Chapter 3189: Establishing Prestige
As the pale blue light curtain quickly converged and retracted into the water shadow crystal, everyone present immediately understood that Zuo Feng's final adjustment of the formation was all prepared for Weng Ben. To be more precise, it was prepared to deal with Weng Ben's mind and soul.
Zuo Feng waved his hand gently, and without further explanation, Amber quickly turned around and flew out of the formation. At this time, only Zuo Feng was left in the formation.
At this moment, Zuo Feng's hands danced quickly, and those yellow silk threads composed of runes flew all over the sky under his control. It looked very chaotic, but it seemed to have some special rules.
As these golden silk threads danced in the air, the operation of the surrounding formations also entered a special trajectory. The light in the surrounding formations first became extremely bright, and in the process of shining light, the energy of the formations was also more closely connected with each other.
This process did not last long. When all the formations were lit up, the light of the surrounding formations quickly dimmed. Moreover, as the light weakened, the power in the formation also gradually dimmed. In the end, people were surprised to find that the fluctuations of the formation were disappearing bit by bit.
However, those who had some understanding of the formation, because they witnessed the whole process with their own eyes, could clearly feel that the formation power was not completely disappeared, but was concealed in a more special way.
Those formations concealed themselves, but they would very obscurely transmit the power of the formation to the formation in the center. This process is slow to say, but under Zuo Feng's control, it took less than a quarter of an hour to complete.
The surrounding formations completely restrained their aura. Even a strong man who had reached the Condensation Period had to be extremely close to detect a slight fluctuation of the formation power.
Now, the only place with a little fluctuation of the formation power is the one in the center, where Zuo Feng had just buried it in Weng Ben's mind sea.
At this time, the formation in the center was also slowly changing. In the process of releasing the formation power, the formation was slowly merging with the surrounding scenery.
This was originally a valley in a group of mountains. If you look at it from a distance, it is the most eye-catching. But now the formation is in effect, not only is everything in the formation isolated from the outside world, but it also activates the effect of the illusion formation, turning this place into a low hill, blending with the surrounding mountains.
Now even those who don't know much about the rune formation have already seen that the formation in front of them is the "prison" built by Zuo Feng for Weng Ben.
This prison is specially used to imprison Weng Ben's mind sea, and the most important thing is Weng Ben's soul. The Flame Heart embedded in the formation, with that kind of small amount of slow release, maintains the high temperature in that small area, and there will be no problem maintaining it for hundreds of years.
In other words, as long as Weng Ben's soul is immortal, he will suffer hundreds of years of burning in the flames in this formation. And even if Weng Ben persists until the heat in the Flame Heart is exhausted, it does not mean that he is free. He will still be imprisoned here, suffering from the torture of darkness and loneliness, and it is an endless torture.
These were originally Zuo Feng's original plans, but outside the plan, he got dozens of leaf ** souls. The memories and thoughts of those before his death will continue to wreak havoc in Weng Ben's soul, and the most fatal thing is the emotions of those dozens of people, especially the various negative emotions before death, which will endlessly torture Weng Ben and make him spend every day in the future in pain and torture.
Moreover, the great formation in front of him is now consuming very weak energy, and it is not impossible to maintain it for thousands of years.
Even if the Ye Lin Empire sent people to look for it, how could it be possible to find this place accurately in this vast Tianping Plain. Even if someone flew over here, unless they came to the precise range of dozens of feet where the formation was located, they would not be able to notice that there was a formation here.
The reason why Zuo Feng controlled the formation and made the surroundings dark before was that Amber used the water shadow crystal to record it. The purpose is to make it impossible for the person who got the water shadow crystal to judge where Weng Ben was imprisoned from the surrounding environment.
If everyone was just guessing in their hearts at the beginning, now that it has come to this point, Zuo Feng's means and purpose can be said to be fully displayed in front of everyone.
From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that Zuo Feng actually trusts everyone very much, not only the Fengcheng warriors, but also the Luancheng warriors under Li Shang. Zuo Feng did not deliberately avoid them.
This made everyone see Zuo Feng's "cold-blooded" side, and also saw how honest Zuo Feng was to the people he trusted. In this way, while everyone was trembling with fear, they also felt a hint of warmth.
On the contrary, those who were originally close to Zuo Feng were very calm at this time. Some people even showed a little more awe and admiration for Zuo Feng in their eyes after seeing what happened to Weng Ben.
Tang Bin, Ika and the Li brothers felt this change in the Fengcheng warriors more clearly. Because they are also Fengcheng warriors, they can better understand the inner thoughts of those under their command.
Since the establishment of Fengcheng, everyone has only respected one person, that is, Zuo Feng, who is not yet 20 years old. Such a young man, in Fengcheng at that time, once used powerful means to directly kill a ninth-level peak ghost beast Qishe.
Everyone has seen Zuo Feng's wisdom and scheming, and his methods and abilities make them admire him. In addition to these, Zuo Feng is a leader they have never seen before. He does not have the airs of a leader, and will not easily sacrifice anyone. Even if it is an ordinary Fengcheng warrior, Zuo Feng will care about his safety.
This is the main reason why Fengcheng warriors, although from different forces, can quickly gather together. However, this Fengcheng team led by Zuo Feng also has some reverie.
Zuo Feng's own advantages are also his disadvantages. Because he cares too much about his subordinates, there is no obvious distance between them. While the warriors under his command are getting close to Zuo Feng, they will gradually lose their fear. This problem is not obvious at first, but as the team continues to grow, the problem will become more and more serious.
When a team loses its fear of the leader, its own ideas will occasionally override the entire team. Especially when facing danger, it is easier to put their own interests first. Slightly better people may consider the leader, but they will not consider the team or the entire force.
Such a team is too scattered. When there are few people, everyone gets along well like brothers and advances and retreats together. But once it becomes a large team, there are countless things that must be dealt with. Only by dispersing the manpower, the closeness with the leader at this time will make many people slack off, lazy, or even embezzle the entire force.
Tang Bin had foreseen such a problem a long time ago, especially when he was in Kuocheng. After the team of Fengcheng warriors expanded again, Tang Bin also found that this problem became more and more obvious.
Although he looked for opportunities to talk to Zuo Feng several times, his personality characteristics and limitations in his style of doing things led to Zuo Feng knowing where the problem was, but he never had a good solution.
But today, when Weng Ben's mind sea was imprisoned in the formation and began to be smelted and roasted in the most cruel way, the entire Fengcheng warriors changed subtly.
Zuo Feng finally established his own "prestige" in the team with such a ruthless method. The difference is that Zuo Feng used to have more "faith" but obviously lacked "prestige".
The ruthless means used to deal with Weng Ben gave Zuo Feng a strong deterrent power in the entire Fengcheng team, so that both "prestige" and "trust" were complete.
Now the group of warriors in Fengcheng not only retain their original trust in Zuo Feng, but also feel a little afraid in their hearts. Such emotions are somewhat complicated, but it is precisely because of this reason that the entire team will become more cohesive.
It was also from this moment that Zuo Feng went from being a "brother" to a "city lord" in everyone's mind.
Feeling the changes in the surrounding warriors, Tang Bin, Ikari and the Li brothers exchanged glances quietly, and even Ikari couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to the formation.
Everyone was extremely happy in their hearts, knowing that the power of Fengcheng had undergone a qualitative change, and their city lord had also changed. It was because of Zuo Feng's change that all Fengcheng warriors changed their original attitudes.
Unlike the shock and fear of other warriors in Luancheng, the city lord Li Shang was a person who had experienced countless changes. At this moment, she was looking at the closed formation, and her eyes gradually revealed complex emotions.
Recalling less than two years ago, the young man in front of her was just a young warrior who had just entered the muscle hardening period. Not to mention any foundation, even any small force had the ability to crush him to death.
But at that time, she felt that this young man was not simple, and he would definitely achieve something in the future. But she didn't expect that in such a short time, the young man of that year had changed so much.
For Li Shang, she would never look down on Zuo Feng's approach to Weng Ben. On the contrary, she was a little envious and jealous in her heart. If she could be as cold and resolute as Zuo Feng at a critical moment, maybe she wouldn't have to be trapped in the chaotic land for decades.
When many people looked at the area covered by illusions with different thoughts, a mist rolled in it. A slightly thin figure walked out slowly from it. The person who walked out of the formation was of course Zuo Feng.
Just after he came out, Tang Bin's eyes flashed slightly, and then he bowed down, and said respectfully: "Everyone in Fengcheng, congratulations to the city lord for his triumphant return and successfully killing a powerful enemy in the Yu Nian period."
The other Fengcheng warriors were stunned at first, and then they reacted and bowed down to the ground. Zuo Feng was stunned, but soon, an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
