Chapter 5664: You Arent Worthy

Im not in a rush to leave since you arent going to pursue this matter. Let me take a look around, Chu Feng said as he examined the inscriptions on the walls.

Hahaha! The bald elder suddenly burst into hearty laughter. Young friend, I should introduce myself. I am Qin Changhong, the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sects Enforcement Hall Master. It has been 23937 years since I started cultivating, and I am currently at rank five True G.o.d level. My cultivation level is not particularly impressive in the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect, but I was still appointed to such an important position. Do you want to guess why?

Why? Chu Feng asked with a composed face.

Its because Im a cold-blooded person by nature. I am exceptionally talented in the art of torture. The bald elder waved his sleeves, and countless torture tools appeared before his eyes. There were torture tools and all sorts of venomous insects, including a thirty-meter-long, maggot-looking creature that had many black legs reminiscent of a centipede.

Young friend, I know that youre staying here not because you dont want to leave the hall but because you cant. You helped Xia Xingchen activate the formation in the stone hall. You must have been misled by Xia Xingchen.

As powerful as the formation in the stone hall is, it can only be activated with a token, and theres a limited number of them. Even the previous sectmasters of our Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect wouldnt wilfully activate the formation to cultivate, let alone the others.

Do you know how Xia Xingchen got her token? She stole them. She stole our sects treasures, barged into our forbidden land, and activated the cultivation formation that only our sectmaster is allowed access tothose are severe crimes that warrant execution.

Young friend, you dont want to be implicated in her crimes. As long as you help me disrupt this formation and force Xia Xingchen out, Ill treat it as if I didnt see you here. I wont hold you accountable for anything, the bald elder said.

Xia Xingchen stole that token? I was unaware of that. She duped me! How do I terminate the formation? Chu Feng asked.

The bald elder laughed eerily in response, revealing his yellow teeth. He looked at Chu Feng with freezing eyes as he said, Young friend, youre making things hard for yourself.

Im not lying to you! I really dont know how to terminate this formation. I dont think this formation can be terminated halfway through. You should know best as a member of the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect, Chu Feng said.

The bald elder laughed once more. He raised his wrinkly hands to touch the floating torture tools floating around him as he said, According to the stone halls record, if a junior helps with the construction of the formation as the formation core, the formation will be strengthened but it can also be terminated halfway through. Young friend Chu Feng, it looks like youre trying to test my patience.

The bald elder wrapped his fingers around a dagger filled with reverse spikes before walking up to Chu Feng. Without any warning, he plunged it into Chu Fengs chest.

However, Chu Feng didnt let out a cry despite being stabbed by the dagger. Instead, he looked at the bald elder and mocked, It looks like your reputation precedes you.

Is that so? Well see about that, the bald elder sneered with absolute confidence.

Two hours pa.s.sed in a flash.

Xia Xingchens maid stared at the stone halls depth with shocked eyes.

A maggot-like monster clad in blood-red aura was inside the stone hall. Its body was filled with centipede-like legs, and every single one of them had shot outward to stab a tattered body.

The victim was none other than Chu Feng.

His body was covered in injuries after undergoing two hours of torture. His body should have already broken down given the extent of the torture he was being put through, but the bald elder had been healing his injuries while torturing him, making sure that he was conscious to perceive every last bit of the torture.

Even so, Chu Feng still refused to terminate the formation.

Jip jip jip jip!

The bald elder changed his hand seal, and the maggot-like monster raised Chu Feng up from the ground. Blood rained down from Chu Fengs body. By this point, he looked more like a lump of meat rather than a human. Yet, he was still conscious.

Young friend, you sure can take a lot, but is it worth going this far for Xia Xingchen? Whats your relations.h.i.+p? Is she your master? the bald elder asked.

Heh Chu Feng sneered weakly. Old man, I can kill you right now, but do you know why Im holding back?

The bald elder naturally didnt believe Chu Fengs words, but he played along and asked, Why?

Its because you arent worthy, Chu Feng scoffed as he spewed his blood toward the bald elder, but the latter quickly dodged it.

Young friend, you speak tough words, but its meaningless when you dont have the strength to back it up. Youre one tenacious b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I know youre stalling for time, but all you have achieved is to hasten your death. You have worn my patience thin. Its time for you to die, the bald elder said.

Killing intent flashed across the bald elders words, but Chu Fengs subsequent words stopped him.

What a pity, Chu Feng remarked.

Whats a pity? the bald elder asked.

Its a pity Ill have to use it on you.

Young friend, I have no interest in conversing with you any further. You can keep your nonsense for King Yama in h.e.l.l! the bald elder scoffed as he unleashed his killing intent.

Boom!

The surroundings suddenly shook, and a powerful shockwave ravaged the stone hall.

Xia Xingchens maid was struck by the ripple and knocked heavily against the wall. Blood flowed from her seven apertures, and all of her bones were fractured. She only had a breath left in her.

Terror filled her eyes when she weakly raised her head to look at the hall Chu Feng was in.

The bald elder was lying on the ground, with a leg pressed down on his head.

It was Xia Xingchen, but her cultivation was no longer at rank three True G.o.d level but rank five.

Y-your cultivation? the bald elder exclaimed in a panic.

Old thing, arent you looking for me? I am standing before you right now. What are you panicking for? Xia Xingchen asked coldly.
