Chapter 152: Partnership (2/2)

“Since there is a Yao King, this will be too dangerous. I suggest we retreat,” said another cultivator.

“Retreat? What a joke! I will not be retreating after coming this far. Personally, I have never seen how a Yao King looks like,” said another cultivator with a contemptuous tone.

“If there is really a Yao King, going in means certain death.”

“Say there really is a Yao King. If Mo Ji’s group can enter, so can we. Besides, I still want to settle the account with that woman.”

After a round of dispute, two of the cultivators there decided to stop going forward and turn back. The roars earlier had filled them with feelings of danger. Add Chen Feng’s news about a Yao King, the two became terrified.

“Cowards. Since they are so timid, they should never have entered Demon Soul Valley from the start,” said the young cultivator with a ridiculing tone.

“I don’t have the time to argue with you fellows. If I am late, I fear there will be nothing left.” Seeing the continuous disputes between them, Chen Feng could no longer hold himself back. His figure flashed out as he rushed forward.

“Let’s go.” Xiao Yin was the first to follow him.

After the two cultivators left, the remaining headcount for the group – including Chen Feng – was seven people.

They were Chen Feng, Evil Moon Grotto Master, Elegant Gentleman, the old cultivator, Xiao Yin, the middle-aged cultivator and the young cultivator.

Chen Feng covertly analysed those people’s cultivation bases and was secretly shocked. Not only were their cultivation bases all higher than him, Evil Moon Grotto Master, Xiao Yin and the old cultivator possessed Prized artefacts while the middle-aged cultivator and the young cultivator appeared to possess certain concealed techniques of their own.

I wonder if I am doing the right thing by joining up with these people. That Evil Moon Grotto Master is especially powerful. Chen Feng was feeling somewhat worried.

Still, I do have a trump card up my sleeve. Chen Feng then smiled.

Shua!

As Chen Feng was silently pondering his situation, a figure quickly appeared beside him. It was none other than the one who had been following behind him all this time, the Young Sect Master of Demon Sound Sect, Xiao Yin.

“Oh? Is there anything you want?” Seeing Xiao Yin move alongside him leisurely; Chen Feng could not stop himself from asking. He did feel somewhat fearful of this cultivator who was younger than him.

After having witnessed Xiao Yin utilize his Grotto Soul Flute to attack, Chen Feng knew that this fellow was incredibly powerful. Additionally, he was also the Young Sect Master of the Demon Sound Sect. Someone like him must surely possess certain life-saving means. It wouldn’t be farfetched for him to have some hidden experts serving as his bodyguards.

“The things you said earlier, you were making it up, weren’t you? I can sense it.” Xiao Yin suddenly smiled.

“Oh?” Chen Feng was stunned. He did not expect that.

“Is that so? Then, why didn’t you expose me?” replied Chen Feng with a faint smile.

“Although you made it up, it was not done blindly. Since entering these ruins, I have been sensing this strange aura. I believe there is a powerful guy within these ruins,” said Xiao Yin.

“If so, why do you keep going to death’s door? You are Demon Sound Sect’s Young Master. Your body is practically worth its weight in gold,” said Chen Feng with a smile.

“Humph! Without power, even if I am the son of an Immortal Human, it would still be pointless. At the end of the day, the motto for us cultivators is: might makes right.” The smile on Xiao Yin’s face suddenly disappeared.

“That is true.” Chen Feng smiled.

“I want to make a deal with you,” Xiao Yin suddenly said.

“Oh? What kind of deal?” Chen Feng felt curious.

“Next up, I hope we can form a temporary alliance to help each other when snatching treasures. It will be better than going at it alone,” said Xiao Yin with a smile.

“Oh, so you want a partnership. Why find me, though? Aren’t the others more suitable? I am just a minor cultivator who just recently reached the Concealed stage.” Chen Feng could not stop himself from chuckling.

“Partnering up with powerful cultivators, I fear that I will end up on the losing end. You are the only one who doesn’t look like the type to secretly plot against me,” said Xiao Yin in a hushed tone, a wry smile on his face.

“Ha ha ha! Hopefully, you are not making the wrong choice,” Chen Feng laughed out.

“Since we are partners now, there is something I need to tell you. You have to be careful. Some people will probably attack you.” This time, Xiao Yin was using secret vocal transmission to communicate with Chen Feng.

“Oh, is that so?” Chen Feng felt shocked.

“Let me guess, the Evil Moon Grotto Master?” Chen Feng then said.

“There are others. At any rate, you need to be careful. They all have their eyes set on your Prized artefact. Later on, if the opportunity presents itself, someone will surely attempt to snatch it away. Furthermore, that Evil Moon Grotto Master is truly a narrow-minded fellow. Since you have offended him, it is only a matter of time before he tries to kill you,” Xiao Yin reminded him.

“Thank you for your reminder. I am actually hoping someone would attack me now.” Chen Feng deliberately put on a cryptic smile.

Bang!

As they were swiftly advancing, a building to their side, over 100 zhang in height, abruptly exploded. Countless boulders came smashing down upon Chen Feng and the others (1 zhang = 3.333 m).
