Martial God Asura

Chapter 6271: Leaving Goodwill

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief knew that Chu Feng’s other option couldn’t be anything good. Chu Feng was going to blackmail him using Huangfu Shengyu’s life, and that was not a risk he was willing to take.

That was also why he did not attempt to suppress Chu Feng or save Huangfu Shengyu despite his overwhelming strength as a Heavenly God level cultivator.

Huangfu Shengyu was too important to them.

Besides, Chu Feng’s offer was highly tempting.

If Huangfu Shengyu could obtain the Immemorial Bloodline Tower’s energy, he could lead the Huangfu Heavenly Clan to greater heights than it did in the Ancient Era. The possibilities were unimaginable!

“Brother, t-t-this isn’t worth it, no?” Wang Qiang asked.

That energy was of great use to Chu Feng too. How could he give it to someone else so easily?

“Brother, I’ve examined the energy and noticed that my bloodline is averse to it. It might instead weaken my bloodline power if I forcefully fuse it with my bloodline. Since I can’t use it, I might as well sell the Huangfu Heavenly Clan a favor,” Chu Feng said.

“Ah!” Wang Qiang widened his eyes. “That sounds fine.”

Meanwhile, the Huangfu Heavenly Clan looked overjoyed. The deaths of their prodigies at the Nine Heavens’ Zenith was a massive grudge, but supposing what Chu Feng said was true, they would be at fault too. If they put aside everything, they didn’t have the moral high ground.

Besides, Chu Feng’s offer opened new horizons for them. No matter how big the grudge between them was, it could be overlooked given that. This was a profitable deal for them.

Only one person didn’t share those thoughts—Huangfu Jiangxing.

His world had collapsed when he heard Chu Feng’s words. He turned to the clan chief and exclaimed, “Lord Father, we mustn’t! This scoundrel has not only killed our clansmen but captured Shengyu too. He wouldn’t have let Shengyu out if he didn’t need our help. His words can’t be trusted! Lord Father, you...”

Pah!

Huangfu Jiangxing saw stars. There was a burning sensation on his cheek.

The clan chief had slapped him.

“When have you started calling the shots in the Huangfu Heavenly Clan? I’m still not dead yet! Even if I’m dead, this position will never be yours!” the clan chief sneered.

Huangfu Jiangxing was stunned. Those words effectively spelled the end of his future.

Huangfu Jiangyue quickly kneeled before the clan chief and said, “Lord Father, Jiangxing has only said those words because he’s concerned about little brother Shengyu! He bears no other intention!”

But the clan chief paid her no heed. He turned to the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s elders and said, “Relay my orders. Gather our elites to attack the Seven Realms Immortal Sect.”

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan began gathering its army.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Shengyu looked at Chu Feng with fearful eyes.

He had been trapped in Chu Feng’s spatial formation all this while. Terrifying energies would occasionally seep into the spatial formation and shake him up. There were at least two times when the energy nearly claimed his life.

He thought that Chu Feng was torturing him and begged for mercy, but the latter replied that he was undergoing a trial and was enduring the energy too, and that he didn’t mean to torture him.

Huangfu Shengyu didn’t know if those words were true.

If Chu Feng was lying, it would mean that he was able to control those terrifying energies, suggesting that he had someone incredible backing him.

If Chu Feng was telling the truth, it would mean that Chu Feng was an incredible prodigy capable of overcoming those terrifying energies.

When Chu Feng released him, he received many voice transmissions from the Huangfu Heavenly Clan, and from that, he learned that Chu Feng had awakened the Immemorial Bloodline Tower. That further reinforced his impression of Chu Feng.

He had been arrogant from a young age due to his supreme bloodline, but now, he had no choice but to concede defeat. His opponent was simply too powerful. He no longer wanted to become Chu Feng’s enemy anymore.

“Chu Feng, do you mean it when you say that you’ll give me the Immemorial Bloodline Tower’s energy?” Huangfu Shengyu asked.

“I have always kept my promises,” Chu Feng replied.

“Then I’ll guarantee your safe departure,” Huangfu Shengyu said.

“I trust that you can do so.” Chu Feng smiled.

Huangfu Shengyu didn’t respond to Chu Feng’s smile. His pride didn’t allow him to express goodwill to Chu Feng, but the stone weighing on his heart had finally shattered. He was also wishing to resolve his conflict with Chu Feng.

Soon, the Huangfu Heavenly Clan was done gathering its army. They boarded a floating warship and began making their way toward the Seven Realms Immortal Sect.

Chu Feng, Wang Qiang, Huangfu Shengyu, the clan chief, and the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s top echelons boarded the same warship. As for Huangfu Jiangxing and Huangfu Jiangyue, they were told to stay behind at the clan.

Huangfu Jiangxing’s face had paled in despair.

“You should keep a low profile in the future. No one can protect you anymore,” Huangfu Jiangyue said before taking her leave.

She was worried about her little brother too, but she needed to self-preserve too.

The power balance in the Huangfu Heavenly Clan was going to shift with Huangfu Shengyu’s return. The two of them were going to suffer when Huangfu Shengyu heard about what they did during his absence.

On the warship, the clan chief secretly conversed with Huangfu Shengyu to check if Chu Feng had tortured him. His son’s complexion didn’t look too good, after all.

Huangfu Shengyu’s answer convinced him that Chu Feng was no ordinary person. He also recalled what Huangfu Zhantian had previously reported to him, and that made him let go of all ideas of turning Chu Feng into an enemy.

The clan chief turned to Chu Feng and said, “Chu Feng, our Huangfu Heavenly Clan can let bygones be bygones, not just because of the conditions you have raised but because we want to express goodwill to a prodigy like you too. However, you shouldn’t dream of blackmailing our Huangfu Heavenly Clan just because you have Shengyu in your hands.

“I hope that you’ll fulfill your promise and let Shengyu go once this matter is over. If you break your promise, I’ll claim your life even if it means sacrificing Shengyu. Your friends will not get off scot-free either.”

“Rest assured, Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief. Since you know about my friends, I’m sure you have heard about my reputation too. I think I have proven myself to be trustworthy, or else I wouldn’t have so many loyal friends, right? As long as you help me rescue my elder, I guarantee that Huangfu Shengyu’s bloodline will be strengthened,” Chu Feng said.

Huangfu Zhantian also added with a smile, “Clan chief, young friend Chu Feng does have a good reputation.”

“Know a person but not his heart. I don’t trust rumors, but if you can hold your end of the bargain, our Huangfu Heavenly Clan would be willing to have you as a friend,” the clan chief said.

“Clan chief, should we first attempt diplomacy or should we make a move straight away?” an elder asked.

“We should be thorough since we have already decided to make a move. Relay my orders! The goal of our operation is not just to rescue the Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist but also to thoroughly destroy the Seven Realms Immortal Sect so that they can never pose a threat to us in the future,” the clan chief declared.

Chu Feng and Wang Qiang exchanged looks.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief was a vicious man.
