âIrredeemable bastards! If Iâd known that you would not know repent I wouldâve killed you all! I shouldnât have allowed you to live till now!â
A voice sounded from beside Chu Feng.
It was not Chu Fengâs voice.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Chu Feng revealed a look of joy. A familiar figure had appeared beside him. It was Long Daozhi..
Long Daozhi was also the person that had seriously injured the eight of them.
âCity Master Long, please spare us!â
âWe were merely trying to scare Chu Feng. We never intended to actually kill him.â
Realizing that things had gone bad, the four leaders and four world spiritists all knelt and began to beg for forgiveness.
Theyâd given up on the idea of fleeing since Long Daozhiâs oppressive might had sealed off the region.
The only thing they could do now was beg for forgiveness.
âI can forgive your disrespectfulness towards me. However, to dare act disrespectful towards young friend Chu Feng, none of you shall live.â
As Long Daozhi spoke, he raised his hand and planned to send forth a palm strike to kill all eight of them.
âSenior Long, please wait.â
Right at that moment, Chu Feng suddenly spoke to stop Long Daozhi.
Long Daozhi was surprised to hear Chu Feng stopping him.
The others were also shocked.
They hadnât thought that Chu Feng would plead for leniency for them.
But, there was no reason for Chu Feng to plead for them. Could it be that Chu Feng was such a benevolent person?
However, to their utter surprise, Chu Feng said, âThese people have quite strong cultivations. Their source energies will be very useful. Please remember to help me gather their source energies before killing them so that I can have Milady Queen use them when she awakens.â
It turned out that Chu Feng was not pleading for leniency for them. Rather, he only wanted to collect their source energy.
Hearing Chu Fengâs words, the eight people were so furious that they nearly vomited blood.
âVery well, weâll do as young friend Chu Feng suggests.â
After saying those words, Long Daozhiâs palm struck down.
His martial power was like sickles and ferocious beasts as it struck the eight people, crushing them to pieces instantly. They had all been killed instantly.
After Long Daozhi retrieved his martial power, a spirit formation could be seen on each of his hands.
The spirit formations contained different things.
One spirit formation contained the treasures of the eight people.
As for the other spirit formation, it contained their source energies.
Long Daozhiâs intention was clear. He wanted to give all of them to Chu Feng.
âSenior, the items of those four world spiritists might be useful to me. So, I wonât hesitate to take them.â
âAs for the other four, theyâre your fellow clansmen. Perhaps their possessions might be useful to you. Thus, I wonât be keeping them.
âAs for the source energies, I need to keep them for Milady Queen. Thus, I wonât hesitate to accept them too.â
Chu Feng put away the treasures of the four world spiritists and the eight source energies.
Long Daozhi accepted Chu Fengâs decision without any objection. He knew Chu Fengâs temperament, and knew that if Chu Feng didnât want the four leadersâ possessions, he wouldnât be able to force them on him.
Because of that, he kept the treasures of the four leaders.
âAs the saying goes, one should return a gift upon receiving one.â
âSince Iâve accepted your gift, I should also return one in kind.â
âSenior, please have a look at this.â
As Chu Feng spoke, he took out the Dragon Vein Source Stone.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, you actually really managed to obtain the Dragon Vein Source Stone?â
Long Daozhi was so emotional upon seeing the Dragon Vein Source Stone that his body began to shiver.
Although emotional, he only took a single glance at the Dragon Vein Source Stone before hurriedly putting it away.
That Dragon Vein Source Stone was a treasure that could allow him to return to the Dragon Clan.
He had to handle it with extreme caution.
âSenior, I think that the knowledge of this place and the clues should be fake. I believe that there is only one Dragon Vein Source Stone here. The remaining three other Dragon Vein Source Stones simply do not exist,â said Chu Feng.
According to what Long Daozhi had told him, there should be four Dragon Vein Source Stones.
Chu Feng had obtained one. Logically, there should be three more.
But, Chu Feng had concluded that the other three Dragon Vein Source Stones did not exist.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, why do you say that?â
Long Daozhi was rather confused by Chu Fengâs proclamation.
He felt that the people from the Dragon Clan wouldnât have lied to them.
âI sensed the Dragon Vein Source Stoneâs aura the moment I entered this place.â
âHowever, I only sensed the Dragon Vein Source Stoneâs aura from a single location.â
âAt the beginning Iâd thought all four Dragon Vein Source Stones were located here.â
âBut now Iâve found out that thereâs only a single Dragon Vein Source Stone here.â
âNow that weâve obtained this single Dragon Vein Source Stone, I no longer feel any Dragon Vein Source Stoneâs aura anymore.â
âBecause of this, I concluded that there shouldnât be another Dragon Vein Source Stone here.â
âOf course thereâs another possibility. That is, someone had obtained the other three Dragon Vein Source Stones before we came here.â
âBut, I think that possibility is very slim.â
âAfter all, the Dragon Vein Source Stones are not so easily obtainable. Although weâve entered the Endless Abyss a bit later than the rest, itâs only a bit later. Even if others had managed to discover the Dragon Vein Source Stones, they shouldnât be able to retrieve them so quickly,â said Chu Feng.
âThat would indeed be quite strange.â
âBut, that doesnât matter to us. After all, I only need a single Dragon Vein Source Stone to return to the Dragon Clan.â
âThat said, it is all thanks to young friend Chu Feng today. Otherwise... I would have missed this Dragon Vein Source Stone.â
âI, Long Daozhi, owe young friend Chu Feng an enormous favor. I truly donât know how to repay young friend Chu Feng for all that youâve done,â
Gratitude filled Long Daozhiâs eyes as he said those words.
After all, returning to the Dragon Clan had been a dream throughout generations of people of his Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
It was all thanks to Chu Feng that they would be able to achieve this dream.
âSenior, youâve saved my life, and you are my benefactor. Thereâs no need to mention some minor help like this.â
âThat said, senior, how did you find this place? Could you have passed by this place by coincidence?â Chu Feng asked curiously.
Chu Feng felt that it would be understandable to say that he had encountered those eight people by coincidence.
But for Long Daozhi to also appear there, it would be too unreasonable to say that his appearance was also a coincidence.
âI was brought here by that strange tornado,â said Long Daozhi.
âSenior, were you inside that tornado the entire time or did you encounter another tornado afterwards?â asked Chu Feng.
âI encountered another one.â
âAfter being separated from you, I began searching for you. However, I was unable to find your whereabouts.â
âNot long afterward, I encountered that strange tornado again. When the tornado dispersed, I managed to sense your aura. Following that, I came here. It just so happened that I arrived at the exact time that those eight bastards tried to kill you.â
âSpeaking of it, this is truly quite strange.â
âIt seemed as if that tornado was deliberately sending me here to rescue you,â Long Daozhi also felt that things were too much of a coincidence.
âThatâs true. That tornado is truly quite strange.â Chu Feng narrowed his brows. He entered a state of deep contemplation.
âPerhaps it is a coincidence. After all, with how vast this world is, nothing is too strange.â
âIâve heard of stories where people encountered strangers that looked the same as their parents, and even had the same names,â said Long Daozhi.
âThatâs true.â Chu Feng smiled upon hearing those words.
He felt what Long Daozhi had said was correct.
After all, regardless of whether or not that tornado might be a coincidence or some sort of hidden profound mystery, since it had helped them, it was something good.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, do you know how to leave this place?â asked Long Daozhi.
Now that he had obtained a Dragon Vein Source Stone, Long Daozhi wanted to quickly leave and hand the Dragon Vein Source Stone to the Dragon Clan.
âSenior Long, you donât have to worry about that. This place only seems dangerous, but itâs actually not that dangerous.â
âAs for leaving this place, the method is actually also very simple.â
âAccording to my observation, all of us will be teleported out of here once the time comes. Even if we wanted to stay we wouldnât be able to,â said Chu Feng.
âHow long must we wait?â asked Long Daozhi.
âIt should be soon,â said Chu Feng.
âThatâs good, thatâs good.â
Long Daozhi was extremely happy.
Afterwards, they began to wait. Chu Feng and Long Daozhi did not chat excessively.
Chu Feng began to examine the Bloodmist Heavenly Exaltedâs blood-colored horsetail whisk.
