C677 Blow Your Own Horn
Three days later, Yuh Shiji had completely recovered his strength. The life force that had been devoured by the Extinction Forbidden Land had also recovered. He had black hair, bright eyes, and an extraordinary bearing. With just a glance, one could tell that Yuh Shiji wasn't an ordinary person in the past.
"Xu Feng, I really don't know how to thank you. It was only my selfishness that I told you about the Celestial Nourished Fruit in the Extinction Forbidden Land. I never thought..."
Yuh Shiji said in shame, but was stopped by Xu Feng. He shook his head and said, "Maybe you were selfish, but when I was injured by Patriarch Chu... You have truly saved me. Just this kindness alone... I should repay you as much as I can! "
No one was selfless. Xu Feng knew this very well. Furthermore, before entering the Extinction Forbidden Land, Yuh Shiji had warned him. Entering the Extinction Forbidden Land would only lead to death. If Xu Feng obtained the Celestial Nourished Fruit... If he was unwilling to give it to him, he could choose not to give it to him.
In the end, Yuh Shiji was still a good man.
What was worth mentioning here was that Qingqing, who had always been wary of others, actually didn't have any resistance after meeting Yuh Wanxin. She had been playing with Yuh Wanxin for the past few days and was having a lot of fun.
After staying in Chu City for another two days, Xu Feng finally decided to leave for Western Chu Xiang Mountain. Before leaving, he asked Yuh Wanxin to take care of Qingqing.
If it was any other time, Qingqing definitely wouldn't agree to stay, but this time, she surprisingly agreed. Although her eyes were red when she left, she repeatedly told Xu Feng to come back and take her away.
"Qingqing... Qingqing...!"
Walking towards the direction of Western Chu Xiang Mountain, Xu Feng habitually called out. He suddenly turned his head and found that Qingqing was no longer by his side. He was used to having one more person to accompany him. Now that he was alone, he realized that he was not used to it.
After laughing at himself, Xu Feng did not hesitate. He continued to walk towards Western Chu Xiang Mountain. However, most of them were in groups of three to five. It was rare for someone like Xu Feng to travel alone.
The Western Chu Xiang Mountain had existed for over a thousand years. Although there had always been cultivators going there to explore the treasures, no one had ever heard of anyone obtaining it. This was also one of the reasons why there was an endless stream of cultivators in the Western Chu Xiang Mountain.
"Brother, brother... stop for a moment!"
As they were walking, a voice was heard from behind. When they turned around, they saw a cultivator who was about the same age as Xu Feng. At this moment, he was running out of breath. When he saw Xu Feng stop, a trace of joy appeared on his face.
"What's the matter, friend?"
Xu Feng did not want to casually call him brother, so he called him fellow Daoist.
"I wonder if fellow Daoist is going to the Western Chu Xiang Mountain to search for treasures?"
The man cursed Xu Feng in his heart. He then asked politely. His cultivation base was the same as Xu Feng's, Great Perfection of Spirit Essence Stage. He couldn't be considered an expert.
"That's what I meant."
As they were heading in this direction, they were naturally heading to Western Chu Xiang Mountain. Xu Feng furrowed his brows. He didn't try to hide anything from them and directly admitted it.
"That's great. I am also preparing to enter the Western Chu Xiang Mountain. How about we travel together? We can take care of each other along the way. My name is Ling Shihong. May I know how to address fellow Daoist?"
Ling Shihong generously stretched out his hand and introduced himself. In fact, from the moment he started talking to Xu Feng, he knew that Xu Feng was going to enter the Western Chu Xiang Mountain. At first, it was just some small talk.
"Not interested. I like someone!"
Frowning, Xu Feng directly refused. He was not willing to bring a person he did not trust with him. Any secret he revealed would be enough to cause a stir in the Southern Ridge.
As the saying goes, the heart of a person is separated from the heart. Even Yuh Shiji and his daughter, Xu Feng only told them 70% of the truth, let alone the passerby in front of them.
Perhaps Xu Feng was too cautious, but he had made every step he took. If he wasn't careful, he would lose his life. How could he not be careful?
"Brother, brother... Don't be like this! You and I are both alone. You and I don't know what is going on in Western Chu Xiang Mountain. We can help each other out when we are in danger!"
Ling Shihong followed closely behind while Xu Feng walked in front. To be honest, Ling Shihong's strength had helped him a lot. It could be said that it was extremely rare. Xu Feng did not bring him along. He did not need to be a burden, nor did he need to constantly be on guard against him. Wouldn't that be beautiful?
"You can leave. Don't follow me. I'm afraid you'll lose your life!"
Xu Feng had no choice but to turn his head and speak in a deep voice.
"Brother, I am not boasting. I, Ling Shihong, am a person who is not afraid of death. I have seen all kinds of big scenes. In the past, I spent my days licking blood on the tip of a blade..."
Ling Shihong spoke with confidence and confidence. His words were filled with the tone of the Jianghu. Xu Feng frowned again when he heard this. He did not want to bring the person in front of him with him, so he quickened his pace again.
It was not that he did not believe in the heroes of the forest. It was because he felt that such a person who boasted about himself was not reliable at all. At the critical moment, he did not know what he would do.
One day later, Xu Feng arrived at the periphery of Western Chu Xiang Mountain. Looking from afar, the Western Chu Xiang Mountain was as tall as the clouds. Its entire body was purple and full of mystery. This feeling was similar to the time when Xu Feng climbed Mount Shu's Heavenly Dao.
"Stop!"
In front of them, five or six soldiers walked up and blocked their way. The armor on their bodies was engraved with the word Chu. Obviously, they were from Chu family.
"Big brother, big brothers, I understand. You need to pay ten thousand Essence Crystal to enter. I have ten thousand Essence Crystal here, keep it well!"
Ling Shihong was very knowledgeable. It seemed like he had already asked around before entering.
After accepting the 10,000 Essence Crystal, the soldiers looked at Xu Feng. Their intention was very clear: they wanted Xu Feng to pay the Essence Crystal.
"What's your name?"
One. A soldier asked in a deep voice. He felt that Xu Feng's appearance was somewhat familiar, but he could not remember for a moment.
"Feng Xunchuan!"
He casually said his life, but Xu Feng did not plan to pay the Essence Crystal. Because he felt that this was something the Western Chu Xiang Mountain had left for their descendants. It had nothing to do with the Chu family. These ten thousand Essence Crystal... It was an insult to Overlord Chu's past glory!
It was one thing to occupy the land of the Chu City and bully the common people. Who would have thought that the entrance fee to the Western Chu Xiang Mountain was ten thousand Essence Crystal? There were at least two to three hundred people entering here every day. One day was the income of a few million Essence Crystal. Such an income... How rich was it!?
"Feng Xunchuan?"
He murmured in doubt. He had no recollection of this life. His face turned cold once again, and he said, "If you want to enter the Western Chu Xiang Mountain, you have to pay ten thousand Essence Crystal. Otherwise, you have to leave as soon as possible!"
"Don't try to break through by force. We will only let you die here!"
Another soldier also threatened. They saw that Xu Feng was wearing very plain clothes. Clearly, they did not believe that Ning Xu Feng could take out ten thousand Essence Crystal.
Xu Feng was also straightforward. He waved his hand and said, "Then let's not go in. Anyway, the inheritance of Western Chu Xiang Mountain is just an illusory legend!"
After saying that, Xu Feng floated away, leaving behind a few stunned people and Ling Shihong, who had accompanied Xu Feng all the way here.
With their strength at their level, ten thousand Essence Crystal was nothing to them. It was not a lot, and most people could afford it. However, Xu Feng chose to give up on the Western Chu Xiang Mountain because of the ten thousand Essence Crystal. This was the first time they had seen such a person.
"Brother, how about I pay the ten thousand Essence Crystal for you? How about you come with me?"
Ling Shihong looked at Xu Feng's back as he left and shouted loudly. However, the response he got was Xu Feng waving his hand casually. He didn't like to owe others favors, and he didn't like to bring someone with him just because of ten thousand Essence Crystal.
Of course, he wasn't giving up on entering the Western Chu Xiang Mountain. It was just that it wasn't the right time for him to be idle. With the Ghost Dance, why would he waste the Essence Crystal for the night?
After Xu Feng rejected Ling Shihong's good intentions, Ling Shihong didn't delay any longer and directly rushed towards the Western Chu Xiang Mountain.
The night fell very quickly, and the entire world fell into darkness. However, he discovered that the distant Western Chu Xiang Mountain, which was as high as the clouds, was emitting a layer of gentle light.
"I'm coming, Western Chu Xiang Mountain, Overlord Chu!"
The King's Divine Seal in his body seemed to have sensed something, and it let out a buzzing sound. Xu Feng didn't stay any longer. He casted the Ghost Dance and merged it into the darkness. Then, he swaggered towards the direction of Western Chu Xiang Mountain.
"Bang!"
As the saying goes, happiness brings sorrow. Xu Feng had just walked a few hundred meters when an invisible barrier blocked his path. His hiding figure was also revealed. This feeling... It was exactly the same as when he wanted to forcefully climb over the wall and enter the Mei family!
"Someone is here! Go over immediately!"0
The guards were the most alert. They shouted and moved their bodies. Their spears were aimed at Xu Feng and surrounded him.
"Damn it, it's you!? If you can't pay the Essence Crystal, don't even think about entering the Western Chu Xiang Mountain!"
After recognizing Xu Feng, a soldier immediately started cursing. Such an attitude made Xu Feng frown.
These people from the Chu family had been arrogant and despotic in the Chu City for too long. They really thought that they were the father of the Heavenly King. Initially, Xu Feng didn't want to cause any more trouble. But now that he had been discovered, it was obvious that this problem couldn't be solved so easily.
"Why are you wasting your time talking to him? Beat him up, break his legs, and drag him back to the Chu family's prison!"
Another soldier was even more straightforward. After saying this, the long spear in his hand shone brightly in the night sky. Without showing any mercy, he stabbed towards Xu Feng's legs.
"Humph!"
Xu Feng coldly harrumphed and unleashed the Aura of Heaven and Earth. Each and every one of their actions... They were all under his watch. The moment the soldier moved, he was the first to move. With two kicks, he created a huge pit on the other side. He soared into the sky and hovered in midair, coldly looking at the three people on the ground.
"Either let me in or die!"
The cold voice was filled with killing intent. Although it was not loud, it clearly rang in the ears of the soldiers. That cold killing intent made their hearts freeze.
"He's just a Great Perfection of Spirit Essence Stage warrior, what's there to be afraid of!"
Very quickly, they collected their thoughts. After saying this in their hearts, they floated up into the sky together.
"Crack crack!"
A soldier walked out and gently twisted his neck, making the sound of bones colliding. After a light laugh, he slowly said, "Brothers, after standing on duty for a day, I'm tired. Let me have some fun. You can come back later!"
"Okay!"
The few people behind him did not object and agreed at the same time. Obviously, they had already regarded Xu Feng as their prey, and they were hunters. They were going to play a game of cat and mouse here!
