“What? You want to fight Young Master Shura together, eleven against one junior?” The elders of the Red Cloak Holy Land were shocked.
Facing their stunned gazes, the leader of the Secret Cave Group Saints nodded, “Exactly.”
“How shameless! You’re supposed to be renowned figures in the All Heavens Star Domain. How can you stoop to bullying a junior like this?”
The elders were furious, grinding their teeth, itching to beat the Secret Cave Group Saints right there.
“Leader, the Secret Cave Group Saints live up to their reputation—utterly shameless with no bottom line.”
“We shouldn’t continue this wager with such people. Just drive them out!”
“No, not just drive them out. They cheated their way into the Spirit Mansion Gate. We should capture them and send them to the Seven Suns Mountain Range for Master Yuan Shu to deal with.”
The elders were livid, no longer interested in honoring the bet and instead contemplating how to punish the group.
“Hmph, one word: bet or don’t.”
“If you can’t afford to lose, just say so. Don’t threaten us.”
“You think the Secret Cave Group Saints are easy to bully?”
“If you don’t want to follow the rules and prefer force, go ahead and try.”
“See if we’re fish on a chopping board or a nightmare the Red Cloak Holy Land shouldn’t provoke.”
Unfazed, the Secret Cave Group Saints mocked the elders’ words.
“Young Master Shura, are you willing to try facing eleven alone?” the Red Cloak Holy Land Leader asked Chu Feng.
She was actually considering agreeing.
This alarmed the elders.
“Leader, their demand is outrageous. We can’t let Young Master Shura take such a risk!”
“Leader, absolutely not!”
The elders pleaded.
“Silence.”
The Leader’s soft rebuke wasn’t loud, but it instantly hushed the elders.
“Leader, Shura is willing to try,” Chu Feng said.
“Very well, thank you, Young Master Shura,” the Leader replied, then turned to the Secret Cave Group Saints. “This unreasonable bet, we accept. But if we win and you try any tricks, don’t blame me, Han Xiu, for being unkind.”
“Rest assured, Leader Han, we Secret Cave Group Saints are honest,” their leader said with a grin.
Swish, swish, swish—
The other ten members of the Secret Cave Group Saints leaped to the plaza’s center.
All eleven stood in formation, facing Chu Feng.
The elders’ hearts raced with anxiety, and even the usually calm Yin Zhuanghong showed deep worry on her face.
These were the Secret Cave Group Saints, after all.
Though their reputation was poor, their strength was undeniable.
Little Eleven, the lowest-ranked among them, had defeated Zhang Duotuo in one round.
Zhang Duotuo, despite everything, was a renowned spirit master in the Reincarnation Upper Realm.
Though Chu Feng had beaten Little Eleven, it took a full hour to win, and it wasn’t an easy victory.
Now, Chu Feng was to face all eleven alone.
Everyone knew his chances were slim.
“Secret Cave Group Saints, are you ready?” Chu Feng suddenly asked.
His words drew everyone’s attention.
Not only did he show no fear facing all eleven, but a faint, eerie smile played on his lips, as if hiding some scheme.
“You little brat, you’re awfully cocky.”
“I wasn’t afraid of you one-on-one, and now with all eleven of us here, you think we’d fear you?”
“I know you held back against Little Eleven, saving your strength to make us underestimate you.”
“But you miscalculated. I’m not that easy to fool,” the Secret Cave Group Saints’ leader said smugly.
His words brought clarity to the crowd.
So, Chu Feng had been hiding his true strength, and the leader saw through it, prompting this outrageous demand.
Suddenly, people looked at Chu Feng with less despair and a spark of anticipation, wondering if he truly had hidden depths, as the leader claimed.
“So that’s it. No wonder you don’t dare face me alone—you’re scared,” Chu Feng said, his smile growing more mocking.
“Scared? Kid, if you think that, you’re dead wrong.”
“You think I’d be afraid of you?”
“This is called winning with certainty.”
“Enough useless talk. Make your move. I want to see how much strength you’ve hidden.”
“But let me tell you, no matter how much you’ve hidden, it’s useless. You’re doomed to lose today,” the leader declared.
Chu Feng cursed inwardly, *This old thing’s shameless.*
No more useless talk?
*You finish your speech, then tell me to shut up?*
But Chu Feng didn’t retort further. He was done wasting words with them. He’d let his strength do the talking.
