Chapter 6247: Competing For People

Chu Feng began surveying the situation.

Those from sects had started crossing the barrier to claim their tower tokens. Some sects with more people split into multiple groups to claim more tower tokens so that everyone in their sect could enter, but their ploy failed.

It turned out each sect could only claim one tower token, and each tower token could only be shared with at most 20,000 people.

The sects had no choice but to select their elites to use the tower token.

At the same time, the unaffiliated cultivators started organizing themselves into groups. The question of who to hold the tower token was a huge point of contention, and most people chose to argue based on their cultivation.

“Elder, let’s make a move too,” Chu Feng said.

Since the Divine Deer had already advised him, Chu Feng needed to gather his people too.

“My world spiritist talent is passable, but my martial cultivation talent is lacking. I’ll pass on this commotion,” Jie Shanxian said.

“Elder, you aren’t planning to give it a try?” Chu Feng asked.

On top of possessing strength rivaling a rank two Heavenly God level cultivator, Jie Shanxian also had many treasures with her. Her lack of fear for the Seven Realms Immortal Sect also suggested that she had more tricks up her sleeves.

Chu Feng would lose his greatest backing if Jie Shanxian didn’t enter.

Instead of answering, Jie Shanxian got up and flew toward one of the gates. A red light shot out from the gate and enveloped her. Before the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen could drive her back, she turned around and headed back to Chu Feng’s side.

“You see that?”

Jie Shanxian was telling Chu Feng that she couldn’t enter the tower even if she wanted to due to her lacking martial cultivation talent. Sensing Chu Feng’s worry, she added, “Don’t worry. I’ll be right here. I won’t turn a blind eye if you get into trouble. Worse comes to worst, I’ll barge in. That measly rank one Heavenly God level cultivator can’t stop me.”

She glanced at Huangfu Zhantian as she spoke.

That boosted Chu Feng’s confidence, but he still said, “Elder, I need to gather people to obtain a tower token. It’ll be more effective if you rally people on my behalf.”

“So that’s your true goal. Don’t bother entering the tower if you can’t handle such trivialities by yourself,” Jie Shanxian scoffed.

Chu Feng had to settle this matter by himself since Jie Shanxian didn’t want to get involved. Only by giving something would there be returns, so he was planning to offer some incentives to the crowd to rally them over.

He took out many Cosmos Sacks, opening some of them while he was at it so that everyone could sense the treasures inside. Every Cosmos Sack was filled with the same treasures, and that was the benefit he was offering those who followed him.

Millions of people immediately crowded around Chu Feng, wanting to get a slice of the pie. Some even stared at him with greedy eyes as if he were a fat lamb waiting to be slaughtered. They were planning to rob him.

But Chu Feng was unfazed. This bunch of ragtag wasn’t a match for him, and if he did encounter an opponent beyond his means, he had Jie Shanxian here to back him anyway.

Chu Feng couldn’t accept everyone onto his team, so he listed his requests too. He didn’t impose any age restrictions, but he demanded his team members to be at least at Half-God level.

Aside from that, they also must have a decent martial cultivation bloodline. For that, he constructed a formation to assess an individual’s martial cultivation bloodline, and those who cleared the formation would be eligible.

It was a great deal of trouble, but many people still went through with the test for the generous incentives.

Unaffiliated cultivators were bound to be lacking compared to the affiliated ones. Despite more and more people flocking to Chu Feng’s side, with the crowd reaching tens of millions, less than a thousandth of them met the criteria.

Due to the sheer number of sign-ups, Chu Feng soon gathered 20,000 people. However, he didn’t stop the recruitment despite having already met the quota.

Those who were applying also paid it no heed as they were after the incentives.

“Chu Feng, I thought you only need 20,000 people?” Eggy was confused.

“We need more so that we can further filter them,” Chu Feng explained.

“That’s true.” Eggy thought those words made sense.

Having more rounds of selections could raise the quality of the final team.

“H-h-huh? What are you d-d-doing? Do you have no s-s-shame?”

A group suddenly tore through the crowd and marched up to Chu Feng. The one leading the group was a tall, brawny man with a dashing face. He was so suave that the women couldn’t help staring at him with gleaming eyes.

His only problem was his stutter.

However, Chu Feng was more interested in the dignified old man behind the dashing man. Others might not have noticed it yet, but he could tell with a glance that the old man was an expert. He was the dashing man’s backing.

“You need something?” Chu Feng asked.

“D-d-don’t you think you’re too much? Can’t we c-c-compete fairly?” the dashing man asked.

Chu Feng had long noticed the dashing man; the latter had been using the same method to recruit people, and he did succeed in attracting a crowd. However, due to Chu Feng’s more generous incentives, many of the people he had recruited abandoned him for Chu Feng instead.

That made the dashing man angry.

“What’s unfair about this? You can offer more if you want,” Chu Feng casually replied while waving a Cosmos Sack.

“D-d-do you have too much money to burn? You already have 20,000 people, so w-w-why are you still recruiting? Are you t-t-trying to corner the rest of us?” The man glared at Chu Feng with grudging eyes.

“I need more people, but I will be eliminating some of them later. You can wait a little longer if you aren’t in a rush,” Chu Feng replied.

“L-l-like hell I’ll wait for you! Aren’t you g-g-getting ahead of yourself? Take him down!” the dashing man ordered.

At his order, the old man behind unleashed his oppressive might at Chu Feng. He was a rank nine True God level cultivator.

Uwa!

Thousands of people toppled to the ground, but it was not Chu Feng but the dashing man, the old man who unleashed his oppressive might, and those following them.

Even the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen were drawn to this commotion, including Huangfu Zhantian.

Jie Shanxian had made her move, revealing herself as a rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist. That naturally drew attention to her. No one expected to encounter another expert of this caliber here.

“Why? Trying to make a move?” Jie Shanxian flitted to Chu Feng’s side and glared at the dashing man.

“T-t-the hell! Why do you n-n-need this when you have such a strong b-b-backing?” The floored dashing man was speechless.

Just then, Chu Feng noticed a pendant around the dashing man’s neck. The pendant looked extremely familiar, so he quickly sent a voice transmission through the corresponding pendant, “Brother, are you in the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s territory?”

“H-h-huh? Chu Feng? A-a-are you here too? W-w-where are you?” Wang Qiang replied via the pendant.

At the same time, the dashing man began scanning his surroundings.
