Chapter 164: They Are Here

“This might not be a cultivation technique,” Chen Fei suddenly said.
He had intentionally stayed behind to observe until now. Other than using his naked eyes, Chen Fei had also been observing with his mental strength.
Chen Fei could sense that Yu Doushan had very little use of inner strength. Yu Doushan’s strange transformation was mostly due to his absolute control over his own flesh and blood.
This seemed to be an innate talent, just like how flowers and plants could photosynthesize, and humans relied on breathing to survive. It was an instinct and not something created by a cultivation technique.
“Then what about us?” Guo Linshan looked at Chen Fei.
“Let’s go. They can’t hold us back anymore.”
Chen Fei’s expression was grave. Just now, Chen Fei felt his own core soul energy being shaken. This was Yu Doushan’s mind colliding with Chen Fei’s.
Yu Doushan still had the strength to fight Chen Fei when he was facing Fu Zhaoxing. What kind of confidence did he have to do such a thing?
In this short delay, Chen Fei felt the auras of the dozen or so people behind him begin to approach. Clearly, those people were chasing after him again.
Chen Fei grabbed Guo Linshan’s shoulder. His figure flashed as various thoughts ran through his mind.
If Fu Zhaoxing and the others could not hold on and escape, it would be better.
If they couldn’t escape, Yu Doushan would come to find Chen Fei again.
“Was it possessed by something?”
Chen Fei suddenly remembered the Aperture Tempering realm expert he met in the Strange Wind Realm.
However, in this mystic realm, the Aperture Tempering realm could not exist. They would be expelled unless they broke through to the Aperture Tempering realm in the mystic realm and could stay for a period of time.
However, others had already broken through to the Aperture Tempering realm. Why would they still try to possess a martial artist?
“Is it a mutated mystical ingredient or a mutated beast?”
Chen Fei recalled the things he had encountered in the past few days. The mystical ingredients were not pure, and the demonic beasts seemed to be normal. However, it was also possible that Chen Fei had not seen many of them.
Perhaps the demon beasts had also undergone other changes, resulting in Yu Doushan’s situation.
At the very least, when he first met Yu Doushan, the feeling he gave Chen Fei was definitely not like this.
“Where are we going?” Guo Linshan whispered,
“Find a place with a lot of people. 1 reckon that the mystic realm will really be crowded. Or rather, it would be too dangerous for the two of us to go alone if we don’t deal with the trouble behind us.”
Chen Fei thought for a moment and said gravely.
There were benefits to being alone, but there were also benefits to being in a group. Everything had its pros and cons, depending on the environment.
“All!”
A mournful cry suddenly came from behind. It was filled with pain as if it had suffered a thousand tortures.
Chen Fei and Guo Linshan looked at each other. Chen Fei’s footsteps flashed. He sensed a location where the jade tokens were gathered from afar and rushed toward that place.
He could only hope that Fu Zhaoxing and the others could last a little longer.
At this moment, a few miles away, Fu Zhaoxing was like a stray dog. He brought his two junior brothers and used the Flying Roc Style to escape crazily.
It was broken, but no matter what, it could not be worn away. Fu Zhaoxing and the others used all sorts of methods, but they were unable to destroy that lump of flesh and blood. And just as the few of them revealed a slight flaw, they were entangled by flesh and blood.
That scene was still in Fu Zhaoxing’s mind.
“We have to find someone else. If we don’t kill this monster, everyone in the mythical realm will die!”
Fu Zhaoxing’s expression trembled as he sensed the fluctuations coming from the iron plate. He rushed towards the place with the most people nearby. He wanted to tell this news to everyone!
Otherwise, everyone would die, including him!
A dozen miles away, a group of people were cleaning up the scene. They had just killed a high-level Tier 1 demonic beast and obtained a stalk of Flaming Sky Grass at the same time.
The Heavenly Flame Grass was one of the ingredients used to refine the Aperture Breaking Pill. Although it was not the main ingredient, it was still quite precious. More importantly, this Heavenly Flame Grass had not mutated and was considered a normal mystical ingredient.
For a group of ten Visceral Tempering realm and six Marrow Tempering realm experts, killing a high-level Tier 1 demonic beast would not even cause any injuries.
Eh, someone is rushing towards us!” someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
Usually, when lone wolves sense the number of people on their side, they would avoid them far away. After all, they didn’t just hunt demonic beasts to collect mystical ingredients. If they encountered a suitable situation, they would definitely collect the jade token.
Therefore, unless it was a group of the same size that came to seek cooperation, the other owners of the jade tokens would not even have time to run away when they saw them, let alone approach them.
However, no one cared. There were so many of them. Even if someone at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm came, it would not be able to pose any threat to them, let alone when there was a person at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm in their team.
Only those at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm could form a deterrent force and make their subordinates follow the rules.
Just as everyone was calmly packing up the things on the demon beasts, they saw two figures appear dozens of meters away from them.
“Chen Fei, it’s you!”
Zeng Jingan was playing with the longsword in his hand. When he saw the person who came, his eyes lit up. His figure flashed, and he arrived in front.
“Senior Brother Zeng!”
Seeing Zeng Jingan, Chen Fei was also a little surprised. He did not expect to see this person here. He cupped his hands and greeted him.
Guo Linshan frowned slightly when he saw Zeng Jingan. Guo Linshan knew very well what the Zeng Family had done in the past.
For this reason, Feng Xiupu had specially made a trip to the Zeng family and beat them into announcing that they were closing their doors to guests. As the representative of the Zeng Family, Zeng Jingan had a huge grudge against Chen Fei.
“Even if we are from the same sect, we are still competing in the mystic realm. Are the two of you giving us your jade tokens?”
Zeng Jingan stared at Chen Fei. He had been looking for an opportunity to settle scores with Chen Fei for everything that had happened previously. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find an opportunity.
Or rather, there was no chance for him to be in the spotlight.
But now that they were in the mystic realm, wasn’t this an opportunity? All the fights in the mystic realm were within the sect’s permission. However, it was rare for people from the same sect to go overboard. After all, there were always all kinds of tangled relationships in the sect.
If he could snatch the metal tokens from Chen Fei and the other two, making them lose the qualifications to be true disciples, wouldn’t that be the greatest revenge!
Hearing Zeng Jingan’s words, the surrounding people slowly surrounded him. Apart from those from the Primordial Sword Sect, there were also disciples from other sects gathered here.
No one would complain about having too many jade tokens.
“Martial Feng’s title of Green Ridge Sword has been resounding in the sect recently. Junior Brother Guo is Martial Feng’s disciple, so he must be an outstanding disciple. Why don’t the two of us spar?”
Suddenly, someone stepped out of the crowd and looked at Guo Linshan with a provocative look in his eyes.
News of Feng Xiupu’s breakthrough to the Aperture Tempering realm had spread in the sect recently, so most people wouldn’t provoke him. However, if his master was also at the aperture refinement state, then there was nothing to worry about.
Mou Yuanchang was one of them. His master was at the Aperture Tempering realm and was an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhong Benyuan.
Back then, Zhong Benyuan wanted to capture Chen Fei and send him to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, but he was stopped by Wu Guangyin. Countless people were delighted to see this. After all, many people could not bear to see Zhong Benyuan lean so much toward the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
As Zhong Benyuan’s disciple, Mou Yuanchang naturally wanted to avenge his master. If Chen Fei’s cultivation weren’t so low, only at the Marrow Tempering stage, Mou Yuanchang would have beaten him up.
“Why would I be afraid of you?”
Guo Linshan frowned and snorted.
As the disciple of an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Mou Yuanchang could be said to be quite arrogant and despotic in the sect. After all, the Law Enforcement Hall itself was a place where people’s sore spots were. Ordinary people would not dare to go against Mou Yuanchang.
“Very good, 1 was waiting for you to say that!”
Mou Yuanchang laughed loudly and said, “However, it’s too boring to just fight. Let’s add some stakes. How about taking the jade tokens you have on you?”
Guo Linshan was about to speak when Chen Fei stopped him and looked up at Jiao Xiangyuan.
Jiao Xiangyuan had already seen Chen Fei when he appeared, but he didn’t say anything, allowing the others to make things difficult for the two of them.
Because of the Dreamlike Lotus, Jiao Xiangyuan admired Chen Fei, but it was just admiration. Chen Fei had rejected his previous two invitations, so Jiao Xiangyuan felt a little uncomfortable.
Now that Jiao Xiangyuan’s team had grown, it didn’t matter if Chen Fei was there or not. Naturally, he didn’t have to care about Chen Fei’s feelings.
Therefore, Jiao Xiangyuan was waiting for Chen Fei to speak. He knew that there must be a reason for Chen Fei to come here.
“In the mystic realm, there might be a demonic beast that has possessed a martial artist and is currently wantonly hunting others,” Chen Fei said calmly.
“Demonic beast possession? Chen Fei, what nonsense are you talking about?
How can the spiritual wisdom of a demon beast possess us martial artists? Are you being hunted by the other people and want to join us, so you came up with such a lousy excuse?”
Zeng Jingan laughed mockingly. When the others heard Chen Fei’s words, their faces revealed similar smiles.
The spiritual intelligence of demonic beasts had never been high, at least for Tier 1 demonic beasts. Even for peak Tier 1 demonic beasts, their spiritual intelligence was not very high.
Saying that a demonic beast possessed a warrior was better than saying that there was a Tier 2 demonic beast in the mystic realm. It would be more believable. After all, the mystic realm was strange now. It was not impossible for a demonic beast to break through.
However, it was too exaggerated to say that a demon beast possessed him.
Jiao Xiangyuan did not smile. Instead, he frowned slightly.
After the incident with the Dreamlike Lotus, Jiao Xiangyuan knew that this secret realm had become very strange. Besides, it was unnecessary for Chen Fei to find a lie that would be exposed as soon as he heard it.
“Where did you see a demonic beast possessing a martial artist?” Jiao Xiangyuan asked in a low voice.
Zeng Jingan wanted to continue mocking Chen Fei, but he shut his mouth when he saw Jiao Xiangyuan speak. In this team, Jiao Xiangyuan was the absolute leader.
Chen Fei was just about to speak when he suddenly sensed a jade token fluctuation coming from afar. In just a moment, it arrived in front of everyone. It was Fu Zhaoxing, but there were only three people left.
Jiao Xiangyuan frowned as he looked at the three of them. What kind of technique was this to conceal the fluctuations of the jade token? They only noticed it when they were close to it.
“The monster is chasing us, we can’t stop it, we are all going to die!”
Fu Zhaoxing looked at everyone and cried in panic. The feeling of being locked on appeared again. That monster still did not let them off..
