The man, as the leader of his clan, possessed the cultivation of a Fifth Rank Supreme.
In his impression, Long Daozhi was merely a Fourth Rank Supreme.
This was why he had always looked down on Long Daozhi.
But now, Long Daozhi had withstood his pressure, revealing that his cultivation was on par with his own, a Fifth Rank Supreme.
“No wonder your killing intent was so sharp before.”
“So, your cultivation is no longer beneath mine.”
“But don’t think that being a Fifth Rank Supreme means you can stand against us.”
Surprised as he was, the man showed no fear, instead turning to the other three leaders.
“What are you waiting for? Didn’t we agree to drop the act with this guy?”
“Why are you still bargaining with him? Do you want to keep being suppressed by this nobody from the Ancestral Martial Starfield?”
“Are we to follow this nobody’s orders in the Endless Abyss?”
The middle-aged man asked loudly.
*Boom—*
*Boom—*
*Boom—*
Immediately, three more Fifth Rank Supreme auras burst forth.
They came from the other three leaders.
The three who had just been pleading with Long Daozhi to sell them the extra Dragon Vein Blood Stone now wore sinister expressions.
“Long Daozhi, out of respect for you bringing Chu Feng, we intended to treat you as an equal.”
“But you were so shameless, relying on Chu Feng, this spirit master, to push us around.”
“You even want to lord over us.”
“You’ve forgotten your place.”
“Now, don’t blame us for being merciless, you brought this on yourself.”
The old woman said viciously.
At the same time, killing intent emanated from the other two leaders.
Their intentions were now crystal clear.
They planned to eliminate Long Daozhi and then forcibly control Chu Feng.
This way, they could do as they pleased in the Endless Abyss.
“Hahaha!!!”
Seeing this, Long Daozhi not only showed no fear but burst into laughter.
His laugh was not only piercing but frenzied, as if he saw through everything.
This laughter left the four leaders bewildered, unsure of what was happening with Long Daozhi.
But when he stopped laughing, his face turned ferocious.
“Since you tore off your masks first, don’t blame me, Long Daozhi, for being merciless.”
As his words fell, a fierce wind erupted.
The wind was so powerful that even the four leaders could not withstand it.
The four leaders and the four spirit masters were blown away by the gust.
When they landed, all were bleeding from their orifices, heavily injured.
But more than their injuries, what terrified the four leaders most was Long Daozhi’s cultivation.
“You… you’re a Sixth Rank Supreme?”
Only now did they realize that Long Daozhi’s cultivation had reached Sixth Rank Supreme, surpassing all four of them.
“Now do you know who the nobody is?”
As Long Daozhi spoke, a chilling killing intent descended, enveloping the four leaders and the four spirit masters.
“City Lord Long, spare us, spare us!”
“We were blinded by greed, for the sake of our shared clan, please spare our lives.”
Seeing the situation turn dire, the four leaders and spirit masters began to beg for mercy.
“Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, you disgrace the dragon clan.”
“Get lost.”
Long Daozhi said coldly.
Seeing this, they dared not linger. Despite their severe injuries, they hurriedly got up and fled.
“Senior, you’re still too soft-hearted.”
Seeing Long Daozhi let them go, Chu Feng stepped forward and said.
“They were abandoned by the dragon clan, they’re pitiable too.”
Long Daozhi replied.
“But just now, they showed no mercy toward you.”
“If your strength hadn’t surpassed theirs, you would surely be dead today.”
Chu Feng said.
“This time, I’ll give them a chance. If there’s a next time,”
Long Daozhi said.
Seeing Long Daozhi’s stance, Chu Feng didn’t say more, as this was, after all, their clan’s matter.
“Senior, take this chance to refine them.”
Chu Feng handed the Dragon Vein Blood Stones to Long Daozhi.
Without hesitation, Long Daozhi began refining the stones.
After fully refining all twenty-one Dragon Vein Blood Stones, not only was his damaged bloodline power restored, but it became even more robust.
“Young friend Chu Feng, I owe you a great debt.”
Rising again, Long Daozhi’s eyes were filled with gratitude.
“Senior, you saved my Chu Heavenly Clan, helping you is my honour.”
Chu Feng said with a smile.
Seeing Long Daozhi’s bloodline power restored, Chu Feng was genuinely happy.
*Roar—*
*Whoosh—*
But just as he spoke, Chu Feng’s expression changed drastically.
So did Long Daozhi’s.
In the southeast, a hurricane appeared.
The storm was overwhelming, kicking up clouds of dust, rapidly approaching Chu Feng and Long Daozhi.
The moment they noticed the hurricane, Long Daozhi grabbed Chu Feng and fled in the opposite direction.
The hurricane was too terrifying, being caught in it would mean certain doom.
But the storm was too fast, even with Long Daozhi’s full effort, they were quickly overtaken.
When the hurricane engulfed Chu Feng and Long Daozhi, all their protective measures were instantly shattered.
Then, Chu Feng felt the world spin, his body as if slashed by countless blades, and he soon lost consciousness.
When Chu Feng awoke, he found himself unharmed, though his clothes were tattered and his body covered in cuts, they were only superficial.
But Long Daozhi was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Feng stood and called out, searching for a while, but found no trace of Long Daozhi.
Even Long Daozhi’s aura had vanished completely.
“This wind is truly strange.”
Chu Feng frowned, finding it baffling.
Though the hurricane was powerful, it wasn’t lethal. Since even he hadn’t sustained fatal injuries, he wasn’t worried about Long Daozhi’s safety.
Chu Feng figured they had simply been separated by the storm.
But for such a terrifying hurricane to appear in the Endless Abyss, a place like this, it should have been deadly.
Yet it hadn’t been, only separating Chu Feng and Long Daozhi, which puzzled him.
With Long Daozhi missing, Chu Feng couldn’t sit idle, he had to continue his mission.
So, he set off again.
Though his sensory range was limited, as a spirit master, he could follow clues to track the general direction of treasures.
This was how he had found the Dragon Vein Blood Stones earlier.
But finding them was mere luck, his true goal had always been the Dragon Vein Origin Stone.
However, others had entered the Endless Abyss before him and Long Daozhi.
Since they could break the entrance barrier, those spirit masters were likely skilled.
Some among them might also sense the location of the Dragon Vein Origin Stone.
So Chu Feng dared not delay, with Long Daozhi gone, he had to proceed alone.
“This aura?”
But during his journey, Chu Feng suddenly stopped, a trace of shock in his eyes.
