Chapter 36: Forced (1/2)

“You all!”

Chen Feng’s face sank. He could feel all the meridians within his body becoming restricted. His primary energy became like stagnant water. Every last drop of energy within his body was lost and it became impossible for him to even struggle.

“Kid, be obedient. For us, killing you is as easy as lifting a finger,” said the youngster in white coolly.

“Just what do you fellows want? Surely, I have not offended you?” Chen Feng asked solemnly.

When Chen Feng failed to escape, he noticed that they had only used one move to capture him. He realized that these three were likely more powerful compared to Mo Yuan and the others.

“I don’t want anything. I just want you to follow us to the Greenjade Magic Pool. Stay obedient and you will get some benefits once this matter is over,” said the youngster in white.

“Fifth Senior Brother, why talk so much with him? Let’s just go.” Suddenly, the charming woman spoke up impatiently.

“True, we cannot be slow. If others get there first, we won’t be able to avoid engaging in a fight,” said Fifth Senior Brother.

“Let’s go!”

After saying that, their swords shone out and the three of them took Chen Feng with them as they flew up into the sky.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Chen Feng could feel the strong winds rushing past his ears. The lands below flashed by. This level of speed was several times faster compared to him flying with wings.

This is the flight speed of Concealed stage cultivators. I wonder, what level of the Concealed stage are these three at? However, these three definitely do not have any good intentions by restraining me. Sigh! I had only escaped from the tiger’s den only to stumble into the wolf’s lair. I wonder if I can escape this calamity? Chen Feng thought to himself.

After one joss stick’s worth of time, Chen Feng could sense that they had travelled through at least hundreds of li. The three of them then brought Chen Feng with them as they descended before a dark pool of water (1 li = 0.5 km).

After landing, Fifth Senior Brother released Chen Feng. Immediately, Chen Feng checked his body’s situation. His primary energy felt like mud and he was simply incapable of circulating them. He knew, then, that this was the handiwork of Fifth Senior Brother.

“The water here is actually black, how strange. It is obviously black, so why is it called Greenjade Magic Pool?” the charming woman opened her cherry lips and said. There was a fawning quality to her voice, seemingly trying to entice others on purpose. At the same time, her brows furrowed slightly, increasing the atmosphere of flirtation from her.

Hearing her voice, Chen Feng felt his heart itching. Part of his blood surged and he quickly recollected himself even as his heart screamed: Evil sect!

“This place is indeed the Greenjade Magic Pool. As for why the water in this pool is black, there is a reason for it,” Fifth Senior Brother said coolly, his pair of eyes fixed upon the strange pool in front of them.

By then, Chen Feng had also gotten a clear look at the pool before them. Although it was called a pool, it was actually even bigger than the average lake. At the very least, even with Chen Feng’s vision, he could not see how big the pool was.

The water of the lake was as black as ink. Using his eyes to observe, all he could sense was incomparable viscosity. He could not see what was within the water. More surprisingly, there was a thick black fog floating above the surface of the water. That was also the reason why Chen Feng was incapable of seeing into the pool.

At the same time, the dark water exuded strands of fishy stench. Just by inhaling a slight amount of the stench caused Chen Feng to feel his head spinning. The primary energy within his body seethed and his already stabilized primary energy shook.

“What a powerful poisonous energy! It is being emitted by this pool. No wonder I cannot sense any life fluctuations from fishes or others the like here.” Chen Feng was shocked. He wanted to circulate his primary energy to get rid of the poisonous energy, but was incapable of doing so. It was very unbearable. Lowering his head, he saw blisters forming on the exposed surface of his hand. This was the handiwork of the poisonous energy in the air.

Deng! Deng! Deng!

Chen Feng hastily took about 10 steps backwards while halting his breath. There was an aghast expression on his face. The poisonous energy here had exceeded Chen Feng’s imagination.

Fifth Senior Brother pointed a finger out, twirling it at Chen Feng. Next, a flow of light entered Chen Feng’s body. Immediately, the primary energy within Chen Feng’s body began circulating, returning to normalcy. Chen Feng hastily circulated them to quickly expel the poisonous energy from his body.

“A drop of water from this pool can easily poison a 9th layer Training Body and Energy stage cultivator to death. The poisonous energy floating above it can also kill some flying birds. This is why there are no other life forms in the surrounding area.” As Fifth Senior Brother spoke, he waved his hand and a water sphere swirled about continuously upon his palm while radiating a black-coloured light. It gave them a bizarre feeling.

“I wonder if that thing is here?” said the youngster in blue.

“There should be no mistake. I will go in to search for a bit first.” After saying that, Fifth Senior Brother’s body emitted strands of flowing light to quickly form a light barrier around himself. Next, he leapt deep into the pool. The thick layers of poisonous energy were all blocked off by the light barrier around him.

This place is so dangerous. These three fellows do not have good intentions in bringing me here. I wonder, how do I escape? Chen Feng thought to himself.

“Kid, don’t even think about fleeing. In front of us, you cannot flee. If you are disobedient, I can kill you with just one finger,” said the youngster in blue after giving Chen Feng a glance. It would appear that he had seen through Chen Feng’s intent.

“He he! Given my strength, I am probably incapable of walking out of Black Origin Mountain Range alone. Naturally, I will not be having any other intentions,” said Chen Feng with a smile.

At present, it would appear that Chen Feng did not possess the strength to resist them, far from it. For the time being, he could only bear with it and slowly find an opportunity.
