequious manner, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

He sighed and said, "Get up already, stop pretending to be useless!"

Zhang Xianzong hurriedly nodded and bowed, replying, "Yes, Master, this disciple will get up now."

He paused briefly, then exclaimed with a sigh of admiration, "Master, you are truly amazing! My admiration for you is as boundless as a surging river!"

Qin Feng was unmoved by Zhang Xianzong's flattery. He ignored Zhang Xianzong's obsequiousness, frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did the Primordial Dao Ancestor use any means to restrain you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianzong's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed tightly, as if he were trying hard to recall something.

After a moment, he hesitated before saying, "I don't think so?"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Zhang Xianzong's answer. He said, "Should? That's not a definite answer."

"Think about it again. The Primordial Dao Ancestor wouldn't help you for no reason; he must have something in mind!"

"Therefore, he will definitely leave some means to prevent you from disobeying him!"

Zhang Xianzong's face turned even uglier, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, clearly frightened by Qin Feng's words.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, he said nervously, "This disciple really can't remember. When I came into contact with the Primordial Dao Ancestor, my mind went completely blank, and I don't remember anything..."

Seeing Zhang Xianzong's nervousness, Qin Feng comforted him, "Don't be nervous, relax. I'm just checking your body to see if the Primordial Dao Ancestor has left any restraining measures on you."

As he spoke, Qin Feng extended his right hand, and a gentle stream of divine consciousness slowly flowed into Zhang Xianzong's body.

Zhang Xianzong felt a warm power flowing gently through his body like a babbling brook, and wherever it passed, it felt as if every pore on his body opened up, bringing him immense comfort.

After a while, Qin Feng's expression suddenly turned serious, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his originally calm eyes.

As if sensing something amiss, he swiftly withdrew his hand without hesitation.

The movement was so sudden that Zhang Xianzong had no time to react. His body lurched forward, and he stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

"As expected, the Primordial Dao Ancestor left a means to control you within your body." Qin Feng's voice was deep and serious, revealing a solemn aura.

Zhang Xianzong stared wide-eyed in horror, his face filled with disbelief. His voice trembled slightly with fear: "Master...Master, what...what should we do?"

Qin Feng's brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep "川" (river) shape. He was clearly also feeling somewhat troubled by this sudden turn of events.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "This method is extremely well hidden, like a buried time bomb. It seems calm on the surface, but it is actually fraught with danger. Once it is triggered, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Xianzong's body suddenly began to tremble violently, as if he had lost control.

A painful roar escaped his throat, the sound echoing in the silent space, sending chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "Not good! The Primordial Dao Ancestor has made a move!"

In the blink of an eye, he immediately mobilized all his divine power, which surged towards Zhang Xianzong's body like a raging wave, trying to suppress the rampant disturbance.

However, this force was exceptionally strong. Although Qin Feng tried his best, a fine layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, showing the immense pressure he was under.

"Ahhh..."

Zhang Xianzong's screams echoed through the sky, as if the whole world could hear his pain.

His face became extremely strange, sometimes turning frighteningly blue, sometimes turning blackish-purple, with veins constantly bursting on his forehead, neck, and arms, making him look exceptionally terrifying.

At the same time, an extremely violent aura erupted from Zhang Xianzong's body, sweeping around like a black whirlwind.

This aura was so powerful that it was terrifying. Even Qin Feng, who was very strong, felt immense pressure when facing this aura and had to use all his divine power to resist it.

Seeing Zhang Xianzong in such agony, Qin Feng felt as if his heart was being scorched by fire, filled with extreme anxiety.

He stared wide-eyed at Zhang Xianzong, gripping his shoulders tightly with both hands, trying his best to suppress the violent surge within Zhang Xianzong's body.

However, no matter how hard Qin Feng tried, that strange movement was like a ferocious beast, rampaging through Zhang Xianzong's body, completely unmoved by Qin Feng's power.

Sweat gradually beaded on Qin Feng's forehead, and his breathing became rapid, but he dared not relax in the slightest and continued to grit his teeth and persevere.

Just as Qin Feng was racking his brains for a solution, Zhang Xianzong's body suddenly trembled violently, and then his eyes turned blood red in an instant, as if they had been soaked in blood.

Even more horrifyingly, his pupils vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only a patch of scarlet white, which looked extremely eerie.

Noticing Zhang Xianzong's unusual behavior, Qin Feng felt a sense of foreboding. He had no time to think and immediately retreated more than ten meters away.

Then, Qin Feng stared at Zhang Xianzong, his heart filled with surprise and doubt.

Just a moment ago, the violent aura emanating from Zhang Xianzong made him feel a chill; it was an indescribable power that seemed capable of easily tearing everything apart.

However, just when Qin Feng thought Zhang Xianzong would continue his rampage, that violent aura suddenly vanished without a trace.

Qin Feng frowned slightly, pondering to himself, "What exactly is going on? Why are the changes in Zhang Xianzong so strange?"

He kept a close eye on Zhang Xianzong, not daring to relax for a moment.

Because he sensed that although Zhang Xianzong's aura had returned to calm, he was even more unpredictable and even more terrifying than before.

Just then, Zhang Xianzong suddenly spoke up. "Qin Feng! I didn't expect to meet you so soon!"

Although the voice belonged to Zhang Xianzong, it sounded completely unfamiliar to Qin Feng.
