Chapter 953: Chapter 953: Chaotic Battle Chapter 953: Chapter 953: Chaotic Battle Feng Jun only provided one defensive formation; he felt he had no significant obligation to the other caravan.
The caravan's procurement indeed established his foundation, but their visit was not driven by his charisma nor by a Lei Feng spirit of doing good deeds; they came for profit.
Since it was for profit, they should bear the corresponding risks; it was for this reason that initially he did not clear out those “bandits” outside, he believed the caravan should be able to protect itself–if they lacked that capability, they shouldn't earn such money.
This business sense drastically differs from that in the Earth Realm, where all businesses must consider the business environment, and nobody would blatantly disregard the feelings of the dealers.
However, this difference isn't due to different planes alone; the key lies in the fact that Feng Jun was involved in a business monopoly. He was the sole provider of these goods, which is why he had such confidence.
Indeed, the business of monopoly is just that exhilarating, otherwise why would everyone pursue monopolistic trades?
Strictly speaking, regarding today's situation, Feng Jun wasn't exactly heartless. He did consider lending another defense array disk to a different caravan, but he couldn't be sure if there would be spies among their group.
It is to be noted, he will soon be battling four transcendent beings, and although he has a Tianxin Platform high-ranking expert as his assistant, he still does not have the confidence of a guaranteed victory, hence for those less-known caravans, he could only silently apologize.
By the way, most of the information about Mount Zhige was also provided by this particular caravan.
The Yu Family and Mi Family share weal and woe with Feng Jun, thus they grit their teeth and keep silent, but this caravan was here for business, without the obligation to keep secrets–in their view, it didn't count as leaking secrets. The secrets, were known to almost everyone who made a living in Mount Zhige, it was only outsiders who were clueless.
After providing the Mi Family descendants with a Defense Array Disk, Feng Jun joined Luo Shuchen and quietly approached the two Gu Cultivators.
Distracted by these mortal martial artists, the two of them didn't notice that the senior cultivators from Pine Cypress Peak were also cautiously approaching the Gu Cultivators.
The two got within three hundred meters of the Gu Cultivators, then they could no longer proceed forward and so they hid there to observe.
After a while, Luo Shuchen couldn't help but quietly ask, “Why are those two from Pine Cypress Peak not joining them?”
Feng Jun contemplated for a moment and replied, “Probably mutual watchfulness? Maybe… they are guarding against our major attack?”
Luo Shuchen accepted this answer and couldn't help but curse, “I can't believe Pine Cypress Peak has fallen to such a state.”
There was a lull for a while, with everyone motionless.
Then, Luo Shuchen grew impatient again, “If these four people don't interact, where do we get the chance to launch a sneak attack?”
Feng Jun asked softly, “What does Brother Luo suggest?”
“I think it's necessary to make a trip back,” Luo Shuchen spoke softly, “to call Daoist Priest Xu and Daoist Priest Yan. Four high-ranking cultivators against four, I don't believe we can't overcome them.”
Feng Jun was heart-thrilled, but after thinking about it, he reluctantly shook his head, “Can you be sure that they only have four high-ranking cultivators?”
Are you kidding? Luo Shuchen couldn't help but glance at him, “Four high-ranking cultivators are quite a number… in the Mortal Realm, a fight between two high-ranking cultivators can already alarm the Cultivation World, how many can they send?”
At this moment, the two high-ranking cultivators from Pine Cypress Peak suddenly made their move, both bodies flashed, pouncing towards the two Gu Cultivators.
They had been keeping surveillance on the Liao Family Brothers, and were fully aware of their actions, but what they considered more was how to show Pine Cypress Peak's sincerity to Feng Jun.
Thus, when the Liao Family Brothers obstructed the caravan, they did not interfere, and when the Liao Family Brothers detained the caravan, they still did not interfere–until the Gu disaster erupted in the town.
They were informed rather late, but they could still sense the anomalies from the town side and immediately went to investigate the truth.
After understanding the situation, as high-ranking cultivators of transcendence, they instinctively felt: This Gu disaster, must be related to those two brothers!
Such minor incidents among cultivators can't always be strictly evidence-based, after observing for a while, they felt it was time to confront the brothers–creating chaos in the Mortal Realm meant they could intervene.
Although their purpose here was to protect Feng Jun from harm, as long as they could capture the Gu Cultivators, they could also adequately express Pine Cypress Peak's goodwill, and perhaps… they wouldn't need to stay at Mount Zhige anymore.
Following the tracking powder's clues, after quietly returning, they didn't rush to act but observed nearby for a while, trying to analyze if these brothers were indeed Gu Cultivators.
They hadn't expected to encounter Gu Cultivators when they set out, nor were they prepared with specific measures and could only confirm through observation.
Once they concluded with certainty, the two decisively acted.
A white light, vigorously swept towards Elder Liao Brother, striking directly and without hesitation.
While another black ray was silently slashing towards Second Liao Brother.
Given such a commotion by the Liao Family Brothers, it was impossible for them not to be on guard. They anticipated that the Gu Cultivators, having been challenged, were likely not to stay silent–this was not just a matter of influence, but also of face.
Thus, they were always wary of someone provoking them. Seeing the white ray sweeping towards them, Elder Liao Brother's body swiftly dodged and with a flick of his hand, he released a green ray filled densely with tens of thousands of Gu insects.
He didn't expect these tens of thousands of Gu insects to stop the white ray; it merely expressed his stance–whomever wanted to deal with them needed to consider whether they could withstand the wrath of Gu Cultivators.
However, the two individuals from Pine Cypress Peak had been observing them for a long time already. How could such a petty issue hinder them?
The old man's body likewise flashed quickly, sticking close like a shadow, paying no mind to the opponent's Gu insects…
The grand battle of the four cultivators left Luo Shuchen dumbfounded, “Holy Shit… is this Pine Cypress Peak's Bai Jiuzhou, the White Star of Death?”
“A sword expansively covering Bai Jiuzhou,” Feng Jun already knew what was going on, “But the other one, Leng Qionghua, doesn't seem much less capable, right?”
So, you knew the identities of these two? Luo Shuchen felt a bit behind, yet he still suppressed his discomfort and took the initiative to ask, “So, what's happening here?”
Who the hell knows what's going on, Feng Jun was also somewhat puzzled, hesitated for a moment before replying, “Are they… trying to silence someone?”
This guess was logically possible. He believed that Pine Cypress Peak dealing with him didn't necessarily require their direct involvement, hence they turned to two Gu Cultivators. Now that the situation had escalated, the Gu Cultivators… might need to be sacrificed.
Luo Shuchen thought this explanation made sense; thus, he just watched their battle while not forgetting to comment, “It's good that we have the patience to wait for an opportunity to act.”
Bai Jiuzhou and Leng Qionghua's combat strength was definitely not something the Liao Family Brothers could resist. After seven or eight breaths, the pair had subdued the brothers–this was still under the pretext of them wanting to capture them alive, wanting to know who directed the Gu Insect masters to cause trouble, otherwise the battle could have been ended far more quickly.
Moreover, during the battle, both sides were very careful about controlling the damage range, barely affecting the surroundings.
However, just as they had subdued the Liao Family Brothers, Bai Jiuzhou suddenly raised his head and spoke sternly, “Who's there?”
Unfortunately, it was too late when he spoke; the next moment, a powerful Divine Sense heavily shook his own sense sea.
Almost simultaneously, a bright white light slashed towards Leng Qionghua, accompanied by a loud shout, “Tianxin Platform Disciples are handling affairs, irrelevant people step aside!”
Leng Qionghua was greatly shocked, how had they provoked the madmen from Tianxin Platform? Her body suddenly disappeared and then reappeared a half mile away, shouting loudly, “We are from Pine Cypress Peak… this is a misunderstanding!”
This was an incredibly sleek “Blink,” she was renowned for her agility and was highly skilled in assassination. This was why the two of them were chosen to protect Feng Jun, as their cultivation techniques and combat styles were most suitable.
But Luo Shuchen was also fully prepared and suddenly made his move, knowing that the opponent was Pine Cypress Peak's “Leng Sha”, he naturally had corresponding measures.
Just as Leng Qionghua blinked to the side, a blue net fell over her head–it was Luo Shuchen's proud Magical Treasure “Green Gauze Cover,” not very strong in binding cultivators, but excellent in tracking.
In short, even if the Green Gauze Cover could capture Leng Qionghua, it might not hold her for long–after all, she was an ascendant high-rank, but Luo Shuchen aimed only to briefly control her for a few moments.
Even if he couldn't control her, with this distraction, he could buy a few moments for Feng Jun, which was his goal.
At that moment, he hoped Feng Jun could really do as he had said–slay a high-rank ascendant within five breaths.
Leng Qionghua's great reputation was certainly not without merit; she raised her hand, sending a yellow petal towards the blue net and then took another Blink, shouting loudly, “You'd better stop while you can!”
Luo Shuchen sneered, pushing forward, “Tianxin Platform Disciples never know when to stop!”
Their side was fighting tumultuously, but on Feng Jun's side, it was even more thrilling.
Caught off guard, Bai Jiuzhou was attacked with a Divine Sense Attack but his path was originally tricky and light, specializing in ambush and assassination. His resolute nature, not to mention his considerably strong Divine Sense, meant that the attack didn't have much impact on him. Instead, the instant he was attacked, he threw a handful of black needles towards Feng Jun's direction and swiftly executed a Blink.
This was his true combat style, striking once without even looking at the outcome, then stealthily retreating before launching the second strike.
But Feng Jun was ready, not recklessly rushing forward, but instead first dodging swiftly.
He didn't see the attacker's needles, but seeing that hand gesture, he decisively evaded.
His agility was not on par with his opponent, but with the consciousness for that swift dodge, he was able to avoid the strike.
