Chapter 267: Dare You Be So Bold!
As Flowing Wind Sword Sect stepped forward, Sikong Tingyun from Spirit Sound Valley also moved, leading his ten Golden Core late-stage protectors.
Lingxiu Pavilion remained silent, after all, when Su Jingzhen and the others arrived, Lingxiu Pavilion had already spoken of their protection.
At this point, even for the sake of their previous promise in front of everyone, these major forces couldn’t just stand idly by.
They had already given them several hours of leeway, but the people still hadn’t appeared.
Taking action now was justified!
All Foundation Establishment cultivators rose, wielding their weapons!
“Do you dare to declare war on my Feng family?”
Seeing this, the many Feng family disciples who remained by the lake suddenly changed their expressions.Their aura surged, blocking the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and the other cultivators.
Feng Baozhao was gone, Elder Feng Lie was gone, even Second Elder Feng Li was absent. With just these people, if the Flowing Wind Sword Sect’s strong cultivators acted without restraint, they would be crushed in an instant.
Therefore, these people were somewhat bluffing at this moment.
At this time, Tuoba Junlin, who had been sitting on a stone, opened his eyes.
He nodded to the black-robed elder behind him.
The two mounted their swords again and stood in the void between the many aggressive cultivators and the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
“Are you truly determined to launch an attack on my Treasure Gathering Pavilion? This could be seen as a provocation to my Qingzhou Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”
As soon as Tuoba Junlin spoke, the aura of the elder behind him erupted instantly.
He was a Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator!
A Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator was already considered a top powerhouse in this place.
After all, Sikong Tingyun, as the valley master, had only reached the Nascent Soul mid-stage.
Seeing Tuoba Junlin and the two standing in front, Sikong Tingyun smiled and said, “Hehe, your Tuoba Clan may be strong, but we are not easily intimidated.
I don’t believe that simply searching for treasures would take so long. Since the Feng family dared to detain the top three alchemists of this Alchemy Master Conference in front of all the forces of Yunmeng City, they must have already prepared to face the wrath of everyone.
Moreover, we have already given the Feng family a chance before.”
“That’s right, we promised to ensure Miss Xuening’s safety. A promise must be kept.”
The Nascent Soul mid-stage female cultivator from Lingxiu Pavilion also said the same.
At this point, it was only the Tuoba Clan standing in front of them, which was far from enough.
Seeing this, Tuoba Junlin frowned slightly.
His expression remained relatively calm.
Bai Susu saw this scene in the distance and frowned again.
“This guy, did he really reach some kind of agreement with the Feng family? But even so, just the two of them wouldn’t be enough to stand against the current forces of Yunmeng City, would they?”
As she spoke, Bai Susu’s face showed a hint of excitement.
The old man beside her, however, looked wary and said, “Miss, let’s just observe this time, remember not to get involved.”
“Oh, just relax, Old Fu. I’m just here to watch the show, I won’t participate. Besides, I don’t have a position to get involved. I just want to help Feng Qingya, but now the head of the Feng family is Feng Baozhao’s line. I have no good feelings towards Feng Baozhao at all.”
Hearing her words, the old man, called Old Fu, silently nodded and followed her towards the lake.
At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivators of Spirit Sound Valley, Lingxiu Pavilion, and Flowing Wind Sword Sect had already stood together.
They looked at Tuoba Junlin and his companion, showing no fear.
Behind them, Qi Yun City, Gao Family, and other major forces also had Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators standing at the front.
“This is not Holy City, the Tuoba Clan can’t stop us. Of course, if Young Master Tuoba can immediately release the four young friends, we will naturally withdraw immediately.”
The Nascent Soul cultivator from Flowing Wind Sword Sect instantly locked onto Tuoba Junlin’s protector with his aura.
With things having reached this point, the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and the other forces would not give the Tuoba Clan any more face.
On the other side, Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng were just about to make a move when Sikong Tingyun smiled and said:
“The two distinguished guests need not say any more. This is the Feng family’s choice. If the two of you were not here, I’m afraid we would have already attacked the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”
Sikong Tingyun’s words directly stopped Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng’s next move.
Seeing this, Vice President Ouyang could only sigh.
Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng both knew that even if they told everyone present that Su Jingzhen and the others were inside to save the Feng family’s ancestor, it wouldn’t stop their next move.
After all, many people wanted to rescue or retrieve Su Jingzhen and the others, but it was just an excuse.
The ultimate goal of most of the opportunists was nothing more than the treasures in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
And if everyone knew what Su Jingzhen and the others were doing, the desire of the various forces to attack the Treasure Gathering Pavilion would only intensify.
After all, for forces like Flowing Wind Sword Sect and Lingxiu Pavilion, if the Feng family’s ancestor could never leave seclusion, it would naturally be more beneficial to them.
The cultivation world was a world of survival of the fittest, and resources were mostly obtained through seizing them!
When a force began to weaken and it was certain they could be devoured, it was normal to kick them when they were down.
Just like the Huayang Sect, which had just been destroyed not long ago.
After all the Nascent Soul cultivators of Huayang Sect were slaughtered by Shuang Jiang, the surrounding forces that had seemed friendly before did not step forward to offer help.
They just wanted to divide and swallow.
“Charge with me! Enter the Feng family’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion and rescue the four young friends!”
“The Feng family is truly despicable, it’s time for us to uphold justice!”
“Break through the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, anyone from the Feng family who dares to obstruct us, kill them without mercy!”
“…”
With Sikong Tingyun and the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Flowing Wind Sword Sect and Lingxiu Pavilion watching Tuoba Junlin and his protector, many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, their eyes burning with greed, looked at the Feng family’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion and quickly approached it.
They shouted slogans about rescuing Su Jingzhen and the others, but only they knew what they truly desired.
The Feng family disciples who remained by the lake, facing this overwhelming force, did not dare to truly resist.
These people weren’t fools. With Feng Baozhao and the others gone, if they tried to stop them, they would likely be killed by these cultivators.
“Young Master Tuoba, you’ve seen it too. This time, it’s just the Feng family who has incurred the wrath of the public. Our demands are very simple, we just want the four young friends to come out. Now, please don’t act rashly, this is Yunmeng City, not Holy City.”
Watching over a hundred cultivators heading towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, the Nascent Soul cultivator from Flowing Wind Sword Sect looked at Tuoba Junlin again.
Then, he also mounted his sword and flew towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Sikong Tingyun and the cultivators from Lingxiu Pavilion didn’t say much, they quickly followed suit.
Once they could enter the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, both powers would naturally want a share of the spoils.
Seeing this, Tuoba Junlin frowned again, but he didn’t say much.
The black-robed elder beside him, however, gradually became more imposing.
“Master… should I stop them? Three Nascent Soul mid-stages, although I can’t defeat them, they won’t be able to achieve anything else.”
Hearing this, Tuoba Junlin shook his head: “My Tuoba Clan will make a move, but not now. Wait and see. If everything goes as planned, there will be a time for you to make your move.”
As he spoke, Tuoba Junlin’s gaze fell on the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
He had already made his stance clear according to the agreement.
If, as expected, the Feng family’s ancestor fell in this incident, then it would be the Tuoba Clan’s turn to take over.
Right now, he was waiting for Edler Feng Lie to make his move.
As Tuoba Junlin was thinking this, the first group of people heading towards the Treasure Gathering Pavilion had already flown back.
Many Foundation Establishment cultivators had their auras extinguished in an instant, falling into the lake.
“With I, Feng Lie here, how dare you be so presumptuous!”
