âYou may check whether the sum is right.â
Lord Tiger took a puff of smoke while tossing a Cosmos Sack to City Lord Liang.
âLord Tiger, the sum is right,â City Lord Liang took a quick look at the Cosmos Sack and replied.
âThatâs good.â
Lord Tiger took the map with another handâor to be more exact, a cat claw. He took a glance at the map and asked, âCity Lord Liang, did you sell this piece of information to anyone else?â
âLord Tiger, I pride myself on my sincerity, so I shanât deceive you. I was intending to sell this piece of information to you only. After all, this matter concerns the Situ World Spiritist Clan. My head will roll if things go wrong. However, my benefactor happened to ask me about this matter, so I gave them this piece of information too,â City Lord Liang replied.
âDoesnât that mean that Iâll have another competitor? Whatâs the background of your benefactor?â Lord Tiger asked.
âI apologize, Lord Tiger, but I canât divulge that to you,â City Lord Liang replied.
âDoes your benefactor know that I was here?â Lord Tiger asked.
âRest assured, Lord Tiger. Youâre my esteemed customer, so I wouldnât sell your information to anyone, not even to my benefactor,â City Lord Liang replied.
âThatâs more like it. Alright, Iâll be leaving now. See you next time. If I get something good out of this, Iâll split a portion of it with you.â
With a wave of his hand, Lord Tiger rose to his feet.
âThank you, Lord Tiger.â
City Lord Liang also stood up to send his guest off. It could be seen from his attitude that both of them were on fairly good terms.
â¦
Chu Feng continued advancing according to the map. In order not to attract attention, he used a powerful concealment formation together with the Nine Dragons Saint Cloakâs concealment ability.
Even though Chu Fengâs spirit power had been growing stronger, he found that the Nine Dragons Saint Cloakâs concealment ability wasnât weakening in the least. Instead, it was growing more powerful along with him.
Due to that, the Nine Dragons Saint Cloakâs concealment ability remained powerful.
With this double layer of concealment, even a God-cloak World Spiritist would struggle to find him.
Soon, Chu Feng and Song Yuwei arrived at the area indicated by the map. It was a barren mountain range with hardly anyone in sight. No one would have thought that the ancient remnant was at a place like this.
In fact, Chu Feng didnât find anything amiss when he first arrived here. It was only through Heavenâs Eyes that he detected the presence of a disguise formation.
The disguise formation had been here for quite some years, which suggested that it wasnât the doing of the Situ World Spiritist Clan but the legendary world spiritist. If Chu Feng wanted to unravel the disguise formation, he could have done so even though it would take some time.
However, he knew that the Situ World Spiritist Clansmen were likely in there. He would surely alarm them if he started constructing a formation out here.
While he knew that the grand elder of the Situ World Spiritist Clan was weaker than the Asura King, such that he could go on an all-out massacre right away, but through the conversations he had with Song Yuwei along the way, he realized just how powerful the legendary world spiritist was.
The legendary world spiritist didnât just receive an invitation from the Totem Dragon Clan but the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion too. This showed just how formidable of an existence he was.
What was surprising was that the legendary world spiritist actually rejected the Seven Realms Sacred Mansionâs invitation but instead focused his efforts on supporting the Totem Dragon Clan.
Cultivators werenât good at exploring ancient remnants due to their limited utility. Instead, it was world spiritists who played a bigger role there.
The Totem Dragon Clan was a behemoth with many powerful cultivators under its command, but in terms of world spiritists, it was sorely lacking compared to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. This left it with no choice but to collaborate with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion whenever they discovered a new ancient remnant, which meant that they had to share a portion of the profits with them.
If only they had powerful world spiritists of their own, they wouldnât have to share the spoils with an outsider.
That was why the legendary world spiritist was highly regarded by the Totem Dragon Clan. He was a truly powerful world spiritist, likely to be a True Dragon World Spiritist. That would put him on par with True God level cultivators.
That made Chu Feng interested in the ancient remnant too.
It was unlikely that the ancient remnant would suddenly appear out of nowhere after so many years, so he deduced that the Situ World Spiritist Clan must have discovered something. It was not surprising since the Situ World Spiritist Clan was known to specialize in world spiritist techniques.
In view of that, Chu Feng decided to bide his time and only make a move when the time is ripe.
âI canât see anything special about this place at all. Is City Lord Liangâs information off the mark?â Song Yuwei asked.
She had also been scanning their surroundings but she couldnât find anything at all.
âElder Yuwei, City Lord Liangâs information is on the mark. Thereâs indeed an ancient remnant here, just that itâs hidden by a formation,â Chu Feng replied.
âAh? I donât see anything though.â
Nevertheless, Song Yuwei was glad to hear that they hadnât made this trip in vain.
âYoung master Chu Feng, are we able to enter the formation?â Song Yuwei asked.
âI am confident of deciphering the formation, but I donât want to risk alarming the Situ World Spiritist Clan. Iâm trying to see if itâs possible for us to infiltrate the formation without destroying the formation,â Chu Feng said.
He took out the Celestial Masterâs Horsetail Whisk, which was one of the ten treasures of the Celestial Masterâs Sacred Sect. It had the ability to protect its master, break formations, infiltrate areas, and rob fortuitous encounters.
When it came to exploring ancient remnants, the Celestial Masterâs Horsetail Whisk was indubitably a powerful tool that allowed him to leap ahead of his rivals. It was just that it had a mind of its own. There were times that it had helped Chu Feng, but there were also times it had left him to the lurch
The Celestial Masterâs Horsetail Whisk was not fully under his control.
Fortunately, it chose to help him this time around. It offered him a tip, pointing out an entrance in the formation. They would be able to infiltrate the formation by entering through the entrance.
However, before the Celestial Masterâs Horsetail Whisk offered its guidance, Chu Feng had carefully scanned the entire formation but couldnât find the entrance. Once again, the Celestial Masterâs Horsetail Whisk had proven its strength.
âMy darling treasure, you need to keep this up. Iâm counting on you here,â Chu Feng said.
âYoung master Chu Feng, did you find an opening?â Song Yuwei asked.
âMmhm. We can head in now,â Chu Feng replied.
âYoung master Chu Feng, youâre truly incredible.â
Song Yuwei was earnestly impressed by how quickly Chu Feng was able to find an opening in the formation. She wasnât even able to sense the formation at all, let alone find its opening. She had no choice but to count on Chu Feng here.
One must know Chu Feng was a junior who wasnât even a hundred years old yet. Even Song Luoyi, the most talented prodigy she had seen thus far, paled in comparison to him.
âElder, youâre flattering me. Itâs all thanks to this treasure,â Chu Feng replied with an awkward laugh.
He knew that he wouldnât be able to do this himself if not for the Celestial Masterâs Horsetail Whisk. All of a sudden, he froze up.
âWait a moment,â Chu Feng said.
âWhatâs wrong?â Song Yuwei asked.
âI sense someone observing this area too,â Chu Feng replied.
He activated his Heavenâs Eyes and started scanning the surroundings once more. He suddenly had a feeling that someone else was scanning the area. The other party was likely to be hiding as well, and he was planning to root that person out.
âHm?â
Chu Fengâs eyes widened in astonishment.
A suave white-robed young man with an air of loftiness suddenly appeared before them.
âIs it him?â
Chu Feng carefully examined the white-robed young man, but he was unable to confirm whether the white-robed young man was the person who had been observing this area earlier on.
All of a sudden, the white-robed young man raised his palm and struck it downward. The world trembled under the force of his palm.
Song Yuwei quickly dashed in front of Chu Feng to protect him, for she could tell that the palm harnessed the might of a Half-God level cultivator!
âHeâs a junior too, but he has already reached Half-God level?â
Chu Feng didnât sustain any injuries, but he couldnât help but have complicated feelings about the current situation. He could tell that the white-robed young man was a junior just like him.
One must know that Chu Feng was already the strongest junior in the Eastern Region, but there was still a huge gap for him to bridge before he could reach Half-God level. Yet, the white-robed young man in front of him was already at Half-God level.
It was hard for him not to be affected by this.
