Martial God Asura

Chapter 6527: I’m Only Worried That You Don’t Want Me

As Chen Hui made his way over, the dark-skinned man and the other juniors from the conservative faction stood up and took their positions behind him. It was quite the display.

“Brother, I am Chen Hui,” Chen Hui said with a grin.

“I have heard about you,” Chu Feng replied.

“Heard, your head! Greet young master Chen Hui!” the dark-skinned man pointed a finger at Chu Feng and said.

Pah!

The dark-skinned man flew across the room and slammed into the palace walls. His body was fine, but there was a fiery red hand print on his face.

“Just because he’s your young master doesn’t mean that he is other people’s young master. Just try oppressing others once more, and I’ll rip your mouth apart!” Cang Li glared coldly at the dark-skinned man.

Needless to say, he was the one who slapped the dark-skinned man.

The dark-skinned man felt wronged, but he dared not to protest against it.

“Don’t hold it against him. That’s the kind of person he is,” Chen Hui said.

Chu Feng merely smiled without saying anything.

“Brother Feng Chu is an amazing prodigy, but it’s a pity that the new faction doesn’t appreciate your talent. If you join our conservative faction, I guarantee you that you’ll never lack resources from this day forth.” Chen Hui thumped his chest reassuringly.

“I’m more worried that your conservative faction dares not to accept me,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.

Oblivious to Chu Feng’s true identity, Chen Hui replied with a confident chuckle, “Our conservative faction welcomes you as long as you’re willing to join us. You need not worry about the new faction. We won’t allow any of them to exact vengeance on you.”

He even revealed his cultivation as proof of that—he had reached rank seven True God level.

“Woah!”

Shocked exclamations could be heard from all around.

Even Cang Li was momentarily surprised before revealing a heartened smile. In contrast, Jimo Qianzhou didn’t look good at all. They had no idea Chen Hui had reached this level.

“What’s he showing off for? It’s all through unorthodox means,” Eggy snorted. She doubted that Chen Hui could have reached this level by cultivating normally.

“Young master Chen Hui has grown rapidly, but I heard that you are on extremely close terms with Song Yun. She even met you before escaping. Did young master Chen Hui, like Song Yun, use the flesh and blood of our brethren for your cultivation?” Jimo Qianzhou sneered.

“Song Yun has committed an unforgivable sin. Our conservative faction is after her as well. However, you, as a Netherworld Marshal, should not speak carelessly without evidence. You claim that I have used the flesh and blood of our brethren for my cultivation. Prove it,” Chen Hui demanded.

“Hmph.” Jimo Qianzhou harrumphed coldly.

He was just about to continue speaking when Cang Li interjected, “Enough. Why is an old thing like you interfering with a conversation among juniors?”

“Lord Cang Li, Chen Hui dares to publicly poach our new faction’s prodigy. Am I supposed to...”

“Supposed to what? Conservative faction, new faction—they are all from our Netherworld Sect. Our members can choose wherever they want to go. Do you intend to tie him down with force? Are we still the Netherworld Sect or the new faction?” Cang Li asked sharply.

“Of course we’re the Netherworld Sect.” Jimo Qianzhou dared not to retort anymore. He knew that Cang Li had a bad impression of him, so he could only lower his head and back down.

“Brother Feng Chu, this is an earnest invitation from our conservative faction. There are many eyes here, so spare a thought for my reputation, won’t you?” Chen Hui asked with a grin.

Looking at Chen Hui’s wily yet earnest expression reminded Chu Feng of the days they had spent reaping crops on the fields in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s entrance examination.

Back then, when Chen Hui departed without saying farewell, he thought that they would never meet again. The world of cultivation was a huge place, after all. Who could have expected them to reunite in the Netherworld Sect?

Chu Feng did have a good impression of Chen Hui, but learning that Chen Hui had approached him with an ulterior motive made him feel an urge to get back at him. At the very least, he ought to even things out.

“Sure. I’ll join the conservative faction once we’re done awakening the sacred item,” Chu Feng said.

“It’s a deal.” Chen Hui was overjoyed.

“Yes, it’s a deal,” Chu Feng replied.

With that, the entire group left the copper palace and made their way closer to the sacred item.

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion had already begun channeling their treasures to construct a massive formation. Each treasure emanated a powerful aura, showing that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion had gone all out for this operation.

The formation was as big as a miniature realm, and it enveloped the massive sacred item.

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists continued to linger in the area, but they were just for show. The ones truly channeling the formation were the experts hidden in the shadow.

Within the formation was an empty formation core that was prepared for Chu Feng and the others.

“Young friends, I’ll have to trouble you to step into the formation core. When the formation is completely activated, it’ll siphon away the formation energy inside your bodies. As the formation energy is already bound to your Netherworld Embryo, so the process will inevitably cause you pain, though it should be bearable. As long as you endure it, your job will be done,” a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion explained.

Chu Feng and the others stepped into the formation core and sat down.

“Chu Feng, let’s flee if the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion tries anything funny. We can always return another day to claim the legacy. You have the Divine Deer anyway. They won’t be able to stop you from rescuing Feng Ling.” Eggy was worried.

“All right. I’ll flee right away if I sense that something is amiss,” Chu Feng replied.

There was no discomfort initially. All of a sudden, a brilliant light shone, and a powerful surge of spirit power gushed toward the sacred item.

Boom!

Space shook. The sacred item emanated an even denser congregation of dark red aura, but this time, the dark red aura formed a protective barrier around itself to stop the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s spirit power.

Wu!

Groans echoed around Chu Feng. The formation had begun siphoning the formations from the junior Netherworld Sectmembers’ bodies.

“How are you feeling, Chu Feng?” Eggy was worried.

“I feel nothing at all,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.

He didn’t say that just to reassure Eggy; he truly felt nothing. It could be because the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion was worried about the Netherworld Sectmembers’ safety or that they had other plans in mind, but they didn’t siphon the formations quickly.

Meanwhile Chu Feng got to work. It looked as if he was cooperating with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s formation on the surface, but in truth, he was secretly using Heaven’s Eyes to observe the nature of the formation.

He could now use Heaven’s Eyes even with his eyes closed. It wasn’t as powerful as its usual state, but it was enough.

“I am right. The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion is trying to gain control over the sacred item. That works to my advantage.”

Chu Feng began secretly channeling the formation constructed by Li Wu and Bai Yunqing before discreetly fusing it into the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s formation. It was a good thing that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion was siphoning out the formations inside their Netherworld Embryo slowly, so Chu Feng could do a more thorough job with the fusion.

As the formations siphoned away from the Netherworld Sectmembers’ Netherworld Embryos fused with the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s formation, the dark red aura emanated by the sacred item gradually thinned.

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s plan was a success. The junior Netherworld Sectmembers’ Netherworld Embryo could indeed circumvent the sacred item’s defenses.

Finally, the dark red aura blocking the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s formation dissipated, allowing the formation’s spirit power to flow into the sacred item.

“The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion managed to pull it off!” Chu Feng was thrilled.

The sacred item had a defense mechanism to repel hostile energies. Even if Chu Feng had found another opportunity to approach the sacred item and fuse Bai Yunqing’s formation into it, there was a chance that the sacred item might have just repelled it.

It was a good thing that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion had foreseen that and used the junior Netherworld Sectmembers’ Netherworld Embryos to circumvent that defense mechanism.

The pieces were falling into place.
