Phoenix Emperor
Chap 20's. Hunting VI

After the disciples were transferred to the wilderness, Zhao Yujin then ordered some high-level cultivators to keep an eye on the participants.

In addition, Zhao Yujin also gave the cultivator special artifacts, so that those in the palace could watch the hunting event that was going on.

At first, the hunt was fine, until two weeks later, something happened that greatly shocked everyone in the imperial palace.

"Xu Jiang, what does this mean? Why did your disciple kill my sect disciple?!" Shan Zhe Ming was furious after seeing all of his disciples being finished off by Yin Feng.

Xu Jiang was speechless and could not say anything, he himself did not know the reason behind Yin Feng's actions, never even expecting if his disciple could kill viciously.

"Why are you quiet?!"

"Sorry, there's nothing I can explain" Xu Jiang replied.

"Xu Jiang, if you don't give an explanation, then be prepared to fight!"

"Shan Zhe Ming, please be calm and do not be rash in making decisions" Zhao Yujin said.

"Your majesty, I can't possibly be quiet when I see my disciple being killed in front of my own eyes!"

Zhao Yujin confirmed Shan Zhe Ming's remarks, but after all he couldn't possibly let the two sects fight, let alone those be the pillars of the Bei empire.

In addition, Zhao Yujin also explained that the same action could have been done by other participants, because from the beginning, there was indeed no prohibition not to kill each other.

Zhao Yujin's explanation suddenly made Shan Zhe Ming silently silent. Even so, he still could not accept the fact that his sect disciple had been killed by Xu Jiang's disciple.

"Now you better calm yourself down first."

"Okay, your honor."

For now, Shan Zhe Ming had no other choice but to obey Zhao Yujin's words, because if he resisted, then he would be in deep trouble.

"Xu Jiang, I hope you warn your disciple, because from now on, he is an enemy of the Jade Mountain sect."

"Okay, your highness" Xu Jiang said.

"The second elder, call the third elder, have him wake the animal" Shan Zhe Ming said after leaving the throne hall.

"Is the patriarch sure he wants to do this?"

Shan Zhe Ming nodded, "the original plan was indeed different, but I couldn't possibly stand by to see my students die."

Originally, Shan Zhe Ming had intended to control a ruling-level spiritual beast that existed in the wilderness, and who was used as his bait was a disciple of the Jade Lotus sect.

However, everything he had planned instead was destroyed in the hands of Yin Feng and now, Shan Zhe Ming was intending to use that spiritual beast to kill the participants.

"Xu Jiang, don't expect you to escape my grudges, you and your sect will be the first enemies I will destroy."

"After destroying your sect, then my desire to become the Jade Mountain sect as the strongest neutral sect will be even closer."

Originally, the Jade Mountain sect was a fairly well-known white sect in the Bei empire, but as time went on, the flow turned neutral instead.

No one knew what the cause was, but it was certain that the sect had become a neutral sect since decades ago, precisely in the time before Shan Zhe Ming.

And now, as a leader Shan Zhe Ming had an enormous ambition, which was to make the Jade Mountain sect the strongest neutral sect in the Bei empire.

His ambition was to start by eliminating the Jade Lotus sect, because in addition to having a personal grudge, he also hated the Jade Lotus sect which always stood in his way.

"Xu Jiang, prepare to meet destruction!"

Wilderness.

Moreover, according to the information from the ones they had obtained earlier, in the deepest part of the wilderness there was a ruler-level spiritual beast that was asleep.

If those ruling-level spiritual beasts were to awaken, it was certain that they would all be in grave danger and the stakes were their own lives.

"Chairman, I found another group not far from this place."

"How many are they?" asked Yin Feng.

"About ten people, all of them are Celestial Spirit realm cultivators" He Jin replied.

Yin Feng smiled behind the mask that covered his face, "you guys wait here, let me just seize their soul crystal."

"Are you sure?"

"Just calm down, I'll go straight back if I can't deal with them" Yin Feng replied, then left the place.

A few minutes later, Yin Feng finally arrived at the place in question, there was indeed a group of cultivators numbering ten who were resting.

"The strongest ones are only five-star Heaven Spirits."

After confirming the enemy's strength, Yin Feng then came out of his hiding place, then walked over to all of them casually.

"Who are you?!" said one of them while pointing his weapon at Yin Feng.

"Calm down, I just happened to pass by" Yin Feng replied.

"Cih... Do you think we're gonna believe your bullshit?"

"If you don't believe me, please check the situation around."

One of them then released his spiritual soul, then checked the circumstances around them, but he found no one but Yin Feng.

Despite that, Yin Feng's figure looked extremely suspicious in their eyes, especially since the aura of his existence could not be felt at all, nor was his cultivation.

"Hows it? Did you find anyone else around this place?"

"Near this place there is no one but you, but we can't just trust you."

"I understand, then how can I convince you?"

The leader of the group smiled, "easy as it is, you just need to hand over your soul crystal."

"Unfortunately, I cannot fulfill that wish of yours" Yin Feng said.

"Then, we'll snatch it from you!"

"Do it if you can!" yin Feng said.

"Haha! Don't be so arrogant, boy!"

The young men then surrounded Yin Feng so that there was no way for him to escape, yet what they did not know was, Yin Feng had no intention of escaping.

"Groan!"

One of them moved forward and directly attacked Yin Feng, but before his sword touched the target, Yin Feng had already disappeared from sight.

Bugh!

At the same time, a loud punch suddenly landed right on the young man's face and sent him flung a few meters away from the spot.

"Don't be too rash, the fight has just begun" said Yin Feng who had appeared again in the previous place.

"Be careful, it doesn't seem like he's an ordinary cultivator."
