Chapter 1124: Robber - Chu

"Are you calling me?" the young man across from him asked, a smile on his face, yet his words carried a sharp edge and a sense of oppression. His silver-white battle attire shimmered, making him appear remarkably valiant.

He was young, perhaps thirteen or fourteen, with black hair and eyes, full of vitality. At that moment, the blood surged within his body, sounding like a roaring river or sea, accompanied by a thunderous rumble.

Instantly, an astonishing aura erupted from him. Though young, he exuded a terrifying pressure on his peers, and a golden light shone around his body.

"A top-tier Golden Body!" some exclaimed, recognizing the young man's extraordinary achievement. He had cultivated an exceptional Golden Body, a feat that youths from ordinary clans could never accomplish.

His Golden Body had a faint purple glow, also known as a Violet-Golden Body!

Cultivating this type of Golden Body was considered a prerequisite for becoming a Heavenly Venerate, laying the foundation for future advancement to Heavenly Venerate or even higher powers. With such a Golden Body, one's path ahead would be smooth.

"To have cultivated a Violet-Golden Body at just thirteen or fourteen, this young man is truly formidable!"

"That's a young master from the Shi family, named Shi Huang. He's one of this generation's most promising talents, heavily nurtured by his clan!" someone whispered, identifying him.

Shi Huang approached with a faint smile, but a coldness flickered deep in his eyes. "Not many dare to speak to me like that," he said.

"Well, I'm certainly one of them," Chu Feng replied, also smiling, not taking it seriously.

All the young cultivators present looked on, their gazes fixed on the two.

Some knew Shi Huang's identity. His clan was unfathomable, having descended from prehistoric times, enduring without fail and remaining perpetually prosperous.

Especially in recent years, an elder ancestor of the Shi family emerged from seclusion, causing a huge sensation. That ancestor was from an era close to prehistoric times, and to still be alive—how powerful must he be now? His evolutionary stage was... unfathomable!

Upon hearing the news, particularly the rivals of the Shi family, all fell silent, no longer daring to contend with them and retreating from conflict.

Now, the Shi family was at its peak, holding significant influence in the Yang Realm. It was a powerful clan with deep roots and origins.

"I underestimated you. You have some nerve; a mere rogue cultivator daring to speak to me like that. Not bad," Shi Huang nodded, his silver-white battle attire gleaming. His body was slender and powerful, full of heroic vigor.

Chu Feng was startled. Could he tell he was a rogue cultivator?

A moment of thought and he understood: everyone else had been contacting their respective families and sects about the Time Furnace, while he alone had been standing by idly, doing nothing of the sort.

Chu Feng was surprised by Shi Huang's meticulousness. With so many people in front of the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Waterfall, he had still managed to notice the actions of a rogue cultivator.

"I'm here now, what can you do to me?!" Shi Huang said as he drew near, striding powerfully, his aura pressing.

Several individuals followed behind him—either young clan masters or core disciples of powerful sects—all of extraordinary status, yet they surrounded him as if he were the moon among stars.

In contrast, Chu Feng's side seemed meager and lacking in power, with only a donkey demon transformed into a young boy following him, remaining silent and not uttering a word, adhering to Chu Feng's advice.

Not far away, Zhong Xiu, Ying Zhexian, the White-Clad Buddhist Disciple, the Peng Emperor, and a group of others looked on, observing the scene.

"Alright, you can go back the way you came," Chu Feng said, waving his hand with an impatient expression.

"What did you say?!" Shi Huang's face hardened with coldness. Was this a mockery? Who dared to order him around like that? It was clearly deliberate taunting.

Boom!

Shi Huang erupted, his Violet-Golden Body growing even more resplendent, revealing a faint murderous intent. "A mere wild cultivator dares to babble nonsense to me," he declared.

With an arrogant expression, he moved closer to Chu Feng, ready to suppress him at the slightest disagreement.

"Alright, go stand aside. I don't have time for your nonsense," Chu Feng said impatiently. It was almost his turn, and the Time Furnace was placed on the stone table in front.

"How dare you speak like that? You're arrogant to the point of foolishness!" Before Shi Huang could speak, one of the cultivators who had followed him could no longer restrain himself.

"Shut up!" Chu Feng retorted, then moved with lightning speed, grabbing the Time Furnace and decisively thrusting it into Shi Huang's hands. The latter had already approached closely, looking down on him.

"Oh my god..." Those who had followed were all startled and immediately retreated. They were extremely wary of the furnace and didn't want to get involved with it again.

Damn it!

Shi Huang felt utterly disgusted, his hair standing on end. It would have been one thing if he hadn't known what the object was, but now he fully understood, and had even been specifically warned not to touch it a second time.

He almost threw the Time Furnace away, but with so many eyes on him, he couldn't show weakness.

However, in an instant, Chu Feng took the Time Furnace back from his hands, grasping it again himself.

Shi Huang felt a wave of relief and readily handed it back. The first time it was thrust into his hands was a lapse, an exploitation of opportunity by the other party. This time, returning it was within his control and provided a graceful way out; he certainly didn't want to hold onto the ominous furnace.

However, Chu Feng's next words annoyed him somewhat.

"Alright, go back the way you came."

Though these words seemed innocuous, in context, they were clearly meant to mock Shi Huang—calling him over only to dismiss him with a wave of the hand.

Preposterous!

Shi Huang was furious. His Violet-Golden Body erupted, blood surged within him like thunder, and his entire body glowed intensely!

Even some seasoned cultivators were astonished, secretly pondering their own abilities at that age, feeling that most likely they couldn't compare to Shi Huang.

Everyone present held an extraordinary status, and many of them privately acknowledged that they were not as talented as this Shi family prodigy with his Violet-Golden Body when they were young, which speaks volumes about his exceptional talent and power.

Chu Feng made only one move: he prepared to unleash the Time Furnace against Shi Huang.

"You..." Shi Huang recoiled as if from a viper, instantly flying backward and away from the spot.

Chu Feng said nothing, continuing to observe the Time Furnace.

"Haha..." For a moment, everyone else burst into laughter.

Many realized that the rogue cultivator had thoroughly mocked Shi Huang, calling him over only to send him away, making his opponent follow his instructions.

"Kill him!" Shi Huang commanded.

Behind him, two individuals immediately stepped forward. They were both divine-level cultivators from his clan, tasked with protecting him on this journey.

The two immediately strode forward. With a clang, one drew a divine sword, its brilliant light illuminating the area as divine energy permeated the air.

Many people's expressions changed. In such a place, rogue cultivators were indeed like vulnerable targets. Under the law of the jungle, they simply couldn't contend with scions of powerful clans, as they lacked protectors.

"Embarrassed into rage, you're directly sending out deities to kill me?!" Chu Feng's gaze turned cold.

In the Yang Realm, the world's order severely suppressed power. In some major provinces, even deities couldn't lift off the ground or fly through the sky or burrow into the earth.

Therefore, it was difficult for those two to display the terrifying divine aura capable of suppressing star rivers, as they might have in the Lesser Netherworld.

Otherwise, if this were in the Lesser Netherworld, simply the appearance of a deity would have suppressed Chu Feng to immobility, causing him to instantly explode, unless he used his past life's Dao fruit.

But now, he could still speak and respond with sharp words.

"Young man, you are naive. You've come to the wrong place. Daring to speak recklessly here, you don't even know how to write the word 'death'!"

"A mere wild cultivator dares to disrespect a core disciple of a prehistoric aristocratic family and speak presumptuously. I'll show you how to show proper reverence!"

Both deities raised their sharp swords; one intended to kill him, while the other planned to cut him in half at the waist, torturing him first.

Two sword lights, like flashes of lightning, struck out, carrying terrifying murderous intent. Killing a Golden Body-level youth in this manner was, strictly speaking, overkill, like using a dragon-slaying blade to slaughter a lamb.

All this was simply because the Shi family youth had lost face. The clan was making a statement, warning all cultivators present that the Shi family was not to be offended.

Some secretly sighed with regret, feeling that this rogue cultivator youth's death was truly... a bit unjust.

Of course, many others, such as the group of young powerhouses following Shi Huang, revealed cold smiles.

"Is there any justice left in this world?" Chu Feng asked, flicking his sleeve and powerfully striking out with... a brick!

"What is justice? My Shi family *is* justice!" both deities sneered in succession.

"Behold my Sky-Overturning Seal!" Chu Feng shouted, not bothering to conceal it.

Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew as both divine swords were shattered. All murderous intent was dispersed, and when the two swords hit the ground, they turned into broken, dull scraps of metal, scattered everywhere.

"Those who dare to oppose my Shi family deserve to die..." Not far away, someone behind Shi Huang was still whispering, but their words abruptly stopped.

"How dare you!" The two deities were even more shocked. They realized they had encountered a formidable opponent. As deities, confronting a mere youth, they were actually facing a calamity?

"What am I afraid of? Behold my ancient Sky-Overturning Seal!" Chu Feng swung the brick again, directly unleashing it.

Old Gu silently cursed. Chu Feng was using his shrunken coffin as a weapon. Though they had an agreement, Old Gu was still displeased.

However, he didn't slack off and cooperated well with the attack.

With two soft thuds, the Sky-Overturning Seal struck automatically, splattering both deities who tried to flee into meat paste. Not one escaped; all died instantly.

Furthermore, Chu Feng followed up, grabbing the brick as it flew back, and charged directly at Shi Huang.

"You..." Shi Huang exclaimed in shock and rage.

"Behold my brick, no, my Sky-Overturning Seal!" Chu Feng shouted, about to unleash the miniaturized heavenly gold stone coffin again.

"Do you dare to fight me fairly?" Shi Huang cried out. As he spoke, he summoned a host of secret treasures: various flying swords, bronze bells, profound gold pagodas, and more, shimmering in the void. These were the highest-level weapons he could wield, intended to block Chu Feng and the Sky-Overturning Seal.

"Don't you feel shameless and disgraceful? You had deities attack me, and you still have the nerve to talk about a fair fight?!"

Chu Feng sneered. Once the brick left his hand, all the weapons in front shattered instantly, and the Sky-Overturning Seal immediately hovered above Shi Huang's head, suppressing and immobilizing him.

Chu Feng rushed over, kicked him down, quickly sealed him, then grabbed him by the collar, capturing him alive.

"To seize the young master of a clan from amidst a thousand soldiers, as easily as reaching into one's pocket—I am truly a divine and exceptionally valiant talent," Chu Feng exclaimed with a sigh.

The events that unfolded in an instant were dazzling to behold: Shi Huang was captured, two deities were killed, and the rogue cultivator youth was shamelessly boasting about himself, leaving everyone speechless.

Secretly, Chu Feng asked Gu Chenhai, "Old Gu, was what you said just now reliable?"

"Reliable," Gu Chenhai replied. "As long as you do business with that organization, they guarantee your safety!"

A short while ago, Chu Feng had briefly discussed with Old Gu whether he should swallow his pride here and act low-key to ensure his safety. But that truly wasn't his style; he didn't want to be humiliated.

Old Gu had informed him to buy Meng Po Soup; once he conducted business with that organization, his safety at the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Waterfall would be guaranteed. That's why Chu Feng acted decisively, without any pretense of being low-key.

He turned to the middle-aged woman selling the Time Furnace nearby and said, "Senior, I want to do business with your organization. Please ensure I won't be attacked."

This woman and the old woman selling Meng Po Soup both belonged to the same organization, as she herself had stated.

"No problem," the middle-aged woman smiled. "Those who do business with us always live comfortably."

Chu Feng was worried that if he went to buy Meng Po Soup right away, he might be secretly eliminated on the way. He feared Old Gu alone wouldn't be able to handle it, especially since there were surely many God Kings present.

The middle-aged woman's statement now caused some people's expressions to change.

Those who had initially intended to act now looked displeased, feeling they had greatly underestimated this rogue cultivator youth. He knew a surprising amount, even understanding the rules of that organization.

"Little thief, do you want to live or die?" Chu Feng demanded of Shi Huang.

"You're asking for death!" Shi Huang retorted indignantly, not believing Chu Feng would dare to kill him.

Without another word, Chu Feng slapped him hard across the face, causing blood to stream from his nose and mouth.

Moreover, he raised the Sky-Overturning Seal, ready to strike him down.

"Mercy! Don't kill him!" someone shouted from afar, finally losing their composure and unable to sit still. It was a God King-level protector.

For such a powerful clan, a core disciple, a genius youth virtually equivalent to a young master, would naturally be protected by a God King when traveling!

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Alright, pay my bill and buy ten or eight bowls of Meng Po Soup for me!"

"Why don't you just rob us?!" someone burst out in anger.

"I am robbing you! I am mugging you, right here in front of everyone!"
