Everlasting Chapter 318: Sage Enigma Flame (1/2)

It was one of Chen Feng's most powerless moments. He could sense an overpowering soul power flitting through his sea of wisdom. Chen Feng knew that He Minghui was currently utilizing a soul-searching technique on him. Once He Minghui was done circling his sea of wisdom, everything would be revealed.

Fight! Chen Feng tried fighting back, but found that his soul power was utterly incapable of moving. He was just like a wooden puppet, an immobile wooden puppet who was aware of what was going on.

“Ha ha ha ha! Kid, I did not think you could destroy my arm! Humph! That was simply carelessness on my part. Now, let's see how you struggle against me. Even if you did not kill He Tian and Ma Jun, the fact that you dared resist is a death crime!” He Minghui sneered. At the same time, he mobilized his soul power to continue searching Chen Feng's sea of wisdom.

As Chen Feng was preparing to go all out, a small maelstrom suddenly appeared within his sea of wisdom. Applying a gentle suction force, it sucked in the soul power that He Minghui had sent into Chen Feng's sea of wisdom, leaving not a single sc.r.a.p of it behind.

“You!” He Minghui's face abruptly sank and he furiously backed away. He stared at Chen Feng, a look of dread appearing on his face.

He had suddenly lost contact with the stream of soul power he sent out. It was as though something had devoured it. Or perhaps, it had slipped into a separate dimension. At any rate, He Minghui knew that portion of his soul power was not coming back.

Blood rose to He Minghui's mouth, but he forced it down instead. That stream of soul power had contained one quarter of He Minghui's soul. Its sudden disappearance impacted his essence power, causing his power to plummet drastically. There was no telling how long it would take him to recover his power.

At that very moment, He Minghui wanted nothing more than to rush out and slap Chen Feng senseless. However, he did not have the courage to do so. That earlier incident was too terrifying. His soul had disappeared within Chen Feng's mind all of a sudden. It was something he had never expected.

Is this kid actually playing the pig to bait the tiger? That cannot be right. He is clearly a Concealed stage cultivator! What is going on here? He Minghui was terribly vexed and confused.

“He Minghui, what are you s.p.a.cing out for? Why aren't you attacking?” Suddenly, Zhao Chongyun's voice entered He Minghui's ear.

None of the elders – including Third Elder – realized what had happened within Chen Feng's mind. They were all puzzled as to why He Minghui would suddenly stop his actions.

No! He Minghui's soul power has suddenly grown weak. What happened? Third Elder's eyes suddenly lit up. Did someone secretly make a move? But I did not sense anything! How peculiar.

Chen Feng too, secretly asked Tower, “Tower, was that you earlier?”

“Not me.” Tower merely responded with the two words before turning silent.

“Not Tower? Then who?” Chen Feng was surprised.

Earlier, his soul power definitely disappeared when it was within my sea of wisdom. Could it be? After reaching that thought, Chen Feng's mind fell into a momentary state of turmoil. However, he recollected himself and focused on what was happening in the room.

“What is it, Elder He? Why aren't you attacking anymore?” Chen Feng said with a grin.

“Hmm?”

“Something is not right!”

By then, all the elders present could sense something amiss. They had all witnessed He Minghui send his soul power into Chen Feng's mind. However, it would appear that Chen Feng was completely unaffected.

Thus, everyone grew shocked. He Minghui had overcome 7 Lightning Tribulations. Forget a Concealed stage cultivator, any one of them would have found it hard to unravel He Minghui's soul attack.

“You, what is going on here!” He Minghui snapped in a hushed tone, not daring to attack.

“Humph! You dare use soul attacks on me? I want to use this sword to chop off your other arm!” Chen Feng sneered and made to step forward.

“Who dares bully my apprentice!” Suddenly, a voice came from outside the Hall of Elders. The reverberations from the voice was such that the hundred plus elders there felt their ears buzzing.

Next, they saw something flash before their eyes. A ruddy-faced, chubby old man with dishevelled hair had suddenly appeared in the great hall.

It was none other than the chubby old man that Chen Feng addressed as 'cheap master'.

“Sage Enigma Flame.” Third Elder spontaneously got up.

However, the chubby old man ignored Third Elder. Instead, he stared intently at Chen Feng, regarding him from head to toe. There was a hint of elation in his eyes.

“Good, good! As expected of my dear apprentice! It has only been a while, but you have improved greatly!” The chubby old man laughed.

“Cheap master, it really is you,” Chen Feng said happily.

“Right! Someone bullied you earlier, no? Have no fear, your maser is here! No one will dare bully you anymore. He he. If there are any issues, master will protect you.” The old man laughed out again.

“Kid, was it you? Did you bully my dear apprentice?” the chubby old man shouted, turning towards He Minghui.

“Elder Enigma Flame, I, I-” By then, He Minghui was so terrified, he could not find the words to say anything. At the same time, he cursed silently. If only I had known, I wouldn't have listened to Zhao Chongyun. This old guy came out for real, what should I do?

“You, you, you what? Did you bully my disciple?!” Sage Enigma Flame glared at him.

“I, junior, senior…” By then, He Minghui could no longer form coherent sentences.
