93: Chapter 93 Audacious
Gao Fei took the lead.
Cultivators from other Sects who had lost fellow Disciples chimed in one after another.
Each person added their voice, and the clamor grew louder, everyone sounding righteous and stern.
It was as if if Chu Feng and his group didn't hand over the 'relics,' they were seizing others' property and disregarding the bonds of Fellow Daoists.
Hearing these words, the people from the Duobao Sect felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.
Especially Chu Feng and the other four.
The cultivation world had its own unwritten rule: whoever kills the enemy gets the spoils of war.
As for whether the enemy had things stolen from others, that was a separate matter, usually handled at the winner's discretion.
Now, this group was demanding 'relics' out of the blue, clearly using it as a pretext to get a share of the spoils from this otherworldly demonic Cultivator's corpse.
Moreover, who knew if the 'relics' they spoke of were real or fake?
They were likely after the 'danyin fruit'!
Yet, what they said wasn't entirely without merit.
After all, the otherworldly demonic Cultivator had just died, and the spoils hadn't been officially collected or inventoried. Legally speaking, the ownership of those 'relics' was indeed subject to dispute.
Chu Feng cast a cold glance at Li Sen.
If this man hadn't interfered, they would have finished cleaning up the battlefield and returned to the Sect long ago. How could they have been surrounded by so many people and fallen into such a passive position?
What was even more infuriating was that among the Duobao Sect Disciples who had rushed over upon hearing the news, many had flickering gazes, staring at Voldemort's corpse with burning eyes.
Nine Earth Rank treasures, the 'danyin fruit'—which Foundation Establishment Cultivator wouldn't be tempted?
Seeing the situation become increasingly noisy, Chu Feng took a deep breath and spoke loudly.
"What you Fellow Daoists say is reasonable."
"We will naturally return the relics of the Fellow Daoists who fell victim to the otherworldly demonic Cultivator."
"However, I must take this demon's body back to the Sect. After the Law Enforcement Hall examines it and determines which items belong to our Fellow Daoists, they will be sent to your respective Sects. This is the secure way to do it. I hope you Fellow Daoists understand."
As his voice fell, most of the Cultivators from other Sects showed expressions of disappointment.
Their words just now were meant to incite trouble and create chaos, to see if they could fish in troubled waters and get a 'danyin fruit' or some other treasure.
Now that Chu Feng had responded logically, neither refusing nor yielding, and even brought up Sect rules, most of their schemes fell through.
But some refused to give up.
A burly man with a thick beard shouted sternly, "Why make it so complicated? Inventory them on the spot, and whoever they belong to can take them. Wouldn't that be more straightforward? Who knows if you'll... after you take them back to the Duobao Sect."
"Does this Fellow Daoist not trust my Duobao Sect's rules, or do you not trust the Duobao Sect's reputation?"
Chu Feng interrupted him, his gaze sweeping over like lightning. "If you don't trust us, you can return to the Sect with me and witness it in person."
The Bearded Man choked, his face turning red, unable to speak.
Follow Chu Feng back to the Duobao Sect? Wouldn't that be looking for trouble in their own backyard?
Chu Feng ignored him and waved his hand. A strand of spiritual energy, like a silk ribbon, coiled toward Voldemort's corpse, intending to pull it into his storage ring.
Delay brings trouble; he had to leave this place of conflict as soon as possible.
"Stop!"
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing this, several Foundation Establishment Cultivators from other Sects grew anxious and couldn't help but shout out.
Two of them even disregarded their dignity, directly circulating their magic power to strike out with palm winds and sword glows from afar, trying to block that spiritual energy!
At this critical juncture, any Sect face or moral rules were thrown to the back of their minds.
The 'danyin fruit' was right before their eyes; who could watch it be taken away?
"You seek death!!!"
Seeing these people dare to attack him, Chu Feng's face darkened, and killing intent burst from his eyes.
At the same time, a purple flash of lightning shot out, expanding in the wind to transform into a majestic Thunder Wolf.
The Thunder Wolf roared, electric sparks flying all around it. It opened its massive maw and actually swallowed the incoming palm winds and sword glows, crushing them to pieces with a series of crackling explosions.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Although this Chu Feng was only at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, the Talisman Beast Thunder Wolf was at Foundation Establishment Completion Stage.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Feng's spiritual energy wrapped around Voldemort's corpse. With a flash of light, the body disappeared, tucked into Chu Feng's storage ring.
"You..." The Cultivators who had tried to stop him were both shocked and furious, but they didn't dare move recklessly again.
Chu Feng's Talisman Beast, the Thunder Wolf, had already made them wary.
Even Li Sen felt his heart twitch, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Nine 'danyin fruits'!
If he could obtain them, he would have at least an eighty percent chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm!
But now, he had to watch them fall into the hands of a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment kid!
Seeing the corpse taken away, most of the Cultivators from other Sects knew the cause was lost and began to think of retreating.
But Li Sen was unwilling.
Extremely unwilling.
It was like a wedding night where the groom wasn't him.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and spoke in a deep voice: "Junior Brother, please hand over the otherworldly demonic Cultivator's corpse and his relics, especially those 'danyin fruits'."
His voice wasn't loud, but it contained the spiritual energy of Foundation Establishment Completion Stage, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"These things were stolen by the otherworldly demonic Cultivator while Fang Li and the other nine Fellow Daoists and I were previously fighting the Green Water Python."
"Although you killed the demonic Cultivator, if you say all the credit belongs to you and completely erase the hard work of everyone before... wouldn't that be a bit improper?"
These words were quite skillfully put.
It pointed out their previous 'merit,' lumped the 'danyin fruit' in with the other 'relics,' and subtly placed Chu Feng and the other four in the dishonorable position of 'monopolizing the spoils.'
As a Foundation Establishment Completion Stage expert and an Earth-rank True Disciple, Li Sen's words carried great weight.
As soon as he spoke, many Duobao Sect Disciples present—especially those familiar with Li Sen or who also had designs on the 'danyin fruit'—chimed in:
"Senior Brother Li is right! We searched for that demonic Cultivator for a long time and spent many Talismans and Medicinal Pills. We can't return empty-handed, can we?"
"Exactly! If we hadn't set up an inescapable net, how would that demonic Cultivator have been forced to flee here in panic?"
"Junior Brother Chu, the credit belongs to everyone, and the spoils should be distributed accordingly. If the five of you take everything, how can we fellow brothers who put in effort be satisfied?"
Among the Duobao Sect Disciples, there was a flurry of discussion.
Many people's gazes shifted from Chu Feng to Li Sen, subtly showing a tendency to follow his lead.
Chu Feng's heart grew colder bit by bit.
Looking at the unconcealed greed and calculation in their eyes, he suddenly felt it was incredibly ironic.
That bit of bond between fellow Disciples was truly so fragile in the face of profit.
"Li Sen!!"
Chu Feng's loud shout immediately drew everyone's attention.
Chu Feng pointed his finger at Li Sen and said word for word, "I say, you're full of shit!"
Dead silence!
The entire field was in dead silence!
Even the rustling of the wind through the leaves was clearly audible.
No one had expected this.
Chu Feng actually dared to directly insult Li Sen, an Earth-rank True Disciple.
And he did it in front of so many fellow Disciples and Cultivators from other Sects, publicly insulting a fellow Disciple.
The few Foundation Establishment Cultivators from other Sects secretly clicked their tongues. "This kid... is truly audacious!!!"
