MGA: Chapter 778 – What Plan?
“You’re Wuqing, who defeated the various geniuses from the Misty Peak, and obtained a large number of Martial Markings?” said the old man.
“Senior, that is me.” Chu Feng nodded.
“No wonder. I’ve heard that you are very skillful with Spirit Formation techniques, and that you can even see through Lady Piaomiao’s Map of Unpredictability. You are truly as the rumours say.
“However, why are the people from the Immortal Execution Archipelago chasing after you? Could it be because you took away their glory on the Misty Peak, and thus they hate you for that?” asked the old man again.
“No. They are chasing after me because I crippled Zhan Feng, the son of the Immortal Execution Archipelago’s Second Immortal in the core area of the Depraved Ravine. That’s why they are doing this,” Chu Feng replied.
“What? You crippled Zhan Feng?” All the experts on scene couldn’t help but gasping deeply after they heard these words. Their eyes were full of admiration as they looked at Chu Feng.
They naturally knew who Zhan Feng was. Although his own strength was nothing significant, his father was one of the peak experts in the Immortal Execution Archipelago.
Yet, Chu Feng still dared to cripple Zhan Feng despite of that. They had to admit that they did admire Chu Feng’s courage.
“These are your words alone; I do not believe them.
“Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, head out and investigate. See if this child’s words are true or not. Also, investigate that boy Xuan Xiaochao, and find out whether he’s safe or not,” said the old man.
“Yes sir.” The three peak Martial Lords had already opened the formation and rose into the air, heading towards the Depraved Ravine.
After a while, they returned, went up to the old man’s side, and quietly informed him of a few things.
Chu Feng could tell that they were tell him about the results of their investigation. Such as: Chu Feng’s words were true—he truly crippled the genius from the Immortal Execution Archipelago, Zhan Feng—and Murong Xun really did fight Xuan Xiaochao, but there was no news of his current whereabouts…
Something they did not know, however, was shortly after they left, a large number of Immortal Execution Archipelago experts arrived at the mountain range they were hiding within earlier.
Even Murong Xun, as well as the Ninth Immortal of the Immortal Execution Archipelago, arrived. They seemed to know that there were many experts killed.
But due to the fact that the Crippling Night Demon Sect’s experts dealt with it perfectly, the Immortal Execution Archipelago could not discover anything. At least, they weren’t able to discover who killed the people from the Immortal Execution Archipelago.
“Haha, I didn’t think you would truly be this fearless.” At that moment, after hearing the report, the old man chuckled. There was a bit more approval in his eyes as he looked at Chu Feng, then he said, “However, Wuqing, my friend, even though you are an enemy to the Immortal Execution Archipelago, you are not a part of my Crippling Night Demon Sect. I still cannot trust you completely.
“However, I’ve taken quite a liking to you. So, even though you know a few of our secrets, I won’t kill you. But, I cannot let you go immediately either. In these days, bear with it and follow us. After the business in this Depraved Ravine is finished, we’ll let you go then.”
After speaking, the old man waved his sleeve and left with the nine other peak Martial Lords. It seemed they had a few things to take care of.
And, even though Chu Feng was able to freely move about within the Spirit Formation, the people from the Crippling Night Demon Sect kept staring at Chu Feng.
He, however, did not mind such a situation. He knew very well that the people from the Crippling Night Demon Sect were preparing something, so he deduced that they were not the only experts from the Crippling Night Demon Sect that had arrived at the Depraved Ravine. He vaguely knew there was going to be an entertaining show to watch soon—a show of the battle between the Immortal Execution Archipelago and Crippling Night Demon Sect.
From then on, Chu Feng stayed put. The people from Crippling Night Demon Sect didn’t treat him badly either; it could even be said he was served with meals abundant with meat. There were even some people who followed Chu Feng and asked him a few things.
For example, the encounters Chu Feng had within the Martial Marking Immortal Realm, and who was Chu Feng’s master. Some were just bored out of their minds and started to chat about random matters with Chu Feng, as if they were brothers already.
Of course, there were two sides to all things. Even though a large fraction of the people liked Chu Feng, there was also a small fraction whose gazes were a bit unkind, even irritated, as they looked at Chu Feng.
After being together with them for a while, as well as his furtive eavesdropping, Chu Feng learnt of the origin of those people.
As Chu Feng had guessed,
