At this moment, the prominent figures no longer hid their fury, their gazes toward Chu Feng more terrifying than wild beasts, as if they wanted to devour him whole.
But the more they stared at Chu Feng with such malice, the fiercer their inner rage grew.
Because, let alone a junior, even an ordinary elder facing their menacing presence would have long been trembling in fear.
Yet Chu Feng, he was an anomaly.
This anomaly faced their angry stares and displeased expressions as if he didn’t see them at all, his face showing not a ripple of emotion.
It was as if he didn’t take them seriously in the slightest.
“Lord Liangqiu Chengfeng, can the treasure within that formation be split evenly?” someone suddenly asked Liangqiu Chengfeng.
They were actually trying to confirm one thing: whether trading the cultivation resources they’d already obtained for the treasure inside the formation was worth it.
“In my opinion, this treasure is a rare cultivation marvel, an exceptional resource that will greatly aid our martial cultivation paths.”
“Though it can’t be divided equally, everyone here can benefit from it together,” Liangqiu Chengfeng said.
Liangqiu Chengfeng’s words stirred the prominent figures, even Song Boqiu’s gaze grew complex.
Clearly, his statement had struck a chord with them.
“Everyone, though little friend Chu Feng is young, his words aren’t false, we wouldn’t be here without Lord Liangqiu Chengfeng’s efforts, but Chu Feng’s contribution is just as vital.”
“Let’s treat this as a reward for him,” one of the big shots suddenly said, pulling out the light orbs he’d collected from his Qiankun pouch and walking toward Chu Feng.
He had compromised.
Faced with the unknown treasure, the rare cultivation resource, he gave in.
“Fine, fine.”
Following suit, the others also took out the light orbs they’d gathered.
Even Song Boqiu chose to compromise.
Yet, as he looked at the light orbs handed to him, a mocking curve appeared on Chu Feng’s lips, and he said:
“Seniors, honesty is key, I said all of them, so why are you holding back?”
“You…” Hearing this, the crowd’s faces darkened again.
They never imagined Chu Feng would know exactly how many light orbs were here, realizing they’d kept some hidden.
“Little friend Chu Feng, aren’t you going too far?”
“We’ve given you some already, that’s more than generous, and you still want everything?”
These were people of status, naturally unwilling to admit they’d skimped, so they shifted the narrative, accusing Chu Feng of greed.
But Chu Feng brushed off their reprimands, firmly stating, “I said I want all of them, if you’re unwilling, take these back.”
“You little punk!!!”
The big shots gritted their teeth in rage at Chu Feng.
But with no other choice, they reluctantly pulled out the cultivation resources they’d stashed away and handed them to him.
“Is this enough now?” someone asked, clearly irritated.
Yet, after collecting all the resources, Chu Feng shook his head again, saying, “This still isn’t everything.”
“What? It’s not everything, we’ve given you all we got!”
“Chu Feng, you’re really pushing it too far.”
“Chu Feng, if you keep this up, you’re just being unreasonable.”
At this point, the prominent figures roared in fury, their patience utterly spent.
Because they had indeed handed over every cultivation resource they’d obtained.
But Chu Feng remained unfazed by their outbursts, instead turning his gaze to Li Taiyi, who lay in the corner nursing his wounds.
In that moment, it clicked for everyone, Chu Feng wasn’t being unreasonable, he wanted Li Taiyi’s share too.
But Li Taiyi would never willingly hand over his cultivation resources, and no one present was willing to make an enemy of him.
Chu Feng had just posed them a real dilemma.
Swish—
Just then, a figure landed in front of Li Taiyi.
Seeing this person, the crowd’s eyes lit up with relief, they’d almost overlooked him.
While they didn’t dare cross Li Taiyi, this man did, because it was Song Boqiu, the one who had gravely injured Li Taiyi.
“Li Taiyi, will you hand it over yourself, or do I take it?” Song Boqiu said to Li Taiyi.
Before Li Taiyi could respond, Song Boqiu acted, snatching the Qiankun pouch from Li Taiyi’s waist.
He didn’t take anything else, only extracting the cultivation resources Li Taiyi had collected, then tossed the pouch back onto him.
“Song Boqiu, Chu Feng, I’m not done with you two.”
Li Taiyi trembled with rage, utterly infuriated.
As the Supreme Elder of the Li Heavenly Clan, he was used to bullying others, never humiliated like this before.
Though Song Boqiu was the one who’d done this to him, he knew Chu Feng was the real mastermind.
His words weren’t empty, he meant to take revenge.
But what enraged him most was that, despite his threats, neither Song Boqiu nor Chu Feng paid him any mind.
Both completely disregarded him.
At that moment, Song Boqiu walked to Chu Feng and handed over the resources taken from Li Taiyi.
“Chu Feng, let’s be clear, if you can’t break this formation, you’ll return all these things in full,” Song Boqiu said in a threatening tone.
Facing Song Boqiu’s threat, a faint smirk curved Chu Feng’s lips, and he replied, “Senior, I’ll be clear too, I’ll do my best to break the formation, but I can’t guarantee success.”
“Either you let me try.”
“Or you take these back now.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng pulled out all the cultivation resources and offered them to Song Boqiu.
“You!!!”
Faced with this Chu Feng, the big shots were so furious their hearts, livers, spleens, and lungs felt ready to explode.
They’d handed over all their cultivation resources just for Chu Feng to break the formation.
Yet after giving everything, Chu Feng wouldn’t even guarantee he could do it.
This was simply too outrageous!!!
