Chapter 59: Small Punishment

“There’s no reaction at all?”

Zhou Feng was standing under the moonlight, feeling the Spiritual Qi gushing out of his body.

He had exterminated all the Bitter Bamboo disciples on the front mountain in the past three days.

He was the only one left in the front mountain now, yet no one had come to question him.

No one in the sect had noticed? Even the Grand Elder, who had been in seclusion, did not react.

This scene made Zhou Feng start to think. This was a little illogical. He really did not understand the Tri-Gu Sect’s internal management.

However, this was also good. Such a crude management method gave him a lot of room for development.

This also confirmed some of his previous suspicions.

The Tri-Gu Sect was internally split. Basically, each faction had its own management style, and none of the mountain peaks had a deep connection with each other.

Adding on the fact that he had already understood the small cliques, it seemed that the Tri-Gu Sect was not a sect at all. It was more like a loose alliance that a powerful entity had forcefully fathered.

“I wonder if my current strength is enough to fight against Soul Altar cultivators…”

Tomorrow was the day to carry out the sect mission, yet Zhou Feng did not clearly understand his own strength.

This was because after swallowing the entire Bitter Bamboo Peak, his Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi were extremely rich.

The Blood Qi was directly condensed like paste, and when it was lightly circulated, it emitted waves of booming sounds.

His Spiritual Qi was also terrifying!

In any case, when Zhou Feng used the Demon-Devouring Battle Art, a second demonic avatar could already be condensed behind his back.

Not to mention that his physical body had reached a horrifying level after triggering Old Skin countless times.

At present, Zhou Feng didn’t even need the Demon-Devouring Armor to take on a spirit energy attack head-on. He wouldn’t even be the slightest bit shaken.

It could be said that if he were to be compared to a normal 9th Level Qi Condensation cultivator, his current battle prowess had completely exceeded the standard.

Still, it was somewhat uncertain when facing a Soul Altar opponent. After all, he had never fought against a Soul Altar opponent before.

…

The sun was high up in the sky.

Zhou Feng had arrived at the agreed-upon main peak long ago.

At the same time, a group of people had been stationed there long ago. It seemed that they had arrived very early.

“Is everyone here?”

The new party arrived a little late, so Zhou Feng received the attention of everyone present, especially from the person sitting cross-legged on a palanquin.

“He has some strength! No wonder he is so arrogant! Unfortunately…”

Jiang Jinge slowly closed his eyes after sensing Zhou Feng’s massive reserves of Spiritual Qi. He then took out a Heart-Linking Gu and slightly circulated his Spiritual Qi.

In an instant, Zhou Feng felt as if his heart was being gnawed by something.

That kind of pain made him unable to stand steadily.

It turned out that the Heart-Linking Gu in Jiang Jing’s hand and the Heart-Linking Gu in Zhou Feng’s body were a pair.

When the Heart-Linking Gu in Jiang Jing’s hand was tormented, the one on Zhou Feng’s side also had a reaction.

The intense pain made him unable to help but cover his chest. At the same time, he lowered his head.

“This is just a small punishment! Pack your things and get ready to leave!”

Jiang Jing quickly stopped what he was doing and let Zhou Feng follow behind the team.

It turned out that Jiang Jing was the leader of this mine-robbing mission. Everyone else, including Zhou Feng, was just support.

Therefore, Jiang Jing had the Heart-Linking Gus of everyone in the team.

He wanted to be able to control this group of people. The outside world was not like a sect.

Although Jiang Jing was a Soul Altar cultivator, this group of people would probably harbor evil thoughts without the Heart-Linking Gu as a control method.

After all, the inner sect was extremely cruel in itself, and there were no strong restraining methods.

Their mentality was simple: Could a single powerful person kill them all in one go if they simultaneously tried to escape?

Those who could become inner disciples were basically not good people. Not to mention those who could cultivate to the Qi Condensation realm were vicious people.

Jiang Jing had just broken through to the Soul Altar realm, and he urgently needed to forge a soul artifact and place it on the Soul Altar for nurturing.

That was why he had taken the risk to accept this sect mission. It could be considered to be a show of strength for everyone.

Zhou Feng just happened to become a demonstration target, serving as the chicken that was killed to warn the monkeys.

As expected, the group instantly tensed up upon witnessing Zhou Feng’s predicament.

“Is this the Soul Altar realm? This Heart-Linking Gu doesn’t seem to be as powerful as I imagined!”

Zhou Feng lowered his head and slowly walked to the back of the team.

If someone saw his face now, they would definitely reveal a shocked expression.

Zhou Feng did not have any expression of pain on his face. On the contrary, he was expressionless.

Perhaps it was because he constantly triggered Old Skin, and now his physical body was powerful.

The Heart-Linking Gu’s bite did not hurt as expected. If it was just this level, he could still endure it.

Zhou Feng’s earlier reactions were just an act in order to reduce his presence. Although he had acted like a madman on Bitter Bamboo Peak, it did not mean that he did not have a brain.

His main goal was naturally to complete the sect mission.

As long as he completed this sect mission, he would be able to obtain the Spirit Nurturing Pill and use this to break through to the Soul Altar realm.

This was the goal that he needed to complete now.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, he didn’t need to think about anything else, nor did he need to throw a tantrum. It would be best if everything went smoothly for this sect mission.

“Set off!”

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Jing immediately urged them to set off.

The mine was very far away, so they would probably waste quite a bit of time If they didn’t set off as soon as possible. After all, they could only travel during the day. Not even seasoned cultivators would dare to casually walk around at night.

The Southern Border’s nights were terrifying!

Zhou Feng followed the team slowly down Mount Gu. During this process, he was at the end of the team.

At the same time, he pricked up his ears and gathered information through the conversations of the others.

First of all, it was the composition of this team.

The leader was Jiang Jing, a Soul Altar cultivator. The others were basically in the Qi Condensation realm, and almost all of them were 8th or 9th Level Qi Condensation cultivators.

There wasn’t even a single person below the 8th Level of Qi Condensation realm.

These people came from different peaks, and all of them had one thing in common—they didn’t seem to have any backers.

It was like a group of cannon fodder that had been gathered together.

Zhou Feng naturally paid the most attention to Jiang Jing because he was the only Soul Altar expert in the group, and he also had the Heart-Linking Gu.

Unfortunately, the others would ignore Jiang Jing when they talked and would not talk about anything related to Jiang Jing.

“Do you know where we are going this time?”

“I know! I heard it’s a small mine near the Myriad Worm Cave!”

“Myriad Worm Cave? Is it a place with many mines? I heard there are many forces stationed there!”

“That’s right! Many small factions are searching for gold there besides our Tri-Gu Sect, the White Bone Temple, and the Penta-Ghost Sect!”

“Those small factions discovered the mining caves that we are stationed in this time!”

“…”

As the group left the mountain range, many people relaxed and began to discuss softly.
