Chapter 6039: Hero and Coward

“Chu Feng!!!”

Despite knowing that Chu Feng had obtained a flag too and would be heading here, all Ancient Era’s experts here, whether it was joy or animosity, felt a rush of emotions.

Chu Feng represented the present-era cultivators, but how could juniors compete with the older-generation cultivators?

This could be seen from how Jie Tianran robbed the ten thousand juniors of their red auras in just a single move. This was an inevitable outcome arising from the huge time difference they had spent cultivating.

How could juniors rival a Heavenly God?

Qin Xuan, Yuwen Yanri, and the others soon emerged from the spirit formation gate too. They took their places behind Chu Feng. Their chests were puffed out, and their eyes glowed with spirit. They were proud to be standing beside Chu Feng.

However, their confidence only lasted for an instant before it was replaced with bewilderment. They noticed Jie Tianran and the others.

“Qin Xuan, why are you with Chu Feng?” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster roared at Qin Xuan and the other Heavenly Dome Immortal Sectmembers.

“Lord Sectmaster?”

Qin Xuan panicked.

The other juniors immediately dropped to their knees in fright and lowered their heads. They looked like kids who had done wrong. They dared not to utter a word, instead quietly awaiting their punishment as if resigned to their fates.

Qin Xuan kneeled, clasped his fist, and said, “Lord Sectmaster, we had to choose between the Ancient Era and the Present Era in the previous realm. As present-era cultivators, how can we choose to side with the Ancient Era’s juniors?

“Besides, the Ancient Era’s juniors have been hostile to us right from the start. They picked on us at every chance, and they even tried to rob us of our chances to venture deeper into God’s Era.

“That is especially so for those red-cloaked men. They beat up and killed our people. They insisted that we kneel and utter degrading words before they were willing to let us off. If not for Chu Feng’s help, we would not have been able to get this far.

“We had to either surrender or choose between Chu Feng and the red-cloaked men. I didn’t want to give up. I am accountable to not just the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect but the present-era cultivators too. How can I surrender so easily? So, I had no choice but to pick Chu Feng.

“I know that there’s a grudge between Chu Feng and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, but I also cannot deny that Chu Feng has helped me many times before, not just here but in the Nine Heavens’ Zenith too. If not for him, we would have been trampled by the Ancient Era’s juniors.

“I will accept punishment per the sect rules, but I stand by my decision to follow Chu Feng!” Qin Xuan said.

Yuwen Yanri turned to the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s Mansion Master and said, “Grandfather, Qin Xuan is right. The Ancient Era’s juniors have been picking on us, especially the red-cloaked figures from the Redsoul Sect. Chu Feng has helped us a lot. Grandfather, I ask for your understanding.”

Following that, he bowed deeply to his grandfather.

“Young friends, please don’t think too much into it. Our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion will personally settle our grudge with Chu Feng; you are free to do what you want. There’s no need to overcomplicate things here,” Jie Tianran spoke up.

He glanced at the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster.

That made the latter realize that he shouldn’t have blamed Qin Xuan and the others in public. He had berated Qin Xuan out of respect for the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, given the grudge between Chu Feng and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

However, he was so anxious to fawn over the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion that he forgot that joining the Ancient Era’s team was the bigger taboo here. It put one’s loyalty toward the present-era cultivators into question.

He knew that Jie Tianran didn’t mean those words; he was bound to still blame them for this, considering how deep his hatred for Chu Feng ran.

Meanwhile, those outside God’s Era got into an intense discussion over this matter.

“Eyy, those people are truly brave to follow Chu Feng.”

“How can they follow the Ancient Era’s cultivators when they are trampling all over us?”

“I never thought young hero Qin Xuan is one to consider the big picture.”

“That young hero over there called the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s Mansion Master his grandfather. Could he be young master Yuwen Yanri?”

“They are setting a good example, whereas the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s juniors… Haa, what misfortune!”

The spectators saw Chu Feng, Qin Xuan, and the others as the heroes, whereas those who chose to follow the Redsoul Sect’s young master were all cowards.

The Redsoul Sect’s young master had never been sincere about accepting them. It couldn’t be more obvious that he was merely using them as slaves, judging by his attitude, yet they chose to follow him nevertheless. It was as if they had no dignity or bottom line at all!

In comparison, Qin Xuan and the others’ decision to temporarily put aside their personal grudges for the greater good and follow Chu Feng felt much more palatable.

It was not just those outside the God’s Era who thought so; even those inside the God’s Era harbored such thoughts too. They dared not voice their opinions aloud, but they were filled with admiration for Chu Feng.

Some of the older-generation cultivators sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, explaining the situation here and the trial he would be facing.

Chu Feng remained calm despite learning about the difficult trial awaiting him. Instead, he turned to the Redsoul Sect’s young master and sneered, “Oh? Isn’t this the Redsoul Sect’s young master? So that’s how you look! How wretched. No wonder you hide it behind a veil. What’s wrong? Why are you crawling on the floor? Are you unable to draw out the powers you obtained from killing those birds?”

“Powers?”

The Ancient Era’s juniors suddenly widened their eyes in realization.

This showdown didn’t make sense at all. It belatedly struck them that maybe they were supposed to use the powers they had obtained from slaying the birds here to deal with the present-era cultivators.

So, they brought out the containers they had used to store the powers, only to freeze in shock.

“Why is it empty? Where did the powers all go?”

“Mine is empty too. Where are the powers?”

Shocked exclamations filled the air.

The Redsoul Sect’s young master realized that something was off, so he hurriedly brought out his prized golden vat. Much to his shock, the golden vat was empty. This made him realize that he had been duped.

The birds were bait for them to waste their collected energies!

“Chu Feng!!! You knew this from the start?”

The Redsoul Sect’s young master glared at Chu Feng. The latter must have known about it right from the start, or else he wouldn’t intentionally mention it with a smirk.

“Of course. Did you think that we would squander the tokens’ energies over nothing like you people?” Chu Feng replied with a smile.

He took out a token and floated it on his palm. The other juniors following him brought out their tokens too.

“We knew from the start that the birds were a trap. Look at our tokens. Can you sense their prowess? If there’s something to be gained from those birds, you wouldn’t have stood a chance at all.”

The juniors looked at the Redsoul Sect’s young master and the other Ancient Era’s juniors as if they were a bunch of clowns. It was so exhilarating to see them make a fool out of themselves.

They remembered how high and mighty the Redsoul Sect’s young master was earlier, and they finally had a chance to get back at him now.

“How did you collect those energies? You people didn’t even dare to show yourselves!” the Redsoul Sect’s young master exclaimed in disbelief.

“Not only did we manage to do it, but the energies we collected are also superior to yours,” one of the juniors in the Present Era team replied.

“What’s that token?”

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the token.

Neither Chu Feng nor the juniors had revealed the prowess of their tokens, so the older-generation cultivators still had no idea what the tokens were about. Even so, they could sense that the tokens were not to be underestimated.Thê sourc𝗲 of this conte/nt n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))
