Everlasting Chapter 531: Leaving The Pocket Dimension (2/2)
Suddenly, a crack appeared up in the sky and one cultivator after another flew out from it. After emerging, the cultivators revealed various expressions; some were confused, some were joyful, some were shocked and some were regretful. At any rate, there were various emotions on their faces.
Seeing cultivators emerge from the cracks, the Human Immortals from the various great sects stirred. However, when they saw the number of cultivators there, their faces turned slightly ugly to behold. Too little cultivators had emerged from the pocket dimension. Not even one third of the cultivators they sent in had emerged. The ones sent into the pocket dimension were all the handpicked, elite disciples of the great sects. To have more than half of them die inside caused the Human Immortals' hearts to ache. Naturally, they were also hoping that these surviving cultivators could bring out some good items so that this trip would not have been in vain.
Due to the emergence of the cultivators, the Great Elder rapidly retracted his aura. However, the power that he had gathered upon his hand remained there. Naturally, Chen Feng was aware of every move that the Great Elder was making. He could not stop himself from scoffing inwardly.
Chen Feng then waved his hand and Lei Feng, Mu Qingfeng and Zhang Xuanjin emerged from the Longevity Tower to stand before Chen Feng.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Lei Feng and the other two, the Great Elder's eyelids twitched. He grew more convinced that Chen Feng possessed a Dao artefact.
“Great Elder!” Lei Feng saw the Great Elder the moment he emerged and was stunned.
“You fellows, hurry up and gather up with your fellow sect brothers and sisters,” the Great Elder instructed.
After a moment's hesitation, Lei Feng asked, “Great Elder, what about Junior Brother Chen. Will we bring him back to the sect?”
“He must definitely be brought back to the sect. However, there is no need for you to ask about that. I will handle it!”
“I wonder, how will Great Elder handle it? Are you planning on capturing Junior Brother Chen? Or could it be you do not actually intend on bringing him back to the sect? Will you instead hand him over to Nine Firmaments Palace?” Lei Feng said with a scornful smile.
“Insolence! What is up with the way you talk? This is an act of offending your superior! According to our sect's rules, I can punish you based on those actions of yours!” The Great Elder was thoroughly infuriated. However, he continued to control himself so as to not lose his composure.
“Hey, hey! I will be ensuring Junior Brother Chen's safety. Anyone who tries to go against him will be going against me, Lei Feng. And that means going against the Lei Family!” Lei Feng said with a savage grin. He had gained considerably from this pocket dimension. After returning to the sect, he was confident it would not take him long to break through to the Human Immortal stage. Add the Lei Family as his backer, Lei Feng was simply not fearful of the Great Elder.
“Lei Feng, do you have what it takes to represent the Lei Family? Men, attack and capture the traitor Chen Feng!” the Great Elder shouted coldly. By then, some of Extreme Celestial Sect's disciples had gathered nearby. When they heard the Great Elder, they were all shocked. Next, some revealed looks of hesitation while some revealed looks of glee. Two even stepped forward to pounce at Chen Feng from left and right. The two of them were members of the Department of Elders. They were the Great Elder's trusted subordinates. In the past, when Sage Enigma Flame was still within the sect, they would have at least hesitated. However, Chen Feng was presently getting pursued by Nine Firmaments Palace while the Great Elder had already reached the Human Immortal stage. Thus, the two of them wanted to capture Chen Feng as a show of loyalty to the Great Elder.
“Chen Feng, just come in quietly!”
“Chen Feng, kneel and admit to your wrongdoings!”
Seeing Chen Feng not showing any resistance, they grabbed Chen Feng's shoulders. After successfully doing that, they immediately smiled.
“With this level of strength, you fellows are not even qualified to be running dogs,” Chen Feng said and his arms pulsed. Next, like a flash of lightning, a formidable power erupted and the two cultivators were sent flying, blood spraying out from their mouths even before their figures fell to the ground.
“Chen Feng, you wounded your own sect disciples for no reason. I can kill you right now for this!” A crafty look appeared on the Great Elder's face. Next, he attacked Chen Feng.
This time, however, his attack missed. Strong winds blew, causing the hard ground below to crack. Chen Feng and Jian Xiaotian stood on the Flaming Eagle's back and the three of them were already 100 zhang up in the air.
“A half-step Yao King!”
“Brother Lei, Brother Mu, Brother Zhang, goodbye!” Chen Feng shouted loudly as the Flaming Eagle transformed into a fireball to fly far away.
The Flaming Eagle was a half-step Yao King and a bird-type yao beast. Not even the average Human Immortal could match its flight speed.
When Chen Feng appeared earlier, the cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace's side had wanted to come over and capture him. However, due to the appearance of the other cultivators, the matter was pushed back. None of them could have expected Chen Feng to flee on a half-step Yao King.
“Half-step Yao King! He must have brought it out from the pocket dimension!” The Great Elder's eyes burned fiercely. After just a moment's hesitation, he flew after Chen Feng. As he was already at the Human Immortal stage, the Great Elder was able to mobilize the power of laws with a wave of his hand to empower himself. The worldly powers surged and his figure swiftly disappeared from sight.
