Chapter 6036: We Can Only See Them Off

“Ah? Let them collect all they want?” Qin Xuan was confused, but he soon nodded in realization and chuckled. “I get it. The praying mantis hunts the cicada, not knowing that the oriole is eyeing it. We’re letting them collect all the powers they want before snatching it!”

But Chu Feng shook his head with a smile.

“Is that not it?” Qin Xuan was even more confused.

“You’ll know soon enough,” Chu Feng replied with a mischievous smile, keeping him in suspense.

That further piqued Qin Xuan’s curiosity, but he made no attempts to probe further out of trust for Chu Feng.

More and more flocks of birds appeared.

The Redsoul Sect’s young master realized that he was consuming his tokens too quickly, so he quickly mobilized the others to channel their tokens to fight the birds too.

He did share the powers harvested from the birds with his teammates, but that wasn’t because he was selfless. His teammates should have been entitled to the powers obtained from the birds they killed with their tokens, but he snatched half of it away.

He justified his actions saying that it was thanks to him that they had the tokens to collect energies with at all, so they should be thankful that he was sharing half of the powers with them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had anything at all.

Despite them being almost ten thousand people strong, they were still no match against the birds that kept emerging nonstop from the spirit formation gates.

Soon, they depleted all their tokens, and the Redsoul Sect’s young master had no choice but to leave the area with his teammates.

There were almost a thousand birds in the sky by this point, but they didn’t chase after the Redsoul Sect’s young master and his teammates after they left the area. Instead, they circled the spirit formation gate like the first bird did.

Some time later, another thousand birds emerged from the spirit formation gate.

“Those birds spawn infinitely? We should have waited a while longer before launching our attack,” a Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s junior lamented.

With so many birds crowding in an area, they would have been able to obliterate a huge bunch of them even if they simply randomly fired their tokens’ energies.

“UWA!”

It was one thing if they had been on hostile terms all this while, but he was the one who reached out to the present-era cultivators and took them in. It would sully the Redsoul Sect’s reputation if he went on a massacre without a good excuse.

...

Meanwhile, the older generation was still observing the situation, but they were unable to decipher anything.

Just then, the number above the present-era cultivator’s spirit formation gate decreased from 9780 to 9779. It was a small change, but both the present-era and Ancient Era’s experts took it as a hint.

They thought that the secret lay in the numbers, so they stared intently at them.

...

In the realm where Chu Feng and the others were, the birds continued to spawn endlessly. Soon, there were over ten thousand of them.

Just then, all the birds started calling out while circling the spirit formation gate. Their bodies suddenly glowed brighter than ever, resonating with one another to form some kind of formation, before all of them simultaneously dove into the spirit formation gate.

“It’s changed. The spirit formation gate has opened. We can leave via it now!”

The Ancient Era’s juniors were overjoyed.

They still hadn’t figured out the purpose of the powers they had obtained from the birds, but it looked like it would play an important role later on. With this, they had gotten what they wanted from this trial, and they were ready to move on to the next one.

Even the irritated Redsoul Sect’s young master, who was tempted to massacre all the present-era cultivators, decided to spare them. He rose into the sky and shouted, “Chu Feng, continue hiding all you want! You’ll end up with nothing, whereas I’ll return with my hands full! I’m telling you that treasures are reserved for the brave. Cowards who only dwell in the safe like you should have never come here.”

He grabbed the flag floating behind him and pointed to the spirit formation gate, saying, “Everyone, let’s leave those cowards behind and march on to the next place!”

With jarring sneers, the Redsoul Sect’s young master led his almost ten-thousand-men-strong army, comprising both Ancient Era’s and present-era juniors, toward the spirit formation gate.

“Damn it! How dare they mock us? Brother Chu Feng, are we not going to make a move? They are going to leave at this rate!” Qin Xuan anxiously asked Chu Feng.

“We can’t stop them. You should take a closer look. They are wrapped in a powerful layer of energy coming from the spirit formation gate. We can’t breach that layer of energy even with the tokens’ energies,” Chu Feng replied.

The crowd took a closer look and saw that the Redsoul Sect’s young master and the others were indeed wrapped in a layer of powerful protective energy. This meant that they could only watch helplessly as the Redsoul Sect’s young master and the others safely entered the spirit formation gate.
