Chapter 1611
Chapter 1611 (Raw 1593): Amid Danger
The Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's new talent, the Ice-Snow Sword, had been killed, and the Burning Moon Sect's new talent, Yan Xin, was in an even more miserable situation.
With just one look, Yan Xin had been frightened into crawling to escape, losing all dignity. He lost face not only for himself but also for the entire Burning Moon Sect.
Yan Xin probably knew that if he returned his sect, only punishment awaited him, so he had chosen to disappear. Right now, no one knew where he was.
A new talent of a sect meant that the sect had successors. When they traveled the world, they were the face of the sect.
Nevertheless, Xiao Chen had killed one new talent and caused another to flee, destroying the reputation of two Rank 2 sects.
Xiao Chen alone slapped the faces of two Rank 2 sects.
No matter which sect it was, it would not be able to accept such treatment. Furthermore, the Rank 2 sects were overlord-like existences in the Purple Sun Region.
However, due to the sects' immense size and many convoluted, overelaborate rules, both sects took some discussion to decide to send people over to deal with this. Who to send? Who had the time? Who was willing? Who was suitable?
How strong should the people they send be? This matter was very important. Naturally, they had to discuss it cautiously.
As for the Temple Ghost Sect, they did not have that many concerns. They could come when they wanted. Hence, they arrived before the two sects.
Although the experts of the two sects had not arrived previously, they had people secretly monitoring Xiao Chen's movements.
Once the decision was made, the efficiency of a large sect manifested. The people of the Burning Moon Sect and the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor rushed over, arriving at nearly the same time.
The Ice-Snow Mountain Manor and the Burning Moon Sect each sent a hundred people. The leaders were Major Primal Core cultivators. The hundred disciples had cultivations at the Yang Essence Stage at the very least.
It was clear that all those who came were elites and experts. The two sects were truly angered.
Major Primal Core cultivators would absolutely be considered peak experts in the Purple Sun Region. There were not that many Major Primal Core cultivators even in Purple Sun City.
"Han Feng, unexpectedly, you personally came," Bai Xu, the leader of the Burning Moon Sect's group, said calmly as he looked at the other party.
The Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's Han Feng said coldly, "I had only that one disciple. I hoped that he would be able to surpass me and become famous. How could I not come after someone killed him?"
[TL Note: This Han Feng is different from the one first appearing in Chapter 1210. The characters of the two names are different but have the same pronunciation.]
It turned out that these two were the masters of the sects' new talents. Even in their respective sects, they also ranked highly and were very strong.
"Although our sects normally have some disputes with each other, how about we work together today to kill this White Robed Xiao Chen? What do you think?" the Burning Moon Sect's Bai Xu suggested to Han Feng.
If it were in the past and someone heard that these two sects would work together to deal with one person, after gathering one hundred people each, people would think that it was impossible. How could there be a person who could make two Rank 2 sects so cautious?
However, now that the crowd knew that the two sects were dealing with Xiao Chen, no one was surprised.
This was especially so since the Third Sect Master and Second Sect Master of the Temple Ghost Sect, as well as a large number of their members, died at Xiao Chen's hands inside Idle Cloud Restaurant not long ago.
The many facts told the crowd that Xiao Chen was very impressive.
"Sure."
Han Feng's gaze flickered for a moment as he agreed to the Burning Moon Sect's Bai Xu's proposal. Actually, Han Feng disapproved of cooperating with him from the bottom of his heart.
It would truly be a great shame if he needed to work with others to deal with one Yin Essence Stage brat.
However, with the current situation, Han Feng had no choice but to work with Bai Xu. It was better to be careful and cautious.
Otherwise, if they met with unexpected failure, they would become a rather big joke.
"Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!"
Rapid hoofbeats rang out again. The crowd parted, allowing the Temple Ghost Sect's First Sect Master, Sect Master Xue, to lead people over.
Sect Master Xue was enraged, killing intent radiating from his body. His heart contained an indescribable sadness.
He truly had not expected a Yin Essence Stage fellow to take out most of his Temple Ghost Sect.
Black Tiger's death could have been explained as him underestimating his enemy. However, after Xiao Chen killed the Second Sect Master and his group, it had to be said that Xiao Chen was strong.
"Han Feng? Bai Xu?"
The startled Sect Master Xue quickly pulled on the reins and withdrew his killing intent. Then, he went up to the front and said, "Greetings, Elders."
The three's strengths were similar to each other, all of them early-stage Major Primal Core cultivators. However, their statuses differed greatly.
No matter how strong the Temple Ghost Sect was among the gangs outside the city or how well it did, it was inferior to a Rank 2 sect. Without any inheritance or accumulations, it was just a group of bandits.
Han Feng and Bai Xu did not show much respect for Sect Master Xue. Bai Xu said, "I heard that your Temple Ghost Sect just lost two Sect Masters and more than a hundred members."
"Truly a gathering of rabble. Even with more than one hundred people, you still have not seen his face," the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor's Han Feng mocked directly; he was even more arrogant than Bai Xu.
Sect Master Xue instantly became enraged. He said, "No matter how huge the losses of my Temple Ghost Sect are, they can't be compared to your two sects'. One had their new talent killed, and the other new talent was worse, frightened until he became like a tortoise, crawling away in order to live."
"You must be tired of living!" Han Feng shouted coldly. Immediately, a cold, icy wind started howling.
The ambient temperature plummeted, chilling everyone.
Snowflakes fell and a frosty wind blew. The flying snowflakes spun around like sharp knives.
What strength!
The people watching from a distance moved further back hastily. Who could have imagined that Han Feng could easily bring out such a strong will of ice with one thought?
This will was already very close to becoming a Domain.
Furthermore, as a Major Primal Core cultivator, Han Feng's Veritable Essence Energy had undergone many rounds of improvement and compaction. Since those snowflakes contained his Veritable Essence Energy, it was no wonder they put such enormous pressure on others.
In mere moments, a thick layer of snow covered the ground.
The vastness of Han Feng's Veritable Essence Energy was clear to see.
"Humph! Do you think that this old man is afraid?!"
Unwilling to appear weak, Sect Master Xue released a scarlet light mixed with a strong baleful aura, clashing with the boundless snowflakes.
"Enough!"
Seeing that the two were about to start a huge fight, the Burning Moon Sect's Bai Xu quickly made a move. A heatwave swept over the ground and immediately melted everything.
Bai Xu's forcible suppression of the two's wills made them cautious.
Sect Master Xue snorted coldly. "My Temple Ghost Sect might not be some glorious group, but we will not permit others to humiliate us. Don't think that we are easy to bully. In the worst case, I'll just run to another astral region, and your Ice-Snow Mountain Manor will not be able to do anything to me."
Seeing that Han Feng was about to start a fight again, Bai Xu quickly said, "Hang on. We are here to deal with Xiao Chen. Don't let the people in Idle Cloud Restaurant see us make a joke of ourselves.
Inside Idle Cloud Restaurant, Luo Nan, Fei`er, and Xiao Suo all felt a huge pressure.
The commotion seemed to be getting increasingly larger. Not to mention the Temple Ghost Sect, two of the Rank 2 sects actually charged over as well.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, should we leave first?" Fei`er suggested in a whisper.
Xiao Suo shook his head and said, "It is too late to leave. They already surrounded the restaurant. There is no way to leave."
Xiao Chen sized up the situation outside with his Spiritual Sense and released his bated breath.
Clearly, Rank 2 sects had late-stage Major Primal Core experts. However, there were too few such cultivators. Furthermore, the time of such people was very precious. They would not come out of the sect for one Xiao Chen.
More importantly, these people needed to protect their sects and could not leave easily.
The ones who came were only early-stage Major Primal Core cultivators. With just three early-stage Major Primal Core cultivators, the pressure on the Jiao Snake was significantly less. The situation was still manageable, and there was no need to panic for now.
This was more or less in line with Xiao Chen's expectations. The late-stage Primal Core cultivators, the peak experts of the Rank 2 sects, would definitely not come.
As for the Cloud Sea Realm Supreme Elder, just one dead new talent was not important enough to hand over the matter to the venerable.
Xiao Chen communicated with the Jiao Snake for a while before saying to the group, "I'm around; there's no need to panic. Just listen to what I say."
Fei`er said, "I'm not panicking. Senior Brother and I are just worried about implicating you."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he laughed loudly, "Why are you talking about implicating me? All of us experienced hardship together. If we are pushed into a dead-end, we either live or die together. If we kill one, it will be worth it. If we kill two, we will make a profit."
Xiao Chen let out a flash of brilliance from his eyes. A hot-bloodedness burned in his bones as he said, "That's right. Live and die together!"
Outside Idle Cloud Restaurant, the men of the three factions were already setting up a tight encirclement.
In a while, the restaurant became like a lone building on the large street.
The people in the distance all worried for Xiao Chen's group in Idle Cloud Restaurant. With two Rank 2 sects working together, Xiao Chen no longer stood a chance.
Right now, with Bai Xu's mediation, Sect Master Xue and Han Feng came to a common understanding and cooperated.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The three soared into the air and released the strong aura of a Major Primal Core expert, encasing the entire Idle Cloud Restaurant.
"Rumble…!" The ground shook. Idle Cloud Restaurant shuddered as if three mountains pressed down on it.
The actions of the three experts startled everyone. They were preparing to use the most straightforward and violent method.
They wanted to destroy the building along with Xiao Chen.
No matter what means Xiao Chen had, these people directly used their cultivations to apply pressure with brute force. There was no need to enter Idle Cloud Restaurant at all.
