Everlasting Chapter 55: Venturing Deep Into The Mountain Range (1/2)

After Chen Feng left, the whole of Iron Sword Sect broke into a state of pandemonium. Countless sect disciples ran around ceaselessly. Most of them had been in the midst of cultivation when they were interrupted by the incident. Some of them were simply there to watch the show, some were indignant and some felt alarmed. There were also some others who were crying out for the Sect Master to send men to capture Chen Feng.

”Heh! Capture Chen Feng? Earlier, when Chen Feng was still here, why didn't you fellows step forward and say that? Putting on such a big show right now…” Some of the disciples were incapable of holding back the sneer on their faces.

”That is right. The present Chen Feng has reached the Concealed stage and even the high elder who is usually focused on cultivation was forced to run away. Even if you fellows go after him, you won't be enough for him to fill the gaps between his teeth.”

”After reaching the Concealed stage, he can soar through the sky and slip underground. For people like us to go after him is the equivalent of sending ourselves to death's door. We should just wait for the Sect Master's return and ask him what to do.”

Iron Sword Sect did have cultivators at the ninth layer of Training Body and Energy stage. However, none of them advocated chasing after Chen Feng. Don't joke around. Even the high elder who was at the Concealed stage was no match for Chen Feng. These fellows weren't dumb enough to go get themselves killed.

After two hours, Tie Jianfeng and two high elders descended from the sky. Seeing the chaotic situation of the sect, his face immediately turned grim.

”The Sect Master has returned!”

”Great! Hurry, report the matter to the Sect Master and ask him what to do next!”

”What happened?” After landing on the ground, Tie Jianfeng asked with a grim tone. His voice was like a forceful gale and as cold as a sword. It felt as though a sharp sword was hacking down to cleave a human soul apart. After his voice swept past the disciples, they all felt a cold sensation enveloping every part of their body. Involuntarily, they all grew calm as they cast their gazes at Tie Jianfeng, seemingly having found their pillar of strength.

”Just what has happened here?” Tie Jianfeng asked again. This time, his voice was calm, bereft of the sword intent.

”Sect Master, the truth is…” One of the disciples who was at the astral energy (6th) layer straightened himself and made to step forward to report.

Sou!

It was then that the high elder that Chen Feng forced away quickly arrived before the surrounding crowd.

”Elder Mo, what happened to you?” Seeing his arrival, Tie Jianfeng was taken aback.

”Come, let's find a quiet place to talk about it,” said Elder Mo in a grave tone.

Next, Tie Jianfeng gave a series of commands to the sect disciples before leaving together with the other high elders.

With the Sect Master back to protect the sect, the state of chaos within Iron Sword Sect slowly subsided.

”What? Chen Feng alone did all that?” Having heard the matter from them, Tie Jianfeng slapped the table and jumped to his feet. The expression on his face s.h.i.+fted continuously and was ugly to behold.

”We went outside to find and capture him. Unexpectedly, he came here instead, taking us by surprise,” said Tie Jianfeng.

”Sect Master, at present, our sect's Book Keeping Hall and some other important places have been thrown into chaos by Chen Feng. Especially the Book Keeping Hall. The books there have been completely looted by that kid. He didn't leave a single piece of paper behind.”

”Outrageous! Outrageous!” At that moment, Tie Jianfeng was so infuriated, he no longer knew what to say about the matter. Tie Jianfeng was someone who had cultivated out a sharp sword intent while his heart was anch.o.r.ed like a solid rock, like an immovable mountain. At present, however, he was practically infuriated to the point of puking blood. That was the extent of the impact from Chen Feng's actions.

After a long time, Tie Jianfeng took a deep breath and seemingly regained his calm.

”Since the kid could take away so many items, he should have Magic artefacts the likes of spatial pouches on him,” said one of the high elders.

”What a pity! What a pity! The kid was originally our Iron Sword Sect disciple. To think that things would end up this way. If not for this, our sect would have gained another Concealed stage cultivator and our position within Black Origin City would have risen.”

”Sect Master, what do we do now? Do we go catch Chen Feng?”

”Forget it.” Tie Jianfeng waved his hand.

”This time, Chen Feng returned to our sect but did not start a ma.s.sacre. Given his cultivation base at the Concealed stage and his sword controlling ability, he could have caused a river of blood to run within the sect. Besides, the kid is practicing some high-level cultivation technique and his speed of cultivation is incredibly fast. Wanting to go against him is an impossibility. We would only end up making a powerful enemy. It is better for us to just forget about it,” said Tie Jianfeng slowly.

”Sect Master, what about the losses our sect faced this time?” one of the high elders asked anxiously.

”Just consider it bad luck on our part. This is the result of us not realizing a talent in advance,” said Tie Jianfeng softly. His face had a calm expression, seemingly having forgotten all that had just happened earlier.
