Chapter 708: Creepy

Tang Shouchang saw Chen Fei and recognized Min Yanlu. After exchanging a few words with Chen Fei, he turned and left.

Gu Danying stood behind Min Yanlu, watching Chen Fei’s imposing demeanor like an abyss, trembling slightly in his heart.

The person was still the same person as before, but the positions of both sides had completely changed.

“I didn’t know that a distinguished guest was visiting, please forgive my lack of proper reception!” Chen Fei said, clasping his hands towards Min Yanlu.

“It is I who have been presumptuous.” Min Yanlu returned the gesture.

Several cultivators in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm appeared, watching Min Yanlu from afar, feeling a strange sense of conflict in their hearts.

Especially for Tong Linyun and several others who were born and raised in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, this feeling was even stronger.

After all, since they embarked on cultivation, all they had heard were various legends about Min Yanlu, and many of them had never even seen Min Yanlu’s face before.

But now, Chen Fei was already on equal footing with Min Yanlu, and Min Yanlu had even come from elsewhere specifically to visit the Primordial Sword Sect. Who could understand this feeling?

Chen Fei welcomed Min Yanlu into the residence of the Primordial Sword Sect and seated him in the main hall.

“I happened to hear that you’ve broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm, so I’ve brought a little token of my appreciation.” Min Yanlu took out a bag of holding and presented it to Chen Fei with his elemental power.

“The Chief is too kind.” Chen Fei reached out and accepted it without inspecting its contents.

“The Thousand Feathers Alliance no longer exists, so there’s no need for the t.i.tle of Chief,” Min Yanlu said with a bitter smile, shaking his head at Chen Fei’s words.

“There will be a day when it returns,” Chen Fei smiled.

Chen Fei had a pretty good impression of Min Yanlu. Initially, in the Sea Dominion City, Min Yanlu rewarded him for his merits by giving him the Celestial Azure Flower.

Because of the Celestial Azure Flower, Chen Fei was able to strengthen his cultivation and rapidly elevate his realm in a short period of time.

Although he didn’t receive any Mountain Sea Realm cultivation techniques at the time, it was somewhat regrettable. However, since they were not related by blood or friendship, Min Yanlu had no reason to increase the rewards for Chen Fei.

“I’ll take your kind words to heart!”

Min Yanlu also smiled, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, “I came out in a hurry this time, so I didn’t have time to prepare much. Here’s some insights on cultivating in the Mountain Sea Realm. If you don’t mind, you can take a look.”

Chen Fei’s expression slightly shifted as he took the jade slip.

Certainly, it wasn’t easy to give away primary cultivation techniques, as it directly related to one’s own cultivation foundation, which could easily become a target if obtained by others.

After all, techniques like cultivation methods were rarely perfect; there were always pros and cons.

Providing insights into cultivation had been a very intimate gesture, and it had been the greatest goodwill Min Yanlu could offer.

If he had truly planned to reclaim the Thousand Feathers Alliance in the future, Min Yanlu had genuinely wanted to leverage Chen Fei’s strength.

“Chief, you have given me so much, I feel overwhelmed,” Chen Fei had said as he accepted the jade slip, looking at Min Yanlu.

“It’s nothing valuable; there’s no need to feel that way,” Min Yanlu had waved his hand dismissively.

“Would the Chief consider staying a few more days so that we could properly entertain you? It would have also been a good opportunity to consult on some difficulties in cultivation,” Chen Fei had invited.

The invitation had been polite, but Chen Fei had sensed from Min Yanlu’s current demeanor a sense of impending mortality. The severity of the battle in Thousand Feathers City could have been imagined.

Chen Fei had had several kinds of healing elixirs in his possession then. While they might not have cured Min Yanlu’s injuries completely, they could have at least alleviated some of the pain.

“No, I had some matters to attend to in Longhu City.”

Min Yanlu had declined, about to continue speaking when he had suddenly turned his head to look outside the main hall, or more accurately, toward the outskirts of Thousand Geese City.

Chen Fei had been somewhat surprised by Min Yanlu’s sharp perception, even while injured.

On the streets of Thousand Geese City, some residents had suddenly looked up strangely at the sky. At some point, the array formation of Thousand Geese City had been activated.

Looking towards the distant sky, a shadow was drifting towards Thousand Geese City.

The figures of Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng appeared outside the city, frowning as they looked into the distance.

Although the aura of the Monster King was not strong, it was undoubtedly that of a Monster King.

Thousand Geese City was located on the edge of the Middle Continent, where Monster Kings occasionally lurked nearby. However, these Monster Kings had been around for many years, and none had flown towards Thousand Geese City like today.

Thousand Geese City had Mountain Sea Realm experts stationed, and not just one. The nearby Monster Kings were well aware of this.

A single Monster King coming to Thousand Geese City would definitely not end well.

Inside the main hall of the Primordial Sword Sect,

“It seems that Thousand Geese City has encountered some problems. Do you need help?” Min Yanlu turned to look at Chen Fei.

“No need, Chief Min, please wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”

Chen Fei shook his head, his figure flickering and disappearing into the main hall.

Watching Chen Fei’s disappearing figure, Min Yanlu could only guess at what was happening. However, from Chen Fei’s use of body techniques, Min Yanlu could tell that Chen Fei had completely stabilized his realm and had become extremely proficient in the use of soul power.

Thinking back to the earlier information he had received, Chen Fei had just broken through and killed two Mountain Sea Realm experts, which was probably not just a rumor.

Min Yanlu lifted his head slightly, locking his gaze onto the outskirts of Thousand Geese City.

If a.s.sistance was needed later, Min Yanlu didn’t mind owing Chen Fei a favor. Inside Thousand Geese City, more and more people were sensing the aura of the Monster King.

Compared to the Mountain Sea Realm, the aura of a Monster King was undoubtedly more violent, reflecting the ferocity of sea monsters.

Even ordinary people, when they caught sight of the dark shadow from afar, felt as if a heavy weight was pressing on their hearts, making it impossible to breathe. After staring for a moment longer, they might even black out, unsure of their surroundings.

And this was with the protection of Thousand Geese City’s array formation. In the wilderness, those with insufficient cultivation would have their minds scattered by the unintentional release of the Monster King’s aura, fainting on the spot.

As the Monster King drew closer, Thousand Geese City began to appear restless.

It was only because there were Mountain Sea Realm experts within Thousand Geese City that it hadn’t descended into chaos yet. Otherwise, people would have been fleeing in all directions for their lives.

Chen Fei’s figure appeared next to Tang Shouchang, nodding slightly to the two.

“It’s been many years since Thousand Geese City was last disturbed by a sea monster. This Monster King’s aura is strange, and coming alone like this, it’s likely a deception,” Ning Baizheng whispered softly.

“I’ll go meet them first,” Tang Shouchang said.

“No need, this Monster King is here for me,” Chen Fei stopped Tang Shouchang.

Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng hadn’t quite understood Chen Fei’s words yet. It seemed that the Monster King had sensed Chen Fei’s aura, and in turn, the Monster King had also displayed its own aura.

Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng’s bodies instinctively tensed, a physiological response to facing a powerful aura. In case of any attack, they could react immediately.

However, soon after, Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng felt something peculiar within the Monster King’s aura.

This peculiarity didn’t just come from the Monster King; it also came from Chen Fei beside them, as his aura unexpectedly resonated with the Monster King’s.

Ning Baizheng’s eyes slowly widened as he thought of a possibility, involuntarily turning his head to look at Chen Fei.

Tang Shouchang was a bit slow to catch on, but as Chen Fei’s aura prevailed and the Monster King’s aura actively subsided, Tang Shouchang finally realized.

This wasn’t just resonance; it was clear that the Monster King’s aura was actively harmonizing with Chen Fei’s. And the only possible explanation for this situation was that this powerful Monster King had been subjugated by Chen Fei!

Tang Shouchang looked at Chen Fei. Had he gone out a few days ago and recruited a Monster King as a subordinate?

The feelings of Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng at this moment were even more bewildering than the arrival of the Monster King.

The attack of the Monster King could be seen as the monsters seeking blood and sustenance.

Chen Fei had gone out briefly that day and returned the same day, claiming to have recruited a Monster King outside. Could there be anything more extravagant than this?

The number of sects on the Middle Continent was countless, with many powerful ones among them.

Some powerful individuals might forcefully subjugate sea monsters, but that was generally something achievable only with a cultivation level one or two realms higher.

It was unheard of for a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator to subdue a Monster King; many Monster Kings would rather die than submit.

Subjugating a Monster King of the same realm was much more challenging than slaying one. You had to handle the situation with ease for the Monster King to be truly convinced.

Otherwise, if you managed to defeat a Monster King while heavily injured, it would only view you as a cunning human and refuse to submit!

“This monster will reside in Thousand Geese City in the future. I’ve already inscribed runes into its soul. There’s no need to worry about it causing trouble,” Chen Fei said softly.

“Since it’s runes inscribed by Master Chen, we naturally trust it,” Tang Shouchang grinned, his mind already drifting elsewhere.

They were planning to use this Monster King as a guardian monster for the sect. How could Tang Shouchang not envy this?

“With a Monster King inside the city, Thousand Geese City is even safer. We must thank Master Chen for this.”

Ning Baizheng echoed Tang Shouchang’s sentiment, deepening their understanding of Chen Fei’s strength.

A prodigy indeed, utterly unpredictable!

Those with sufficient cultivation inside Thousand Geese City watched the changes outside with bated breath.

As they saw the Monster King approaching closer and closer, they could even discern its appearance: a chicken-headed, turtle-bodied, snake-tailed creature, terrifying to behold.

As the Monster King drew near, the people inside the city suddenly realized that Tang Shouchang and the other two Mountain Sea Realm cultivators remained motionless, allowing the Monster King to approach. The distance between the two sides had become dangerously close.

Finally, they saw Chen Fei, the newly promoted Mountain Sea Realm cultivator, make a move.

Was he planning to single-handedly confront the Monster King? They had missed witnessing Chen Fei’s strength when he slew the two Mountain Sea Realm cultivators before, but today, they would witness his power firsthand. They watched as Chen Fei leaped up, landing on the head of the Monster King. And yet, the Monster King continued to fly towards Thousand Geese City.

The people of Thousand Geese City were collectively confused.

The formation of Thousand Geese City had dissipated at some point unknown to the people, and as the Monster King flew over the city, it caused countless screams. Then, the Monster King flew into the residence of the Primordial Sword Sect and landed.

Numerous questions arose in the minds of the people of Thousand Geese City. Some astute individuals thought of a possibility, their eyes widening instantly.

Not only were the people of Thousand Geese City shocked, but those from the Primordial Sword Sect were also bewildered when they saw Nie Li descend.

Especially many members of the Primordial Sword Sect recognized Nie Li’s appearance. Wasn’t he the Monster King who had tried to devour them on the sea?

“Everyone, I may have offended you in the past, but from now on, we are all part of the same sect!”

Nie Li’s voice resonated as he stood firmly on the ground, his chicken head slightly raised, looking at the people of the Primordial Sword Sect with a deep voice.

This voice was not only heard by the members of the Primordial Sword Sect but also by everyone in Thousand Geese City.
