Chapter 149: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At that moment, Ye Zai and Gong Jiu were being targeted by the deity statue of the Voodoo Cult.
These two didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest when facing the deity statue that possessed the strength of a Purple Mansion cultivator.
They kept on using all sorts of methods, especially Gong Jiu.
Compared to when Zhou Feng was battling, Gong Jiu’s body was currently enveloped by all sorts of precious light.
God knows how many top-grade soul artifacts were emitting light.
Compared to Gong Jiu, Ye Zai was much shabbier and did not use any soul artifacts at all.
His terrifying body was emitting a huge amount of Blood Qi while he was using all kinds of battle techniques.
“Run!”
“Go!”
“We can’t stay here any longer!”
“…”
After the sudden turn of events, the other Tri-Gu disciples naturally would not stay where they were.
Almost none of them considered fighting against the invaders; they were all thinking about how to escape.
Zhou Feng naturally wouldn’t risk his life for the Tri-Gu Sect.
He had been using the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art nonstop, so his entire body was much weaker.
He could only take advantage of the chaos to leave the blessed land.
Now, the entire blessed land was in a mess as the surrounding formation was destroyed.
Just as he left the blessed land, Zhou Feng saw Tri-Gu disciples fighting with a group of people.
‘These are… people from White Bone Temple and Penta-Ghost Sect?’
He could tell at a glance that these were people from the White Bone Temple and Penta-Ghost Sect.
Other than the Voodoo Cult, the White Bone Temple and Penta-Ghost Sect were also attacking the Tri-Gu Sect this time?
The three sects must have been planning this for a long time, and there should definitely be a mole in the Tri-Gu Sect.
It seemed that the Tri-Gu Sect was doomed this time.
‘Is this the best opportunity?’
If he wanted to escape from the Tri-Gu Sect, this should be the best opportunity for Zhou Feng.
The Tri-Gu disciples and higher-ups had no time to take care of themselves, and even the sect’s grand formation had stopped working.
The success rate of escaping from the Tri-Gu Sect was close to 90%.
Moreover, Zhou Feng had obtained the Purple Mansion realm breakthrough method from Leng Maner.
It could be said that right now, the Tri-Gu Sect did not have anything that was worth his nostalgia.
Zhou Feng was extremely curious about the method to use the Vital Gu.
Ever since he had refined the Demon-Devouring Gu into his Vital Gu, the Demon-Devouring Gu seemed to have become a pendant.
Other than being useful in some situations, it was useless in most situations.
It was obvious that the Tri-Gu Sect had another trick up their sleeves.
They had not taught their disciples how to merge man and Gu into one.
It was always difficult whenever Zhou Feng wanted to use the Demon-Devouring Gu in a battle.
But fighting alongside a Gu was the Tri-Gu Sect’s signature move, so he suspected that the Tri-Gu Sect had another trick up their sleeves.
‘Now seems to be a good time to fish in troubled waters!’
He could use this opportunity to harvest more souls and increase the strength of his divine soul.
Or it could be said that he could get more cultivation resources.
After leaving the Tri-Gu Sect, Zhou Feng would become a vagabond cultivator.
It should be common sense that vagabond cultivators lacked cultivation resources.
Based on various considerations, as well as the adventurous spirit in Zhou Feng’s bones, he decided to stay first and observe.
“Who dares to invade our Tri-Gu Sect!?”
Just as Zhou Feng was about to find a place to hide and recover his condition, a deep voice directly suppressed the deity statue of the Voodoo Cult.
The Tri-Gu experts had finally reacted.
Although the Tri-Gu Elders were not in the sect, it was impossible for such a large sect not to have any hidden Purple Mansion experts.
Booming sounds kept coming from the horizon. It seemed that the Tri-Gu Purple Mansion experts were fighting with the deity statue of the Voodoo Cult.
At this time, the Tri-Gu Sect seemed to have found its backbone.
The ringing of bells continuously gathered the disciples of the sect.
“Haha! Your old bones aren’t dead yet? Next, let us meet you!”
“It’s useless! Today, your Tri-Gu Sect will definitely be exterminated!”
Then, two voices entered everyone’s ears again.
For a moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and countless vengeful souls began to disperse, turning the surroundings into a ghostly domain.
At the same time, an enormous skeleton appeared. The skeleton’s body was like white jade, and its body was covered in a blood-red mist.
A Purple Mansion expert from the Penta-Ghost Sect and one from the White Bone Temple joined the battle.
The battle situation that had just stabilized suddenly lost its balance.
Cries of slaughter, clashing sounds, and screams of agony filled the entire Tri-Gu Sect.
Zhou Feng casually found a room and entered it to recover from his injuries first.
His previous injuries had mostly recovered due to his passive skills.
However, the Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi he had consumed were not replenished.
Therefore, he took out the medicine gourd again after entering the room. Then, he gulped down a few mouthfuls of it.
The spiritual energy contained in the medicine liquid was quickly absorbed.
“There’s someone in this room!”
“Hurry up and grab him!”
Zhou Feng had only been able to relax for a few seconds when he heard a few noisy voices.
These were the disciples of the Penta-Ghost Sect and the White Bone Temple.
“Die!”
Zhou Feng did not hesitate at all and used the Purple Jade Bell.
The Purple Jade Bell shook slightly, and the people outside the door were instantly killed.
The whole process did not take more than a second.
The people outside the door went from being excited and shouting to being silent for only a second.
This was complete suppression.
“Collection successful!”
The passive Soul Harvesting was triggered!
Zhou Feng felt another strand of soul power in his body.
Before this, he would have thought that this strand of soul power was a lot.
But right now, this bit of soul power was far from enough.
At present, Zhou Feng’s soul power was simply too lacking. Other than the additional consumption of nourishing the Purple Jade Bell and feeding the Ice Heart Gu, advancing to the Purple Mansion realm also consumed a lot of soul power.
He needed even more soul power, which meant that he had to kill even more people.
At that moment, Zhou Feng was also very glad that he had obtained the passive Soul Harvesting.
As long as he killed a cultivator, he would have a chance to obtain strands of soul power.
If he had relied on himself to accumulate it slowly, Zhou Feng would probably have remained a Grade-9 Soul Altar cultivator for the rest of his life.
As for breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm? That was simply impossible.
After resting for a while, Zhou Feng felt that his condition had recovered by 90%.
‘It’s time to hunt!’
He planned to start from the outer sect and slowly hunt down the Tri-Gu disciples who were alone. Of course, he would not let go of the Penta-Ghost Sect and White Bone Temple.
In any case, there were almost no good people among the disciples of these sects, so he did not have to worry about killing them.
Moreover, while he was killing them, Zhou Feng planned to find a way to escape from the Tri-Gu Sect.
Putting everything else aside, he had to find a way to escape in advance.
Zhou Feng’s mind was still relatively clear.
Given his strength, Zhou Feng believed that no one would be able to stop him as long as he did not encounter a Purple Mansion expert.
Presumably, those Purple Mansion experts wouldn’t pay attention to him, this little shrimp!
