Chapter 6037: Those Scaredy-cats

“Damn it, we should have stopped them earlier! They left with all the benefits, whereas we got nothing at all despite having obtained a bunch of powerful tokens. Everything would have been in vain if the tokens lost their effects after we left this place!” a Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s junior grumbled in indignation.

He wasn’t the only one feeling that way.

Their tokens were much stronger than the ones obtained by the Redsoul Sect’s young master and the others. They could have easily crushed the Ancient Era’s team even without Chu Feng’s help. Yet, they could only watch helplessly as they left.

“Shut up!” Qin Xuan roared. “What are you complaining about? You would have never obtained the token or the energy inside it if not for Brother Chu Feng!”

“Young master, I don’t mean to blame young hero Chu Feng. I just… Haaa!”

That junior had no idea how he should explain himself, but Qin Xuan understood where he was coming from as he felt the same way.

So, Qin Xuan turned to Chu Feng and asked, “Brother Chu Feng, can you tell us now why we shouldn’t snatch their powers?”

“I mentioned earlier that everything looked weirdly ambiguous. I was initially confused, but it quickly made sense to me when the birds appeared. The powers pulsating from the birds are identical to the pulsations from the spirit formation gates,” Chu Feng replied.

“Brother Chu Feng, what does that mean?”

“In gist, they gained nothing from the earlier fight. All they managed to achieve was squandering the energies inside their tokens.”

“Brother Chu Feng, you’re saying that the powers obtained from those birds are useless? They are bait to lure us into squandering the token’s energies?” Qin Xuan asked.

“That’s right.” Chu Feng nodded.

The faces of the crowd lit up. If Chu Feng was right, the Redsoul Sect’s young master had made a huge loss.

“Brother Chu Feng, the spirit formation gate has closed. It doesn’t look like we’ll be able to enter for the time being,” Yuwen Yanri said.

The crowd looked over and saw that the spirit formation gate had indeed closed. That made them panic once more.

“Don’t worry, it’s just temporarily closed. It’ll open again very soon,” Chu Feng replied.

…

Meanwhile, on Jie Tianran and the other present-era cultivators’ side, the spirit formation gate on their dueling ring suddenly whirred into action.

A surge of teleportation energy enveloped the dueling ring and teleported all the present-era cultivators to one side. At the same time, a translucent barrier stretched across the center of the dueling ring, dividing its area into two.

People started pouring out from the spirit formation gate into the other side of the dueling ring. When the last person emerged, the older generation cultivators finally understood the meaning behind the number.

There was no secret behind it. It just meant the number of people.

The number of people emerging from the spirit formation gate tallied with the number above the spirit formation gate.

…

“Aren’t those people juniors? Why are they appearing there?”

A huge commotion broke out among the crowd outside God’s Era.

Most people turned their eyes to the Redsoul Sect’s young master, who was holding a flag bearing the words ‘Ancient Era’. The flag was imbued in a red aura reminiscent of flame or blood.

The juniors looked confused, including the Redsoul Sect’s young master.

He surveyed his surroundings with confused eyes, but he soon found a familiar face and rushed over. “Grandfather!”

However, he found himself trapped by the dueling ring’s barrier. Confused, he asked, “Grandfather, what’s going on? How did you all get here? Is this real, or is this an illusion?”

“This is real. Where did you get that flag from?” the Redsoul Sect’s sectmaster asked.

“Ah, I got this from the previous realm. A lot of juniors were gathered in the previous realm; there weren’t only Ancient Era’s juniors but present-era cowards too.

“While we were trying to figure out what was going on, two flags suddenly appeared. One contained the words,’ Present Era’, and the other, ‘Ancient Era’. The Present Era flag went to a coward named Chu Feng, and I received the Ancient Era flag.

“These people had to either choose between me and Chu Feng or give up on the trial. The present-era juniors might be cowards, but they have good judgment. Most chose to follow me. Only three hundred of them followed Chu Feng.”

The Redsoul Sect’s young master gleefully shared what happened with his grandfather.

“Three hundred people?”

The crowd instinctively glanced at the number above the Ancient Era dueling ring’s spirit formation gate. It was obvious what that number corresponded to.

“Haha, as expected of my good grandson!” the Redsoul Sect’s sectmaster said in glee.

The present-era cultivators’ faces darkened. It would be embarrassing for them if the Redsoul Sect’s young master was telling the truth. How could present-era juniors choose to follow the Ancient Era’s juniors?

Sensing that peculiar atmosphere, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors turned to Jie Tianran and kneeled.

“Lord Mansion Master, we only had two choices. One was to follow Chu Feng, and the other was to follow him. There’s no way we could follow Chu Feng, so we could only follow this Ancient Era’s junior to advance further in God’s Era,” the leader of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors explained.

The other present-era juniors also hurriedly explained the situation to their respective elders.

Most of them did it secretly. It wasn’t convenient for them to openly reveal that they dared not follow Chu Feng out of fear of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s vengeance.

The older generation cultivators understood why their juniors had made such a decision, but the problem was that they were enemies with the Ancient Era’s cultivators. It reflected badly on them when their juniors followed the Ancient Era’s juniors.

“Get up,” Jie Tianran said with a wave of his hand, not reproaching the juniors for their actions. Instead, he asked, “Tell me, did you lose a person in your group?”

“Lord Mansion Master, he killed our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Jie Liu,” a Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s junior reported as he pointed at the Redsoul Sect’s young master.

“You bastard! How dare you hurt our people?”

Before Jie Tianran could say a word, some of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s experts were already glaring at and berating the Redsoul Sect’s young master.

“Hah…” The Redsoul Sect’s young master was without fear, knowing that his grandfather was here to back him up. “That fellow irked me with his words, so I killed him. You people should be grateful to me for taking you in. An ingrate like him deserves to be killed.”

He then turned to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors and sneered, “Be relieved that none of you dared to let out a squeak when I killed him. If even one of you dared to step forth, I would have killed all of you.” Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

The present-era cultivators in God’s Era dared not to reveal their emotions lest they offend the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, but an uproar broke out outside God’s Era.

Those words were simply too humiliating!

The Redsoul Sect’s young master had revealed that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors dared not say a word when their brother had been killed. That was an embarrassment! No wonder the other party called the present-era juniors cowards.

What else could this be if not cowardice?
