Chapter 5851: The Choice of the Ancient Eraâs Clans
The Ancient Eraâs clans saw everything that happened too, and the clan leadersâ faces warped in savagery. The Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief roared, âThat bastard is openly challenging us.â
...
Just then, Chu Feng waved his sleeves, and several figures tumbled out. They were the top prodigies of the Ancient Eraâs clans. Zhao Gongyi was among them too. However, all of them were skewered together by a single chain.
Chu Feng held the end of the chain in his hand. He shook the chain, and a loud rattling sound was produced alongside cries of agony. It was the cries of the Ancient Eraâs top prodigies.
âWhatâs that bastard doing? Does he take our juniors to be livestock?â The Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief raged.
The Seven Realms Immortal Pavilionâs Pavilion Master and the others also revealed wrathful looks. Those juniors werenât just the top prodigies of their clans; some of them were even their close kin. Yet, Chu Feng played with them as if they were no more than toys.
In contrast, those from the Ancestral Martial Galaxy were excited by that sight.
From the explanation of the Hidden Dragon Martial Sectâs sectmaster, they learned that those skewered here were the Ancient Eraâs top prodigies. They had tried to unravel their protective formation by attacking the formation core, but Chu Feng subdued them.
It was fortunate that they failed, or else that would have been a catastrophic blow to their Ancestral Martial Galaxy.
These prodigies were put in an awkward position due to Chu Feng.
âKneel!â
Chu Feng tugged the chain, and all of the Ancient Eraâs top prodigies kneeled neatly on the ground.
Their kneeling positions were peculiar. When a group of people kneeled in a row, they were aligned by the height of their knees. Yet, these people kneeled at different heights, with the largest Stone Hammer Monstrous Clansman kneeling at the lowest height.
The Ancient Eraâs top prodigies were being aligned by their necks, as their necks had been strung across a chain,
âThat bastard!â The Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief couldnât stand it anymore and marched out of the formation realm. He angrily roared to Chu Feng, âLittle bastard, what are you trying to pull here?â
As Chu Feng was standing by the edge of the protective formation, and the Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief was massive, he could see the latter, and he could sense that it was an existence transcending True God level.
However, he wasnât worried due to the protective formation. He clenched the chain even tighter than before and whipped out a formation blade. The formation blade swiftly extended until it was over ten thousand meters long.
He placed the formation blade on the necks of the juniors. It turned out he made them kneel in such a manner so that he could place his blade on their necks at the same time!
âHand over your offensive formation if you donât want them to die,â Chu Feng said.
âIâll massacre your clan if you dare touch them!â
The Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief got so close that the two of them were only divided by the protective formation. Its body was like an immense mountain before Chu Feng, and its voice was intimidating.
However, Chu Feng was unfazed. He snapped his finger, and an incense stick appeared in his hand. He sliced the incense stick such that only a tenth was left before lighting it up.
âI donât fall for threats. Go back and discuss it among yourselves. Will you hand over the offensive formation and retreat, or have your top prodigies die here? Iâll give you a tenth of an incenseâs time. Theyâll be dead the moment the time's up,â Chu Feng said.
âYou dare!â
The Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief glared at Chu Feng with eyes reminiscent of two moons viewed from close-up. Even its teeth were many times larger than him.
Yet, Chu Feng scoffed in the face of his threat, âYouâll know whether I dare or not once timeâs up.â
âSave me, grandfather! I donât want to die!â
âLord Clan Chief, please save me!â
Pleading voices echoed from the top prodigies, including Zhao Gongyi. They had seen what Chu Feng had done, and they knew that he was capable of doing anything.
âShut up! Arenât you embarrassed to be begging for your lives before a cultivator of the present era?â the Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief roared at the Ancient Eraâs top prodigies.
âHeâs capable of doing it,â a voice transmission was relayed to the Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief.
The other five Ancient Eraâs clan leaders received the voice transmission too. It was from Puppeteer Exalted.
âPuppeteer Exalted, do you have a way to save them?â
The clan leaders turned to Puppeteer Exalted. They could give up on the other juniors, but those people whom Chu Feng was holding hostage werenât just their top prodigies but their close kin too.
âThereâs only one way to save them, and thatâs to hand over the offensive formation.â
The six Ancient Eraâs clan leaders turned grim. In other words, Puppeteer Exalted was saying there was no way to save their top prodigies.
âThe choice is in your hands. I can hand over the offensive formation, but itâll be impossible to gather all of the items again. If we give up on this opportunity, weâll never be able to breach the Ancestral Martial Galaxyâs protective formation and access their treasures,â Puppeteer Exalted said.
The Ancient Eraâs clan leaders hesitated, including the Stone Hammer Monstrous Clanâs Clan Chief. They had come so far that they were reluctant to give up on it. In the first place, they had only come together due to the massive temptation of the treasure.
âPuppeteer Exalted, are you certain of success?â the Seven Realms Immortal Pavilionâs Pavilion Master asked.
âIâll offer you my head if I fail,â Puppeteer Exalted replied.
The Seven Realms Immortal Pavilionâs Pavilion Master turned his eyes away from the protective formation. This gesture revealed his decision.
âSeven Realms Immortal Pavilionâs Pavilion Master, are you going to give up on your grandson?â the Blood Phoenix Royal Clanâs Clan Chief asked.
âYou have seen Chu Fengâs means. Heâs not a coward. Why do you think he massacred our other clansmen, only to spare the lives of our top prodigies? He planned to threaten us right from the start. In truth, our juniors were already dead from the moment they lost to Chu Feng. They werenât strong enough, so they paid the price for it.â The Seven Realms Immortal Pavilionâs Pavilion Master sighed before closing his eyes.
His beloved grandson was among the hostages. It wasnât an easy decision for him to make.
The others fell silent. It was not that they agreed with the Seven Realms Immortal Pavilionâs Pavilion Master, but between their top prodigies and the future of their clans, they chose the latter.
