Chapter 787 Scheme (2/2)
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
With the magic array broken, the eight ocean yao guards quickly charged out.
Wielding the Blood Mustering Bead in his hand, Chen Feng then slowly stepped forward. A beam of bloody light shot out from the Blood Mustering Bead and a Human Immortal was killed off, his body reduced to a mist of blood, which then flew into the Blood Mustering Bead.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Next, beam after beam of bloody light flew out non-stop. Every beam that Chen Feng fired out meant that a Human Immortal would be killed off. Chen Feng took ruthless action against them. Even so, two of them managed to escape.
Naturally, that was because Chen Feng wanted them to escape.
The battle ended quickly and the ocean yao guards then moved to clear the place.
“Come, let’s go back.”
Chen Feng did not stay there. Instead, he simply returned to Void City.
As for the two Human Immortals who managed to escape, they were left in a state of absolute dread. Without healing up the wounds they took earlier, they kept running, only stopping after running across a distance of hundreds of thousands of li.
Turning to look at each other, they saw a bitter smile on each of their faces. The look of dread was still etched on their faces.
“What should we do now?”
“What else can we do? We had 12 people with us just now. And now, only the two of us are left. We should consider ourselves lucky for being able to escape.”
“Sigh! Who could’ve known that the kid would actually possess a Dao artefact? This result is just too terrible.”
“We were careless. Given how many good items he possesses and the ocean yao guards around him, his background must be very big. It is only natural that someone like him would possess a Dao artefact.”
“Are we to just leave like this? No way! Since we cannot get anything good out of this, we cannot let the kid have an easy time as well! I will go spread a rumour that this kid possesses a peerless treasure hoard! Hopefully, it can lure out some old monstrous characters.”
“That’s right! That’s a good suggestion. That way, the kid will surely end up facing a great deal of troubles. Still, we should focus on healing up our injuries for now.”
After Chen Feng returned to Void City, the way the two Human Immortals from the Xu Family looked at Chen Feng changed. It would appear that they were aware of what had transpired outside the city earlier.
What shocked the two Human Immortals the most was that Chen Feng was actually in possession of a Dao artefact. This was astonishing. Upon receiving word of this, even the higher-ups would feel tempted.
Thus, even if Chen Feng were to express a desire to leave, the Xu Family would think of a way to have him stay.
Three days later, Chen Feng headed outside the city again. Once again, the Human Immortals from the Xu Family did not accompany him. Instead, they were secretly tailing him.
Naturally, Chen Feng was aware of that.
This time, Chen Feng encountered a mid-level Human Immortal outside the city. Likewise, he was here to trouble Chen Feng.
“Kid, I hear that you possess a Dao artefact. Bring it out and let me have a look.”
The cultivator was very straightforward. Thus, Chen Feng responded in kind. He simply brought out the Blood Mustering Bead to beat him up. However, Chen Feng did not kill him. Watching the cultivator flee, Chen Feng laughed.
The Human Immortals from the Xu Family who were hiding in the dark exchanged glances. They had managed to determine the grade of the Dao artefact in Chen Feng’s possession.
“That’s a mid-grade Dao artefact. It’s a good item.”
“We must not let this kid leave Void City! Even for our Xu Family, a mid-grade Dao artefact is a good magic treasure.”
“That will depend on what the higher-ups say. If we want to deal with this kid, we will likely have to dispatch experts.”
“I am afraid we might fail to keep him here. When that happens, we would have brought trouble down on our heads for nothing.”
“What is there to be afraid of? No matter how powerful this kid may be, can he fight against our Xu Family?”
“That is true.”
First-rate families like the Xu Family usually possessed more than one Earthen Immortals. Earthen Immortals were the strongest force in Eternal World. Generally speaking, however, these figures would rarely reveal themselves.
On his third excursion outside Void City, Chen Feng encountered several mid-level Human Immortals who joined forces against him. To Chen Feng’s surprise, they brought out a low-grade Dao artefact for the fight. In the end, using the Blood Mustering Bead, Chen Feng had to expend some effort to beat them back.
On that very same day, he was besieged again as he headed back to Void City. The fight ended with Chen Feng killing off one of the attacking cultivators. Meanwhile, two of his ocean yao guards received serious injuries.
Due to that, Chen Feng stopped going outside the city. Instead, he stayed in the residence provided by the Xu Family and cultivated himself with peace of mind while secretly probing around for the latest news.
As Chen Feng was no longer leaving the city, the cultivators who came for Chen Feng began growing restless. After a round of discussion, they decided to enter the city as well.
Void City was the Xu Family’s headquarters. Even so, given their strength, the cultivators believed that the Xu Family would not take action against them if they limit their actions.
At any rate, most of them were still hoping that they could quietly deal with Chen Feng.
Although the number of cultivators was not high enough, they were individually strong. They possessed formidable combat powers and a great capacity for destruction. Seeing that, the Xu Family dared not be careless about it and they sent out some experts to secretly maintain order.
Due to that, the atmosphere of Void City secretly changed. The source of this change was none other than Chen Feng.
As for Chen Feng, he acted as though there was nothing going on. He would either spend his days cultivating peacefully or invite the Human Immortals from the Xu Family for a few cups of wine and talk about their experiences in the world of cultivation.
