Chapter 31: Cultivating Beneath the Well (1/2)

As Chen Feng practiced the cultivation technique, a thick layer of primary energy seeped out from his body to form a spherical barrier around him, pushing the surrounding waters away. Chen Feng then became ensconced within the barrier.

Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!

Sounds rang out from within Chen Feng’s body. That was the sound of the potent medicinal power repairing and nourishing the damaged parts of Chen Feng’s body. After getting repaired by the medicinal power from the Imperial Blood Grass, some of his damaged bones, muscles, blood and meridians transformed, becoming even stronger and more resilient than before.

Everything was proceeding well.

While Chen Feng was cultivating himself at the bottom of the well, undercurrents surged within Black Origin City and storms erupted all over the city. There were cultivators searching for Chen Feng everywhere. Numbering the most amongst those cultivators were the cultivators from Tiger Form Sect. After all, Chen Feng had disappeared within their territory.

Other than Tiger Form Sect, Iron Sword Sect had also dispatched a considerable number of disciples. They had even mobilized the soldiers from Iron Sword Brigade to block off some of the exits for Black Origin City. The reason they gave was that they were trying to capture a traitor from their sect.

While the other forces did not mobilize such a large number of personnel out, they had still secretly sent out some experts. If news of Chen Feng’s whereabouts were to emerge, they would immediately take action to capture him.

Tiger Form Sect…

“Sect Master, we have investigated the matter. Iron Sword Sect is trying to capture Chen Feng.” The Tiger Form Sect elder who had first appeared at the scene that night, Elder Ma Yang, spoke to a tall, middle-aged man. The imposing middle-aged man, who exuded sheer power, was Tiger Form Sect’s Sect Master, Hu Lie. He was also a cultivator who had reached the Concealed stage.

“I hear that Chen Feng is practicing an immortal dao sect’s cultivation technique. In a matter of months, he rose from the development of primary energy (2nd) layer to primary energy takes form (7th) layer. Is that true?” Hu Lie spoke slowly.

“Whether that is true or not, subordinate does not know. At present, however, the elders from Iron Sword Sect are trying to capture him. That itself signifies something is going on. Additionally, for Chen Feng’s rate of cultivation to suddenly become so fast, there must be a reason for it. Sect Master, I would rather believe it to be true. Even if it is not an immortal dao sect’s cultivation technique, the kid must have obtained something good,” said Ma Yang.

“In that case, Ma Yang, lead some men to properly search around. Find him quickly. Don’t let others seize him away,” said Hu Lie seriously.

“Affirmative, Sect Master!”

Iron Sword Sect…

“Just what the hell is going on? Why are you trying to capture Chen Feng?” asked the Great Elder, his face slightly furious.

“A talented disciple has appeared within our sect. We should be working hard to cultivate him. You guys? You actually went about trying to stamp him? If you do not give me a detailed explanation, the Sect Master will certainly punish you all when he comes out from his cultivation retreat.”

“Great Elder, allow me to explain. According to the information we received, Elder Wang’s death is connected to him. Besides, this time, it was because he was lurking around Elder Liang’s residence. He planned on being discourteous towards Elder Liang. Thus, we took action to capture him. Originally, we only thought of catching him and letting the sect deal with him. Unexpectedly, the kid is too slippery. He actually ran into Tiger Form Sect’s territory,” said Elder Tie.

“Yes, Great Elder. Besides, we received reliable news. Chen Feng is practicing an immortal dao cultivation technique, allowing his rate of cultivation to rise so quickly.”

“At present, it is not just Tiger Form Sect. The other sects and even the City Lord Residence have dispatched a large number of men to capture Chen Feng. Great Elder, you need to quickly make a decision.”

“Immortal dao cultivation technique!”

Hearing that caused the Great Elder’s eyes to shine.

“Mm, no matter what, we have to be the one to find Chen Feng first. We absolutely cannot let him fall into the hands of others. Go inquire around. If necessary, I will notify the Sect Master to have him end his cultivation retreat in advance.” After pondering the matter, the Great Elder said.

City Lord Residence…

The Grand Commander of the Iron Guard Army and Sun Ming were talking to each other.

“Grand Commander, I hear that the City Lord has given the order to find Chen Feng. Is that true?” asked Sun Ming.

“It is true. I do not know who spread the news out, telling everyone that Chen Feng is practicing an immortal dao cultivation technique. Chased by Iron Sword Sect’s elders, Chen Feng ran into Tiger Form Sect’s territory. Right now, an unimaginable number of people within Black Origin City wants to find him,” replied the Grand Commander.

“If only he had been willing to join our City Lord Residence back then.” Sun Ming shook his head and sighed. Back in the battlefield, Chen Feng had rescued Sun Ming. Naturally, Sun Ming did not want anything bad to happen to Chen Feng.

“This matter is too big. The secrets of the immortal dao. The weight of those words is simply too heavy. Not even our City Lord Residence can protect him. Additionally, it is obvious that the City Lord himself has become tempted,” said the Grand Commander.

“No matter what, Chen Feng had saved me before back in the battlefield. I will bring some men out to patrol around. Hopefully, I can help him somehow,” said Sun Ming.

At the same time, the other forces within Black Origin City, the four great families, Flash Wind Hall, Giant Spirit Faction, all of them sent out their experts to search, both in broad daylight and in secrecy. All of them were trying to find Chen Feng.

Glug! Glug! Glug!

The water of the well continued to seethe. Additionally, the turbulence of the seething water grew increasingly intense. Finally, water vapour rose out continuously from the well. At that moment, the well became like a volcano that was on the verge of erupting. Thankfully, there was no one within the courtyard. Otherwise, the irregular situation would be discovered.

Rumble! Rumble!

The current Chen Feng was fully focused, uncaring of the abnormal situation transpiring around him. Thick primary energy circulated ceaselessly and every corner of Chen Feng’s body released sounds similar to that of a raging river. But that was not even the biggest detail. Most shockingly, blood energy within Chen Feng’s body was continuously rising upwards. Thick blood energy seeped out from every pore within his body to assail his mind.
