Chapter 704: Chapter 714: Must Not Offend


If they were outside of the valley, any of the Sword Gods present could easily reach the blood-colored boulder in the center of the Magma Lake.


They would merely need to fly over.


But at this moment, unable to fly, they can only sigh in resignation as they gaze upon the lake.


No one dares to enter the Magma Lake for now.


"That shouldn’t be the case. Although the Ghost Fire in Hell Valley is formidable, there are at least two among those present who are immune. There is no need to mention Azure Flame Pill Master with his Abnormal Fire – would he truly fear Ghost Fire?"


"Hu Yanhao’s Crimson Dragon also has a strong immunity to flames. It could easily carry Hu Yanhao to the center of the lake."


Chu Feng felt quite puzzled as these experts one by one displayed grave expressions, indicating their fear.


They seemed to harbor a great dread of entering the lake.


"Si Huang, you’ve arrived at a good time. We are all allies of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. Formulating a strategy together to seize the Treasure Tree would be the best course of action." A rough-looking young man casually waved at Si Huang and called out.


Without guessing, it was evident that this man was from the Liehuo Sect.


His attire was enough to reveal his identity.


Chu Feng secretly sized up this rough-looking young man, noting that he had large hands and feet, a neck twice the usual thickness, but a somewhat normal height.


The formidable aura he emitted was like an invisible mountain, standing there.


"Undoubtedly a Supreme Sword God Level expert!" Chu Feng was certain that this youth was a powerhouse of the Supreme Sword God Level.


For some reason, from the first glance, Chu Feng felt a bit of discomfort upon seeing this man.


Perhaps it was the man’s airs of superiority and disdainful tone, resembling an Emperor, which provoked annoyance.


"Chi Tianjing, let me make it clear beforehand. I don’t mind collaborating to seize the treasure. But the ugly words come first—if someone snatches it, it belongs to them. To expect me, of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, to share equally with you is absolutely unthinkable."


The voice of Si Huang was very cold.


"What does the Princess think?" Chi Tianjing raised his eyes to look at a beautifully dressed woman not far away.


The woman exuded a regal stature and prestige unique to the Royal Family, with sharp phoenix brows and commanding eyes. One would not dare to look directly at her, overawed by a sense of fear.


Ten guards with swords followed her.


Each appeared incredibly indifferent, all wearing Magical Treasure Level boots on their feet.


And they were all of the same style.


It should be noted that Magical Treasure boots are extremely rare.


For an ordinary force to procure ten pairs of Magical Treasure Level boots would already challenge their financial resources, not to mention ten identical pairs.


Not only that, the swords and armor of the guards all glittered with red light.


Runes flashed faintly, as Treasure Light circulated.


All ten guards wore Magical Treasure armor and held Heavenly Divine Weapons in their hands.


Chu Feng could only dream of forging such an elite squad.


But it was too difficult.


Not only would one have to recruit Nine-star Sword God level experts, but a set of Magical Treasure equipment would also be necessary. He didn’t even have a complete set of Magical Treasures for himself at the moment, let alone outfitting his subordinates.


Yet someone had actually accomplished this feat.


The strength of these guards was all at the Nine-star Sword God Level.


The Princess herself possessed a frighteningly high level of cultivation. She boasted the Sword God Cultivation of a Supreme Sword God.


She represented the Imperial Family of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country.


"Liehuo Sect, Ten Thousand Sword Sect, both are Sects within the borders of our Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. Better to keep the benefits within our own fields than to let others reap them – any of us acquiring it is better than those from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom!"


The Princess glanced at Si Huang and Chi Tianjing, agreeing that the three parties should devise a plan together to cross the Magma Lake.


"If it were just magma and ghost fires, it shouldn’t be too difficult for you, right? Could there be other dangers within this Magma Lake?" Chu Feng asked curiously.


Since the three parties had reached an alliance agreement, they should share all information.


The Princess and the others had arrived earlier and should have already attempted to cross the lake.


"When did it become your turn to interject, you Little Sword Saint, while the three of us leaders are discussing strategies?"


Chi Jingtian’s thick brows furrowed, and he gave Chu Feng a hostile glance.


Si Huang, this is your man; it should be up to you to discipline him. I’ll not interfere. If someone from my Liehuo Sect is this ill-bred, lacking any sense of hierarchy, I would slap them straightaway, send them flying with a slap," said Alchemy Venerate Dongxue, people couldn’t help but look at Chu Feng with an odd smile on their faces.


She teased with a smile, "Chu Feng, you’re quite popular, aren’t you? Everywhere you go, someone wants to teach you a lesson!"


"Indeed very popular!" Chu Feng shrugged.


Si Huang also found Chi Jingtian’s words peculiar, and her pretty face showed a hint of mockery, "Fine, then you teach him a lesson for me! Save me the trouble next time he disrespects me." Si Huang still felt irritated every time she remembered being publicly embarrassed by Chu Feng back in the Chuan Gong Hall.


Chi Jingtian, being hot-tempered, sneered and was about to slap Chu Feng.


Just at that moment, a master from the Liehuo Sect successfully crossed the territory of the Hell Corpse Leeches.


He hastily advised, "Junior Brother Chi, don’t be impulsive, this person must not be provoked!"


"Hmph, does he have some formidable background or what?" Chi Jingtian was a lawless character, used to acting arrogantly within the Liehuo Sect.


He simply didn’t believe it.


Princess had been full of dignity and had not even bothered to spare Chu Feng, a minor figure, a glance.


But at this moment, she too couldn’t help but quietly observe how things unfolded.


She was also curious as to why Chu Feng shouldn’t be provoked.


Wasn’t he just a minor figure at the late stage of Sword Saint? With Chi Tianjing’s strength, slapping him should be a trivial matter.


The Liehuo Sect master became anxious.


With a flash, he positioned himself in front of Chi Jingtian and said seriously, "Junior Brother Chi, you are uninformed. This young man is named Chu Feng, and although he is only at the late stage of Sword Saint cultivation, his strength is exceptionally abnormal. He has already slaughtered two Nine-star Sword Gods from the Dragon Slayer Sect, several Four and Five Star Sword Gods, and Hu Yanhao has also been severely injured by him."


"What?"


This time, Chi Jingtian was truly startled.


He subconsciously turned his head to look at Hu Yanhao, not far away, riding the Crimson Dragon.


"Hu Yanhao, were you really injured by him?" Chi Tianjing obviously had trouble believing it.


That sounded too far-fetched.


To say that Chu Feng had killed two Nine-star Sword Gods was already shocking enough. But to have seriously injured a master of the Supreme Sword God Level, it was no longer simply abnormal but defying the heavens.


The Princess’s bright eyes also stealthily swept toward Chu Feng.


This news was too explosive; if it were true, she would have to change her arrogant attitude towards Chu Feng and even take the initiative to form a good relationship with him.


As a member of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country’s Royal Family, everyone had a sense of the bigger picture and the need to secure a distant future.


When encountering formidable talents, they must think of ways to draw them in.


Chu Feng’s face was indifferent, giving nothing away.


The Princess couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart; she had seen countless people and had already sensed something extraordinary in Chu Feng through subtle clues.


Instinctively, she turned her head to look at Hu Yanhao.


And when she saw Hu Yanhao with a gloomy face, his expression filled with both hatred and fear when looking at Chu Feng, she understood everything – Hu Yanhao had indeed been defeated by Chu Feng.
