Chapter 6022: It’s Compensation, Not Theft
Thus, Chu Feng decided on the spur to make an exception and meddle a bit more. He would go further to bear all the hatred for this matter.
“Those who obtained the empty token from the palace earlier, hand it over,” Chu Feng commanded the Ancient Era’s juniors.
Some of the Ancient Era’s juniors gestured with their eyes, while others sent a voice transmission. All of them were pointing toward the three red-cloaked men.
The three red-cloaked were scared out of their wits. They knew that they were in a terrible position, so none of them tried to argue their way out. They quickly reached into their Cosmos Sacks to take out the empty tokens before handing them to Chu Feng.
The other two red-cloaked men also dropped their veils, but Chu Feng couldn’t discern their appearance as their faces were too swollen. Their lives were not in danger, but the injuries were severe. They had to limp around, a sign that their souls had been injured.
Qin Xuan was the culprit behind that.
Even though the three red-cloaked men were the masterminds behind this incident, the only ones who dared to make a move on them were Chu Feng and Qin Xuan.
From the start to the end, Yuwen Yanri had refrained from making a move.
It was not because he feared vengeance from the Ancient Era’s juniors, but that he didn’t think that there was a need for him to step in at all.
“Young hero Chu Feng, we were foolish,” the plump red-cloaked man said with a fawning smile as he handed the empty tokens over.
The average-sized red-cloaked man also tried to smile fawningly, but he looked ridiculous after having lost some of his teeth. “We’re truly sorry.”
The short red-cloaked man under Chu Feng’s foot didn’t say a word, but he silently handed over the empty tokens too.
All in all, the three of them handed over 36 empty tokens. That was the number of empty tokens available in that palace.
“Do you know your mistakes now?” Chu Feng asked.
“It’s a misunderstanding!” the two red-cloaked men replied with lowered heads.
Chu Feng had seen too many of such people. The red-cloaked men had surrendered, and they just wanted this matter to blow over now.
The short red-cloaked man quietly handed over his Cosmos Sack.
Chu Feng inspected the content of his Cosmos Sack, only to burst into laughter right after. Something was conspicuously absent from his Cosmos Sack.
“Where’s that God Armament ax you brought out earlier? Does that not count as a treasure?”
The short red-cloaked man’s heart skipped a beat. “Young hero Chu Feng, I can’t hand over that God Armament! That is...”
Before he could finish, Chu Feng asked, “Is your life or your treasure more important?”
The short red-cloaked man took out his God Armament ax with a flick of his wrist and handed it over.
Chu Feng accepted the item. He turned to the crowd and said, “I probably should remind you what I want isn’t just your Cosmos Sack but all the treasures you have. Don’t play tricks with me, unless you think that your concealment means are superior to the formations here.”
Those who had hidden their treasures quickly handed everything over. They knew that Chu Feng wasn’t bragging. His ability to unravel the barriers around the stone pillars with great ease was evidence of his observation prowess.
The treasures Chu Feng received this time were much more valuable. He had received three God Armaments from them, so he naturally revealed a satisfied smile.
He didn’t share these treasures with the other present-era cultivators, not just because he didn’t want to implicate them, but also because he was bearing huge risks by doing this. There was no reason for him to share his gains with others.
Chu Feng turned to the Ancient Era’s juniors once more and said, “I could have silenced all of you today.”
The faces of the Ancient Era’s juniors turned ghastly pale. This was what they were the most afraid of.
“But what you have done does not justify me killing you; I shall not break my principles here. I wouldn’t have stolen your possessions if you hadn’t provoked us first. I know that some of you will not accept this outcome, but that’s fine with me. You’re free to come after me if you feel indignant.
“However, let it be known that I have gone easy on you this time. It doesn’t matter to me who your parents, master, sect, or clan are; I will not show mercy a second time. Scram!”
Chu Feng spoke with a peaceful voice, but his final word was overflowing with murderous intent. That sent a shiver down the spines of the Ancient Era’s juniors. They hurriedly escaped via the ‘Depart’ spirit formation gate.
Even the Ancient Era’s juniors, who weren’t targets of vengeance, fled too.
Chu Feng didn’t stop them, for he had no reason to do that.
