Chapter 293: Core Disciples (1/2)

“Let’s go!” Ma Yun and Lei Ming exchanged glances and decided to retreat. Having realized how strong the other party was, continuing to go forward was a fool’s errand.

“Humph! What cowards! Retreating just because of that? Watch me!” Suddenly, a tall and muscular cultivator wielding a curved blade, which flashed with bolts of lightning, slashed at the mountain.

Sou!

The restrictive barriers abruptly opened up, allowing the cultivator to charge inside. Next, everyone present watched as a gold-coloured monkey engaged the tall and muscular cultivator.

“That is the spirit animal that Chen Feng raises. And that fellow is Zhao Meng, a level 9 Concealed stage cultivator,” said Luo Bo.

“The Four-eared Spirit Monkey is a variant beast. It is very fast and its fleshly body is even more formidable. Zhao Meng is unlikely to gain the upper hand,” said the observing Sun Xuan.

“A good opportunity! Come, let’s attack together!” At the same time, two cultivators who were not far away from Sun Xuan, charged towards Chen Feng’s mountain residence after a brief discussion.

Seeing someone entangle the Four-eared Spirit Monkey, the two of them believed that there was an opportunity to enter. Thus, they hastily made their move. However, the moment they entered the mountain, one of them cried out wretchedly and was blasted far away. His figure then smashed against the ground, unconscious.

“Eh, how peculiar? That fellow earlier was ambushed. Did the Great Yao staying around Chen Feng attack? It didn’t seem that way to me.” Sun Xuan grew puzzled.

Despite having witnessed the cultivator getting blasted out, everyone there was incapable of grasping what had happened. Were there other experts living in the mountain?

The other cultivator, seeing his companion sent flying, became shocked. He immediately released his domain. However, he had only just released his domain when a formidable force slammed against him. The domain around him instantly shattered. As for the cultivator, he coughed out blood as his figure was knocked out as well. He could not even see who had ambushed him before fainting. It was truly a depressing matter.

However, his inability to see who ambushed him did not signify that the others were unable to do so. An elite disciple immediately shouted, “I see it! It’s a demonic beast! Chen Feng is actually raising demonic beasts in his mountain! This is a great crime! Everyone, attack! Break open the restrictive barriers, capture Chen Feng for his crime!”

“There aren’t just demonic beasts. There are also yao beasts! Chen Feng must certainly be a monster. Everyone, hurry up and attack! Slay the yaos, purge the demons!” Another cultivator followed suit to rally the others.

Woah!

Immediately, tens of elite disciples swarmed forward to assault the restrictive barriers around the mountain.

Naturally, only a small number amongst the hundreds of elite disciples there had chosen to attack.

Truth be told, not all of them had designs on Chen Feng’s magic treasures. A considerable number amongst them was there to simply enjoy the show. Even if Chen Feng was truly in possession of a Sacred artefact, could it be easy to snatch? Besides, even if their side were to succeed, they wouldn’t be the ones to obtain the Sacred artefact.

At any rate, almost all the ones who came were elite disciples and their level of strength was pretty much equal. At present, the ones attacking were those with some backing. The other average disciples had the heart but not the ability. Thus, it would be better for them to simply enjoy the show. Charging forward like a fool against someone who possessed a Sacred artefact? They’d be on the losing end.

“These fellows are crossing the line! Are we simply going to watch?” Luo Bo flexed his fists, ready to charge forward.

“Don’t be hasty. If we charge forward, it will result in a group battle. When that happens, matters would escalate to an uncontrollable level,” Sun Xuan said.

“Is this not already a group battle?” Luo Bo pointed at the tens of cultivators attacking the mountain’s restrictive barrier, a sneer on his face.

“Chen Feng has yet to make his move. He should have a plan. Besides, Chen Feng has a Great Yao on his side. He should be able to handle this. If we step forward now, we’ll just end up causing chaos,” Sun Xuan said.

“There are so many disciples swarming forward. Even if he is strong, I fear that Senior Brother Chen would be incapable of handling it.” Luo Bo was still feeling concerned.

“Don’t worry. Should that happen, the sect will certainly intervene. The way I see it, as long as no Sky Human stage expert appears, this matter will not escalate to a serious point,” Sun Xuan said.

That was true. Disregarding the fact that Chen Feng was still in his cultivation retreat, if he truly did emerge, he would not view these elite disciples as a threat. Given his present level of strength, even if there were more of these elite disciples around, Chen Feng could instantly wipe the floor with them. In Eternal World, cultivators as monstrous as Chen Feng – at his cultivation level – were far and few in between.

Zhao Meng, who was fighting against Four Ears, was defeated. The curved blade in his hand was snatched by Four Ears while his muscular body rolled down the mountain. When his body finally hit the foot of the mountain, it was filled with wounds and he could no longer get up.

After having dealt with Zhao Meng, Four Ears began provoking the others while the Phantom Beast stealthily executed sneak attacks while hiding in the dark.

When Chen Feng had captured this Phantom Beast, it was the equivalent of a level 8 Concealed stage cultivator. After following Chen Feng, it had continued to cultivate itself inside the Longevity Tower. It also received some spiritual herbs from Chen Feng. At present, this Phantom Beast was not far away from breaking through to the Great Demon stage. In terms of combat strength, it was slightly above Four Ears. The Phantom Beast’s most powerful ability was stealth, after all. Back then, it had even left Chen Feng in a frantic state.

And yet, despite their strength, they were still inferior in the face of tens of elite disciples. These were the elite disciples of Extreme Celestial Sect, after all. They were not the kind of existences that loose cultivators could match up against.

These elite disciples possessed high cultivation levels and magic treasures. They had also cultivated out several magic techniques. They possessed wondrous magic techniques, teeming energies and even several level 9 Concealed stage disciples amongst their ranks. After doing battle for some time, Four Ears and the Phantom Beast began retreating. At the same time, the restrictive barriers around the mountain began breaking, the handiwork of the elite disciples.

“Since Junior Brother Chen refuses to show us respect, we’ll break the restrictive barriers and go in ourselves,” a level 9 Concealed stage disciple said coldly, his voice spreading throughout the mountain.
