“Was it really that easy to control the tiger flood dragon?”
“Could I have seen it wrong?”
Everyone could hardly believe what they were witnessing.
They had personally seen just how powerful that tiger flood dragon was.
Yet such a formidable tiger flood dragon had been controlled by Chu Feng.
They could clearly sense Chu Feng’s cultivation. It was obviously only at seventh-grade Supreme.
A seventh-grade Supreme using six soul-bound treasures to control a fifth-grade Martial Venerable existence?
This clearly defied common sense.
“Everyone, there is no need to panic. This tiger flood dragon’s power is only at fifth-grade Martial Venerable.”
After saying this, Chu Feng looked towards the tiger flood dragon.
“Fortunately, I woke up in time. Otherwise, if I had let you continue evolving, who knows what would have happened?”
“You almost ruined my plans.”
“So you must die.”
After these words, Chu Feng activated the tiger flood dragon and made it move.
Once it left the storm, the tiger flood dragon’s complete body finally came into view. The oppressive force it exuded was far stronger than before.
But after flying a certain distance, a muffled boom rang out. The tiger flood dragon exploded and died.
Although its body exploded, it did not shatter into pieces. Chu Feng only caused its flesh to burst apart while leaving the bones completely intact.
The tiger flood dragon’s bones shimmered with faint light. Complex patterns covered them, containing profound mysteries of cultivation.
If the bones of ferocious beasts in the Ferocious Beast Prison Realm could be used for cultivation, then the bones of this tiger flood dragon were undoubtedly a supreme cultivation treasure.
“As expected, the ferocious beasts here are formed by an array.”
But looking at the tiger flood dragon’s bones, Chu Feng felt a slight disappointment.
Chu Feng had originally wanted to collect the origins of the ferocious beasts here to help Eggy and Yu Sha cultivate.
Yet he discovered that although the ferocious beasts here were strong and their bones could be used for cultivation, they had no origins at all.
Not only the few ferocious beasts that Li Muzhi and the others had killed earlier, but even this tiger flood dragon was the same.
This confirmed Chu Feng’s suspicion.
The ferocious beasts here were not born from true living creatures.
They were bred by some special array using some special treasure.
That was why they possessed cultivation and could cultivate, but… they had no origins.
In truth, they also had no souls.
“The founding ancestor truly was a divine figure.”
Although disappointed, Chu Feng once again marvelled at the power of the Wolong Martial Sect’s founding ancestor.
To breed such life forms using array power, that level of barrier technique was something Chu Feng could not even imagine.
It was also far beyond what the current Chu Feng could reach.
“Look quickly, the power of the storm is dissipating.”
“It’s lifted. This crisis has been resolved.”
“Junior Brother Chu Feng, you are too amazing. You actually stopped the Slaughter Cleansing Ritual and prevented this catastrophe.”
Seeing the storm begin to disperse and the terrifying black hurricane retreat, the Ferocious Beast Prison Realm started returning to its original appearance. All the disciples were filled with excitement.
Zhao Shi and Ma Yueyue ran excitedly towards Chu Feng.
Ma Yueyue was the first to hug Chu Feng, and when Zhao Shi saw this, she also threw herself towards him.
Not only that, but admiration filled the eyes of both women.
In fact, it was not just them. Even the other true disciples looked at Chu Feng with changed gazes.
Respect shone in their eyes.
By now, everyone knew that this newcomer who had just joined the sect and broken one of Lord Dugu Lingtian’s records was absolutely not relying on luck. He possessed real ability.
Yet facing everyone’s praise, Chu Feng only wore a faint smile and gave no response.
“Thank him?”
“Was it really him who stopped this catastrophe?”
But just as everyone was rejoicing, a discordant voice rang out.
Once that voice sounded, the atmosphere filled with joy instantly fell silent.
Because the speaker was Zuo Qiu Yanliang.
Everyone could sense Zuo Qiu Yanliang’s displeasure.
“The Prison King’s bones are a supreme cultivation treasure. Today, everyone who came here had the intention to stop the catastrophe. Senior Brother Zuo Qiu has merit as well. How to distribute them should be decided by you, Senior Brother Zuo Qiu.”
Duanmu tried to flatter Zuo Qiu Yanliang.
At this moment, Zuo Qiu Yanliang was sitting cross-legged. With Song Qian’s help, his injuries had improved somewhat.
But he did not stand up immediately. After healing for a while longer, he opened his eyes and swept his gaze across everyone.
“Do you all think this Prison King should be distributed by me?”
His words carried deep meaning.
He was implying: Are you still willing to acknowledge me as the strongest here?
“Senior Brother Zuo Qiu, you are the disciple with the highest prestige and the strongest strength among us. By reason and by right, it should be you who distributes them.”
“Stopping the Slaughter Cleansing Ritual, Senior Brother Zuo Qiu deserves the greatest credit. If not you, then who else could distribute them?”
Led by the Duanmu brothers, the other true disciples also spoke up one after another.
They had not even left this place yet, and they were already fighting over credit.
“Good. Since that is the case, I will distribute them.”
Zuo Qiu Yanliang was very satisfied with their response. He even gave Chu Feng a smug glance.
That look was extremely provocative, as if saying: So what if you defeated the tiger flood dragon?
The credit still belongs to me, does it not?
Zuo Qiu Yanliang’s actions caused Li Muzhi and the others to show displeasure on their faces.
Because Zuo Qiu Yanliang was truly being far too shameless.
However, Chu Feng remained unconcerned and kept a faint smile on his face.
Then Zuo Qiu Yanliang did not delay. He really began distributing the tiger flood dragon’s bones.
Almost every disciple present received a share, but a few were excluded. Besides Chu Feng, Li Muzhi, Ma Yueyue, Zhao Shi, and the other disciples who had handed their soul-bound treasures to Chu Feng received none of the tiger flood dragon’s bones.
“Senior Brother Zuo Qiu, is this distribution not somewhat unfair?”
Li Muzhi said.
“Unfair? In what way is it unfair?”
Zuo Qiu Yanliang asked in a stern voice.
“How did the Prison King die?”
“It was Junior Brother Chu Feng who killed it.”
“Everyone who came here today had the intention to stop the catastrophe. I, Li Muzhi, do not object to saying that everyone has merit.”
“But when it comes to the greatest merit, it undoubtedly belongs to Junior Brother Chu Feng.”
“By all reason, the distribution should be decided by Junior Brother Chu Feng.”
“So why, when distributing, is there no share for Junior Brother Chu Feng?”
Li Muzhi questioned with great displeasure.
In truth, he was also afraid of Zuo Qiu Yanliang, but he could no longer stand by. He truly could not tolerate Zuo Qiu Yanliang’s shameless behaviour.
“Li Muzhi, do you know why Chu Feng and the six of you received none of the Prison King’s bones?”
Zuo Qiu Yanliang asked.
“That is exactly what I do not understand, so I am asking.”
Li Muzhi replied.
“Do you really think the Prison King was defeated by Chu Feng?”
“Do you really think that the six of you handing over your soul-bound treasures to Chu Feng and helping him control the Prison King counts as great merit?”
“Let me tell you, although the Prison King died, it was absolutely not thanks to your efforts. It was because I had just used the Wolong Sword Formation to inflict severe injuries on it.”
“Not to mention Chu Feng, any single person present could have used soul-bound treasures to control the Prison King.”
“Because it was already gravely injured and had no will left to resist.”
“But the one who severely injured the Prison King was me. It was I, Zuo Qiu Yanliang.”
“And that Chu Feng merely reaped the benefits without effort.”
Zuo Qiu Yanliang said.
“Zuo Qiu Yanliang, you…”
Li Muzhi was so angry that his teeth clenched and veins bulged on his forehead.
He never imagined that Zuo Qiu Yanliang could be shameless to such an extent.
Clearly, his earlier attacks had been futile and had nearly caused a disaster.
In the end, it was Chu Feng who single-handedly turned the situation around and stopped the catastrophe.
Yet Zuo Qiu Yanliang had brazenly claimed the credit as his own and even slandered Chu Feng for taking advantage of the situation.
It was not only Li Muzhi. Even the others felt utterly speechless.
It was as though they were seeing Zuo Qiu Yanliang’s true face for the first time.
Before this, no one had expected Zuo Qiu Yanliang to stoop to such shamelessness.
Even if he wanted to steal credit, using such an argument felt far too forced and excessive to everyone.
