Chapter 110: The Slaughter Begins

Although Chu Feng was at the peak of the Great Integration stage, possessing matchless combat power and being the foremost figure beneath the Immortal Emperors, he harbored a weakness that was not quite a weakness.

Namely, his comprehension of each cultivation realm.

Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he had cultivated step by step. But after the Nascent Soul stage, his cultivation realms were achieved instantly with the help of the system, without any bottlenecks to speak of, leaving him no time to slowly experience the changes of each realm.

At this moment, two Heavenly Lords at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage were present, and both were willing to teach him. Why not take advantage of this opportunity?

In truth, Elders Long and Mu were also filled with doubts.

Chu Feng was clearly so powerful, yet he seemed to know next to nothing about the nuances of each realm.

Nevertheless, they were more than happy to instruct someone who had defeated them when he asked for their guidance.

Furthermore, Chu Feng had done something significant.

He brought Ji Ling'er, An Miaoyi, and Shen Qianxue into the Purple Mansion Fairy Palace.

After all, deciding who could enter the Fairy Palace was just a matter of a single word from Elders Long and Mu.

Upon entering the palace, the women immediately immersed themselves in the Nine Diagrams.

However, there were two who showed absolutely no interest in the Nine Diagrams or the Purple Mansion inheritance—the two Yellow Turban Knights. Although they had been summoned by Chu Feng, they possessed their own sentience.

As for their origins, Chu Feng remained in the dark.

Yet, he could discern from their eyes that they clearly looked down upon this so-called Purple Mansion inheritance.

This could not help but arouse his curiosity about the background of the two Yellow Turban Knights.

He questioned them on the spot.

The answer he received was that they did not know either.

In their own words, the so-called Purple Mansion inheritance was still a tier lower than their own cultivation methods.

Strictly speaking, Yellow Turban Knights were merely a group of porters and laborers—strong and obedient. But no matter how menial their work, they hailed from the Heaven Realm and served immortals.

Besides, it was not as if they had no chance of becoming immortals themselves.

Nothing in the Heaven Realm could possibly be compared to the mortal world.

Just the scraps slipping through the cracks of the Heaven Realm were enough to make a mortal wealthy beyond measure. Moreover, the cultivation methods they practiced were naturally far more suited to them than the inheritance left behind by the Purple Mansion Emperor.

The Yellow Turban Knights summoned by Daoist arts were merely clones.

The true bodies of the Yellow Turban Knights were at least at the Tribulation Transcending stage, and the powerful ones could even rival immortals, being no weaker than the Ascended Emperors.

Strange things happened every year, but this year was particularly full of them.

Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Chu Feng prepared to depart.

Over the past three months, the women had all made varying degrees of progress.

Though their cultivation realms had not advanced, their comprehension of the Dao had improved significantly.

Of course, the most critical point was that countless experts had gathered outside the Purple Mansion Fairy Palace. One faction came from the Absolute Beginning Immortal Sect, seeking to avenge the Absolute Beginning Holy Son by killing Chu Feng.

Another faction came from the Jiang Imperial Family, also aiming to slay Chu Feng and reclaim Shen Qianxue.

They remained unaware that their elder, Jiang Yan, had already had her cultivation sealed by Chu Feng and was now a captive.

As for the Shaking Light Holy Land, they had surprisingly not shown up.

This came as a surprise to Chu Feng.

But on second thought, it made sense.

The Shaking Light Holy Land likely did not yet know that An Miaoyi had been captured.

As for the Great Integration elder killed by the Yellow Turban Knights, they only knew he was dead but could not deduce who had done it. The Yellow Turban Knights were beings of the Heaven Realm, and their killings left no karmic traces; it would be a miracle if the Holy Land could trace it back to them.

Chu Feng had originally planned to intimidate all three forces at once by unleashing a slaughter.

Now, it seemed he would not get his wish.

On this day, Chu Feng went before Elders Long and Mu and expressed his intention to leave. The two elders exchanged a glance, and one said, "Fellow Daoist, departing at this time may be unwise."

Chu Feng naturally understood their meaning. He smiled and said, "Are you referring to those outside who wish to kill me? In our pursuit of cultivation, strength speaks for itself. If my strength is lacking, they will simply kill me. But if my strength is sufficient, how can they possibly stand in my way?"

"The Absolute Beginning Holy Land? The Jiang Imperial Family? What of them? I dislike trouble the most. Since they are trouble, I will simply resolve them."

The Purple Mansion Fairy Palace had always maintained a neutral stance.

Under these circumstances, they could only remain silent.

Chu Feng did not immediately take the women with him to leave.

Instead, he chose to strike first.

Like an assassin, he suddenly appeared before the forces of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.

With their Holy Son slain, the wrath of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land had reached its peak.

A Heavenly Lord of the Tribulation Transcending stage had personally taken action. This man was Zheng Tianqing, the Third Elder of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.

He had already been waiting outside the Purple Mansion Fairy Palace for three months.

The Purple Mansion Fairy Palace was a sacred ground of the human race. At this moment, countless geniuses were within, comprehending the Emperor's inheritance, so it could not be rashly attacked. They had no choice but to wait.

They waited for Chu Feng to leave the Fairy Palace, which would mark the moment of his demise.

But he never expected that Chu Feng would not play by the rules.

Chu Feng silently slipped out of the Purple Mansion Fairy Palace, concealing his aura. Like a ghost, he materialized near the encampment of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.

He appeared directly before Zheng Tianqing and launched a sudden strike.

By the time Zheng Tianqing realized what was happening, Chu Feng's sword had already pierced through his body. Blood gushed out as death descended. A Heavenly Lord of the Tribulation Transcending stage was slain by Chu Feng in a single strike.

Even in death, Zheng Tianqing felt deeply aggrieved, wishing he could weep but having no tears.

Unfortunately, there were no "what-ifs."

Perhaps death was the best end for him.

Having slain Zheng Tianqing, Chu Feng began a new round of slaughter.

Raising the Heaven-Burning Sword, he transformed into a demon crawled out of hell. Wherever his blade pointed, no one was left alive.

To display their dominance and power, the Absolute Beginning Holy Land had not only dispatched Zheng Tianqing, a Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Lord, but also dozens of disciples.

On this day, blood rained down outside the Purple Mansion Fairy Palace.

Corpse after corpse plummeted to the ground.

Just outside the Purple Mansion Fairy Palace lay the Great Wilderness City. Its population of over ten million witnessed this entire spectacle with their own eyes.

Previously, they had all treated the situation like a joke, waiting to see Chu Feng meet his demise. Over the course of three months, all information about Chu Feng had already been unearthed.

He hailed from a second-rate sect, the Taixuan Dao Sect.

Possessing decent cultivation, he had become a judge for the Geniuses' Tournament. With a high probability of having reached the Great Integration stage, his luck was quite good, even managing to establish a connection with the Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Because of this, he had caused the Jiang family to suffer heavy losses.

And now, in addition to the Absolute Beginning Holy Land, the Jiang Imperial Family had also sent their experts.

Yet, such a figure was now slaughtering everyone in his path.

"The heavens are changing."

"The people from the Absolute Beginning Holy Land are dead. All of them."

"Corpses cover the ground; not a single soul survived."

The bloody massacre of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land naturally drew the attention of the Jiang Imperial Family.

Not to be outdone in their bid to deal with Chu Feng, the Jiang Imperial Family had also deployed a Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Lord.

This man was named Jiang Kaishan, an elder of the Jiang family whose status was equal to Jiang Yan's. He was the paternal uncle of the current head of the Jiang family, possessing a cultivation at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm.
