Chapter 6257: Desire to Kill

Chu Feng took out a Cosmos Sack and stored all the cultivation resources lying around and the God Armament the elder passed to him in it.

“I’ll accept this as compensation for this formation. Let’s go with this amount for subsequent formations too,” he said as he stowed away his Cosmos Sack.

“Are you out of your mind?” The Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen couldn’t believe their ears.

“Fine, I’ll accept your offer,” the elder replied.

You greedy brat. You can have all the wealth you want in the world, but you won’t have the life to spend it.

“That’s a wise decision, elder. Leave someone here to channel the formation. We’ll advance to the next floor,” Chu Feng said with a beaming smile.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan thought that Chu Feng was a fool courting his doom.

Chu Feng led the Huangfu Heavenly Clan to the third floor. News spread fast, and more Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen headed over to join the group, including Huangfu Jiangxin, Huangfu Jiangyue, and the yellow-bearded elder who had already progressed to the fifteenth floor.

“Brat, I’ll make sure you die a terrible death if you fail to find the formation,” Huangfu Jiangxing threatened.

“Oh? Aren’t you the one who activated the Immemorial Bloodline Tower? You didn’t manage to decipher it too?” Chu Feng asked with a composed smile.

“What did you say?” Huangfu Jiangxing growled.

“I’m talking about the lightning sphere. You were staring so intently at it that I thought you deciphered it. Ah, I guess that was an unnecessary question. You would have known that I’m leading you down the right path if you had deciphered it,” Chu Feng replied.

“You’re looking to die!” Huangfu Jiangxing had never been humiliated like that. He exerted his True God level oppressive might on Chu Feng.

However, that oppressive might was suppressed by many other oppressive mights before it could even get close to Chu Feng. It was not just the yellow-bearded elder and the others who intervened to stop him; even his big sister Huangfu Jiangyue did so too.

“Stop acting rashly. He’s of value to us,” Huangfu Jiangyue told him via voice transmission.

But Huangfu Jiangxing couldn’t care less and asked aloud, “Big sister, do you trust him? How can he decipher what we can’t see through? He merely got lucky and found that formation by coincidence, so he’s using this to extort benefits from us.”

Outside, Huangfu Zhantian shook his head and sighed. “Haaa... No wonder our clan chief is more fond of Shengyu. Huangfu Jiangxing might have a good bloodline, but he lacks wits.”

Huangfu Jiangxing had the right to be arrogant, but the occasion mattered too. To continue acting arrogantly despite knowing the people outside could see and hear what was going on, Huangfu Jiangxing was a complete moron.

Huangfu Zhantian turned to Chu Feng and murmured, “What’s that brat’s background?”

He was starting to feel uneasy. If that brat saw through the lightning sphere when none of them could, was there a chance that their Huangfu Heavenly Clan wasn’t the biggest contributor to the tower activation?

That brat possessed the Heavenly Bloodline too.

“No, I must be overthinking it.” Huangfu Zhantian shook his head and refuted those thoughts. How could anyone have a Heavenly Bloodline stronger than their Huangfu Heavenly Clan here?

...

Chu Feng adeptly navigated his way through the tower, showing no hesitation even when faced with a crossroad. It was as if he had been here many times before.

Both the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen and the spectators outside the tower reserved their doubts about his capabilities.

Chu Feng suddenly stopped and formed a hand seal toward empty space. The tower shook as a massive formation appeared in front of the crowd’s eyes.

Everyone looking at Chu Feng was stunned, especially Huangfu Jiangxing, Huangfu Jiangyue, and the yellow-bearded elder. They felt immense power pulsating from the formation, so much so that they had no idea how could they begin opposing it.

Yet Chu Feng single-handedly opposed that formation.

Similar to the second floor’s formation, Chu Feng didn’t take long to suppress the formation into a metal piece.

“Give me my compensation, and we’ll head to the fourth floor.” Chu Feng stretched his hand toward the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen.

“It’s all prepared for you. Is it to your satisfaction?” the yellow-bearded elder replied as he handed a Cosmos Sack to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng inspected the Cosmos Sack. There was a God Armament inside, and the cultivation resources inside was much better than what he received before.

“This elder is more generous,” Chu Feng remarked as he stowed away the Cosmos Sack.

“You’re too polite. I’m only giving you what you deserve. Young friend, I’m curious to know how you deciphered this information from that lightning sphere,” the yellow-bearded elder asked with a smile.

As expected of someone who had managed to climb to a high position, the yellow-bearded elder displayed maturity far beyond that of the previous elder and Huangfu Jiangxing. He even gave Chu Feng a bit more benefits to win his goodwill so that he could ask a question.

“I just looked at it normally. Elder, were you really unable to decipher it?” Chu Feng asked.

The yellow-bearded elder smiled at those words.

“Does this mean I’m the chosen one?” Chu Feng intentionally glanced at Huangfu Jiangxing when he said those words, only to burst into laughter right after. “I’m kidding. Let’s head to the next formation.”

He began making his way to the fourth floor.

Chu Feng also adeptly navigated the fourth floor and easily found the formation.

“That’s incredible! How is that fellow so formidable when he looks so average?”

“Is it truly his first time entering the Immemorial Bloodline Tower? What’s his background?”

“Ah, there was a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist backing him. Is he from the Seven Realms Immortal Sect?”

“How could those from the Seven Realms Immortal Sect possess the Heavenly Bloodline? I bet there’s a third powerhouse hiding in this realm, and that fellow is from there.”

“That makes sense.”

Any doubt harbored by the crowd dissipated when Chu Feng easily found and resolved the formation on the fourth floor too. That led the crowd to speculate about Chu Feng’s identity.

Those from the Huangfu Heavenly Clan couldn’t help but glance at Jie Shanxian while observing Chu Feng. Even those from the Seven Realms Immortal Sect had begun speculating Jie Shanxian’s background. They knew that Chu Feng and Jie Shanxian had come together.

“Lord Sectmaster, how is that brat so formidable too? Could they have a powerful backing?”

The Seven Realms Immortal Sect secretly sent voice transmission to their sectmaster, but their sectmaster quietly stared at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng received a Cosmos Sack each time he resolved a formation, and in it were a God Armament and cultivation resources. Correspondingly, the Huangfu Heavenly Clan would take the metal piece from him and use their bloodline power to assimilate it.

The Huangfu Heavenly Clan had planned to find the final power by themselves, but Chu Feng’s appearance convinced them to change their strategy. Most Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen were gathered around Chu Feng by this point.

Finally, Chu Feng resolved the formation on the 98th floor too.

The yellow-bearded elder handed the Cosmos Sack he had prepared to Chu Feng as he asked, “Young friend, I realized I haven’t asked you for your name yet.”

“I’m Chu Feng.”

“Chu Feng?”

The yellow-bearded elder and the Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen were taken aback. That was a familiar name to them, but they didn’t think that he was the Nine Heavens’ Zenith’s Chu Feng.

They didn’t look like each other, and they didn’t think that Chu Feng was capable enough to find his way into this formation realm. In the first place, the world was so big that there were plenty of people with the same name. It wouldn’t be surprising to find two people without blood relations who looked identical to each other.

Two people having the same name was nothing to make a fuss over.

“I’ll be taking my leave if there’s nothing else,” Chu Feng said.

“Where are you going?” Huangfu Jiangxing asked.

“Our cooperation has ended. You have received all the formations. It’s none of your business where I go,” Chu Feng replied.

Huangfu Jiangxing had long thought that Chu Feng was an eyesore. Seeing how the latter dared to talk back to him despite having completed the mission, he made up his mind to kill the latter.

The yellow-bearded elder hurriedly interjected, “Young friend Chu Feng, what should we do after we assimilate all these formations?”

“Piece the formations together. That’s all I know,” Chu Feng replied before turning to Huangfu Jiangxing. “You’re thinking of killing me, aren’t you?”

Before Huangfu Jiangxing could reply, Chu Feng turned his gaze toward the other Huangfu Heavenly Clansmen, including the yellow-bearded elder. “It isn’t just him. The rest of you can’t wait to kill me too. After all, I’ve taken so many God Armaments from you.”

The yellow-bearded elder laughed. “Young friend Chu Feng, you’re thinking too much. Our Huangfu Heavenly Clan prides itself on its integrity. We would never do anything like that when we have already agreed to work together.”

There was no way he would acknowledge Chu Feng’s claim.

“If that’s the case, no one will stop me if I leave, right?” Chu Feng asked.

“Of course not. Feel free,” the yellow-bearded elder said.

“I’ll be taking my leave then.” Chu Feng clasped his fist and left.

“Are we letting him go?” Huangfu Jiangxing asked.

The yellow-bearded elder sighed in frustration. He had already told Huangfu Jiangxing that outsiders could hear their conversation, but the latter continued to show zero discretion.

If not for his bloodline talent and his background as the clan chief’s son...

The yellow-bearded elder answered via voice transmission, “Don’t worry, young master. We have left tracking talismans in the Cosmos Sacks we gave him, so he won’t be able to get away. Those outside can hear our words, so it’s best not to say some things out loud.”

“Hmph.” Huangfu Jiangxing harrumphed in disdain, but he still switched to voice transmission. “They are just a bunch of small fry. There’s no need to care too much about their opinions. We should make an example out of someone and show them the consequences of disrespecting our Huangfu Heavenly Clan.

“It’s Lord Clan Chief’s will for us not to go too far. It wouldn’t be wise for us to defy his order, especially not when Lord Huangfu Zhantian is watching outside. Of course, we won’t take this lying. That brat is audacious and greedy. How dare he extort our Huangfu Heavenly Clan?

“Once we conquer the Immemorial Bloodline Tower, I’ll capture that brat and leave his punishment to you,” the yellow-bearded elder said.

“I’ll make him suffer a fate worse than death. He shall kneel before me and beg me to end his life” Huangfu Jiangxing sneered discreetly.
