“What are you standing there for? Aren’t you going to apologize to Master Liangqiu?”
Chu Feng addressed the four spirit formation masters.
“You…”
The four masters’ faces twitched.
Though shocked that Chu Feng had broken the protective barrier, they couldn’t bring themselves to kowtow and apologize to Master Liangqiu.
After all, from the start, Liangqiu was the one they despised most.
Who would willingly kowtow to someone they scorned?
“Kneel!!!”
At that moment, a furious shout rang out from Long Daozhi.
As he roared, his killing intent surged forth.
Seeing this, the four spirit formation masters jumped in fear, turning their pleading eyes to the four faction leaders.
“Masters, a person’s word must be kept.”
The four faction leaders spoke in unison.
Hearing this, the four spirit formation masters had no choice but to accept their fate.
“We were wrong earlier. Please don’t hold it against us, Master Liangqiu.”
The four spoke simultaneously.
But though they apologized, they didn’t kneel or kowtow, and their tone lacked any sincerity.
“I told you to kowtow and apologize.”
“Not to brush it off so lightly.”
Long Daozhi roared again, his killing intent growing colder.
It was as if he’d kill them if they didn’t comply.
More importantly, the four faction leaders’ attitudes remained the same as before.
In this situation, though deeply unwilling, the spirit formation masters had no choice but to obey.
“Master Liangqiu, we were wrong.”
Even so, their kowtowing was perfunctory, still lacking sincerity.
After kneeling and kowtowing, the four immediately stood, saying to Chu Feng, “That’s enough, right?” Their tone even carried a hint of impatience.
“Enough?” Chu Feng sneered. “The conditions I stated earlier weren’t just these.”
“Chu Feng, we’ve already apologized. Don’t push it too far.”
The four spirit formation masters, unable to hold back, shouted at Chu Feng.
They could tolerate kowtowing, but cutting out their own tongues was something they couldn’t do.
“Little friend, it was all a misunderstanding before. We’re allies, so there’s no need to be so serious.”
“Now that the barrier’s broken, let’s hurry into the Endless Abyss. Many have already gone ahead, and we need to catch up.”
The four faction leaders spoke up.
Their attitudes had shifted dramatically from before.
They spoke to Chu Feng with great courtesy, devoid of their earlier disdain and arrogance, almost as if they were coddling him, fearful of saying anything to upset him.
“I can break this barrier entrance, and I can seal it.”
“You can’t see it now, but I’ve already sealed this entrance.”
“Unless I undo it, none of you will get in. The barrier I’ve set is stronger than the original.”
Chu Feng said.
Hearing this, many present were shocked.
Chu Feng’s actions were tantamount to holding them hostage.
“Audacious thief! Now’s the time to hurry into the Endless Abyss.”
“How dare you seal the entrance and obstruct these lords?”
“You should know they hired us to help, not to cause trouble.”
Suddenly, one of the four spirit formation masters—the one who first slandered Liangqiu—pointed at Chu Feng and scolded him.
He had been terrified of Chu Feng.
After all, they were in the wrong, and Chu Feng had broken the barrier.
But when Chu Feng claimed he’d sealed the entrance with a barrier, he saw a chance to turn the tables.
He knew what kind of people these faction leaders were.
Though exiled from the Long Clan, they were still extremely proud and disliked being threatened.
He believed Chu Feng’s actions were a grave mistake, giving him an opportunity to turn the situation against him.
“Little friend Chu Feng, have you really set a barrier?”
The four faction leaders turned to Chu Feng, their gazes unfriendly.
Seeing this, the outspoken spirit formation master smirked smugly.
His plan seemed to be working.
These leaders wouldn’t tolerate Chu Feng threatening them.
“Yes.”
Yet, facing their questioning, Chu Feng remained calm and composed.
“Good.”
The four leaders exchanged glances.
Swish—
Swish—
Swish—
Swish—
Suddenly, all four leaders struck.
Blood sprayed as screams erupted from the four spirit formation masters’ mouths.
They collapsed, wailing, blood gushing from their mouths.
The four leaders had attacked them.
“Useless trash.”
“We hired you to break the formation.”
“Not only did you fail, but you slandered others, showing your deplorable character.”
“People like you deserve punishment.”
After striking, the leaders harshly scolded the four spirit formation masters.
Despite defending their hired masters earlier, when their interests were at stake, they chose to cut ties without hesitation.
After the reprimand, they turned to Chu Feng. “Little friend Chu Feng, they’ve been punished. Can we undo the barrier and enter the Endless Abyss now?”
When they spoke to Chu Feng again, their earlier sternness was gone, replaced by smiles and a gentle tone.
Seeing this, Master Liangqiu and the people of Ancestral Martial Dragon City were filled with emotion.
Just moments ago, these people had been haughty, looking down on Chu Feng.
Now, they were respectful, even humble, afraid of offending him.
This was the power of true ability.
Chu Feng had changed their attitude with his skill.
Facing their deference, Chu Feng flashed a playful smile.
“Seniors, aren’t you a bit too ruthless?”
“I was just scaring them. Why did you actually attack?”
After saying this, the four leaders’ faces darkened.
But Chu Feng continued, “Alright, let’s go in. I didn’t set any barrier.”
“I came here to help, not to cause trouble.”
“Setting a barrier to seal the entrance? I wouldn’t do that.”
Hearing this, the four leaders’ faces turned green.
They’d been played!
Their anger surged, their hearts burning, even harboring killing intent toward Chu Feng.
In all their years, few had dared to toy with them like this.
Especially not someone from the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
But despite their raging fury, they forced smiles.
They could see now that this young man from the Ancestral Martial Starfield had real skill.
If they wanted to obtain the Dragon Vein Source Stone and return to the Long Clan, they needed to rely on this Chu Feng. So, no matter how furious they were, they didn’t dare show it.
