“You incorrigible lot, I should have killed you earlier knowing you would remain so unrepentant, instead of letting you live until now.”
At that moment, a voice rang out beside Chu Feng.
But it was not Chu Feng’s voice.
Glancing over, Chu Feng’s face lit up with joy, for beside him stood a familiar figure, none other than Long Daozhi.
And the one who had gravely wounded the eight was, naturally, Long Daozhi.
“City Lord Long, spare us, please.”
“We only meant to frighten Chu Feng, we had no intention of killing him.”
Seeing the situation turn dire, those people began kneeling and begging for mercy.
They had abandoned any thought of escape, for Long Daozhi’s pressure had sealed off the area.
All they could do now was beg for mercy.
“Disrespect towards me can be forgiven, but disrespect towards young friend Chu Feng, none of you shall live.”
As Long Daozhi spoke, he raised his hand, preparing to slap down and erase them all.
“Senior Long, wait a moment.”
Unexpectedly, Chu Feng spoke up suddenly.
Seeing Chu Feng speak, Long Daozhi was taken aback.
Those people were equally stunned.
They had thought Chu Feng might be pleading for them.
But Chu Feng had no reason to plead, unless he was such a kind-hearted person?
Yet unexpectedly, Chu Feng said: “These people have decent cultivation, their origins would be of great use, before killing them, remember to collect their origins for me, so that when my queen awakens, she can enjoy them.”
It turned out Chu Feng was not pleading, but wanted their origins.
Hearing this, those eight people nearly spat blood in rage.
“Very well, as young friend Chu Feng says.”
With Long Daozhi’s words, his palm fell fiercely.
Martial power like a sickle, resembling a fierce beast, tore those eight into shreds upon landing, killing them utterly.
When the martial power retracted, two barriers floated respectively in Long Daozhi’s two hands.
Within the barriers were some items.
One barrier contained all the treasures from those eight people.
The other barrier held the eight people’s origins.
Long Daozhi’s meaning was clear: all these things were for Chu Feng.
“Senior, the items from these four spiritists might be useful to me, so I will take them.”
“But the other four are your kin, their items might be useful to you, so I will not take them.”
“As for the origins, I want to save them for my queen, so I will not stand on ceremony.”
Chu Feng collected all the treasures and origins from the four spiritists.
Seeing this, Long Daozhi said nothing more, knowing Chu Feng’s temperament.
If Chu Feng did not want them, forcing them upon him would be useless.
So, he kept the treasures from the four faction leaders for himself.
“As the saying goes, courtesy calls for reciprocity.”
“I have accepted senior’s favour, so I should return the gesture.”
“Senior, what do you think this is?”
As Chu Feng spoke, he took out the Dragon Vein Origin Stone.
“Young friend Chu Feng, you truly obtained the Dragon Vein Origin Stone?”
Seeing the Dragon Vein Origin Stone, Long Daozhi trembled with excitement.
Excited though he was, he merely glanced at it before hastily concealing the stone.
This was the treasure that could allow him to return to the Long clan.
It must be handled with caution.
“Senior, I believe the clues here are fake, the Dragon Vein Origin Stone exists, but only one, the remaining three simply do not.”
Chu Feng said.
According to what Long Daozhi had said earlier.
There should be four Dragon Vein Origin Stones here.
Chu Feng had obtained one, so logically there should be three more.
But Chu Feng now basically concluded that the other three did not exist.
“Young friend Chu Feng, why are you so certain?”
Long Daozhi was somewhat puzzled by Chu Feng’s words.
In his view, the Long clan would not deceive them.
“Since entering this place, I have sensed the aura of the Dragon Vein Origin Stone.”
“But only from this one spot.”
“I originally thought all four Dragon Vein Origin Stones were here.”
“But I discovered there is only one here.”
“Now that we have taken this Dragon Vein Origin Stone, I can no longer sense any other aura.”
“So I conclude there are no other Dragon Vein Origin Stones here.”
“Of course, there is another possibility, that someone took the other three before we entered.”
“But I think that possibility is slim.”
“Because this Dragon Vein Origin Stone is not so easily obtained, though we entered the Endless Abyss a bit late, it was only a little late, they should not have found and taken them so quickly.”
Chu Feng said.
“Indeed, it is somewhat suspicious.”
“But it does not matter, anyway I only need one Dragon Vein Origin Stone to return to the Long clan.”
“However, today I owe young friend Chu Feng a great debt, without you, I would surely have missed this Dragon Vein Origin Stone.”
“I, Long Daozhi, truly owe young friend Chu Feng an immense favour, I know not how to repay it.”
As Long Daozhi spoke, his eyes filled with gratitude.
After all, returning to the Long clan was the dream of generations in their Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
But today, realising this dream was all thanks to Chu Feng.
“Senior, you are my lifesaver, this small favour is nothing.”
“But senior, how did you find this place, was it by chance passing by?”
Chu Feng asked curiously.
Chu Feng thought that encountering those eight people could be chalked up to coincidence, perhaps.
But Long Daozhi appearing just here, if also coincidence, was too far-fetched.
“I was swept here by that strange gale.”
Long Daozhi said.
“Senior, were you always in the gale, or did you encounter it again later?”
Chu Feng asked.
“I encountered it again.”
“After separating from you the first time, I kept searching for you but could not find you.”
“But not long after, I encountered that strange gale again, and when the gale dissipated, I sensed your aura and came here, just in time to see those eight scoundrels intending harm upon you.”
“Speaking of it, it is truly somewhat strange.”
“It is as if that gale deliberately brought me to save you.”
Long Daozhi also felt it was too coincidental.
“Yes, that gale is truly somewhat eerie.”
Chu Feng’s brows furrowed, falling into thought.
“Perhaps it is coincidence, after all the world is vast and full of wonders.”
“I have heard of those not born to the same parents, yet having identical appearances, even identical names.”
Long Daozhi said.
“True enough.”
Hearing this, Chu Feng also smiled.
He felt Long Daozhi was right.
Anyway, whether that gale was coincidence or harboured some mystery.
Since it was beneficial to them, it was a good thing.
“Young friend Chu Feng, do you know how we should leave this place?”
Long Daozhi asked.
Now that they had obtained the Dragon Vein Origin Stone.
Long Daozhi wanted to leave quickly and hand the stone to the Long clan.
“Senior Long, no need to worry, this place only seems dangerous, in truth it is not so fearsome.”
“As for the method of leaving, it is actually quite simple.”
“From my observation, when the time comes, we will all be teleported out, even if one wishes to stay, it is impossible.” Chu Feng said.
“How long until then?”
Long Daozhi asked.
“It should be soon.”
Chu Feng said.
“Then good, that is good.”
Long Daozhi was greatly pleased.
During the wait, Chu Feng did not chat idly much with Long Daozhi.
He began studying the blood-coloured whisk of that Blood Mist Heavenly Venerable.
