The four Flying Flower Study disciples were already scared witless.
They fled straight southward with great urgency, and such haste suggested they had backers in the south.
Sure enough, they hadn't gone far before arriving deep within a mountain range.
This mountain range appeared entirely ordinary, yet who would have thought that after venturing to its depths, these four disciples would produce a barrier key.
The barrier key activated, and a mysterious barrier gate materialized out of thin air.
Chu Feng concealed himself and followed in secret, completely undetected by the four.
Thus, when they opened the barrier gate, Chu Feng slipped in behind them.
Passing through the gate, Chu Feng realized there was more to this place than met the eye.
Before him stretched another vast mountain range.
This made Chu Feng realize that the mountain range outside was nothing but a screen—a decoy.
The mountains within were the true ones, and they concealed hidden mysteries.
Within these mountains, Chu Feng's Celestial Eye finally proved its worth. He could discern that something extraordinary was being nurtured here.
It could be a Heaven and Earth Treasure, or it could be a hidden supreme artifact.
Chu Feng had guessed correctly. The Celestial Master's Whisk had indicated that a supreme treasure was about to appear, and it was indeed connected to these Flying Flower Study people.
This was the very place where that treasure would emerge.
However, a powerful and complex formation had already been laid across this place.
The formation spanned the entire mountain range, its power formidable enough to interfere with Chu Feng's perception.
For the moment, Chu Feng couldn't see through it to determine exactly where the budding treasure lay.
But he was in no rush. The Flying Flower Study disciples were right here, and following them to the so-called treasure would be easy enough.
In truth, had this treasure belonged to another faction...
Given the current situation, this emerging treasure clearly already had an owner.
And Chu Feng was not one to seize things that belonged to someone else.
But Flying Flower Study was the exception.
This faction, outwardly a righteous and prestigious sect, was in reality an evil force that had committed every manner of atrocity.
Against such a faction, if Chu Feng had the power, he would happily wipe them out entirely.
And taking their treasure? That came with a perfectly clear conscience.
Those four disciples had fled in panic, but once inside the mountain range, they moved with clear purpose.
They pressed onward until they reached a valley, where they rendezvoused with another group of Flying Flower Study disciples.
There were several hundred of these disciples in total.
However, they all looked somewhat exhausted, having gathered here seemingly to rest.
"Senior Brother, why are you back so soon? Didn't you say you were going to find us some beauties to enjoy?"
"Could it be that the elders caught you and sent you back?"
"Also, where's Senior Brother Lu?"
The disciples peppered them with questions upon their return.
"He's dead. Senior Brother Lu is dead," the four said.
"Senior Brother Lu is dead?!"
The words sent shockwaves through the several hundred disciples present.
At first, they thought it was a joke and could hardly accept such sudden news. But seeing that the four disciples clearly weren't joking, they had no choice but to believe it.
They immediately began asking for the full account.
As for those four, they recounted the entire sequence of events.
The four of them, along with the Sixth-rank Supreme who had previously been killed by Chu Feng, hadn't ventured out of the mountain range because they'd detected the disturbance caused by Lian Xi and the others.
They had gone out to find some beauties to bring back for the disciples' amusement.
But shortly after leaving, they happened upon the commotion stirred up by Lian Xi's trio, which led to the earlier confrontation.
They had thought they'd struck lucky, stumbling upon an incredible stroke of fortune.
Who could have known they'd run into Chu Feng, that walking calamity.
Once the others heard the full story, they were equally astonished.
What shocked them most was that someone had actually killed, despite knowing exactly who they were.
