Chapter 689: Chapter 699: People from the Past
Chu Feng’s words were essentially an outright statement: if Si Huang wanted the Healing Elixirs, she would have to pay for them herself.
At this point, even if Si Huang continued to feign aloofness, she could no longer maintain the facade.
Her silver teeth clenched quietly, listening to the howling of the Wolf Demons close behind her.
If she couldn’t quickly control her injuries, even as a Supreme Sword God, she might very well perish.
"Damn it!"
Si Huang could not help but curse inwardly, but still gently lifted her hand to grasp the Healing Elixir.
Whoosh!
A low-grade spirit stone flew towards Chu Feng as if it had eyes.
"No need for change!"
Si Huang, ever so proud, accepted Chu Feng’s elixir, which was embarrassing enough for her.
When it came time to pay, she naturally acted generously.
"Quite generous, then I won’t be polite!" Chu Feng caught the spirit stone with his hand, showing a joyful smile on his face. Looking at Si Huang, his eyes were somewhat teasing.
This was only the beginning.
He believed that once they entered the Gate of Hell, there would still be times when she needed Chu Feng’s help.
After taking Chu Feng’s Healing Elixir, as the medicine’s effect spread, a slight marvelous sheen appeared in her Phoenix Eyes, and an expression of surprise also appeared on her face.
Clearly, the effect of Chu Feng’s Healing Elixir immensely shocked her.
"Heh!"
Dongxue saw her mistress’s expression clearly and couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Si Huang fiercely glared at her, startling Dongxue to stick out her tongue and forcefully suppress her smile.
The other Sword Slaves all had strange expressions on their faces.
But due to Si Huang’s authority, none dared to show it openly or discuss it.
They had never seen their mistress bow down before.
This time, to be subdued by a mere Sword Saint like Chu Feng was unexpected.
The many experts of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect fled in a flurried escape, in the utmost disarray.
They had cursed Han Sheng and Lu Kuixi in their hearts countless times. If it weren’t for those two questioning Chu Feng’s detecting abilities, they wouldn’t have caused so many to be injured.
Some even lost their lives.
During this terrifying chase from the Wolf Demon, the group from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect couldn’t dare to rest.
Even slightly reducing their flying speed was unthinkable.
Chu Feng remained resilient and stout, didn’t ask for anyone’s help. With just his solo effort, he completed an unprecedented flying feat.
He flew straight for six days and six nights without stopping, truly a miracle.
Among the world, there are countless Sword Saint Level experts. But to be as formidable as him, only a handful could be counted.
He also used his strength to slap the faces of Han Sheng and the others sharply. Those who mocked and looked down on him ended up shooting themselves in the foot.
"Look quickly, Treasure Light, Qingyun, we have already reached our destination!" an expert from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect shouted excitedly, pointing at the dazzling column of light in the sky ahead.
Even the Second Tribulation Demon chasing them was left behind in their thoughts.
Chu Feng looked up into the distance, seeing a tremendously spectacular pillar of light about a hundred miles away shooting straight into the sky.
Above the pillar, there was also a Qingyun, within which a silhouette of a Treasure Tree was emerging.
At this moment, the light from the pillar was dimming bit by bit, yet the silhouette of the Treasure Tree inside the Qingyun was becoming even clearer, as if reflected by a mirror.
Such a spectacle is extremely rare.
"The treasure tree has not yet been taken, let’s speed up!"
Along the way, Si Huang consumed spirit stones at any cost while healing, swiftly restoring the Sword Essence within her body.
Stimulated by the treasure, everyone’s spirits were greatly lifted, and their speed increased once again.
The Wolf Demon pursuing them from behind, on the other hand, slowed down.
It likely sensed a large number of human powerhouses ahead and worried about walking into an ambush and being killed, hence it became particularly cautious.
Beast-kind are naturally very vigilant, constantly facing various dangers.
Those that survive are without exception the elite.
Although the Wolf Demon is powerful, it is not arrogant. To risk its life to hunt these humans who intruded into its territory is simply not worth it.
Finally, Chu Feng and others successfully reached the valley where the Gate of Hell was located.
The scene was almost the same as what they had seen years ago.
As soon as they approached this seemingly bottomless valley, the area felt exceptionally cold and piercing. Deep in the valley, clusters of green ghost fire could be seen flickering.
This is phosphorus flame.
It is said that this Hell Valley is extremely sinister, with countless beasts entering the valley to commit suicide every year.
Even many humans would lose their way when they approach Hell Valley at night.
And then bizarrely enter the valley, dying an untimely death.
Indeed, with a large number of bodies accumulating at the bottom of the valley and decaying, producing a large amount of spontaneously combustible gases, the phosphorus fire in the valley never extinguishes throughout the year.
At this moment, a large number of experts from various powers had already gathered here.
However, because the Demon Sea Fierce Land is remote, it only borders the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country and the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.
Thus, the experts who have the capability to come to the Gate of Hell for treasure mostly belong to these two heavenly countries. People from the other two heavenly countries will not come.
"There are quite a lot of people here!"
Elder Zi Xu squinted his eyes, quietly sizing up the experts from other forces.
"Chu Feng, come over here!" Elder Zi Xu called out to Chu Feng. He had lived for thousands of years and was very familiar with the powerhouses of the Divine Martial Continent.
Although Chu Feng is the reincarnation of the Eternal Life Pill Master and had also lived for over a thousand years,
Chu Feng’s activities were mostly confined to Dan State, and he was not very familiar with the situation and figures of the Divine Martial Continent.
Elder Zi Xu was preparing to give Chu Feng some advice, to let him also understand the experts from other forces.
"Those people over there are from the Liehuo Sect, one of the two big Sects in the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country along with our Ten Thousand Sword Sect. The relationship between the Liehuo Sect and our Sect is neither good nor bad. When you encounter people from this Sect in the future, try to be somewhat considerate."
With this explanation, Chu Feng understood.
The Liehuo Sect and the Ten Thousand Sword Sect are allied. They jointly guard the territory of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country and do not interfere with each other.
They try to unite when facing external enemies.
"The Fiery Flame Sword Technique of the Liehuo Sect is extremely famous. If you are struck by it, you can easily be killed instantly, so be especially careful." Elder Zi Xu’s tone was particularly serious when he said this.
Chu Feng nodded, indicating that he remembered.
"Over there are the experts from the Alchemy Sword Sect of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom. This Sect must not be too strange to you; it was formed by merging a top-tier Elixir force and a top-tier Sword Sect. In terms of strength, it is even stronger than the Dragon Slayer Sect."
Elder Zi Xu pointed to another group of people.
Chu Feng looked up and immediately revealed a strange expression on his face.
In his previous life as the Eternal Life Pill Master, he had come to the Divine Martial Continent several times to participate in the Alchemy Conferences.
The Alchemy Sword Sect had also sent Alchemy Dao experts to participate.
At this moment, there was a familiar face among the opposing ranks. This person was an Alchemy Venerate Level old monster, who unfortunately lost to Chu Feng several times.
