Chu Feng's plan was very simple...
When he realized that the people like Jie Yan had already made up their minds and were willing to do anything to get his Shurou Ghost Axe, Chu Feng decided to play a trick on them.
He pretended to be negotiating with Jie Yan and others, but in reality, he had no intention of trading. Instead, he used their desire to obtain his special weapon to trick them into giving him a hundred million Baoyu Beads, thereby increasing his own cultivation.
After obtaining the Baoyu Beads, Chu Feng didn't even want to cut off his own arm, let alone keep the special weapon. Chu Feng would not hesitate to run away, and the drugs that Vice President Gao wanted, as well as the attack runes, were prepared for this purpose.
Although the preparations were already sufficient, it was undeniable that there were still huge risks involved. It could only succeed and not fail. If it failed, Chu Feng would face death, and no one could save him.
That morning, Chu Feng got up early and swallowed the terrifying drug in his mouth. He sat in the grand hall of the palace and waited for Jie Yan and others to arrive.
And the people from the Jieling Gonghui, Vice President Gao, Xu Zhongyu, Gu Bo, and others also arrived early in the hall where the transaction was set for that day, standing behind Chu Feng.
"Boom"
Finally, the closed door suddenly opened, and seven figures flew in. It was Jie Yan, Qin Lei, and others.
"After entering, Jie Yan didn't waste any words and directly threw seven bags in front of Chu Feng, saying: 'A hundred million Baoyu Beads, not a single one is missing. There are an additional fifty thousand, given to you for free.'"
"Carefully check and confirm, and then hand over the Shurou Ghost Axe. Then cut off your right hand."
When Jie Yan said this, he didn't move, but the people behind him, Qin Lei and others, formed a circle and surrounded Chu Feng from all directions. It was obvious that they were afraid that Chu Feng would not do as he was told and run away.
After all, on the day in the underground cave of Wan Yao Mountain, they had seen the martial arts and skills that Chu Feng had used. That speed was something they had to guard against.
And Chu Feng was not polite. With a wave of his sleeves, he sucked in the seven bags into his palm. Then, with his spiritual energy, he inspected and found that there were indeed one hundred and five hundred thousand Baoyu Beads, not a single one missing, and they were genuine.
At this moment, Chu Feng was ecstatic. One hundred and fifty thousand Baoyu Beads, this was definitely a huge number that could bring his cultivation to a rapid advancement.
Chu Feng collected the Baoyu Beads and slowly stood up. He released the Shurou Ghost Axe from his palm and scanned the seven people, saying:
"Friends, you really keep your word. But which one should I give this Shurou Ghost Axe to?"
"Gurulu."
Looking at the Shurou Ghost Axe in Chu Feng's hand, the seven people's eyes all became radiant. Even some people couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva because this special weapon was not an ordinary one. It was a weapon that could recognize its owner. Everyone wanted to take it for themselves.
"This special weapon, I need to take back to my clan. It will be arranged and studied by the clan leader in person before it can be activated." At this moment, Jie Yan spoke calmly.
Regarding Jie Yan's words, everyone had no objections. It was obvious that they had already discussed beforehand who would handle the Shurou Ghost Axe.
"Well, Elder Jie, you've got it right. Chu Feng smiled slightly, then waved his sleeves and threw the Shurou Ghost Axe out. But the arc of Chu Feng's throw was very strange. It was a standard high-throw.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to the Shurou Ghost Axe, and at this very moment, Chu Feng had already swallowed the drug in his mouth and was rapidly digesting it.
At the same time, the lightning in Chu Feng's blood was also surging rapidly. When Chu Feng's eyes emerged with lightning patterns, his aura was rapidly rising in an intangible way.
Four layers, five layers, six layers, seven layers, eight layers, nine layers. Just as Chu Feng had predicted, his cultivation had climbed to the ninth layer.
At this moment, Chu Feng could clearly feel how terrifying the power within him was. That power was so strong that it almost exceeded the limits of his body's endurance, as if it was about to burst out of his body.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Chu Feng leaped forward and transformed into a streak of light, flying up and running straight towards the top of the hall. He did not flee towards the entrance of the hall but instead headed straight for the top of the main hall.
"Bad, he's trying to escape."
At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on Xiu Ru Ghost Axe. No one noticed Chu Feng. When they realized something was wrong, Chu Feng had already started running away, and with lightning-fast speed, he blasted open the top of the hall and flew upwards.
"Take Xiu Ru Ghost Axe first." Seeing this, Jie Yan's expression changed. He waved his sleeves and a powerful suction force emerged, grasping Chu Feng's Xiu Ru Ghost Axe in his hand.
Almost at the moment the Xiu Ru Ghost Axe was in his hand, Jie Yan had already set up a layer of barrier, enclosing the Xiu Ru Ghost Axe within it. He wanted to block Chu Feng's control over this Xiu Ru Ghost Axe.
"Whirr" However, just as the barrier was just covered, the Xiu Ru Ghost Axe in his hand transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.
"Haha, stupid old man, did you really think you could cut off my connection with the Xiu Ru Ghost Axe? This ghost axe has long been integrated with me, emerging and disappearing according to my thoughts. No one else can control it except me."
At this moment, a wild and mocking laughter came from above the sky. Looking up, people found that Chu Feng had made a huge hole in this palace. At this moment, he was already flying in mid-air, and still held the Xiu Ru Ghost Axe in his hand.
"Kill him. Don't spare him any mercy." At this moment, Jie Yan was extremely furious. He never expected that the person who had prepared in advance was still tricked by Chu Feng.
"This little cheat dared to deceive us like this. Today, he has sown his own seeds of death and cannot live. Don't blame us for not remembering the kindness we showed him back then. Take his life."
At the same time, the other six patriarch-level figures were also infuriated and clenched their teeth, their faces changing dramatically. They all flew up and chased after Chu Feng.
However, how could Chu Feng wait for them at the same spot? Although Chu Feng's power was extremely strong at this moment, when facing a battle with a Tian Wu Realm powerhouse, but in the presence of seven Tian Wu Fifth-level strongmen and an experienced blue-robed Ling Shi, he couldn't be careless. So his purpose was very clear - to escape.
"Whirr"
However, before Chu Feng had flown far, the sky in front of him began to wriggle and change. Suddenly, a powerful blue barrier appeared, blocking this sky and blocking Chu Feng's path.
This is a barrier array. Clearly, someone had set it up beforehand. Whenever Chu Feng shows any sign of breaking the agreement, someone will activate this barrier array. The purpose is to prevent Chu Feng from escaping.
"Chu Feng, where are you going?"
Sure enough, just as the barrier array was about to open, two figures flew down from below. They were two elders of the Jie clan, all of them at the level of Heaven Martial Rank One.
"It's just in time."
"Perfect timing. I want to test the power of my Shurou Ghost Axe with you two." However, at this moment, why would Chu Feng be afraid of them? Suddenly, he swung his Shurou Ghost Axe, and a crescent-shaped light blade shot out.
This light blade was over ten meters long. It was originally black, but emitted a faint luster. As it moved, it carried the howls of wolves and ghosts, and wherever it passed, cracks appeared in the space.
"Bad luck."
At this moment, the two elders of the Jie clan had their faces change. They muttered in dismay, because they felt a fatal aura within the dark crescent-shaped light blade.
But it was too late. The light blade flew past, and with a "puff-chi" sound, the two Heaven Martial Rank One strongmen were cut into two pieces. Their divine consciousness was also destroyed, and they completely lost their vitality.
