Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1241
The Calm Before The Storm
At
the moment when the disciples at the Mission Plaza were astonished by
how powerful Chu Feng was, the elders present were also astonished. Even
the management elders were no exception.
In fact,
there were actually two management elders in the sky above the Mission
Plaza. Merely, due the the fact that the two of them were in the sky, no
one noticed them. As for these two, they were management elders from
the Weaponry Refinement Department.
One of them was Elder Wei’s
old friend, that person who had previously tried to invite Chu Feng to
the Weaponry Refinement Department, Xiahou Jianting.
As for the other, he was an old man with a tall stature, dark skin, a head of white hair and two long white eyebrows.
This
old man’s eyes were exceptionally lively. Furthermore, he gave off an
unique air, and his cultivator’s aura was much stronger than Xiahou
Jianting’s. It could be said that he was on par with Elder Hong Mo. As
for who he was, he was the head elder of the Weaponry Refinement
Department.
“What do you think? Lord Head Elder, what I said was correct, right? Isn’t this Chu Feng a genius?”
“Not
only is he amazing in martial cultivation, his spirit techniques are
also exceptional. He is truly a legendary perfect demon-level
character.”
“From the way I see it, there has never been such an amazing person to ever appear in the history of our Cyanwood Mountain.”
“Sigh,
unfortunately, I encountered him too late, and Old Wei managed to
obtain him before me. Otherwise, if I had managed to get him into our
Weaponry Refinement Department, our Weaponry Refinement Department would
undoubtedly emerge,” Xiahou Jianting praised Chu Feng with a face
filled with regret.
“Not only is this child’s talent
exceptional, his courage and insight are also outstanding. That
red-haired girl is most likely a guest of the Medicine Concocting
Department. However, there were actually elders from the Medicine
Concocting Department present there. Furthermore, they had arrived
before Chu Feng. Judging by their nervous expressions, they most likely
wanted to help that red-haired girl.”
“However, when they saw Tao
Xiangyu, they hesitated. Due to their management elder Hong Mo being in
closed-door training, they did not have the confidence to provoke a
disciple like Tao Xiangyu, who possesses both strength and background.”
“However,
that Chu Feng dared to do something that even the elders did not dare
to do. Not only was he daring, he did it without the slightest bit of
fear.”
“This sort of courage and insight, this sort
of spirit and vigor, that is the rarest thing. That child is definitely a
rarely-seen good sapling.” The head elder of the Weaponry Refinement
Department was extremely appreciative of Chu Feng. However, his gaze
suddenly flashed and sighed, “However, it’s a pity…”
“Pity?” Hearing those words, Xiahou Jianting hurriedly asked.
“A
genius like Chu Feng will inevitably bring about the jealousy of
others. For him to come to our Cyanwood Mountain, I do not know whether
it’s his fortune or misfortune.” As he spoke those words, he looked to a
distant space. However, after a single glance, he hurriedly shifted his
gaze back.
“But… Lord Head Elder, Chu Feng is, after all, the
legendary perfect demon-level character. If he was to be nurtured, his
strength would be unimaginable.”
“It might even be
possible for our Cyanwood Mountain to surpass the other Eight Powers and
contend with the Four Imperial Clans. Are you saying that a genius like
Chu Feng is not someone that our Cyanwood Mountain should
wholeheartedly protect, and that someone would instead persecute him?”
Xiahou Jianting was able to hear the hidden implications behind the
Weaponry Refinement Department’s head elder’s words. However, he was
completely puzzled by them.
“Jiantian, as the saying goes, people
possess dreadful intentions. Not everyone is impartial and selfless.
Sometimes, for their own selfish desires, they will bring about ruin to
many things. And among those things is included the outstanding members
of younger generations.”
“There are some things that… we cannot
take care of. If this Chu Feng were a member of our Weaponry Refinement
Department, I would most definitely protect him with my all. Even if I
were to sacrifice my life, I will not hesitate to do so, for that would
be my responsibility.”
“However, since he is not a member
of our Weaponry Refinement Department, then it is best for us to not
meddle in other people’s business. You are an intelligent person. You
should understand what I mean by that.” After he finished saying these
words, the head elder of the Weaponry Refinement Department turned
around and left.
At this moment, Xiahou Jianting’s
expression became extremely ugly. It was evident that he was unable to
accept his head elder’s way of thinking. Thus, he turned his gaze toward
the direction that his Weaponry Refinement Department’s head elder had
previously looked at.
He knew that there was most definitely something there.
“This…”
Suddenly,
his eyes abruptly pulled back. An expression of fear instantly covered
his puzzled face. In merely an instant, cold sweat covered his aged
face, and he took several steps back in the middle of the sky.
“Woosh.”
Suddenly, Xiahou Jianting turned around and flew toward the direction
where the Weaponry Refinement Department’s head elder had left in. To be
exact, he did not leave, he ran away.
What had
happened over the Mission Plaza was unknown to Chu Feng. At this moment,
he and Bai Ruochen brought Sima Ying back to the Medicine Concocting
Department.
When the elders of the Medicine
Concocting Department saw Sima Ying, they were all frightened. They
hurried to treat her injuries once again and began to inquire as to what
had happened while doing so.
However, to Chu Feng, their reactions appeared to be somewhat artificial.
With
how enormous the matter had gotten, where even the disciples knew about
it, how could they, elders of the Medicine Concocting Department,
possibly not know about it?
However, Chu Feng did
not say anything about it. After all, he was also a member of the
Medicine Concocting Department. Furthermore, the elders also had their
own difficulties.
“We saved her, but she didn’t even give us a word of thanks. Truly excessively rude.”
When
she saw Sima Ying being brought back to the Medicine Concocting
Department by the elders and recalled how she had not even said a word
of thanks, or even spoken to them on the entire journey back, Bai
Ruochen felt extremely annoyed. After all, for the sake of saving Sima
Ying, she had scarred her face.
“Forget about it, she’s pretty
pitiful too. Furthermore, we didn’t save her because we wanted her to
thank us,” Chu Feng said indifferently.
When she heard what Chu Feng said, Bai Ruochen recalled Sima Ying’s pitiful experience. Thus, she stopped complaining anymore.
Instead,
she turned to Chu Feng and said, “Chu Feng, that Tao Xiangyu seemed to
truly be remarkable. What I am talking about is not her strength, but
the power behind her.”
“The Punishment Department.
That branch power organization not only possesses the strongest elders
of the Cyanwood Mountain, they also have the current strongest disciples
of the Cyanwood Mountain.”
“Tao Xiangyu is only one among them.
There are several more who are even more powerful than her. When Tao
Xianyu said that the matter today was not over, it was most definitely
not just her ravings. I fear that they will truly not leave matters be.
Even if she does, the other disciples of the Punishment Department will
not. That is because Tao Xiangyu’s defeat is not only a humiliation to
her, it is also a humiliation to the entire Punishment Department,” Bai
Ruochen said.
“Sima Ying is a guest. No matter what, she is
a guest from the World Spiritists Alliance. Even if she is the one in
the wrong first, Tao Xiangyu should not have beaten her up. With Tao
Xiangyu being wrong herself, the elders of the Punishment Department
cannot act to use their laws and decrees to punish me.”
“As for
the Punishment Department’s disciples, I do not fear them. However, I
must admit that the current me is likely to be far from a match for
them. However, even if they are able to beat me down right now, it does
not mean that they will be able to beat me down for my entire life.”
“Whoever
it is that dares to hit me ten times, I shall return a hundred fists to
him. If they are to beat down on me once, I shall beat down on them for
the rest of their lives,” Chu Feng said. Determination flashed through
his eyes.
When she saw this Chu Feng, Bai Ruochen spoke no more.
She knew that although Chu Feng possessed an impulsive temperament, he
was not an ignorant person.
Whenever he did something, he would’ve
already considered the consequences of his actions. Even though the
consequences might be grave, they were within the range of his ability
to endure. He had already made his preparations. Not only was he
prepared to to be beaten down, he was also prepared to retaliate in the
future.
After this matter ended, Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen returned
to their respective residences and ordered everyone in the Asura
Division to gather at their headquarters, and that they could not leave
unless they had something important that they had to do.
They made preparations, preparations for Tao Xiangyu coming to retaliate against Chu Feng with others.
However, after ten entire days passed, everything remained normal and no one have attacked the Asura Division.
A
situation like this caused those people who were waiting for a show to
watch to discuss the matter spiritedly. They all felt that Tao Xiangyu
might have been scared off by Chu Feng’s strength.
It was not only
limited to one or two people who thought this way. Many people felt
this way. In a short period of time, this thought passed through the
crowd like a buzz.
There were even many people who declared that
Chu Feng would become the strongest disciple in the Cyanwood Mountain,
and that the Asura Division would become unstoppable.
However, Chu
Feng knew that just because Tao Xiangyu did not do anything in these
ten days, it did not mean that she did not plan to find trouble for him.
The eve before the storm would generally be calm.
Furthermore, the more strangely calm it was, the more violent the oncoming storm would generally be.
