Chapter 6028: Changing Sides

Most people were looking to profit from the Redsoul Sect’s young master, but Zhao Zhuyin joined his side because she didn’t want to miss this event. She had merely turned down the flagbearer position because she didn’t want to take up a leadership role.

The fact that Zhao Zhuyin could join the team meant that the Redsoul Sect’s young master didn’t turn her down. He didn’t know her identity, but he could tell that she had a strong backing, so he didn’t want to offend her.

A voice echoed once more, but this time, it came from the sky.

It informed them that there were many formations in this realm, and deciphering those formations would grant them benefits. These benefits needed to be collected using a special container, which was none other than the empty tokens they had previously obtained.

Those who didn’t have the empty tokens stood a chance too.

A formation would later appear in the sky, which flagbearers could challenge. Those who breached the formation would be able to produce empty tokens.

Another surge of spirit power rippled across the sky and manifested into a formation.

This formation was located extremely high up as if it had transcended the boundaries of the realm like the sun in the sky. It was far away, but the crowd could see it no matter where they were in this realm.

The crowd trembled in excitement.

Most had gotten this far by following their stronger peers, so only a small handful of people possessed the empty tokens. This event was intended for those with empty tokens, so they were overjoyed to get a chance to obtain empty tokens.

This was especially so for the present-era cultivators who joined Chu Feng’s team. They were confident in Chu Feng’s ability as a world spiritist.

Some were also frustrated to learn that, notably the juniors of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion whom Chu Feng had turned away. Many of them didn’t have empty tokens, which meant that they wouldn’t be able to benefit from this trial.

Just then, the voice echoed once more, “Another reminder. If you believe that the current flagbearer is incompetent, you may choose to join another team, but you will only get one chance to do so. Please select with utmost prudence.”

The crowd frowned. They didn’t think that they would get to select their flagbearers as they were separated based on their eras earlier.

So, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors immediately turned to the Redsoul Sect’s young master, hoping that the latter would take them in.

The Redsoul Sect’s young master happened to look at them too, but he turned away with a sneer right away and continued examining the formation in the sky. He didn’t say a word, but his actions said that they needed to know.

Why would he take in the present-era cultivators when he looked down on them?

The juniors of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion lowered their heads in disappointment.

It was then that a voice that only Chu Feng and the Redsoul Sect’s young master could hear echoed, “Flagbearers, help your followers forge empty tokens and gather energy. The more energy they gather, the greater your benefits.”

The Redsoul Sect’s young master turned to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors. Some were preparing to leave this square, knowing that there was no point in staying here. They were planning to find other ways to obtain the benefits. If even that didn’t work, they could only accept their fate.

“Some of us might be narrow-hearted here, but that’s not the case for everyone. You might be present-era cultivators, but I’ll allow you to join my team,” the Redsoul Sect’s young master said before enveloping the square with his flag’s formation again.

“This...”

This surprised many people.

Only Chu Feng knew that the Redsoul Sect’s young master simply wanted more people to join his team so that he could obtain more benefits, but he didn’t bother exposing the latter.

“We’re all here to get something out of this. Since someone is giving us a way out, there’s no reason for us to turn it down,” one of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors said before flitting over to the Ancient Era’s juniors’ side. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His body glowed, indicating that he had joined the team of the Redsoul Sect’s young master.

Those without a team were initially hesitant, but with someone from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion taking the lead, the rest soon made up their minds, resulting in more and more people throwing their lot with the Redsoul Sect’s young master.

In the end, those who had been rejected by Chu Feng went with the Ancient Era’s juniors.

“Everyone, do you see that? Some people are willing to do anything for their interests. Their decision has convinced me that if a conflict breaks out between the present-era cultivators and Ancient Era’s cultivators, some of them will betray us for their interests,” Qin Xuan sneered.

“Shut up, Qin Xuan. Don’t forget your Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s place. You can be assured that I’ll report this matter to our elders. I will remember every one of you,” the junior from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion who first joined the Redsoul Sect’s young master said.

That was a threat. He dared not say such words previously, but his guts were inflated now that he had the Redsoul Sect’s True God backing him.

However, Qin Xuan scoffed in disdain, saying, “A measly nobody whose name I don’t even know dares to threaten me? Go ahead and say whatever you want. Did you think that such words would make me cower in fear?”

He meant those words. He didn’t think highly of these Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors because he had the right to do so.

But that wasn’t true for everyone. Many people who followed Chu Feng panicked. They would be destroyed if the powerful Seven Realms Sacred Mansion went after them over this.

The Redsoul Sect’s young master keenly detected their concerns and said, “Even a beast knows to choose the right log to rest on. We came here in search of greater power; there’s no right or wrong here. I trust that you don’t want to return empty-handed either. As long as you join my side, I’ll make sure that you get a share of the pie too.”

Those words moved many.

“I’d like to see who dares to go!” Qin Xuan roared, even releasing his oppressive might.

However, an even more powerful surge of oppressive might dissipated his intimidation. It was from the Redsoul Sect’s young master.

The Redsoul Sect’s young master looked at Qin Xuan in disdain and said, “Are you picking a fight here? Aren’t you a domineering one? But I’m afraid you don’t call the shots here.”

“Brother Yuwen.”

Qin Xuan knew that he wasn’t a match for the Redsoul Sect’s young master, so he turned to Yuwen Yanri. He knew that Yuwen Yanri was their trump card here.

Yuwen Yanri glanced at Chu Feng.

The latter simply chuckled before turning around to address those on his team, “It’s fine with me. Those who wish to go may go.”

“Young hero Chu Feng, we don’t mean any offense. It’s just that we can’t afford to offend the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. I’m grateful for your understanding.”

Such voice transmissions were relayed to Chu Feng.

Many who had previously chosen to side with Chu Feng retracted their auras from the flag’s formation, resulting in them losing their glow. They then made their way to the Ancient Era’s juniors, and they began emanating a light identical to that of the Redsoul Sect’s young master.

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors smirked in glee.

The Redsoul Sect’s young master also felt triumphant. He thought that it meant that he would receive more benefits.

While many of the present-era cultivators chose to join the Ancient Era’s team, there was one person from the Ancient Era’s team who joined Chu Feng’s side.

That person was Zhao Zhuyin.
