Chapter 4757: Just a Paper Tiger

Junior Chu Feng, w-what is going on? Li Muzhi asked.

Senior Li, you dont have to worry about anything. Everything is in my control, Chu Feng replied.

Just what is going on? Li Muzhi continued probing on.

To put it simply, I triggered a fortuitous encounter by coming into this trial via the Blackwater Sixfinger Lake. I managed to grasp the fortuitous encounter, which initiated the Cleansing, Chu Feng replied.

You were the one who started it? But thats not right. How could you have started the Cleansing? Even Lord Dugu Lingtian didnt initiate the Cleansing when he stopped it back then! Li Muzhi found this matter hard to believe.

It wasnt just him. The other disciples were in a state of disbelief too. Everything that had transpired was beyond their imagination.

Lord Dugu Lingtian might have gone about it another way, so I shant speculate what he went through. However, Im very certain what happened this time around. I was the one who triggered the Cleansing, but this is also a fortuitous encounter to the rest of you too.

Based on what Ive seen thus far, the entire Vicious Beast Hellworld is a formation constructed by the sect founder, governing the birth and death of the beasts. However, theres a limit to how much the formation can bear, and once it reaches its limit, it would carry out a Cleansing to reset everything back to zero.

There are two types of Cleansing in total. One is an automatic function of the formation and the other one is a manual trigger. The results of resetting the world are the same, but the processes are different.

Later on, when I fully trigger the Cleansing and the destructive energy suffuses the whole Vicious Beast Hellworld, youll find yourself surrounded with many fortuitous encounters for cultivation.

If Im not mistaken, all of you will be put inside an illusory world by then. There are varying difficulties to the illusory world, but as long as you can clear it, youll be able to receive a benefit thatll be vital to you later on.

Of course, you wont be punished if you cant clear the illusory world either. Youll just be trapped inside, only allowed to leave once the destructive energy finally recedes. In any case, you wont face any danger here, Chu Feng said.

The disciples thought that they were all doomed, but who could have thought that there would be such a turn of events?

Not only would they not die to the terrifying Cleansing, but there were also fortuitous encounters waiting for them! It felt like they had been teleported from hell into paradise in the blink of an eye!

With such thoughts in mind, they began trembling in excitement.

You bastard! In the end, you were the one who started this whole mess!

A furious bellow suddenly sounded, bursting everyones bubble. It was from Zuoqiu Yanliang.

You interrupted our hunt and still dare to claim that you would be able to ensure our safety? Arent you the one who put us in danger in the first place? Zuoqiu Yanliang pointed a finger at Chu Feng as he spat through gritted teeth.

He had fallen on his bum out of fear earlier, but when he realized that the Cleansing was under Chu Fengs control, he rose back to his feet and reverted back to his initial arrogant state.

Grar!

All of a sudden, a furious howl echoed from the Hellking beneath Chu Fengs feet. Before the towering Hellking, Zuoqiu Yanliang looked as insignificant as an ant. It wasnt just a difference in physique; he was also hopelessly weak in comparison.

This roar directed toward Zuoqiu Yanliang ripped his robe apart, almost exposing his bare body before everyone. Meanwhile, Zuoqiu Yanliang felt his body turning numb as he fell to the ground once more.

Zuoqiu Yanliang, you sure are shameless. Even till now, you still dare to act arrogantly before me? Do you think I dare not deal with you just because you have a grandfather to back you? Kneel down and admit your fault right now, or else Ill make sure that you die a dogs death! Chu Feng spat.

Chu Feng, what are you doing? Are you intending to deal with me using the powers of the Hellking? Others might be intimidated by that trick of yours, but not me! Do it if you dare then! If you kill me, even if you can get out of the Vicious Beast Hellworld alive, you wont be able to escape from the Hidden Dragon Martial Sect!

Unexpectedly, Zuoqiu Yanliang actually showed no fear before the powerful Hellking, putting on a hardy attitude instead.

Are you questioning my guts?

The Hellking raised its leg up, projecting a massive shadow over a large swathe of land.

Junior Chu Feng, were all disciples from the same sect. Why must you make things difficult for Senior Zuoqiu? Song Qian spoke up with the intention of pleading on Zuoqiu Yanliangs behalf.

How ironic for
