After annihilating the members of the Linghu Heavenly Clan, Chu Feng collected their Universe Bags and all the treasures on their bodies.
Even if he wouldn't use these items himself, selling them off would still net a considerable fortune — he naturally wouldn't let them go to waste.
Of course, the valuable things on their bodies weren't limited to the obvious items. Even in death, their bodies still held a special kind of value.
That value was — Essence.
Chu Feng used barrier techniques to extract all of their Essence and carefully stored it away.
The Essence of a hundred thousand martial cultivators was no small number.
Moreover, among them was Essence from a Sovereign Realm expert.
The Essence Chu Feng had harvested at this point was truly abundant.
"My Queen, I've prepared another gift for you."
"When you awaken, I'll give it to you."
As Chu Feng thought these words to himself, he carefully stored the Essence away.
For ordinary martial cultivators, Essence held no use whatsoever. But for spirit world beings, it was one of the primary resources for cultivation in this world.
Chu Feng was keeping the Essence from these Linghu Heavenly Clan members as a gift for his Queen.
After dealing with the Linghu Heavenly Clan, Chu Feng went to find Yin Zhuanghong and the others.
Upon seeing Chu Feng again, everyone from the Red Robe Sacred Ground — whether elders or disciples — looked at him with deep gratitude. Some of the elders were even weeping openly.
Everything they had just endured had been nothing short of a nightmare. It was Chu Feng who had roused them from that nightmare. It was Chu Feng who had saved their lives.
"Elder, the Myriad Heavens Gate has now openly fallen out with your Red Robe Sacred Ground."
"What do you intend to do?" Chu Feng asked.
"At this point, we have no choice. We can only go to the Sect Leader," said the Red Robe Sacred Ground's Supreme Elder.
"I wonder where the Sect Leader is now?" Chu Feng asked.
"Well…" At Chu Feng's question, the Supreme Elder's expression turned troubled.
"I understand." Chu Feng knew that the Supreme Elder of the Red Robe Sacred Ground simply wasn't willing to tell him.
"Young friend Asura, our lives were all saved by you. Normally, we shouldn't hide something like this from you. But the Sect Leader has said that even if it costs us our lives, we must not reveal her location."
"Truthfully, bringing so many elders and disciples to find the Sect Leader is already a grave transgression on my part. But at this point, there's no other way."
The Supreme Elder of the Red Robe Sacred Ground said.
"Elder, I understand."
Chu Feng felt this was perfectly normal. He had saved them, yes — he had done them a great favor.
In truth, back at the Red Robe Sacred Ground, the elders of the Myriad Heavens Gate had already tried to take his life. If the Sect Leader of the Red Robe Sacred Ground hadn't intervened, Chu Feng might well have died.
So in his view, that debt of gratitude had already been settled.
Besides, even if the debt hadn't been settled — gratitude was gratitude. Just because someone had done you a good turn didn't mean you had to tell them all your secrets, did it?
Those were two entirely different matters.
"Young friend Asura is an honored guest of our clan. There is no need to hide anything from him."
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and a figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing that person, the entire group from the Red Robe Sacred Ground was overjoyed.
The newcomer was the Sect Leader of the Red Robe Sacred Ground.
"Sect Leader!"
The members of the Red Robe Sacred Ground immediately gathered around their Sect Leader.
She then gave a brief account of what had transpired.
After hearing the summary, the Sect Leader of the Red Robe Sacred Ground made the same decision as the Supreme Elder — they would temporarily abandon the Red Robe Sacred Ground and go into hiding first.
After all, even though the Sect Leader of the Red Robe Sacred Ground could fight Tuoba Cheng'an, she was no match for the Sect Leader of the Myriad Heavens Gate.
If the Myriad Heavens Gate truly descended into madness and led an army to assault the Red Robe Sacred Ground, they would have no choice but to await their deaths.
