Chapter 6, Chu Fengchen

Speaking, I found a slightly flat area and sat down directly. This position happened to allow me to see the entire view of the ruins, but currently, the clouds are obscuring it, and I can only see a part of it for the time being

These three cultivators, not knowing which sect they belong to, foolishly follow such a person. Xiong Er finds it amusing, and they will realize who Chu Fengchen is once they suffer a loss

Certainly, if they are able to survive, according to Xiong Er's estimation, these three individuals are already dead

"Let's go, shall we go down and take a look? Perhaps we can just barge in!" said Xiong Er, a bit impatiently, as he felt that Ye Shijin was wasting time.

Nan Baijiao chuckled, as if teasing Xiong Er, becoming her source of amusement in moments of boredom

Ye Shijin, however, was unwilling to leave and said softly, "The scenery here is quite nice, so let us enjoy the view for a while"

Where, where... Senior, you are being too modest...

Xiong Er finally understood why Ye Shijin was not in a hurry at all; it turned out that this factor existed.

Chu Fengchen did not pursue Xiong Er, as he knew that even if he caught up, he would have no way to deal with him, and he would also lose three expendable pawns. He would not engage in such foolishness, so he chose to explain at the first opportunity, prioritizing stabilizing the three individuals before anything else

"Senior Brother Chen, this great formation's light shield... seems quite formidable. How can we get inside?"

Ye Shijin's eyes revealed a hint of seriousness; he was well-versed in forbidden formations and could recognize at a glance that the large array below remained intact

Chu Fengchen smiled slightly and said, "This great formation will soon weaken, the light shield cannot hold for long... Look, this great formation has directly flattened the original mountains, which means it has consumed at least half of its energy. We just need to wait patiently until the formation weakens before we go in."

What I see is not beauty... but a sharp killing intent

Chu Fengchen has a handsome appearance and is quite popular in the cultivation world. However, this individual has two faces, being insidious and malicious at heart, while appearing warm and generous in front of others. Those who are not familiar with him often find themselves deceived and caught in a web of confusion.

There are a total of four individuals, with Chu Fengchen clearly being the commander. The other three are also notable experts in the cultivation world. Although they do not reach the level of Xiong Er and the others, their strength is not to be underestimated. It is evident that these three were deceived by Chu Fengchen. The reason Xiong Er, being a rough character, is able to see through this is that he has suffered losses before.

Nan Baijiao, being quite clever, understood that Ye Shijin wanted to observe the relic formation, so she playfully said: "Hehe, I will take a break as well. Second brother, if you want to go, you may go first!"

Xiong Er flew back to the summit of Gagong Snow Peak, and he was regretful to find that Chu Fengchen had not caught up. He believed that as long as Chu Fengchen caught up, with a little encouragement from himself, and when the time came for Master Jin to take action, they would definitely be able to severely injure Chu Fengchen.

Xiong Er let out a cold laugh

Nan Baijiao murmured to herself: "Is this the ancient Chaoxian Sect? Truly remarkable! So beautiful!"

Xiong Er stealthily landed on a branch of a towering ancient tree, peering through the gaps in the branches at several cultivators who had come to investigate.

Chu Fengchen had a hard time persuading three expendable individuals to join him, but with a single remark from Xiong Er, their facade was completely shattered. The eyes of the three were filled with disbelief, and they began to harbor a sense of fear towards Chu Fengchen

In a moment, Xiong Er saw those several black dots descend, right at the edge of the restrictive formation, where the layer of red light was even more intense nearby

The leading cultivator, Xiong Er, recognized him, but this person was Xiong Er's enemy: "So it's Chu Fengchen! This bastard has come too..." He muttered to himself, pondering how he could trick this guy.

Haha, do not be nervous. I am indeed Chu Fengchen. It is just that upon meeting the three of you, I felt a strong affinity, which is why we are walking together. I also worry that you three might feel constrained, so I have suppressed my cultivation. You won't hold it against your elder brother, will you

Continuing to deceive with another remark, the eyes of the three individuals sparkled, as their inner greed was gradually enticed out.

Suddenly, he saw several black dots flying in the distance; those were cultivators approaching, and he could not help but stand up.

Xiong Er was feeling extremely bored, his large head swaying left and right. He was extremely impatient inside, yet he could not urge anyone, which made him feel quite suffocated

Thank you, Brother Chu

Indeed, indeed, we will follow the guidance of our senior brother

Ye Shijin was completely oblivious to the bickering between the two, his full attention focused on the ruins. Due to the obstruction of the clouds, he could only see parts of it through the gaps, and only when the clouds shifted could he glimpse new areas.

The speed of the moving clouds is not fast, so Ye Shijin must wait. During this time, he has been silently discerning and quietly memorizing.

Brother, I will listen to you

The three cultivators looked at Chu Fengchen with great admiration, which made him feel very good. He smiled and said: "We can wait here; it won't take long, at most just a few days, and the great formation will show some signs of loosening... At that time, we will be among the first to enter, and we might gain quite a few benefits. Having the initiative always brings advantages, haha!"

Chu Fengchen shouted, "Who, who is spying!"

The three of them were unaware of Chu Fengchen's character. Upon seeing an elder willing to engage with everyone in this manner, they felt a mix of emotions—some were touched, others were excited—but none of them had the awareness of being deceived

Xiong Er's massive body suddenly soared into the air, laughing loudly: "Chu Fengchen! You are deceiving again, haha, it's your grandpa Xiong... haha, hahaha! If you have the ability, come chase me!" He transformed into a gust of wind and flew away into the distance

Chu Fengchen felt a weight lift from his heart, finally having found a scapegoat to use

Xiong Er lacks this level of awareness, while Nan Baijiao is slightly better; her understanding of formations is just a bit higher than Xiong Er's. However, her sensitivity to traps is extremely high. Upon hearing this, she observes slightly and her expression also turns cold: "Indeed, it is perilous"

Senior brother

Within the grand formation, countless smaller restrictive formations are layered upon one another, many of which are rare killing arrays, filled with various traps and dangers. What is most terrifying is that all of this is in an activated state

Chu Fengchen said sincerely, instantly leaving the three in a state of confusion. They were well aware of who Chu Fengchen was, one of the five top experts in the cultivation world, and yet he was calling them brothers. They felt an overwhelming sense of joy in their hearts

He has always preferred to grasp the situation, so his task requires not only a clear understanding of the various restrictive formations but also a thorough comprehension of the terrain and topography. Once he enters the ruins, it is impossible to see the entire layout, and he must also identify key locations to determine his route of advancement

Chu Fengchen's strength is comparable to that of Xiong Er, and the two are arch-enemies. Whenever they encounter each other, a fight is inevitable. However, due to their similar levels of strength, their battles often end in a draw, with both sides sustaining injuries. Therefore, Xiong Er does not directly jump into the fray, as fighting would be futile, especially since the opponent has allies.

Xiong Er was deceived by him, but Xiong Er was exceptionally strong and, upon realizing he had been tricked, immediately confronted him. The two engaged in a fierce battle, resulting in both suffering severe injuries and ultimately becoming mortal enemies

Xiong Er! You scoundrel!

The expressions of the three cultivators suddenly changed; they had never seen Chu Fengchen or Xiong Er, yet they were aware that these two individuals were top masters in the realm of cultivation

Although Xiong Er is crude and boorish, he is not foolish; he hides to the side, secretly observing and looking for an opportunity to undermine his opponent

Looking at Ye Shijin, who is still lost in thought, and then at Nan Baijiao, who is meditating with her eyes closed, Xiong Er still could not hold back. He leaped from the top of the mountain and, halfway down, suddenly took flight.

Chu Fengchen was instantly overjoyed, his face beaming with a smile as he said, "Haha, hahaha, this is my good brother! From now on, just call me big brother, I recognize you as my brothers!" Yet, in his heart, he harbored intense hatred for Xiong Er, that bastard, who almost ruined my good fortune!

Before me lay a complete relic stretching several thousand meters, enveloped by a massive crimson light shield. No wonder the sky here is also red; the clouds in the sky are illuminated by the red glow, resembling the afterglow of sunset, resplendent and colorful

In an instant, Xiong Er understood that this fellow had actually used the last character of his name, which sounds the same as 'Chen', to create a pseudonym. Moreover, this bastard had actually lowered his cultivation level by one rank.

Do not call me senior, call me brother, or call me big brother

Even someone as rough as Xiong Er couldn't help but exclaim: "How magnificent! Damn... it's beautiful!"

Do not be deceived by Xiong Er's robust and sturdy physique; in the air, he is as light and agile as a yellow bunting, instantly soaring down into the forest below, then dashing towards the direction of his memory

Elder brother

Two layers of mist, one above the mountain peak and the other at the waist of the mountain, with the lower layer of clouds being sparse, allowing a glimpse of a portion of the light cover through the clouds

Nan Baijiao closed her eyes to regulate her breathing

A phrase about the second child almost made Xiong Er roar, but upon seeing Ye Shijin lost in thought in front of the ruins, he dared not shout recklessly and huffed, "Who is the second child? Who is the second child... You are the second child... Is it so difficult to call me Old Bear?"

Xiong Er is still puzzled, has this rascal changed his name? Isn't his surname Chu?

We will wait here, and I believe that we will soon be able to enter the ruins. If we can find the treasures of the ruins at that time, we will be rich! Haha!
