Chapter 6231: A Stalwart Comrade

Chapter 6231: A Stalwart Comrade

“Y-y-you deceived us?” the Ancient Era’s War Clan’s Clan Chief angrily questioned Chu Feng, though his face was marked with fear more than anything.

He understood the consequences of Old Cat being here.

“Yes, I deceived you. Did you think I would help you kill him? Do you think we would foolishly walk into your trap? Let me tell you that Old Cat and I are stalwart comrades!” Chu Feng replied.

“You...” The clan chief trembled in fury.

Old Cat frowned at Chu Feng. “Stalwart comrades?”

“Shush.” Chu Feng glanced at Old Cat before turning back to the clan chief. “First, that black wall should have been strong enough to withstand the energy. You secretly weakened it to let Old Cat in. You wanted to cause a panic so that I would be forced to decide on the spot without seeing the treasure. I would have no choice but to activate the copper cauldron and kill Old Cat to resolve the imminent crisis.

“But you forget that I’m a world spiritist. Your tricks can’t fool me,” Chu Feng said.

“Chu Feng... I’ll kill you!”

The clan chief invoked his clan-protection formation and flitted up to Chu Feng. His cultivation had further risen to rank three Heavenly God level. He did have more tricks up his sleeves.

But before he could reach Chu Feng, he froze in place. He clutched his neck in pain as he struggled frantically in mid-air.

It was Old Cat’s doing.

No one else sensed Old Cat’s maneuver except for Chu Feng. He had tapped into the terrifying energy suffusing the land to unravel the power protecting the clan chief.

Old Cat was the ruler of this place. A mere rank three Heavenly God level cultivator was nothing to him.

“Spare us! Spare us, please!”

Some Ancient Era’s War Clansmen tried to escape, whereas others pleaded for mercy, but they were all dragged into the air like the clan chief.

Instead of killing them right away, Old Cat rose into the air and formed a hand seal. A furious storm swirled, and the earth tremored intensely.

The mountainlike bones shattered, transforming into auras that surged into Old Cat’s body along with the terrifying energy. It didn’t take long for the terrifying energy and the bones to disappear.

Everything fell silent.

Old Cat stood quietly in mid-air.

No one knew how strong he currently was, but the Ancient Era’s War Clansmen, who were still hanging mid-air, knew for certain they were no match for him. Despite being a cat, he emanated the airs of a top-notch expert.

“Brother Chu Feng, will the cat demon take our lives too?” Xianhai Shaoyu asked via voice transmission.

He was nervous because Old Cat looked even more frightening than the Ancient Era’s War Clansmen.

“Old Cat is not a bad person at his core. I don’t think he’ll return kindness with ingratitude now that we have helped him,” Chu Feng replied discreetly.

In truth, he wasn’t sure how Old Cat would respond either. Old Cat had never been a reliable one, not to mention he had just absorbed a tremendous amount of resentment and unknown energy. Those might have induced changes in his personality.

All of a sudden, Old Cat disappeared.

“Chu Feng, is that cat demon reliable? If not, I can bring us out through the passageway,” Jie Shanxian said via voice transmission. The passageway she was referring to was the one she previously created with her treasure.

“Chu Feng, come with me,” Old Cat’s voice suddenly echoed.

At the same time, Old Cat appeared next to Chu Feng. He had returned.

Before Chu Feng could reply, the scenery around him suddenly changed. Old Cat was taking him somewhere, though this only lasted for a second. By the time they stopped, Xianhai Shaoyu and Little Fishy were nowhere to be seen.

Chu Feng had once reached Heavenly God level too, albeit through desperate means, so he understood the power wielded by Heavenly God level cultivators. Thanks to that, he could tell that Old Cat’s cultivation had reached a frightening level.

“Brother Chu Feng, can you take a look at this for me?” Old Cat asked with a grin. He seemed to have reverted into the Old Cat that Chu Feng knew.

He was pointing at a formation around the size of a face basin. The formation was not emanating any aura, and it eluded one’s senses too. To put it in other words, it couldn’t be sensed with martial power or spirit power; it could only be seen with one’s physical eyes.

“It is a martial power formation,” Chu Feng replied.

“A martial power formation? Can you tell what kind of formation it is?” Old Cat asked.

“Can you breach it?”

“I tried. It doesn’t work.” Old Cat shook his head.

“It doesn’t work for you too?”

“Those scoundrels have siphoned away my blood and flesh’s origin energies. It is already amazing for my cultivation to be restored to its current level with just these bones. I should cultivate much faster now that I have partially recovered my bloodline though. You will have to work hard. You might have the Ruler’s Bloodline and the Genesis Bloodline, but you might still never catch up with me in your lifetime,” Old Cat said gleefully.

Chu Feng could sense Old Cat’s glee, though that was only to be expected. He had been through a lot before this.

“What’s your current cultivation level?” Chu Feng asked.

“Why are you asking that? Study that formation and tell me what’s going on with it!” Old Cat urged.

“How do you know there’s a formation here?”

“Of course I’d know! Someone placed it in my bones. Wouldn’t you know if someone planted something in your bones too?”

“When was it placed here?”

“I don’t know. I only sensed it when I entered this place.”

“You don’t even know when someone placed something in your bones?”

“Y-y-you... I-I-I... You also know I was... Argh!” Old Cat didn’t want to bother explaining it anymore and exclaimed, “Stop beating around the bush and tell me what’s going on with this formation.”

Chu Feng grimly looked at Old Cat and asked, “Old Cat, let’s put our grudges aside for now. Would you have been able to absorb your bones if not for me?”

“Of course not.”

“Does that make me your savior?”

“Rest assured, Brother Chu Feng. I don’t need anything from the Ancient Era’s War Clan. You can have all their treasures and their Nine Secret Skills.”

“I’m not talking about that. Can we be considered stalwart comrades after everything we have been through?”

“Of course, of course.” Old Cat nodded.

“If that’s the case, you should tell me the truth. Do you truly know nothing about this formation?” Chu Feng asked Old Cat.

He could tell that Old Cat was extremely afraid of the formation.
