"What's going on?"
Su Mengyao's glance made Zi Chen feel numb all over, as if he had been electrocuted. He was instantly petrified.
In the distance, the disciples who 'accidentally' caught a glimpse of this scene were even more dumbfounded. Their mouths were so wide open that one could put an egg in them.
"What's going on? Senior Sister Su is actually hugging someone else's arm. Even Senior Brother Chen Feng doesn't get this treatment." The disciples looked at Zi Chen in shock.
They wanted to see what kind of attraction this average-looking guy had. Not only did he make Lin Xue fall head over heels for him, but he even had an affair with their goddess.
Chen Feng stood there motionless. To be honest, even he was taken aback by Su Mengyao's action of hugging Zi Chen. Obviously, he did not expect it. But after he reacted, his eyes were spitting fire as the aura around him began to surge.
Even the slightest bit of aura that Chen Feng emitted was extremely terrifying.
"Postcelestial Realm." Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. He did not expect Chen Feng to have reached the Postcelestial Realm.
If it was under normal circumstances, Zi Chen would naturally not provoke an expert like Chen Feng. Not only was he powerful, but his background was also boundless.
But now, his arm was being hugged by Su Mengyao and she was using her True Qi. Zi Chen could not break free, nor was he willing to break free.
"Yeah, Zi Chen, we're family. Why do you have to leave? He should be the one leaving. He's an outsider."
Just as Zi Chen was hesitating, Lin Xue's voice rang out. Then, Lin Xue hugged his other arm from the other side, her whole body almost sticking to him.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was Lin Xue's hurtful words.
Family, outsider.
This was a blatant slap to Chen Feng's face.
Chen Feng could no longer describe his current mood, but he definitely wanted to kill someone. He wanted nothing more than to slap this ugly guy in front of him to death.
The disciples in the distance had already begun to suck in a breath of cold air. Some of the more knowledgeable disciples seemed to have thought of something after seeing the performance of the two women.
On that day, Zi Chen had suppressed Wu Sheng. Wu Sheng's talent was the same as Chen Feng's. Zi Chen had suppressed Wu Sheng, and his talent had surpassed Wu Sheng's. At the same time, he had also surpassed Chen Feng's.
"Could it be that Senior Sister Su wants to use Zi Chen to restrain Chen Feng?"
Many people speculated, but they soon realized that it was not right. Zi Chen's talent was very high, but his strength was not high. The current him would definitely be defeated by Chen Feng in a single round.
Just as everyone was puzzled, Zi Chen had already made a decision.
As the saying goes, if one were to die under a peony flower, one would still be a romantic ghost.
Right now, Zi Chen was hugged by two beauties. He felt proud and satisfied, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism. "Meng Yao, Xue 'er, let's go. Don't lower yourself to the same level as an outsider."
After he finished speaking, he held his head high and walked forward with his arms around the two of them. His posture was unusually elegant.
Not far away, there was a trace of admiration in Miao Kong's eyes. As for the others, there was pity in their eyes.
"What an idiot. You're acting all high and mighty now, but if you offend Senior Brother Chen Feng, you'll die in the Spiritual Herbal Garden."
"That's irrational!"
"So what if his talent is high? Offending Senior Brother Chen Feng is equivalent to offending the King of Hell. He's dead for sure."
Everyone curled their lips, and the pity in their eyes deepened.
Chen Feng coldly snorted and left. The farce ended just like that. However, the male disciples looked at Zi Chen with pity, while the female disciples looked at him with admiration.
"Good luck, I have faith in you." As soon as Chen Feng left, Su Mengyao let go of Zi Chen's arm, but she still winked at him.
"I also have faith in you." Lin Xue didn't have this awareness, and kept hugging Zi Chen's arm.
A few days later, after passing through a large mountain range and several rivers, the group finally arrived at their destination.
Among the three factions, the Nimbus Martial Ancestor was the last to arrive. When they arrived, there were already hundreds of people waiting, forming a dark mass. Among them, there were also disciples of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor who had arrived earlier.
Not far away, there were sounds of explosions. It was a group of bored disciples who had set up an arena and were sparring with each other.
"Elder Chen, you're finally here. We've been waiting for a long time." As soon as the group arrived, two middle-aged men came out to greet them.
"Elder Zhang, Elder Ge, I'm sorry for being late." The first elder cupped his hands and signaled Chen Feng to follow.
"Let me introduce you. This is Elder Ge from the Combat Martial Ancestor, and this is Elder Zhang from the Xuan Martial Ancestor." The first elder introduced.
"Chen Feng greets the two seniors."
"Haha, not bad, not bad!
You're Chen Feng, the number one disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, and the future leader of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. You're indeed extraordinary. "The two elders couldn't help but laugh with admiration in their eyes.
"Come, Ling Yun. Greet your Senior Brother Chen Feng."
"Wu Hong. Greet the future leader of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor."
As they chatted, another two young men walked over. One of them was wearing a slender robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. The other was tall and muscular, with a strong aura around him.
Of these two, one was Ling Yun from the Combat Martial Ancestor, and the other was Wu Hong from the Xuan Martial Ancestor. The two of them weren't old, but as they walked, they occasionally emitted an aura that belonged to the Xiantian realm.
"Greetings, Senior Brothers."
Although the two of them were here to greet their Senior Brothers, Chen Feng didn't arrogantly think that he was their Senior Brother. Therefore, he took the initiative to address himself as their Junior Brother.
"Senior Brother, you're too polite. Ling Yun greets Senior Brother."
"Wu Hong greets Senior Brother."
The two of them were also very polite.
This was the first time that the future leaders of the three sects had met.
"First Elder, since everyone is here, shouldn't we open the Spiritual Herb Garden?" Elder Ge suggested.
"Yes, we can." The First Elder nodded.
Then, the three of them flew towards the mountain peak in the distance.
At the same time, the three future leaders had already gathered together. As they chatted, they also introduced some of the geniuses of their respective sects to each other.
"This is Xu Yan, the number one disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. This is Lin Yu, the number two disciple of the inner sect." Chen Feng introduced.
"This is the number one disciple of the Combat Martial Ancestor, Ling Chen. This is Xie Qiu."
"The Xuan Martial Ancestor, Muyi, Liang Guang."
Everyone introduced themselves one by one and greeted them one by one.
Zi Chen was with Lin Xue and Su Mengyao. He was standing at the furthest part of the group. At the same time, he was curiously sizing up the people from the other two sects.
His gaze swept across the crowd and stopped on a green-clothed disciple of the Combat Martial Ancestor. That person's age was similar to his, around eighteen. What attracted Zi Chen's attention was that person's cold gaze and aura that seemed to push people a thousand miles away.
There were a lot of disciples in the Battle Martial Sect, but there wasn't a single person next to him. Furthermore, that person was somewhat similar to him. They were both existences that would cause others to point at them. However, what was different from him was that when the disciples of the Battle Martial Sect looked at that cold-looking young man, there would be a trace of fear in their eyes.
Zi Chen's gaze seemed to have attracted the youth's attention. The other party glanced at Zi Chen with a trace of coldness in his cold gaze. With one glance, Zi Chen knew that this person was a decisive person.
"Oh right, Brother Ling, I heard that there is a genius from the Combat Martial Ancestor. With the strength of True Energy Stage Eight, he defeated the tenth disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. Why didn't you introduce him?" Chen Feng suddenly asked.
"Don't mention it."
The smile on Ling Yun's face suddenly turned ugly. He pointed at the cold youth in the distance and said, "He's called Zhang Haotian. He's an arrogant and conceited fellow. He thinks that he has outstanding talent and doesn't put anyone in his eyes. A while ago, he even beat my cousin to death."
A trace of coldness appeared in Ling Yun's eyes.
"Don't worry, Brother Ling. Leave this matter to me."
Chen Feng smiled calmly. Asking such a question today was a slap to the face of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. Naturally, there was a deeper meaning behind it.
"Oh right, Brother Chen, who is that brat? He is actually with two beauties. Looks like it isn't easy for you to be the number one disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. With such beauties by your side, you actually gave them up?" Ling Yun inadvertently saw Su Mengyao and Lin Xue. Then, he saw Zi Chen.
"This is also an arrogant and brainless person. His name is Zi Chen." Chen Feng smiled calmly.
"Understood. Ling Chen, Xie Qiu, I'll leave this matter to you two." Ling Yun said calmly.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother." The two nodded.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.
"Look over there, the elders have made their move." A disciple pointed at the peak of the mountain in the distance.
Everyone looked over and saw that the three elders had already reached the peak of the mountain. Their auras surged crazily, and a blinding light burst out from their bodies, like three suns.
"These are the True Element Realm masters?"
"The aura of the True Element Realm!"
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the three elders released their True Element Force.
True Element Force was a higher level existence than Xiantian True Qi. Its power was more domineering and purer.
Streaks of True Element Force were released towards the peak of the mountain. They were like three spiritual snakes, emitting different colors of light. They intertwined in front of the peak of the mountain.
"Boom!"
A rumbling sound came from the peak of the mountain. The space above the peak of the mountain suddenly distorted, as if something was about to tear the space apart.
"Put in more effort." The Great Elder shouted. More True Element Force appeared and went towards the distorted space.
At the same time, the other two elders also used their full strength.
In the distorted space, a series of explosions came out like rolling thunder. Following which, the space seemed to be torn apart, and a pitch-black crack appeared.
The crack slowly expanded. It first went from a meter to a few feet wide. Finally, it became a huge crack that was a few feet tall and one foot wide.
The crack was still shaking, and it was not stable.
The three elders continued to release their True Element Force until the huge crack stabilized.
After a while, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the pitch-black crack stabilized. Occasionally, streaks of energy flowed out from it.
"Alright, the Spiritual Herbal Garden has opened. Disciples, come forward." The voices of the three elders came from the peak of the mountain.
Hearing this, the hundreds of disciples rushed toward the peak of the mountain at top speed.
