Chapter 607 - 266: The Emergence of the Gold Spirit Seed and Spirit Charm Aura_2
As Chu Ning was assessing the other side, He Feng had already stepped out from among the crowd.
With his eyes fixed tightly on the rough-looking man, he spoke in a deep voice:
"Tie Shi, so, are you thinking of coming to our Cloud Peak Alliance to show off your power?"
"He Feng, I’m not here for you."
The rough-looking man called Tie Shi, with a thunderous voice, wasn’t looking at He Feng, but instead at Ao Langtian nearby.
A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Ao, your Daluo Sect folks are quite bold, even daring to kill my junior brother."
Hearing this, Ao Langtian was slightly taken aback, then frowned.
"Tie Shi, what do you mean by this? We don’t even know who your junior brother is."
"Heh, no need to rush to deny it." Tie Shi sneered coldly at this moment.
"My junior brother’s name is Qiu Wanhua, and before he died, he used a Secret Technique to communicate with me.
The one who killed him was a cultivator from your Daluo Sect!"
Hearing what Tie Shi said, Chu Ning’s heart stirred slightly.
Qiu? Could it be that Qiu Wanhua was the middle-aged cultivator with the surname Qiu who died in the conflict I instigated with the old man surnamed He?
I didn’t expect that he could use a Secret Technique to send a message before he died.
Fortunately, I’ve always been well-concealed, and my appearance and aura have changed.
At this moment, a confused Ao Langtian heard Tie Shi’s confident tone, and his brow furrowed again.
His gaze unintentionally swept over the two other Daluo Sect cultivators beside him, who both shook their heads directly.
Ao Langtian responded coldly at this time:
"Tie Shi, it’s not that I, Mr. Ao, am afraid of you, but this is clearly not something our Daluo Sect did, so stop trying to pin this on us."
Tie Shi chuckled as if he didn’t care at all.
"No worries, I didn’t expect you to admit it. As long as I kill all the Daluo Sect cultivators here, I will have avenged my junior brother."
This man was extremely arrogant, single-handedly challenging so many Cloud Peak Alliance cultivators without the slightest politeness in his words.
All the Daluo Sect members, including Ao Langtian, had their expressions change slightly, seemingly quite wary of Tie Shi.
When Ao Langtian didn’t respond immediately, He Feng took over the conversation.
He said in a deep voice, "Tie Shi, do you really think our Cloud Peak Alliance has no one?"
Hearing this, Tie Shi burst into laughter.
"He Feng, stop boasting. My junior brother’s last message said that the Daluo Sect seems to be quite close to the Demon Alliance.
I wonder if this is an issue with just the Daluo Sect or if your Cloud Peak Alliance is getting involved in this kind of stuff?"
Hearing Tie Shi’s words, Ao Langtian’s brow twitched sharply, yet he showed no expression.
He just snorted coldly, "I didn’t expect you, Tie Shi, to resort to sowing discord."
"Ha ha!"
Tie Shi let out a wild laugh and said no more. He just flew off towards the direction of the Celestial Extreme Alliance cultivators.
Witnessing this, the expressions on the Cloud Peak Alliance side became complicated.
He Feng showed no expression, while the expressions of Ao Langtian and the others became somewhat unnatural.
As for the other cultivators, some were suspicious, some were puzzled, varying expressions covered their faces.
At this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
He hadn’t expected that a small scheme of his to spark a conflict would have such an effect.
If nothing unexpected happened, Yuan Zhuo and Jia Yumin should have already told He Feng about what I mentioned.
Previously, this Golden Core Late Stage cultivator from the Guiyuan Sect might not have fully believed it, but after what Tie Shi said, He Feng likely has no doubts now.
Perhaps also sensing something amiss, after Tie Shi flew away, Ao Langtian tightly furrowed his brow, then turned to He Feng:
"Brother He, this Tie Shi certainly hopes for our Cloud Peak Alliance and the Demon Alliance to have a conflict, allowing their Celestial Extreme Alliance to reap the benefits.
That’s why he says these divisive words, with ill intentions indeed."
After Ao Langtian finished speaking, He Feng nodded and added meaningfully:
"Indeed, ill intentions indeed!"
For a moment, everyone at the scene fell silent.
Chu Ning and Yuan Zhuo exchanged a glance and both felt a sense of relief.
If He Feng is wary of the Daluo Sect, no matter what scheme they have, it will be easier to handle.
At this time, more Golden Core cultivators arrived one after another.
To Chu Ning and Yuan Zhuo’s delight, it wasn’t long before another Golden Core cultivator from their sect, Roger, arrived.
All three members of the Jiuhua Sect safely reached the core area.
However, not everyone was as fortunate.
As time passed, fewer cultivators arrived, and among the sixty Golden Core cultivators from the Cloud Peak Alliance, only twenty-seven arrived.
Not even half.
This caused an involuntary heaviness in the hearts of those present.
Looking around, the Celestial Extreme Alliance still had the most people, with over forty members.
Although the Demon Alliance was second in number, they also had nearly forty members.
They were the only ones among the three alliances with more than half of their members present.
At this point, the Celestial Extreme Alliance seemed to realize that as time went on, the numbers were unfavorable to them.
The Tie Shi, who had left a deep impression on Chu Ning, now flew up from among the Celestial Extreme Alliance cultivators.
Soon, his thunderous voice echoed over the entire lake surface.
