Martial God Asura

Chapter 6117: Chu Feng Enters the Stage

“Elders, please lend me a helping hand.”

Baili Zilin bowed toward the spectator stand.

Figures dressed in red cloaks and white veiled bamboo hats rose from the spectator stand. Brilliant pillars of martial power gushed from those Netherworld Sectmembers toward the sphere that was at the formation realm’s center.

Given the humongous size of the formation realm, it should have taken a long time for their martial power to reach the sphere. Yet, it only took a blink of an eye for them to reach the spirit formation gates inscribed with Baili Zilin’s name.

The speed was the same for everyone regardless of their cultivation.

This was not due to the Netherworld Sect’s special means but the power of the formation realm.

These surges of martial power connected the spectator stand to the sphere, forming a majestic spider’s web around the sphere. From the number of threads, the crowd could tell that Baili Zilin had received the support of tens of millions of Netherworld Sectmembers.

The number was not impressive, with most powerhouses having hundreds of millions of members, but the Netherworld Sect was different.

Every Netherworld Sectmember must have reached a certain level of talent for them to be planted with a Netherworld Embryo and survive the ordeal. For tens of millions of such prodigies to be gathered in one place was a frightening thought indeed.

And this was far from the full extent of the Netherworld Sect’s prowess.

Many Netherworld Sectmembers couldn’t come as they needed to protect the Netherworld Sect’s many territories.

Countless names reminiscent of runes appeared on the surface of Baili Zilin’s bigger formation, and they slowly revolved around the formation. This showed that the Netherworld Sectmembers had correctly provided their support.

A peculiar aura suffused Baili Zilin’s bigger formation. As more martial power flowed into the formation, the aura’s color grew from light to intense. Even those far from the formation could sense it growing stronger.

“What formidable support Baili Zilin has! It looks like he’s sure to win this trial. Chu Feng might have made the right decision by not coming.”

The crowd gossiped.

Some even publicly insulted Chu Feng, especially those who had received gifts from the Netherworld Sect after witnessing the fight between Chu Feng and Baili Zilin.

“Master, do you think Chu Feng will come?” Huahua asked Daoist Starseizer.

She didn’t bother speaking via voice transmission as the three of them had already hidden their appearances behind cloaks and veiled hats.

Before Daoist Starseizer could reply, a white-robed old man sitting near them replied, “Chu Feng is a smart person. He won’t come.”

“How do you know?” Xia Xingchen asked.

“I have answered your question. Chu Feng doesn’t take battles he isn’t confident of winning, which is why he has a stellar list of accomplishments under his belt.

“This is not just a battle of talent but backing too. Baili Zilin is backed by the Netherworld Sect, a power even the galaxy overlords dare not to cross. On the other hand, Chu Feng has to live warily like a rat under the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s intimidation.

“How could someone like that have the guts to oppose the Netherworld Sect?” the old man analyzed with his right hand stroking his beard and his left hand behind his back.

Those words angered Xia Xingchen, and her eyes, hidden beneath a veil, gleamed with ferocity.

However, it was Huahua who grabbed the old man’s collar and roared, “How dare you describe Chu Feng as a rat? Try uttering such nonsense again and I’ll rip your foul mouth off!”

The old man was a sectmaster, and he had entered the formation realm with hundreds of elite sect elders and disciples.

Upon seeing Huahua’s actions, the sect elders and disciples stood up and viciously glared at Huahua’s group. Some of the disciples even drew their weapons. Judging from their response, they were the type to resolve problems through violence.

This commotion drew the crowd’s attention.

But the old man waved his hand, signaling his sectmembers to stand down. He smiled at Huahua and said, “Miss, I can tell from your voice that you’re young and inexperienced. I’m not surprised you are blinded by Chu Feng’s exploits. However, you should open your eyes wide.”

“Open my eyes wide? Who do you think you are?” Huahua sneered.

The old man’s eyes turned cold and murderous, but with so many eyes watching, he held back to maintain his image as an elder. “Miss, watch your words. The world is a dangerous place. You don’t look like you’re from a major sect. Hasn’t your master taught you the idiom that there’s always a taller mountain out there?”

The old man even glanced at Daoist Starseizer as if blaming him for failing to bring up his disciple well.

Huahua’s anger hit the roof. She could tolerate the other party insulting her, but she couldn’t turn a blind eye to it when the other party was insulting her master too.

“Huahua,” Daoist Starseizer interjected before Huahua could make a move.

Catching her master’s drift, Huahua suppressed her fury and let go.

The old man gleefully tidied his robe, thinking he had successfully intimidated the other party.

“You’re the Cloud Mountain Sect’s sectmaster, right? ‘There’s always a taller mountain out there.’ I’ll return those words to you,” Xia Xingchen eyed the old man’s waist token as she said.

“Hahahaha!”

The old man laughed arrogantly as if Xia Xingchen was a child boasting. He didn’t take her words to heart at all.

Xia Xingchen chuckled in response.

She knew that there was no point in losing her temper as this old man was merely the tip of the iceberg. There were more people on the spectator stand insulting Chu Feng.

These people were merely siding with the Netherworld Sect because they thought they could get something out of bootlicking them. In contrast, they would only offend the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion if they sided with Chu Feng.

To Xia Xingchen’s surprise, their commotion appeared to have stirred a change in the discourse surrounding Chu Feng. More people began standing up for Chu Feng, and some even came to blows over this matter.

These people weren’t acquainted with Chu Feng, but they respected and adored him for what he had achieved.

Xia Xingchen felt heartened to see so many people standing up for Chu Feng.

The only question left was whether Chu Feng would be here or not.

Shoosh!

A pillar of light surged through the sphere at the formation realm’s center, and a figure appeared on the other square.

A huge uproar broke out.

It was Chu Feng!

“Chu Feng came in the end!!!”
