Chapter 6256: Scheming Against Me? I’ll Make You Feel the Pinch

“You deciphered something from the nine-colored lightning sphere?” The elder widened his eyes in astonishment, though he remained skeptical about Chu Feng’s words.

They couldn’t make out anything at all, yet this brat deciphered something from it? There was no way he could believe that.

They might both share the Heavenly Bloodline, but there were different tiers to Heavenly Bloodlines. From his very bones, he believed that all other Heavenly Bloodlines outside of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan were subpar, and he looked down on them.

“How else do you think I found this?” Chu Feng replied.

“You have sharp eyes, young friend. Do you what’s its use?” the elder asked despite his skepticism. He needed to know the use of this item.

“Elder, you couldn’t decipher the nine-colored lightning sphere?” Chu Feng asked.

“Well... This...” The elder was at a loss for words.

He sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, “I’m already being polite to you. You better cooperate with me and answer my question, or else I’ll massacre your family.”

A smile firmly remained on his face, but he had already revealed his true self.

Anyone else would have been intimidated by that threat, especially given that the elder was a late True God level cultivator. But those words only confirmed Chu Feng’s guess that they dared not make a move on him in public.

Still, Chu Feng decided to cooperate on the surface, “Elder, based on my observation, this item is the key to obtaining the Immemorial Bloodline Tower’s energy. However, it won’t be easy to obtain it even if you find one. You’ll have to fuse a huge amount of bloodline power into it to make it yours, or else you won’t be able to take it away or decipher its content.”

“Is it? Let me give it a try.”

The elder fused his bloodline power into the metal piece the same way he did when activating the Immemorial Bloodline Tower, and it worked. His face lit up in delight. This meant that they could take over the metal piece even though they weren’t the ones who discovered it.

“Young friend, an extraordinary amount of bloodline power is needed to awaken this item. You won’t be able to accomplish it by yourself. Don’t worry, I won’t steal your credit since you were the one who found it. Why don’t you have this item to our Huangfu Heavenly Clan, and we will reward you for it,” the elder said as he handed a Cosmos Sack to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng took the Cosmos Sack and smiled.

Contained in the Cosmos Sack were ten martial power beads, but they were trashy beads that contained very little martial power. The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s elder was humiliating him.

Seeing Chu Feng’s smile, the elder sent another voice transmission to Chu Feng, “Brat, you disgraced me by rambling too much earlier. It’s only out of magnanimity that I’m not pursuing the matter and even offering you compensation. You better take it and not cause any trouble.”

Chu Feng nodded, only to crush the Cosmos Sack right after. The ten martial power beads inside the Cosmos Sack floated out.

“Don’t you think your compensation is lacking?” Chu Feng asked with a faint smile.

The crowd could see the quality of the martial power beads from the martial power they emanated.

“They are giving so little? They might as well not give anything at all. Aren’t they just humiliating him?”

“Indeed. This is an important discovery. Even if he had only stumbled upon it by luck, they shouldn’t be offering him so little.”

The crowd discussed.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s elder spoke as if there were great treasures inside the Cosmos Sack, and Chu Feng would have deserved it as the metal piece was an important clue to the Immemorial Bloodline Tower.

Yet, the Huangfu Heavenly Clan only gave him this bit of reward. It was almost as if they were trying to drive off a beggar.

“Haa, I should have known that we were nothing to big clans.”

“I reckon those who went in won’t be able to get anything good out of this. Lucky I stayed away.”

Countless such whispers could be heard outside. Their voices weren’t loud, but cultivators, with their far more sensitive senses, could easily pick up on them.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen were infuriated to hear those words.

Huangfu Zhantian frowned. He beckoned a nearby elder and told him via voice transmission, “Enter the tower right now and tell them to stop being so stingy. Can’t they at least put on an act? They have cultivated for so many years, but it looks like their brains remain primitive!”

“Understood.”

The elder was at pinnacle True God level. He took a tower token and rushed into the tower.

In truth, the elder standing before Chu Feng was no fool. Most cultivators would have been intimidated by the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s reputation and kneeled to beg for mercy. He didn’t expect Chu Feng to be so brazen as to complain about the rewards.

“Are you tired of living?” the elder questioned seethingly.

“Elder, I’m standing right in front of you. You can speak directly. There’s no need to send voice transmissions to threaten me. There’s no one else here other than your Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen. Are you trying to keep it a secret from them?” Chu Feng got straight to the point.

“Ah? What? W-who’s threatening you?”

The elder was stumped by Chu Feng’s candidness. He knew that Chu Feng was brazen, but he didn’t expect him to be this brazen.

His face turned livid. He was convinced that the youth in front of him was a fool, for a normal person would have never dared to do something like that. He would have slapped a fool like this to death had it been on any other occasion, but unfortunately, his hands were tied here.

He understood that threats wouldn’t work here, and he could only exact vengeance in the future.

So, he suppressed his anger and awkwardly explained, “Young friend, you must have been hearing things because you were too nervous. I got the wrong compensation here. Here, let me right things.”

The elder waved his sleeves, and brilliant lights filled the surroundings. They were all martial power beads, and there were so many of them that they looked like stars in the sky. There must have been at least tens of millions of them.

These beads might not contain much martial power too, but just the sheer number of them would have made them useful. It would have been a decent compensation for most people.

But Chu Feng didn’t think it was enough. These beads weren’t enough for him to floss his teeth. Thus, he said, “It isn’t enough.”

“What did you say?” The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen were stunned.

“It said it isn’t enough,” Chu Feng replied.

“Brat, you are getting ahead of yourself. Who do you think you are? This Immemorial Bloodline Tower belongs to our Huangfu Heavenly Clan! It’s out of generosity that we allowed you to enter, but instead of showing gratitude, you’re trying to extort us?” a Huangfu Heavenly Clansman lost his patience and berated Chu Feng.

The elder didn’t stop the clansman, for he was feeling so angry that he wanted to kill Chu Feng.

“Yes, the Immemorial Bloodline Tower is your possession, but you wouldn’t have known about this if not for me. I can tell you frankly that this item is present on every floor from the second to the 98th. You’ll need more than just one to obtain the final power,” Chu Feng said.

That stumped not just the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen but those outside too.

“Is that for real? That brat must be talking rubbish, right?”

They couldn’t believe what they were hearing. Could that fellow have deciphered so much about the Immemorial Bloodline Tower?

“I can see that you have failed to decipher the clues in the sphere. As long as you offer me sufficient benefits, I’ll uncover all the formations for you,” Chu Feng said.

“We will compensate you accordingly if your words are true, but if you are lying to us, the consequences are not something you can bear,” the elder said.

“You’re the Huangfu Heavenly Clan. I wouldn’t dare deceive you.” Chu Feng smiled.

“What do you want?” the elder asked.

“These cultivation resources aren’t enough. Bring out your treasures and let me pick among them,” Chu Feng replied.

“Fine, I’ll let you pick whatever you want.”

The elder didn’t hesitate to take out his treasures, and the other Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen quickly followed suit.

There were so many treasures that it made the spectators outside drool, but Chu Feng shook his head. He had so many invaluable treasures with him that very few items that could catch his interest.

“I’ll take all the cultivation resources and a God Armament on top of that,” Chu Feng replied.

“God Armament?”

“You sure are greedy!”

The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen thought Chu Feng was out of his mind. Even those outside thought that Chu Feng was asking for too much. God Armaments were invaluable treasures to them.

They couldn’t have imagined that Chu Feng had plenty of those with him.

Whatever God Armament they brought out was unlikely to be of a quality that could catch Chu Feng’s eye, but he wanted to make them feel the pinch. So, he pressed on, “Do you think that a God Armament is worth more than the final power here?”

The elder accepted the offer with gritted teeth. He tossed his God Armament to Chu Feng.

“Fine, you can have it.”

By this point, he had already decided to kill Chu Feng once they were outside. It didn’t matter to him what Chu Feng demanded; he was going to get everything back anyway.
